FRO - Marshall Islands Lawsuit Update
Frontline Ltd. (NYSE/OSE: FRO) today announced that the Marshall Islands Court has agreed to hear its request for a preliminary injunction against DHT Holdings on May 17, 2017. Frontline
seeks an order requiring DHT to set aside its poison pill and other improper takeover defenses DHT has erected to entrench itself and its management against offers by Frontline and other
third-party bidders (aside from BW Group).
We continue to urge the Board of DHT to negotiate in good faith with Frontline over its proposed offer, for the benefit of all DHT shareholders and consistent with the Board's fiduciary
duties. We will explore all available courses to ensure DHT shareholders receive equitable treatment.
