This increase is attributed to two separate events: the delivery of the sixth LR2 product tanker vessel from an eight-vessel acquisition announced in November 2023, which accounted for 698,590 shares, and the exercise of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as part of the company's incentive program, adding 46,078 shares. The capital raised from the new shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen, will be used to settle a $22.1 million loan note issued for the vessel delivery and to subscribe for shares in cash by employees exercising RSUs. The new shares are subject to a 40-day lock-up period, with certain conditions for resale, especially outside the United States. Following the capital increase, TORM's share capital stands at $920,944.82, divided into 92,094,480 A-shares.
