Prosafe SE: Conversion of bonds and issuance of new class A shares

Prosafe SE: Conversion of bonds and issuance of new class A shares

Reference is made to previous announcements concerning the refinancing (the

"Refinancing") of Prosafe SE ("Prosafe" or the "Company") as announced on 7 July

2016, and latest the announcement of 15 September 2016.

In accordance with the timetable for the Refinancing, the Company has issued

1,400,839,757 new class A shares as part of the conversion of senior unsecured

bonds to shares pursuant to the Refinancing terms. The conversion is completed

in VPS today.

Following this, the Company has 6,037,010,116 shares outstanding, consisting of

259,570,359 ordinary shares and 5,777,439,757 Class A shares. The lower of

number of class A shares compared to previous announcements, is due to standard

VPS rounding in connection with the bond conversion. Pending completion of the

capital reduction (as described in the Refinancing terms), the ordinary shares

will have a nominal value of EUR 0.25 each. The Class A Shares have a nominal

value of EUR 0.001 each. Following completion of the capital reduction, all

shares will have nominal value of EUR 0.001 each. All shares have equal rights

in all respects, save for the rights of conversion of the Class A shares into

ordinary shares.

The class A shares issued as part of the Refinancing, i.e. the shares issued

through the private placement and the bond conversion, will today be listed on

the Norwegian OTC list (N-OTC).

The timetable for the remaining Refinancing completion is now as follows:
