Premier Oil plc
("Premier" or the "Group")
Statement re press speculation
15 September 2020
On 20 August 2020, Premier announced that it had agreed a heads
of terms for a long term refinancing of the Group's debt facilities
with a subset of its creditors representing over 45 per cent of the
Group's debt facilities. The proposed refinancing remains subject
to a number of matters, including creditor approval, which is
progressing, shareholder approval and a minimum $325 million equity
raise.
Premier notes this afternoon's press speculation and confirms
that it has been in discussions with a number of third parties,
including Chrysaor, regarding alternative forms of transactions to
secure the long term refinancing of the Group's debt facilities. To
date, terms of the transactions discussed do not, in Premier's
opinion, provide better outcomes for either its shareholders or
creditors than those proposed under the heads of terms announced on
20 August 2020.
Discussions on such transactions continue to be explored, in the
best interests of all of Premier's stakeholders, but there can be
no certainty that these discussions will reach agreement.
