TGS ASA announces launch of Senior Secured Notes offering

Oslo, Norway (18(th) November 2024) - Following a series of fixed income

investor meetings as previously communicated, TGS ASA ("TGS" or the "Company"),

a global leader in energy data and intelligence, announces the launch of an

offering (the "Offering") of Senior Secured Notes with an expected aggregate

principal amount of $550 million and maturity in 2030 (the "Notes").

In connection with the Offering, the Company also expects to enter into a senior

secured credit facilities agreement, the proceeds from which, together with

proceeds from the Offering and cash on hand, is expected to be used to redeem

the entire outstanding amount of the 13.50% senior secured bonds due 2027 issued

by Petroleum Geo-Services AS (the "2027 Bonds") and to repay the Company's other

existing debt financing. This announcement does not constitute a notice of

redemption under the indenture governing the 2027 Bonds.

In addition to the previously published Company presentation, the Company has

also today published certain pro forma financial information and a refinancing

overview, which can be found on the Company's corporate website.
