Insights

OET prices a USD 130M share offering and supports it with a temporary Oslo trading halt.

Okeanis Eco Tankers completed and priced a USD 130 million offering of new common shares, signaling a meaningful equity capital raise. The Form 6-K links this transaction to previously established Form F-3 shelf registrations, which provide a framework under which such offerings can be executed.

To facilitate bookbuilding, trading in the company’s shares on Euronext Oslo Børs was halted on 21 January 2026 from the open until around 13:00 CET. The communication emphasizes that it is not itself an offer of securities and includes standard jurisdictional selling restrictions and forward-looking statement disclaimers. Overall, this is a financing and disclosure event rather than a change in operating performance.
