The subsidiaries of DOF ASA

To the boards of directors of DOF ASA's subsidiaries,
We write in our respective capacities as legal advisers to the lenders listed in Appendix 1, and Nordic Trustee AS as bond trustee for the bonds issued by DOF Subsea AS (the "Creditors").
Reference is made to the financial restructuring of DOF ASA and its subsidiaries ("DOF") as contemplated by the restructuring agreement dated 21 June 2022, as amended from time to time (the "Restructuring Agreement", and the transactions contemplated thereby, the "Restructuring").
As agreed between the parties to the Restructuring Agreement, the Restructuring will provide DOF with a new financial platform that secures:
The Restructuring is supported by all of DOF's key financial creditors, but did not obtain the required support of the extraordinary general meeting of DOF ASA on 11 November 2022. Together with DOF ASA and you, the Creditors are therefore in the process of completing the Restructuring through alternative implementation steps in accordance with the Restructuring Agreement.
The Creditors reiterate that they have spent significant time and resources on the Restructuring process with a view to ensuring that DOF's business and operations may continue in the ordinary course without any negative or adverse consequences. This also applies to the ongoing alternative implementation of the Restructuring. To the extent there are any adverse effects of the Restructuring, these should only affect DOF ASA, which following DOF's recent reorganisation is merely a holding company with no operations and with no creditors other than DOF ASA's financial creditors.
The Creditors and its advisors remain at DOF's disposal to offer assistance and support throughout the ongoing process.
