ISIN NO 001 0638158 - FRN Viking Supply Ships A/S Senior Unsecured Open Bond Issue 2012/2017

Oslo, 12 July, 2016

Summons to Bondholders' Meeting

Nordic Trustee ASA ("Bond Trustee") acts as trustee for the holders of bonds (the "Bondholders") in the above mentioned bond issue with ISIN NO 001 0638158 (the "Bonds" or the "Bond Issue") issued by Viking Supply Ships A/S as issuer (the "Issuer" or the "Company"). The Issuer and its subsidiaries are together referred to as the "Group".

The information in this summons regarding the Issuer and market conditions are provided by the Issuer, and the Bond Trustee expressly disclaims all liability whatsoever related to such information.

The Issuer has requested the Bond Trustee to summon a Bondholders' Meeting to consider the approval of the Proposal as further set out and defined under clause 2 below.

BACKGROUND $\mathbf{1}$ .

In addition to this summons letter, the Company has provided a separate presentation which is intended to give background information and an update on the Company's financial and operating status of the Company (the "Company Update"), enclosed as Annex C hereto.

Bondholders are encouraged to read both these documents, in addition to Annex $B -$ the "Restructuring Term Sheet", to obtain an understanding of the proposed Restructuring.

Introduction $1.1$

We refer to the communication from the Company of 4 July 2016, where the Company announced its intention to summon to a Bondholders' meeting to provide an updated status of the Company, as well as present a restructuring proposal to the Bondholders.

The Company has in the past half year been engaged in discussions with its main stakeholders to agree to a restructuring which will allow the Company to survive as a going concern.

There has been contact between the Company and a committee of three core Bondholders (the "Bondholders' Committee"). The Bondholders' Committee has not been willing to engage in dialogue over any option other than cash redemption of the Bonds, and the Bond Trustee has on 22 June 2016 served the Company a default notice and demanded repayment of the bonds.

Such redemption is not possible in light of the Company's liquidity situation and would be incompatible with the requirements of the senior secured lenders.

In the absence of a holistic financial restructuring being speedily implemented, the only realistic outcome is bankruptcy of the Company. The outcome of such proceedings for the Group is highly uncertain. However, the Company has prepared a liquidation analysis which illustrates that the recovery of unsecured creditors in case of a bankruptcy of the Company will be extremely limited.

In an effort to avoid a liquidation of the Company to the detriment of all stakeholders, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to make a final proposal for restructuring to the Bondholders, as per the terms of Annex B (the Restructuring Term Sheet).

Implementation of the restructuring proposal set out in Annex B to this summons requires certain amendments to the bond agreement for the Bond Issue. The Bondholders' meeting is summoned to vote on whether or not to approve the proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bond Issue. The requested changes are summarised in this summons and set out in detail in Annex B (the Restructuring Term Sheet).

$1.2$ Key Terms of the Restructuring

The proposed Restructuring will comprise of (summary of main features only, please refer to Annex B for a complete overview):

  • $\Box$ The Company's bank facilities are extended until 31 March 2020.
  • $\Box$ Contribution from the banks of approximately USD 215 million, including deferral of maturities and amortization schedules.
  • $\Box$ Deferred amortization structure under bank facilities, with fixed quarterly repayments in the amount of USD 750,000 from 2018.
  • $\Box$ In addition to the fixed amortizations under the bank facilities payable from 31 March 2018, there will be a cash sweep mechanism, whereby cash on hand exceeding certain levels shall be distributed as repayment of the bank facilities from 2018. During 2017, the cash sweep amounts have been pre-agreed.
  • $\Box$ Financial covenants on the bank facilities are amended to provide the Company ample room to operate under the present challenging market conditions.
  • $\Box$ Restructuring of the arrangements in respect of the vessel "Odin Viking" to reflect a reduced payment of maximum USD 10,000 per day for a period until 31 May 2024.
  • $\Box$ Removal of put options relating to "Odin Viking".
  • $\Box$ 50% of the Bonds will be converted to new class B shares in the Company's parent company, Viking Supply Ships AB (the "Parent"), listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm segment Small Cap, at a subscription price of SEK 1.50, the Bonds being valued at 36% of par.
  • $\Box$ The remaining 50% of the Bonds to be outstanding under an amended and restated bond agreement, reflecting the terms of the Restructuring as set out in Annex B.
  • $\Box$ Coupon on remaining bonds to be reduced to 6.7% p.a., of which 3.70% is payable in cash and 3.0% is payable in kind.
  • $\Box$ Financial covenants in the Bond Issue to be deleted except for dividend restriction, which shall be amended to be absolute and prevent any distribution to the Parent.

$\Box$ The Company will receive new capital in the amount of minimum USD 17.6 million, including by way of an equity issue in the Parent, of which Kistefos shall guarantee USD 13 million (the "New Capital").

For a full overview of the Restructuring, please see Annex B (the Restructuring Term Sheet) which all bondholders are strongly urged to read in its entirety. If there is any discrepancy between the terms set out in this summons and/or the Company Update in Annex C and Annex B, the terms set out in Annex B will prevail.

BONDHOLDERS' MEETING $\overline{5}$ .

Bondholders are hereby summoned to a joint Bondholders' Meeting for the Bond Issue.

Time: 26 July 2016 at 13:00 hours (Oslo time),
Place: The premises of Nordic Trustee ASA,
Haakon VIIs gt 1, 0161 Oslo - 6 th floor

Agenda:

  • $\mathbf{1}$ . Approval of the summons.
  • $\overline{2}$ . Approval of the agenda.
  • $\overline{3}$ . Election of two persons to co-sign the minutes together with the chairman.
  • $\overline{4}$ . Request for adoption of proposal:

It is proposed that the Bondholders' Meeting resolve the following:

"The Bondholders' Meeting hereby adopts the resolution set out in the Proposal as described in section 2 of the summons to this Bondholders' Meeting."

To approve the above resolution, Bondholders representing at least 2/3 of the Voting Bonds (as defined in the Bond Agreement) represented in person or by proxy at the meeting must vote in favour of the resolution. In order to have a quorum, at least half of the Voting Bonds must be represented at the meeting. If the proposal is not adopted, the Bond Agreement will remain unchanged.

Please find attached a Bondholder's Form from the Securities Depository (VPS), indicating your bondholding at the printing date. The Bondholder's Form will serve as proof of ownership of the Bonds and of the voting rights at the bondholders' meeting. (If the bonds are held in custody - i.e. the owner is not registered directly in the VPS - the custodian must confirm; (i) the owner of the bonds, (ii) the aggregate nominal amount of the bonds and (iii) the account number in VPS on which the bonds are registered.)

The individual bondholder may authorise the Nordic Trustee to vote on its behalf, in which case the Bondholder's Form also serves as a proxy. A duly signed Bondholder's Form, authorising Nordic Trustee to vote, must then be returned to Nordic Trustee in due time before the meeting is scheduled (by scanned e-mail, telefax or post – please see the first page of this letter for further details).

At the Bondholders' Meeting votes may be cast based on bonds held at close of business on the day prior to the date of the Bondholders' Meeting. In the event that Bonds have been transferred to a new owner after the Bondholder's Form was made, the new Bondholder must bring to the Bondholders' Meeting or enclose with the proxy, as the case may be, evidence which the Bond Trustee accepts as sufficient proof of the ownership of the Bonds.

For practical purposes, we request those who intend to attend the bondholders' meeting, either in person or by proxy other than to Nordic Trustee, to notify Nordic Trustee by telephone or by e-mail ([email protected]) within 16:00 hours (4 pm) (Oslo time) the Banking Day before the meeting takes place.

Yours sincerely Nordic Trustee ASA

Agenda

$\bullet$ Restructuring proposal

$\bullet$ Appendix - 1q 2016 earnings

Background

Highly challenging OSV market

  • No recovery expected in the near term due to significant overcapacity
  • Low option cost on the vessels will likely keep the fleet largely intact
  • Prevailing oil price level likely too low to support the activity in the frontier areas seen historically
  • will likely mean increasing oil prices and thereby increasing activity in the frontier areas in the medium term Low E&P investments and deteriorating oil-market balance as well as cost initiatives in the oil service sector
  • crucial for VSS to take advantage of premium rates and utilization Limited vessel newbuilds will position VSS for the expected recovery and uphold the unique position that is

Key principles for the long term solution:

  • Create a sufficiently robust financial platform capable of withstanding the challenging market
  • Sufficiently long runway and balanced proposal capable of securing new risk capital
  • Preserve and protect values for all stakeholders to the extent possible

Key challenges

VSS AB Group result Q1 2016

First quarter

  • Net revenues amounted to MSEK 319 (509).
  • Result before capital costs (EBITDA) amounted to
    MSEK 67 (58).
  • Result before tax amounted to MSEK -39 (113).
  • Result after tax amounted to MSEK -40 (-70).
  • Earnings per share after tax amounted to MSEK-0.2
    (-0.4).

Highlights Q1 2016

Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTS)

  • Achieved average fixture rate January March was USD 68,300 (75,400)
  • Average utilization January March was 56% (71).
  • Three vessels were on term charter contracts during first quarter.
  • In February 2016 Magne Viking was certified according to the IMO Polar Code. The vessel, which is the first
    vessel globally to comply with the code, was approved by DNV GL.

Platform Supply Vessels (PSV)

  • Achieved average fixture rate January March was USD 6,200 (7,500).
    Average utilization January March was 39% (33).
  • Due to a continued weak PSV market VSS A/S decided to lay up the PSVs Sol and Freyja Viking with
    immediate effect in March 2016.

TransAtlantic AB

  • A sales agreement on the small bulk vessels TransAndromeda and TransCapricorn was entered into in Q1,
    which consequently led to write-downs of MSEK 7 during the quarter. The vessels were delivered to their new
    owner in May
  • The reorganization within TA AB continue and the recent sale has further reduced the exposure towards the
    industrial shipping.

Q1 result impacted by a soft market and cost reductions
