PETROFAC CURES
CONTRACT DEFAULT AND
ANNOUNCES
EXTENSION TO FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
Agreement with
key EPC customer
Petrofac today announces that it
has reached an alternative agreement with a key customer with
respect to the performance guarantee requirements under that
contract.
The agreement cures the default
notice received from that customer, which required a performance
guarantee to be posted by 16 June 2024, as outlined in the
company’s 2023 accounts.
The Company continues to require
performance guarantees for certain of its other recently awarded
contracts. Further announcements will be made as
appropriate.
Forbearance
agreement with noteholders
The Group has extended its existing
forbearance agreement in respect of the non-payment of the interest
coupon on its senior secured notes from 25 July to 23 August
2024.
The forbearance agreement is
entered into by an ad hoc group of noteholders representing
approximately 47% of the outstanding senior secured notes and
certain other acceding noteholders. It provides assurance that
these noteholders will not take any action in respect of the
non-payment of the coupon until at least 23 August 2024, providing
additional time for the Group’s financial restructuring to be
progressed.
Further announcements will be made
as appropriate.
