The vessels will be equipped with the latest and most efficient propulsion system, contributing with significant improvements in fuel consumption and emissions performance. The vessels are dual-fuel ready, giving the Company time to evaluate alternatives while the visibility of future regulations and optimal technology improves.<\/p>\n<p>The vessels are scheduled to deliver from Q3\u20132023 to Q1-2024. Golden Ocean intends to finance the acquisition with operating cash flow and cash on hand and will establish long-term debt financing closer to delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Ulrik Andersen, CEO of Golden Ocean Management AS commented:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With this transaction, we continue executing on our strategy of renewing the fleet and improving its operating performance. At the same time, it underlines our belief in the long-term dry bulk fundamentals. <\/p>\n<p>We have secured an attractive price with a tail-heavy payment structure, which means Golden Ocean can absorb the transaction without impacting the Company&#8217;s dividend capacity, which continues to be a key priority. The vessels benefit from additional cargo intake, and the superior fuel economy will ensure low operating costs and a reduced carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">September 9, 2021<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Board of Directors<br \/>Golden Ocean Group Ltd. <br \/>Hamilton, Bermuda<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For further queries, please contact:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Ulrik Andersen: Chief Executive Officer, Golden Ocean Management AS<br \/>+47 22 01 73 53<\/p>\n<p>This information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. <\/p>\n<p>Forward-looking statements: <\/p>\n<p>This release and any materials distributed in connection with this release may contain certain forward-looking statements.
