Gram Car Carriers ASA: Sale of two distribution vessels

Oslo, 5 July 2023: Gram Car Carriers ASA ("GCC") has signed an agreement to sell

two Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC) Distribution vessels, the Viking

Constanza (2,000 CEU, built 2010) and the Viking Princess (1,000 CEU, built

1996), for a total cash consideration of USD 43.5 million to modernise the fleet

and capitalise on historically high second-hand vessel values.

GCC expects to recognise a total book gain of USD 19 million upon completion of

the sale of the two vessels, with the Viking Constanza to be delivered to the

new owner in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the Viking Princess to be delivered

in the first quarter of 2024. The buyer of the two vessels is an undisclosed

European-based vehicle logistics company.

"The transaction supports our strategy of owning and operating a modern fleet

which reflects the demand from our customers, the world's leading operators of

PCTC tonnage. We are capturing additional value in a historically strong car

shipping market and will free up capital to both strengthen our balance sheet

and support dividend distributions in line with our policy of paying 75% of net

income," said Georg A. Whist, the CEO of GCC.

GCC selectively pursues transactions with the aim of creating shareholder value

in combination with the day-to-management of the owned and operated fleet. This

may include vessels acquisitions that are accretive to earnings and dividend

capacity, and divestments that are likely to unlock additional value beyond

cashflow generation through high asset prices and fleet optimisation.
