Preparing and acting in the challenging market
| Waiver request approved from lenders |
Minimum market value covenant waiver obtained from banks in December 2016 Net debt/EBITDA and EBITDA/net interest expenses covenant waiver obtained from banks and bondholders in FOE05 Waiver duration until 30 June 2018 |
|---|---|
| Rationale | Market values of the fleet decreased sharply during 2016 Potential breach of the two EBITDA related covenants during 2017 The waiver provides the company operational and financial flexibility and preserves optionality for all stakeholders |
| Repayments completed |
Prepayment of two instalments of USD 95.5 million each paid in December 2016 No instalments during 2017 Partial redemption of FOE05 of NOK 75 million completed early February 2017 |
| High focus on cost-cutting and cash discipline |
Fred. Olsen Energy has prepared its organisation for a market downturn since 2014 Successful cost reductions both onshore and offshore Lay-up costs significantly reduced Limited committed investments |
