DELAY TO PUBLICATION OF 2023 RESULTS, UPDATE ON RESTRUCTURING AND TRADING UPDATE
Petrofac today announces a delay to its audited full year 2023 results which it now expects to publish by 31 May 2024. The Company also reports the progress made with creditors on its financial restructuring and issues a trading update.

Delay of full year 2023 results and temporary suspension of shares

The Company expects a short delay in issuing its audited full year 2023 results, which it now expects to publish by 31 May 2024. Although the audit is substantially progressed, the Company and its auditor require additional time to complete the annual report. 

As a result, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Disclosure and Transparency Rules and Listing Rules for the publication of audited financial statements, the Company has engaged with the FCA, and trading in the Company’s shares will be temporarily suspended from 7.30 a.m. on 1 May 2024 until its full year 2023 results are published.

Update on Strategic and Financial Options

As part of the Group’s ongoing financial restructuring, an ad-hoc group of senior secured noteholders have made a proposal to provide further credit to the business of up to US$300 million, comprising US$200 million of new funds and US$100 million of credit support to help secure performance guarantees for certain of its existing contracts. This non-binding proposal is dependent upon, amongst other things, the Company securing these performance guarantees, and would require the conversion of a significant proportion of the Group’s existing debt to equity.
