Havila Kystruten AS (“HKY” or the “Company”) has entered into an amendment agreement regarding its existing secured bond.
Under the amended terms, the bond maturity has been extended by six months from July 2026 to January 2027. To support HKY’s ability to explore new financing options in the near term, the Company has agreed to settle the call premium applicable through January 2026. This provides HKY with greater flexibility and time to secure long-term financing alternatives.
As part of the revised agreement, the interest rate will be reduced to 6.5% for the first five months of the extension, after which it will revert to the original rate. The bond may also be repaid without a call premium during this initial period. A typical call structure becomes effective after this period, and at year-end, the premium is 101.5. The new principal amount following the refinancing is MEUR 326, including fees, accrued interest and the call premium on the original bond.
Financial covenants have also been adjusted to reflect HKY’s current operational ramp-up. These covenants were originally set during an early phase with limited performance history, which imposed certain constraints. The revised terms now offer more headroom relative to the Company’s projections, enhancing financial flexibility as operations continue to scale.
HKY, in collaboration with its financial advisors, is actively evaluating a range of long-term financing solutions. These efforts, subject to market conditions, aim to position the Company for growth in the upcoming tender process to be launched by the Norwegian Government for the next concession period.
