GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.

 

BRIEF HISTORY. In spite of the fact that the first records related to the development of the oil and gas sector in Brazil trace back to the imperial times, it was only in the 30’s - and with the creation of Petrobras - that oil exploration and production gained prominence in the country.

 

In 1980, Queiroz Galvão Perfurações SA was founded in Rio de Janeiro.

 

-    the embryo of the Constellation Group and currently named Serviços de Petróleo Constellation S.A.

 

Initially, by providing services to Petrobras, the Constellation Group’s operations were carried out through the leasing of onshore drilling rigs, the so-called onshore rigs, mainly in the North and Northeast of the country.

 

In parallel with the development of the onshore drilling activity, following the new economic moment in Brazil, the Constellation Group developed and internationalized, becoming also engaged in offshore drilling activity, with a strong performance in ultra deep waters.

 

Currently, the Constellation Group holds a total of 17 probes, of which:

 

9 onshore drilling rigs, 4 conventional and 5 helitransportables; and

 

8 offshore drilling rigs, 2 semi-submersible anchors for water slide operation up to 1,100 meters, 3 dynamic positioning for operation in water depths of up to 2,700 meters and 3 drill rig vessels for operation in water depth up to 3,000 meters.

 

The Constellation Group’s outstanding performance also comes from massive investments made by the Debtors. From its foundation to Judicial Reorganization, the Constellation Group invested approximately US$ 5 billion in its business activity.

 

The predominant operational activity of the Constellation Group is through offshore rigs, out of a total of 8, 7 operating in Brazil. These rigs were acquired by the Constellation Group according to the demand of the oil and gas sector in Brazil, in order to serve, as a priority, the prospects undertaken by Petrobras in the country.

 

The Constellation Group is a leader in performance in pre-salt operations due to: (a) its high operational efficiency; (b) real-Time Operations Center (RTOC), which enables remote operations supervision and increased process security through performance monitoring and problem-solving collaboration; (c) extensive experience with operational issues, which include a crew set with the challenges of this operating environment, together with procedures specially developed to assist the drilling activity; and (d) the equipment of the drilling units perfectly adapted to the particularities of the pre-salt area.

 

In addition to exploration of the probes, the Constellation Group also operates in consortia operating Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSOs) for exploration (production), storage of oil and/or natural gas and outflow of production by oil tankers.

 

In short, the Constellation Group is one of the largest business groups in the oil and gas for the provision of services for exploration sector, having been recognized by its clients, the ANP and institutional players. Therefore, the importance of the Debtors is unquestionable, being fundamental their uplift and preservation for the oil and gas industry in the country.

 

CORPORATE AND OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE. The corporate and operational structure of the Constellation Group is represented in the organizational chart in Annex IV to this Plan. Warn of the typical corporate structure of the oil and gas sector, with the parent company abroad controlling specific purpose companies, also abroad, that take financing abroad, acquire probes and charter the client - historically, in the case of the Constellation Group, Petrobras - with the operating company located in the client’s country, where the probes effectively operate, in the case of Brazil.

 

10

 

 

In fact, the corporate organization of the Debtors reflects the concern of the Constellation Group with its administrative, financial and operational efficiency, so all the Debtors have been coordinating business to direct their assets to the excellent performance of services for exploration of oil and gas predominantly in Brazil.

 

REASONS FOR THE CRISIS. Constellation Group’s current financial situation comes from a number of factors, notably: the fall in the price of oil barrel, the crisis in demand in the oil and gas sector, the contracting of financing for the acquisition of drilling units, restrictions to credit for companies in the oil and gas sector, the fall in the rate of remuneration for service and charter contracts, the economic and political scenario in Brazil, the Petrobras Divestment Program, regulatory requirements and the increase in the tax burden.

 

In fact, after the world economic crisis of 2008, which slowed global economic growth, reducing oil consumption, the price of a barrel of oil rose again, costing more than US$ 124.00 in March 2012. The bliss of the sector has stimulated broad access to credit for companies involved in oil exploration - such as those of the Constellation Group -

 

-    as well as, and consequently, fostered all development in the sector, which effectively prepared for an increase in production.

 

It was precisely in this context of growth that the main debts of the Constellation Group were contracted, with the acquisition of several drilling units - financing of the of the Amaralina and Laguna units, for example, started in 2012, and Brava, in 2014, that all other Projects Finance/Bonds to finance other probes were regularly discharged and were in most cases repayable in an accelerated manner to the schedule originally foreseen in such debt instruments due to the operational performance of the probes.

 

Since the second half of 2014, oil barrel prices have been dropping dramatically, without the industry showing a fast recovery.

 

The exogenous factors causing the drop in oil prices are known: (i) the reduction of China’s oil consumption - given its economic slowdown - and other historically demanding countries such as Germany; (ii) the quasi-self-sufficiency of the United States - through the alternative exploration of the so-called “shale oil”; (iii) the greater demand and development of other energy matrices; and (iv) the position of the OPEP countries to maintain high oil production, even in the face of a reduction in consumption, in order to, ultimately, with low prices, render the alternative production of oil and gas unfeasible, notably more expensive - such as that developed in the United States, or in the Brazilian pre-salt.

 

Faced with a lot of supply and reduced demand, the market stationed. The low oil barrel remuneration and uncertainty over projections made credit more restrictive, directly impacting the enforceability of large projects related to oil exploration.

 

Not only that. The service and charter agreements, whose economic and financial equation originally guaranteed the payment of the debts contracted for the manufacture of the drilling units, currently have a daily remuneration rate substantially lower than that which was being practiced. The chart below shows the fluctuations of the rate of remuneration of contracts over time and the dramatic decline in recent years 1:

 

[There appears chart]

 

11

 

 

The abrupt decline after 2014 makes it clear the market oscillation, which directly affects the remuneration rate of contracts. It is not difficult to conclude, therefore, by the imbalance of the economic-financial equation of the operation and, consequently, by the loss borne by the Constellation Group.

 

This scenario adds up to the economic situation in our country. The Constellation Group has its operational activity mainly developed in Brazil, providing services primarily to a Brazilian company, Petrobras. That is, the effects of the crisis in the country resounded unforgivably on the Debtors, historically service providers for Petrobras.

 

For no other reason, the unprecedented crisis has generated difficulties not only for the state- owned parties but, of course, for its entire supply chain.

 

As a result of the crisis, Petrobras, for obvious reasons, interrupted projects, stationed investments and has been contracting more slowly than in the past.

 

If that is not enough, the Constellation Group sustained losses of around US$ 400 million due to unrealized capital contributions by former minority shareholders of Amaralina and Laguna. This forced the Debtors to [there appears footnote with the following content: Source: IHS Petrodata, Arctic Securities, Rystad Energy - April 2018. Free translation of chart title: Ultra Deep Waters by type of probe, 2007-2018 (US Dollars - thousands). withstand these contributions, not only on their behalf, but also on behalf of the former minority shareholder, and assume full responsibility for the operation of the offshore drilling rigs owned by Amaralina and Laguna, in order to ensure the safety of their operations.

 

Therefore, despite the fact that the Debtors are highly recognized companies in the market due to their soundness and their administrative and operational capacity and efficiency, the economic and oil crisis that was established internationally and mainly in the Brazilian territory, brutally affected the cash flow, making necessary for the integral maintenance of its activities, the Restructuring of debts through Judicial Reorganization.

 

PREVIOUS RESTRUCTURING MEASURES ADOPTED. The restructuring process of the Constellation Group began long before Judicial Reorganization was filed. Since the first signs of crisis in the oil and gas sector began to appear, the Constellation Group began intense renegotiation of its debts, notably with the Bonds 2024 Creditors, which resulted in a transaction in July 2017, that originated the Bonds 2024.

 

With the maturity date of its other financial obligations and the need to lengthen maturities approaching, Constellation Group began a broad process of negotiating its debts with its Creditors, which was supported by its advisers, including White & Case LLP, Alvarez & Marsal, Houlihan Lokey, Inc., Ogier and Galdino & Coelho Advogados.

 

The renegotiation process was successful, resulting in the early obtaining of the support of the Supporting Creditors to the reorganization of the Constellation Group. Initially, the consensus of the ALB and Bradesco Creditors was formalized with the signing of an agreement to support the plan, appearing on pages 1.795/1.901, now amended and fully replaced by the Plan Support Agreement. In this way, the Judicial Reorganization was filed on the Request Date, already counting on the support of the ALB and Bradesco Creditors. Following the filing of the Judicial Reorganization, the Debtors continued in a broad process of negotiation with its Creditors, which resulted in the signing of the Plan Support Agreement, with the support of the Supporting Creditors. This broad support, obtained in advance, makes the Judicial Reorganization efficient and agile for the Debtors, the Judicial Administrator, the Creditors, the Court of Judicial Reorganization and for the others involved. Most likely a pioneering process in the country’s courts.

 

12

 

 

In addition, it is important to say that the Debtors have made every possible effort to stabilize their cash; they have adopted, in the last year, (i) adjustments in the annual budgets of their various areas, in view of the current situation; (ii) freezing of spontaneous salary adjustments; (iii) resizing of organizational structures; and (iv) adequacy of the establishment plan.

 

REASONS FOR THE JOINT PLAN. As indicated in the complaint for Judicial Reorganization, the Debtors believe that:

 

in spite of having diverse legal personalities, autonomous assets, proper structures suitable for carrying out their activities (economic substance) and made up mostly of foreign companies, join efforts to enable the development of onshore and offshore rig operations in Brazil.

 

This is very evident through the numerous cross-guarantees and imminent possibility of cross-default, which, in the last analysis, makes it impossible to individually restructure the Debtors.

 

In other words, the Debtors, in all evidence, make up an economic group. Companies that, although legally independent, with legal personalities, operational structures and their own assets, are economically interconnected.

 

Thus, to assume that some of the Constellation Group companies may not be subject to Judicial Reorganization while others are recovering implies ignoring the damaging consequence that would oppose the remaining activity pursuant to the legal and practical complexities that the failure of one of the companies could create, since the upholding of a single Debtors depends on the recovery of the whole Groupo Constellation together.

 

This fact has already been recognized by the Supporting Creditors, representing 71.9% of the insolvency liabilities and, in a segregated way, credit holders representing 75.7% of Class II and 59.2% of Class III of this Judicial Reorganization, which not only recognized the competence of the Brazilian jurisdiction in casu, as well as in the Plan Support Agreement, recorded their agreement with the need for active litigation of the Debtors and for the processing and processing of Judicial Reorganization through substantial consolidation.

 

It also reinforces the adequacy of a joint plan with the means of restructuring foreseen in this Plan, which consider the restructuring of the Constellation Group as a whole and not of the companies individually. The implementation of the restructuring means comprises the economic and financial interconnection, the granting of guarantees by several entities and distribution of new resources, which benefit the entire operation and, again, the business activity carried out in a concerted manner, aiming at a common purpose. These new funds come from New ALB Resources, New Bonds 2024 Resources and New Bradesco Resources and, in relation to the Supporting Creditors, justify different forms of payment.

 

The implementation of the Plan, therefore, confirms the interconnection between the Debtors, before and after the recovery process, substantiating the substantial consolidation as the most adequate and efficient measure to overcome the Constellation Group’s economic and financial crisis and the recovery of the credits of the Bankruptcy Creditors.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan was approved in the form of voluntary consolidation, in accordance with the judicial decisions in force on this date.

 

ECONOMIC AND OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY. The Constellation Group is confident that the liquidity crisis faced is temporary and should not permanently affect the soundness of its activities.

 

Although the oil price per barrel, the oil and gas demand crises overcoming, and recovery from the mismatch in the value of the remuneration rate of the service and charter contracts and financing contracted for the acquisition of drilling units, which were the main factors leading Debtors to request Judicial Reorganization, are not expected to recover in a short term, Debtors trust that the situation is transient.

 

13

 

 

This is because the Debtors are highly qualified and specialized companies and are able to participate in the new scenario of the oil and gas sector in the country, which shall necessarily provide the exploration of pre-salt oil.

 

In addition, Debtors are already being very successful in relation to new businesses. Although the genesis of the Constellation Group is the provision of services to Petrobras and while continuing to participate in the competition processes conducted by the state company, as a way to deal with the crisis in the country, Debtors has entered into agreements with other companies in the sector. Also in 2017, the Constellation Group entered into an international offshore contract with the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, a state-owned Indian oil exploration company, to charter the Olinda Star rig for 3 years. The operation is being developed in one of the deepwater natural gas blocks in the Krishna Godavaria basin, located on the east coast of India.

 

Also in this sense, the Constellation Group has achieved important victories, reflected in new contracts with Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda., Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção S.A. and Total E&P do Brasil Ltda.

 

This fact only highlights that, despite the situation of crisis experienced by the country, the national market has a huge potential demand that can be fulfilled by the Constellation Group, given its reputation in the Brazilian market.

 

In addition, in a global perspective, the future political and economic scenario in Brazil is positive for the oil and gas sector, given the large world demand for energy and, mainly, for the increase forecasted for the price of energy basic products - for 2018, the estimate was an increase of close to 4%2.

 

The table below shows the projections for the next 4 years, consulted in ten different sources and, in all scenarios, the outlook is fortunately positive3:

 

[There appears chart]

 

As if it were not enough, since the beginning of 2017, the Federal Government and the ANP have made several regulatory changes related to the Oil and Natural Gas sector, in order to make the bidding more attractive and, consequently,

 

[There appears footnote with the following content: Last access on 11.09.2018: http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2017/10/26/commodity- prices-likely-to-rise - further-in-2018-world-bank]

 

[There appears footnote with the following content: Free translation of the chart title: Oil price outlook (market premises).

 

stimulate new investments in the pre-salt area, including the accomplishment of a greater number of auctions carried out by the ANP. One positive change was the opening of the market to other companies, which not only Petrobras, allowing other operators to share oil and gas production. The government’s expectation with these changes is that the exploration income shall exceed R$ 100 billion in investment4. In addition, it is well known that the production of oil in the world in non-OPEP countries has been declining at constant rates in recent years. In this sense, the Brazilian pre-salt and the Canadian oil areas are treated as means of compensation of the global decline rates5.

 

In fact, the industry scenario is positive and the demand for offshore rigs for ultradeep water exploration tends to increase for the next few years. In this sense, the Constellation Group’s relevance stands out in the sector, since 6 of its 8 offshore drills are suitable for drilling in ultra-deep waters. The Constellation Group is the leader in operations of this type, having so far worked in more than 120 wells in deep and ultra deep waters, including 95 in Brazilian pre-salt areas.

 

14

 

 

Therefore, it is clear the great interest in stimulating the activities of the Debtors. The Judicial Reorganization shall allow the maintenance of more than 1,200 direct jobs in the country - and so many other indirect ones -, the implementation of measures and operational efficiency and corporate restructuring, allowing the competitive performance in the oil and gas sector of the country - and internationally.

 

There is no doubt that the Constellation Group is completely viable and of great importance for the oil and gas segment, and it is certain that there is total commitment not only to guarantee the best possible performance in the contracts in progress - allowing eventual renewal - but also total commitment in the fierce competition for new contracts.

All these factors lead to the conclusion that the Constellation Group’s Judicial Reorganization is fully possible, which meets the purposes of the LRF. The feasibility of the Plan and the measures provided for it for the Judicial Reorganization of the Constellation Group is confirmed by the Reports, subscribed by a specialized company, according to article 53, item II and item III of the LRF, which are included in Annexes G of the Plan Support Agreement.
