NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE ITS PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL

Communication in accordance with article 8, §1 of the Royal Decree of 27 April 2007 on public takeover bids.

CMB signs share purchase agreement to acquire shares in Euronav from Frontline and Famatown – to be followed by a mandatory public takeover bid by CMB on Euronav

Antwerp, 9 October 2023, 8:00 AM – CMB NV (“CMB”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Frontline plc (“Frontline”) and Famatown Finance Limited (“Famatown”), the other reference shareholders of Euronav NV (“Euronav”) (NYSE: EURN & Euronext: EURN), for an integrated solution to the current strategic and structural deadlock within Euronav. CMB and its affiliates currently own 22.93% of Euronav’s issued shares. Frontline and Famatown together own 26.12% of Euronav’s issued shares. Euronav owns 8.23% of its issued shares in treasury.

The integrated solution entails (i) the acquisition by CMB of all Euronav shares held by Frontline and Famatown (the “Share Purchase”) in parallel with (ii) the sale of 24 vessels by Euronav to Frontline or an affiliate thereof (the “Vessel Sale”) which is subject to completion of the Share Purchase (together the “Transaction”). In light of this Transaction, the arbitration proceedings between Euronav and Frontline in respect of the combination agreement entered into between them on 10 July 2022 will be terminated. Further information in respect of the Transaction can be found in the announcement made by CMB today, which can be found in this link.

CMB has entered into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Frontline and Famatown (together the “Sellers”) to acquire all of the 57,479,744 Euronav shares (representing 26.12% of Euronav’s issued shares) currently owned by the Sellers for a purchase price of USD 18.43 per share.

The completion of the Share Purchase is subject to merger control approvals and approval by Euronav’s shareholders’ meeting of the conditionality of the Vessel Sale on the completion of the Share Purchase in accordance with Article 7:151 of the Belgian Code of companies and associations.

Following completion of the Share Purchase expected in Q4 2023, CMB will launch a mandatory public takeover bid on the remaining shares in Euronav that are not already owned by CMB or its affiliates, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 49 and following of the Belgian Royal Decree of 27 April 2007 on public takeover bids (the “Mandatory Bid”).

The price of the Mandatory Bid will be USD 18.43 per share, reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the gross amount per share of any future distributions by Euronav to its shareholders with an ex-dividend date prior to the settlement date of the Mandatory Bid. The bid price will be paid in cash.

As CMB intends to maintain Euronav’s listing on Euronext Brussels and the New York Stock Exchange, it has no intention to launch a squeeze-out bid following the closing of the Mandatory Bid.

Given Euronav’s listing on Euronext Brussels and the New York Stock Exchange, the takeover bid by CMB will be comprised of two concurrent offers (i.e., a dual offer), structured as (i) a U.S. offer on Euronav shares held by U.S. holders (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), conducted in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) a Belgian offer on Euronav shares held by holders wherever located, conducted in accordance with applicable Belgian law.

This announcement does not constitute a formal notification of a public takeover bid within the meaning of the Belgian Law of 1 April 2007 on public takeover bids and the Belgian Royal Decree of 27 April 2007 on public takeover bids. If the Share Purchase is completed and CMB becomes obliged to launch the Mandatory Bid, full details thereof will be included in the prospectus to be filed with the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority. In the event that the Share Purchase is not completed and the Mandatory Bid is not triggered, CMB will issue a further press release to that effect.
