Norske Skog Meaningful progress with holders of the NSF facility and the Perpetual Notes

Norske Skog has over the last few days made meaningful progress with the holders of the EUR 100 million NSF facility and the majority holder of the 2115 Perpetual Notes towards find a mutual acceptable solution where these financial instruments are included in the consensual recapitalization of the Norske Skog group. If a solution is achieved, Norske Skog will have received indicative support from the requisite majority of all relevant financial instruments in the Norske Skog capital structure. Due to the need to include a solution for the NSF facility and the Perpetual Notes in the overall recapitalization proposal, a new consent solicitation to the secured and unsecured noteholders will need to be launched. It is not anticipated that the updated consent solicitation will include any material changes to the terms set out in the current consent solicitation statement. As a new consent solicitation will have to be launched, the current consent solicitation will not be extended and will therefore expire on 3 November 2017 at 17:00 CET.
