USD 327m of remaining capex is non-recourse, creating increased flexibility and implied optionality

  • USD 570m of remaining capex as of Q4'15 of which USD 327 million is non-recourse to Golden Ocean
  • 5 vessels have been delivered during Q1'16 to date and USD 156m of capex has been paid
  • Constructive discussions with yards on additional postponement of delivery of newbuildings, increasing the optionality further
  • Postponement of capex commitments likely, numbers above will be adjusted accordingly

GOGL will take an opportunistic view on taking delivery of non-recourse newbuildings

Strong support from relationship banks enables an attractive refinancing*

Amortization
holiday
• No fixed amortization for all secured loans throughout the 2.5-year waiver period removes
USD ~165m of scheduled amortization (USD ~65m p.a.)
• Cash sweep mechanism to enable deleveraging when the market improves (cash
sweep until deferred amount is repaid)
• Moderate increase in margins (LIBOR + 4.25% only on deferred amount)
Waiver of
covenants
• Waiver on relevant financial covenants mitigates financial risk
• MVC reduced to 100% reduces risk of capital calls from banks
• Removes risk of breaching market adjusted equity ratio covenant
• Limitations on dividends and further investments
• Company able to cancel the waiver period if in compliance with original covenants and back on
original repayment schedule
Fixed draw-down • Pre-agreed drawdown of USD 25 million per remaining capesize newbuilding eliminates
funding risk at delivery
• Creates visibility on the liquidity runway regardless of asset value development1)

Amended bank terms ensures attractive cash break even rates*

Macro Update

Herman Billung, CEO Golden Ocean Management AS

Orderbook at its lowest level since 2007 Significant slippage / cancellation expected

Significant increase in scrapping over the last 5 years 2016 run-rate scrapping of ~60mdwt

  • Scrapping activity increased recent years
  • Average scrapping last 5Y of ~25m dwt vs. ~5m dwt over the period from 2006-2011
  • Increasingly younger vessels are being scrapped
  • Average scrapping age for capesizes in 2016 to date of 20 years

21 capesizes scrapped YTD implying an annual run rate of 180 capesizes, or ~ 30m dwt p.a.

Over 20 % of current fleet is scrapping candidates over the next 3 years

Dry bulk scrapping potential – 2016-2018

Other sizes Capesize Cumulative % of current fleet (rhs)

Chinese iron ore imports expected to increase as domestic producers are shedding capacity

Chinese steel production and exports Chinese iron ore production and imports

  • Chinese steel production expected to flatten (or decline slightly) towards 2019
  • However, Chinese steel mills will continue to increase requirements for imports of iron ore, as a result of declining domestic production

2019E

0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80%

Significant iron ore capacity to enter the market in 2016

Break even prices (CIF) for key iron ore producers Capacity for key iron ore producers

  • Australian and Brazilian mining companies have dramatically reduced their production costs
  • Vale has also cut its cash break-even costs, but is penalized by higher shipping costs
  • Australia and Brazil forecasted to increase their share of Chinese iron ore requirements

Strong and stable growth in Indian coal imports expected Chinese imports expected to remain flat

  • Coal remains China's main source of energy (~63%)
  • International coal prices have fallen below China's domestic prices, making imports more commercially attractive

  • Strong growth in demand for energy expected as ~300 million people are still without electricity in India

  • Coal is still India's primary source of energy (~59%)
  • India is planning to double its coal production to 1.5 bn tonnes by 2020
  • Infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of private mining capacity are likely to cause delays

Considerations

The market continues to be oversupplied

  • Current utilization of ~75% and depressed charter rates
  • The present spot market not sustainable for asset owners supply will come down
  • Significant increase in scrapping and non deliveries of newbuildings if 2016 materializes in accordance with the FFA curve
  • 21 capesizes scrapped to date, implying a run-rate of 30m dwt
  • Consensus expecting a demand growth of ~2% p.a. through 2018
  • Implies accumulated demand growth of ~50mdwt
  • Utilization sensitive to demand assumption that could surprise on the upside

Iron ore imports to China will continue to grow even in a "zero-growth-steel-production-scenario"

  • Consensus expects substitution of domestic iron ore production of 75 mdtw next three years
  • 200 million mt of new capacity will come on stream from the major producers in Australia and Brazil which have significantly reduced its production cost
  • 1 million ton equivalent to the employment of one capesize vessel
  • Chinese coal producers under severe financial and ecological pressure
  • Approx. 1000 coal mines have been suspended in 2015, another 1,300 expected to close down this year
  • China produced 3.5 billion mt of coal in 2015 1% less domestic production is equivalent to increased imports of 35 million mt
