Termination of equity hedge

Termination of equity hedge

Today, Concordia Maritime has terminated the equity hedge that has been in place
since 2005 and which currently amounts to USD 135 million, equivalent to approx.
50% of equity.

The decision will not have any impact on the income statement.

Concordia Maritime's functional currency is USD, i.e. the major part of its
revenues, costs and the balance sheet are denominated in USD. This means that
changes in the SEK/USD exchange rate affect both the result and equity. A
stronger USD increases equity while a weaker USD reduces equity. An equity hedge
reduces the effect of this type of change in exchange rates. There will now be
no hedge against exchange rate fluctuations.
