* According to the Issuer, there were 110,930,873 Common Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2017. In September 2016, Hemen loaned 8,000,000 Common Shares to an affiliate of the Issuer (the "Hemen Share Lending Arrangement"), which on-loaned the 8,000,000 Common Shares to an affiliate of one of the underwriters in the issuance of the Issuer's 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the "Underwriter Share Lending Arrangement") to facilitate hedging transactions by the investors of the notes. In November 2016, the Issuer issued 8,000,000 new Common Shares to Hemen to close out the Hemen Share Lending Arrangement. Accordingly, for the purposes of calculating the percentage of beneficial ownership, the Reporting Persons have excluded from the total issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer the aforementioned 8,000,000 Common Shares that have been loaned under the Underwriter Share Lending Arrangement since it has been agreed under the Underwriter Share Lending Arrangement that such shares will be returned to the Issuer on or before the maturity of the 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2021.
 
Certain directors and officers of Frontline also beneficially own less than 0.1% of the Common Shares. Except as described above, no other Common Shares are beneficially owned by the persons named in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D/A.
   
 
On October 17, 2017, Farahead returned 900,000 Common Shares previously borrowed from Hemen pursuant to the Farahead Share Lending Arrangement. Except as otherwise described in this Amendment No. 3, there have been no transactions by the Reporting Persons in the Common Shares during the past 60 days.
 
(d)
Except as described in this Amendment No. 3, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 5.
