Overview of Hafnia’s Share  Repurchase Program

In December 2024, Hafnia (NYSE:HAFN)launched a share  Repurchase program designed to repurchase up to 18 million shares, within a set timeframe ending on January 27, 2025. The program is a common corporate strategy that allows companies to reduce the number of shares in circulation, a move often viewed as a means of enhancing shareholder value. This repurchase initiative is managed through Pareto Securities AS and its subsidiary, ensuring that the process is carried out in compliance with regulatory standards.

No Share Repurchases Between January 13-17, 2025

Between January 13 and January 17, 2025, no repurchases were made as part of Hafnia’s ongoing program. The lack of activity during this period raises questions about the timing of the  Repurchases and factors that may influence their execution. A variety of external or internal factors can affect the pace and scale of share repurchases, such as market conditions, operational decisions, or liquidity considerations.

Role of Pareto Securities AS in the  Repurchase

The share  Repurchase program is being executed under the guidance of Pareto Securities AS, a financial services firm responsible for facilitating the repurchase process. With expertise in managing  Repurchase programs, Pareto Securities ensures that all aspects of the program are conducted efficiently, in line with regulations, and with minimal disruption to Hafnia’s broader business activities.

As the  Repurchase window nears its conclusion on January 27, 2025, industry observers will continue to monitor the program’s progress. The completion of the  Repurchase may influence market dynamics, while the pause in repurchases during the specified period invites scrutiny on Hafnia’s approach to shareholder engagement and market conditions
