Summary of risk factors

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

  • Investing in the Bonds involves inherent risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risk factors set out below before making an investment
  • decision. This section gives a summary of some of the relevant risks that the Issuer and a prospective investor is facing and is not intended to be exhaustive. The Issuer may be

subject to unexpected risk, incidents and occurrences which is currently unknown. Please refer to the Risk factors section in this Investor Presentation and to chapter 3 of the Offering Memorandum before making an investment decision. General

  • Certain information in this Investor Presentation and in the Offering Memorandum is derived from third parties and may be based on projections of future performance that

may not prove accurate, and certain information is based on estimates by the Issuer Risks related to the market in which the Issuer operates.

  • The Issuer operates in a highly competitive international market for large crude oil tankers (Suezmaxes). Fluctuations may affect the Issuer's utilization of its Vessels, the

Issuer's earnings, and the success of the Pool which directly affects the Issuer's profitability. Negative developments in the crude oil tanker industry could have an adverse impact on the financial condition of the Issuer. The cyclical and seasonal fluctuated nature of the industry may adversely affects the value of the Security Vessels

  • The Issuer is subject to substantial operational and maintenance costs for the Security Vessels, which may at times be unpredictable. Fuel prices are historically high and

further increases will affect the Issuer's profits. The Issuer is exposed to risk associated with hidden defects and second hand vessels which may affect the value of the Security Vessels and their ability to trade. The issuer is also exposed to risks such as fires, explosions, collisions, oil spill and other operating risk for ocean going vessels.

  • The Issuer is exposed to risks associated with the employment of the Security Vessels in pool arrangements, including the risk of poor performance by other vessels in the pool

which in turn may have an adverse effect on the earnings ultimately payable to the respective Vessel Owner and also risk associated with competition law regulations and restrictions regarding pool cooperation. Investors should note that the Security Vessels may be removed from the Pool (voluntary or involuntary) and this may also adversely affect the Issuer's business.

  • The Issuer utilizes third party managers to provide technical management services for the Security Vessels, and the Issuer's business will be harmed if Ridgebury Management

is unable to adequately supervise the third party managers' performance. If the Issuer fails to to attract and retain key personnel, such failure may also adversely affect the

  • verall condition of the Issuer. Note also that the financial condition and operational state of the Issuer may be affected by the business of the Parent's subsidiary Ridgebury

Tankers

  • International marine operations expose ship-owners to different forms of challenges, including i.e. evolving regulatory law and exchange rate fluctuations. Piracy, hostilities,

war and other crisis may adversely affect the condition of the Issuer's business. The Issuer's insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to Security Vessels, result from their operations or result from any of the risk as set out herein. Risks related to the Issuers financial situation and liquidity

  • Increase in operating costs, changes in tax policies and other changes could adversely affect the Issuer's cash flows and financial condition. The Issuer's revenues could be

insufficient to cover the Issuer's operating costs and debt service.

SLIDE 4

Summary of risk factors (cont’d)

4

  • The Issuer's ability to obtain additional equity or bank financing could be adversely affected by inter alia the performance and future value of the Security Vessels and the

Issuer's pool participation. The Issuer may be unable to redeem the Bonds on the Final Maturity Date and no assurance can be given that it will be able to obtain necessary

  • refinancing. The ability of the Parent and MidCo to pay any claim under the Parent Guarantee or the MidCo Guarantee as applicable is uncertain and subject to inter alia the
  • ther operations in the Parent Group

Risks related to the Bonds

  • Legal investment law and regulations may restrict investments in the Bonds. There is a risk that the Issuer is not able to obtain all of the Conditions Precedent in time, which

may lead to a mandatory prepayment of the Bond Issue. The price of the Bonds is subject to risks of interest rate and currency fluctuation. The trading price of the Bonds may be substantially volatile and the Bondholders may be subject to restrictions on the transfer of the Bonds. There may be no public market for the Bonds.

  • The Issuer will have substantial indebtedness which could have negative consequences for the bondholders and the Issuer’s ability to service its indebtedness depends on

many factors beyond its control. The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement will impose significant operating and financial restrictions, on the Issuer

  • The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement will allow for modification of the Bonds or security, waivers or authorizations of breaches and substitution of the Issuer

which, may be effectuated without the consent of Bondholders. The Bonds may be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, which may adversely affect the Issuer's earnings and the value of the Bonds, and in such circumstances an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an equivalent rate of interest

  • The value of the collateral securing the Bonds may not be sufficient to satisfy the Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds. If e.g. the Issuer ceases operating the Security Vessels in

the Pool (either voluntarily or involuntarily), this may adversely affect the value of collateral securing the Bonds. Maritime liens may arise and take priority over the liens securing the Bonds. There is a risk that security and perfection over certain collateral will not be in place by the issue date of the Bonds and failures or inadequacies in perfecting security may arise and following a default, the Trustee may not be able to realize the security

  • Mandatory prepayment events may lead to a prepayment of the Bonds in circumstances where an investor may not be able to reinvest the prepayment proceeds at an

equivalent rate of interest. The Issuer may not have sufficient funds to make the required redemption of Bonds upon a Change of Control Event. The Issuer may have to rely on payments from the Parent to redeem the Bonds and the Parent may not be able to make payments to the Issuer in some circumstances

  • Enforcement of rights as a Bondholder across multiple jurisdictions may prove difficult. Furthermore, in the event any Bondholder’s rights as a Bondholder have been

infringed, it may be difficult to enforce judgments against the Issuer or its respective directors or management. Bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings may prove difficult depending on which jurisdiction proceedings are opened in, and the Issuer's liabilities in respect of the Bonds may rank junior to certain of the Issuer's debts. Insolvency proceedings is likely to include the laws of the Marshall Islands and the United States, and the insolvency proceedings may be complex, time consuming and result in substantial reduction in payments to holders of the Bonds

  • Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of an investment in the Bonds in light of its own circumstances and no assurance can be given as to the

impact of any possible judicial decision or change of laws and practices after the date of this Investor Presentation and the Offering Memorandum

Rationale for investing in Suezmaxes and MRs

  • Workhorse of ocean crude oil transportation
  • Ton-mile demand for Suezmaxes has grown faster

than for other crude tankers sizes since 2000, and Ridgebury expects this trend to continue

  • Favourable supply fundamentals, with zero to

negative net fleet growth for the next two to three years

  • Compared to VLCCs, Suezmaxes have significantly

more trading routes, charterers and cargo types and, therefore, fewer ballast voyages

  • Suezmaxes are able to carry larger parcel sizes

and offer better economies of scale than Aframaxes, yet are able to compete on nearly all

  • f the same trade routes as Aframaxes
  • Due to these factors, the charter hire earned

from Suezmaxes typically reflects changes in the demand for and cost of transportation of crude

  • il without the attendant volatility of VLCCs

Rationale for Suezmaxes

  • Initial core product acquisitions focus on MR

sector

  • MR to benefit from

– Shifts in geographical refining patterns: Larger and more efficient refineries are being built in geographic locations that are generally longer distances from the principal areas of refined product consumption. As a result, more vessels are required to transport refined products over greater distances – Shortage of refinery capacity in South America and developing Africa – Increasing mismatch between refinery outputs and local demand for various grades of refined products leads to increased triangulation opportunities – Arbitrage trade flows from volatile oil prices – Growing trade in vegetable oils

Rationale for MRs

Investing in the Bonds involves inherent risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risk factors set out in the Offering Memorandum before making an investment decision. The below risk factors are only an extract of the risk factors included in the Offering Memorandum for the Bond Issue. A prospective investor should carefully consider all the risks related to the Issuer, and should consult his or her own expert advisors as to the suitability of an investment in securities of the Issuer. An investment in securities of the Issuer entails significant risks and is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of the

  • investment. Against this background, an investor should thus make a careful assessment of the Issuer and its prospects before deciding to invest.

Risks related to the market in which the Issuer operates

  • Exposure to crude tanker market - The market for large crude oil tankers has historically seen very volatile charter rates and has over the last few years been depressed,

mainly due to over-supply of oil tankers. The average time charter equivalent rates for the Pool in 2013 were only slightly above the minimum rates required for the Issuer to cover all operating and financial costs. Although the current rates are higher, no guarantee can be made that these higher rates will persist or that the future rates available to the Issuer will be sufficient to cover its costs. If such a situation persists for a substantial period, the Issuer's earnings and available cash flow may be materially adversely affected. If the market is weak, the Issuer may enter into contracts on less favorable terms than projected. This may have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Issuer and its ability to service its debts when due.

  • Due to the Issuer's main exposure towards the market for large crude oil tankers (Suezmaxes), adverse developments in the crude oil tanker industry – including e.g.

changes in trading patterns for crude oil tankers due to inter alia reduced U.S. oil imports – could negatively impact the Issuer and the Issuer's results of operations and financial condition. The Issuer's financial performance may be subject to greater risk of loss than if its assets were more widely diversified. The crude oil tanker industry is highly competitive and fragmented and includes several large owners and operators that compete in the markets the Group and the Issuer serve, or will serve, as well as numerous smaller companies. The Issuer may be unable to successfully compete with other vessel operators, some of which may have greater resources than the Issuer, for charters.

  • Any future sale of the Security Vessels at a reduced value could have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's financial condition and make it unable to repay the Bonds on

the Final Maturity Date. Reduced ship values will also have an adverse effect on the security coverage under the Bond.

  • Cyclical nature of the crude tank industry - The Shipping markets are cyclical in nature and changes in the demand for or the supply of oil tankers affects the prices of

vessels in the secondhand market.

  • The second hand sale/purchase market for vessels may from time to time be illiquid and, as a result, broker valuations of vessels can to a large extent be based on estimates

and may be highly dependent on broker’s discretion. Forced sale of vessels may also take place at lower prices than for transactions between a willing buyer and a willing seller, and may also lead to lower broker valuations. These factors may impact and have an adverse effect on the estimated market value of the Security Vessels. Depending

  • n the price decrease and the duration of a negative trend, a reduction in the value of the Security Vessels may lead to the Issuer not being in compliance with its loan-to-

value covenants under the Bond Agreement, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity

Risk factors

41

slide-42
SLIDE 42
  • Bunker prices - Fuel or bunker prices are historically high and further increases may inter alia affect the Issuer's profits and may have a negative effect on the Issuer's

liquidity.

  • Hidden defects and risk related to the maintenance of the Security Vessels - the Security Vessels have all been acquired second hand by the respective Vessel Owners. The

industry standard for such acquisitions is "as is" terms, implying that the Issuer carries the risk for any hidden defect or defects not discovered during pre-purchase inspection of the respective vessels. Any such defects may have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Security Vessels and their ability to trade.

  • The Issuer is subject to substantial operational and maintenance costs for the Security Vessels, which may at times be unpredictable and which may affect the Issuer's

financial condition

  • Operating risks - Ocean-going vessels are subject to numerous operating risks. These include (but are not limited to) risks of pollution, fires, explosions and collisions,

human error as well as possible arrests, requisitioning by authorities, detention, terrorism, piracy, war risk and other circumstances of events. In addition, the operation of tankers has unique operational risks associated with the transportation of oil. An oil spill may cause significant environmental damage, and the associated costs could exceed the insurance coverage available to the Issuer. Compared to many other types of vessels, tankers are exposed to a higher risk of damage and loss by fire, whether ignited by a terrorist attack, collision, or other cause, due to the high flammability and high volume of the oil transported in tankers. If such risks materialize, it could affect the Issuer's business and reputation and/or have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's results of operations and financial condition. The Issuer's contracts may not provide adequate protection for such liability and such liability may not be limited to a fixed amount thereunder. Although the Issuer will insure the Security Vessels in accordance with market practice, there can be no assurance that the insurance will cover all or any part of the Issuer's losses in such events.

  • Pool risks - Risks associated with the employment of the Security Vessels in pool arrangements including the risk of poor performance by other vessels in the pool which in

turn may have an adverse effect on the earnings ultimately payable to the respective Vessel Owner. Further, the Security Vessels may be removed from the Pool, which may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's business, operations and financial condition. Employment of vessels in pool arrangements may also be subject to changes in competition law regulations and restrictions which may necessitate restructuring or reorganization of pool arrangements in the future.

  • Risks related to affiliated companies - In addition to the Issuer and its subsidiaries the Parent Group consists of MidCo and the Parent's subsidiary Ridgebury Tankers which
  • wns several vessel owning subsidiaries (the "Ridgebury Tankers Group"). The business of the Ridgebury Tankers Group mainly consists of ownership of MR product tankers

employed through the Norient Pool. This group is financed through a bank facility which has and may receive the benefit of a parent guarantee from MidCo and the Parent

  • respectively. Due to this structure, MidCo will and the Parent may be subject to risks relating to the MR product tanker segment as well as those relating to the Suezmax
  • segment. Any risks materializing with the Ridgebury Tankers Group may have adverse consequences for MidCo and the Parent, which in turn may have adverse

consequences for the financial condition and operational state of the Issuer.

  • Reliance on third party managers - The Issuer depends upon third party managers and their ability to provide technical and commercial management services for the

Security Vessels any failure by any manager to perform its duties and obligations may adversely affect the operations, performance and profitability of the Security Vessels.

Risk factors (cont’d)

42

slide-43
SLIDE 43
  • War and instability - War, conflicts, military tension and terrorist attacks may cause instability in the areas where the Group may be operating from time to time, or may

cause instability in the world’s financial and commercial markets. Political and economic instability may occur in some of the geographic areas in which the Group operates (or may operate in the future) and may contribute to disruptions of operations, loss or seizure of Security Vessels, kidnapping of marine crew or onshore employees, piracy and other adverse effects including increased operating costs.

  • Regulations governing operations - The Issuer and Vessel Owners are subject to the international laws and regulations governing the shipping industry. The Issuer and its

subsidiaries are required to comply with the various regulations introduced by the authorities where the operations take place, the applicable legislation of various flag states as well as the guidelines introduced by international agencies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) where applicable. In the event that the Issuer/Charterer/pool is unable at any time to comply with the existing regulations or any changes in such regulations, or any new regulations introduced by local or international bodies, the operations may be adversely affected. Any change in or introduction of new regulations, may increase the costs of operations, which could have an adverse effect on the Issuer’s profitability. Furthermore, if a Security Vessel does not comply with the extensive regulations applicable from time to time, the consequence may be that the Security Vessel is unable to continue its operations.

  • Insurance - Issuer's insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to Security Vessels or result from their operations. The Issuer's insurance is intended to

cover risks associated with the conduct of its business, as well as environmental damage and pollution coverage. The Issuer cannot assure that it has adequately insured against all risks, that any future claims will be paid, or that it will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. Risks related to the Issuer's financial situation and liquidity

  • Tax risks - Changes in taxation law or the interpretation of taxation law may impact the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Issuer and the Parent
  • Group. To the extent tax rules change, this could have both a prospective and retrospective impact on the Issuer and the Parent Group, both of which could be material. If

any tax authority successfully challenges the Issuer's operational structure, taxable pretense or similar circumstances, the Issuer's effective tax rate could increase substantially and the Issuer's earnings and cash flows from operations could be materially adversely affected.

  • Inability of Parent to honour Parent Guarantee - Ridgebury Tankers has entered into a USD 105 million loan facility with Deutsche Bank. MidCo has provided or will provide

a guarantee and the Parent may provide a guarantee in respect of the loan amount. Any failure by Ridgebury Tankers to comply with the terms of the loan agreement, or any failure to repay the loan amount at maturity date may have a material impact on the Parent Group as a whole. In addition, the Parent and MidCo are Guarantors under the Bond Agreement. If Ridgebury Tankers is unable to comply with its obligations pursuant to the loan agreement in the future, it may affect the Bondholders' security under the Bond Agreement. Such non compliance may adversely affect the value of the Parent Guarantee and the MidCo Guarantee. It may also lead to a forced sale of MidCo's or, depending on whether the Parent will provide its guarantee, the Parent's assets, including shares in the Issuer (subject to the bondholder share pledge), and may further invoke cross default under the Bond Agreement.

Risk factors (cont’d)

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44
  • Risk of increasing operating costs - The Issuer is highly dependent on cash flow from its operations in order to be able to meet its debt obligations as and when they fall
  • due. As there are many factors affecting the Issuer's liquidity, prospective investors should carefully assess each such factor before investing in the Bonds.
  • Failure to service debt or refinance - The Issuer's ability to service its indebtedness depends on many factors beyond its control, and no assurance can be given to that the

Issuer will be able to make scheduled payments under the Bond. Pursuant to the Bond Agreement, the Bonds shall be payable in full on the Final Maturity Date. In the event that the Issuer is unable to meet its ongoing debt obligations or has insufficient cash to redeem the Bonds in full on the Final Maturity Date, no assurance can be given that it will be able to obtain the necessary debt or equity refinancing, or that such refinancing will be on terms acceptable to the Issuer. A failure to obtain required refinancing would have material adverse effect on the Issuer's business, operations and financial condition and the ability to repay the Bonds on the Final Maturity Date. Risks related to the Bonds

  • Mandatory prepayment events may lead to a prepayment of the Bonds in circumstances where an investor may not be able to reinvest the prepayment proceeds at an

equivalent rate of interest - In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement, the Bonds are subject to mandatory prepayment by the Issuer on the

  • ccurrence of certain specified events. Following any early redemption after the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment Event, it may not be possible for Bondholders to

reinvest such proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Bonds and may only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. It is further possible that the Issuer will not have sufficient funds at the time of the Mandatory Prepayment Event to make the required redemption of Bonds.

  • Bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings may prove difficult depending on which jurisdiction proceedings are opened in, and the Issuer's liabilities in respect of the

Bonds may rank junior to certain of the Issuer's debts - As a general matter, the Issuer’s liabilities in respect of the Bonds may, in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or similar proceeding, rank junior to certain of such Issuer’s debts that may be entitled to priority under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. A bankruptcy may, depending on which jurisdiction the proceedings are opened in, stay or temporarily prevent any enforcement proceedings of the Bondholders.

  • There will only be a limited trading market for the Bonds.- There is no existing market for the Bonds, and there can be no assurance given regarding the future

development of a trading market for the Bonds. Potential investors should note that it may be difficult or even impossible to trade and sell the Bonds in the secondary market.

  • The market price of the Bonds may be volatile -The market price of the Bonds could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to actual or anticipated variations in

the Issuer’s operating results and those of its competitors, adverse business developments, changes to the regulatory environment in which the Issuer operates, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and the actual or expected sale of a large number of Bonds, as well as other factors.

  • The Bondholders may be subject to restrictions on transfers of the Bonds - The Bonds are freely transferable and may be pledged, subject to the following: (i) Bondholders

may be subject to purchase or transfer restrictions with regard to the Bonds, as applicable from time to time under local laws to which a Bondholder may be subject (due e.g. to its nationality, its residency, its registered address, its place(s) for doing business). Each Bondholder must ensure compliance with local laws and regulations applicable at own cost and expense.

  • The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement will allow for modification of the Bonds or security, waivers or authorizations of breaches and substitution of the

Issuer which, in certain circumstances, may be effected without the consent of Bondholders -The Bond Agreement will contain provisions for calling meetings of

Risk factors (cont’d)

44

slide-45
SLIDE 45
  • Bondholders. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Bondholders. The Trustee may, without the consent of the Bondholders, agree to certain modifications
  • f the Bond Agreement and other finance documents which, in the opinion of the Trustee, are proper to make.
  • Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments - The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or

review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) the Bonds are legal investments for it, (ii) the Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or use of the Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

  • Although the Issuer intends to operate its fleet in the Pool, it may cease operating the Security Vessels in the Pool (either voluntarily or involuntarily), which may

adversely affect the value of collateral securing the Bonds- As security for the obligations under the Finance Documents, the Issuer has or will execute inter alia an assignment of the Pool Agreements, which includes direct cure and termination rights in case of default. If the Issuer ceases to operate the Security Vessels in the Pool (either voluntarily or involuntarily), there is, inter alia, a risk that the Issuer is not able to obtain equally lucrative employment for the Security Vessels, which may adversely affect the value of the collateral securing the Bonds.

  • The value of the collateral securing the Bonds may not be sufficient to satisfy the Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds -There can be no assurance that the Trustee will be

able to sell any of the security for the Bond Issue without delays (or even at all) or that the proceeds obtained will be sufficient to pay all of the secured obligations. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors have any obligation to pledge additional vessels or assets to secure the Bonds in the event the Bonds become under-secured. If this were to coincide with the time in which the collateral was sold to satisfy payment obligations on the Bonds, there may be insufficient proceeds from such sales to satisfy all payment

  • bligations due under the Bonds.
  • Following a default, the Trustee may not be able to realize any or all of the security - It may be difficult or even impossible for the Trustee to enforce the security. In

particular, the enforcement of vessel mortgages can be complicated. For example, it can be difficult to locate a Security Vessel without the assistance of a specialist agency,

  • r problematic to enforce the mortgage as it would be subject to the laws of the place where the vessel is situated at the time of enforcement.
  • Failures or inadequacies in perfecting security - It is possible that inadequacies or failures in perfecting the security may arise. Such inadequacies or failures may lead to

unexpected and/or conflicting claims of Bondholders.

  • Maritime liens may arise and take priority over the liens securing the Bonds - The laws of jurisdictions in which a Security Vessel is registered, travels through on

mobilization or operates may give rise to the existence of maritime or other liens which may take priority over the security securing the Bonds, including the Mortgages.

  • Security - Security over certain collateral will not be in place by the issue date of the Bonds and will not be perfected on the issue date of the Bonds.
  • The Issuer will assume substantial indebtedness - Following the issuance of Bonds, the Issuer will have substantial indebtedness which may limit the flexibility of its
  • perations, its business, its financial capability and its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Bond Agreement and its other agreements, which could have negative

consequences for the bondholders. Further, the Issuer may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations.

Risk factors (cont’d)

45

slide-46
SLIDE 46
  • The Issuer’s ability to service its indebtedness depends on many factors beyond its control - The Issuer’s ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance its
  • bligations under, the Bonds will depend upon the Issuer’s financial and operating performance, which, in turn, will be subject to prevailing economic and competitive

conditions and to financial and business factors, many of which may be beyond the Issuer’s control.

  • The Issuer may have to rely on payments from the Parent to redeem the Bonds and the Parent may not be able to make payments to the Issuer in some circumstances -

The Issuer may not be able to obtain sufficient revenue or external financing in order to pay interest and redeem the Bonds. In such event the Issuer will rely on payments from the Parent and/or other Parent Group companies. However, the Parent or such other Parent Group companies may not have sufficient funds or willingness to provide such payments. The breach of the Issuer's payment obligations could result in an event of default under the Bond Agreement.

  • The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors - Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own

circumstances.

  • Change of control – the Issuers’ ability to redeem the Bonds with cash may be limited -Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event each individual Bondholder shall

have a right of pre-payment of the Bonds as set out in the Bond Agreement. However, it is possible that the Issuer may not have sufficient funds to make the required redemption of Bonds.

  • Fulfilment of Conditions Precedent - Most of the conditions precedent are under the control of the Issuer, but it is also inherent risk that not all of the conditions precedent

are obtained in time. This may lead to a mandatory prepayment of the Bond Issue.

  • The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement will impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent the Issuer from capitalizing on business
  • pportunities and taking some actions -The terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement will contain restrictions on the Issuer’s activities. The restrictions in the terms and

conditions of the Bond Agreement may prevent the Issuer from taking actions that it believes would be in the best interest of the Issuer’s business, and may make it difficult for the Issuer to execute its business strategy successfully or compete effectively with companies that are not similarly restricted. The Issuer cannot assure investors that it will be granted waivers or amendments to these agreements if for any reason it is unable to comply with these agreements. The breach of any of these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Bond Agreement.

  • The price of the Bonds are subject to risks of interest rate and currency fluctuation -The price of a single bond will fluctuate in accordance with the interest rate and credit

markets in general, the market view of the credit risk of that particular bond issue, and the liquidity of these bonds in the market. The interest rates can, and will, experience substantial fluctuations caused by a number of factors based on the development in the international economy.

  • The Bonds may be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, which may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Bonds, and in such circumstances an

investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an equivalent rate of interest - In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement, the Bonds are subject to optional redemption by the Issuer at their outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, plus in some events an amount calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bond Agreement. This feature is likely to limit the market value of the Bonds. During any period when the Issuer may elect to redeem the Bonds, the market value of the Bonds generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed. This may also be true prior to any redemption period.

Risk factors (cont’d)

46

slide-47
SLIDE 47
  • The enforcement of rights as a Bondholder across multiple jurisdictions may prove difficult. Furthermore, in the event any Bondholder’s rights as a Bondholder have

been infringed, it may be difficult to enforce judgments against the Issuer or its respective directors or management - The Parent, the MidCo, the Issuer and the Vessel Owners are incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands. The Security Vessels are expected to travel worldwide and any cash balances in the Accounts are the only assets it holds in Norway. The Issuer's business is operated primarily from offices in the United States. Local laws may prevent or restrict Bondholders from enforcing a judgment against the Issuer’s assets, the assets of its senior managers, the assets of the guarantors and/or the assets of the directors or management of the guarantors.

  • Insolvency of the Issuer, Parent or Vessel Owner - As the Parent, the MidCo, the Issuer and the Vessel Owners are incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and

the Security Vessels are registered under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and the Issuer's business is operated primarily from offices in the United States, an insolvency proceeding relating to the Parent, the MidCo, the Issuer or the Vessel Owners, even if brought in another jurisdiction, would likely involve United States and Marshall Islands insolvency laws, the procedural and substantive provisions of which may differ from comparable provisions of those of other jurisdictions with which investors are

  • familiar. Investors should also note that the process of making a claim as creditor of the Issuer under United States and Marshall Islands laws may be complex and time-

consuming, and could result in substantial reduction in payments to holders of the Bonds.

  • Enforcement actions: It may be difficult or even impossible for the Trustee to enforce the security. In particular, the enforcement of vessel mortgages can be complicated.

For example, it can be difficult to locate a Security Vessel without the assistance of a specialist agency, or problematic to enforce the mortgage as it would be subject to the laws of the place where the vessel is situated at the time of enforcement.

  • Change of law - The terms and conditions of the Bonds are governed by Norwegian law and the terms and conditions of the security documents may, inter alia, be governed

by Norwegian, English, Marshall Islands and U.S. law, in each case in effect as at the date of this Offering Memorandum. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to such laws or administrative practices after the date of this Offering Memorandum.

  • Valuations are inherently subjective and the valuations of the Vessels contained in the Offering Memorandum are subject to significant assumptions- The fair market

appraisals of the vessels were provided in good faith to the best of knowledge of the valuers and are solely statements of their opinion as to the fair and reasonable market value of the vessels at the date given. No assurance can be given that the estimates can be sustained or are realizable in an actual transaction.
