NEW YORK, March 30 -- Scorpio Tankers Inc. ("Scorpio Tankers") announced today that it has priced its initial public offering of 12,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $13.00 per share.
 
The offering is expected to close on April 6, 2010.  The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.  Scorpio Tankers' common stock is scheduled to begin trading on March 31, 2010 on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "STNG."
 
Scorpio Tankers currently owns three tanker vessels and plans to use the proceeds of the offering, together with a commitment letter for a new $150 million senior secured credit facility, to repay its existing credit facility and, after assessing any working capital and other general corporate expense needs, pursue vessel acquisitions consistent with its strategy of purchasing modern tankers ranging in size from approximately 35,000 deadweight tons, or dwt, to approximately 200,000 dwt, and that generally are not more than five years old.
