Atlantic Petroleum signs Heads of Terms for a Bridge loan facility and a Standstill
Atlantic Petroleum signs Heads of Terms for a Bridge loan facility and a Standstill
Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, 2019-06-26 21:20GMT (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- P/F Atlantic
Petroleum (NASDAQ Copenhagen: ATLA DKK & Oslo Stock Exchange: ATLA NOK) today
announces that it has entered into Head of Terms on a unsecured Bridge loan
facility for up to DKK 5 million from one of the shareholders and Head of Terms
on a standstill agreement with LOG.
The Bridge Loan facility
The Heads of Terms state that in principle and subject to approval from its
board, one of the shareholders is prepared to inject funds into P/F Atlantic
Petroleum of up to DKK 5 million subject to the negotiation and execution of a
legally binding agreement.
The Standstill
In support of the Bridge Loan and the Company's general refinancing efforts,
London Oil and Gas Limited (LOG) are prepared to enter a Standstill Agreement,
for a period of 6-month. LOG will retain the right to convert the existing
Convertible Loan Facility at the agreed strike price during the period of the
Standstill. Atlantic Petroleum and LOG entered Heads of Terms on 26th June 2019
which are subject to final approval of a legally binding agreement.
The terms of the LOG facility are restrictive on the Company's ability to seek
alternate funding. However, this restriction has been lifted by LOG's
administrators and they continue to be supportive of working toward a common
goal of restructuring the company's debt.
As a condition of the Standstill Agreement, LOG has been given the right to a
Board Observer. The LOG observer will not be entitled to any fees or voting
rights.
Henrik Olesen, Chairman of Atlantic Petroleum said:
"We look forward to negotiating the details of the proposed transaction, and to
working on resolving the creditor issues which are necessary to resolve to make
a successful outcome possible.
This Bridge loan will allow Atlantic Petroleum to manage its day to day working
capital needs until the first payments of Orlando are received, at which point
Atlantic Petroleum expects to secure a more sustainable capital structure to
preserve value for its shareholders, including a new debt restructuring.
Given the Groups current financial position, we think that a solution, as
proposed is the best way forward for Atlantic Petroleum, and its stakeholders."
