BW OFFSHORE: RIGHTS ISSUE RESOLVED AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF TERMS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE

27 June 2016: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement dated 21 June 2016 in which BW Offshore Limited (the "Company") announced that it has received the required consents from all of its lending banks to implement the long-term financial platform for the Company (the "Plan").

• The issued share capital of the Company will be increased by USD 85,598,100 through the issue of 8,559,810,000 new common shares of USD 0.01 each (the "Offer Shares").
• The subscription price is set at NOK 0.10 per Offer Share (the "Subscription Price"), representing a discount of approximately 30.1% to the theoretical price for the shares of the Company following the Rights Issue (TERP) calculated on the basis of the Company's closing share price of NOK 0.68 on 24 June 2016.
• The Rights Issue will result in gross proceeds to the Company of NOK 855,981,000 (USD 100 million).
• The shareholders of the Company as of 28 June 2016 (and being registered as such in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the "VPS") on 30 June 2016 (the "Record Date")) (the "Existing Shareholders"), will be granted transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") in the Rights Issue that, subject to certain limitations based on applicable laws and regulations, provide preferential rights to subscribe for, and be allocated, Offer Shares at the Subscription Price.
• Provided that the delivery of traded shares is made with ordinary T+2 settlement in the VPS, shares that were acquired until and including 28 June 2016 will give the right to receive Subscription Rights, whereas shares that are acquired from and including 29 June 2016 will not give the right to receive Subscription Rights.
• Each Existing Shareholder will be granted 12.48664 Subscription Rights for every existing share in the Company registered as held by such Existing Shareholder on the Record Date. The number of Subscription Rights granted to each Existing Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to certain limitations based on applicable laws and regulations, give the right to subscribe for, and be allocated, one Offer Share in the Rights Issue. Over-subscription and subscription without Subscription Rights will be permitted. Subscription Rights will not be issued in respect of any existing shares held in treasury by the Company.
• The subscription period in the Rights Issue will commence at 09:00 hours (CET) on 1 July 2016 and end at 16:30 hours (CET) on 15 July 2016.
• The Subscription Rights will be listed and tradable on the Oslo Stock Exchange from 09:00 hours (CET) on 1 July 2016 to 16:30 hours (CET) on 13 July 2016 under the ticker code "BWO T".
• The Subscription Rights will have economic value if the Company's shares trade above the Subscription Price during the Subscription Period. The Offer Shares, when issued, will represent 92.6% of the total number of the then issued shares in the Company. Existing Shareholders who do not use their Subscription Rights will accordingly experience a significant dilution of their shareholding in the Company.
• Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period or sold before 13 July 2016 at 16:30 hours (CET) will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
