Prosafe SE: Update on financial situation, process with lenders and merger with Floatel
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.
The discussions with its lenders continue and remain constructive. Pending
conclusions, Prosafe has received consent from all lenders to further defer
payments of scheduled instalments and interests under both its USD 288 million
and USD 1,300 million facilities until 31 March 2020. The temporary waivers for
certain other identified defaults in the period have also been similarly
extended. Payment of the final instalment owed and due under the seller credit
to Cosco for the Safe Notos, remains as reported on 14 January 2020 subject to
ongoing discussions with Cosco and the lenders.
The above unanimous deferrals and waivers provide 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.
Discontinuation of merger with Floatel International
Prosafe and Floatel International have mutually decided to discontinue the
merger process due to financial uncertainty and process risk. The regrettable
conclusion is that any near term completion of a value enhancing merger is
unlikely.
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.
