Suezmax technical
"CMB.TECH NV has sold one Suezmax, generating a capital gain"
Suezmax is the classification for the largest oil tanker size that can pass through the Suez Canal fully loaded; think of it as the biggest truck that still fits down a narrow highway. It matters to investors because ship size influences shipping costs, route choices and supply-chain flexibility — factors that affect oil transport expenses, freight rates and the profitability of energy and shipping companies.

forward-looking statements regulatory
"Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Continuing Obligations regulatory
"published in accordance with the requirements of the Continuing Obligations on Euronext Oslo Børs"
capital gain financial
"This sale will generate a capital gain of approximately 56.9 million USD"
A capital gain is the profit an investor earns when they sell an asset — such as a stock, bond, or property — for more than they originally paid. Think of it like selling a used car for more than you bought it: the difference is your gain. Capital gains matter because they increase an investor’s overall return and can affect taxable income, which influences net profit from an investment.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbour protections for forward-looaking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbour provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbour legislation. The words "believe", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may", "should", "expect", "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
