**) FOO will acquire its pro rata share (51%) of a shareholder loan of USD 21.3 million, amounting to USD 10.8 million

Dolphin Drilling ASA (DD)

Deconsolidation of DD comes, among other things, as a consequence of:

  • Bonheur has throughout proposed and supported various potential refinancing solutions for DD including contributing significant new capital; however the composition of the secured lenders has prevented implementation
  • The secured lenders of DD have decided to pursue other solutions
  • These solutions have not been in line with Bonheur's strategy and will not cause Bonheur to contribute capital to be a majority shareholder
  • DD debt is non-recourse to Bonheur
  • DD has since the 1970s pioneered offshore drilling and delivered excellent operating performance

▪ Bonheur's investment has since the IPO in 1997 yielded NOK 6.9 billion through dividends and share sale proceeds
