UPDATE ON EMERGENCY ARBITRATION

ANTWERP, Belgium, February 7, 2023 – Euronav NV (“EURN” or “Euronav”) (NYSE: EURN & Euronext: EURN) hereby informs its shareholders with reference to Euronav’s press releases dated 17 and 30 January 2023 that today it has received an arbitration decision in the context of its application request for urgent interim and conservatory measures in relation to Frontline’s (NYSE: FRO & OSE: FRO) unilateral action in pursuing the termination of the combination agreement of July 10, 2022.

The emergency arbitrator has dismissed Euronav’s request for provisional and interim measures on the basis of the specific and procedural rules applicable to the emergency proceedings and in particular:

- a lack of urgency for Euronav in obtaining the requested interim and provisional measures.

Euronav continues to believe that Frontline’s unilateral action in pursuing the termination of the combination agreement has no basis under the terms of the combination agreement and that Frontline failed to provide a satisfactory justification for its decision to pursue termination.

Only the arbitration procedure on the merits that was initiated by Euronav on 28 January 2023 will decide on the merits of the validity of such termination.

Euronav is in the process of analysing the Company’s options and will continue to take appropriate legal action to protect and preserve the rights and interests of Euronav and its stakeholders.

Euronav continues to communicate and maintain a constructive dialogue with its shareholders. In particular, in view of Euronav’s upcoming general shareholders’ meeting convened at the request of CMB NV that will be held on 23 March 2023, Euronav believes that governance tailored to all of Euronav’s shareholders and stakeholders, with directors with a constructive mindset, should remain Euronav’s goal, which requires retaining a proportional independence and a high degree of continuity of the Supervisory Board to ensure value protection for all shareholders and compliance with Belgian corporate governance standards.

For this purpose, on 4 February 2023, the Euronav Supervisory Board sent a letter to CMB NV and Famatown Finance Limited to request each of them to consider a Euronav Supervisory Board composition representing the current proportionate shareholding structure of Euronav, with two (2) newly appointed non-independent members nominated by CMB NV (being Messrs. Marc Saverys and Patrick De Brabandere) and two (2) newly appointed non-independent members to be nominated by Famatown Finance Limited. CMB NV has on 6 February 2023 responded that it is not inclined to agree and that all mandates should be up for discussion to allow for a comprehensive deliberation. Famatown has not responded to the contents of the proposal.

Euronav will continue to update the market in accordance with applicable regulations.
