Last changed: Wednesday, February 14, 2024 7:06 AM

Hurtigruten Group AS (the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed, with a group of holders of the €50m 11.00% senior unsecured notes with ticker HUGR01 ESG (the “SUNs”) representing greater than 70% of the total existing SUNs, a proposed transaction to amend and restate the SUNs into new senior secured bonds in a principal amount of EUR 50,000,000 (plus accrued unpaid interest and any consent fees) to rank pari passu with the new holdco facility and issued by new parent of the Company (the “Holdco”) subject to an agreed waterfall of payments (the “SUN Exchange”). The SUN Exchange will be implemented alongside the wider recapitalisation Transaction (see previous announcement here) and the Lock-up Agreement (as described in the announcement) has been amended to reflect the agreed terms of the SUN Exchange. The Company will continue to work with its senior lenders, shareholders and the bond trustee under the SUNs to implement the Transaction.

Bookings Update

The Group is part way through in a key selling window with overall positive booking momentum in most markets driven by the strategic changes made by the Group. As of 29 January 2024, Hurtigruten and HX had EUR 378 million in pre-booked revenue for 2024.
