Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
On December 7, 2020 Hemen entered into a cash-settled total return swap agreement (the "Total Return Swap") with economic exposure to 4,905,000
notional Common Shares at a price of NOK 37.08 per share. The expiration date of the Total Return Swap is March 10, 2021. The Total Return Swap provides Hemen with economic results that are comparable to ownership but does not provide it with the
power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the Common Shares that are subject to the Total Return Swap.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, be party to, enter into or unwind certain cash settled equity derivatives or
similar contractual arrangements which provide indirect economic exposure to, but do not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive power over, securities of the Issuer and which may be significant in amount. The
profit, loss and/or return on such contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the securities of the Issuer, the relative value of securities of the Issuer in comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or
securities, a basket or group of securities in which the securities of the Issuer may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership in the securities that may be referenced
in such contracts.
