Petraco

On 12 April 2010 the Company reached an agreement (subsequently amended on 18 November 2010) with Petraco relating to the restructuring of the Petraco facility (the "Restructuring Agreement"). The principal terms of the Restructuring Agreement are as follows:

Total indebtedness owed by the Company to Petraco, as at 31 March 2010, was $34.3 million, made up as follows:

   -       capital amount outstanding (the "Capital Outstanding") of US$30.7 million; and 
   -       accrued interest outstanding (the "Accrued Interest") of US$3.6 million. 

As at 1 April 2010, the Capital Outstanding and Accrued Interest were added together and carried forward as principal ("Principal"). After 1 April 2010 interest was accrued on the Principal and was not compounded. All accrued interest from 1 April 2010 was paid once the Principal has been repaid and all payments made by the Company according to the payment schedule set out below was applied against the Principal outstanding. Interest will be charged on the Principal at a rate of 6 month LIBOR plus 5% per annum, non-compounding.

As part of the restructuring agreement the Company converted US$2 million of the Capital Outstanding into 8,693,006 ordinary shares of the Company (recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity) and gave an option to Petraco to acquire additional new ordinary shares in the amount of 12,576,688 for GBP 0.26 per share. The fair value of the option is not material. This option is considered as non dilutive instrument.

In June 2010 the Company pledged 100% of the shares it currently holds in Arcticneft and 97.2% of shares it currently holds in Petrosakh to Petraco as security against the restructured Petraco facility. In August 2012 Petraco released its charge over the shares of Petrosakh in full.

Outstanding interest US$3.0 million is repayable on 31 December 2013 (as amended on 18 November 2010).

In June 2013 the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with Petraco under which Petraco will advance the sum up to US$7.0 million. The key terms of the loan are that:

- it is repayable immediately following the loading of the next tanker shipment, scheduled for Autumn 2013 or 30 November 2013 (whichever is earlier);

- interest is chargeable at the rate of 5% over LIBOR until the date of the bill of lading of the tanker at which point it reduces to 2% over LIBOR; and

- it is included in Petraco's existing security over CJSC Arcticneft, further details of which appear in the Company's announcement dated 12 April 2010.

Weighted average interest rate

The Group's weighted average interest rates on borrowings were 5.5% and 5.5% at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, respectively.
