Frontline Ltd. announces delisting from London Stock Exchange

Frontline Ltd. announces delisting from London Stock Exchange

Frontline Ltd. (the "Company" or "Frontline") announces today that it has

requested the UK Listing Authority (the "UKLA") to cancel the listing of all of

its ordinary shares of USD$1.00 each (LSE: FRO) ("Ordinary Shares") listed on

the standard listing segment of the Official List of the UKLA ("Official List")

and admitted to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed

securities ("Main Market") with effect from the opening of the market on 2

November 2015.

The Company believes that, given the limited liquidity of the Ordinary Shares,

the costs and administrative burden of maintaining the listing on the Official

List and admission to trading on the Main Market are disproportionate to the

benefits thereof.

Accordingly, the last day of dealings in the Company's Ordinary Shares on the

Main Market will be 30 October 2015.

Forward -Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking

statements.  Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans,

objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying

assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical

facts. Words such as, but not limited to, "believe," "anticipate," "intends,"

"estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should,"

"expect," "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding:

* The effectuation of the transaction between Frontline and Frontline 2012

described above;

* Frontline's and Frontline 2012's future operating or financial results;

* Future, pending or recent acquisitions, business strategy, areas of possible

expansion, and expected capital spending or operating expenses; and

* Tanker market trends, including charter rates and factors affecting vessel

supply and demand.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various

assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,

including without limitation, examination of historical operating trends, data

contained in records and other data available from third parties. Although

Frontline believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because

these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and

contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the

control of Frontline, Frontline cannot assure you that they, or the Combined

Company (as defined in Frontline's press release of 2 July 2015), will achieve

or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. In addition to these

important factors, other important factors that could cause actual results to

differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements,

including the strength of world economies and currencies, general market

conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes

in demand for tanker shipping capacity, changes in the Combined Company's

operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the

market for the Combined Company's vessels, availability of financing and

refinancing, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by

regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation,

general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of

shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and

instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see Frontline's filings with

the SEC for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and

uncertainties. The information set forth herein speaks only as of the date

hereof, and Frontline disclaims any intention or obligation to update any

forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date

of this communication.
