FRO - Results from Special General Meeting

FRO - Results from Special General Meeting

Hamilton, Bermuda, January 29, 2016

Frontline Ltd. (the "Company"), advises that the Special General Meeting of the

shareholders of the Company was held on January 29, 2016 and the shareholders

approved a Capital Reorganisation including a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the

Company's ordinary shares.

The Capital Reorganisation will take effect, and the Company's ordinary shares

will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange

("NYSE") as of the opening of trading on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 and the

Oslo Stock Exchange ("OSE") on February 4, 2016, under the existing trading

symbol "FRO."  Conversion of the Company's shares between the NYSE and OSE will

be restricted from February 1, 2016 to February 4, 2016.  The new CUSIP number

and ISIN number for the ordinary shares following the reverse stock split are

G3682E192 and BMG3682E1921, respectively.

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every five shares of the

Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares will be automatically combined

into one issued and outstanding ordinary share. This will reduce the number of

outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 781.9 million shares to

approximately 156.3 million shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split of the

issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a

fractional share of the Company's ordinary shares will receive a cash payment in

lieu thereof at a price equal to that fraction to which the shareholder would

otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the Company's ordinary

shares on the NYSE on December 29, 2015.

Shareholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or

other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the

reverse stock split reflected in their accounts on or after February 3, 2016.

Such beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, or nominee for more

information.

Shareholders with shares held in certificate form will receive instructions from

the Company's exchange agent, Computershare, for exchanging their stock

certificates for a new certificate representing the ordinary shares resulting

from the reverse split.

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the

Company's proxy statement furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on

January 11, 2016, a copy of which is available on the Commission's website at

www.sec.gov.
