Certain Industry Terms
The following are definitions of certain terms that are commonly used in the tanker industry and in this report:

Term | Definition
annual survey | The inspection of a vessel pursuant to international conventions by a classification society surveyor, on behalf of the flag state, which takes place every year.
bareboat charter | A charter under which a charterer pays a fixed daily or monthly rate for a fixed period of time for use of the vessel. The charterer pays all voyage and vessel operating expenses, including crewing and vessel insurance. Bareboat charters are usually long term. Also referred to as a “demise charter.”
bunker | Fuel oil used to operate a vessel’s engines, generators and boilers.
charter | Contract for the use of a vessel, generally consisting of either a voyage, time or bareboat charter.
charter hire | Money paid by a charterer to the shipowner for the use of a vessel under a time charter or bareboat charter.
charterer | The company that hires a vessel pursuant to a charter.
classification society | An independent society that certifies that a vessel has been built and maintained according to the society’s rules for that type of society vessel and complies with the applicable rules and regulations of the country in which the vessel is registered, as well as the international conventions which that country has ratified. A vessel that receives its certification is referred to as being “in class” as of the date of issuance.
double-hull | A hull construction design in which a vessel has an inner and outer side and bottom separated by void space, usually two meters in width.
drydocking | The removal of a vessel from the water for inspection or repair of those parts of a vessel which are below the water line.

EGCS | EGCS is the abbreviation for “exhaust gas cleaning system”, a system that is placed in the funnel of a seagoing vessel and removes sulfur (SOx) from the engine exhaust gas emissions.
hull | Shell or body of a ship.
IMO | International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency that issues international regulations and standards for shipping.
IMO 2020 | On January 1, 2020, a new limit on the Sulphur content in the fuel oil used on board ships came into force, with the objective to improve air quality, preserve the environment and protect human health.
| In connection with IMO 2020, refiners began to produce fuels with very low Sulphur content for the industry, with varying processes and specifications.
| Before the 2020 limit entered into force, most ships were using heavy fuel oil. Now, to comply with the 2020 limit, ships must either use Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) or an EGCS in combination with the use of heavy fuel oil.
| Known as “IMO 2020”, the rule limits the Sulphur in the fuel oil used on board ships operating outside designated emission control areas to 0.50% m/m (mass by mass) - a significant reduction from the previous limit of 3.5%. Limits within specific designated emission control areas were already stricter (0.10%) and remained unchanged.
newbuilding | A new vessel under construction or just completed.
off-hire | The period a vessel is unable to perform services and generate revenue. Off-hire periods typically include days spent undergoing repairs and drydocking, whether planned or not.
OPA | U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended.
OPEC | Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, an international organization of oil-exporting developing nations that coordinates and unifies the petroleum policies of its member countries.
petroleum products | Refined crude oil products, such as fuel oils, gasoline and jet fuel.
protection and indemnity insurance | Commonly known as “P&I insurance,” the insurance obtained through mutual associations, or “clubs,” formed by shipowners to provide liability insurance protection against a financial loss by one member through contribution towards that loss by all members. To a great extent, the risks are reinsured.
scrapping | The disposal of vessels by demolition for scrap metal.
special survey | An extensive inspection of a vessel by classification society surveyors that must be completed at least once during each five-year period. Special surveys require a vessel to be drydocked.
spot market | The market for immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages.
tanker | A ship designed for the carriage of liquid cargoes in bulk with cargo space consisting of several segregated tanks. Tankers carry a variety of products including crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquid chemicals and liquefied gas.

Table of Contents

TCE | Time charter equivalent, a standard industry measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. The TCE rate achieved on a given voyage is expressed in $/day and is generally calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunker and port charges, from voyage revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the round-trip voyage duration.
time charter | A charter under which a customer pays a fixed daily or monthly rate for a fixed period of time for use of the vessel. Subject to any restrictions in the charter, the customer decides the type and quantity of cargo to be carried and the ports of loading and unloading. The customer pays the voyage expenses such as fuel, canal tolls, and port charges. The shipowner pays all vessel operating expenses such as the management expenses, crew costs and vessel insurance.
time charterer | The company that hires a vessel pursuant to a time charter.
vessel operating expenses | The costs of operating a vessel incurred during a charter, primarily consisting of crew wages, associated costs and insurance.
VLCC | VLCC is the abbreviation for “very large crude carrier,” a large crude oil tanker in the range of 270,000 to 320,000 dwt. Modern VLCCs can generally transport two million barrels or more of crude oil. These vessels are mainly used on the longest (long haul) routes from the Arabian Gulf to North America, Europe, and Asia, from the U.S. to Far Eastern destinations, and from West Africa and South America to the U.S. and Far Eastern destinations.
voyage charter | A charter under which a shipowner hires out a ship for a specific voyage between the loading port and the discharging port. The shipowner is responsible for paying both ship operating expenses and voyage expenses. Typically, the customer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. The shipowner is paid freight on the basis of the cargo movement between ports. Also referred to as a “spot charter”.
voyage expenses | Expenses incurred due to a vessel traveling to a destination, such as fuel cost and port charges.

Table of Contents
Risks Relating to our Industry

• | Vessel values and charter rates are volatile. The highly cyclical nature of the tanker industry may lead to changes in charter rates from time to time, which may adversely affect our earnings, financial condition and results of operations.

• | An oversupply of new vessels may adversely affect charter rates and vessel values.

• | Political and economic decisions globally, including tariffs and other trade measures, may affect our vessels’ trading patterns and related costs and expenses and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

• | Adverse conditions and disruptions in global economies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

• | Compliance with environmental laws, regulations or carbon tax regimes and emissions regulation schemes, as well as increasing focus on sustainability and other environmental, social and governance matters, may adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to our Capital Stock

• | The market price of our common stock may be unpredictable and volatile.

• | Future sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

• | The anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated bylaws may discourage a change of control.

Risks Relating to Taxation

• | Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could arise for U.S. stockholders.

• | Our operating income may not qualify for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxation, which will reduce our cash flow.

• | We may be subject to taxation in Norway, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and would subject dividends paid by us to Norwegian withholding taxes.

• | Recently enacted income tax laws in Bermuda may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
A contraction or tightening of the global credit markets and the resulting volatility in the financial markets could have a material adverse impact on credit availability, world oil demand and demand for our vessels, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The global financial markets have been highly volatile and the availability of credit from financial markets and financial institutions can vary substantially depending on developments in the global financial markets. While we have seen improvement in the health of financial institutions and the willingness of financial institutions to extend credit to companies in the shipping industry, there is no guarantee that credit will be available to us going forward. As the shipping industry is highly dependent on the availability of credit to finance and expand operations, we may be adversely affected by a decline in the global credit and financial markets.

Table of Contents
There is considerable instability in the world economy that could negatively impact the economic environment and our business. The current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment is characterized by, among other factors, inflation, which caused the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates. Though inflation has come down from the high levels seen in 2022 and 2023, inflation and high interest rates may raise the cost of capital, increase our operating costs and generally reduce economic growth, disrupting global trade, oil demand and shipping. Concerns over inflation, high interest rates, energy costs, geopolitical issues, including acts of war, and the availability and cost of credit have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. Further, these factors, combined with volatile oil prices and declining business and consumer confidence, have precipitated fears of a possible economic recession and a tightening in the credit markets, low levels of liquidity in financial markets and volatility in credit and equity markets. Furthermore, a renewal of the financial crisis that affected the banking system and the financial markets may adversely impact our business and financial condition in ways that we cannot predict. In addition, the uncertainty about current and future global economic conditions caused by a renewed financial crisis may cause our customers to defer projects in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining confidence, which may negatively impact the demand for our vessels.
We may not be able to re-charter or employ our vessels profitably, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and cash available for the payment of dividends.
As of December 31, 2025, 10 of our vessels were on time charters with five different charterers. At the expiry of these charters, we may not be able to re-charter our vessels on terms similar to the terms of our existing charters. We may also employ the vessels on the spot charter market, which is subject to greater rate volatility than the time charter market. If we receive lower charter rates under replacement charters or are unable to re-charter our vessels, our business and financial position could be materially and adversely affected and the amounts that we have available, if any, to pay distributions to our stockholders may be reduced or eliminated.
We are dependent on performance by our charterers and any failure by the charterers to perform their obligations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and cash available for the payment of dividends.
As of December 31, 2025, 10 of our 22 vessels in operation were on time charters. We are dependent on the performance by the charterers of their obligations under the charters. The ability and willingness of our charterers to perform their obligations under their charters will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the overall financial condition of the charterer and various expenses. Any failure by the charterers to perform their obligations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and cash available for the payment of dividends.
We may have difficulty managing growth which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and cash available for the payment of dividends.
We may grow our fleet by acquiring additional vessels, fleets of vessels or companies owning vessels or by entering into joint ventures in the future. Such future growth will primarily depend on:

| • | identifying and acquiring vessels, fleets of vessels or companies owning vessels, contracting to build new vessels or entering into joint ventures that meet our requirements, including, but not limited to, price, specification and technical condition;

| • | consummating acquisitions of vessels, fleets of vessels or companies owning vessels, contracting to build new vessels or acquisitions of companies or joint ventures; and

| • | obtaining required financing through equity or debt financing on acceptable terms.

We may not be able to acquire newly built or secondhand vessels on acceptable terms, which could impede our growth and negatively impact our financial condition and ability to pay cash dividends. We may not be able to contract for newbuilds or locate suitable vessels or negotiate acceptable construction or purchase contracts with shipyards and owners, or obtain financing for such acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, or at all.

Table of Contents
Additionally, growing any business by acquisition presents numerous risks, such as undisclosed liabilities and obligations, the possibility that indemnification agreements will be unenforceable or insufficient to cover potential losses and the difficulties associated with imposing common standards, controls, procedures and policies, obtaining additional qualified personnel, managing relationships with customers and integrating newly acquired assets and operations into existing infrastructure. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in executing any growth plans or that we will not incur significant expenses and losses in connection with any future growth.
We may elect to reduce the size of our fleet which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and cash available for the payment of dividends.
We may elect to divest the least energy efficient vessels in our fleet to transition to more energy efficient vessels and technologies, and in order to prepare the Company for future yet unidentified investments. For example, in December 2025 and January 2026, we agreed to sell our three 2007-built VLCCs, the DHT China, DHT Europe and DHT Bauhinia. In January 2026, we took delivery of a newbuild vessel, the DHT Antelope, and in March 2026 we took delivery of the DHT Addax. We expect two additional newbuilds to be delivered in 2026. If we elect to further reduce the size of our fleet in the future and subsequent investments are delayed or are more costly than anticipated, our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our stockholders, could be materially adversely affected.
Restrictive covenants in the secured credit facilities may impose financial and other restrictions on us and our subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and have no significant assets other than cash and the equity interests in our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries own all of our vessels. As described in Item 5, our subsidiaries are party to seven secured credit facilities (the “secured credit facilities”), each secured by mortgages over certain vessels owned by our subsidiaries. The secured credit facilities impose certain operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These restrictions may limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, change the management of vessels, permit liens on their assets, sell vessels, merge or consolidate with, or transfer all or substantially all of their assets to, another person, enter into certain types of charters and enter into a line of business.
Therefore, we may need to seek permission from the lenders under the respective secured credit facilities in order to engage in certain corporate actions. The lenders’ interests may be different from ours and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain their permission when needed.
If we fail to comply with certain corporate or ship-specific covenants, including as a result of declining vessel values, or are unable to meet our debt obligations under the secured credit facilities, our lenders could declare their debt to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on our vessels.
Our obligations under the secured credit facilities include financial and operating covenants, both corporate and ship-specific, including requirements to maintain specified “value-to-loan” ratios. Our credit facilities generally require that the fair market value of the vessels pledged as collateral never be less than 135% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the loan. Though we are currently compliant with such ratios under the secured credit facilities, vessel values have generally experienced significant volatility over the last few years. If vessel values decline meaningfully from current levels, we could be required to make repayments under certain of the secured credit facilities in order to remain in compliance with the value-to-loan ratios.
If we breach these or other covenants contained in the secured credit facilities or we are otherwise unable to meet our debt obligations for any reason, our lenders could declare their debt, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on those of our vessels securing the applicable facility, which could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness we may have at such time and the commencement of similar foreclosure proceedings by other lenders.

Table of Contents
To maintain our carrying capacity, we may enter into newbuilding agreements that subject us to certain risks, and the failure of our counterparties to meet their obligations thereunder could cause us to suffer losses or otherwise materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows.
From time to time, we enter into newbuilding agreements. Such agreements subject us to counterparty risk. The ability of our counterparties to perform their obligations thereunder will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the overall financial condition of the counterparty and various expenses. Should our counterparties fail to honor their obligations under our future newbuilding agreements, we could sustain significant losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, if we are unable to enforce any refund guarantees related to future newbuilding agreements, we may lose all or part of our advance deposits in the newbuildings, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness incurred under the secured credit facilities which may increase our cost of borrowing or cause us to issue additional equity securities which could be dilutive to existing shareholders.
In the event that we are unable to service our debt obligations out of our operating activities, we may need to refinance our indebtedness and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so on terms that are acceptable to us or at all, especially in the current interest rate environment. The actual or perceived tanker market rate environment and prospects and the market value of our fleet, among other things, may materially affect our ability to obtain new debt financing. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness, we may choose to issue securities or sell certain of our assets in order to satisfy our debt obligations.
Fluctuations in interest rates could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates because borrowings under our secured credit facilities contain interest rates that fluctuate with the financial markets, and our interest expense is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. As of December 31, 2025, all of our obligations under the secured credit facilities bear interest by reference to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”). Between the start of 2022 to the end of 2023, SOFR increased from 0.05% to 5.38%, before declining to 3.87% as of year-end of 2025. Any increases in SOFR could materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows, including the cash available for dividends to our stockholders. While we occasionally use interest rate swaps to partly reduce our exposure to interest rate risk and to hedge a portion of our outstanding indebtedness, there is no assurance that our derivative contracts will provide adequate protection against adverse changes in interest rates or that our bank counterparties will be able to perform their obligations. For additional information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Market Risks and Financial Risk Management” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.
A limited number of customers comprise the majority of our revenues. The loss of these customers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consolidation or alliances among these customers will reduce our bargaining power.
Five customers represent the majority of our revenue. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our five largest customers together represented 61%, 61% and 73 % of our revenue, respectively. The number of companies which comprise our client base may shrink in the future, which could render us dependent on establishing relationships with new customers to generate a substantial portion of our revenues. The cessation of business with these companies or their failure to fulfill their obligations under the charters for our vessels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our stockholders. Industry consolidations and alliances involving our customers could further increase the concentration of our business and reduce our bargaining power.
Our financial and operating performance was previously adversely affected by COVID-19 and an occurrence of another similar epidemic and related governmental responses may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business may be adversely affected by an occurrence of an epidemic that may emerge and any related governmental response. The initial outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in numerous actions taken by governments and governmental agencies in an attempt to mitigate the spread or any resurgence of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures such as lockdowns. It introduced uncertainty into global economic activity and, as such, our operational and financial activities. Failure to control the spread of another epidemic could significantly impact economic activity, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The occurrence or reoccurrence of any of the foregoing events or other epidemics, an increase in the severity or duration of epidemics and pandemics or a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of another virus could have a material adverse effect on our future financial and operating performance.

The indexes used to calculate the earnings for vessels on index-based charters may, in the future, no longer reasonably reflect the estimated earnings of the vessels.
The indexes used to calculate the earnings for vessels on index-based charters may, in the future, no longer be available or applicable in order to reasonably reflect the estimated earnings of the vessel, due to factors not controlled by us. If an index used to calculate the earnings for a vessel on an index-based charter incorrectly reflects the earnings potential of a vessel on such charter, this could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to pay dividends. As of December 31, 2025, we had two vessels on index-based charters for which the profit sharing element is calculated based on the indexes.
Under the ship management agreements for our vessels, our operating costs could materially increase.
The technical management for all our vessels is carried out by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goodwood Ship Management Pte. Ltd. (“Goodwood”). As such, we pay the actual cost related to the technical management of our vessels. The amounts that we have available, if any, to pay distributions to our stockholders could be impacted by any changes in the operating or maintenance costs for our vessels, some of which may be beyond our control.
When a tanker changes ownership or technical management, it may lose customer approvals.
Most users of seaborne oil transportation services will require vetting of a vessel before it is approved to service their account. This represents a risk to our company as it may be difficult to efficiently employ the vessel until such vetting approvals are in place. Most users of seaborne oil transportation services conduct inspection and assessment of vessels on request from owners and technical managers. Such inspections must be carried out regularly for a vessel to have valid approvals from such users of seaborne oil transportation services. Whenever a vessel changes ownership or its technical manager, it loses its approval status and must be re-inspected and re-assessed by such users of seaborne oil transportation services. Increasingly longer voyages in the VLCC trade could make timely vetting inspections challenging and thus could result in vessels not obtaining vetting approvals in time to secure their next employment at market rates.
We are a holding company and we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial and other obligations.
We are a holding company and have no significant assets other than cash and the equity of our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. Our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to make these distributions are subject to restrictions contained in our subsidiaries’ financing agreements and could be affected by a claim or other action by a third party, including a creditor, or by Marshall Islands, Monaco, Norway or Singapore law which regulates the payment of dividends by companies. If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries, we may not be able to pay dividends.
Economic substance laws of the Marshall Islands and Bermuda may adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The European Union Code of Conduct Group has assessed the tax policies of a range of countries, including the Marshall Islands, where we and all of our vessel-owning subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries related to the newbuilding contracts as described in “Item 4. Information on the Company”, are incorporated, and Bermuda (together with the Marshall Islands, the “Economic Substance Jurisdictions”), where our principal executive offices are located.
On January 1, 2019, the Marshall Islands enacted the Economic Substance Regulations, 2018 (the “Marshall Islands ESR”) and Bermuda enacted the Economic Substance Act 2018 (as amended) (the “Bermuda ESA” and, together with the Marshall Islands ESR, the “Economic Substance Laws”).
11

Table of Contents
The Economic Substance Laws generally require companies that are registered in the applicable Economic Substance Jurisdiction and carrying on one or more “relevant activities” to maintain a substantial economic presence in such Economic Substance Jurisdiction. The list of “relevant activities” includes, among other business activities, shipping business, headquarters business and holding company business. The Company intends to comply with relevant Economic Substance Laws; however, it is difficult to predict the outcome of any review by the authorities as to whether we have correctly interpreted the requirements. Failure to comply with relevant Economic Substance Laws in each Economic Substance Jurisdiction may subject us to certain monetary penalties and, solely with respect to the Marshall Islands ESR, revocation of the formation documents and dissolution of the applicable non-compliant Marshall Islands entity. Accordingly, any implementation of, or changes to, any of the Economic Substance Laws that impact us could increase the complexity and costs of carrying on business in these jurisdictions, and thus could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
A cyberattack could lead to a material disruption of our IT systems and the loss of business information, which may hinder our ability to conduct our business effectively and may result in lost revenues and additional costs.
Parts of our business depend on the secure operation of our computer systems to manage, process, store and transmit information. Like other global companies, we have, from time to time, experienced threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, internet network scans, systems failures and disruptions. A cyberattack that bypasses our IT security systems, causing an IT security breach, could lead to a material disruption of our IT systems, adversely impact our daily operations and cause the loss of sensitive information, including our own proprietary information and that of our customers, suppliers and employees. Such losses could harm our reputation and result in competitive disadvantages, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, lost revenues, additional costs and liability. While we devote substantial resources to maintaining adequate levels of cybersecurity, our resources and technical sophistication may not be adequate to prevent all types of cyberattacks.
Furthermore, any changes in the nature of cyber threats might require us to adopt additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require additional expenses and/or capital expenditures. War, terrorism and geopolitical conflicts could be accompanied by cyberattacks against instruments of the government and/or cyberattacks on surrounding countries. It is possible that such attacks could have collateral effects on additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions globally, which could hinder our ability to conduct our business effectively and adversely impact our revenues. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact at this time.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR INDUSTRY
Our results of operations and financial condition depend significantly on charter rates for VLCC vessels, which may be highly volatile and are based on macroeconomic factors outside of our control. If we cannot charter or sell our vessels on favorable terms, there could be a material adverse effect on our earnings and our ability to comply with our loan covenants.
The tanker industry historically has been highly cyclical. If the tanker industry is depressed at a time when we may charter or sell a vessel, our earnings and available cash flow may decrease. Our ability to charter our vessels and the charter rates payable under any new charters will depend upon, among other things, the conditions in the tanker market at that time. Fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values result from changes in the supply and demand for tanker capacity and changes in the supply and demand for oil and oil products.
Additionally, as of the date of this report, 12 of our vessels operate in the spot market, which exposes us to the fluctuations in spot market rates. The spot market is highly competitive, and rates within this market are subject to volatile fluctuations. For example, in reaction to recent sanctions and sanctions enforcement, the spot market experienced immediate and significant fluctuations, and we may not be able to predict whether future spot rates will be sufficient to enable our vessels to be operated profitably.
Factors affecting the supply and demand for tankers are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable and may adversely affect the values of our vessels and result in significant fluctuations in the amount of revenue we earn, which could result in significant fluctuations in our quarterly or annual results.

Table of Contents
The factors that influence the demand for tanker capacity include:

| • | demand for oil and oil products, which affects the need for tanker capacity;

| • | global and regional economic and political conditions which, among other things, could impact the supply of oil as well as trading patterns and the demand for various types of vessels;

| • | changes in the production of crude oil, particularly by OPEC and other key producers, which could impact the need for tanker capacity;

| • | developments in international trade, protectionism and other trade policies, and market fragmentation or consolidation;

| • | changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including changes in the distances that cargoes are transported;

| • | environmental concerns and other legal and regulatory developments;

| • | international sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations and wars;

| • | weather; and

| • | competition from alternative sources of energy.

The factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity include:

| • | the number of newbuilding orders and deliveries;

| • | technological advances in tanker design and capacity;

| • | the availability of financing for new vessels and shipping activity;

| • | the scrapping rate of older vessels;

| • | the number of vessels that are restricted due to sanctions;

| • | fragmentation or consolidation of the fleet ownership or operational control;

| • | the number of vessels that are out of service; and

| • | environmental and maritime regulations.

Additionally, the effective supply of tankers has been impacted in recent years by the impact of sanctions and trade pattern disruptions, including vessels currently continuing to reroute away from the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Suez Canal due to attacks on ships. These factors resulted in fleet inefficiencies and support for tanker charter rates, which may not continue.
An oversupply of new vessels may adversely affect charter rates and vessel values, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
If the carrying capacity of new ships delivered exceeds the capacity of tankers being removed from the fleet, total transportation capacity will increase. As of March 13, 2026, the newbuilding orderbook for VLCC vessels equaled 22.2% of the existing trading fleet. However, we cannot assure you that the orderbook will not increase further relative to the size of the current fleet. If the supply of tanker capacity increases and the demand for tanker capacity does not increase correspondingly, charter rates could decline and the value of our vessels could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents
Political and economic decisions globally, including the effects of tariffs and other trade measures, may affect our vessels’ trading patterns and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Our vessels are trading globally, and the operation of our vessels is therefore exposed to political and economic risks across multiple jurisdictions. Most recently, the escalating military conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran and the related attacks on vessels effectively shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, forcing companies to reroute their vessels to avoid the waterway. Similarly, seizures and attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea have impacted seaborne trade as many companies have decided to reroute vessels to avoid the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Such conflicts have raised concerns of long-term supply disruption.
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China, in particular, remain high, and have escalated in recent periods. In early 2025, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) determined to impose additional port fees targeting China’s maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors. The U.S. port fees went into effect on October 14, 2025, and were structured to impact certain Chinese-linked vessels that call at U.S. ports. In response to the U.S. port fees, China’s Ministry of Transport announced parallel Chinese port fees on vessels that call at Chinese ports and are deemed to have a U.S. nexus, including vessels that are owned, operated or controlled by U.S. persons and vessels associated with enterprises in which U.S. persons directly or indirectly hold 25% or more of equity, voting rights or board seats. On November 10, 2025, U.S. and Chinese authorities suspended the application of each respective set of port fees for one year. There is substantial uncertainty as to how the port fees will be assessed after the end of the suspension period. As we are a U.S.-listed, widely held public company, there is a risk that we could be subject to the port fees or similar measures should they go into effect following the end of the suspension period, which could lead to added operating costs and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Further, on February 13, 2026, the second Trump administration released its Maritime Action Plan (the “MAP”) focused on reviving the U.S. shipping sector. Notably, the MAP proposes a “universal infrastructure or security fee,” which would apply more broadly than the USTR special port fees and would cover all internationally built vessels calling at U.S. ports. While specific figures have yet to be determined, the fees would be assessed on the weight of the imported tonnage arriving on the vessel. Currently, the MAP represents a policy plan for the administration, and it is unclear whether any of the initiatives contained therein will ultimately result in binding law or regulation. Given the uncertainties surrounding the implementation and potential magnitude of these proposed fees, as well as any retaliatory measures that other countries may adopt in response, the impact of such measures on our business is difficult to assess at this time.
Additionally, the second Trump administration has imposed and may continue to impose additional tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China and has announced plans to impose tariffs on imports from the European Union (the “EU”). Hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas and related conflicts in the Middle East, in addition to the sanctions announced by the United States and several European countries against Russia and any forthcoming sanctions may also adversely impact our business, given Russia’s role as a major global exporter of crude oil. The United States has implemented the Russian Foreign Harmful Activities Sanctions program, which includes prohibitions on the import of certain Russian energy products into the United States, including crude oil, petroleum, petroleum fuels, oils, liquefied natural gas and coal, as well as prohibitions on all new investments in Russia by U.S. persons, among other restrictions. Furthermore, the United States has also prohibited a variety of specified services related to the maritime transport of Russian Federation origin crude oil and petroleum products, including trading/commodities brokering, financing, shipping, insurance (including reinsurance and protection and indemnity), flagging, and customs brokering. These prohibitions took effect on December 5, 2022 with respect to the maritime transport of crude oil, and on February 5, 2023 with respect to the maritime transport of other petroleum products. An exception exists to permit such services when the price of the seaborne Russian oil does not exceed the relevant price cap. Violations of the price cap policy or the risk that information, documentation, or attestations provided by parties in the supply chain are later determined to be false may pose additional risks that may adversely affect our business. Our business could be harmed by trade tariffs, as well as any trade embargoes or other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against countries in the Middle East, Asia, Russia or elsewhere as a result of terrorist attacks, hostilities or diplomatic or political pressures that limit trading activities with those countries.

The Israel-Hamas conflict, the conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran and related conflicts in the Middle East, and the vessel attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea have also created additional concerns for the stability of the supply of oil as the conflicts could broaden or escalate. The geopolitical environment is evolving and continues to be uncertain as new developments arise, and any such changes may have direct or indirect impacts on us. Geopolitical risks are outside of our control and could potentially limit or disrupt our access to markets and operations and may have an adverse effect on our business.
We operate our ships worldwide, which means adverse conditions and disruptions in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business can be affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, such as general geopolitical, economic and business conditions. The world economy is subject to downside economic risks stemming from factors such as high inflation, energy costs, fiscal fragility in advanced economies, monetary tightening in certain advanced and emerging economies, high sovereign, corporate and private debt levels, highly accommodative macroeconomic policies and increased volatility in debt and equity markets as well as in the price of fuel and other commodities. Adverse conditions and disruptions in the global economy, particularly the U.S. economy, European economies, and Asian economies, may lead to weaker demand for our services and have a material adverse effect on our business.
In recent years, Asia has emerged as the most important region for demand of oil and oil transportation. However, if China’s growth in gross domestic product and in industrial production slows and other countries in the Asia Pacific region experience slower or negative economic growth in the future, this may negatively affect the global economy, and thus, may negatively impact shipping demand. In addition, the continued global trade war between the U.S. and China, including the introduction by the U.S. of tariffs on selected imported goods, mainly from China, may provoke further retaliation measures from the affected countries which has the potential to create new impediments to trade. Furthermore, trade friction could increase the volatility in the foreign exchange markets which could also negatively affect global trade. Such volatile economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In addition, the structural issues facing the EU following the United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum to withdraw from the EU (commonly referred to as “Brexit”) remain, and problems could resurface that could affect financial market conditions, and, possibly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, particularly if they lead to the exit of one or more countries from the European Monetary Union (the “EMU”) or the exit of additional countries from the EU. If one or more countries exited the EMU, there would be significant uncertainty with respect to outstanding obligations of counterparties and debtors in any exiting country, whether sovereign or otherwise, and it would likely lead to complex and lengthy disputes and litigation. The partial or full breakup of the EMU or EU would be unprecedented and its impact highly uncertain, including with respect to our business.
Compliance with environmental laws or regulations, as well as increasing focus on sustainability and other environmental, social and governance matters, may adversely affect our business.
Our operations are affected by extensive and changing international, national and local environmental protection laws, carbon tax regimes and emissions regulation schemes, regulations, treaties, conventions and standards in force in international waters, the jurisdictional waters of the countries in which our vessels operate, as well as the countries of our vessels’ registration. Many of these requirements are designed to reduce the risk of oil spills and other pollution, and our compliance with these requirements can be costly.
These requirements can affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels, require a reduction in carrying capacity, ship modifications or operational changes or restrictions, lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters or result in the denial of access to certain jurisdictional waters or ports, or detention in certain ports. Under local, national and foreign laws, as well as international treaties and conventions, we could incur material liabilities, including cleanup obligations, in the event that there is a release of petroleum or other hazardous substances from our vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. We could also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims relating to the release of or exposure to hazardous materials associated with our current or historic operations, as well as claims by governmental authorities or other trustees for natural resource damages. Violations of, or liabilities arising under, environmental regulations may result in substantial penalties, fines and other sanctions, including in certain instances, seizure or detention of our vessels. For example, the OPA affects all vessel owners shipping oil to, from or within the U.S. The OPA allows for potentially unlimited liability without regard to fault for owners, operators and bareboat charterers of vessels for oil pollution in U.S. waters. The OPA expressly permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to hazardous materials and oil pollution incidents occurring within their borders, coasts and territorial seas. Coastal states in the U.S. have enacted pollution prevention liability and response laws, many providing for unlimited liability for entities found responsible for pollution. Similarly, the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended, which has been adopted by most countries outside of the U.S., imposes liability for oil pollution in international waters.

Due to concern over the risks of climate change, a number of countries and the IMO have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission and other emissions from ships. These regulatory measures may include adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for implementation of new technologies. On November 1, 2022, carbon intensity measures came into force that require ships to calculate their Energy Efficiency Index (“EEXI”), which indicates a ship’s efficiency compared to a specified baseline, and their annual operational Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”) and CII rating. The EEXI could require us to implement certain additional operational or technical steps, such as speed and power limitations or installations of technical features, to improve the energy efficiency of our ships. The CII rating is on a scale from A to E, with E as the lowest score. If our ships rate D for three consecutive years or E for a single year, they must develop corrective action plans to achieve the required annual operational CII. Such plans may include capital expenditures and investments for our ships to stay in compliance. In July 2023, the IMO adopted the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships, a framework for Member States that provides new emissions reduction goals and guidance. At its meeting in April 2025, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (“MEPC”) approved the IMO net-zero framework, including the new fuel standard for ships and a global GHG emission pricing mechanism for emissions. However, at the October 2025 MEPC meeting, the Committee did not adopt these previously approved measures. As a result, it is currently uncertain when, or if, the IMO net-zero framework will be adopted by a sufficient number of Member States to enter into force as a mandatory regulation with which our vessels would be required to comply. If these measures go into effect, we may need to incur additional capital expenditures to achieve compliance with the relevant requirements. In addition, although emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping are not currently subject to agreements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, such as the “Kyoto Protocol” and the “Paris Agreement,” a new treaty may be adopted in the future that includes additional restrictions on shipping emissions beyond those already adopted under the International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, or the “MARPOL Convention.” Compliance with pending or future changes in laws and regulations relating to climate change and GHG emissions could increase the costs of operating and maintaining our ships and could require us to invest in new equipment to be installed onboard, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, as well as impact revenue generation and strategic growth opportunities.
In addition, in connection with our compliance with the OPA, IMO regulations, EU directives or other existing laws and regulations or those that may be adopted in the future, we may incur significant additional costs in meeting new maintenance and inspection requirements, developing contingency arrangements for potential spills and obtaining insurance coverage. Government regulation of vessels, particularly in the areas of safety and environmental requirements and climate change, can be expected to become more strict in the future and require us to incur significant capital expenditures for our vessels to keep them in compliance, or even to scrap or sell certain vessels altogether. For example, in 2017, the U.S. and the IMO enacted ballast water discharge standards that required the installation of ballast water treatment systems in existing ships by September 8, 2024, which has increased compliance costs for us and other similarly regulated ocean carriers. In the past, the IMO and EU accelerated non-double-hull phase-out schedules in response to highly publicized oil spills and other shipping incidents involving companies unrelated to us. Although all of our tankers are double-hulled and have ballast water treatment systems installed, future environmentally-damaging accidents can be expected in the industry, and such accidents or other events could result in the adoption of even stricter laws and regulations, which could limit our operations or our ability to do business and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Even in the absence of climate change legislation and regulations, our business and operations may be materially affected as a result of weather events and climate change. Moreover, companies across all industries, including shipping and transportation, are facing increasing scrutiny relating to sustainability and other environmental, social and governance policies, practices and performance. For example, long-term concerns over climate change have resulted in an increased focus on the environmental footprint of the energy and transportation sectors from regulators, shareholders, lending banks, customers, environmental groups and other stakeholders and could lead to a decrease in oil and gas demand or contribute to a negative perception of the oil and gas industry, which could impact our ability to attract investors, access financing and capital markets and attract and retain talent. This increasing scrutiny also could require us to implement additional relevant practices or standards or otherwise incur additional costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Terrorist attacks, international hostilities and the emergence or continuation of a global public health threat could affect the demand for oil transportation, which could adversely affect our business.
Terrorist attacks, the outbreak or threat of war, the existence of international hostilities, or the emergence or continuation of a global public health threat or pandemic crisis, such as COVID-19, could damage the global economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products and adversely affect our ability to employ our vessels. We conduct our operations internationally, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by trade wars and changing economic, political and government conditions in or between the countries and regions in which our vessels are employed. Moreover, we operate in a sector of the economy that is likely to be adversely impacted by political instability, terrorist or other attacks, war or international hostilities.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran and related conflicts in the Middle East and the seizures and attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, for example, may lead to further regional and international conflicts or armed action. Such conflicts have disrupted and may continue to disrupt supply chains and cause instability in the global economy. Additionally, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions by the United States and the European Union against Russia. While much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran and related conflicts in the Middle East, and the attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, it is possible that such tensions and others that may arise could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. Furthermore, it is possible that third parties with whom we have charter contracts may be impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran and related conflicts in the Middle East and the attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, which could adversely affect our operations. Additionally, other conflicts and public health threats may arise on a global or regional scale and affect the demand for oil transportation, which could adversely affect our business.
Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Acts of piracy have historically affected vessels operating in regions of the world, such as the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, and the South China Sea, among others. According to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a non-profit organization that aims to tackle maritime crime and malpractice, global maritime incidents and piracy increased in 2025, with 137 incidents recorded compared to 116 in 2024 and 120 in 2023. The seizures and attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea have impacted seaborne trade, as many companies have rerouted vessels to avoid the Suez Canal and Red Sea, raising concerns about supply disruption. If piracy activity results in regions in which our vessels operate being designated as “war risk” zones by insurers, premiums for such coverage could increase significantly and may become more difficult to obtain. Crew-related costs, including expenses associated with onboard security personnel, could also increase. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses arising from such incidents, including payment of any ransom we may be forced to make, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, these events could lead to reduced revenues, increased costs, and decreased cash flows to our customers, potentially impairing their ability to meet payment obligations under our charters.

Our vessels may call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the governments of the U.S., the United Nations (the “UN”) or the EU, which could negatively affect the trading price of our shares of common stock.
From time to time on charterers’ instructions, our vessels have called and may again call on ports located in countries subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. government, the UN or the EU, and countries identified by the U.S. government, the UN or the EU as state sponsors of terrorism. The U.S., UN and EU sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended, strengthened, or lifted over time. For example, in 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, or “CISADA,” which expanded the scope of the Iran Sanctions Act (as amended, the “ISA”) by amending existing sanctions under the ISA and creating new sanctions. Among other things, CISADA introduced additional prohibitions and limits on the ability of companies (both U.S. and non-U.S.) and persons to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products. In 2011, the President of the United States issued Executive Order 13590, which expanded on the existing energy-related sanctions available under the ISA. In 2012, the President signed additional relevant executive orders, including Executive Order 13608, which prohibits foreign persons from violating or attempting to violate, or causing a violation of, any sanctions in effect against Iran or facilitating any deceptive transactions for or on behalf of any person subject to U.S. sanctions. The Secretary of the Treasury may prohibit any transactions or dealings, including any U.S. capital markets financing, involving any person found to be in violation of Executive Order 13608. Also in 2012, the U.S. enacted the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (the “ITRA”) which again created new sanctions and strengthened existing sanctions under the ISA. Among other things, the ITRA intensifies existing sanctions regarding the provision of goods, services, infrastructure or technology to Iran’s petroleum or petrochemical sector. The ITRA also includes a provision requiring the President of the United States to impose five or more sanctions from Section 6(a) of the ISA on a person the President determines is a controlling beneficial owner of, or otherwise owns, operates, or controls or insures a vessel that was used to transport crude oil from Iran to another country and (1) if the person is a controlling beneficial owner of the vessel, the person had actual knowledge the vessel was so used or (2) if the person otherwise owns, operates, or controls, or insures the vessel, the person knew or should have known the vessel was so used. Such a person could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including exclusion from U.S. capital markets, exclusion from financial transactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and exclusion of that person’s vessels from U.S. ports for up to two years. The ITRA also includes a requirement that issuers of securities must disclose to the SEC in their annual and quarterly reports filed after February 6, 2013 if the issuer or “any affiliate” has “knowingly” engaged in certain sanctioned activities involving Iran during the time frame covered by the report. At this time, we are not aware of any such sanctionable activity, conducted by ourselves or by any affiliate that is likely to prompt an SEC disclosure requirement.
In January 2013, the U.S. enacted the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012 (the “IFCPA”), which expanded the scope of U.S. sanctions on any person that is part of Iran’s energy, shipping or shipbuilding sector and operators of ports in Iran, and imposes penalties on any person who facilitates or otherwise knowingly provides significant financial, material, technological or other support to these entities. On November 24, 2013, the P5+1 (the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China) entered into an interim agreement with Iran entitled the “Joint Plan of Action” (the “JPOA”). Under the JPOA, it was agreed that, in exchange for Iran taking certain voluntary measures to ensure that its nuclear program is used only for peaceful purposes, the U.S. and EU would voluntarily suspend certain sanctions for a period of six months. On January 20, 2014, the U.S. and EU indicated that they would begin implementing the temporary relief measures provided for under the JPOA. These measures include, among other things, the suspension of certain sanctions on the Iranian petrochemicals, precious metals, and automotive industries from January 20, 2014 until July 20, 2014. At the end of the six-month period, when no agreement between Iran and the P5+1 could be reached, the measures were extended for a further six months to November 24, 2014, on which date the parties affirmed that they would continue to implement the measures through June 30, 2015. On July 14, 2015, the P5+1 and EU entered into a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (“JCPOA”) with Iran. Under the JCPOA, it was agreed that, in exchange for Iran taking certain voluntary measures to ensure that its nuclear program is used only for peaceful purposes, certain sanctions would be lifted on the Iranian petrochemicals, precious metals, and automotive industries. The parties affirmed that the JPOA’s temporary relief measures would remain in effect until the date that Iran implemented certain nuclear-related commitments described in the JCPOA (“Implementation Day”). On October 18, 2015, the JCPOA came into effect and participants began taking steps necessary to implement their JCPOA commitments. On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that Iran implemented key nuclear-related commitments described in the JCPOA, and, in accordance with the JCPOA, that day was deemed Implementation Day, and the JPOA ceased to be in effect. As a result, the following sanctions were lifted on Implementation Day: (1) U.S. nuclear-related sanctions described in sections 17.1 to 17.2 of Annex V of the JCPOA, (2) EU nuclear-related sanctions described in section 16 of Annex V of the JCPOA and (3) the UN Security Council Resolutions 1696, 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835, 1929 and 2224. On May 8, 2018, the United States announced its withdrawal from the JCPOA. U.S. nuclear-related sanctions that had been lifted on Implementation Day were reinstated in two phases and became effective on August 7, 2018 and November 5, 2018, respectively. In 2019, the United States imposed sanctions on Iran’s iron, steel, aluminum and copper sectors, and on Iran’s Supreme Leader and other senior Iranian government officials. In 2020, additional sanctions were imposed on Iran’s construction, mining, manufacturing and textiles sectors, as well as transfers to and from Iran of conventional arms or military equipment. Finally, certain or future counterparties of ours may be affiliated with persons or entities that are the subject of sanctions imposed by the U.S. and EU or other international bodies as a result of the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, no vessels in our fleet made any calls to ports in Iran. During 2018, prior to the reinstatement of U.S. nuclear-related sanctions described above, vessels in our fleet made a total of two calls to ports in Iran, representing 0.27% of our 741 calls on worldwide ports during the same period. During 2017, when the JPOA was not in effect, and thus the corresponding nuclear-related sanctions described above had been lifted in connection with Implementation Day, vessels in our fleet made a total of four calls to ports in Iran, representing 0.56% of our 707 calls on worldwide ports during the same period. During 2016, when the JPOA was not in effect, and thus the corresponding nuclear-related sanctions described above had been lifted in connection with Implementation Day, vessels in our fleet made a total of three calls to ports in Iran, representing 0.48% of our 629 calls on worldwide ports during the same period. Prior to 2016, the last call to a port in Iran made by a vessel in our fleet was in January 2012. The port calls made to ports in Iran in 2018, 2017 and 2016 were made at the direction of the time charterer of the vessels. Prior to making port calls to Iran, the charterer is required to conduct a due diligence to ensure that the port calls are in compliance with applicable sanctions against Iran. To our knowledge, none of our vessels made port calls to Syria, Sudan, Cuba or the Crimea Region during the period from 2011 to 2025.
We monitor compliance of our vessels with applicable restrictions through, among other things, communication with our charterers and administrators regarding such legal and regulatory developments as they arise. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any such violation could result in fines or other penalties and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in our company. Additionally, some investors may decide to divest their interest, or not to invest, in our company simply because we do business with companies that do business in sanctioned countries. Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or our vessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation. Investor perception of the value of our common stock may also be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest or governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery legislation in other jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties, contract terminations and an adverse effect on our business.
We operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including some countries known to have a reputation for corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the “FCPA.” We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our management.
Vessel values may be depressed at a time when we sell a vessel, when our subsidiaries are required to make a repayment under the secured credit facilities or when the secured credit facilities mature, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to refinance the secured credit facilities.
Tanker values have generally experienced high volatility. Investors can expect the fair market value of our tankers to fluctuate, depending on general economic and market conditions affecting the tanker industry and competition from other shipping companies, types and sizes of vessels and other modes of transportation. In addition, as vessels age, they generally decline in value. These factors will affect the value of our vessels for purposes of covenant compliance under the secured credit facilities and at the time of any vessel sale. If for any reason we sell a tanker at a time when tanker prices have fallen, the sale may be at less than the tanker’s carrying amount on our financial statements, with the result that we would also incur a loss on the sale and a reduction in earnings and surplus, which could reduce our ability to pay dividends.
19

Table of Contents
In the event of the sale or loss of a vessel, certain of the secured credit facilities require us and our subsidiaries to prepay the facility in an amount proportionate to the market value of the sold or lost vessel compared with the total market value of all of our vessels financed under such credit facility before such sale or loss. If vessel values are depressed at such a time, our liquidity could be adversely affected as the amount that we and our subsidiaries are required to repay could be greater than the proceeds we receive from a sale. In addition, declining tanker values could adversely affect our ability to refinance our secured credit facilities as they mature, as the amount that a new lender would be willing to lend on the same terms may be less than the amount we owe under the expiring secured credit facilities.
The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their charter-free market value at any point in time. The carrying values of our vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a particular vessel may not be fully recoverable.
We operate in the highly competitive international tanker market and may not be able to compete effectively or operate profitably, which could affect our financial position.
The operation of tankers and transportation of crude oil are extremely competitive. Competition arises primarily from other tanker owners, including major oil companies or state-owned entities that control vessels, as well as independent tanker companies, some of whom have substantially larger fleets and substantially greater resources than we do. Competition for the transportation of oil and oil products can be intense and depends on price, location, size, age, condition and the acceptability of the tanker and its operators to charterers. We will have to compete with other tanker owners, including major oil companies or state-owned entities that control vessels and independent tanker companies, for charters. Due in part to the fragmented tanker market, competitors with greater resources may be able to offer better prices than us, which could result in our achieving lower revenues from our vessels.
The shipping industry has inherent operational risks, which could impair the ability of charterers to make payments to us and which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Events such as marine disasters or casualties, bad weather, mechanical failures, human error, war, terrorism, piracy, environmental accidents and other circumstances or events could result in loss of life or harm to persons, loss of property or damage to our tankers and their cargos. In addition, transporting crude oil across a wide variety of international jurisdictions creates a risk of business interruptions due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor strikes and boycotts, the potential for changes in tax rates or policies, and the potential for government expropriation of our vessels. Further, our business operations could be negatively impacted by future epidemics, which could interrupt our business operations and ability to execute our services. Any of these events could impair the ability of charterers of our vessels to make payments to us under our charters.
Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to make us whole in the event of a casualty to a vessel or other catastrophic event, or fail to cover all of the inherent operational risks associated with the tanker industry.
In the event of a casualty to a vessel or other catastrophic event, we will rely on our insurance to pay the insured value of the vessel or the damages incurred, less the agreed deductible that may apply. Our wholly owned subsidiaries will be responsible for arranging insurance against those risks that we believe the shipping industry commonly insures against, and we are responsible for the premium payments on such insurance. This insurance includes marine hull and machinery insurance, protection and indemnity insurance, which includes pollution risks and crew insurance, and war risk insurance. We may also enter into loss of hire insurance, in which our wholly owned subsidiaries are responsible for arranging such loss of hire insurance, and we are responsible for the premium payments on such insurance. This insurance generally provides coverage against business interruption for periods of more than 60 days per incident (up to a maximum of 180 days per incident) per year, following any loss under our hull and machinery policy. We will not be reimbursed under the loss of hire insurance policies, on a per incident basis, for the first 60 days of off-hire. Currently, the amount of coverage for liability for pollution, spillage and leakage available to us on commercially reasonable terms through protection and indemnity associations and providers of excess coverage is $1 billion per vessel per occurrence. We cannot assure you that we will be adequately insured against all risks. If insurance premiums increase, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our fleet. Additionally, our insurers may refuse to pay particular claims. Any significant loss or liability for which we are not insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, the loss of a vessel would adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.

Maritime claimants could arrest our tankers, which could interrupt charterers’ or our cash flow.
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against that vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lien-holder may enforce its lien by arresting a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt the charterers’ or our cash flow and require us to pay a significant amount of money to have the arrest lifted. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the vessel that is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert “sister ship” liability against one vessel in our fleet for claims relating to another vessel in our fleet.
Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency without adequate compensation which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
A government could requisition one or more of our vessels for title or for hire. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes her owner, while requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes her charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during periods of war or emergency, although governments may elect to requisition vessels in other circumstances. Although we would be entitled to compensation in the event of a requisition of one or more of our vessels, the amount and timing of payment would be uncertain. Government requisition of one or more of our vessels may negatively impact our revenues and reduce the amount of cash we have available for distribution as dividends to our stockholders.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR CAPITAL STOCK
The market price of our common stock may be unpredictable and volatile.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate due to factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of other public companies in our industry, mergers and strategic alliances in the tanker industry, market conditions in the tanker industry, changes in government regulation, shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts, announcements concerning us or our competitors and the general state of the securities market. The tanker industry has been unpredictable and volatile. The market for common stock in this industry may be equally volatile. Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell any of our common stock you may have purchased at a price greater than or equal to the original purchase price.
Future sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and would be dilutive to existing shareholders.
The market price of our common stock could decline due to sales of our shares in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. This could depress the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate, or at all. The sale of additional common stock would result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
The anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated bylaws may discourage a change of control.
Our amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions provide for:

| • | a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms, elected without cumulative voting;

| • | removal of directors only for cause and with the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the common stock issued and outstanding;

| • | advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at annual meetings;

21

Table of Contents

| • | a limited ability for stockholders to call special stockholder meetings; and

| • | board of directors authority to determine the powers, preferences and rights of our preferred stock and to issue the preferred stock without stockholder approval.

Our board of directors may, subject to its fiduciary duties under applicable law, choose to implement a shareholder rights plan in the future.
These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many stockholders. As a result, stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
We may not pay dividends in the future, and our dividend policy is subject to change at any time.
The timing and amount of future dividends for our common stock or preferred stock, if any, could be affected by various factors, including our earnings, financial condition and anticipated cash requirements; the loss of a vessel; the acquisition of one or more vessels; required capital expenditures; reserves established by our board of directors; increased or unanticipated expenses; including insurance premiums; a change in our dividend policy; increased borrowings; increased interest payments to service our borrowings; prepayments under credit agreements in order to stay in compliance with covenants in the secured credit facilities; repurchases of our securities that may be outstanding from time to time, future issuances of securities or the other risks described in this section of this report, many of which may be beyond our control. In addition, the tanker industry is highly volatile, and we cannot predict with certainty the amount of cash, if any, that will be available for distribution as dividends in any period. Furthermore, any new shares of common stock issued will increase the cash required to pay future dividends. Any common or preferred stock that may be issued in the future to finance acquisitions, upon exercise of stock options or other equity incentives, would have a similar effect, and may reduce our ability to pay future dividends.
In addition, our dividends are subject to change at any time at the discretion of our board of directors and our board of directors may elect to change our dividends by establishing a reserve for, among other things, the repayment of the secured credit facilities, repurchases of our securities that may be outstanding from time to time or to help fund the acquisition of a vessel. Our board of directors may also decide to establish a reserve to repay indebtedness if, as the maturity dates of our indebtedness approach, we are no longer able to generate cash flows from our operating activities in amounts sufficient to meet our debt obligations and it becomes clear that refinancing terms, or the terms of a vessel sale, are unacceptable or inadequate. If our board of directors were to establish such a reserve, the amount of cash available for dividend payments would decrease. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Marshall Islands”) law. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus, or if there is no surplus, from the net profits for the current and prior fiscal year, or while a company is insolvent or if a company would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such dividends. We may not have sufficient surplus or net profits in the future to pay dividends, and we can give no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future or the amounts of dividends which may be paid.
We are incorporated in the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law, a bankruptcy act or an insolvency act.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and by the Republic of the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or the “BCA.” The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the U.S. However, there have been few judicial cases in the Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA, and the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the laws of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in the U.S. Therefore, the rights of stockholders of the Marshall Islands may differ from the rights of stockholders of companies incorporated in the U.S. While the BCA provides that it is to be interpreted and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware and other U.S. states with substantially similar legislative provisions and that the non-statutory laws of the State of Delaware and other U.S. states with substantially similar legislative provisions are thereby declared to be and adopted as the laws of the Marshall Islands, there have been few court cases interpreting the BCA in the Marshall Islands. We cannot predict whether the Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions that any particular U.S. court would reach or has reached. Thus, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction which has developed a relatively more substantial body of case law.
22

Table of Contents
In addition, the Marshall Islands has neither a bankruptcy nor an insolvency act, and as a result, any bankruptcy action involving our company would have to be initiated outside the Marshall Islands, and our public stockholders may find it difficult or impossible to pursue their claims in such other jurisdictions.
Our amended and restated bylaws restrict stockholders from bringing certain legal action against our officers and directors and investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service of process and enforce judgments against us, our directors and our executive officers.
Our amended and restated bylaws contain a broad waiver by our stockholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or directors. The waiver applies to any action taken by an officer or director, or the failure of an officer or director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director. This waiver limits the right of stockholders to assert claims against our officers and directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud or dishonesty.
Additionally, our officers and most of our directors reside outside of the United States and our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to: (i) effect service of process within the United States upon the Manager or those directors and officers who are not residents of the United States; or (ii) realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.
Our reliance upon “foreign private issuer” exemptions may afford less protection to holders of our common shares.
We are a “foreign private issuer” or “FPI” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. In addition, as a foreign private issuer we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) applicable to U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance” for further details.
Changes to the definition of “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States could cause us to lose our FPI status and become subject to increased regulatory and reporting burdens.
On June 4, 2025, the SEC published a concept release soliciting public comment on whether to amend the eligibility criteria for FPI status, and on December 18, 2025, the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (the “HFIAA”) was enacted, which will require our directors and officers to comply with the share ownership and transaction reporting obligations of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act by March 18, 2026. The concept release outlines several potential approaches to narrow FPI eligibility, including updating the existing shareholder and business contacts tests, adding minimum non-U.S. trading volume requirements or requiring incorporation in jurisdictions with robust regulatory frameworks. If the SEC were to adopt any of these approaches, we may no longer qualify as an FPI and would become subject to similar regulatory and reporting requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Compliance with these additional requirements may require us to incur material additional costs.

RISKS RELATING TO TAXATION
Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could arise for U.S. stockholders.
A non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of “passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s assets are “passive assets,” or assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income.” “Passive income” includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.”
We believe it is more likely than not that the gross income derived from our transportation services or deemed to derive from our time chartering activities is properly treated as services income, rather than rental income. Assuming this is correct, our income from our time chartering activities would not constitute “passive income,” and the assets we own and operate in connection with the production of that income would not constitute passive assets. Consequently, based on our actual and projected income, assets and activities, we believe that it is more likely than not that we are not currently a PFIC and will not become a PFIC in the foreseeable future.
We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting the position that we are not a PFIC consisting of case law and U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters as services income for other tax purposes. Nonetheless, it should be noted that there is legal uncertainty in this regard because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has held that, for purposes of a different set of rules under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), income derived from certain time chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income. However, the IRS has stated that it disagrees with the holding of this Fifth Circuit case, and that income derived from time chartering activities should be treated as services income. We have not sought, and we do not expect to seek, an IRS ruling on this matter. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. No assurance can be given that this result will not occur. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid, to the extent possible, being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, no assurance can be given that the nature of our operations will not change in the future, or that we will be able to avoid PFIC status in the future.
If the IRS were to find that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year, our U.S. stockholders will face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. In particular, U.S. stockholders who are individuals would not be eligible for the current maximum 20% preferential tax rate on qualified dividends. In addition, under the PFIC rules, unless U.S. stockholders make certain elections available under the Code, such stockholders would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then-prevailing income tax rates on ordinary income upon the receipt of excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of our common stock, with interest payable on such tax liability as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the stockholder’s holding period of such stock. The current maximum 20% preferential tax rate for individuals would not be available for this calculation.
Our operating income could fail to qualify for an exemption from U.S. federal income taxation, which will reduce our cash flow.
Under the Code, 50% of our gross income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the U.S. is characterized as U.S. source gross transportation income and is subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax without allowance for any deductions, unless we qualify for exemption from such tax under Section 883 of the Code. Based on our review of the applicable United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) documents, we believe that we qualified for this statutory tax exemption in 2025 and we will take this position for U.S. federal income tax return reporting purposes.
However, there are factual circumstances that could cause us to lose the benefit of this tax exemption in the future, and there is a risk that those factual circumstances could arise in 2026 or future years. For instance, we might not qualify for this exemption if our common stock no longer represents more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote or of the total value of our outstanding stock. In addition, we might not qualify if holders of our common stock owning a 5% or greater interest in our stock were to collectively own 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock on more than half the days during the taxable year.
24

Table of Contents
If we are not entitled to this exemption for a taxable year, we would be subject in that year to a 4% U.S. federal income tax on our U.S. source gross transportation income. This could have a negative effect on our business and would result in decreased earnings available for distribution to our stockholders.
We may be subject to taxation in Norway, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and would subject dividends paid by us to Norwegian withholding taxes.
If we were considered to be a resident of Norway or to have a permanent establishment in Norway, all or a part of our profits could be subject to Norwegian corporate tax. We operate in a manner so that we do not have a permanent establishment in Norway and so that we are not deemed to reside in Norway, including by having our principal place of business outside Norway. The management functions below the board level are currently split between Monaco, Norway, Singapore and India. Our Monaco office holds senior management, our Norwegian office retains functions within finance, accounting, investor relations, chartering and operations, our Singapore office holds chartering, operations, newbuilding supervision, technical management and ship management services, and India provides additional ship management services. Material decisions regarding our business or affairs are made, and our board of directors meetings are held at our principal place of business (including telephonically, in the case of some board meetings). However, because one of our directors resides in Norway and we have entered into a management agreement with our Norwegian subsidiary, DHT Management AS, the Norwegian tax authorities may contend that we are subject to Norwegian corporate tax. If the Norwegian tax authorities make such a contention, we could incur substantial legal costs defending our position and, if we were unsuccessful in our defense, our results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in our defense against such a contention, dividends paid to our stockholders could be subject to Norwegian withholding taxes.
Recent income tax laws in Bermuda may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted its Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) Act 2023, which imposes a 15% income tax on companies with revenue in excess of €750 million for two of the four previous fiscal years. The CIT Act applies to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with a five-year deferred effective date for certain groups with a limited international footprint. Under current Bermuda law, the Company is not subject to any income or capital gains taxes in Bermuda. In addition, because the Company has not exceed the €750 million revenue threshold for at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding the current fiscal year, it is not subject to the CIT Act. As a result, no income tax is payable by the Company for the 2025 fiscal year, and we do not expect to be subject to income tax under the CIT Act unless our revenue exceeds the applicable threshold in future periods. Should the Company become subject to the CIT Act in the future, we may incur additional income tax which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

B. | BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We operate a fleet of crude oil tankers. As of March 13, 2026, our fleet consisted of 23 VLCC crude oil tankers (including two VLCCs that we have agreed to sell), all of which are wholly owned by DHT Holdings, Inc. In addition, the Company has contracted to build two new VLCCs at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in South Korea for delivery during the first half of 2026. VLCCs are tankers ranging in size from 270,000 to 320,000 dwt. As of the date of this report, 11 of our 23 vessels are on time charters and 12 vessels are operating in the spot market. The fleet operates globally on international routes. The 23 VLCCs currently in operation have a combined carrying capacity of 7,162,399 dwt and an average age of 10.1 years as of the date of this report.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Acquisition of VLCCs
In November 2025, the Company took delivery of the DHT Nokota, a VLCC built in 2018, which was acquired for $107 million. The vessel was built to a high specification by its current owner and is fitted with an exhaust gas cleaning system. The vessel was financed with available liquidity and proceeds of borrowings under a secured credit agreement with Nordea Bank Abp filial I Norge (“Nordea”).
In January 2026, the Company took delivery of a VLCC newbuilding from Hanwha Ocean, the DHT Antelope. The vessel was built to a high specification and is fitted with an exhaust gas cleaning system. The vessel was financed with available liquidity and proceeds of borrowings under a secured credit agreement with ING Bank N.V. (“ING”) and Nordea.
In March 2026, the Company took delivery of a VLCC newbuilding from Hanwha Ocean, the DHT Addax. The vessel was built to a high specification and is fitted with an exhaust gas cleaning system. The vessel was financed with available liquidity and proceeds of borrowings under a secured credit agreement with ING and Nordea.
Sale of Vessels
DHT Scandinavia was delivered to its new owner in January 2025. The vessel had no outstanding debt, and the Company booked a gain of $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 in connection with the sale.
In April 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the DHT Lotus and DHT Peony for a combined price of $103.0 million. Both vessels were built at Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co, China, in 2011.

SHIP MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
The following summary of the material terms of our ship management agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the ship management agreements.
Technical Management
The technical management for all our vessels is carried out by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goodwood (the “Technical Manager”). The Technical Manager is responsible for the technical operation and upkeep of the respective vessel, including crewing, maintenance, repairs and drydockings, maintaining required vetting approvals and relevant inspections, and for promoting vessel compliance with the requirements of classification societies as well as relevant governments, flag state, environmental and other regulations. The relevant vessel-owning subsidiary pays the actual cost associated with the technical management.
We will be required to obtain the consent of any applicable charterer and our lenders before we appoint a new manager; however, such consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

Table of Contents
Loss of Hire Insurance
We may obtain loss of hire insurance that will generally provide coverage against business interruption for periods of more than 60 days per incident (up to a maximum of 180 days per incident per year) following any loss under our hull and machinery policy (mechanical breakdown, grounding, collision or other incidence of damage that does not result in a total loss or constructive total loss of the vessel).
We place the insurance requirements related to the fleet with mutual clubs and underwriters through insurance brokers. Such requirements are, but are not limited to, marine hull and machinery insurance, protection and indemnity insurance (including pollution risks and crew insurance), war risk insurance, and when viewed as appropriate, loss of hire insurance. Each vessel subsidiary pays the actual cost associated with the insurance placed for the relevant vessel.

COMPETITION
The operation of tanker vessels and transportation of crude and petroleum products is highly competitive. We compete not only with other tanker owners, but also with fleets controlled by our customers. We primarily compete for charters on the basis of price; however, vessel condition, location, size, and age, in addition to our reputation as an operator, may impact our competitive position. Our competitive position may also be affected by price dislocation between other sizes of vessels or vessels consuming alternative fuel types that could enter the trades in which we engage.
SEASONALITY
We operate our vessels in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as a result, charter rates. Peaks in tanker demand quite often precede seasonal oil consumption peaks, as refiners and suppliers anticipate consumer demand. Historically, seasonal peaks in oil demand can broadly be classified into two main categories: (1) increased demand prior to Northern Hemisphere winters as heating oil consumption increases and (2) increased demand for gasoline prior to the summer driving season in the United States. Asia has emerged as the most important region for demand of oil and oil transportation. Seasonality in Asia differs from that of the United States; hence the historical seasonality has become less pronounced and less predictable. Unpredictable weather patterns and variations in oil inventories could disrupt tanker scheduling. Variations in regional economic activity and seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results, as the majority of our vessels trade in the spot market. However, to the extent that our vessels are chartered at fixed rates on a long-term basis, seasonal factors will not have a significant direct effect on our business.

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE
Our operations may be affected by a number of risks, including mechanical failure of the vessels, collisions, property loss to the vessels, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, the operation of any ocean-going vessel is subject to the inherent possibility of catastrophic marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental incidents, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade.
Our wholly owned subsidiaries are responsible for arranging the insurance of our vessels on terms in line with standard industry practice. We are responsible for the payment of premiums. Our wholly owned subsidiaries have arranged for marine hull and machinery and war risks insurance, which includes the risk of actual or constructive total loss, and protection and indemnity insurance with mutual assurance associations. Our wholly owned subsidiaries may also arrange for loss of hire insurance in respect of each of our vessels, subject to the availability of such coverage at commercially reasonable terms. Loss of hire insurance generally provides coverage against business interruption following any loss under our hull and machinery policy. Currently, we have obtained loss of hire insurance that generally provides coverage against business interruption for periods of more than 60 days (up to a maximum of 180 days) following any loss under our hull and machinery policy (mechanical breakdown, grounding, collision or other incidence of damage that does not result in a total loss of the vessel). Currently, the amount of coverage for liability for pollution, spillage and leakage available to us on commercially reasonable terms through protection and indemnity associations and providers of excess coverage is $1 billion per vessel per occurrence. Protection and indemnity associations are mutual marine indemnity associations formed by shipowners to provide protection from large financial loss to one member by contribution towards that loss by all members.
We believe that our anticipated insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us against the accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business and that we will maintain appropriate levels of environmental damage and pollution insurance coverage, consistent with standard industry practice. However, there is no assurance that all risks are adequately insured against, that any particular claims will be paid or that we will be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future following termination of the ship management agreements.
INSPECTION BY A CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY
Every commercial vessel’s hull and machinery is evaluated by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the vessel’s country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. Each vessel is inspected by a surveyor of the classification society in three surveys of varying frequency and thoroughness: every year for the annual survey, every two to three years for intermediate surveys and every four to five years for special surveys. Should any defects be found, the classification surveyor will issue a “recommendation” for appropriate repairs which have to be made by the shipowner within the time limit prescribed. Vessels may be required, as part of the annual and intermediate survey process, to be drydocked for inspection of the underwater portions of the vessel and for necessary repair stemming from the inspection. Special surveys always require drydocking, whereas intermediate surveys require drydocking from the fourth intermediate survey, typically when a vessel turns 17.5 years of age.
Each of our vessels has been certified as being “in class” by a member society of the International Association of Classification Societies, indicated in the table beginning on page 29 of this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Government regulation significantly affects the ownership and operation of our tankers. They are subject to international conventions and national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our tankers operate or are registered. Under our ship management agreements, the Technical Managers have assumed technical management responsibility for the vessels in our fleet, including responsibility for compliance with all government and other regulations. If our ship management agreements with the Technical Managers terminate, we would attempt to hire another party to assume this responsibility, which includes compliance with the regulations described herein and any costs associated with such compliance. However, in such event, we may be unable to hire another party to perform these and other services, and we may incur substantial costs to comply with environmental requirements.

Table of Contents
A variety of governmental and private entities subject our tankers to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard, harbor master or equivalent), classification societies, flag state administration (country of registry) and charterers, particularly terminal operators and oil companies. Certain entities also require us to obtain permits, licenses and certificates for the operation of our tankers. Failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend operation of one or more of our tankers. We believe that the heightened level of environmental and quality concerns among insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers is leading to greater inspection and safety requirements on all tankers. Increasing environmental concerns may create demand for tankers that conform to the stricter environmental standards. Under our ship management agreements, the Technical Managers are required to maintain operating standards for our tankers that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews and compliance with U.S. and international regulations. We believe that the operation of our vessels is currently in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations; however, because such laws and regulations are frequently changed and may impose increasingly stringent requirements, it is difficult to accurately predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements, or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful lives of our tankers. In addition, a future serious marine incident that results in significant oil pollution or otherwise causes significant adverse environmental impacts could result in additional legislation or regulation that could negatively affect our profitability.
International Maritime Organization
In September 1997, the IMO adopted MARPOL Annex VI to address air pollution from ships. Annex VI, which became effective in May 2005, sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas, known as emission control areas, or “ECAs,” to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. Currently, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, certain coastal areas of North America and the U.S. Caribbean Sea are designated ECAs. The Mediterranean Sea became an ECA as of May 1, 2024, with compliance obligations going into effect as of May 1, 2025. In July 2010, the IMO amendments to Annex VI regarding emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide particulate matter and ozone depleting substances came into effect. These standards seek to reduce air pollution from vessels by, among other things, establishing a series of progressive standards to further limit the sulfur content of fuel oil and by establishing new standards to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, with a more stringent “Tier III” emission limit applicable to engines installed on or after January 1, 2016. As of January 1, 2020, all ships are required under the rules applying to sulfur content (commonly referred to as “IMO 2020”) to comply with a lower global sulfur limit by using fuel with a sulfur content of 0.5% m/m, by using liquefied natural gas for fuel, or by installing an exhaust gas cleaning system. As a result, ships must either use Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) to comply with the limit or continue to use heavy fuel oil in combination with an exhaust gas cleaning system. The U.S. ratified the Annex VI amendments in 2008, thereby rendering its emissions standards equivalent to IMO requirements. Please see the discussion of the U.S. Clean Air Act under “U.S. Requirements” below for information on the ECA designated in North America and the Hawaiian Islands.
Under the International Safety Management Code, or “ISM Code,” promulgated by the IMO, the party with operational control of a vessel is required to develop an extensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and describing procedures for responding to emergencies. The Technical Managers will rely upon their respective safety management systems.
The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a safety management certificate for each vessel they operate. This certificate evidences compliance by a vessel’s management with code requirements for a safety management system. No vessel can obtain a certificate unless its operator has been awarded a document of compliance, issued by each flag state, under the ISM Code. All requisite documents of compliance have been obtained with respect to the operators of all our vessels and safety management certificates have been issued for all our vessels for which the certificates are required by the IMO. These documents of compliance and safety management certificates are renewed as required.

Table of Contents
Noncompliance with the ISM Code and other IMO regulations may subject the shipowner or charterer to increased liability, lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. For example, the U.S. Coast Guard and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code are prohibited from trading in U.S. and European Union ports. Many countries have ratified and follow the liability plan adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, or the “1969 Convention.” Some of these countries have also adopted the 1992 Protocol to the 1969 Convention, or the “1992 Protocol.” Under both the 1969 Convention and the 1992 Protocol, a vessel’s registered owner is strictly liable, subject to certain affirmative defenses, for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject to certain complete defenses. These conventions also limit the liability of the shipowner under certain circumstances to specified amounts that have been revised from time to time and are subject to exchange rates. In addition, the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, or BWM Convention, came into force in September 2017. The BWM Convention provides for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. As of the date of this report, all of our vessels have ballast water treatment systems installed.
The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Damage (the “Bunker Convention”), which became effective in November 2008, imposes strict liability on vessel owners for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention also requires registered owners of vessels over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance in specified amounts to cover liability for bunker fuel pollution damage. Each of our vessels has been issued a certificate attesting that insurance is in force in accordance with the Bunker Convention.
IMO regulations also require owners and operators of vessels to adopt Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plans, or “SOPEPs.” Periodic training and drills for response personnel and for vessels and their crews are required. In addition to SOPEPs, the Technical Managers have adopted Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plans for our vessels, which cover potential releases not only of oil but of any noxious liquid substances.
In June 2023, a sufficient number of contracting states ratified the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, which was initially adopted by the IMO in 2009. The Convention, which went into effect on June 26, 2025, introduces regulations covering the design, construction, operation and preparation of ships in order to facilitate recycling and the operation of ship recycling facilities and establishes an enforcement mechanism for ship recycling, incorporating certification and reporting requirements. Pursuant to the Convention, ships must have an Inventory of Hazardous Materials specific to each ship on board, which must be prepared and verified in line with IMO guidelines. In addition to that initial verification, ships will be subject to additional surveys during the life of the ship, and a final survey prior to recycling.
In 2022, the IMO amended MARPOL Annex I to prohibit the use of Heavy Fuel Oil, or “HFO,” in Artic waters, which came into force in July 2024. The amendment prohibits the use of oils having a density at 15°C higher than 900 kg/m3 or a kinematic viscosity at 50°C higher than 180 mm2/s. Parties to MARPOL with coastlines bordering Arctic waters may temporarily waive the requirements for ships flying their flags while operating in waters subject to that Party’s sovereignty or jurisdiction until July 1, 2029. Our vessels do not typically operate in Arctic waters; however, if they do enter these waters, they will be required to comply with this prohibition.
U.S. Requirements
The U.S. regulates the tanker industry with an extensive regulatory and liability regime for environmental protection and cleanup of oil spills, consisting primarily of the OPA, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or “CERCLA.” OPA affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade with the U.S., its territories or possessions, or whose vessels operate in the waters of the U.S., which include the U.S. territorial sea and the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone around the U.S. CERCLA applies to the discharge of hazardous substances (other than petroleum) whether on land or at sea. Both OPA and CERCLA impact our business operations.
Under OPA, vessel owners, operators and bareboat or demise charterers are “responsible parties” who are liable, without regard to fault, for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages, including property and natural resource damages and economic loss without physical damage to property, arising from oil spills and pollution from their vessels.
Per U.S. Coast Guard regulation, limits of liability under OPA are equal to the greater of $2,500 per gross ton or $21.5 million for any double-hull tanker, such as our vessels, that is over 3,000 gross tons (subject to periodic adjustment for inflation). CERCLA, which applies to owners and operators of vessels, contains a similar liability regime and provides for cleanup, removal and natural resource damages. Liability under CERCLA for a release or incident involving a release of hazardous substances is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5 million for vessels carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $0.5 million for any other vessel. These OPA and CERCLA limits of liability do not apply if an incident was directly caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations or by a responsible party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, refusal to report the incident or refusal to cooperate and assist in connection with oil removal activities.
33

Table of Contents
OPA specifically permits individual U.S. coastal states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for oil spills.
OPA also requires owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the limit of their potential strict liability under the Act. The U.S. Coast Guard has enacted regulations requiring evidence of financial responsibility consistent with the aggregate limits of liability described above for OPA and CERCLA. Under the regulations, evidence of financial responsibility may be demonstrated by insurance, surety bond, self-insurance, guaranty or an alternative method subject to approval by the Director of the U.S. Coast Guard National Pollution Funds Center. Under OPA regulations, an owner or operator of more than one tanker is required to demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility for the entire fleet in an amount equal only to the financial responsibility requirement of the tanker having the greatest maximum strict liability under OPA and CERCLA. The Technical Managers have provided the requisite guarantees and received certificates of financial responsibility from the U.S. Coast Guard for each of our tankers that are required to have one.
We have arranged insurance for each of our tankers with pollution liability insurance in the amount of $1 billion. However, a catastrophic spill could exceed the insurance coverage available, in which event there could be a material adverse effect on our business and on the Technical Managers’ business, which could impair the Technical Managers’ ability to manage our vessels.
OPA also amended the federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act (the “CWA”), to require owners and operators of vessels to adopt vessel response plans for reporting and responding to oil spill scenarios up to a “worst case” scenario and to identify and ensure, through contracts or other approved means, the availability of necessary private response resources to respond to a “worst case discharge.” In addition, periodic training programs and drills for shore and response personnel and for vessels and their crews are required. Vessel response plans for our tankers operating in the waters of the U.S. have been approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard has proposed similar regulations requiring certain vessels to prepare response plans for the release of hazardous substances.
The CWA prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly-issued permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages. Furthermore, most U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted laws that impose strict liability for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law.
The EPA regulates the discharge of ballast water and other substances in U.S. waters under the CWA. Effective February 6, 2009, EPA regulations require vessels 79 feet in length or longer (other than commercial fishing and recreational vessels) to comply with a Vessel General Permit, or “VGP,” authorizing ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the operation of vessels. The VGP requires owners and operators to comply with a range of best management practices, reporting requirements and other standards for a number of vessel discharges. The current VGP, which became effective in December 2013, contains stringent requirements, including numeric ballast water discharge limits (that generally align with the most recent U.S. Coast Guard standards issued in 2012), requirements to ensure ballast water treatment systems are functioning correctly, and stringent limits for oil to sea interfaces and exhaust gas cleaning system wastewater. Vessels calling U.S. ports have been required to have Coast Guard approved ballast water management systems installed by their first regular drydocking since January 2016, with few exceptions. The 2013 VGP was originally effective through December 2018, and was amended by the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, or “VIDA,” enacted on December 4, 2018, required the EPA and Coast Guard to develop new performance standards and enforcement regulations and extends the 2013 VGP provisions until new regulations become final and enforceable. On October 9, 2024, the EPA published the final Vessel Incidental Discharge National Standards of Performance pursuant to VIDA, which set discharge standards that are as least as stringent as the VGP. These new standards will be made effective and enforceable through corresponding U.S. Coast Guard regulations, which must be promulgated within two years of the rule’s publication. Until the Coast Guard’s regulations are final and enforceable, vessels will continue to be subject to the existing discharge requirements under the VGP. U.S. Coast Guard regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, also impose mandatory ballast water management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering or operating in U.S. waters, including limits regarding ballast water releases.

The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 and 1990, or the CAA, requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants. Our vessels are subject to vapor control and recovery requirements for certain cargoes when loading, unloading, ballasting, cleaning and conducting other operations in regulated port areas and emission standards for so-called Category 3 marine diesel engines operating in U.S. waters. In April 2010, the EPA adopted new emission standards for Category 3 marine diesel engines equivalent to those adopted in the amendments to Annex VI to MARPOL. The emission standards apply in two stages: near-term standards apply to engines constructed on or after January 1, 2011, and long-term standards, requiring an 80% reduction in nitrogen dioxides (NOx), apply to engines constructed on or after January 1, 2016. Compliance with these standards may cause us to incur costs to install control equipment on our vessels.
The CAA also requires states to draft State Implementation Plans, or SIPs, designed to attain national health-based air quality standards. Several SIPs regulate emissions resulting from vessel loading and unloading operations by requiring the installation of vapor control equipment. As indicated above, our vessels operating in covered port areas are already equipped with vapor recovery systems that satisfy these existing requirements. Under regulations that became effective in January 1, 2014, vessels sailing within 24 miles of the California coastline whose itineraries call for them to enter any California ports, terminal facilities, or internal or estuarine waters must use marine fuels with a sulfur content equal to or less than 0.1% m/m (1,000 ppm).
The IMO’s Maritime Environmental Protection Committee, or “MEPC,” has designated the area extending 200 miles from the U.S. and Canadian territorial sea baseline adjacent to the Atlantic/Gulf and Pacific coasts and the eight main Hawaiian Islands as an ECA under the MARPOL Annex VI amendments. As of January 1, 2015, fuel used by all vessels operating in the ECA cannot exceed 0.1% m/m sulfur. Effective January 1, 2016, NOx after-treatment requirements also apply. Additional ECAs include the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Caribbean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea became an ECA as of May 1, 2024, with compliance obligations going into effect on May 1, 2025. If other ECAs are approved by the IMO or other new or more stringent requirements relating to emissions from marine diesel engines or port operations by vessels are adopted by the EPA or the states where we operate, compliance with these regulations could entail significant capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.
European Union Tanker Restrictions
The European Union has adopted legislation that will: (1) ban manifestly sub-standard vessels (defined as those over 15 years old that have been detained by port authorities at least twice in a six-month period) from European waters and create an obligation of port states to inspect vessels posing a high risk to maritime safety or the marine environment; and (2) provide the European Union with greater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of negligent societies.
The European Union has implemented regulations requiring vessels to use reduced sulfur content fuel for their main and auxiliary engines. The EU Directive 2005/EC/33 (amending Directive 1999/32/EC) introduced parallel requirements in the European Union to those in MARPOL Annex VI in respect of the sulfur content of marine fuels. In addition, it has introduced a 0.1% m/m maximum sulfur requirement for fuel used by ships at berth in EU ports, effective January 1, 2010.
Greenhouse Gas Regulation
Concerns surrounding climate change may lead certain international or multinational bodies or individual countries to propose and/or adopt new climate change initiatives. For example, in 2015 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, adopted the Paris Agreement, an international framework with the intent of reducing global GHG emissions. In October 2016, the EU formally ratified the Paris Agreement, thus establishing its entry into force on November 4, 2016. Although the Paris Agreement does not require parties to the agreement to adopt emissions controls for the shipping industry, a new treaty or other applicable requirements could be adopted in the future that includes such restrictions.

Additionally, the MEPC has implemented two energy efficiency standards for new and currently operating vessels – the Energy Efficiency Design Index and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, which entered into force in January 2013. Effective January 1, 2018, the EU’s MRV Regulation requires all ships over 5,000 tons loading or unloading cargo or passengers in EU ports to monitor, report and verify their carbon dioxide emissions.
MEPC also finalized and adopted amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (“MARPOL”) Annex VI that will require ships to reduce their GHG emissions. These amendments combine technical and operational approaches to improve the energy efficiency of ships, and provide important building blocks for future GHG reduction measures. On November 1, 2022, carbon intensity measures came into force that require ships to calculate their EEXI, which indicates a ship’s efficiency compared to a specified baseline, and their annual operational CII and CII rating. The EEXI could require us to implement technical steps, such as power limitations or installations of technical features, to improve the energy efficiency of our ships. The CII rating is on a scale from A to E, with E as the lowest score. If our ships rate D for three consecutive years or E for a single year, we must develop corrective action plans to achieve the required annual operational CII. None of our ships have been rated as D for three consecutive years or E for a single year; thus, we have not been required to develop any corrective action plans. Such plans, if required, may include potentially significant capital expenditures and investments for existing ships to stay in compliance. The CII will be calculated annually and implemented as an operational carbon intensity measure to benchmark and improve efficiency. On January 1, 2023, it became mandatory for ships to calculate their EEXI and initiate the collection of data for reporting their CII and CII rating.
In 2018, the IMO adopted an initial GHG reduction strategy that established levels of ambition for shipping emissions reductions that are subject to ongoing reviews by the organization. In July 2023, the IMO adopted the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships, which builds upon the initial strategy’s levels of ambition. The revised levels of ambition include (1) further decreasing the carbon intensity from ships through improvement of energy efficiency; (2) reducing carbon intensity of international shipping; (3) increasing adoption of zero or near-zero emissions technologies, fuels, and energy sources; and (4) achieving net zero GHG emissions from international shipping. Furthermore, at its meeting in April 2025, MEPC 83 advanced mid-term GHG reduction measures to implement the IMO net-zero framework. These initiatives include a goal-based marine fuel standard, phasing in fuels with less GHG intensity and a global GHG emission pricing mechanism, and are scheduled for further consideration for adoption in October 2026. If adopted, it will potentially enter into force in 2028 with potential enforcement on vessels starting early 2029. These regulations could cause additional substantial expenses to be incurred.
In the EU, greenhouse gas emissions are regulated under the EU Emissions Trading System (the “EU ETS”), an EU-wide trading scheme that implements GHG emissions pricing. While the shipping industry had not been subject to the EU ETS in the past, in May 2023, EU ETS regulations were amended in order to include emissions from maritime transport activities in the EU ETS and to require the monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions of additional greenhouse gases and emissions from additional ship types. In January 2024, the EU ETS began to cover CO2 emissions from all large ships (of 5,000 gross tonnage and above) entering EU and European Economic Area (“EEA”) ports, and will apply to methane and nitrous oxide emissions beginning in 2026. Shipping companies will need to buy or receive allowances that correspond to the emissions covered by the system. Emissions from voyages and port calls within the EU and EEA will be fully accounted for in the EU ETS, while half of the emissions during voyages and port calls from and to non-EU countries will be covered. Under the gradual phase-in period introduced by the EU, shipping companies must surrender allowances corresponding to 70% of their covered emissions for 2025 and 100% of their covered emissions for 2026 and onwards.
As of January 2025, all large ships (of 5,000 gross tonnage and above) entering EU and EEA ports have to comply with the FuelEU Maritime Regulation (the “FuelEU”). FuelEU sets “well-to-wake” GHG emission intensity requirements for energy used on board. The GHG intensity requirement applies to 100% of energy used on voyages and port calls within the EU and EEA, and 50% of energy used on voyages into or out of the EU and EEA. The term “well-to-wake” refers to the entire process of fuel production, delivery and use onboard ships, and all emissions produced from such processes. The yearly average GHG intensity of energy used on board, measured as GHG emissions per energy unit (gCO2e/MJ), must be less than an applicable threshold. The GHG intensity threshold will be subject to a five-year percentage reduction with respect to a reference value, which is based on the average energy used onboard in 2020, reported in the EU Monitoring Reporting and Verification data of that year, which was 91.16 gCO2e/MJ.

In November 2024, the United Kingdom expanded the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, a GHG emissions pricing framework specific to the UK, to include GHG emissions from domestic maritime shipping activity. Beginning in 2026, the expansion will apply to ships of 5,000 gross tons or higher. While the current legislation applies only to domestic shipping and excludes international voyages calling at UK ports, the UK ETS Authority is currently consulting with stakeholders on the potential inclusion of international maritime voyages starting or ending in the UK. This proposed expansion, which could take effect from 2028, would subject such international voyages to the UK ETS carbon price on 50% of their emissions.
The U.S. has adopted regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from certain mobile and large stationary sources. Although these regulations do not apply to greenhouse gas emissions from ships, the EPA may regulate greenhouse gas emissions from ocean-going vessels in the future. Any adoption of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, EU, the U.S. or other countries or jurisdictions where we operate, or any treaty adopted or amended at the international level that restricts emissions of greenhouse gases, could require us to make significant financial expenditures or otherwise impact our vessels or their operation in ways that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.
VESSEL SECURITY REGULATIONS
A number of initiatives have been introduced to enhance vessel security. On November 25, 2002, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (the “MTSA”) was signed into law. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the U.S. Coast Guard issued regulations in July 2003 requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Similarly, in December 2002, amendments to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security. This new chapter came into effect in July 2004 and imposes various detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities, most of which are contained in the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code (the “ISPS Code”).
The ISPS Code requires vessels to develop and maintain a ship security plan that provides security measures to address potential threats to the security of ships or port facilities. Although each of our vessels is ISPS Code-certified, any failure to comply with the ISPS Code or maintain such certifications may subject us to increased liability and may result in denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. Furthermore, compliance with the ISPS Code requires us to incur certain costs. Although such costs have not been material to date, if new or more stringent regulations relating to the ISPS Code are adopted by the IMO and the flag states, these requirements could require significant additional capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations. Among the various requirements are:

| • | on-board installation of automatic information systems to enhance vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore communications;

| • | on-board installation of ship security alert systems;

| • | the development of ship security plans; and

| • | compliance with flag state security certification requirements.

The U.S. Coast Guard regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. vessels from MTSA vessel security measures; provided such vessels have on board a valid “International Ship Security Certificate” that attests to the vessel’s compliance with SOLAS security requirements and the ISPS Code. We have implemented the various security measures required by the IMO, SOLAS and the ISPS Code and have approved ISPS certificates and plans certified by the applicable flag state on board all our vessels.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The nature of our business, which involves the acquisition, chartering and ownership of our vessels, exposes us to the risk of lawsuits for damages or penalties relating to, among other things, personal injury, property casualty and environmental contamination. Under rules related to maritime proceedings, certain claimants may be entitled to attach charter hire payable to us in certain circumstances. There are no actions or claims pending against us as of the date of this report.

ITEM 5. | OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to these statements. Our actual results may differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements and such differences may be material.
BUSINESS
We currently operate a fleet of 23 VLCC crude oil tankers (including two VLCCs that we have agreed to sell), all of which are wholly owned by DHT Holdings, Inc. In addition, we have contracted with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries to build two new VLCCs for delivery during the first half of 2026. VLCCs are tankers ranging in size from 270,000 to 320,000 deadweight tons, or “dwt”. As of the date of this report, 11 of the vessels in our fleet are on time charters and 12 vessels are operating in the spot market. The fleet operates globally on international routes. The 23 VLCCs currently in operation have a combined carrying capacity of 7,162,399 dwt and an average age of 10.1 years as of the date of this report.
As of the date of this report, we are a party to a ship management agreements with one of our subsidiaries, the Technical Manager, who is generally responsible for the technical operation and upkeep of our vessels, including crewing, maintenance, repairs and drydockings, maintaining required vetting approvals and relevant inspections, and helping ensure our fleet compliance with the requirements of classification societies as well as relevant governments, flag states, environmental and other regulations. Under the respective ship management agreements, each vessel subsidiary pays the actual cost associated with the technical management and an annual management fee for the relevant vessel.
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The principal factors that affect our results of operations and financial condition include:

| • | with respect to vessels on charter, the charter rate that we are paid;

| • | with respect to vessels operating in the spot market, the revenues earned by such vessels and cost of bunkers;

| • | our vessels’ operating expenses;

| • | our insurance premiums and vessel taxes;

| • | the required maintenance capital expenditures related to our vessels;

| • | the required capital expenditures related to newbuilding orders;

| • | our ability to access capital markets to finance our fleet;

| • | our vessels’ depreciation and potential impairment charges;

| • | our general and administrative and other expenses;

| • | our interest expense including any interest swaps;

| • | any future vessel sales and acquisitions;

39

Table of Contents

| • | general market conditions when charters expire;

| • | general market fragmentation or consolidation of vessel ownership or operational control;

| • | fluctuations in the supply of and demand for oil transportation; and

| • | prepayments under our credit facilities to remain in compliance with covenants.

Our revenues are principally derived from time charter hire and by vessels operating in the spot market. Vessels operating on time charters for a certain period of time provide more predictable cash flows over that period of time, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot market generate revenues that are less predictable but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of improved rates. Freight rates are sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for oil transportation. Rates for the transportation of crude oil are determined by market forces, such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported and the number of vessels available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for oil transportation is affected by the state of the global economy and commercial and strategic inventory building of oil, among other things. The number of vessels is affected by the construction of new vessels, the retirement of existing vessels from service and, particularly in recent years, the number of vessels subject to sanctions. The tanker industry has historically been cyclical, experiencing volatility in freight rates, profitability and vessel values (refer to “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Industry”).
Our expenses consist primarily of voyage expenses, including primarily the cost of bunkers and port charges; vessel operating expenses, hereunder crew cost, maintenance expenses, spare parts, various consumables, insurance premium expenses; interest expense, financing expenses, depreciation expense, impairment charges, vessel taxes and general and administrative expenses.
With respect to vessels on time charters, the charterers generally pay us charter hire monthly, fully or partly, in advance. With respect to vessels operating in the spot market, our customers typically pay us the freight upon discharge of the cargo. We fund daily vessel operating expenses under our ship management agreements monthly in advance. We are required to pay interest under our secured credit facilities quarterly or semiannually in arrears, insurance premiums either annually or more frequently (depending on the policy) and our vessel taxes, registration dues and classification expenses annually.
MARKET OUTLOOK FOR 2026
Demand for oil and transportation of crude oil continue to grow. The market is impacted by geopolitical events and tensions that are causing strains on energy security and global trade. While we think it is impossible to present a clear and credible view on the outcome of current geopolitical events, we expect the resulting dynamics to include disruptions and less efficiencies, hence supportive of our business.
The global tanker fleet continues to rapidly age with limited new supply entering the market. The orderbook for supply of new ships is benign with some 22% of capacity scheduled for delivery over the coming five years. This is insufficient to replace the close to 50% of the fleet projected to be older than 15-years of age by the end of 2026. An increasing number of ships have been sanctioned by the United States, the UK and the EU, likely reducing transportation efficiencies, hence capacity. Further, regulations related to emissions from transportation work will increasingly constrain the productivity of the older part of the global fleet. Lastly, a fundamental shift in fleet ownership is taking place with fleet consolidation by private actors gaining meaningful traction. We expect the aggregators to control a significant part of the compliant tramping VLCC fleet – a critical market share. This consolidation will likely shift the pricing dynamics and put pressure on timely availability of ships. As end users increasingly are taking note of this trend, we anticipate rising interest from customers seeking to secure reliability – a reliability that could command a premium.
We believe our strategy continues to be well suited for the market that we operate in and is based on the following core principles:

■ | Our renowned business approach as an experienced organization with focus on first rate operations and customer service;

■ | Our transparent corporate structure maintaining a high level of integrity and corporate governance.

A. | OPERATING RESULTS

Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024
Income from Vessel Operations
Shipping revenues decreased by $70.6 million, or 12.4%, to $497.2 million in 2025 from $567.8 million in 2024. The decrease from 2024 to 2025 includes $40.1 million attributable to a decrease in total revenue days resulting from a smaller fleet size and $30.4 million attributable to lower revenue per day.
Other revenues for 2025 were $1.2 million compared to $3.9 million in 2024 and relate to technical management services provided. The decrease is due to a reduction in the fleet size for which the Company provides third-party technical management services.
Other income for 2025 was $1.0 million which related to the distribution of equity received from The Norwegian Shipowner’s Mutual War Risk Insurance Association. There was no other income for 2024.
The Company recorded a gain of $52.9 million in 2025 related to the sale of DHT Scandinavia, DHT Lotus and DHT Peony. There was no gain or loss related to sale of vessels in 2024.
Voyage expenses decreased by $51.5 million to $128.1 million in 2025 from $179.6 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly due to fewer vessels operating in the spot market during 2025 compared to 2024, which led to a reduction in voyage expenses. Specifically, bunker expenses decreased by $45.8 million, port expenses by $5.6 million and broker commission by $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in other voyage-related costs of $0.8 million.
Vessel operating expenses decreased by $5.6 million to $73.0 million in 2025 from $78.6 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly related to a reduction in operating days due to fewer vessels in the fleet during 2025 as compared to 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expenses, including depreciation of capitalized drydocking cost, decreased by $5.5 million to $106.4 million in 2025 from $111.9 million in 2024. The decrease was due to a decrease in vessel depreciation of $3.0 million and a decrease in depreciation of drydocking and exhaust gas cleaning systems of $2.4 million, due to fewer vessels in the fleet during 2025 as compared to 2024.
There was no reversal of prior impairment charges in 2025. Reversal of prior impairment charges totaled $27.9 million in 2024, due to strong market values during 2024 and triggered by the agreement to sell DHT Scandinavia in the fourth quarter of 2024. Please refer to “Item 5.E. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates” for a discussion of the key reasons for the reversal of prior impairment charges in 2024.
General and administrative expenses in 2025 were $19.9 million (of which $4.4 million was non-cash cost related to restricted share agreements for our management and board of directors), compared to $18.9 million in 2024 (of which $4.2 million was non-cash cost related to restricted share agreements for our management and board of directors).
General and administrative expenses for 2025 and 2024 include directors’ fees and expenses, the salary and benefits of our executive officers, legal fees, fees of independent auditors and advisors, directors and officers insurance, rent and miscellaneous fees and expenses.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Debt Issuance Cost
Net financial expenses were $13.6 million in 2025 compared to $28.6 million resulting from 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in interest expense of $16.2 million, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in interest income, both reflecting lower interest rates, and a non-cash loss of $0.2 million related to interest rate derivatives in 2025.
Year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023
For a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

B. | LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We operate in a capital-intensive industry. We fund our working capital requirements with cash from operations to cover our voyage expenses, operating expenses, payments of interest, payments of insurance premiums, payments of vessel taxes, the payment of principal under our secured credit facilities, capital expenses related to periodic maintenance of our vessels, payment of dividends, and securities repurchases. We collect our time charter hire from our vessels on charters monthly in advance and fund our estimated vessel operating costs monthly in advance. With respect to vessels operating in the spot market, the charterers typically pay us upon discharge of the cargo. We finance our vessel acquisitions, including newbuilding contracts, with a combination of cash generated from operations, existing liquidity, proceeds from sale of older vessels, debt secured by our vessels, and the sale of equity.
In March 2023, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2024 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 2,209,927 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $8.49 per share. In March 2024, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2025 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 1,481,383 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $8.89 per share. In March 2025, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2026 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2025, the Company did not repurchase or retire any shares of common stock. In March 2026, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2027 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. All shares of DHT common stock acquired by DHT are expected to be retired and restored to authorized but unissued shares.
Since 2023, we have paid the dividends set forth in the table below. The aggregate and per share dividend amounts set forth in the table below are not expressed in thousands. While dividends are intended to be paid in accordance with our dividend policy communicated at any given time, they are subject to the discretion of our board of directors, with the timing and amount potentially being affected by various factors, including our cash earnings, financial condition and cash requirements, the loss of a vessel, the acquisition of one or more vessels, required capital expenditures, reserves established by our board of directors, increased or unanticipated expenses, a change in our dividend policy, additional borrowings or future issuances of securities, many of which will be beyond our control. In September 2022, our board of directors revised the dividend policy to return 100% of our ordinary net income to shareholders in the form of quarterly cash dividends (refer to “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Capital Stock—We may not pay dividends in the future, and our dividend policy is subject to change at any time”).

Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024
Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, was $134.2 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $92.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in working capital in 2025 resulted from a decrease in current portion long-term debt of $39.1 million, an increase in assets held for sale of $17.8 million, an increase in prepaid expenses of $2.5 million, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in inventories of $13.0 million, an increase in deferred shipping revenues of $5.3 million and a decrease in capitalized voyage expenses of $0.8 million. We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. The cash and cash equivalents were $79.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $78.1 million at December 31, 2024.
In 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $276.7 million, net cash used in investing activities was $166.4 million, and net cash used in financing activities was $109.5 million.
In 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $276.7 million compared to $298.7 million in 2024, representing a decrease of $22.0 million. The decrease was due to a $30.2 million decrease in non-cash items included in net profit and a $21.3 million change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a net profit of $211.0 million in 2025 compared to a net profit of $181.5 million in 2024, an increase of $29.5 million. The following non-cash items, which do not directly impact the cash flow, explain the non-cash elements of the increase in net profit, a decrease of $52.9 million related to gain on sale of vessels in 2025 and a decrease of $5.5 million related to depreciation and amortization, partially offset by reversal of prior impairment charges of $27.9 million in 2024. Further, changes in operating assets and liabilities were $21.3 million and resulted from changes in accounts receivable and accrued revenues of $22.5 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $11.0 million and prepaid expenses of $8.8 million, partially offset by $16.9 million related to inventories, $3.5 million related to deferred shipping revenues and $0.7 million related to capitalized voyage expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $166.4 million in 2025 compared to $97.0 million in 2024. In 2025, investing activities related to investment in vessels under construction of $198.5 million and $111.5 million related to investment in vessels, partially offset by $143.5 million related to the sales of DHT Scandinavia, DHT Lotus and DHT Peony.
Net cash used in financing activities was $109.5 million in 2025 compared to $197.9 million in 2024. In 2025, financing activities related to $281.1 million related to the repayment of long-term debt, cash dividends paid of $118.9 million, $6.1 million related to acquisition of non-controlling interests and $1.4 million related to repayment principal element of lease liability, partially offset by $298.0 million related to issuance of long-term debt.
We had $428.7 million of total debt outstanding at December 31, 2025, compared to $409.4 million at December 31, 2024.
During 2026, seven of our vessels are scheduled to be drydocked and capital expenditures related to these drydockings are estimated to be $17.3 million. We plan to finance the planned maintenance capital expenditures through our internal financial resources.
Year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023

Table of Contents
Secured Credit Facilities
The following summary of the material terms of our secured credit facilities does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of our secured credit facilities. Because the following is only a summary, it does not contain all information that you may find useful.
Danish Ship Finance Credit Facility
In November 2014, the Company entered into a credit facility in the amount of $49.4 million to fund the acquisition of one of the VLCCs to be constructed at HHI through a secured term loan facility between and among Danish Ship Finance A/S (“Danish Ship Finance”), as lender, DHT Jaguar Limited, as borrower, and DHT Holdings, Inc., as guarantor (the “Danish Ship Finance Credit Facility”). The full amount of the Danish Ship Finance Credit Facility was borrowed in November 2015. In April 2020, we agreed to a $36.4 million refinancing with Danish Ship Finance. The refinancing was in direct continuation to the original loan, extending the final maturity to November 2025. Borrowings bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR + 2.00% and were repayable in 10 semiannual installments of $1.2 million each with a final payment of $24.3 million at final maturity. In October 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement in relation to the LIBOR cessation, and the credit facility bore interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 2.00%. In connection with the refinancing of the DHT Jaguar, the Danish Ship Finance Credit Facility was fully repaid in June 2025 for an aggregate of $25.5 million.
Credit Agricole Credit Facility
In November 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement between and among Credit Agricole Corporate And Investment Bank (“Credit Agricole”), as lender, DHT Tiger Limited as borrower, and DHT Holdings, Inc. as guarantor for a $37.5 million credit facility (the “Credit Agricole Credit Facility”) to refinance the outstanding amount under a credit agreement with Credit Agricole that financed DHT Tiger. Borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR + 2.05% and are repayable in 24 quarterly installments of $0.6 million from March 2023 to December 2028 and a final payment of $22.5 million in December 2028.
The Credit Agricole Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, a first-priority mortgage on DHT Tiger, a first-priority assignment of earnings, insurances and intercompany claims, a first-priority pledge of the balances of the borrower’s bank accounts and a first-priority pledge over the shares in the borrower. The Credit Agricole Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessel that secures the Credit Agricole Credit Facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain a value adjusted tangible net worth of $300 million, the value adjusted tangible net worth shall be at least 25% of the value adjusted total assets, unencumbered consolidated cash shall be at least the higher of (i) $30 million and (ii) 6% of our gross interest-bearing debt and DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall have working capital greater than zero. “Value adjusted” is defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessel (as determined quarterly by an approved broker). The Credit Agricole Credit Facility contains covenants that prohibit the borrower from, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness without the prior consent of the lender, permitting liens on assets, merging or consolidating with other entities or transferring all or any substantial part of their assets to another person.
Nordea Credit Facility
In May 2021, the Company entered into a new secured credit agreement with Nordea, ABN AMRO, Credit Agricole, DNB Bank ASA (“DNB”), Danish Ship Finance, ING and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (“SEB”), as lenders, several wholly owned special-purpose vessel-owning subsidiaries as borrowers, and DHT Holdings, Inc., as guarantor (the “Nordea Credit Facility”) for a $316.2 million credit facility with Nordea as agent.

Due to the uncertainty related to the market conditions for oil tankers, we can provide no assurances that our cash flow from the operations of our vessels will be sufficient to cover our vessel operating expenses, vessel capital expenditures, interest payments and contractual installments under our secured credit facilities, insurance premiums, vessel taxes, general and administrative expenses and other costs, and any other working capital requirements for the short term. Our longer-term liquidity requirements include increased repayment of the principal balance of our secured credit facilities. We may require new borrowings or issuances of equity or other securities to meet this repayment obligation. Alternatively, we can sell assets and use the proceeds to pay down debt.
MARKET RISKS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which could affect our results of operation and financial position. Borrowings under our secured credit facilities contain interest rates that fluctuate with the financial markets. Our interest expense is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates, particularly SOFR. As an indication of the extent of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, a one percentage point increase in SOFR would have increased our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 by $2.3 million based upon our debt level as of December 31, 2025. There were no material changes in market risk exposures from 2023 to 2025.

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed interest rates in order to economically hedge a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates. For more information on our interest rate swap agreements, refer to Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2025, included as Item 18 of this report.
Like most of the shipping industry, our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. All of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. dollars. The limited number of transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized. Expenses incurred in foreign currencies against which the U.S. dollar falls in value can increase, thereby decreasing our income or vice versa if the U.S. dollar increases in value.
We hold cash and cash equivalents mainly in U.S. dollars.

C. | Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

From time to time we incur expenditures relating to inspections for acquiring new vessels. Such expenditures are insignificant and are expensed as they are incurred. Time and resources spent to stay updated on technological developments, new regulations and market developments are expensed as general and administrative expenses.

D. | Trend Information

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Market Outlook for 2026.”

E. | Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements for the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments, and opinions of management. Following is a discussion of the accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and the methods of their application. For a complete description of all our material accounting policy information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2025, included as Item 18 of this report.
Depreciation
The Company estimates the average useful life of a vessel to be 20 years. The actual life of a vessel may be different, and the useful lives of the vessels are reviewed at fiscal year-end. New regulations, market deterioration or other future events could reduce the economic lives assigned to our vessels and result in higher depreciation expense and impairment losses in future periods. The carrying value of each vessel represents its original cost at the time it was delivered from the shipyard less depreciation calculated using an estimated useful life of 20 years from the date such vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard plus the cost of drydocking and the cost of the exhaust gas cleaning system less impairment, if any, or, as is the case with ships acquired in the second-hand market, its acquisition cost less depreciation calculated using an estimated useful life of 20 years. The depreciation per day is calculated based on a vessel’s original cost less a residual value which is equal to the product of such vessel’s lightweight tonnage and an estimated scrap rate per ton.

Value in use and Fair value less cost of disposal
A vessel’s recoverable amount is the higher of the vessel’s fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. Each of the Company’s vessels have been viewed as a separate CGU as the vessels have cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets and therefore can be subject to a value in use analysis. In instances where a vessel is considered impaired, it is written down to its recoverable amount. Given the significance of these assets to our financial reporting, an impairment charge and/or reversal of previously recognized impairments could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting. Management continuously monitors both external and internal factors to determine if there are indicators that the vessels may be impaired or, in case of previously recognized impairment, that there are indicators that this may be reversed. The factors evaluated in the assessment include the carrying amount of net assets compared to market capitalization and the market value of our vessels based on broker estimates. In addition, the Company assess other relevant factors, such as changes in market rates affecting its weighted average cost of capital, the impact of any changes in the technological, market, economic, or legal environment in which it operates, and changes in forecasted charter rates. The Company also considers whether there is any evidence of asset obsolescence or physical damage, whether the Company has plans to dispose of an asset earlier than previously expected, and whether there is any indication that the economic performance of an asset has been, or will be, worse than expected. To the extent it is determined that indicators of impairment and/or reversal of previously recognized impairment exist, the value in use is estimated for the respective vessels. A reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is recorded only to the extent there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset, either from use or sale.
Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential indicators of impairment or reversal of prior impairment are reasonable and appropriate at the time they were made, such assumptions are highly subjective and could change, possibly materially, in the future.
This also applies to assumptions used to evaluate impairment charges or reversal of prior year impairment charges. Reasonable changes in the assumptions for the discount rate or future charter rates could lead to a value in use for some of our vessels that is higher than, equal to or less than the carrying amount for such vessels. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their current levels or whether or when they will change by any significant degree. Charter rates may decline significantly from current levels, which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability and future assessments of vessel impairment.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. The Company reversed all historical impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. However, indicators of reversal of prior impairment were identified.
The Company identified indicators of reversal due to the continued strong market values and triggered by the agreement to sell DHT Scandinavia in the fourth quarter of 2024. According to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, the increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. As a result, the Company reversed prior impairment charges totaling $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, including $1.2 million related to DHT Scandinavia.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded there were no indicators of impairment or reversal of prior impairment.

1 | Carrying value does not include value of time charter contracts. In December 2025, the Company agreed to the sale of DHT China and DHT Europe, and the vessels are presented as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2025.

2 | Estimated charter-free fair market value is provided for informational purposes only. These estimates are based solely on third-party broker valuations as of the reporting date and may not represent the price we would receive upon sale of the vessel. They have been provided as a third party’s indicative estimate of the sales price less cost to sell which we could expect, if we decide to sell one of our vessels, free of any charter arrangement. Management uses these broker valuations in calculating compliance with debt covenants. Management also uses them as one consideration point in determining if there are indicators of impairment. In connection with the vessels’ increasing age and market development, a decline in market value of the vessels could take place in 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, all of our vessels had charter-free fair market value above their carrying value. The aggregate carrying value of vessels having charter-free market values that exceed their respective carrying values was $1,124.4 million, and the aggregate charter-free fair market value of such vessels was $1,961.0 million. Please see our risk factor under the heading “Vessel values may be depressed at a time when we sell a vessel, when our subsidiaries are required to make a repayment under the secured credit facilities or when the secured credit facilities mature, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to refinance the secured credit facilities” in Item 3.D of this report for a discussion of additional risks relating to fair market value in assessing the value of our vessels. For additional information, refer to Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2025, included as Item 18 of this report.

Incentive Compensation Plan
We currently maintain one equity compensation plan, the 2025 Plan. The 2025 Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting on June 12, 2025.
The 2025 Plan was established to promote the interests of the Company and our stockholders by (i) attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors (including prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors) and (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of our Company. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan is 3,000,000. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that have been granted under the 2025 Plan is 380,000, which does not include shares with respect to non-vested awards.
The following description of the 2025 Plan is qualified by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
Awards
The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, or “ISOs,” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-statutory stock options, or “NSOs,” restricted share awards, restricted stock units, or “RSUs,” cash incentive awards, dividend equivalents and other equity-based or equity-related awards.
Plan administration
The 2025 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors or such other committee as our board of directors may designate to administer the 2025 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2025 Plan and applicable law, the compensation committee has sole and plenary authority to administer the 2025 Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to (i) designate participants, (ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant, (iii) determine the number of shares of our common stock to be covered by awards, (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards, including vesting schedules and performance criteria, (v) amend or replace an outstanding award in response to changes in tax law or unforeseen tax consequences of such awards and (vi) make any other determination and take any other action that the compensation committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2025 Plan.
53

Table of Contents
Shares available for awards
Subject to adjustment as provided below, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan is 3,000,000. If an award granted under the 2025 Plan is forfeited, or otherwise expires, terminates or is canceled without the delivery of shares, then the shares covered by such award will again be available to be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2025 Plan.
In the event of any corporate event affecting the shares of our common stock, the compensation committee in its discretion may make such adjustments and other substitutions to the 2025 Plan and awards under the 2025 Plan as it deems equitable or desirable in its sole discretion.
Amendment and termination of the 2025 Plan
Subject to any government regulation and to the rules of the NYSE or any successor exchange or quotation system on which shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted, the 2025 Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders, except that stockholder approval will be required for any amendment that would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for awards under the 2025 Plan or increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2025 Plan or (ii) modify the requirements for participation under the 2025 Plan. No modification, amendment or termination of the 2025 Plan that is adverse to a participant will be effective without the consent of the affected participant, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee in the applicable award agreement.
The compensation committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate any award previously granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided in the 2025 Plan or by the compensation committee in the applicable award agreement, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely impair the rights of any participant to any award previously granted will not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected participant, holder or beneficiary.
Change of control
The 2025 Plan provides that, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, in the event we experience a change of control (as defined in the 2025 Plan), unless provision is made in connection with the change of control for assumption for, or substitution of, awards previously granted:

| • | all options outstanding as of the date the change of control is determined to have occurred will become fully exercisable and vested as of immediately prior to the change of control;

| • | all outstanding restricted shares that are still subject to restrictions on forfeiture will become fully vested and all restrictions and forfeiture provisions related thereto will lapse as of immediately prior to the change in control;

| • | all cash incentive awards will be paid out as if the date of the change of control were the last day of the applicable performance period and “target” performance levels had been attained; and

| • | all other outstanding awards will automatically be deemed exercisable or vested and all restrictions and forfeiture provisions related thereto will lapse as of immediately prior to such change of control.

54

Table of Contents
Unless otherwise provided pursuant to an award agreement, a “change of control” is defined to mean any of the following events, generally:

| • | the consummation of a merger, reorganization or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets;

| • | the approval by our stockholders of a plan of our complete liquidation or dissolution; or

| • | an acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Term of the 2025 Plan
No award may be granted under the 2025 Plan after June 12, 2028, the third anniversary of the date the 2025 Plan was approved by our stockholders.

Table of Contents
Subject to the discussion of the IRA below, our major stockholders generally have the same voting rights as our other stockholders. To our knowledge, no corporation or foreign government or other natural or legal person(s) owns more than 50% of our outstanding stock. We are not aware of any arrangements, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control. As of March 13, 2026, we had 20 shareholders of record, 17 of which were located in the U.S. and held an aggregate of 160,995,387 of our common shares, representing 99.97% of our outstanding common shares. However, one of the U.S. shareholders of record is CEDE & CO., a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, which held 160,976,334 of our common shares as of March 13, 2026. Accordingly, we believe that the shares held by CEDE & CO. include common shares beneficially owned by both holders in the U.S. and non-U.S. beneficial owners.
Investor Rights Agreement (“IRA”)
We granted BW Group, as a significant minority investor in DHT, certain minority rights under the IRA. BW Group also agreed under the IRA to take certain actions consistent with a minority position and accept certain limitations on its rights as a shareholder. On November 19, 2019, BW Group sold 14,680,880 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.90 per share (the “BW Group Offering”), after which BW Group held 23.3% of the total voting power of DHT capital stock and owned 72% of the aggregate number of shares that BW Group received as consideration under the Vessel Acquisition Agreement, dated March 23, 2017 (the “VAA”). As a result, the standstill on BW Group, which was in effect until BW Group no longer held 25% of the total voting power of DHT voting stock, has expired (the “Standstill Expiration”) and certain rights and obligations of and restrictions upon BW Group and its controlled affiliates under the IRA have been terminated. As of the date of this report, BW Group no longer held 10% of the total voting power of DHT voting stock. Accordingly, the majority of the remaining rights under the IRA have since been terminated. The provisions that remain in effect are, in each case, described below.
Non-Coercive Offers
The BW Group and its controlled affiliates are permitted, after a minimum of 45 days of review, consultation and good faith negotiation with our board of directors, to make a “Non-Coercive Offer” to our shareholders. As defined in the IRA, a Non-Coercive Offer is an offer to acquire all of our outstanding common stock subject to certain parameters, including that such offer must (i) not be subject to any financing condition, (ii) comply with applicable securities laws, (iii) be for consideration that is in the form of cash or of shares of capital stock of an entity publicly traded on the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market with an aggregate public float equal to or greater than that of our outstanding common stock (excluding shares held by BW Group, its controlled affiliates or any 13D group to which any of them belongs), or a combination thereof, (iv) be for a premium of at least 15% to the per share volume-weighted average price of shares of our common stock as displayed under the heading VWAP Bloomberg on Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, a successor service to be reasonably agreed) for the 10 trading days most recently ended immediately prior to the opening of the third trading day prior to the earliest of (X) the public announcement of such offer, (Y) the public announcement of an intention to commence such offer and (Z) the communication of such offer to our board of directors by BW Group, (v) be held open for a minimum of 45 days and (vi) include a minimum tender condition of at least 50% of our outstanding common stock not owned by BW Group, its controlled affiliates or any 13D group to which any of them belongs.
Transfer Limitations
The IRA prohibits BW Group from transferring shares of voting DHT capital stock outside of BW Group and its controlled affiliates without the prior written consent of DHT if, to BW Group’s knowledge, the acquiring party would beneficially own 15% or more of the voting power of all DHT capital stock as a result of the transfer, except in the case of a tender or exchange offer for shares of DHT capital stock that our board of directors has not recommended that shareholders reject. The transfer limitations remain in effect under the IRA following the BW Group Offering.

Under rules related to maritime proceedings, certain claimants may be entitled to attach charter hire payable to us in certain circumstances. There are no actions or claims pending against us as of the date of this report.

8. | DIVIDENDS

DHT intends to return 100% of its ordinary net income to shareholders in the form of quarterly cash dividends (refer to “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Capital Stock—We may not pay dividends in the future, and our dividend policy is subject to change at any time”).
59

Table of Contents
The timing and amount of dividend payments will be determined by our board of directors and could be affected by various factors, including our cash earnings, financial condition and cash requirements, the loss of a vessel, the acquisition of one or more vessels, required capital expenditures, reserves established by our board of directors, increased or unanticipated expenses, a change in our dividend policy, additional borrowings or future issuances of securities, many of which will be beyond our control.
The dividends paid related to the four quarters of 2023 amounted to $0.23, $0.35, $0.19 and $0.22 per share of common stock, respectively. The dividends paid related to the four quarters of 2024 amounted to $0.29, $0.27, $0.22 and $0.17 per share of common stock, respectively. The dividends paid related to the four quarters of 2025 amounted to $0.15, $0.24, $0.18 and $0.41 per share of common stock, respectively.
Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend. We do not expect to pay any income taxes in the Marshall Islands. We also do not expect to pay any income taxes in the U.S. Please see the sections of this report entitled “Item 10.E. Additional Information—Taxation.”

B. | ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

The following is a description of the material terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that are currently in effect. Because the following is only a summary, it does not contain all information that you may find useful. For more complete information you should read our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each listed as an exhibit to this report.
PURPOSE
Our purpose, as stated in Article II of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the BCA. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not impose any limitations on the ownership rights of our stockholders.
We are registered in the Marshall Islands at the Registrar of Corporations for non-resident corporations, under registration number 39572.
AUTHORIZED CAPITALIZATION
Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2025, we had 160,799,407 shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 13, 2026, we had 161,041,637 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of any class of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2025, neither we nor our subsidiaries held any shares of common stock or any shares of any series of preferred stock.
In March 2023, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2024 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 2,209,927 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $8.49 per share. In March 2024, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2025 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 1,481,383 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $8.89 per share. In March 2025, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2026 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. In 2025, the Company did not repurchase or retire any shares of common stock In March 2026, our board of directors approved a repurchase through March 2027 of up to $100 million of DHT securities through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any shares of DHT common stock acquired by DHT will be available for reissuance.
Description of Common Stock
The rights of our stockholders are set forth in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as the BCA. Amendments to our amended and restated articles of incorporation generally require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote. Amendments to our amended and restated bylaws require the affirmative vote of a majority of our entire board of directors.
Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive ratably all dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of common stock do not have conversion, redemption or preemptive rights to subscribe to any of our securities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock which we have issued or may issue in the future. Our common stock is not subject to any sinking fund provisions and no holder of any shares will be required to make additional contributions of capital with respect to our shares in the future. There are no provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws discriminating against a stockholder because of his or her ownership of a particular number of shares.
61

Table of Contents
We are not aware of any limitations on the rights to own our common stock, including rights of non-resident or foreign stockholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our common stock, imposed by foreign law or by our amended and restated articles of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws.
Description of Preferred Stock
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of that series, including:

| • | the designation of the series;

| • | the number of shares of the series;

| • | the preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series; and

| • | the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series.

DIRECTORS
Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote. There is no provision for cumulative voting.
Section 5.01 of our amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that our board of directors must consist of not less than three nor more than twelve members, the exact number of directors comprising the entire board of directors as determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors. Stockholders may change the number of directors only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that no contract or transaction between us and a director, or one in which a director has a financial interest, is void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director is present at or participates in a board of directors meeting or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her vote is counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, or, if the votes of the disinterested directors are insufficient to constitute an act of the board of directors as defined in Section 55 of the BCA, by unanimous vote of the disinterested directors; (ii) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to us as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.
Our board of directors may, in its discretion, fix the amounts which shall be payable to members of the DHT board of directors and to members of any committee, for attendance at the meetings of the board of directors or of such committee and for services rendered to the Company.
STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS
Under our amended and restated bylaws, annual stockholder meetings will be held at a time and place selected by our board of directors. The meetings may be held in or outside of the Marshall Islands. Special meetings may be called by stockholders holding not less than one-fifth of all the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting. Our board of directors may set a record date between 15 and 60 days before the date of any meeting to determine the stockholders that will be eligible to receive notice and vote at the meeting.

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL AND PAYMENT
Under the BCA, our stockholders have the right to dissent from various corporate actions, including any merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets not made in the usual course of our business, and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. In the event of any further amendment of our articles of incorporation, a stockholder also has the right to dissent and receive payment for his or her shares if the amendment alters certain rights in respect of those shares. The dissenting stockholder must follow the procedures set forth in the BCA to receive payment. In the event that we and any dissenting stockholder fail to agree on a price for the shares, the BCA procedures involve, among other things, the institution of proceedings in the High Court of the Marshall Islands or in any appropriate court in any jurisdiction in which our shares are primarily traded on a local or national securities exchange.
STOCKHOLDERS’ DERIVATIVE ACTIONS
Under the BCA, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action; provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of common stock both at the time the derivative action is commenced and at the time of the transaction to which the action relates.
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The BCA authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Our amended and restated bylaws include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs) to our directors and officers and carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Several provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are summarized below, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these anti-takeover provisions, which are summarized below, could also discourage, delay or prevent (1) the merger or acquisition of our Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise that a stockholder may consider in its best interest or (2) the removal of incumbent officers and directors.

Issuance of Capital Stock
Under the terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and the laws of the Marshall Islands, our board of directors has authority, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue any remaining authorized shares of blank check preferred stock and any remaining authorized shares of our common stock. Our board of directors may issue shares of preferred stock on terms calculated to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or the removal of our management.
Classified Board of Directors
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for the division of our board of directors into three classes of directors, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered, three-year terms. Approximately one-third of our board of directors will be elected each year. This classified board provision could discourage a third party from making a tender offer for our shares or attempting to obtain control of us. It could also delay stockholders who do not agree with the policies of our board of directors from removing a majority of our board of directors for two years.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our amended and restated bylaws require parties other than the board of directors to give advance written notice of nominations for the election of directors. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation also provide that our directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote for those directors. These provisions may discourage, delay or prevent the removal of incumbent officers and directors. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that stockholders are required to give us advance notice of any person they wish to propose for election as a director if that person is not proposed by our board of directors. These advance notice provisions provide that the stockholder must have given written notice of such proposal not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual general meeting. In the event the annual general meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be given not later than 10 days following the earlier of the date on which notice of the annual general meeting was mailed to stockholders or the date on which public disclosure of the date of the annual general meeting was made.
In the case of a special general meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, notice by the stockholder must be given not later than 10 days following the earlier of the date on which notice of the special general meeting was mailed to stockholders or the date on which public disclosure of the date of the special general meeting was made. Any nomination not properly made will be disregarded.
A director may be removed only for cause by the stockholders, provided notice is given to the director of the stockholders meeting convened to remove the director and provided such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote for those directors. The notice must contain a statement of the intention to remove the director and must be served on the director not less than fourteen days before the meeting. The director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his removal.
Limited Actions by Stockholders
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by the unanimous written consent of our stockholders. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that, subject to certain exceptions, our chairman or chief executive officer, at the direction of the board of directors or holders of not less than one-fifth of all outstanding shares, may call special meetings of our stockholders and the business transacted at the special meeting is limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Accordingly, a stockholder may be prevented from calling a special meeting for stockholder consideration of a proposal over the opposition of our board of directors and stockholder consideration of a proposal may be delayed until the next annual meeting.
TRANSFER AGENT
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC.

COMPARISON OF REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS CORPORATE LAW TO DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW
Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and by the BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the U.S. For example, the BCA allows the adoption of various anti-takeover measures such as stockholder “rights” plans. While the BCA also provides that it is to be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, there have been few court cases interpreting the BCA in the Marshall Islands and we cannot predict whether Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions as U.S. courts. Thus, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling stockholders than would stockholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction which has developed a substantial body of case law. The following table provides a comparison between the statutory provisions of the BCA and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to stockholders’ rights.

E. | TAXATION

REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following are the material Marshall Islands tax consequences of our activities to us and holders of our common stock or preferred stock. We are incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Under current Marshall Islands law, we are not subject to tax on income or capital gains, and no Marshall Islands withholding tax will be imposed upon payments of dividends by us to holders of our common stock or preferred stock.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment decision with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock and preferred stock. This discussion does not purport to deal with the tax consequences to all categories of investors, some of which (such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, persons holding our common stock or preferred stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, certain U.S. expatriates, persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to debt securities as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, persons who are investors in pass-through entities, persons required to recognize any item of gross income as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, dealers in securities or currencies and investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special rules.
67

Table of Contents
This discussion is based on the Code, the Treasury regulations issued thereunder, published administrative interpretations of the IRS and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly on a retroactive basis.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE OVERALL TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING IN YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATION UNDER U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN LAW OF THE OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Taxation of Our Operating Income
Our subsidiaries have elected to be treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, for purposes of the discussion below, our subsidiaries are treated as branches rather than as separate corporations.
U.S. Taxation of Our Shipping Income
For purposes of the following discussion, “shipping income” means any income that is derived from the use of vessels, from the hiring or leasing of vessels for use on a time, voyage or bareboat charter basis, from the participation in a pool, partnership, strategic alliance, joint operating agreement, code sharing arrangement or other joint venture we directly or indirectly own or participate in that generates such income, or from the performance of services directly related to those uses.
“U.S. source gross transportation income” includes 50% of shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the U.S. Except as discussed below, our U.S. source gross transportation income would be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax imposed without allowance for deductions. Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. ports generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Under Section 883 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, we will be exempt from the 4% U.S. federal income tax if:

1. | we are organized in a foreign country (the “country of organization”) that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the U.S.; and

2. | either:

| (A) | more than 50% of the value of our stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by individuals who are “residents” of our country of organization or of another foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the U.S., referred to as the “50% Ownership Test,” or

| (B) | our stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in our country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to U.S. corporations or in the U.S., referred to as the “Publicly Traded Test.”

The Marshall Islands, the jurisdiction where we are incorporated, grants an “equivalent exemption” to U.S. corporations. Therefore, we will be eligible for the exemption under Section 883 of the Code if either the 50% Ownership Test or the Publicly Traded Test is met. As of the date hereof, our common stock is the only class of our stock that is outstanding. Because our common stock is traded on the NYSE and our stock is widely held, it would be difficult or impossible for us to establish that we satisfy the 50% Ownership Test.
68

Table of Contents
As to the Publicly Traded Test, the regulations under Section 883 of the Code provide, in pertinent part, that stock of a foreign corporation will be considered to be “primarily traded” on an established securities market in a country if the number of shares of each class of stock that is traded during any taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares in each such class that is traded during that year on established securities markets in any other single country. We believe that our common stock is, and will continue to be, “primarily traded” on the NYSE, which is an established securities market for these purposes.
The Publicly Traded Test also requires our common stock to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE, and, as of the date hereof, is the only class of our outstanding stock. Our common stock will be treated as “regularly traded” on the NYSE for purposes of the Publicly Traded Test if:

| (i) | our common stock represents more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote and of the total value of all of our outstanding stock, referred to as the “trading threshold test”;

| (ii) | our common stock is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year or 1/6 of the days in a short taxable year, referred to as the “trading frequency test”; and

| (iii) | the aggregate number of shares of our common stock traded on such market during the taxable year is at least 10% of the average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during such year (as appropriately adjusted in the case of a short taxable year), referred to as the “trading volume test.”

We satisfy the trading threshold test. We believe we satisfy, and will continue to satisfy, the trading frequency and trading volume tests. However, even if we do not satisfy these tests in the future, both tests are deemed satisfied if our common stock is traded on an established securities market in the U.S. and is regularly quoted by dealers making a market in such stock. Because our common stock is listed on the NYSE, we believe this is and will continue to be the case.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our common stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of such stock is owned, actually or constructively under certain stock attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the vote and value of such stock, referred to as the “5 Percent Override Rule.” In order to determine the persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of the vote and value of our common stock (“5% Stockholders”), we are permitted to rely on those persons that are identified on Schedule 13G and Schedule 13D filings with the SEC as having a 5% or more beneficial interest in our common stock. In addition, an investment company identified on a Schedule 13G or Schedule 13D filing which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, will not be treated as a 5% Stockholder for such purposes.
We believe that the 5 Percent Override Rule has not been triggered with respect to our common stock. However, the 5 Percent Override Rule might be triggered in the future as a result of factual circumstances beyond our control, for example, if one or more stockholders became a 5% Stockholder and 5% Stockholders collectively own 50% or more of our common stock. In this case, the 5 Percent Override Rule will nevertheless not apply if we can establish that, among the closely held group of 5% Stockholders, there are sufficient 5% Stockholders that are considered to be “qualified stockholders” for purposes of Section 883 of the Code to preclude non-qualified 5% Stockholders in the closely held group from owning 50% or more of the value of our common stock for more than half the number of days during the taxable year. In any year that the 5 Percent Override Rule is triggered with respect to our common stock, we will be eligible for the exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code only if (i) we can nevertheless satisfy the Publicly Traded Test, which would require us to show that the exception to the 5 Percent Override Rule applies, as described above, or if (ii) we can satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. In either case, we would have to satisfy certain substantiation requirements regarding the identity and certain other aspects of our stockholders which generally would require that we receive certain statements from certain of our direct and indirect stockholders. These requirements are onerous and there is no assurance that we would be able to satisfy them.
Based on the foregoing, we believe we satisfy, and will continue to satisfy, the Publicly Traded Test, and therefore we qualify for the exemption under Section 883 of the Code. However, if at any time in the future, including in 2025, we fail to qualify for these benefits, our U.S. source gross transportation income, to the extent not considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below, would be subject to a 4% tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions. Since 50% of our gross shipping income from transportation that begins or ends in the U.S. would be treated as U.S. source gross transportation income, the effective rate of U.S. federal income tax on such gross shipping income would be 2%.
69

Table of Contents
If the benefits of Section 883 of the Code become unavailable to us in the future, any of our U.S. source gross transportation income that is considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax at a current rate of 21%. In addition, we may be subject to the 30% “branch profits tax” on such earnings, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of our U.S. trade or business.
We believe that none of our U.S. source gross transportation income will be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Such income would be “effectively connected” only if:

| • | we had, or were considered to have, a fixed place of business in the U.S. involved in the earning of U.S. source gross transportation income and

| • | substantially all of our U.S. source gross transportation income was attributable to regularly scheduled transportation, such as the operation of a vessel that followed a published schedule with repeated sailings at regular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the U.S.

We believe that we will not meet these conditions because we do not have, and we do not intend to have or permit circumstances that would result in our having, such a fixed place of business in the U.S. or any vessel sailing to or from the U.S. on a regularly scheduled basis.
Income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the U.S. is not subject to the tax rules described above. Such income is subject to either a 30% gross-basis tax or to a U.S. federal corporate income tax on net income at a rate of 21% (and the branch profits tax described above). Although there can be no assurance, we do not expect to engage in transportation that produces shipping income of this type.
U.S. Taxation of Gain on Sale of Vessels
Regardless of whether we qualify for exemption under Section 883 of the Code, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to gain realized on a sale of a vessel; provided that the sale is considered to occur outside of the U.S. under U.S. federal income tax principles. In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the U.S. for this purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the U.S. We expect that any sale of a vessel will be so structured that it will be considered to occur outside of the U.S.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation of “U.S. Holders”
The following section applies to you only if you are a “U.S. Holder.” For this purpose, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock (other than an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

| • | is an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident, a U.S. corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes), an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if (1) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) the trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. trust,

| • | owns our common stock as a capital asset, and

| • | owns actually and constructively less than 10% of our common stock by vote and value.

If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner, the tax treatment of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. A partner in a partnership holding our common stock is urged to consult its own tax advisor.

Distributions on Our Common Stock
Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, any distributions made by us with respect to our common stock to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles (“E&P”). Distributions in excess of such E&P will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common stock (determined separately for each share) on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations will generally not be entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our common stock will generally be treated as “passive income” for purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
Dividends paid on our common stock to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (a “U.S. Non-Corporate Holder”) will generally be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such U.S. Non-Corporate Holder at a current maximum preferential tax rate of 20%; provided that (i) our common stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. (such as the NYSE), which we expect to be the case; (ii) we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (see the discussion below); (iii) the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder has owned the common stock for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which such common stock becomes ex-dividend (and has not entered into certain risk limiting transactions with respect to such common stock); and (iv) the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. Any dividends we pay out of E&P which are not eligible for the preferential tax rates will be taxed at ordinary income rates in the hands of a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder. Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend,” generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a stockholder’s adjusted basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) in a share of our common stock paid by us. If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common stock that is treated as “qualified dividend income,” then any loss derived by a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder from the subsequent sale or exchange of such stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of such dividend. There is no assurance that any dividends paid on our common stock will be eligible for these preferential tax rates in the hands of a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder, although we believe that they will be so eligible, provided that we are not a PFIC, as discussed below.
Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock
Provided that we are not a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such stock. Such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Such capital gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss, as applicable, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of U.S. Non-Corporate Holders are generally eligible for a current maximum 20% preferential tax rate. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses against income is subject to certain limitations.
PFIC Status and Significant Tax Consequences
Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock in a non-U.S. corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In particular, U.S. Non-Corporate Holders would not be eligible for the current maximum 20% preferential tax rate on qualified dividends. In general, we will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held our common stock, either:

| • | at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consists of “passive income” (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains and rents derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business), or

| • | at least 50% of the average value of our assets during such taxable year consists of “passive assets” (i.e., assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income).

71

Table of Contents
Income earned, or treated as earned (for U.S. federal income tax purposes), by us in connection with the performance of services would not constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income would generally constitute “passive income” unless we were treated under specific rules as deriving our rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business.
We believe that it is more likely than not that the gross income we derive, or are deemed to derive, from our time chartering activities is properly treated as services income rather than rental income. Assuming this is correct, our income from time chartering activities would not constitute “passive income,” and the assets we own and operate in connection with the production of that income would not constitute passive assets. Consequently, based upon our actual and projected income, assets and activities, we believe it is more likely than not that we are not currently a PFIC and will not become a PFIC in the foreseeable future.
There is substantial legal authority supporting the position that we are not a PFIC, consisting of case law and IRS pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time chartering activities as services income for other tax purposes. Nonetheless, it should be noted that there is legal uncertainty in this regard because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has held that, for purposes of a different set of rules under the Code, income derived from certain time chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income. However, the IRS stated that it disagrees with the holding of this Fifth Circuit case, and that income from time chartering activities should be treated as services income. We have not sought, and we do not expect to seek, an IRS ruling on this matter. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court could determine that we are a PFIC. No assurance can be given that this result will not occur. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid, to the extent possible, being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will not change in the future, or that we can avoid PFIC status in the future.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns our common stock, such U.S. Holder will, for any taxable year during which we are treated as a PFIC, generally be required to file IRS Form 8621 with his or her U.S. federal income tax return to report his or her ownership of our common stock if the total value of all PFIC stock that such U.S. Holder directly or indirectly owns exceeds certain thresholds. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the filing of IRS Form 8621.
In addition, as discussed more fully below, if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder made an election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund,” which election is referred to as a “QEF election.” As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common stock as discussed below. The PFIC rules are complex, and you are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules, including the annual PFIC reporting requirement.
Taxation of U.S. Holders of a PFIC Making a Timely QEF Election
If we were a PFIC for any taxable year and a U.S. Holder made a timely QEF election, such U.S. Holder being referred to as an “Electing Holder,” the Electing Holder would be required to report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Electing Holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary earnings (as ordinary income) and our net capital gain (which gain shall not exceed our E&P for the taxable year and would be reported as long-term capital gain), if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not distributions were received from us by the Electing Holder. Any such income inclusions would not be eligible for the current maximum 20% preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income as discussed above. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock would be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed E&P. Distributions of E&P that had been previously taxed would, pursuant to this election, result in a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in such common stock and would not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would not, however, be entitled to a deduction for its pro rata share of any losses that we incurred with respect to any year. An Electing Holder would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of such common stock. A U.S. Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with its U.S. federal income tax return. If we were to become aware that we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, we would notify all U.S. Holders of such treatment and provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make the QEF election described above. Even if a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election for one of our taxable years, if we were a PFIC for a prior taxable year during which the holder was a stockholder and for which the holder did not make a timely QEF election, the holder would also be subject to the different and more adverse tax consequences described below under “Taxation of U.S. Holders of a PFIC Not Making a Timely QEF or ‘Mark-to-Market’ Election”.
72

Table of Contents
A QEF election generally will not have any effect with respect to any taxable year for which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year for which we are a PFIC.
Taxation of U.S. Holders of a PFIC Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election
Alternatively, if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and our common stock is treated as “marketable stock,” a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to such stock; provided that the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 with its U.S. federal income tax return. We believe our common stock will be treated as “marketable stock” for this purpose.
If the mark-to-market election is made with respect to a U.S. Holder’s common stock, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such common stock at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common stock. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common stock over its fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common stock would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common stock would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder in income.
Taxation of U.S. Holders of a PFIC Not Making a Timely QEF or “Mark-to-Market” Election
Finally, if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF election or a “mark-to-market” election for that year, referred to as a “Non-Electing Holder,” would be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any excess distribution (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on our common stock in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for such common stock), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. Under these special rules:

| • | the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for the common stock,

| • | the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC during the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period would be taxed as ordinary income, and

| • | the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

These penalties would not apply to a qualified pension, profit-sharing or other retirement trust or other tax-exempt organization that did not borrow money or otherwise utilize leverage in connection with its acquisition of our common stock. If we were a PFIC, and a Non-Electing Holder who was an individual died while owning our common stock, such holder’s successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such stock. Certain of these rules would apply to a U.S. Holder who made a QEF election for one of our taxable years if we were a PFIC in a prior taxable year during which the holder held our common stock and for which the holder did not make a QEF election.

Medicare Tax
A U.S. Non-Corporate Holder (excluding certain trusts within a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax) is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) such U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of such U.S. Holder’s modified gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). Such a U.S. Holder’s net investment income will generally include such U.S. Holder’s gross interest income and dividend income and net gains from the disposition of our common stock, unless such interest, dividends or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). A U.S. Non-Corporate Holder is urged to consult the holder’s own tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to the holder’s ownership of our common stock.
U.S. Federal Income Taxation of “Non-U.S. Holders”
The following section applies to you only if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.” For this purpose, a “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock (other than an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder.
Distributions on Our Common Stock
Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on distributions received from us with respect to our common stock, unless that interest or dividend income is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. If the Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an applicable U.S. income tax treaty with respect to those distributions, that income is taxable only if it is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock
Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock, unless:

| • | the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. (and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an applicable U.S. income tax treaty with respect to that gain, that gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.); or

| • | the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of disposition and other conditions are met.

If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a U.S. trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any income from the common stock, including dividends and the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of such stock, that is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business will generally be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as discussed in the previous section relating to the taxation of U.S. Holders. In addition, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, your E&P that is attributable to the effectively connected income, which is subject to certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable U.S. income tax treaty.
Tax Return Disclosure Requirements
Individual U.S. Holders (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, certain individual Non-U.S. Holders and certain U.S. Holders that are entities) that hold certain specified foreign financial assets with values in excess of certain dollar thresholds are required to report such assets on IRS Form 8938 with their U.S. federal income tax return, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for foreign assets held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions). Stock of a non-U.S. corporation, including our common stock, is a specified foreign financial asset for this purpose. Substantial penalties apply for failure to properly complete and file Form 8938. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the filing of this form.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
In general, dividend payments (or other taxable distributions) and proceeds from the disposition of our common stock made to you may be subject to information reporting requirements if you are a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder. Such payments may also be subject to backup withholding if you are a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder and you:

| • | fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

| • | are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on your U.S. federal income tax returns; or

| • | in certain circumstances, fail to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding by certifying their status on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable.
If you are a Non-U.S. Holder and you sell our common stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment of the proceeds is subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless you certify that you are a non-U.S. person, under penalties of perjury, or you otherwise establish an exemption. If you sell our common stock through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to you outside the U.S., then information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting requirements and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made to you outside the U.S., if you sell our common stock through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a U.S. person or has certain other contacts with the U.S. However, such information reporting requirements or backup withholding will not apply if the broker has documentary evidence in its records that you are a non-U.S. person and certain other conditions are met, or you otherwise establish an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, you generally may obtain a credit or refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed your income tax liability by timely filing a refund claim with the IRS.

ITEM 11. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to the variable rate of the borrowings under our secured credit facilities. Amounts borrowed under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin. Increasing interest rates could affect our future profitability. In certain situations, we may enter into financial instruments to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates. A one percentage point increase in SOFR would have increased our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 by $2.3 million based upon our debt level as of December 31, 2025 ($4.2 million in 2024). We have only immaterial currency risk since all income and the majority of vessel expenses are in U.S. dollars.
We are exposed to credit risk from our operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from our financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions. We seek to diversify the credit risk on our cash deposits by spreading the risk among various financial institutions. The majority of our cash is held by Nordea, DNB, OCBC, Credit Agricole, CFM Indosuez, Citibank, SBI Singapore and United Overseas Bank Historically, the tanker markets have been volatile as a result of the many conditions and factors that can affect the price, supply and demand for tanker capacity. Changes in demand for transportation of oil over longer distances and supply of tankers to carry that oil may materially affect our revenues, profitability and cash flows. A significant portion of our vessels are currently exposed to the spot market.
A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments and further information on our exposure to market risk are included in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

A. | DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Evaluation Date”), we conducted an evaluation (under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the president & chief executive officer and the chief financial officer), pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed by DHT in reports that we file or submit under the U.S. Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our president & chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, income statement, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented.
Our auditors have expressed an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

B. | MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, the management of DHT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that includes numerous controls designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting, and the preparation and presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the provisions of Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013. Based on our assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2025.

ITEM 16K. | CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
Parts of our business depend on the secure operation of our computer systems to manage, process, store and transmit information. We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. Our processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats include cybersecurity review of systems and applications, reviews of our cybersecurity policies, assistance of consultants, third party assessments and the implementation of various forms of IT security.
Identifying and assessing cybersecurity risk is integrated into our overall risk management systems and processes. Our processes also address cybersecurity threat risks associated with our use of third-party service providers, including those who have access to our data or our systems. In addition to our internal processes, we engage third-party cybersecurity consultants and experts to supplement our internal resources, as well as to help us assess, validate and enhance our security practices, including conducting cybersecurity maturity assessments and vulnerability assessments.
Risks from identified cybersecurity threats include, among other things, operational risks, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws. We describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents could materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Company—A cyberattack could lead to a material disruption of our IT systems and the loss of business information, which may hinder our ability to conduct our business effectively and may result in lost revenues and additional costs” which is incorporated by reference into this Item 16K.
Cybersecurity Governance
Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our board of directors and management. Our audit committee is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. Members of the audit committee are, on at least an annual basis, updated by senior management, who are collectively responsible for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks as part of our overall risk management systems and processes. The Company has contracted with third-party cybersecurity consultants that provide the relevant expertise to assist senior management in assessing and managing the cybersecurity risks identified. Reporting lines within the organization, and with our third-party cybersecurity consultants, have been set up to ensure senior management is informed about cybersecurity incidents.
In addition to the above reporting processes, our board members also engage in ad hoc conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of DHT Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of DHT Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS® Accounting Standards”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 19, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

| Vessel impairment indicators
Description of the Matter | The carrying value of the Company’s vessels was $1,084 million as of December 31, 2025. As explained in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses vessels for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a vessel may not be recoverable. Auditing management’s assessment of impairment indicators was complex and required significant auditor judgment around assumptions used by management in determining whether impairment indicators exist. The most significant input used was independent shipbroker valuations, which use a combination of vessel specific inputs such as age and yard, and assumptions based on market data, including any recent comparable vessel transactions.

F-2

Table of Contents

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s impairment indicators process, including controls over management’s review of the vessels’ valuations. We performed audit procedures that included, among others, comparing management’s methodology against the accounting guidance under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. We tested the shipbroker valuations by performing inquiries with the independent shipbroker regarding the valuation methodology applied and input data used and evaluated their competence, capabilities and objectivity. We tested the input data used for the valuation for the vessels by comparing the vessel specific inputs with vessel records and supporting documentation. We further performed a comparison of historical relevant vessel transactions in 2025 with independent broker valuations. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements against the requirements of the relevant accounting standards.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of DHT Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited DHT Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, DHT Holdings, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 2025 consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated March 19, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023
Note 1 – General information
DHT Holdings, Inc. (“DHT” or the “parent company”) is a company incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s principal executive office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
The Company has 34 subsidiaries, of which 33 are wholly owned. Of the wholly owned subsidiaries, 27 are Marshall Island companies, four are Singaporean companies, one is an Indian company and one is a Norwegian company. The 27 Marshall Island subsidiaries are vessel-owning companies (the “vessel subsidiaries”), each primarily engaged in the ownership and operation of a vessel. Of these vessel subsidiaries, four relate to newbuilding contracts, and one relates to a vessel sold during 2025, for which the legal entity has not yet been dissolved. The Company also has a Monegasque company, in which the Company has a 99% ownership interest.
Our principal activity is the ownership and operation of a fleet of crude oil carriers. As of December 31, 2025 our fleet consisted of 22 very large crude carriers, or “VLCCs,” which are tankers ranging in size from 270,000 to 320,000 deadweight tons, or “dwt.” Our fleet principally operates on international routes and, as of December 31, 2025, our VLCCs in operation had a combined carrying capacity of 6,840,114 dwt.
With regard to amounts in the financial statements, these are shown in USD thousands.
Note 2 – Material accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS® Accounting Standards”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of derivative financial instruments or where otherwise stated.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The material accounting policy information is set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of DHT Holdings, Inc. and entities controlled by the parent company (and its subsidiaries).
Unless otherwise specified, all subsequent references to the “Company” refer to DHT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved where the Company has power over the investee, is exposed or has the rights to variable returns from its investment with an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
F-10

Table of Contents
Acquisitions made by the Company which do not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations are accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect changes in their relative ownership interests, and no gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any difference between the consideration paid or received and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is recognized directly in equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at their nominal amount in the statement of financial position and comprise of cash deposits and cash on hand.
Vessels
Vessels are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of these vessels. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the vessels, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges or reversal of prior impairment charges, if any.
The Company reviews estimated useful lives and residual values each year with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The estimated useful life of the vessels may change due to technological developments as well as environmental, legal and industry requirements. The Company believes 20 years to be a reasonable estimate for a vessel’s commercial life. Each vessel’s residual value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and an estimated scrap rate per ton.
Capitalized exhaust gas cleaning systems costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the time of installation of the equipment to the end of the estimated useful life. The exhaust gas cleaning systems are estimated to have a useful life of three years.
Please refer to the Use of estimates section for further details.
Assets held for sale
Vessels are classified separately as held for sale as part of current assets in the statement of financial position when their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of the vessel, excluding finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification. Once classified as held for sale, vessels are no longer depreciated or amortized.
Vessels under construction
Newbuildings represent vessels under construction and are accounted for in accordance with progress payments to the shipyard and capitalized borrowing costs. The progress payments align with the milestones that are usually part of a newbuilding contract: signing or receipt of refund guarantee, steel cutting, keel laying, launching and delivery. All progress payments are guaranteed by refund guarantees provided by the shipyards. Vessels under construction are presented at cost less identified impairment losses, if any. Borrowing costs are capitalized during construction of newbuildings based on accumulated expenditures for the applicable vessel at the Company’s current weighted average rate of borrowing. The Company does not have any specific borrowing related to the newbuilding contracts.

Table of Contents
Vessel upgrades
Advances related to capital expenditures are recorded in the statement of financial position as “Vessel upgrades” under non-current assets. Vessel upgrades will be capitalized and reclassified to “Vessels” under non-current assets upon completion of maintenance.
Docking and survey expenditure
The Company’s vessels are required to be drydocked every 30 to 60 months. The Company capitalizes drydocking costs as part of the relevant vessel and depreciates those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. The residual value of such capital expenses is estimated at nil. Costs related to ordinary maintenance performed during drydocking are charged to the income statement as part of vessel operating expenses for the period in which they are incurred.
Impairment of vessels and reversal of prior impairment
The carrying amounts of vessels held and used are reviewed for potential impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less cost of disposal based on third-party broker valuations and its value in use and is determined for each individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those other assets or groups of assets. The Company views each vessel as a separate CGU. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Such impairment is recognized in the income statement. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
The Company assesses at each reporting date if there is any indication that an impairment recognized in prior period may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an extent higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined, had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. Such reversals are recognized in the income statement.
Inventories
Inventories consist mainly of bunkers, which are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the bunkers and delivery cost less discounts. Bunker expenses are recognized as part of voyage expenses in the consolidated income statement upon consumption.
Property, plant and equipment other than vessels and ROU assets
The Company’s other property, plant and equipment consist mainly of the Company’s fixtures, furniture and computer equipment. The fixtures, furniture and computer equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Leases - DHT as lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Company currently has one category of leases related to leased office space in Monaco, Norway, Singapore and India where the Company is a lessee.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. The Company’s ROU assets are presented as part of the other property, plant and equipment in the statement of financial position.
F-12

Table of Contents
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using an effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The ROU assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The Company remeasures the lease liability and makes corresponding adjustments to the related ROU asset whenever the lease is modified.
Revenue and expense recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the following major sources:

| • | Revenue from time charters

| • | Revenue from spot charters

Revenues from time charters are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental periods of such charters. Revenue is recognized from delivery of the vessel to the charterer until the end of the lease term. For vessels on time charters, where the Company is a lessor, the time charter contract contains a lease component, which is the right to use the specified ship, and a non-lease component, which is the operation and maintenance of the ship. Technical management service components are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the lease components are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. The service elements are recognized as revenue as the service is being delivered (over time) and the timing of this coincides with timing of revenue recognized for the leasing element.
The Company has entered into time charters where the Company has the opportunity to earn additional hire, through profit sharing agreements, when vessel earnings exceed the basic hire amounts set forth in the charters. Additional hire, if any, is calculated and paid either monthly or on a voyage-by-voyage basis in arrears and recognized as revenue in the period in which it was earned.
Revenues from spot charterers, otherwise known as voyage charter revenues, are recognized ratably over the estimated length of each voyage, calculated on a load-to-discharge basis.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
Other revenue primarily comprises revenues earned from the technical management of third party vessels and is recognized over time following the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Voyage expenses, primarily bunker expenses, are capitalized between the previous discharge port, or contract date if later, and the next load port if they qualify as fulfilment cost. To recognize costs incurred to fulfil a contract as an asset, the following criteria shall be met: (i) the costs relate directly to the contract, (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and (iii) the costs are expected to be recovered.
Vessel operating expenses are expensed when incurred and include crew costs, vessel stores and supplies, lubricating oils, maintenance and repairs, insurance and communication costs.
Gains and losses on sale of vessels
Gains and losses on the sale of vessels are reported as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement. For the sale of vessels, transfer of control usually occurs upon delivery of the vessel to the new owner.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities “at fair value through profit or loss” (FVTPL) or “other financial liabilities”. The FVTPL category is comprised of the Company’s derivatives. Any other liabilities of the Company, such as, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other current and non-current liabilities, and long-term debt, are classified as “other financial liabilities”.

| (a) | Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including debt, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

| (b) | Derivative

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert part of the interest-bearing debt from floating to fixed rate.
The derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.
Financial assets

| (a) | Receivables

Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Normally, the interest element could be disregarded since the receivables are short term. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivables and estimates the amount of uncollectible receivables each period and establishes an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The amount of the allowance is based on the age of unpaid amounts, information about the current financial strength of customers and other relevant information.

| (b) | Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert part of its interest-bearing debt from floating to fixed rate.
The derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.
Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and reward of ownership of the asset to another entity.
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the parent company and each of the vessel subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. This is because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, in which revenues and expenses are settled in U.S. dollars, and the Company’s most significant assets and liabilities in the form of vessels and related liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars. For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

Table of Contents
Classification in the Statement of Financial Position
Current assets and current liabilities include items due 12 months or less from the reporting date and items related to the operating cycle, if longer, liabilities for which the Company does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months from the reporting date, and items primarily held for trading. The current portion of long-term debt is included as current liabilities. Assets other than those described above are classified as non-current assets.
The Company’s unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months may be subject to complying with future covenants specified in our loan arrangements. There is a risk that those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date. The Company’s financial covenants are described in Note 9.
Related parties
Parties are related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Key management personnel of the Company are also related parties. All transactions between the related parties are recorded at estimated market value. See Note 13 for further information.
Taxes
The Company is a foreign corporation that is not subject to United States federal income taxes. Further, the Company is not subject to income taxes or tax reporting requirements imposed by the Marshall Islands, the country in which it is incorporated.
The subsidiaries acting as management companies domiciled in Monaco, Norway, Singapore and India are taxable in local jurisdictions.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the taxes currently payable and deferred tax. Taxes payable are provided based on taxable profits at the current tax rate. Deferred taxes are recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Accumulated deficit
Accumulated deficit is the cumulative amount of prior year profit and loss and dividends paid.
Treasury shares
When the Company repurchases its own shares, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is classified as treasury shares and recognized as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase or the retirement of shares.
Additional paid-in capital
Additional paid-in capital represents the excess amount paid over the par value of the shares issued.

Segment information
DHT’s primary business is operating a fleet of crude oil tankers, with a secondary activity of providing technical management services. The Company is organized and managed as one segment based on the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environment in which it operates. The consolidated operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the President & Chief Executive Officer, and the Company does not monitor performance by geographical areas.
Fair value measurement
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

| • | Note 6 – Vessels, subsidiaries and other property, plant and equipment

| • | Note 8 – Financial Instruments

| • | Note 11 – Operating expenses

Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where significant estimates and assumptions have been applied are:

| • | Depreciation: As described above, the Company reviews estimated useful lives and residual values each year. Estimated useful lives may change due to changed end-user requirements, costs related to maintenance and upgrades, technological development and competition as well as industry, environmental and legal requirements. In addition, residual value may vary due to changes in market prices on scrap.

| • | Value in use: As described in Note 6, in assessing “value in use”, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. In developing estimates of future cash flows, we must make significant assumptions about future charter rates, future use of vessels, ship operating expenses, drydocking expenditures, utilization rates, fixed commercial and technical management fees, residual value of vessels, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels, and the discount rate.

| • | Fair value less cost of disposal: The Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of vessels. The key inputs used are valuations (“market values”) from brokers, which are corroborated by management against market transactions for similar types of vessels. The Company believes that these valuations represent an important source of information in estimating fair value. The main valuation assumption used by the broker is that there is a “willing seller and a willing buyer” at arm’s length. Furthermore, the valuation assumes vessels being sold individually, i.e., not in block-deals, which involves the sale of more than one vessel, as this might affect the price of the vessels. The valuation is provided on a gross basis, not considering relevant transactions costs to conclude a sale. Based on prior sale of vessels, the Company assumes that the cost of disposal mainly consists of the brokerage commission, which typically is a percentage of the sales price based on previous experience. Historically, the number of individual VLCC sales transactions has been limited. As a result, the Company has categorized the fair value measurement as being based on Level 3 inputs. See Note 6 for further disclosures.

Use of judgment
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

| • | Impairment/Reversal of impairment: Each of the Company’s vessels has been treated as a separate CGU as the vessels have cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets and therefore can be subject to a value-in-use analysis. Judgment, as disclosed in Note 6, has been applied in connection with the assessment of indicators of impairment or reversal of prior impairment.

Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
New standards issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these new and amended accounting standards when they become effective.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.
The standard also requires disclosure of newly management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”), subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified “roles” of the primary financial statements (PFS) and the notes.
In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from “profit or loss” to “operating profit or loss” and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.
IFRS 18 and the amendments to the other standards are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively – i.e. earlier comparative periods will be restated.
The Company is still in the process of assessing all the impacts of the new standard, particularly with respect to the structure of the Company’ income statement, the statement of cash flow and the additional disclosures required for MPMs. In addition, the Company is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the financial statements, including for items currently labelled as “other”.
The initial expected impacts on Company’s financial statements include the following:

| • | The new starting point for presenting the cash flows from the Company’s operations under the indirect method will be changed to “Operating profit or loss” (or equivalent subtotal).

| • | Interest received and interest paid will be classified in the investing activities and financing activities, respectively, on the statement of cash flow.

| • | New disclosure will be added: (a) management-defined performance measures; and (b) a reconciliation for each line item in the income statement between the restated amounts presented applying IFRS 18 and the amounts previously presented applying IAS 1.

Table of Contents
Vessels under construction
As of December 31, 2025, we had four VLCCs under construction, fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems, with deliveries scheduled progressively between January and June 2026. Two VLCCs were to be constructed at each Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“HHI”) and Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. (“Hanwha”) in South Korea. The average price for the four ships is $130,295 thousand, adjusted for change orders. The initial pre-delivery installments have been recorded in the statement of financial position as “Vessels under construction” under Non-current assets. Costs relating to vessels under construction include pre-delivery installments to the shipyard and other vessel costs incurred during the construction period that are directly attributable to construction of the vessels, including borrowing costs incurred during the construction period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid $285,888 thousand in installments under its newbuilding program. In addition, the Company capitalized borrowing costs of $9,614 thousand in 2025 at an average interest rate of 6.2% p.a., and $2,953 thousand in 2024 at an average interest rate of 7.2% p.a., related to the financing of vessels under construction. The Company also capitalized $3,196 thousand related to other directly attributable expenses. The remaining installments, totaling $235,294 thousand, are planned to be funded with debt financing and cash at hand.
The future expected payments to the builders for the Company’s vessels under construction as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

Depreciation
We have assumed an estimated useful life of 20 years for our vessels. Depreciation is calculated taking residual value into consideration. Each vessel’s residual value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and an estimated scrap rate per ton. Estimated scrap rate used as a basis for depreciation is based on estimated scrap value in accordance with our recycling policy. Capitalized drydocking costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the completion of a drydocking to the estimated completion of the next drydocking. Capitalized exhaust gas cleaning system costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the time of installation of the equipment to the end of the estimated useful life.
Recycling policy
If the Company were to sell a ship for demolition, the Company shall prepare the ship to facilitate safe and environmentally sound recycling in accordance with the Hong Kong Convention. It should be sold in accordance with the “BIMCO Recyclecon” terms, “Standard Contract for the Sale of Vessels for Green Recycling” and with the commitment from the Buyer to provide the Company with certification from the Ship Recycling Facility that its Ship Recycling Facility Plan is in compliance with and will be executed in accordance with the Hong Kong Convention.
Carrying value and impairment
A vessel’s recoverable amount is the higher of the vessel’s fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel. Each of the Company’s vessels have been viewed as a separate CGU as the vessels have cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. In instances where a vessel is considered impaired, it is written down to its recoverable amount. Management continuously monitors both external and internal factors to determine if there are indicators that the vessels may be impaired or, in case of previously recognized impairment, that there are indicators that this may be reversed. The factors evaluated in the assessment include the carrying amount of net assets compared to market capitalization, the changes in market rates affecting the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, the effect of any changes in the technological, market, economic, or legal environment in which the Company operates, changes in forecasted charter rates, and movements in external broker valuations. The Company also assesses whether any evidence suggests the obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, whether the Company had any plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date of disposal, and whether any evidence suggests that the economic performance of an asset was, or would be, worse than expected. To the extent it is determined that indicators of impairment and/or reversal of previously recognized impairment exist, the value in use is estimated for the respective vessels. A reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is recorded only to the extent there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset, either from use or sale.

Table of Contents
Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential indicators of impairment or reversal of prior impairment are reasonable and appropriate at the time they were made, such assumptions are highly subjective and could change, possibly materially, in the future.
This also applies to assumptions used to evaluate impairment charges or reversal or prior year impairment charges. Reasonable changes in the assumptions for the discount rate or future charter rates could lead to a value in use for some of our vessels that is higher than, equal to or less than the carrying amount for such vessels. Similarly, this applies to the fair value less cost of sales of our vessels, as market fluctuations could lead to valuations that are higher than, equal to, or lower than their carrying amount. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their current levels or whether or when they will change by any significant degree. Charter rates may decline significantly from current levels, which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability and future assessments of vessel impairment.
The market value of our vessels is subject to fluctuations based on various factors, including global economic conditions, interest rates, vessel supply and demand, regulatory changes, and shifts in trade patterns. Periods of high demand and limited vessel supply typically drive up market values, while oversupply, economic downturns or regulatory restrictions can lead to declines. Additionally, vessel values are influenced by secondhand market trends and newbuilding prices, which are, in turn, affected by shipyard capacity and steel prices. Given these factors, market values may not always align with book values, and significant declines could lead to impairment charges.
For the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company performed an assessment using both internal and external sources of information and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company concluded there were no indicators of impairment. However, indicators of reversal of prior impairment were identified. For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company concluded there were no indicators of impairment or reversal of prior impairment.
For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company identified indicators of reversal due to the continued strong market values and was triggered by the agreement to sell DHT Scandinavia in the fourth quarter of 2024. According to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, the increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. As a result, the Company reversed prior impairment charges totaling $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, including $1.2 million related to DHT Scandinavia. The recoverable amount was the fair value based on market values less cost of disposal for all vessels except for DHT Scandinavia, in which case the recoverable amount was the agreed sales price minus cost of disposal.

Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
It is assumed that fair value of non-derivative financial instruments is equal to the nominal amount for all financial assets and liabilities. With regards to trade receivables, the credit risk is not viewed as significant. With regards to the credit facilities, these are floating rate with terms and conditions considered to be according to market terms and no material change in credit risk; consequently, it is assumed that carrying value has no material deviation from fair value.

The difference between the remaining notional amount and the carrying amount of each credit facility represents the unamortized debt issuance costs, which are deducted from the carrying amount.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $1.1 million of debt issuance costs, with no comparable activity in the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, $88.0 million was undrawn under the Nordea Credit Facility and $22.5 million was undrawn under the ING Credit Facility.
Interest on all our credit facilities is payable quarterly in arrears. The credit facilities are principally secured by first-priority mortgages on the vessels financed by the credit facility, assignments of earnings, pledges of the borrowers’ shares, insurance, and the borrowers’ rights under charters for the vessels, if any, as well as pledges of the borrowers’ bank account balances.

Note 9 – Financial risk management, objectives and policies
Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, and, when applicable, current portion of long-term debt and derivatives. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s financial assets mainly comprise cash.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk are debt, bank deposits and derivative financial instruments.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk through its long-term debt, which carries floating interest rates.
Interest rate risk sensitivity
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and floating rate long-term debt. For floating rate long-term debt, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year.
F-28

Table of Contents
2025: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:

| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by $1,162 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and

| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.

2024: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:

| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 would decrease/increase by $2,076 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and

| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.

2023: If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s:

| ● | profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 would decrease/increase by $2,185 thousand with a corresponding effect against equity; and

| ● | other comprehensive income would not be affected.

b) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has only immaterial currency risk since all revenue and major expenses, including all vessel expenses and financial expenses, are in US dollars. Consequently, no sensitivity analysis is prepared.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions.
Credit risks related to receivables
During 2025, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2025, 10 of the Company’s 22 vessels are chartered to five different counterparties and 12 vessels are operated in the spot market.
During 2024, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2024, seven of the Company’s 24 vessels are chartered to five different counterparties and 17 vessels are operated in the spot market.
During 2023, the Company’s vessels were either trading in the spot market or on short to medium term time charters to different counterparties. As of December 31, 2023, five of the Company’s 24 vessels are chartered to three different counterparties and 19 vessels are operated in the spot market.
See Note 5 for further details on employment of the Company’s vessels. Time charter hire is paid monthly in advance.

Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables
The Company seeks to diversify credit risks on cash by holding the majority of its cash in different financial institutions. The Company holds the majority of its cash in Nordea, DNB, OCBC, Credit Agricole, CFM Indosuez, Citibank, SBI Singapore and United Overseas Bank.
As of December 31, 2025, five customers represented $13,288 thousand, $10,626 thousand, $8,110 thousand, $7,889 thousand and $4,229 thousand, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivables.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting dates was:

(Dollars in thousands) |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 79,034 |  |  | $ | 78,143 |
Accounts receivable and accrued revenues |  |  | 53,338 |  |  |  | 53,715 |
Maximum credit exposure |  | $ | 132,373 |  |  | $ | 131,858 |

Liquidity risk
The Company manages its risk of a shortage of funds by continuously monitoring maturity of financial assets and liabilities, and projected cash flows from operations such as charter hire, voyage revenues and vessel operating expenses. Certain of our credit agreements contain financial covenants requiring that at all times the borrowings under the credit facilities plus the actual or notional cost of terminating any of their interest rates swaps not exceed a certain percentage of the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure each of the credit facilities. Vessel values are volatile and a decline in vessel values could result in prepayments under the Company’s credit facilities.
The following are contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments on an undiscounted basis. The SOFR interest spot rate at December 31, 2025 (and spot rate at December 31, 2024 for comparatives) is used as a basis for preparation

Capital management
A key objective in relation to capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains a capital structure suitable to support its business. The Company evaluates its capital structure in light of current and projected cash flows, the cyclicality and the relative strength or weakness of the shipping markets, new business opportunities and the Company’s financial commitments. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust or eliminate the dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants stipulated in its credit agreements.

The ING Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, a first-priority mortgage on the vessel financed by the credit facility, a first-priority assignment of earnings, insurances and intercompany claims, a first-priority pledge of the balances of each of the borrowers’ bank accounts and a first-priority pledge over the shares in each of the borrowers. The credit facility contains a covenant requiring that at all times the charter-free market value of the vessels that secure the credit facility be no less than 135% of borrowings. Also, DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit facility, DHT, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain a value adjusted tangible net worth of $300.0 million, value adjusted tangible net worth shall be at least 25% of value adjusted total assets and unencumbered consolidated cash of at least the higher of (i) $30.0 million and (ii) 6% of our gross interest-bearing debt. “Value adjusted” is defined as an adjustment to reflect the difference between the carrying amount and the market valuations of the Company’s vessels (as determined quarterly by an approved broker).

In 2024, the Company had an increase in voyage expenses compared to 2023, and the increase was mainly due to higher bunker prices in 2024, one additional vessel in the fleet and fewer off-hire days.
