Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Hafnia Limited (“Hafnia” or the “Company”, OSE ticker code: “HAFNI”, NYSE ticker code: “HAFN”) on 19 August 2024 regarding the notice of a court sanctioned meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Scheme Meeting”) for eligible shareholders to vote on the scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") between the Company and its shareholders pursuant to Section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 as amended in order to effect a discontinuance of the Company from Bermuda and continuance to Singapore and adopt the constitution of the Company which will take effect upon continuance in Singapore (the "Redomiciliation").
The Scheme Meeting was held on 11 September 2024, with the Scheme being approved by the Company’s shareholders at the meeting.

If the Scheme is sanctioned by the Court, then the Scheme will become binding on the Company and its shareholders once a copy of the court order is filed with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.
Shareholders of the Company are entitled to appear at the Sanction Hearing. Shareholders who wish to appear in court are encouraged to adopt one of the procedures noted on page 16 of the Explanatory Statement of the Company in relation to the Scheme dated and published on BusinessWire and Newsweb 19 August 2024.
The Company expects that the Redomiciliation will come into effect on or around 1 October 2024, subject to the sanction by the Court, the filing of the court order, the final approval by the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority and the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Scheme as set out in the Scheme.
