    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 11.4pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold;">You should read the filings CMB and Euronav make with the SEC carefully before making a decision concerning the U.S. Tender

    <div style="line-height: 11.4pt;"><br style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 11.4pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Matters discussed in this communication may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbour
      protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or
      performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Euronav desires to take advantage of the safe harbour provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
      including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbour legislation. The words "believe", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may", "should", "expect", "pending" and similar expressions
      identify forward-looking statements.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 11.4pt;"><br style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 11.4pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The forward-looking statements in this communication are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including
      without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
      assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
      projections.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 11.4pt;"><br style="line-height: 11.4pt;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 11.4pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
      forward-looking statements include the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close in a timely manner, uncertainty surrounding how many of Euronav&#8217;s stockholders will tender their shares in the
      tender offer, the possibility of business disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty and the response of business partners to the announcement, including customers, the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed
      transaction may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including
      fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and
      refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from
      pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our
      filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.<font style="font-size: 8pt;">&#160;</font></div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><font style="color: #004B8E;">The agenda above has been drafted assuming the acquisition of CMB.TECH would be concluded, however please note that the acquisition is subject to</font><font style="font-size: 11pt;">&#160;</font><font style="color: #004B8E;">important conditions, including approval by a special general meeting of Euronav&#8217;s shareholders in accordance with Article 7:152 BBCA (the &#8220;SGM&#8221;) and customary waivers of change of
          control provisions in view of the rollover of certain contracts. The Company and CMB expect to close the Transaction in February 2024.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; color: #004B8E; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given the Company&#8217;s strong focus on decarbonization following implementation of its new strategy and the Transaction, Euronav intends to propose to its shareholders
        to change its corporate name to CMB.TECH following completion of the Transaction and the Offer later this year. It envisages to keep the &#8220;Euronav&#8221; name as the brand name for its tanker division. Please note that the agenda already uses CMB.TECH as
        the corporate name.</div>

      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; color: #004B8E; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor
        protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or
        performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
        including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "potential", "may", "should", "expect", "pending" and similar expressions
        identify forward-looking statements.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; color: #004B8E; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
        limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are
        inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; color: #004B8E; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
        forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes
        in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to
        obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and
        international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
        Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.</div>
