* C.K. Limited is the trustee of two trusts (the “Trusts”) settled by Mr. John Fredriksen. The Trusts indirectly hold all of
the shares of Hemen Holding Limited and Greenwich Holdings Limited, the sole shareholder of Hemen Holding Limited. Accordingly, C.K. Limited, as trustee, may be deemed to beneficially own the 79,321,042 Ordinary Shares of the Company that are owned
by Hemen Holding Limited and beneficially owned by Greenwich Holdings Limited. The beneficiaries of the Trusts are members of Mr. Fredriksen’s family. Mr. Fredriksen is neither a beneficiary nor a trustee of either Trust. Therefore, Mr. Fredriksen
has no economic interest in such 79,321,042 Ordinary Shares and Mr. Fredriksen disclaims any control over such 79,321,042 Ordinary Shares, save for any indirect influence he may have with C.K. Limited, as the trustee of the Trusts, in his capacity as
the settlor of the Trusts.

Except as described above, no Ordinary Shares are beneficially owned by the persons named in Item 2.
(c) The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 3 is incorporated herein by reference.

(e) Not applicable.
| Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
|
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On March 7, 2022, Hemen Holding entered into a cash-settled total return swap agreement (the “Total
Return Swap”) with economic exposure to 3,000,000 notional Ordinary Shares at a price of NOK 89.7998 per share. The expiration date of the Total Return Swap is June 9, 2022. The Total Return Swap provides Hemen Holding with economic results
that are comparable to ownership but does not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Total Return Swap.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, be party to, enter
into or unwind certain cash settled equity derivatives or similar contractual arrangements which provide indirect economic exposure to, but do not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive power over, securities
of the Issuer and which may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and/or return on such contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the securities of the Issuer, the relative value of securities of the Issuer in
comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which the securities of the Issuer may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim
any beneficial ownership in the securities that may be referenced in such contracts.
