Insurance claim
SBM Offshore has settled its insurance claim related to the Yme project. The agreement now reached with remaining insurers
of the project follows partial settlements announced on 17 July 2017, 11 August 2017 and 9 August 2018. Including the prior
settlements, SBM Offshore’s insurance recoveries related to the Yme project represent a total amount of almost US$390 million,
which includes a final increment of $48.5 million. After reimbursement of the significant claim-related expenses and legal
fees, the remaining amount of the insurance recoveries will be shared equally between SBM Offshore and Repsol. As a result
of this settlement the litigation against insurers and the associated trial will end.
