Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 28 November 2024: Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited ("Seacrest Petroleo" or the "Company") announces that, as part
of its plan to comprehensively restructure the Group's balance sheet and on
the back of the indicative term sheet between the Company and Trafigura
announced on 30 October 2024 , it yesterday signed an indicative term sheet
with Trafigura PTE Ltd ("Trafigura") for a participation of up to US$50
million in a prepayment facility of up to US$140 million but not less than
US$110 million (the "Facility") to be provided by Trafigura and other
sub-participants.
The use of proceeds of the Facility will be limited to payment of the Group's
year-end payment to Petrobras and working capital. The purpose of the Facility
is to provide the Group with a bridge financing that will allow the Company
time to raise additional equity (which may be in the form of an asset deal)
and/or refinance its existing indebtedness.
The Facility will be in the form of a prepayment for cargoes of oil to be sold
by Group companies to Trafigura under an offtake agreement to be entered into
by the parties in conjunction with the Facility. Loans made under the Facility
will mature on 31 December 2025. The Facility and the related offtake
agreement are subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, among
others, participation by other financiers, execution of definitive agreements,
including intercreditor arrangements, management approvals, and third party
consents under other existing agreements.
The term sheet for the Facility supersedes the term sheet for the US$40
million prepayment agreement with Trafigura announced by the Company on 30
October 2024.
