Halbesma Family Nods to Oceanteam Refinancing Plan

Oceanteam has reached an agreement with its founders, the Halbesma family, to support the proposed refinancing plan of the company.

The plan will be voted upon as part of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on April 13, 2018, the company informed.

The news came shortly after Oceanteam announced that it has secured support for its restructuring from the former CEO of Seafox, Keesjan Cordia.

Cordia, who agreed to commit NOK 20 million in shareholders’ equity, will also strengthen Oceanteam’s board of directors, the company noted earlier this week.

Diederik Legger, board member of Oceanteam said: “I am glad that the Halbesma family supports the refinancing plan for Oceanteam, the company that they have founded more than 10 years ago, enabling it to continue operations. The refinancing plan has proven to be the alternative to secure continuation of company’s business and has a broad support by the various stakeholders of the company.”
