However, the company’s discussions with its lenders remain constructive and the efforts to create and agree a long-term financial solution continue. Pending conclusions of these discussions, Prosafe has agreed an extension to the forbearance from the non-payments and defaults with a majority of its lenders across its USD 1,300 million and USD 288 million facilities until 31 May 2020.As part of this, the company will continue to defer making payments of scheduled instalments and interests under both facilities. Similarly, payment of the final instalment owed and due under the seller credit to Cosco for the Safe Notos remains as reported on 13 February subject to ongoing discussions with Cosco and the lenders.The forbearance shows support for the company to continue to operate, while lenders reserve their rights, and secures stability for the company while it continues to work with the lenders to agree on a long term financial solution. Pending this, the company continues to operate on a business as usual basis to protect and create value through challenging market conditions.Further information will be provided in due course.Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation vessels.
