No. 25/2014



                          FRAUD IN SINGAPORE SUBSIDIARY
                  ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT RISK MANAGEMENT LOSS

The senior management of OW Bunker has today been informed about a fraud
committed by senior employees in the Singapore-based subsidiary Dynamic Oil
Trading (DOT). The case is under investigation. The extent of the fraud is not
yet clear, but preliminary findings suggest a potential loss of around USD 125
million.

Isolated from the above, a review of OW Bunker's risk management contracts has
revealed a significant risk management loss in addition to the loss of USD 24.5
million announced on October 23, 2014 (Company Announcement 23/2014). As of
today, the mark to market loss is around USD 150 million.

In order to reduce risk management exposure to an absolute minimum level, risk
management contracts are currently being unwound.

Head of Risk Management and EVP Jane Dahl Christensen has as a consequence of
the risk management loss been dismissed with immediate effect.

The above events affects OW Bunker's operations and credit facilities. OW Bunker
is currently in discussions with the syndicate banks. OW Bunker will inform the
market further as soon as possible.
