Company Announcement No. 4/2013

Published via NASDAQ OMX on 23 April 2013

This Tuesday, 23 April 2013, Nordic Shipholding A/S held its ordinary general
meeting with the agenda published in the notice convening the meeting dated 27
March 2013.

The annual report for the financial year 2012 and the board's proposal to cover
the year's losses were adopted.

Following the board's proposal, the company's management and board of directors
were granted discharge.

The board elaborated on the company's financial situation given the fact that
the company's has lost its equity capital, including discussing the cause for
the loss and the prospects for the company to stay in operation. The company's
equity capital is lost and negative by USD 37.4 million. The main cause is the
expiry of moratorium on 30 June 2013, as set out in the company's annual
report, which results is a depreciation of the company's vessels by USD 37.7
million and a likewise depreciation of goodwill by USD 2 million. As already
mentioned, the board and the company's banks are striving to find a more
permanent solution to the company's financial problems. These efforts may,
inter alia, include a refinancing of the company by injecting new equity
capital from new or existing shareholders, and - as part of such injection of
equity capital - the possibility for the company's banks to convert part of
their outstanding loans to new shares in the company. Should it not be possible
to find a new investor, the company's banks desire a controlled winding-up of
the company.

The board's proposals to change of the company's domicile as well as amending
item 6.4 in the articles of association on location for convening the company's
general meeting were adopted. Finally, the board's proposal to amend item 11.2
of the articles of association to read that board members elected by the
general meeting shall number 3-8 members going forward was adopted.

company's board of directors was adopted.

company's own shares.
