London (ots/PRNewswire) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN, OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN
WHICH OFFERS OR SALES WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW

With approval of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board of
Sequa Petroleum N.V. has resolved to launch the offering of a
convertible bond of up to U.S.$300 million maturing in April 2020
(the "Bonds"). The Bonds, which will be issued at par, are expected
to be convertible into up to approximately 85.7 million new Sequa
Petroleum N.V. ordinary shares, representing up to approximately 30%
of the ordinary shares of Sequa Petroleum N.V. following conversion
in full of the Bonds.

Proceeds from the offering will allow the Sequa Petroleum group to
finance its acquisition activities as well as being used for its
general financing and corporate purposes.

The coupon (which will be payable semi-annually in arrear) will be
determined via an accelerated bookbuilding process currently expected
to take place on 21 and 22 April 2015, the results of which are
expected to be announced on no later than 23 April 2015. The initial
conversion price will be U.S.$3.50 per ordinary share. The conversion
price will be subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued by Sequa
Petroleum N.V. and are intended to be listed on the Cayman Islands
Stock Exchange on or before the first interest payment date in
respect of the Bonds.

The repayment obligation under an existing shareholder loan (drawn
down in an amount of approximately U.S.$126 million with
approximately U.S.$3 million of accrued interest) will be settled by
issuing Bonds in exchange for that loan on a dollar for dollar basis,
free of payment.

The remainder of the Bonds will be offered to third party
investors outside the United States.

Anoa Capital S.A. is acting as Sole Global Coordinator, and,
together with ADS Securities LLC, Abu Dhabi, as Joint Bookrunner.

In addition, Sapinda Asia Limited, an existing shareholder of
Sequa Petroleum N.V. has entered into a commitment, subject to
regulatory approvals, to subscribe for up to U.S.$62.5 million of
additional ordinary shares in Sequa Petroleum N.V. during 2015.

This notice is not an offer for sale or a solicitation of an offer
to purchase Bonds or any other security of Sequa Petroleum N.V.
