Refinancing of loan facilities regarding Tor Viking II, Balder Viking
and Vidar Viking

TransAtlantic has agreed on a refinancing of its existing loan
facilities regarding Tor Viking II, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking.
Previous loan facilities have been repaid and a new term loan facility
of NOK 675 million, with a credit period until December 30, 2014, has
been raised.

The new NOK 675 million term loan facility is secured by mortgage deeds
in Tor Viking II, Balder Viking and Vidar Viking with priority ranking
after the registered mortgage deeds that have been pledged in favor of
the Swedish Maritime Authority.

The new loan facility is used for repayment of previous loans and to pay
half of the consideration in connection with the acquisition of SBS
Marine. Remaining part of the loan will be freely available for
TransAtlantic. Remaining part of the consideration for SBS Marine is
expected to be financed through the issue of new shares of SEK 555
million, which is expected to be completed in December 2011.
