(Title of Class)

This Form 8-A/A is filed by International Seaways, Inc. (the “Company”) to supplement the description of the Company’s common stock purchase rights (the “Rights”), which Rights were previously registered on the Form 8-A filed by the Company on May 9, 2022.

Item 1 Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

This amends the 8-A relating to the rights issued under the Rights Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2022, by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. The Rights Agreement, which was intended to enable the Company’s shareholders to realize the long-term value of their investment and prevent an individual shareholder or group of shareholders from gaining control of the Company through open market accumulation without paying a control premium to all shareholders or by otherwise disadvantaging other shareholders, was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 7, 2023.

On April 11, 2023, the Company amended and restated the Rights Agreement with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (as so amended and restated, the “A&R Rights Agreement”), to make the following changes to the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement and the Rights issued thereunder:

· to increase the “Acquiring Person” trigger threshold from 17.5% to 20%;

· to extend the “Final Expiration Date” from May 7, 2023 to April 10, 2026;

· to increase the “Purchase Price” from $25 to $50; and

· to include a qualifying offer provision with a shareholder redemption feature, which is designed to prevent the A&R Rights Agreement from interfering with certain fully-financed tender offers or exchange offers for all of the Company’s common stock, as more specifically set forth in the A&R Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description is a general description only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the A&R Rights Agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023. A copy of the A&R Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company upon request.
