Prosafe SE: Update on financial situation and process with lenders
Prosafe refers to the information on its financial status and process with
lenders that was provided in the Q4 2019 report published on 6 February 2020, as
well as previous update on lender discussions provided on 14 January 2020 and
13 February 2020.
The previously reported temporary payment deferrals and waivers of certain
identified defaults under the company's USD 1,300 million and USD 288 million
facilities have now expired. However, the company's discussions with its lenders
remain constructive and the efforts to create and agree a long-term solution and
runway continue. Pending conclusions of these discussions, Prosafe has today
agreed a forbearance from the non-payments and defaults from a majority of its
lenders across its two loan facilities. The forbearance has initially been
granted for a period until 15 April 2020, but can be extended by the lenders by
a by simplified process.
As part of this, the company will continue to defer making payments of scheduled
instalments and interests under both facilities. Similarly, payment of the final
instalment owed and due under the seller credit to Cosco for the Safe Notos,
remains as reported on 13 February subject to ongoing discussions with Cosco and
the lenders.
The forbearance shows support for the company to continue to operate, while
lenders reserve their rights, and secures stability for the company while it
continues to work with the lenders to agree on a long term financial solution.
Pending this, the company continues to operate on a business as usual basis to
protect and create value through challenging market conditions.
Further information will be provided in due course.
Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation
vessels. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS.
