Summons to bondholders' meeting

Summons to bondholders' meeting

Det norske oljeselskap ASA ("DETNOR") today summoned to a bondholders' meeting

in its DETNOR02 bond loan to request certain amendments to the bond agreement.

The proposal to bondholders includes, inter alia, an exchange of the adjusted

equity ratio covenant currently in the bond agreement for a leverage ratio

covenant and interest ratio covenant, to harmonise the financial covenants with

the company's bank facility (RBL) agreement.

As compensation, bondholders are offered a one-time consent fee of 1.00 percent

of the face value of the bonds, increased coupon by 1.50 percent per annum to 3

-month NIBOR plus 6.50 percent per annum. The bondholders are also offered a one

-off option for each bondholder to sell all its bonds back to Det norske at 101

percent of par plus accrued interest.

In connection to this, the company has obtained an unsecured NOK 1.9 billion

revolving credit facility from Nordea. The purpose of the facility is limited to

acquiring bonds under this amendment.

For further information, please see the attached summons to the bondholders'

meeting.
