Forward-Looking Statements: Certain statements made in this announcement may include 'forward-looking statements'. These statements may be identified by the use of words like 'anticipate', 'believe', 'could', 'estimate', 'expect', 'forecast', 'intend', 'may', 'might', 'plan', 'predict', 'project', 'scheduled', 'seek', 'should', 'will', and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements reflect our current views and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The principal risks and uncertainties which could impact the Group and the factors which could affect the actual results are described but not limited to those in the 'Risk Management' section in the Group's Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 2014. The Executive Management Team has considered the nature of these principal risks and uncertainties and concluded that these have not changed significantly in the year ended 31 December 2014. These factors, and others which are discussed in our public announcements, are among those that may cause actual and future results and trends to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: actions by regulatory authorities or other third parties; our ability to recover costs on significant projects; the general economic conditions and competition in the markets and businesses in which we operate; our relationship with significant clients; the outcome of legal and administrative proceedings or governmental enquiries; uncertainties inherent in operating internationally; the timely delivery of vessels on order and the timely completion of vessel conversion programmes; the impact of laws and regulations; and operating hazards, including spills and environmental damage. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results. Given these factors, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.

Toute Action Ordinaire autorisée non émise expirera après une période de trois (3) ans après la publication dans le Mémorial C, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations de l'acte de l'assemblée générale des actionnaires tenue le 17 avril 2015.

Le capital social souscrit de la Société est fixé à six cent soixante-quatre millions trois cent trente-quatre mille cent trentequatre Dollars des États-Unis d'Amérique (664.334.134 US \$) représenté par trois cent trente-deux millions cent soixante-sept mille soixante-sept (332.167.067) Actions Ordinaires d'une valeur nominale de deux Dollars des États-Unis d'Amérique (2.-\$US) chacune, toutes entièrement libérées.

Le Conseil d'Administration ou son/ses délégué(s) dûment mandaté(s) par le Conseil pourra (pourront) émettre, de temps en temps, des actions (ou tous autre titres ou instruments donnant droit à des Actions Ordinaires) contre des apports en nature ou en numéraire ou par voie d'incorporation de la prime disponible ou des réserves ou à la place de dividendes ou autrement, dans les limites du capital autorisé non-émis aux dates et sous les termes et conditions, en ce compris le prix d'émission, discrétionnairement fixés par le Conseil ou son (ses) délégué(s). Les détenteurs d'Actions Ordinaires auront un droit préférentiel de souscription relatif à toute émission future d'Actions Ordinaires au comptant. Sans préjudice des décisions du Conseil d'Administration adoptées en vertu d'une précédente autorisation, le Conseil d'Administration pourra, dans la limite du capital social non-émis pour un montant maximal de trente-trois millions deux cent seize mille sept cent six (33.216.706) Actions Ordinaires, supprimer, limiter ou renoncer au droit préférentiel de souscription des actionnaires dans la mesure où il le jugera opportun, en particulier en vue de:

a) l'émission d'Actions Ordinaires au comptant, soit dans une émission privée, soit dans une offre publique au prix déterminé par le Conseil d'Administration de la Société (y compris à un prix inférieur à la valeur de marché si le Conseil d'Administration de la Société estime que ceci est dans le meilleur intérêt de la Société) afin d'élargir ou de diversifier l'actionnariat par l'entrée de nouveaux investisseurs, et

b) l'émission ou l'offre d'émettre des Actions Ordinaires en relation avec des participations, des financements, des projets d'association ou d'autres propositions stratégiques, stratégies ou projets et/ou pour obtenir un financement si le Conseil d'Administration de la Société estime que c'est dans le meilleur intérêt de la Société (y compris à un prix inférieur à la valeur de marché si le Conseil d'Administration de la Société estime que ceci est dans le meilleur intérêt de la Société), à condition qu'il n'y ait pas d'émission d'Actions Ordinaires conformément aux sous-sections (a) ou (b) ci-dessus, à un prix inférieur à soixante-quinze pour cent (75%) de la valeur de marché, déterminée en fonction de la valeur du prix de clôture pour des Actions Ordinaires à la Bourse d'Oslo pour les dix jours de bourse les plus récents précédant une telle émission, et sous condition que toutes les Actions Ordinaires seront émises par ailleurs suivant les termes et conditions décrits dans le rapport par le Conseil d'Administration à l'assemblée générale tel que prévu par la loi, y compris le cas où le prix d'émission est inférieur à «la valeur nominale» d'une Action Ordinaire (2,00 US\$), le Conseil d'Administration sera autorisé à procéder à une telle émission et de transférer à partir du compte de «primes d'émission» («réserves disponibles») au compte «valeur nominale» de la Société la différence entre la valeur nominale et le prix d'émission d'une telle action, pareille démarche à entreprendre étant valable pour une période de trois (3) ans à partir de la date de publication du procès-verbal de l'Assemblée Générale Extraordinaire du 17 avril 2015.

Chaque fois que le Conseil d'Administration ou son/ses délégué(s) aura (auront) émis des Actions Ordinaires autorisées et en aura (auront) accepté le paiement, le présent Article sera modifié aux fins de refléter le résultat d'une telle émission et la modification sera documentée par acte notarié à la demande du Conseil d'Administration ou de son/ses délégué(s)."
