The tender offer by Compagnie Maritime Belge NV, a naamloze vennootschap (limited liability company) incorporated in Belgium (“CMB” or the “Offeror”), one of the Reporting Persons referred to in this Schedule 13D, has not yet commenced. This Schedule 13D is for informational purposes only, and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any Ordinary Shares of the Issuer or any other securities, nor is it a substitute for the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other necessary filings that the Offeror will file with the Commission, and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 and other necessary filings that the Issuer will file with the Commission, in the event that the tender offer is commenced. Any solicitation and offer to buy Ordinary Shares will only be made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related tender offer materials. At the time the tender offer is commenced, the Offeror will file with the Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other necessary filings, and in connection therewith the Issuer will file with the Commission a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 and other necessary filings. Any such Tender Offer Statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and certain other offer documents) and any such Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14d-9 will contain important information. U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares are urged to read these documents carefully if and when they become available because they will contain important information that U.S. holders of Ordinary Shares should consider before making any decision with respect to the tender offer. If a tender offer is commenced, the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and the solicitation/recommendation statement and other filings related to the offer will be made available for free at the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares also may obtain free copies of the Tender Offer Statement and other offer documents that the Offeror will file with the Commission by contacting the information agent for the tender offer that will be named in the Tender Offer Statement, and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement. The proposed Tender Offer will not be commenced if the Share Sale (as defined herein) is not consummated.

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Compagnie Maritime Belge NV, a naamloze vennootschap (limited liability company) incorporated in Belgium (“CMB”), Saverco NV, a naamloze vennootschap (limited liability company) incorporated in Belgium (“Saverco”), Alexander Saverys, Ludovic Saverys and Michael Saverys.

The above companies and individuals are referred to in this Schedule 13D as the “Reporting Persons.” The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D jointly. A Joint Filing Agreement between the Reporting Persons is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each executive officer and director of Saverco is set forth below. If no business address is given, the executive officer’s or director’s address is De Gerlachekaai 20, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium.

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Sale Shares (as defined in Item 4 below) by virtue of the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement by CMB and the Sellers (as defined in Item 4 below). Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by either Reporting Person that it is the beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or for any other purpose, of any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Sellers, and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of such Sale Shares.

The aggregate purchase price for the Sale Shares is US$1,059,351,682 in cash. The maximum amount of funds required by CMB to consummate the Offer described in Item 4 below is approximately US$1,740,000,000. CMB intends to finance the purchase of the Sale Shares and the Offer through the proceeds of syndicated bridge facilities with an aggregate principal amount of up to US$3,200,000,000 (the “Bridge Financing”). On October 4, 2023, CMB entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) for the Bridge Financing with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, KBC Bank NV, and Société Générale (collectively, the “Bookrunning Mandated Lead Arrangers”), Belfius Bank NV/SA, DNB (UK) Limited, ING Belgium SA/NV and Nordea Bank Abp filial i Norge (collectively, the “Mandated Lead Arrangers”) and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) (the “Lead Arranger” and together with the Bookrunning Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the “Arrangers”), subject to certain conditions which will be made pursuant to a facilities agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) to be entered into among, inter alia, CMB and the Lead Arrangers. The Commitment Letter provides for a US$1,110,000,000 bridge loan facility to fund the purchase of the Sale Shares and the financing of the transaction costs (the “SPA Acquisition Bridge Facility”), a US$1,740,000,000 bridge loan facility to fund the Offer (the “Bid Acquisition Bridge Facility”) and a US$350,000,000 bridge loan facility (the “Margin Loan Bridge Facility”) to be used to refinance the outstanding amounts under existing margin loan facilities (the “Existing Margin Loans”). The Commitment Letter provides that borrowings under the Facilities Agreement will be secured by a pledge of all shares of the Issuer held by CMB (or to be acquired pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement and the Offer), including the Ordinary Shares which are currently pledged in favor of the lenders in respect of the Existing Margin Loans and all shares owned by CMB in CMB.TECH NV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMB. The Bridge Financing is subject to the execution of definitive documentation, including the Facilities Agreement.

(a)-(d)

On October 5, 2023, the Issuer announced by press release that Frontline plc (“Frontline”) and CMB were in discussions on an integrated solution to the strategic and structural deadlock in the Issuer.

On October 9, 2023, CMB issued a press release (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J and incorporated herein by reference) announcing that it has reached an agreement with Frontline and Famatown Finance Limited (“Famatown”, and together with Frontline, the “Sellers”) that entails (i) CMB’s acquisition of all Ordinary Shares held by the Sellers, in parallel with (ii) the sale of 24 vessels by the Issuer to Frontline or an affiliate thereof (the “Vessel Sale”), which is subject to completion of the purchase of the shares. In light of the transactions, the arbitration proceedings between the Issuer and Frontline in respect of the Combination Agreement entered into between them on July 10, 2022 will be terminated.

CMB entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated October 9, 2023 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with the Sellers pursuant to which the Sellers have agreed to sell to CMB and CMB has agreed to purchase from the Sellers an aggregate of 57,479,744 Ordinary Shares, representing 28.47% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer (excluding treasury shares). The Share Sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement. The summary of the Share Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit L and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Share Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about CMB, the Issuer, the Sellers or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Share Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Share Purchase Agreement as of the specific dates therein, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in CMB’s or the Sellers’ public disclosures.

Purchase and Sale

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement, Frontline has agreed to sell 13,664,613 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the “Frontline Shares”) and Famatown has agreed to sell 43,815,131 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the “Famatown Shares” and together with the Frontline Shares, the “Sale Shares”) to CMB at a price of US$18.43 per share (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of US$1,059,351,682 in cash. The closing of the purchase of the Sale Shares will occur at the latest on the fifth business day after the date on which each of the Conditions Precedent (as defined below) are satisfied or waived (the “Closing”).

Any of the Conditions Precedent may only be waived (in whole or in part) by written agreement between CMB and the Sellers (acting jointly). Each of CMB (individually) and the Sellers (acting jointly) may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement if any of the Conditions Precedent is not fulfilled or no longer capable of being fulfilled or waived by the Long Stop Date.

Voting Agreement

Each of the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement have agreed to (and to cause their respective affiliates to) attend and vote all Ordinary Shares held by it in favor of any resolution presented to the Euronav shareholders’ meeting (the “SGM”) to approve the conditionality of the Vessel Sale on the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Sale Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Sale”).

From the date of the Share Purchase Agreement until the Closing, the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement have agreed to vote their Ordinary Shares against, and to cause their representatives on the Issuer’s Supervisory Board to vote against, any resolution presented to the Issuer’s shareholders meeting or the Issuer’s Supervisory Board (i) to propose, declare, make or pay any dividend or any other distribution of profits, reserves or issue premium or (ii) to propose, authorize or approve any share buyback or disposal of treasury shares (other than to comply with the Issuer’s obligations under its existing long term incentive plans).

Standstill

Other than CMB in connection with the Offer, the parties have agreed, from the date of the Share Purchase Agreement until the Closing, not to, and to cause their affiliates not to, directly or indirectly and whether alone or acting in concert with any other person, and other than as provided in the Share Purchase Agreement:

Termination of the Share Purchase Agreement

The Share Purchase Agreement may be terminated:

Changes to the Supervisory Board

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that upon the Closing of the Share Sale, the Famatown Representatives will tender their resignations from the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board may fill the vacancies created by the resignations of the Famatown Representatives and such newly appointed directors would serve until the next general meeting of shareholders in accordance with Article 16 of the Issuer’s Coordinated Articles of Association.

Indemnification

Each of the Sellers and CMB have agreed to indemnify each other, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any loss incurred by CMB or the Sellers, as the case may be, which would not have been incurred by it if all facts stated in their respective representations made in the Share Purchase Agreement had been true, accurate and not misleading.

Expenses

Each party to the Share Purchase Agreement will bear all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, execution, and performance of the Share Purchase Agreement.

Governing Law

The Share Purchase Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium.

The Offer

On October 9, 20 23, CMB, or the Offeror, announced by press release (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit K and incorporated by reference herein) that, following the Closing of the Share Sale, it will commence an unconditional mandatory public takeover bid (the “Offer”) for all the issued Ordinary Shares (the “Target Shares”) of the Issuer that the Reporting Persons do not already own in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 1 April 2007 on takeover bids (the “Takeover Act”) and Chapter III of the Royal Decree of 27 April 2007 on takeover bids (the “Takeover RD”) and Regulations 14D and 14E under the Exchange Act, and subject to any relevant exemptive and no-action relief as may be granted by the Commission and any derogations as may be granted by the Financial Services and Markets Authority of Belgium (the “FSMA”). The Offer will be an offer in cash at a price of US$18.43 per Ordinary Share, reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the gross amount per share of any future dividends and other distributions by the Issuer to its shareholders with an ex-dividend date prior to the settlement date of the Offer (the “Offer Price”).

The Offer will be made concurrently in the United States and Belgium. In accordance with the Takeover RD, the Offeror has the right to proceed with a simplified squeeze-out if the Offeror and persons acting in concert with it hold, following the Offer, at least 95% of the shares of the Issuer, in order to acquire the Ordinary Shares not yet acquired by the Offeror, under the same terms and conditions as the Offer. The Offeror does not have any intention to launch a squeeze-out offer following the consummation of the Offer.

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that, in connection with the Offer:

Proposed Changes to the Issuer’s Strategy and Business

CMB has provided a clear strategy for Euronav which is based on three axes:

CMB wants to diversify the fleet of Euronav into different shipping segments to decrease the dependence on the transportation of crude oil. This does not mean exiting the tanker business altogether, but a gradual decrease of the share of revenues coming from pure crude oil transportation by adding different shipping asset types to the Euronav portfolio.

This diversification could be realized through:

Future-proof, in CMB’s view, means efficient low-carbon emitting ships and/or ships powered by hydrogen and/or ships powered by ammonia.

CMB believes a key trend in shipping is offering low-emission ships to its customers. It will be crucially important to dedicate important amounts of capital from the industry and shipping companies to the development of low-carbon engines, fuel supply systems and the production of low-carbon fuels. CMB wants Euronav to play a leading role in the decarbonization of the shipping industry and be the reference shipowner when it comes to green ships.

Euronav’s fleet standards have always been excellent. By divesting less efficient/older tankers and re-investing the proceeds in newbuildings/modern second hand tonnage or vessel upgrades (e.g. energy saving devices), CMB wants to optimize Euronav’s large remaining fleet of tankers in order to offer the best fleet to its customers.

Subject to completion of the transaction, CMB is investigating options for Euronav to invest part of the proceeds of the Vessel Sale to accelerate this strategy.

Listing of Ordinary Shares

Even if the Offeror has the right to do so under Belgian law, the Offeror does not intend to launch a squeeze-out offer following the consummation of the Offer and accordingly does not intend to delist the Ordinary Shares from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or Euronext Brussels following the closing of the Offer, however, there can be no assurance that the Offer will not result in a delisting or the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.

Vessel Sale by the Issuer to Frontline

On October 9, 2023, the Issuer announced that Frontline and the Issuer have separately entered into agreements for the Vessel Sale, for an aggregate purchase price of US$2,350,000,000. CMB is not a party to the Vessel Sale. The closing of the Vessel Sale is conditioned upon the closing of the Share Sale, and is also subject to merger control approvals and approval by the Issuer’s shareholders’ meeting of the conditionality of the Vessel Sale and the Termination of the Arbitration (as defined below) on the completion of the Share Sale in accordance with Article 7:151 of the BCCA.

Termination of Issuer Arbitration

On October 9, 2023, the Issuer announced that, in light of the transaction, the Issuer, Frontline, Famatown, Hemen Holding Limited and Geveran Trading Co. Limited have agreed to terminate the arbitration proceedings in respect of the combination agreement entered into between them on July 10, 2022, subject to completion of the Share Sale (the “Termination of the Arbitration”).

(e) Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any other plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer.

(f) Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any other plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure.

(g) Other than as described in this Item 4, there are no changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person.

(h) Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not expect that the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the NYSE or Euronext Brussels as a result of the Offer.

(i) Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not expect that the Ordinary Shares will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.

(j) Other than as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any other plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
