BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

 

Mr. Andreas Sohmen-Pao

Chairman of the Board

15 April 2025

 

 


 

EXPLANATORY NOTES:

 

1. In accordance with Section 201 of the Act, the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the “2024 FS”) is required to be laid before the Company at the meeting.

 

The 2024 FS is included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F and can be accessed at the Company’s website at www.bwlpg.com/investors/reports-presentations/. The 2024 FS has been provided to the Shareholders via the internet address as described above.

 

The latest Guidelines on Executive Remuneration are available on the Company’s website at www.bwlpg.com/about/our-leaders/ - under Remuneration Committee. Shareholders who wish to receive printed copies of either, or both, the 2024 FS and the latest Guidelines on Executive Remuneration, may submit a written request via electronic mail to investor.relations@bwlpg.com with the Shareholder’s full name and mailing address clearly indicated.

 

The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these requirements, the Company files reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The SEC maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC.

 

2. Mr. Andrew Evan Wolff has informed the Company that he wishes to step down as a Director and that he will not be seeking re-election at the meeting. The Nomination Committee of the Company has reviewed the board composition having regard to expertise, capacity and diversity, and determined that the Board is functioning well. The Nomination Committee has also reviewed the relationships between the Company and each Director, and determined that a majority of the Directors are independent pursuant to the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance and corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee recommends that the remaining Directors are re-elected for the ensuing year as set out in this Notice, each to hold office until the next annual general meeting or until his or her successor is appointed. Please refer to Appendix A of this Notice for details of the recommendation of the Nomination Committee.

 

A description of the competencies and executive functions of the Directors to be re-elected can be accessed at the Company’s website at www.bwlpg.com/about/our-leaders/. Shareholders who wish to receive printed copies may submit a written request via electronic mail to investor.relations@bwlpg.com with the Shareholder’s full name and mailing address clearly indicated.

 

3. In accordance with Regulation 45 of the Constitution of the Company, the Chairman of the Board shall be appointed by the Shareholders from amongst the Directors. It is proposed that Mr. Andreas Sohmen-Pao be re-appointed as Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year.

 

4. Ms. Sophie Smith has informed the Nomination Committee that she wishes to step down as a Member and Chair of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee, after considering candidates, recommends that Ms. Alicia Yik be appointed as a Member of the Nomination Committee replacing Ms. Smith. The Nomination Committee further recommends that Ms. Elaine Yew, who has been a Member of the Nomination Committee since 2020, be appointed as the new Chair replacing Ms. Smith. Please refer to Appendix A of this Notice for details of the recommendation of the Nomination Committee.

 

 


 

5. Regulation 40 of the Constitution of the Company provides that the Directors’ fees shall be determined by the Shareholders in a general meeting. The Nomination Committee of the Company has assessed the Directors’ fees and recommends that the Directors are paid the fees in respect of the services rendered by them for the period from the date of the passing of this Resolution to the next annual general meeting as set out in this Notice. The Nomination Committee further recommends that the Nomination Committee members are paid for their services for the same period as set out in this Notice. Please refer to Appendix A of this Notice for details of the recommendation of the Nomination Committee.

 

6. The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external Auditor. In this connection, the Audit Committee has recommended that KPMG LLP are re-appointed as the Auditor of the Company. Consistent with the Constitution of the Company, it is proposed that the Board of Directors is authorised to determine the remuneration of KPMG LLP.

 

7. The Directors propose that the meeting approves the Share Buy-Back Mandate so that the Company may continue with its previously announced share repurchase programme on the terms and subject to the conditions as set out in this Resolution.

 

The Act permits the Company to purchase or acquire its Ordinary Shares out of capital or distributable profits so long as the Company is solvent. The Company will use internal sources of funds, or a combination of internal resources and external borrowings, to finance purchases of its Ordinary Shares. The Board of Directors does not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate if such exercise would result in insufficient liquidity for the Company or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”). The Board of Directors will also not undertake Ordinary Share purchases if the borrowings required to finance the Ordinary Share purchases will result in insufficient liquidity for the Company or the Group. It is not possible for the Company to realistically calculate or quantify the impact of purchases that may be made pursuant to the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate on the Company's financial position as the effect would depend on a number of factors such as the aggregate numbers of Ordinary Shares purchased, the purchase prices paid at the relevant times, whether the Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired are held in treasury or immediately cancelled on purchase or acquisition, how the Ordinary Shares held in treasury are subsequently dealt with by the Company in accordance with Section 76K of the Act, and the amounts (if any) borrowed by the Company to fund the purchases. The Directors consider the proposed Share Buy-Back Mandate to be in the interests of the Company and they recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposal as set out in this Notice.

 

8. The Directors propose that the Shareholders approve the Share Issue Mandate in order for the Company to secure an optimal capital structure at all times and to capitalise on potential growth opportunities, for example, but not limited to, acquisitions, mergers and similar transactions, as well as to carry out equity capital transactions. The Directors consider the proposed authorisation to issue shares to be in the interests of the Company and they recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposal as set out in this Notice.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

 

1. Only Shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company on the record date for the meeting, being 10 April 2025 shall be entitled to receive this Notice, attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of Shares registered in their names at that time.

 

Every Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in his stead on a show of hands or on a poll. A form of proxy is enclosed for this purpose. A proxy does not need to be a Shareholder of the Company. A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting or any adjournment thereof may appoint more than one proxy, provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different Share or Shares held by such Shareholder.

 

 


 

 

If properly executed, the Shares issued in the capital of the Company represented by the proxy will be voted in the manner directed by the Shareholder on the form of proxy. The proxy holder shall also have discretion to vote the Shares for or against any amendments to resolutions duly made at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If no direction is given, the Shares will be voted in favour of the resolutions as recommended by the Board of Directors (including amendments thereto approved by the Board of Directors) when duly presented at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. The proxy holder shall have discretion to vote the Shares on any other matters in furtherance of or incidental to the foregoing or as may otherwise properly come before the meeting or adjournment thereof. Shareholders that have granted a proxy may not vote their Shares at the meeting unless such proxy is revoked.

 

The form of proxy is enclosed.

 

2. The manner in which your Shares may be voted depends on how your Shares are held.

 

(a) If you are a holder of Shares which are registered in Euronext Securities Oslo and trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange, you must return the proxy form to DNB Bank ASA, Registrars Department. To be valid, the form of proxy is to be received by DNB Bank ASA, Registrars Department, at its address at Dronning Eufemias gate 30, 0191 Oslo, no later than 12 May 2025 at 3:00 p.m. (Oslo time) or by e-mail at vote@dnb.no no later than the aforementioned date and time.

 

(b) If you own Shares of record, meaning that your Shares are represented by book entries in your name so that you appear as a Shareholder on the shareholder register of the Company maintained by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“Equiniti”) (i.e., you are a registered shareholder), you must submit your proxy to Equiniti by mail (Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, 55 Challenger Rd, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660, USA) in the return envelope provided by Equiniti by no later than 12 May 2025 at 9:00 a.m. (New York time) (proxies received after such time will not be considered).

 

You also may attend the meeting in person and vote during the meeting. Shareholders of record attending the meeting in person will be given a ballot upon request.

 

(c) If you own Shares in “street name”, meaning that your Shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee that is a DTC participant, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of Shares held in “street name,” and you must provide voting instructions through your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee by returning a voting instruction form received from that institution in accordance with the relevant instructions provided by such institution.

 

If you own Shares in street name and wish to attend the meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee that holds your Shares in order to vote your Shares at the meeting and present your voting information card. Duly appointed proxyholders attending the meeting in person will be given a ballot upon request.

 


 

GO GREEN

 

In an effort to consciously reduce paper waste and contribute towards a greener environment, the Company strongly encourages its Shareholders to opt for a fully paperless form of communication including notice of meetings, proxy voting forms or voting instruction forms. In order to do so, registered Shareholders may contact the Company’s registrars, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC or DNB Bank ASA (as applicable) and/or follow the instructions provided by the registrars with the proxy voting forms and non-registered Shareholders may contact their applicable securities broker holding their Shares.

 

PERSONAL DATA PRIVACY

 

By submitting an instrument appointing a proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and/or any adjournment thereof, a Shareholder of the Company (i) consents to the collection, use and disclosure of the Shareholder’s personal data by the Company (or its agents or service providers) for the purpose of the processing, administration and analysis by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of proxies and representatives appointed for the meeting (including any adjournment thereof) and the preparation and compilation of the attendance lists, minutes and other documents relating to the meeting (including any adjournment thereof), and in order for the Company (or its agents or service providers) to comply with any applicable laws, listing rules, take-over rules, regulations and/or guidelines (collectively, the “Purposes”), (ii) warrants that where the Shareholder discloses the personal data of the Shareholder’s proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) to the Company (or its agents or service providers), the Shareholder has obtained the prior consent of such proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) for the collection, use and disclosure by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of the personal data of such proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) for the Purposes, and (iii) agrees that the Shareholder will indemnify the Company in respect of any penalties, liabilities, claims, demands, losses and damages as a result of the Shareholder’s breach of warranty.
