In 2013, the Group issued a £155 million retail bond and in 2014, the Group issued a $650 million high yield bond.

In 2016, both the retail bond and the high yield bond were amended pursuant to a scheme of arrangement whereby all existing notes were exchanged for new notes.

• Cash interest will only be payable if the ‘Cash Payment Condition’ is satisfied, with this being the average of Daily Brent Oil Prices being $65/bbl or greater over the  six month period preceding the ‘Cash Payment Determination Date’ 
• The cash Payment Condition Determination Date is the date falling one month prior to the relevant interest payment date
• If the ‘Cash Payment Condition’ is not satisfied, interest will not be paid in cash but instead be capitalised and satisfied through the issue of additional notes
• Under the existing terms of the Retail Notes, the maturity date was automatically extended to 15 October 2023 (from 15 April 2022) as EnQuest's senior credit facility had not been repaid or refinanced in full by 15 October 2020. Similarly, under the existing terms of the High Yield Notes, the maturity date was automatically extended to 15 October 2023 (from 15 April 2022) as the senior credit facility had not been repaid or refinanced by 30 October 2020.

The 9.00% 2027 GBP Retail bond was issued through an exchange and cash offer.

The offer completed on 20 April 2022, and settled on 27 April 2022, with a principal of £133.3 million generated via £54.0 million of new cash inflows, and £79.3 million of existing 7.00% bonds being exchanged for the new bond.
