Tax treatment for US Tax Reporting Purposes

It is the view of the Company that BW LPG’s dividends are “qualified dividends” for US federal income tax purposes. It is the view that BW LPG qualifies for the publicly traded exemption under the applicable US federal income tax rules, and therefore, our dividends paid to US shareholders since the time of our listing on the NYSE are qualified dividends.
