On 11 March 2009 a bondholder meeting was arranged in each of two bond loans of Petromena ASA with ISIN NO 001031608.6 (NOKm 2,000 Loan) and ISIN NO 001039578.3 (USDm 264 Loan) and the loan of Petrorig III Pte Ltd with ISIN NO 001039578.3 (NOKm 1,600 Loan) (together the "Loans").

The bondholders' meetings in the NOKm 2,000 Loan and the USDm 264 Loan voted in favor of the proposal.

For the NOKm 1,600 Loan, the proposal, including extending the USDm 50 equity injection into Petrorig III Pte Ltd until December 2009, was not approved.
