This restructuring term sheet (the "Term Sheet") dated 8 November 2016 sets out the key terms for the proposed financial restructuring (as described more particularly herein, the "Restructuring") of the capital structure and certain liabilities of Havila Shipping ASA (the "Company" as further defined below) and the Company's subsidiaries from time to time (together, the "Group").
This Term Sheet is not an offer to issue or sell, or a solicitation of an offer to acquire or purchase, securities in Norway, Canada, the United Kingdom, the U.S. or any other jurisdiction. Such offer or solicitation will only be made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.
The Term Sheet shall be binding on each of the parties hereto according to the terms and provisions as set out herein.
Capitalised terms used in this Term Sheet shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Schedule 1 (Definitions). The summary of the restructuring below shall be for information purposes only and in case of contradictions the other parts of the Term Sheet shall prevail.
principal debt (which amount shall be raised as new equity), a Non-Performing Vessel may be redeclared as a Core Vessel.
| 1 New Equity and ROR Interest Conversion |
out herein. | The Shares will have a face value of NOK 0.01 immediately prior to the equity issues and execution of the conversion rights as set |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Equity issues in the Company shall be made by way of (a) injection of new capital from Sævik and (b) conversion of ROR Interest ((a) and (b) together, the "Equity Issues"). The details of the Equity Issues shall be as follows: |
|||
| (a) | New Equity: | ||
| (i) | The Company shall conduct an offering of new Shares raising NOK 118.2 million in gross proceeds to the Company directed towards Sævik (the "New Equity") which Sævik shall accept. The New Equity will give a right to 615 663 840 Shares each with a face value of NOK 0.01 and a subscription price estimated to NOK 0.125; and |
||
| (ii) | A part of the New Equity may, without reducing the number of shares stated in (i) above, be provided to the Company by way of a subordinated convertible loan (the "Anti-Dilution Protection Loan") or similar instruments. The sole purpose of the Anti Dilution Protection Loan shall be to provide protection for Sævik in respect of the Shares subscribed for by the New Equity from the dilutive effect of the Non-Core Vessel Group I Conversion and the Non-Core Vessel Group III Conversion referred to in clauses 3 and 4, and thereby secure that Sævik is holding 51 % of the Shares post conversion of debt to Shares as set out in clauses 3 and 4. Upon expiry of the Restructuring Period, the balance of the Anti-Dilution Protection Loan (if any) shall be converted to one Share. The Anti-Dilution Protection Loan shall not accrue interest and shall not be repaid (other than through conversion). The Anti-Dilution Protection Loan shall further be fully subordinated to all other debt. |
||
| (b) | ROR Interest Conversion: | ||
| The Secured Creditors will convert the amount of ROR Interest (approximately NOK 135 million) into 561 340 560 new Shares in the Company each with a face value of NOK 0.01 and a subscription price of NOK 0.240 (the "ROR Interest Conversion"). |
|||
| (c) | The completion of the Equity Issues, the Anti-Dilution Protection Loan and the ROR Interest Conversion will take place on the Restructuring Implementation Date. |
||
| (d) follows: |
Following the New Equity and the ROR Interest Conversion, the then existing Shares in the Company will be held as |
||
| (i) | Sævik: 51% of the Shares; |
| (ii) | the Secured Creditors: 46.5% of the Shares; and | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (iii) | Existing Shareholders: 2.5% of the Shares. | |||
| It is understood that, save as otherwise explicitly stated herein, these shareholdings are subject to further dilution in accordance with this Term Sheet. |
||||
| 2 | Shareholder Loan | Sævik shall provide an additional cash contribution by way of granting a 5 year unsecured subordinated (to the Secured Creditors only) convertible shareholder loan in the amount of NOK 46.2 million (the "Shareholder Loan"). The Shareholder Loan shall be documented by a separate term sheet and, inter alia, have the following main terms: |
||
| (a) | Maturity date 5 years after the Restructuring Implementation Date. |
|||
| (b) | No interest (in cash or in kind). | |||
| (c) | Pre-payable at par in whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time, subject to such repayment being approved by the Secured Facility Lenders. |
|||
| (d) | Convertible at Sævik's option upon: | |||
| (i) | any conversion in accordance with clause 5 below. Conversion shall be at the same share price as the subscription price in the New Equity (cf. item 1 (a) (i) above); |
|||
| (ii) | the completion of the Repair Issue. Conversion shall be at par value of the Shares; and |
|||
| (iii) | any new equity issue in the Company (other than those contemplated by this Term Sheet). Conversion shall be at the same share price as the subscription price in such new equity issue. |
|||
| 3 | Non-Core Vessel Group I Conversion |
The Secured Creditors having financed vessels pertaining to Non Core Vessel Group I shall convert a part of such financing to equity in the Company. The conversion rights shall be granted by the issue of warrants (the "NCV I Warrants") in the Company with the following terms: |
||
| (a) | The conversion shall occur (by exercise of the NCV I Warrants) (i) upon each completion of a sale of a vessel in the Non-Core Vessel Group I, and (ii) (if applicable) on the date falling 18 months from the Restructuring Implementation Date. |
|||
| (b) | Nothing shall be payable upon subscription of the NCV I Warrants. The total amount to be converted to equity upon exercise of the NCV I Warrants shall be as follows: |
|||
| (i) | in the case of conversion due to the sale of a vessel in the Non-Core Vessel Group I, the NCV I Loss on that vessel; and |
|||
| (ii) | on the date falling 18 months from the Restructuring Implementation Date, if not all vessels in the Non Core Vessel Group I have been sold and less than NOK 250 million of NCV I Loss has been converted, such amount of the Non-Core Vessels 'Group I' Debt |
| required for the aggregate amount converted to reach NOK 250 million, |
||
|---|---|---|
| with the subscription price per Share upon exercise of each NCV I Warrant to be NOK 0.981 (which equals a conversion rate of 12.7%) (so that the amount of NCV I Loss determines the number of shares that may be subscribed for in total under this clause 3). |
||
| (c) The NCV I Warrants, if not exercised, shall lapse without compensation to the holder at the expiry of the Restructuring Period. |
||
| (d) The NCV I Warrants may be held by a party nominated by and on behalf of the relevant Secured Creditors and shall be transferrable together with the relevant part of debt between the relevant Secured Creditors (but not to any third party). |
||
| (e) Upon exercise of NCV I Warrants by a Secured Creditor pursuant to this clause 3, Sævik shall be entitled to convert such part of the Anti-Dilution Protection Loan required in order for the dilutive effect on the Shares subscribed for by New Equity to be neutralized and consequently securing that Sævik thereafter is holding 51% of the Shares (but subject to any potential dilution pursuant to clause 5 below). |
||
| 4 | Non-Core Vessel Group III Conversion |
The Secured Creditors having financed vessels pertaining to Non Core Vessel Group III shall convert a part of such financing to equity in the Company. The conversion shall be granted by the issue of warrants (the "NCV III Warrants") in the Company with the following terms: |
| (a) The conversion shall occur (by exercise of the NCV III Warrants) upon each completion of a sale of a vessel in the Non-Core Vessel Group III. |
||
| (b) Nothing shall be payable upon subscription of the NCV III Warrants. Upon exercise of the NCV III Warrants each such warrant shall give a right to 1 Share and NOK 0.981 (which equals a conversion rate of 12.7%) shall be payable per Share by conversion of NCV III Loss (so that the amount of NCV III Loss determines the number of shares that may be subscribed for in total under this clause 4). |
||
| (c) The NCV III Warrants, if not exercised, shall lapse without compensation to the holder at the expiry of the day falling 18 months after the Restructuring Implementation Date. |
||
| (d) The NCV III Warrants may be held by a party nominated by and on behalf of the relevant Secured Creditors and shall be transferrable between the relevant Secured Creditors (but not to any third party). |
||
| (e) Upon exercise of NCV III Warrants by a Secured Creditor pursuant to this clause 4, Sævik shall be entitled to convert such part of the Anti-Dilution Protection Loan required in order for the dilutive effect on the Shares subscribed for by New Equity to be neutralized and consequently securing that Sævik thereafter is holding 51% of the Shares (but subject to any potential dilution |
| pursuant to clause 5 below). | ||
|---|---|---|

The Secured Creditors having financed Core Vessels which have been declared as Non-Performing Vessels and which incur a Non Performing Sale Shortfall shall have the right to convert such loss to equity in the Company as follows: (a) The subscription price per Share shall be NOK 0.981 (which equals a conversion rate of 12.7%). The subscription price may only be settled through conversion of the Non Performing Sale Shortfall. (b) Upon a conversion as described in this clause 5, Sævik shall be entitled to convert the Shareholder Loan (in whole |
| or in part) to equity in accordance with Clause 2 (d) above in order to reduce or prevent the dilutive effect of the conversion. |
||
| 6 | Unsecured debt warrants issue |
The Unsecured Creditors shall, in consideration for accepting to be fully repaid in accordance with clause 8 (Cash Offer) below, have a right to subscribe for warrants in the Company (the "Unsecured Debt Warrants"). The Unsecured Debt Warrants shall be issued as follows: |

There shall be no adjustment of the price to be paid for each Share upon exercise of the warrants as a consequence of such equity issue. |
||
| (g) The warrant agreement shall include anti-dilution provisions such as adjustments to deal with |
