BW LPG Limited: Launch of Share Buy-back Program<\/b><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nOn 8 April 2025, the Board of Directors of BW LPG Limited (\u201cBW LPG\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d, OSE ticker code: \u201cBWLPG.OL\u201d, NYSE ticker code: \u201cBWLP\u201d) has resolved to initiate a share buyback program under which BW LPG may purchase up to 3 million ordinary shares for a maximum amount of USD 20 million from the open market, subject to market conditions. The share buy-back program will commence on 8 April 2025 and continue until 17 April 2025. The shares purchased will be held as treasury shares.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Company cannot predict how many shares it may repurchase, if any, or the timing of any repurchase or the price that will be paid for any shares repurchased under the program.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe amount utilised for the share buyback program will be treated independently from future dividend consideration, which remains at the discretion of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy.\n<\/p>\n

\nKristian S\u00f8rensen, CEO of BW LPG, says \u201cWe are activating our share buyback program as the current share price is trading at a significant discount to both implied historical asset values and NAV. This is further demonstrated by our announcement on 31 March 2025 on the sale of the BW Pampero and BW Chinook (both built in 2015) to our 52% owned subsidiary BW LPG India at USD 75 million per ship, and the issuance of BW LPG shares at an implied value of USD 17.25 per share in connection with the acquisition of the 12 Avance Gas VLGCs (see our announcement of 31 December 2024).\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Company has put in place an agreement with DNB Markets (\u201cDNB\u201d) for the repurchase of the Company’s shares in open market transactions on the Oslo Stock Exchange (\u201cOSE\u201d) and the New York Stock Exchange (\u201cNYSE\u201d).\n<\/p>\n

\nRepurchases on the OSE will be completed in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596\/2014 (\u201cMAR\u201d) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016\/1052 (\u201cSafe Harbour Regulation\u201d).\n<\/p>\n

\nThis information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and article 5 of the European Market Abuse Regulation.\n<\/p>\n
