Himalaya Shipping Ltd. (HSHIP) - Conversion of share registration form and trading suspension

Himalaya Shipping Ltd. (HSHIP) - Conversion of share registration form and trading suspension

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 27, 2023

On 20 March 2023, Himalaya Shipping Ltd. ("Himalaya" or the "Company") announced

that it would change the company's registration form in Euronext Securities Oslo

(the "VPS") to prepare its corporate infrastructure for its announced listing on

NYSE.

To facilitate transfer of shares between NYSE and Euronext Expand, the Company

will amend the registration structure for its shares whereby all shares will be

primarily held and settled within the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") in the

United States and secondarily held and settled in Euronext Securities Oslo (the

"VPS") through a Central Securities Depository ("CSD") link (the "Conversion").

Following the Conversion, the Company's shares will be able to be moved between

the DTC and VPS to enable trading between the respective trading venues once the

Company's shares are listed on NYSE. A trading suspension in the Company's

shares will be required for a period of time in connection with the Conversion,

expected to be two trading days, and the Company will make a request to Oslo

Børs to approve such suspension. No action will be required by an investor

holding shares in the VPS in connection with the Conversion and investors'

registered holdings in the VPS will continue.

The Company's shares will continue to trade under the same ISIN as today

(BMG4660A1036) but change its ticker on Euronext Expand to "HSHP".

The Conversion is expected to be completed during the period March 28, 2023, to

March 29, 2023. Due to technical settlement requirements in the VPS, a trading

suspension in the Company's shares will be required at least from and including

March 28, 2023, to and including March 29, 2023 and possibly March 30, 2023. The

Company will make a request to Oslo Børs to approve the trading suspension prior

to implementation of the Conversion. During the trading suspension, the

Company's shares will be temporarily suspended from trading on Euronext Expand.

From the perspective of an investor holding the Company's shares in the VPS, the

last settlement cycle for shares traded prior to the trading suspension will

take place on March 29, 2023. Investors trading in the Company's shares prior to

the start of the trading suspension should not agree to settlement periods that

would imply settlement after March 29, 2023. Any such trades with settlement

after March 29, 2023, are expected to be cancelled.

Following completion of the Conversion, the trading suspension will end, and the

Company's shares will resume trading as normal, which is expected to occur from

and including the start of trading on March 30 or 31, 2023. The Company's shares

will then trade under the new ticker "HSHP". The Company will announce when the

trading on Euronext Expand will resume.

Following completion of the Conversion, the Company's shares will be registered

in the Company's Register of Members in Bermuda in the name of DTC's nominee,

Cede & Co. and DTC will act as the primary securities depository for the shares.

All shares in the Company will be primarily recorded in the DTC and secondarily

recorded in the VPS through a CSD link. DNB Bank ASA, Registrars' Department

(the "VPS Registrar") will continue to administrate the Company's VPS register.

but has not yet become effective. The new shares may not be sold nor may offers

to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes
