Final Amount of the New Senior Notes

 

London, 29 May 2015

Afren plc ("Afren", the "Company" or the "Group"), (LSE: AFR) announces that, further to its announcement of 30 April 2015, holders of the Company's 2016 Notes, 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes have agreed to subscribe for further New Senior Notes up to the maximum level permitted of US$369 million. This will result in the Group receiving an additional US$93 million in net cash proceeds compared to the amount announced on 30 April 2015. The proceeds from the New Senior Notes will be used to re-finance the interim funding announced on 13 March 2015, fund the development of the Group's core producing assets and for general working capital purposes. The additional net cash proceeds will also be applied to provide additional working capital and fund lower risk developments with strong return potential.

The increase in the size of the New Senior Notes will not result in any additional dilution to shareholders under the recapitalisation as compared to the position announced on 13 March 2015.

Further details regarding the recapitalisation will be announced in due course.
