**) 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
