Solstad Offshore's (SOFF) subsidiary Normand Maximus AS, as the charterer, entered into a bareboat charterparty (BBCP) for the CSV Normand Maximus in October 2022 with Maximus Shipping AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solstad Maritime (SOMA), the vessel's owners.

Pursuant to the BBCP, Normand Maximus AS is entitled to purchase the 2016-built vessel after five years of chartering, in October 2027, with 12 months' advance notice for a purchase price of $125 million.

Today, October 6, Normand Maximus AS declared the purchase option for Normand Maximus and will acquire the CSV next October.

The BBCP will terminate once the vessel is delivered.
