Blue Ocean GEOS MI LLC ("Blue Ocean") has entered into a binding share purchase
agreement ("the Transaction") to acquire 195,796,161 shares of Golden Energy
Offshore Services AS ("GEOS") common stock, representing 39.03% of the issued
share capital, from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.
("Oaktree"), for a total consideration of USD 39,500,000. The Transaction is
expected to be completed by 16 May 2024. Upon completion of the Transaction,
Blue Ocean will become the largest shareholder of GEOS.
Per-Ivar Fagervoll, CEO of GEOS commented: "In a short time, GEOS has become a
modern offshore company, with a young and environmentally friendly fleet.
Together with Blue Ocean and our other shareholders, we will build on the
foundation that has been laid with our partners at Oaktree to drive further
value creation.
Oaktree has been a lender to GEOS since July 2022 and an equity owner since
August 2023, becoming the largest shareholder of the company. GEOS has undergone
transformational growth during this period, acquiring four sister platform
supply vessels ("PSVs") and doubling its fleet size.
Fredrik Ulstein, Senior Vice President at Oaktree and Chairman of GEOS,
commented:
"Since partnering with GEOS in July 2022, we have worked closely with management
to revitalize the company and solidify its position as a preferred owner and
operator of high-specification PSVs. With its strong fleet, robust customer
base, and solid financial foundation, GEOS is now well-positioned to capitalize
on market opportunities and generate sustainable returns for its shareholders.
We thank management and the Board for their strong partnership and look forward
to continuing supporting the company as a lender."
