Havila Shipping ASA: Information about lenders feedback regarding
settlement of the company’s debt
Reference is made to information related to the company’s debt
most recently in a stock exchange announcement on 01.08.24 and the
2024 Second Quarter report.
The company's lenders had a deadline of 30.09.24 to choose
between
- Settlement as of 31.12.24
- Extension of the agreement by one year until 31.12.25
The final figures for how much debt that shall be settled or
converted into shares will not be clarified until the accounts for
the third quarter are available.
Based on preliminary estimates, interest-bearing debt as of
31.12.24 will amount to NOK 651 million following upwards
adjustments.
Of these, lenders representing MNOK 500 of the amount have
announced that they want settlement as of 31.12.24. This debt
is linked to the vessels
- Havila Fanø
- Havila Clipper
- Havila Borg
- Havila Subsea
Non-interest-bearing debt related to the lenders who want the
debt converted into shares is preliminary estimated at NOK 522
million as of 31.12.24, corresponding to approximately 21.5% of the
company's shares after full conversion.
The preliminary estimates indicate that bondholders in Havi04
(Havila Clipper) will be allocated approximately 0.8% of the
company's shares and bondholders in Havi07 (Havila Subsea)
approximately 7.9% of the possible shares in the company.
The others of these lenders will be allotted approximately 12.8%
of the possibles shares in the company after full debt
conversion.
Lenders representing MNOK 151 of
interest-bearing debt as of 31.12.24 have extended the
restructuring agreement by one year. The lenders have also
extended the agreement for vessels sold earlier. The
interest-bearing debt is linked to the vessels
- Havila Foresight
- Havila Harmony
Non-interest-bearing debt related to the lenders in these
vessels and previously sold vessels is preliminary estimated at
MNOK 617 as of 31.12.24.
The relevant lenders will be allocated shares corresponding to
approximately 25.5% of the company if the shares were issued as of
31.12.24.
Since the agreement has been extended, conversion will only take
place at the end of the extended period which runs until
31.12.25.
The shares will then be allotted, but the number of shares
issued will be reduced in line with the relative downward
adjustment of non-interest-bearing debt through 2025.
Havila Holding AS will, at the same time as other share issues,
convert part of the liquidity loan to the company into shares to
maintain its ownership stake of 50.96%.
The postponement of parts of the conversion to shares that the
extension of the agreement period entails, will result in that the
lenders converting debt as of 31.12.24 will,
based on the preliminary estimates, own approximately 44.8% of
the company's shares until the last conversion at the end of
2025.
The current shareholders, excluding Havila Holding, will own
approximately 4.2% of the shares during this period.
The extension of the agreement means that the subsequent repair
issue is postponed until 2026.
It should be noted that the ownership percentages above are
based on preliminary estimates.
The company has signed a term sheet for the refinancing of the
fleet.
