BW LPG to Nominate Three Independent, Highly Qualified Director Candidates

to Stand for Election at Dorian’s 2018 Annual Meeting

Compelling Merger Proposal Warrants Engagement

Urges Dorian Shareholders to Vote the WHITE Proxy Card

OSLO – July 16, 2018 – BW LPG Limited (“BW LPG”, the “Company”, OSE ticker code “BWLPG”) today announced that it has notified Dorian LPG (“Dorian”) (NYSE: LPG) of its intention to nominate three independent, highly qualified individuals to stand for election to Dorian’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at Dorian’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

BW LPG intends to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), accompanied by a WHITE proxy card, in connection with Dorian’s 2018 Annual Meeting.

On May 29, 2018, BW LPG proposed to combine with Dorian in an all-stock transaction, under which Dorian shareholders would have received 2.05 BW LPG shares for each Dorian share. On July 9, 2018, BW LPG increased its all-stock proposal to combine with Dorian, under which Dorian shareholders would receive 2.12 BW LPG shares for each Dorian share. Based on BW LPG’s current price of NOK 34.06 per share and an NOK/USD exchange rate of 8.13 as of July 13, 2018, BW LPG’s proposal to combine with Dorian values each Dorian share at USD $8.88 per share, representing a 28% premium to Dorian’s unaffected share price of USD $6.96 as of May 25, 2018, the last trading day prior to the announcement of BW LPG’s initial proposal, and a premium of 19% to the long-term historical exchange ratio of Dorian and BW LPG since Dorian’s IPO.

BW LPG Chief Executive Officer, Martin Ackermann, said, “We are nominating three independent, highly qualified directors who each have a proven track record and have expressed their commitment to act in the best interest of all Dorian shareholders. Since announcing our proposal to combine with Dorian, the feedback we have received from a significant percentage of Dorian’s shareholders has been overwhelmingly positive, including a recent public letter of support from SEACOR Holdings, one of Dorian’s largest shareholders. We have been clear that our preference is to engage in meaningful discussions with Dorian regarding our proposed combination and we remain ready to do so. Due to Dorian’s continued refusal to engage meaningfully with us on a proposed combination, we have decided to go directly to shareholders with our director nominees. We urge all Dorian shareholders to make their voices heard by voting to elect directors who are open to exploring opportunities to maximize value.”
