The Group’s and the Company’s results are affected by the disposal of the remaining activities and the ongoing liquidation. • Please refer to Interim Report H1 2022 announced on 24 August 2022 for the discussion on the prior activities of the Company. In H2 2022, the financial result was affected by administration costs and adjustments related to the prior activities of the Group. • With the commitment and continual support from the majority shareholder of Nordic Shipholding A/S, Nordic Maritime S.à r.l., the Board of Directors called for an Extraordinary General Meeting (‘EGM’) on 23 December 2022 to initiate a voluntary solvent liquidation of the Company. No distribution of funds to the shareholders is anticipated upon completion of the liquidation. • To enable the liquidation to be solvent, the majority shareholder has agreed to waive the necessary part of its loan to the Group. It is expected that the aggregate cash balance of Nordic Shipholding A/S and its subsidiaries is sufficient to cover the estimated liquidation expenses and settlement of all creditors other than the main shareholder loan. Any excess funds will be used to repay the shareholder loan whereafter it has been agreed with the majority shareholder to waive the remaining debt at that point in time. It is expected that the liquidation will be finalised by the end of 2023. • As a consequence of the resolution passed during the EGM on 23 December 2022 to liquidate the Company by voluntary solvent liquidation, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board resigned, the Company's name was changed to "Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation", and the Company's signature rule was changed to "The Company shall be bound by the signature of the liquidator". In addition, Miss Louise Celia Korpela, Gorrissen Federspiel Advokatpartnerselskab, was appointed as liquidator. For the purpose of this report, references to ‘Nordic Shipholding A/S’ also refer to ‘Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation’. • So far, the liquidation is proceeding as planned. 2 Group Key Figures 2018-2022 Amounts in USD thousand 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 Income statement Revenue 5,855 21,519 42,319 36,119 32,787 2,908 10,380 27,766 22,498 19,173 EBITDA (82) 42 13,942 6,840 2,036 Operating result (EBIT) 154 (3,899) (12,551) 1,312 (17,801) Net financials 2,643 (1,864) (3,900) (5,208) (5,971) Result after tax 2,797 (5,763) (16,451) (3,906) (23,772) Comprehensive income 2,797 (5,763) (16,451) (3,906) (23,772) Balance sheet and cashflow data Invested capital 128 3,114 56,714 85,702 89,605 Net working capital (NWC) 128 3,114 3,623 6,191 5,509 Equity (11,515) (14,312) (8,549) 7,902 11,808 Balance sheet total 4,912 44,011 66,510 98,053 103,887 - - 73 6,220 974 Net interest bearing debt - 39,926 53,652 67,363 68,505 Cash flow from operating activities 3,027 (711) 14,766 3,204 (2,738) Cash flow for the year 1,949 (2,848) (139) (3,071) 5,288 Financial Ratios EBITDA margin (%) -1.4% 0.2% 32.9% 18.9% 6.2% Net result margin (%) 47.8% -26.8% -38.9% -10.8% -72.5% Equity ratio (%) -234.4% -32.5% -12.9% 8.1% 11.4% Net working capital/revenue 27.7% 15.7% 11.6% 16.2% 15.5% Key figures per share Earnings/(loss) per share USD 0.01 (0.01) (0.04) (0.01) (0.06) Market price per share DKK, year end 0.06 0.09 0.34 0.54 0.37 Market price per share USD, year end 0.01 0.01 0.06 0.08 0.06 Exchange rate USD/DKK, year end 6.95 6.54 6.09 6.66 6.51 Average number of full time employees 1 1 1 1 1 Number of shares, year end 406,158,403 406,158,403 406,158,403 406,158,403 406,158,403 Time charter equivalent revenue (TCE revenue) Investments in plant and equipment 3 Outlook for 2023 With the decision to liquidate the Company and the Group in December 2022, the Liquidator will liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries, which is expected to be finalised by the end of 2023. All creditors and liquidation costs will be covered by the current cash held by the Company and the Group, and the solvent liquidation is ensured with the waiver of the majority shareholder loan until all expenses and creditors are covered. No distribution of funds to the shareholders is anticipated upon completion of the liquidation. 4 Financial Review 2022 Financial highlights of the Group in 2022 (2021 figures in brackets) Including a reversal of impairment losses on assets held-for-sale of USD 0.2 million in 2022 (net impairment losses of USD 2.3 million) and an one-off recognition of finance income, the Group incurred a net profit of USD 2.8 million in 2022 compared to a loss after tax of USD 5.8 million in 2021. Revenue generated in 2022 was USD 5.9 million (USD 21.5 million), resulted in a TCE revenue of USD 2.9 million (USD 10.4 million). EBITDA (earnings before depreciation, impairment, amortisation, interest and tax) amounted to negative USD 82 thousands (USD 42 thousands) and after accounting for depreciation and impairment, the Group made a net operating profit of USD 0.2 million (operating loss of USD 3.9 million). • Revenue Revenue generated by the vessels in 2022 totalled USD 5.9 million (USD 21.5 million). The loss of earnings resulting from the sale of the remaining three vessels largely contributed to the decline in TCE revenue in 2022. After deduction of voyage expenses, the Group earned TCE revenue of USD 2.9 million (USD 10.4 million) in 2022. • Voyage expenses The decline in voyage expenses was in tandem with the loss of earnings from the sale of the remaining three vessels. • Operating Costs Expenses related to the operation of the vessels fell to USD 1.8 million (USD 9.0 million) mainly due to the sale of the remaining three vessels. Staff costs amounted to USD 0.2 million (USD 0.3 million) while other external costs decreased marginally to USD 1.2 million (USD 1.3 million). • Depreciation and write-downs A total depreciation of USD NIL (USD 1.6 million) was charged on the Group’s vessels and no depreciation was recognised in 2022 due to the classification of the remaining three vessels, Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy, as assets held-for-sale in June 2021. The Group recognised a reversal of previously recognised write-downs on assets held-for-sale of USD 0.2 million in 2022 as certain actual incremental expenses relating to the sale of vessels were lower than estimated. In 2021, net impairment losses of USD 2.3 million consist of (i) USD 4.5 million arising from the classification of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy as assets held-for-sale in June 2021, (ii) additional incremental sale expenses recognised in relation to Nordic Hanne and Nordic Pia of USD 0.4 million and (iii) a reversal of USD 2.6 million on assets held-for- sale as the aggregate gross sale price less estimated incremental sale expenses exceeds the aggregate carrying value of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy. 5 • Financial income and expenses Finance expenses decreased to USD 1.3 million (USD 3.2 million) due mainly to the settlement of the outstanding external bank loans following the sale of the vessels. An one-off finance income of USD 4.0 million (USD 1.4 million) representing the reduction of certain loan interest amounting to USD 3.9 million (USD 1.4 million) was recognised in 2022. • Tax The Company’s tax payment is primarily calculated according to the rules and regulations in Denmark. The Singapore Income Tax Act is applied for the Singapore-incorporated vessel- owning entities. For further information, please refer to Note 7 in the financial statements. • Assets At 31 December 2022, the Group’s balance sheet totalled USD 4.9 million (USD 44.0 million) comprising mainly of receivables and cash. Receivables amounted to USD 0.4 million as at 31 December 2022 (USD 4.5 million). The decrease was primarily due to the partial refund of pool working capital from the pools. As at 31 December 2022, the Group’s cash balance was USD 4.5 million (USD 2.5 million), after applying the net sale proceeds towards repayment of bank loans and the partial refund of pool working capital during the financial year. • Equity Equity improved to negative USD 11.5 million (negative USD 14.3 million) due to the net profit after tax of USD 2.8 million (net loss after tax of USD 5.8 million) recognised in 2022. • Liabilities Total liabilities amounted to USD 16.4 million (USD 58.3 million). The Group’s interest- bearing bank loans, including accrued interest, amounted to USD NIL (USD 42.5 million) as the external bank loans were fully settled in April 2022. The decrease in the Group’s interest- bearing bank loans was due to the (i) loan repayments via net proceeds from the sale of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy, internal cash and utilisation of USD 2.3 million under the banker’s guarantee issued by the majority shareholder of the Company to the lenders, (ii) reduction of certain loan interest amounting to USD 3.9 million, offset by (iii) accrual of loan interest. Loans due to majority shareholder increased by USD 3.3 million to USD 16.1 million (USD 12.8 million) due to the (i) interest accrued on the interest-bearing USD 9.0 million (USD 9.0 million) loans extended to the Group by the majority shareholder in 2018, (ii) the finance charge accrued on the USD 3.85 million Banker’s Guarantee provided by the majority shareholder as additional security to the lenders in Q1 2018 and (iii) utilisation of USD 2.3 million under the Banker’s Guarantee for loan repayment to the lenders. Trade payables amounted to USD 0.3 million at 31 December 2022 (USD 3.0 million). The decrease was primarily due to the reduced number of vessels deployed in the various pools. • Cash flows Cash flow from operations amounted to USD 3.0 million (negative USD 0.7 million) mainly from the partial refund of pool working capital from the pool. 6 Cash flow from investing activities amounted to USD 35.3 million (USD 14.2 million) due to the sale of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy (sale of Nordic Hanne and Nordic Pia). In 2022, cash flow from financing activities amounted to -USD 36.4 million (-USD 16.4 million) due to loan repayments via the net proceeds from the sale of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy, internal cash and utilisation of USD 2.3 million under the banker’s guarantee issued by the majority shareholder of the Company to the lenders. Cash flows for the year thus amounted to USD 1.9 million (USD -2.8 million), bringing the cash balance at year end to USD 4.5 million (USD 2.5 million). Financial highlights of the Company (Parent) in 2022 (2021 figures in brackets) The Company recognised a profit after tax of USD 2.8 million in 2022 (loss after tax of USD 5.8 million). The Company recognised a (i) net impairment loss of USD 0.3 million (impairment loss of USD 3.8 million) on its investment in subsidiaries and (ii) provision on amount payable to subsidiaries of USD 4.9 million. As a result, the Company’s equity improved to negative USD 11.5 million (negative USD 14.3 million). At 31 December 2022, the Company’s total assets amounted to USD 0.6 million (USD 0.1 million) due to write-back of impairment loss for its investment in certain subsidiaries. The Company’s total liabilities amounted to USD 12.1 million (USD 14.4 million) due to (i) interest accrued on the shareholder’s loan extended by the majority shareholder of the Company and (ii) additional provision for negative equity in certain subsidiaries, offset by reduction in payables to subsidiaries. 7 Statutory Corporate Governance Statement This statutory corporate governance statement covers the financial period 1 January to 31 December 2022. Corporate Governance Section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act requires Nordic Shipholding A/S to prepare a statement on corporate governance (The Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance of December 2, 2020) for the 2022 financial year. As the Company and the Group are in solvent liquidation, the Liquidator is responsible for the daily management of the Company and the Group activities until the solvent liquidation has been finalised. Consequently, the Danish corporate governance requirements for Danish listed companies are not considered relevant for Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation, hence the Company has decided not to apply the recommendations. Composition of the Board of Directors The Company’s Board of Directors and the Executive Board have been replaced by the Liquidator in connection with the decision to solvently liquidate the Company and the Group in December 2022. Report on the Gender Distribution in Management, cf. Section 99b of the Danish Financial Statements Act With the decision to solvently liquidate the Company and the Group in December 2022, the Liquidator does not find it relevant to establish any policies or targets concerning Section 99b of the Danish Financial Statements Act. Board Committees, including assessment of the performance of the Board of Directors and management With the decision to solvently liquidate the Company and the Group in December 2022, the Liquidator does not find this relevant. Whistle-blower This is not considered relevant as the Company and the Group are under solvent liquidation. 8 Internal Control Control environment Due to the liquidation, the Company and the Group are managed by the Liquidator, thus the internal control activities are limited. 9 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Data Ethics With the decision to solvently liquidate the Company and the Group in December 2022, the Liquidator does not find it relevant to establish any policies or targets concerning Corporate Social Responsibility and Data Ethics in accordance with the Danish Financial Statement Act Section 99a and 99d. 10 Shareholders Information Share data at 31 December 2022 Listed on: NASDAQ Copenhagen Share capital: DKK 40,615,840 Nominal value: DKK 0.1 Shares issued: 406,158,403 shares Shares trading on NASDAQ Copenhagen: 406,158,403 shares (Security ID code: DK0060083996) Share classes: One Votes per share: One Bearer share: Yes Restriction on voting rights: No Restricted negotiability: No For further corporate information please see www.nordicshipholding.com Movements in the Company’s share price at 31 December 2022 The closing price at year-end 2022 was DKK 0.06, a decrease of 33% compared with year-end 2021 (DKK 0.09). 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 Jan/22 Apr/22 Jul/22 Oct/22 Nordic Shipholding share price 2022 11 Shareholder structure At 31 December 2022, Nordic Shipholding A/S had 3,663 registered shareholders.

The annual report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the Company’s financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Company’s financial position at 31 December 2022 and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2022. Furthermore, in my opinion, the Management’s review (page 1 – 12) gives a true and fair review of the development in the Group’s and the Company’s operations and financial matters, the results of the Group and the Company for the year and the financial position as a whole, and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Group and the Company. In my opinion, the annual report of Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 with the file name NSH-2022-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation. I recommend that the annual report be adopted at the General Assembly. Copenhagen, 22 March 2023 Louise Celia Korpela The Liquidator 14 Independent Auditor’s Report To the shareholders of Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation Report on the audit of the financial statements Our opinion In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s financial position at 31 December 2022 and of the results of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor’s Long-form Report to the Liquidator. What we have audited The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Nordic Shipholding A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 comprise statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including summary of accounting policies for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements“. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided. Appointment We were first appointed auditors Nordic Shipholding A/S on 20 April 2012 for the financial year 2012. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of eleven years including the financial year 2022. We were reappointed following a tendering procedure at the General Meeting on 26 April 2022. Emphasis of matter - Solvent liquidation basis of the Company and the Group The Liquidator is in the process of a solvent liquidation of the Company and the Group. As stated in Note 0, the solvent liquidation of the Company and the Group is ensured by the waiver of the majority shareholder’s loans to the Group until all creditors and liquidation expenses are covered. The liquidator expects the current cash balance in the Group to be sufficient to cover all the estimated liquidation expenses and thereby ensuring the basis for a solvent liquidation of the Company and the Group. Our opinions are not modified in respect of this matter. 15 Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2022. Except for the matter described in the section Emphasis of matter - Solvent liquidation basis for the Company and the Group, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report. Statement on Management’s Review The Liquidator is responsible for the Management’s Review. Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management’s review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, the Management’s Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in the Management’s Review. Liquidator’s responsibilities for the financial statements The Liquidator is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as the Liquidator determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Financial Statements, the Liquidator is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting policies taking into account, the liquidation in progress. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 16 error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Liquidator. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Liquidator’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter. Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation As part of our audit of the financial statements we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of Nordic Shipholding A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 with the filename NSH-2022-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes. The Liquidator is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes: • The preparing of the Annual Report in XHTML format; • The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary; 17 • Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in human-readable format; and • For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation. Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include: • Testing whether the Annual Report is prepared in XHTML format; • Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process; • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes; • Evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified; • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements including notes. In our opinion, the Annual Report of Nordic Shipholding A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 with the file name NSH-2022-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

Liquidation basis With the commitment and continual support from the majority shareholder of Nordic Shipholding A/S, Nordic Maritime S.à r.l., the Board of Directors called for an EGM on 23 December 2022 to initiate a voluntary solvent liquidation of the Company. No distribution of funds to the shareholders is anticipated upon completion of the liquidation. To enable the liquidation to be solvent, the majority shareholder has agreed to waive the necessary part of its loan to the Group, under the following conditions: (i) the debt forgiveness will not be taxable for the Company and the Group, and (ii) no significant claims, which the Company and the Group are not aware of at 1 December 2022, are being raised against the majority shareholder. It is expected that the aggregate cash balance of Nordic Shipholding A/S and its subsidiaries is sufficient to cover the estimated liquidation expenses and settlement of all creditors other than the main shareholder loan. Any excess funds will be used to repay the shareholder loan whereafter it has been agreed with the majority shareholder to waive the remaining debt at that point in time. It is expected that the liquidation will be finalised by the end of 2023. As a consequence of the resolution passed during the EGM on 23 December 2022 to liquidate the Company by voluntary solvent liquidation, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board resigned, the Company's name was changed to "Nordic Shipholding A/S in liquidation", and the Company's signature rule was changed to "The Company shall be bound by the signature of the liquidator". In addition, Miss Louise Celia Korpela, Gorrissen Federspiel Advokatpartnerselskab, was appointed as liquidator. Hence, the Financial Statements for 2022 have been prepared on a liquidation basis. 1. Accounting policies Basis of preparation The annual report of Nordic Shipholding A/S which includes the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. The accounting policies are consistent with those applied to the annual report for 2021. As discussed in Note 0, the Financial Statements are prepared on a liquidation basis. Application of a liquidation basis has the following impact on the accounting policies and disclosures in the financial statements: • In the balance sheet, no distinction is made between current and non-current assets and liabilities. • Financial liabilities are measured at their nominal amount irrespective of any debt modifications upon entering into liquidation. • The accounting policies comprise only those balance sheets items which exist as of 31 December 2022 and other accounting policies which are considered necessary for the creditors to assess the financial position of the entity as of 31 December 2022. • Note disclosures provide only information considered necessary for the creditors to assess the financial position of the entity as of 31 December 2022. 25 Adoption of new and amended IFRSs Based on an assessment of new or amended and revised accounting standards and interpretations (‘IFRSs’) issued by IASB and IFRSs endorsed by the European Union effective on or after 1 January 2022, it has been assessed that the application of these new IFRSs has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in 2022, and management does not anticipate any significant impact on future periods from the adoption of these new IFRSs. Consolidated Financial Statements The Consolidated Financial Statements include Nordic Shipholding A/S (Company) and the enterprises (subsidiaries) which are controlled by the Company. Control is presumed to exist when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. Basis of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounts of Nordic Shipholding A/S and its subsidiaries and joint operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by adding together items of a uniform nature. Foreign currency translation The functional and presentation currency of the Company is USD. On initial recognition, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of each enterprise are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies, which have not been settled at the balance sheet date, are translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Any exchange differences arising between the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction and the rate of exchange at the date of payment and the balance sheet date, respectively, are recognised in the income statement as financial income and expenses. Vessels and docking, inventories and other non-monetary assets purchased in foreign currencies and measured using historical costs are translated using the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are revalued at fair value are translated using the rate of exchange at the date of the revaluation. Upon recognition in the consolidated financial statements of enterprises with functional currencies other than USD, the income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the respective months. Balance sheet items are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from translation of balance sheet items at the beginning of the year at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date and from translation of income statements from average rates of exchange to the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date are recognised as other comprehensive income. Correspondingly, exchange differences arising from changes made directly in the equity of these enterprises are also recognised as other comprehensive income. 26 Statement of comprehensive income Revenue recognition The Group generated its revenue primarily through pool arrangements. Total pool revenue was generated from each vessel participating in the pool. The pool measures revenue based on the contractual rates and the duration of each voyage, and revenue was recognised in the income statement upon delivery of service (percentage of completion). The percentage of completion was determined using the load-to-discharge method based on the percentage of the estimated duration of the voyage completed at the reporting date. According to this method, freight income and related costs are recognised in the income statement according to the entered charter parties from the vessel’s load date to the delivery of the cargo (discharge). The voyage begins on the date when the cargo was loaded, and the voyage ends at the date of the next discharge (load to discharge). For pool arrangements where the vessel enters the pool via a time charterparty, the vessel company recognises its net interests for its vessels in the pool. For pool agreements, which qualify as joint operation, investments in the joint operations were recognised and measured in the Consolidated Financial Statements pro rata with the Group’s ownership interest and presented on a line-by-line basis in the consolidated financial statements. The proportionate share of the results of the entities after elimination of unrealised proportionate intercompany profits and losses was recognised in the income statement. The proportionate share of all transactions and events recognised directly in the other comprehensive income and equity of the joint operations was also recognised as such in Group equity. Voyage expenses These are expenses related to Nordic Shipholding A/S’ vessels managed in a pool. Voyage expenses consist mainly of bunkers, port expenses and commissions. Voyage expenses were recognised as incurred on a load-to-discharge basis. Operating expenses Operating expenses include costs relating to the operation and maintenance of vessels, including costs relating to crew. Operating expenses were recognised as incurred. Staff costs Staff costs comprise directors’ fees, wages and salaries and social security costs and were recognised as incurred. Other external costs Other external costs comprise administrative expenses. Financial income and expenses, net Financial income and expenses include interest income and interest expenses, realised and unrealised exchange differences, and modification gain or loss. Interest income and expenses are accrued on the basis of the principal and the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that is used to discount expected future payments related to the financial asset or the financial liability in order for the present value of such asset or liability to match its carrying amount. When a financial liability measured at amortised cost is modified without resulting in derecognition, a gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. 27 Tax Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the financial year end. No provision is made for taxation on qualifying shipping income derived from the operation of the Group’s vessels held by Singapore-incorporated entities which is exempt from taxation under Section 13A of the Singapore Income Tax Act. The Singapore-incorporated entities are subject to tax on its non-tax exempt income such as interest income at the prevailing corporate tax rate, after adjusting for allowable expenses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilised against future taxable income. Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share Earnings per share is calculated as the profit or loss for the year compared to the weighted average of the issued shares in the financial year. The basis for the calculation of diluted earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares in the financial year. Statement of financial position Receivables Receivables comprise trade and other receivables. The Group applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Loans from majority shareholder Loans from majority shareholder are presented as current liabilities due to the liquidation. The loans are measured at their nominal amount. Trade and other payables Other financial liabilities comprise trade payables and other payables to public authorities, etc. Other financial liabilities are measured at their nominal amount. Cash Flow Statement The Consolidated and Company Cash Flow Statements are presented using the indirect method and show cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as well as cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year. Cash flow from operating activities is stated as the operating profit or loss, adjusted for non-cash operating items and changes in working capital, less financial expenses paid attributable to operating activities. Cash flow from investing activities includes payments in connection with the acquisition and divestment of enterprises and financial assets and the acquisition, development, improvement and sale, etc. of vessels and docking. Cash flow from acquisition and divestment of enterprises is shown separately under cash flow from investing activities. Cash flow from acquired enterprises is recognised in the cash flow statement from the time of their acquisition, and cash flow from divested enterprises is recognised up to the time of sale. 28 Cash flow from financing activities comprises changes in the Company’s share capital and related costs as well as raising and repayment of loans, instalments on interest bearing debt, acquisition of treasury shares and payment of dividend. Cash flows in other currencies than the functional currency are recognised in the cash flow statement using average exchange rates for the respective months, unless these deviate materially from the actual exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. If so, the actual exchange rates are used. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cash held by the master of the respective vessels. Supplementary accounting policies for the Company Investments in subsidiaries in the financial statements of the Company Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost. If the cost price exceeds the recoverable amount of the investment, it is written down to this lower amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the fair value of the subsidiary less costs of sale and the value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, the risks specific to the enterprise in question for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised in the income statement. The conversion of intercompany debt owed by its subsidiaries is measured at carrying amount. 2. Staff costs ^ The average number excludes the CEO of the Company. Nordic Shipholding A/S entered into a corporate management agreement with Transport Capital Pte. Ltd. (‘Transport Capital’) for the day to day management and operation of the Company and the Group. As part of the corporate management agreement, Transport Capital provided a CEO for the Company. The CEO’s remuneration for his role in Nordic Shipholding A/S was estimated to be USD 0.2 million (2021: USD 0.3 million) and was compensated from the fee under the corporate management agreement. Refer to Note 16 for related party transactions for the fees paid to Transport Capital Pte. Ltd., the corporate manager for the Group, during the financial year.

Write-down on investments, net 5. Financial income As the Company is in solvent liquidation and does not have the ability to repay the payables to its subsidiaries, the Company made a reduction for the amount payable to subsidiaries in 2022. In 2022 and 2021, there was a reduction of certain loan interest following the application of proceeds from sale of the vessels (2022: Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy; 2021: Nordic Hanne and Nordic Pia) towards prepayment of the underlying bank loans. 6.

Financial risks and financial instruments Foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risks and application of financial instruments Currency risks The Group and the Company were mildly sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations as earnings and costs are primarily denominated in USD. No financial hedges have been made for the DKK, EUR and SGD exposure in 2022 and 2021. The Group's policy is to review the currency exposure and hedge the risk if this is significant. The sensitivity towards changes in exchange rates is approximately USD 0 million for each percentage change in USD towards DKK, EUR and SGD combined (2021: USD 0 million). Date of revaluation/maturity – Group and Company The Group’s and Company’s fixed-rate interest-bearing loans from the majority shareholder do not expose them to interest rate risks. The Group’s and Company’s floating-rate interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities expose them to interest rate risks. In respect of the Group’s and Company’s financial assets and liabilities, the following contractual dates of reassessment and maturity, whichever is earlier, are listed below. ^ excludes interest Amounts in USD thousand 2022 2021 2022 2021 Pre-payments and deposits 16 39 16 195 Other receivables 7 5 188 754 Total other receivables 23 44 204 949 Company Group Amounts in USD thousand 2022 2021 2022 2021 Trade receivables - - 219 3,564 Other receivables 23 44 204 949 Cash and cash equivalents 43 82 4,489 2,540 Financial assets measured at amortised cost 66 126 4,912 7,053 Finance loans - - - 42,466 Loans from majority shareholder 8,284 7,645 16,093 12,795 Trade payables 180 147 295 3,023 Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost 8,464 7,792 16,388 58,284 Company Group Amounts in USD thousand 31.12.2022 Within 1 year Between 1- 5 years After 5 years Total Cash and cash equivalents 43 - - 43 Loans from majority shareholder, fixed rate^ (8,284) - - (8,284) Total (8,241) - - (8,241) 31.12.2021 Cash and cash equivalents 82 - - 82 Loans from majority shareholder, fixed rate^ (7,645) - - (7,645) Total (7,563) - - (7,563) Company 33 # excludes interest and finance charge on banker’s guarantee ^^ excludes interest Liquidity Risks The Group monitors its cash flow situation carefully to ensure it has adequate liquidity for its estimated liquidation expenses and settlement of all creditors other than the main shareholder loan. Prior to the full repayment of its bank loans in April 2022, the Group needed to comply with minimum liquidity levels. Hence, the Group needed to monitor its liquidity carefully to ensure that it had sufficient liquidity to repay its scheduled interest payments and meet expected operational expenses. The Group's and Company's cash resources consist of cash, which was placed with a leading Nordic bank with good creditworthiness. The bank loans were fully repaid in April 2022 via net proceeds from the sale of Nordic Anne, Nordic Agnetha and Nordic Amy, internal cash and utilisation of USD 2.3 million under the banker’s guarantee issued by the majority shareholder of the Company to the lenders. Credit risks It was the Group's policy to cooperate with recognised pool partners and only grant credit to oil majors and other first class customers in order to minimise credit risks. As such, the Group’s credit risk relates to receivables from these first class customers and oil majors from pool arrangements contracted with recognised business partners in the product tanker segment. The credit risk is deemed to be minimal and consequently, receivables are not hedged. The Group’s maximum credit risk associated with receivables corresponds to their carrying amounts.

Loans from majority shareholder Any excess funds after payment of all liquidation expenses and settlement of all creditors will be used to repay the shareholder loan whereafter it has been agreed with the majority shareholder to waive the remaining debt at that point in time. Hence, the fair value of the loans from majority shareholder is expected to be equal to the residual cash balance after the liquidation, i.e. leaving no proceeds to the shareholders. 14. Trade payables The carrying amount corresponds to the fair value of the liabilities. 15. Provision for negative equity in subsidiaries The Company made an additional provision for negative equity in certain subsidiaries in 2022 as the accumulated losses incurred by these subsidiaries exceeded the carrying value of the investment in subsidiaries as at 31 December 2022 and the provision is recognised to ensure that all obligations are met.
