Therefore, OGX celebrated, on the hereby date, a set of agreements including direct or indirect interested parties in the FPSO's charter, among them (a) Atlanta Field B.V. ("AFBV"); (b) QGEP Participações S.A. ("QGEP"); (c) Barra Energia do Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda. ("BE"); (d) OGX Netherlands Holding B.V. ("OGX NL"); and (e) Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. ("Teekay"). The agreements will become effective after the conclusion of certain procedures post-signing.
Among the main unfoldings of the renegotiation for OGX are the establishment of a negotiated solution for the partial amortization of the cash calls owed by OGX in approximately USD 14 million, and the replacement of the originally agreed guarantee with Teekay to cover the charter's obligations, which considered constant deposits in favor of Teekay, through the guarantee granted directly to QGEP and BE through the receivables related to 80% of OGX net result from the sale of oil which was produced in the Atlanta Field through the deposit in a linked account in order to end the assumed obligations of the consortium with Teekay.
The agreements of the renegotiation also establish the reduction of the rate for the FPSO's charter during the initial 18 months of production. After the first 18 months of production, the original daily rate will become effective, and will include a variable component linked to the oil prices, allowing the recovery of the difference by Teekay.
Lastly, as disclosed in previous opportunities, OGX holds a 40% participation in the Atlanta e Oliva Fields (BS-4 Block), in partnership with QGEP (30%) and BE (30%). The development project of the Atlanta Field
production is implementation stage, which the beginning of production is expected for the first quarter of 2018, as reported by QGEP, which is the BS-4 Consortium operator. OGX emphasizes that is employing efforts to sell its stake on BS-4 Block to potential interested parties.
The Companies will keep the shareholders and the market informed of the developments on this matter.
