SEVAN MARINE ASA: Logitel Offshore
We refer to the Q2 2016 earnings release of Teekay
Offshore Partners ("Teekay") on August, 04 2016 and
the announcement of the cancellation of the shipyard
contracts for the two remaining Logitel Offshore units.
We also refer to Sevan Marine's press release of May
23, 2016 and comments made regarding the circumstances
surrounding the legality and potential claims in
relation to the Logitel Offshore Agreements.
Sevan Marine continues to believe that substantial
claims may be made against the parties involved and
Sevan Marine is dedicated to seeking the best outcome
for the Company and its shareholders. Sevan Marine
will continue to evaluate alternatives.
The outcome of this situation and any potential
recovery of value remains uncertain. As such, there
remains material uncertainty regarding both the amount
and timing of any payments in relation to the Logitel
agreements. In accordance with IFRS accounting
standards and based on the cancellation of the
shipyard contracts, Sevan Marine will record a further
non-cash impairment of USD 13 million in relation to
Logitel as per June 30, 2016. Sevan Marine will do its
utmost to realize the underlying merits and outperform
the impairments taken over the coming months.
Sevan Marine expects to be in position to provide a
further update on this matter in connection with its
Q2 2016 earnings release on Wednesday, August 24, 2016.
