Update on financial restructuring process

  • The financial process is on track with formal support from a clear majority of the lenders.
  • As announced on 2 August 2021, the Singapore Court granted the Convening Applications from Prosafe in full. The Company therefore assumes that the solution will be implemented as earlier announced through the Singapore Scheme of Arrangements.
  • An Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the financial restructuring solution will take place in late September 2021 and closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur before or around year-end 2021.
  • As announced on 4 June 2021, the terms of the Transaction will result in a significant de-leveraging of the balance sheet with ca. 75% debt reduction, corresponding reduction in annual debt service and a more robust financial position.
  • Gross bank debt will be USD 343 million* after restructuring. Existing banks/creditors will own 99% of the equity and current shareholders and convertible bond holders will own 1% of the equity.

* Excl. Safe Eurus which is financed from the yard
