March 31, 2015 - The closing of the previously announced merger between

Knightsbridge Shipping Limited ("Knightsbridge") and Golden Ocean Group Limited

("Golden Ocean") with Knightsbridge as the surviving entity is expected to occur

after the close of trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on March 31, 2015. The

Shareholders of Golden Ocean as of the expiry of March 31, 2015 (cut-off date)

as they will appear in Golden Ocean's shareholders register with the VPS as of

expiry of April 7, 2015 (record date), will receive 0.13749 common shares of the

combined company for each share they own in Golden Ocean as of expiry of the

cut-off date as recorded with the VPS on the record date, rounded down to the

nearest whole common share. Delivery of shares will take place on April

8, 2015. The combined company will not issue any fractional shares and each

will trade under the ticker symbol "GOGL" on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The

combined company's shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market

under the ticker symbol "GOGL" on April 1, 2015.
