Following completion of the Sale and subsequent payment of the extraordinary dividend on 16 October 2026, the Company has closed down its previous operations and entered a new phase focused on realization of the Group’s remaining assets and evaluating strategic alternatives. Against this background, the Company today announces that Svend Anton Maier will step down from his position as CEO of the Group. Mr. Maier has served as CEO since March 2021, leading the Company from its admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo in May 2021, through the bareboat chartering of the drillship to Saipem and, most recently, the completion of the Sale and subsequent return of capital to the Company’s shareholders.
Mr. Maier will serve his contractual notice period of three months and will continue in his position as Chief Executive Officer until 31 January 2027. Following his departure, he will focus on the further development of his new venture, Pelago Management, which provides project management, technical advisory, inspection, and operational services to clients across the oil and gas industry.
“Svend Anton played a key role in the reactivation and preparation of the drillship for operations, and in securing and overseeing the subsequent successful chartering of the drillship to Saipem from 2023 to 2026. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Svend for his dedication and valuable contribution to the Company, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours,” says Einar J. Greve, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
“I would like to thank the board for the good cooperation during this project, and I wish 3030 DVD all the best,” says Svend Anton Maier.
The Board of Directors will initiate a process to appoint a new CEO for the Company. The Company will provide further information in due course.
