Prosafe SE: Update on agreement with lenders - all lender support received and warrants selection made
Reference is made to announcement of 3 August 2018, whereby it was reported that
Prosafe ("Prosafe" or the "Company") had reached agreements with COSCO and the
majority of its lenders transforming the
Company's fleet, market position and earnings potential, and securing a
significantly enhanced financial runway.
The Company is pleased to announce that it now has received confirmation of
support from all lenders for implementation of the agreements and the amendments
to the Company's bank facilities.
The Company has also been informed that the lenders' election to receive
warrants instead of increased margins have been fully utilized, implying that
9.78 million warrants will be issued. Each warrant will give a right to
subscribe for one new share in the Company at a subscription price of NOK
21.37, as determined on the basis of the average of the volume-weighted average
price of the Company's shares on Oslo Børs measured over the 10 trading day
period commencing 10 trading days prior to the announcement of 3 August 2018,
and the 10 trading day period thereafter.
The warrants will be exercisable any time from and subject inter alia to Prosafe
taking delivery of Safe Nova and/or Safe Vega and the next 3 years from such
respective delivery dates, however so that any duration exceeding 5 years from
the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be subject to approval of
such extension by a subsequent general meeting. The Warrants are expected to be
subject to certain customary adjustment mechanisms, including upon a failure to
timely provide extension approval in which case the subscription price will be
set to nominal value.
Effectiveness of the announced agreements and the amendments remains conditional
on finalized documentation as set out in the announcement of 3 August 2018, as
well as approval of the warrants issue by the Company's extraordinary general
meeting scheduled for 29 August 2018.
For further detail on the relevant agreements, please refer to announcement of
3 August 2018 and the attachments thereto, available on www.prosafe.com and
www.newsweb.no.
