accelerated bookbuilding financial
"through an accelerated bookbuilding process"
An accelerated bookbuilding is a fast process where a company sells a large block of new or existing shares to a small group of institutional investors through a single, quick offering led by an investment bank. Think of it as a lightning auction: it raises cash or shifts ownership quickly, which can dilute existing holdings, change share supply, and affect the stock price, so investors watch these deals for signs of future supply and management intentions.
DVP settlement financial
"facilitating DVP settlement of the Offer Shares"
shelf registration statement regulatory
"effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.

24 September 2026
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Hafnia Limited (“Hafnia”, the “Company”, OSE ticker code: “HAFNI”, NYSE
ticker code: “HAFN”) on 23 September 2026, regarding a contemplated placement of ordinary shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”) (the “Offering”).
The Company is pleased to announce that the Offering has been successfully completed through the allocation of 35,488,875 Offer Shares, each at an offer price of NOK 80.00 per Offer Share (the “Offer Price”), raising gross proceeds of the NOK equivalent of approximately USD 300 million. The Offering took place through an accelerated bookbuilding process managed by Fearnley Securities AS and Pareto
Securities AS as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners, and Arctic Securities AS and Clarksons Securities AS as joint bookrunners (collectively, the “Managers”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) strengthen its balance sheet following its acquisitions of shares in TORM plc (“TORM”), including the
recently announced acquisition of 4,500,000 shares of TORM, representing 4.39% of the issued and outstanding share capital of TORM, and increasing the Company’s ownership in TORM to 18.19%, including repayment of indebtedness incurred in connection
with such acquisitions, (ii) for funding of potential strategic opportunities, and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
The Offering, allocation of the Offer Shares and issuance of new ordinary shares corresponding to the final number of Offer Shares (the “New Shares”)
were resolved by the Company following advice from the Managers.
Delivery of the Offer Shares allocated to investors in the Offering will be made by delivery of existing ordinary shares in the Company that are already listed on Euronext Oslo Børs pursuant to a share lending
agreement entered into by the Company, the Managers and BW Group Limited for the purpose of facilitating DVP settlement of the Offer Shares allocated to investors. Fearnley Securities AS (on behalf of the Managers) will settle the share loan with
New Shares to be issued upon receiving full payment and registration of issuance of the New Shares with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (“ACRA”).
Notification of allocation, including settlement instructions, is expected to be distributed by the Managers today, 24 September 2026, no later than 13:00 (CEST), with settlement on a DVP basis on or about 28
September 2026.
The Company has considered the Offering in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and applicable Singapore law, and the Company is of the view that the Offering is in
compliance with these requirements. By structuring the transaction as a private placement, the Company was able to raise capital in an efficient manner and with significantly lower completion risks compared to a rights issue, especially considering
that the shares of the Company are traded on both the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Oslo Børs. In addition, the Offering was subject to marketing through a publicly announced bookbuilding process, and a market-based offer price was therefore
achieved. On this basis, and based on an assessment of the current equity markets, the Company has considered the Offering to be in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders. For the same reasons, the Company does not expect to carry
out a subsequent share issue directed towards shareholders that were not allocated shares in the Offering.
The Offering was made in the United States pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287637), including a prospectus supplement to be filed with the SEC pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)
Following completion of the Offering, the Company will have 535,331,154 shares outstanding, representing an increase of approximately 7.10% compared to the number of shares outstanding prior to the Offering.
