Key Figures
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news flow has focused on governance, incentive programs, and capital structure (RSUs, insider filings, AGM), with mixed but generally moderate price reactions to these events.
Over the last month, TORM has repeatedly adjusted its capital structure via RSU exercises and reported related insider and major shareholder positions. Capital increases on March 6 and March 16 added new A-shares, while filings on March 9 and subsequent 6-Ks detailed Oaktree’s 23.39% stake and block sale activity. The long-term incentive program announced on February 26 highlighted substantial RSU grants. Today’s smaller RSU-driven capital increase continues this theme of incentive-linked dilution and ownership disclosures.
