EMGS: Going Concern & Capital Structure
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by
Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA's (the "Company" or "EMGS") on 5 November 2025
and to the Company's interim financial report for the third quarter of 2025. As
announced, EMGS expects to require additional funding within the near term to
sustain operations, and the Company is evaluating several alternatives to
preserve value for its stakeholders, including restructuring options.
The Company has retained an external advisory firm to support in the ongoing
evaluation of all available options to preserve and maximise value for its
shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Company has interest-bearing debt of USD 19.5 million outstanding under the
convertible bond issue Elec ASA 18/25 FRN USD FLOOR STEP C CONV ("EMGS03").
Based on current activity levels and the Company's outlook, the existing capital
structure is not considered sustainable.
One of the potential options the Company is therefore evaluating, is a partial
or complete conversion of the convertible bonds under EMGS03 into new equity in
the Company. It is expected that any such conversion, if implemented, would be
carried out at or below the current market price of the Company's shares. A full
conversion at or below the current trading price for the Company's shares would
result in significant dilution for existing shareholders.
The Company continues to assess all available strategic and financial
alternatives. Should EMGS elect to pursue a full conversion of the EMGS03 Bonds,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the requisite
consent from a sufficient majority of bondholders to pass the bondholders'
resolution(s) required to effect such conversion. Furthermore, even if a
conversion is successfully completed, there can be no assurance that this alone
will be sufficient to establish a financially sustainable long-term solution for
the Company.
Further updates will be provided as appropriate.

About EMGS
EMGS, the marine EM market leader, uses its proprietary electromagnetic (EM)
technology to support oil and gas companies in their search for offshore
hydrocarbons. EMGS supports each stage in the workflow, from survey design and
data acquisition to processing and interpretation. The Company's services enable
the integration of EM data with seismic and other geophysical and geological
information to give explorationists a clearer and more complete understanding of
the subsurface. This improves exploration efficiency and reduces risks and the
finding costs per barrel. CSEM technology can also be used to detect the
presence of marine mineral deposits (primarily Seabed Massive Sulphides) and in
other offshore construction and exploration activity.
