Sequa Petroleum N.V. Bonds Update – 14 November 2018

Further to its previous press releases (14 November 2016, 17 March, 15 May and 14 November 2017, and 15 May 2018), Sequa Petroleum N.V. (the “Company”) notes that a further potential default has occurred under the Company’s USD 300,000,000 5.00 per cent Convertible Bonds due 2020 of which USD 204,400,000 in principal amount remain outstanding (ISIN: XS1220076779, SEQ01 PRO EC) issued by the Company in April 2015 (the “Bonds”). The potential default is failure to pay $5.11M interest under article 10 (a) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds in respect of the interest period to 31 October 2018 and the failure to remedy this potential default within 14 calendar days from that date.

The Company continues to progress high quality acquisition targets of production and development assets that are expected to be value-accretive to its Bondholders and Shareholders in case the Company’s Bond debt is restructured. The Company is closely monitoring the situation and exploring potential solutions. Further announcements will be made if and when appropriate.
