Prosafe SE: Third quarter 2021 results

Prosafe SE: Third quarter 2021 results

(Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period of 2020)

EBITDA for the third quarter was USD 12.5 million (USD 1.2 million negative),

reflecting a high activity level with a fleet utilization rate of 70.9 per cent

(16.4 per cent). The liquidity reserve was USD 107.1 million at the end of the

quarter. Several contract extensions and two new contracts were secured.

As informed in previous press releases, the financial restructuring process is

on track with formal support from all lenders. The Extraordinary General Meeting

approved the solution on 27 September 2021 and the Singapore scheme was

sanctioned on 18 October 2021. The Norwegian reconstruction process is underway,

and the Company anticipates that the overall process will be completed before or

around year-end 2021. Upon completion, this transaction will result in a

significant de-leveraging of the balance sheet with approximately 75 per cent of

debt reduction, debt service based on cash sweep and a more robust financial

situation. Post implementation, existing banks/creditors will own 99 per cent of

the equity and current shareholders will own 1 per cent of the equity.
