"General Meeting") has approved the proposed shareholder distribution of USD
0.64 per share, as conditionally announced on 27 August 2026. All other
resolutions proposed by CMB.TECH's Supervisory Board are also approved.
Approval of the Distribution
The General Meeting approved a total distribution of USD 0.64 per share,
consisting of (i) an intermediary dividend of USD 0.21 per share (subject to 30%
withholding tax, to the extent no exemption or reduction applies) and (ii) a
payment of USD 0.43 per share out of the available share premium (which is
exempt from withholding tax) (the "Distribution").
The Supervisory Board has determined the following timing for the payment of the
Distribution:

The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") settles its trades on a T+1 basis, while
Euronext Brussels ("Euronext") and the Euronext Oslo Børs ("OSE") settle their
trades on a T+2 basis. As a result, there will be different ex-dividend dates
between the exchanges.

shares that are registered in the VPS settlement system in order to be traded on
OSE is expected to be distributed to VPS shareholders on or about 27 October
2026.
No withholding tax is due on the USD 0.43 per share distribution out of the
share premium reserve. The intermediary dividend of USD 0.21 per share is, in
its entirety, subject to 30% withholding tax to the extent that no exemption or
reduction applies. The company encourages you to contact your bank, broker,
nominee or other institution if you have any questions regarding the mechanics
and timing of having the Distribution attributable to your common shares
credited to your account.

minimum USD 50 million and maximum USD 250 million out of the available share
premium.

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking
statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe
harbour protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage
companies to provide prospective information about their business.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and
other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The
Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbour provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various
assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,
including without limitation, our management's examination of historical
operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from
third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and
are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish
these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our
view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in

perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies,
general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel
values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating
expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market
for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty
performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such
financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions
taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future
litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential
disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels
breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see our filings
