Cypriot floatel owner Prosafe has completed the first phase of its refinancing with a share sale worth up to $150m.

It planned to issue between $130m and $150m of new shares, but said the transaction was fully subscribed.

The final amount will be determined on the basis of the amount required for the cash-out of bonds under its restructuring programme.

Its two largest shareholders, North Sea Strategic Investments and M&G, bought $85m of the shares.
