(the “Company” or “OET”) (Oslo Bors: OET) today announced the closing of a new $113 million senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) provided by ABN AMRO BANK N.V., to refinance existing indebtedness at significantly improved terms, in line with the Company’s strategy towards capital structure optimization.

The Facility is repaid quarterly, matures in 5 years, is priced at 190 basis points above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and will be secured by the Nissos Keros, the Kimolos and the Folegandros. The pricing is not further adjusted by the historical Credit Adjustment Spread (“CAS”) of 26 basis points, translating to a US Libor-based credit spread equivalent of 164 basis points.
