Dr Helmut Sohmen Retires As Chairman of BW Group and BW Offshore Boards (Bermuda, 20 November 2014) Dr. Helmut Sohmen has announced his retirement effective 20 November as Chairman of the Board of BW Group Limited and BW Offshore Limited, having served the group for 44 years with 28 years as Chairman. Dr Sohmen's son Andreas has been elected as the new Chairman of both companies. He will retain his current role as BW Group CEO until 1 April 2015, when Carsten Mortensen will take on the role of CEO. These changes are part of a planned leadership transition. Helmut Sohmen comments: “It has been a privilege to oversee BW’s growth from a tanker and dry bulk business to a significant maritime oil and gas player involved in LNG, LPG, crude, products, chemicals and FPSOs. Andreas has been with BW for the past 15 years and I am confident that under his leadership, the company will continue to grow.” Andreas Sohmen-Pao says: “My father has guided the company through numerous cycles over a period of forty years, and has been an exceptional Chairman to the group. He has shaped the group’s values and reputation, and his strong and decisive leadership has brought us to where we are today. Both of us are very grateful to our dedicated colleagues around the world who have been instrumental in the group’s success.” For further information, please contact: Lisa Lim Manager, Communications and Brand Tel: +65 9654 9405 Email: [email protected] About BW Group The BW Group was founded by Sir Yue-kong Pao in 1955 as World-Wide Shipping in Hong Kong, growing to become the world's largest privately-owned bulk shipping fleet by 1979. The corporate acquisitions of N&T Argonaut of Sweden and Bergesen dy ASA of Norway in 2001 and 2003 provided a strong platform for expansion into the gas and offshore sectors. .

Standard Chartered closes three shipping deals in excess of USD1.6 billion USD350 million loan to National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia USD572 million term loan to Reliance Group of India USD684.5 million loan to BW Gas JuJu LNG Limited 17 January 2017, Dubai, UAE – Standard Chartered is pleased to announce the completion of three shipping finance deals for clients in Asia and the Middle East. These transactions highlight Standard Chartered’s strengths in advising and structuring optimal solutions for clients, its continued commitment to the shipping industry and in particular, continued commitment to clients and the shipping community in the Middle East. In November last year, the Bank leveraged its strong expertise in shipping finance and Islamic financing to structure the USD350 million senior secured Murabaha facility for National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (“Bahri”). This facility will be used by Bahri to finance the construction and delivery of five Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), which will be delivered in early 2018. As the exclusive carrier of Saudi Aramco’s crude oil sold on a delivered basis, Bahri will use these VLCCs to transport crude oil to the Americas, South Asia and Far East. This was a landmark shipping transaction in the Middle East for 2016, where Standard Chartered led as bookrunner, mandated lead arranger, investment agent and account bank with participation from three other banks. Standard Chartered also closed a USD572 million senior secured term loan facilities to subsidiaries of Reliance Group (“Reliance”) closed in October 2016 will finance six units of Very Large Ethane Gas Carriers.
