The board of directors of BW LPG Limited ("BW LPG” or the "Company") propose to implement a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") between the Company and its shareholders pursuant to Section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 as amended (the "Bermuda Companies Act”) in order to effect a discontinuance of the Company from Bermuda and continuance to Singapore in accordance with the provisions of Section 132G of the Bermuda Companies Act and Part 10A of the Singapore Companies Act 1967 (the "Redomiciliation").

There will be a hearing on 15 May 2024 at 9:30 a.m. (Bermuda time) at which the Supreme Court of Bermuda will be asked to give directions as to the convening of a meeting of shareholders of the Company that are eligible to vote on the Scheme.

Please see the attached practice statement letter for further information about the proposed Scheme and the court hearing which has been distributed to the shareholders today. Further information about the Scheme and the effects of the Redomiciliation will be made available to the shareholders following the court hearing.

Subject to the Scheme being effective, the proposed Redomiciliation will be carried out by way of a discontinuance and continuance process, whereby the Company is continued into Singapore as the same company. Under Singapore law, the transfer of domicile will be a direct redomiciliation from Bermuda, and the Company will accordingly have the same assets and liabilities as prior to redomiciling. The board of directors and the management of the Company will also remain the same.

The Company’s name BW LPG and ticker on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange will remain the same after the Redomiciliation. Following the Redomiciliation, the Company will have a new company registration number and the Company’s shares will have a new CUSIP and a new ISIN code, but the Company will retain its LEI code. The Company's registered office will be the current office address in Singapore, 10 Pasir Panjang Road, #17-02, Mapletree Business City, Singapore 117438.

The effective date of the Redomiciliation is expected to be in Q3 2024.
