SFL (NYSE: SFL) has initiated a series of fixed income investor meetings, potentially leading to a NOK denominated senior unsecured bond offering. The company has engaged Arctic Securities, DNB Markets, and SEB to arrange these meetings.

SFL plans to offer conditional buybacks of the existing bonds in conjunction with the new bond offering. If the new bond issuance is completed, SFL intends to call any remaining outstanding amounts of the existing bonds at the prevailing call price. This financial move aims to restructure SFL's debt and potentially improve its capital position.
