Bruton Limited (Euronext Growth Oslo: BRUT) (the “Company”) hereby refers to its press release on 11 September 2025 and announces that it will make a conditional offer to the shareholders in Andes Tankers II Ltd. (“Andes Tankers II”). In exchange for the shares in Andes Tankers II, the Company shall issue consideration shares to the shareholders in Andes Tankers II.

Anders Tankers II has 2 scrubber fitted VLCC newbuilding contracts at New Times Shipyard, with delivery in Q3 and Q4 2027. If the offer is successful, the Company will have 4 VLCCs under construction at New Times Shipyard and have paid 10% of the newbuilding prices on these 4 vessels.

The offer is conditional upon the Company successfully completing a private placement as indicated in its press release on 11 September 2025. Such Private Placement is not yet launched.

The board of directors of the Company and Andes Tankers II have discussed the terms of the share exchange with each other and certain independent shareholders in Andes Tankers II. Having considered the assets and prospects of the two company groups as substantially similar but also acknowledging certain differences, in particular relating to the dual fuel capabilities and earlier vessel deliveries for the Company, the board of directors of the companies have agreed on an exchange ratio of 0.806 consideration share issued by the Company for each share in Andes Tankers II. The board of directors of Andes Tankers II has confirmed its recommendation to the shareholders to approve the offer on this basis.

Koch Shipping Pte Ltd., Drew Holdings Ltd., Songa Shipping Invest AS, and Uthalden AS, Celina Midelfart and MH Capital AS have committed to accepting the offer on the terms described herein, in total representing 83.2% of the Andes Tankers II shares.

The total number of shares that may be issued, assuming that the Company acquires all Andes Tankers II shares, is 11,163,100, giving a total share outstanding of 26,763,100 shares. This is prior to any further equity issuance as described in the press release on 11 September 2025.

The offer will be valid until 31 October 2025. In addition to the above, completion of the offer is conditional upon certain customary conditions, including (i) appropriate corporate approvals, (ii) a successful private placement in the Company, (iii) acceptance of the offer by the Andes Tankers II shareholders and (iv) delivery of the Andes Tankers II shares to the Company.

The Consideration Shares will be in the same class of shares as the existing shares in the Company, and will have a par value of USD 0.10 and will be recorded in Euronext Securities Oslo (“Euronext VPS”) upon delivery.
