Reference is made to Jacktel AS' (the "Company") 4Q 2019 Interim Report dated 13
February 2020, regarding the expiry of Jacktel's firm contract for the
accommodation rig Haven with Equinor at Johan Sverdrup. Since the expiry of the
firm contract on 7 December 2019, Haven has been employed on a lay-up contract
with Equinor at the same field. The lay-up contract expires on 15 April 2020,
and no new contract or firm opportunity for work has been signed for the rig.
The rig is planned to be demobilized to shore during April. 

Following the recent market turbulence including significant drop in oil price
and the expiry of the current contract in April, the Company has decided to
approach the current bondholders in its USD 150 million senior secured bond
issue JACKT02 PRO (ISIN: NO 0010836778) to propose certain changes to the Bond
Terms, in order to secure a sustainable runway up to the end of 2021 allowing
the Company to focus its work on securing new employment for the rig to the
benefit of all stakeholders.

The Company has engaged Pareto Securities AS as financial advisor in connection
with the proposed amendments of the Bond Terms.

Jacktel AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Macro Offshore Ltd, an accommodation
provider with a strong track record in providing safe, efficient and reliable
accommodation services.
