Subsea AS on 22 June 2022 and 21 October 2022 regarding the execution of an
agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement") with a substantial group of the DOF
group's financial creditors and certain other stakeholders on a comprehensive
financial restructuring (the "Restructuring"), and the announcements on 1 and 2
February 2023 regarding the bankruptcy proceedings in the Company opened by
Hordaland district court, and the agreement between financial creditors and the
bankruptcy estate, facilitating that the Company's subsidiaries will remain
unaffected by the bankruptcy.
The Restructuring was today completed in accordance with the Restructuring
Agreement and the financial creditors of the DOF group have thereby acquired

process of being converted to a public limited liability company), which is the
new holding company in the DOF group. Following the completion of the
Restructuring, the Company has no longer any ownership to the companies within
