September 6, 2019 and the Total Return Swap price is NOK 68.9104 per share. The Total Return Swap provides Hemen Holding with economic results that are comparable to ownership but does not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or
dispose of or direct the disposition of the Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Total Return Swap.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, be party to, enter into
or unwind certain cash settled equity derivatives or similar contractual arrangements which provide indirect economic exposure to, but do not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive power over, securities of
the Issuer and which may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and/or return on such contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the securities of the Issuer, the relative value of securities of the Issuer in comparison
to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which the securities of the Issuer may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any
beneficial ownership in the securities that may be referenced in such contracts.
