On 24 May 2018, the annual general meeting resolved a share capital decrease in the amount of NOK 26,829,569, of which NOK 26,303,499.50 is to be distributed to the Company's shareholders, corresponding to a distribution amount of NOK 0.50 per share ("Share Capital Reduction No.1").
On 6 July 2018, the extraordinary general meeting resolved an additional share capital decrease in the amount of NOK 105,213,998, corresponding to NOK 2.00 per share ("Share Capital Reduction No.2"). The creditor notice period for Share Capital Reduction No.1 expired on 16 July 2018 and the creditor notice period for Share Capital Reduction No. 2 will expire on 19 October 2018.
As announced by the Company on 6 July 2018, the Company has agreed to defer all distributions to its shareholders until the earlier of (i) 1 December 2018 or (ii) the close of the offer period for the shares to be offered by Teekay (the "Teekay Offering").
