"With reference to Company Announcement no. 03 dated 01 March 2021 regarding the acquisition of eight 2007-2012 built MR product tanker vessels from TEAM Tankers Deep Sea Ltd, TORM plc (“TORM”) has increased its share capital by 877,128 A-shares (corresponding to USD 8,771.28) as a result of the delivery of the first vessel of the transaction, the MR vessel TEAM Corrido," TORM said in its news release.
The capital increase is carried out without any pre-emption rights for existing shareholders or others.

The new shares are ordinary shares without any special rights and are negotiable instruments. The new shares give right to dividends and other rights in relation to TORM as of the date of issuance. The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen on 14 April 2021. The new shares will be freely transferable on Nasdaq Copenhagen, but certain transfer restrictions may apply under U.S. securities laws.
