As previously reported on July 21, 2020, NCL Corporation Ltd. ("NCLC"), a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (the "Company"), issued and sold in a private offering (the "Exchangeable Notes Offering") $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 (the "Exchangeable Notes"). NCLC also granted the initial purchasers in the Exchangeable Notes Offering a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes. On July 30, 2020, the initial purchasers elected to exercise such option with respect to an additional $50.0 million principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes (the "Additional Exchangeable Notes") (the "Greenshoe Exercise"). The Additional Exchangeable Notes were issued on July 31, 2020.

In connection with the Greenshoe Exercise, NCLC received gross proceeds of $50.0 million and net proceeds, after initial purchasers' discounts and before offering expenses, of $48.8 million. NCLC expects to use the net proceeds from the Greenshoe Exercise for general corporate purposes.

NCLC offered and sold the Additional Exchangeable Notes to the initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and for resale by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Additional Exchangeable Notes, the preference shares and the ordinary shares of the Company issuable upon the exchange of preference shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The information set forth under "Exchangeable Notes Indenture" in Item 1.01 included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on July 21, 2020, is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.

Some of the statements, estimates or projections contained in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including, without limitation, those regarding our business strategy, financial position, results of operations, plans, prospects, actions taken or strategies being considered with respect to our liquidity position, valuation and appraisals of our assets and objectives of management for future operations (including those regarding expected fleet additions, our voluntary suspension, our ability to weather the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, operational position, demand for voyages, financing opportunities and extensions, and future cost mitigation and cash conservation efforts and efforts to reduce operating expenses and capital expenditures) are forward-looking statements. Many, but not all, of these statements can be found by looking for words like "expect," "anticipate," "goal," "project," "plan," "believe," "seek," "will," "may," "forecast," "estimate," "intend," "future" and similar words. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those forward-looking statements. Examples of these risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the impact of:

· the spread of epidemics, pandemics and viral outbreaks and specifically, the


   COVID-19 outbreak, including its effect on the ability or desire of people to

   adapt to the current pandemic environment's unique challenges once operations
   resume and to otherwise safely resume our operations when conditions allow;



· coordination and cooperation with the CDC, the federal government and global


   public health authorities to take precautions to protect the health, safety and
   security of guests, crew and the communities visited and the implementation of
   any such precautions;



· the accuracy of any appraisals of our assets as a result of the impact of


   COVID-19 or otherwise;



· our success in reducing operating expenses and capital expenditures and the


   impact of any such reductions;

   reservations and receive deposits related thereto;

   newbuild related payments and other obligations and to work with credit card
   processors to satisfy current or potential future demands for collateral on
   cash advanced from customers relating to future cruises;



· adverse events impacting the security of travel, such as terrorist acts, armed


   conflict and threats thereof, acts of piracy, and other international events;



· adverse incidents involving cruise ships;

· adverse general economic and related factors, such as fluctuating or increasing


   levels of unemployment, underemployment and the volatility of fuel prices,
   declines in the securities and real estate markets, and perceptions of these
   conditions that decrease the level of disposable income of consumers or
   consumer confidence;



· our potential future need for additional financing, which may not be available


   on favorable terms, or at all, and may be dilutive to existing shareholders;



· any further impairment of our trademarks, trade names or goodwill;

· breaches in data security or other disturbances to our information technology


   and other networks or our actual or perceived failure to comply with
   requirements regarding data privacy and protection;



· changes in fuel prices and the type of fuel we are permitted to use and/or


   other cruise operating costs;

   maintenance and refurbishments and the consolidation of qualified shipyard

· the risks and increased costs associated with operating internationally;

· fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

· overcapacity in key markets or globally;

· our expansion into and investments in new markets;

· our inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage;

· our indebtedness and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness


   that require us to maintain minimum levels of liquidity and otherwise limit our
   flexibility in operating our business, including the significant portion of
   assets that are collateral under these agreements;



· pending or threatened litigation, investigations and enforcement actions;

· volatility and disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, which


   may adversely affect our ability to borrow and could increase our counterparty

   contingent obligations, insurance contracts and new ship progress payment
   guarantees;



· our inability to recruit or retain qualified personnel or the loss of key


   personnel or employee relations issues;

   ships and certain other services;



· our inability to keep pace with developments in technology;

· changes involving the tax and environmental regulatory regimes in which we


   operate; and

   for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
   the three months ended March 31, 2020.



Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 outbreak. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown.

The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we expect to operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change of events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement was based, except as required by law.
