*C.K. Limited is the trustee of two trusts (the “Trusts”) settled by Mr. John Fredriksen. The Trusts indirectly hold all of the shares of Greenwich Holdings Limited and Famatown Finance Limited. Accordingly, C.K. Limited, as trustee, may be deemed to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares that are beneficially owned by Greenwich Holdings Limited and owned by Famatown Finance Limited.  The beneficiaries of the Trusts are members of Mr. Fredriksen’s family. Mr. Fredriksen is neither a beneficiary nor a trustee of either Trust. Therefore, Mr. Fredriksen has no economic interest in such Ordinary Shares and Mr. Fredriksen disclaims any control over such Ordinary Shares, save for any indirect influence he may have with C.K. Limited, as the trustee of the Trusts, in his capacity as the settlor of the Trusts.

Limited, a Jersey company (“C.K. Limited”), with respect to the Ordinary Shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Euronav NV (the “Issuer”).
