CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this document may constitute forward-looking statements.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor

protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to

provide prospective information about their business.  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.

Frontline desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary

statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe,"

"anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential,"

"will," "may," "should," "expect," "targets," "likely," "could," "seeks,"

"continue," "possible," "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-

looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various

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

including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating

trends, data contained in Frontline's 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 Frontline's control, you cannot be assured that Frontline

will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Frontline

undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the

statement to actual results or changes in expectations.

Important factors that, in Frontline's view, could cause actual results to

differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements

include, without limitation: the strength of world economies and currencies,

general market conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and

vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including but not limited

to changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption

and storage, the anticipated global economic uncertainty and financial market

conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in Frontline's operating

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

for Frontline's vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, ability to

comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, failure of counterparties

to fully perform their contracts with us, 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, vessel breakdowns, instances of off-hire and other important

factors.  For a more complete discussion of these and other risks and

uncertainties associated with Frontline's business, please refer to Frontline's

filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited

to, its annual report on Form 20-F.
