FSL Trust completes the disposal of its two LR2 Product Tanker Newbuildings and the sale of one Product Tanker

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of FSL Trust Management Pte. Ltd., as trustee-manager (the “Trustee-Manager”) of First Ship Lease Trust (“FSL Trust” or the “Trust”), refers to its announcement dated 17 February 2021 and further announces that the disposal (the “Disposal”) of the two LR2 product tanker newbuildings FSL Suez (hull no. N944) and FSL Fos (hull no. N945) (the “Vessels”) has been completed with the successful delivery to their new unaffiliated owners, guaranteed nominees of General Maritime Transport Company, a state-owned Libyan shipping company on 24 February 2021 and 26 February 2021, respectively.
After taking into consideration the Vessels’ contract price and other costs associated with their construction (such as the acquisition of exhaust gas cleaning systems, other equipment acquired by the Trust and installed on the Vessels, the construction supervision and legal fees), as well as the cost of the Disposal (including brokerage commissions and legal fees), the Trust realised an aggregate net gain of approximately US$ 0.5 million and aggregate net sale proceeds of approximately US$ 103.8 million (both unaudited). An amount of US$ 12.5 million of the aggregate net sale proceeds was used towards the full and final repayment of the zero interest bridge facility from Prime Shareholdings Inc.
The Disposal was made in the ordinary course of business.
In addition the Board of Directors of FSL Trust Management Pte. Ltd., as trustee-manager (the “Trustee-Manager”) of First Ship Lease Trust (“FSL Trust” or the “Trust”), announces that a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Trust has entered into a memorandum of agreement to sell the vessel FSL Osaka (the “Vessel”) to an unaffiliated third party and received the initial 10% deposit in escrow.
The Vessel is a 45,998 DWT medium-range product tanker built at Shin Kurushima in Japan in 2007 and has been deployed in a pool.
The disposal is made in the ordinary course of business. Details of the net proceeds of the disposal and their utilization will be announced upon completion of the disposal.
