THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION
HIGH COURT SANCTIONS
FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING PLAN
Petrofac announces that it has received formal approval from the High
Court of England and Wales to implement its Restructuring Plan.
With the overwhelming support of shareholders and the majority of creditor
classes, the hearing to sanction the Restructuring Plan took place from 30
April to 2 May 2025. The judgement handed down by the High Court today
authorises the implementation of the Restructuring Plan which, when
effected, will unlock US$355 million of new funding and significantly
reduce the Group’s indebtedness, materially strengthening its financial
position.
The Court of Appeal has reserved 2 to 4 June 2025 to review an existing
appeal of the convening order, brought by certain creditors connected with
the Thai Oil project. Any appeal of the sanction order is expected to be
heard at the same time.
Chair of the Board René Medori said: “This is a very positive step forward
for Petrofac. Together with the support displayed by shareholders,
lenders, investors and key clients, the High Court’s sanctioning of the
Restructuring Plan confirms it is the best path forward, and follows
enormous efforts to develop and implement it over the last 18 months.
“The wider Board and I are conscious of the demands this process has
placed on all the Group’s stakeholders. I would once again like to thank
everyone connected with Petrofac for coming together to deliver these
stronger foundations for the future.
“Having joined Petrofac for a limited period to support engagement with
stakeholders during this process, Aidan de Brunner will leave the Board
with our gratitude on 31 May 2025.”
Group Chief Executive, Tareq Kawash said: “The sanctioning of the
Restructuring Plan marks a significant milestone for our Group.
Implementation of the Plan will allow our talented team, clients,
suppliers, shareholders and investors, to move forward with renewed
confidence, bolstered by a sustainable financial platform, a robust
backlog of existing contracts, and a healthy pipeline of future
opportunities.”
