DFDS’ OFFER FOR CHANNEL FERRIES ACCEPTED BY EUROTUNNEL


Copenhagen, 2015-06-22 08:58 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Announcement no. 51

 

 

We have now received confirmation that Eurotunnel has accepted DFDS’ offer for the ferries Rodin and Berlioz.

From 2 July 2015, DFDS has entered into longterm bareboat charter agreements for the two ships. In addition, a put option agreement has been entered into that provides Eurotunnel with the right to require DFDS to purchase the ships. The put option agreement expires at the latest in mid-2017.

Eurotunnel can exercise the put option on terms agreed between the parties, including a price reduction equal to any charter payments made before an exercise of the put option.

In addition, the administrators of the SCOP-SeaFrance have launched a sales process of all or parts of the SCOP-SeaFrance and DFDS will constructively participate in this process.

Neither the bareboat charter agreements, nor the put option agreement, entail changes to DFDS’ previously announced outlook for earnings in 2015.
