Update on financial situation

  • The process with the lenders to agree a sustainable financial solution is constructive and progressing while lenders reserve their rights. Although it is too early to say what a final solution may look like, it is anticipated that there will be a significant equalization of debt which is likely to result in minimal or no recovery for current shareholders.
  • While the process is ongoing, 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 first time reported on 13 February subject to ongoing discussions with lenders
  • Pending outcome of the process, the company continues to operate on a business as usual basis to protect and create value through challenging market conditions
  • Prosafe aims to complete the refinancing process by end of 2020 and will revert with further information in due course

Operating expenses in Q3 2020 were significantly lower
compared to the same quarter last year, not only driven by
lower activity, but also by cost initiatives. For example:

Operating CPD: 2020 costs were approx. 20% lower
than in 2019

Off-hire CPD: 2020 costs were 30-40% lower than in
2019

SG&A: 2020 level excl. one-offs was approx. 30%
lower than in 2019
Lower depreciation due to the lower carrying value of
assets following the impairments in Q3 2019 and Q1 2020
