PGS ASA: Update on Status of Lenders' Negotiations

PGS ASA: Update on Status of Lenders' Negotiations

September 18, 2020: Oslo, Norway, PGS ASA (the "Company" or "PGS") informed in

its Q2 and preliminary first half 2020 results presentation that the Company was

in negotiations with its lenders to preserve liquidity in light of the dramatic

negative market change caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These negotiations are

in an advanced stage, constructive and carried out with the support of the

lenders under its ~$300 million export credit facilities, the lenders under its

$350 million revolving credit facility and an ad-hoc group of lenders

representing a majority of the  ~$520 million term loan B facility.

The Company believes that it is close to a solution that will achieve a

significant extension of debt maturities and scheduled amortization, and

continues negotiations with the lenders with the aim of shortly finalising an

overall solution.

To support the continuance and completion of the negotiations, the Company has

agreed a short-term extension to 25 September 2020 of the maturity of $135

million otherwise due today under the revolving credit facility.
