ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of Class A common shares and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. The second part, the base prospectus, gives more general information about securities we or the selling shareholder may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the “prospectus,” we are referring to both parts combined, and when we refer to the “accompanying base prospectus,” we are referring to the base prospectus.

If the description of this offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated into each by reference include important information about us, the selling shareholder, the Class A common shares being offered and other information you should know before investing. You should read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information” before investing in our Class A common shares.

We have authorized only the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf or to which we have referred you. None of us, the selling shareholder or the underwriter have authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. None of us, the selling shareholder or the underwriter take any responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any information that others may give you. The selling shareholder is offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, the Class A common shares only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus is accurate only as of the date such information was issued, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement or any sale of the Class A common shares. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “TORM plc,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to TORM plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references to “Oaktree” are to Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., and all references to the “selling shareholder” or “Njord Luxco” are to OCM Njord Holdings S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 26A, boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register (Registre de commerce et des sociétés, Luxembourg) under number B176516, which is indirectly owned by funds managed by Oaktree and its affiliates. Additionally, all references to “U.S. dollars,” “USD,” “dollars,” “US$” and “$” in this prospectus supplement are to the lawful currency of the United States of America and references to “DKK” are to the lawful currency of Denmark. We use the term deadweight ton, or dwt, in describing the size of vessels. Dwt, expressed in metric tons, each of which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, refers to the maximum weight of cargo and supplies that a vessel can carry.

We report our consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars and in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, which also comply with reporting requirements under English law.

Risk Factors” section of our 2025 Form 20-F to read about factors you should consider before buying our Class A common shares.

S-9

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Class A common shares involves risks. Before deciding whether to purchase common shares, you should consider the risks discussed in this prospectus, including the sections of this prospectus titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors,” and those set forth under the heading “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 20-F, that we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, or any similar caption in the documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of those risk factors could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks inherent in an investment in our Class A common shares

Our share price may be highly volatile, and future sales of our Class A common shares could cause the market price of our Class A common shares to decline.

The market price of TORM plc’s shares, has historically fluctuated over a wide range and may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, economic and regulatory trends, general market conditions, rumors and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Both the broader equity markets and the shipping sector have experienced periods of elevated volatility, at times not fully reflecting the underlying operating performance of individual companies. If the volatility in the market continues or worsens, it could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common shares and impact a potential sale price if holders of our Class A common shares decide to sell their shares.

In addition, a large proportion of our Class A common shares are held by a limited number of shareholders. A potentially limited free float due to shareholder concentration may have a negative impact on the liquidity of our Class A common shares and may result in a low trading volume, which could have an adverse effect on the market price and result in increased volatility.

Further, future sales or availability for sale of our Class A common shares may materially affect the price of our Class A common shares. Sales of substantial amounts of Class A common shares, including sales by Njord Luxco or Hafnia Limited, or Hafnia, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common shares.

In addition, the market price and trading volume of our Class A common shares have very recently and at certain other times in the past exhibited, and may continue to exhibit, high volatility, including within a single trading day. A proportion of our common shares may be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and demand for our Class A common shares, creating further price volatility. In particular, a possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common shares that largely exceeds supply may lead to sudden extreme price volatility in our Class A common shares. Investors may purchase our common shares to hedge existing exposure in our common shares or to speculate on the price of our common shares. Speculation on the price of our common shares may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of common shares available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common shares for delivery to lenders of our common shares. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common shares until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional common shares to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” Following such a short squeeze, once investors purchase the shares necessary to cover their short position, the price of our common shares may rapidly decline. A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in our shares that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and could cause purchasers of our common shares to incur substantial losses.

In addition, some companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their common shares have been subject to securities class-action litigation. If instituted against us, such litigation could result in

S-10

substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that the price of our common shares will remain at or rise above its post-distribution level or that future sales of our common shares will not be at prices lower than those initially distributed or sold to investors.

We are thus unable to predict when such instances of trading volatility will occur or how long such dynamics may last. Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell any of our Class A common shares you may have purchased at a price greater than or equal to its original purchase price, or that you will be able to sell our common shares at all.

We may issue additional securities without your approval, which could dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of our securities.

We may issue additional securities of equal or senior rank to your securities, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances. At the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, our Board of Directors was granted certain authorizations to increase our issued share capital, both with and without pre-emption rights to the existing shareholders. These share authorities expire on April 10, 2029.

The issuance by us of additional securities of equal or senior rank to your securities may have the following effects:

•

our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us may decrease;

•

the amount of cash available for dividends or interest payments may decrease;

•

the relative voting strength of previously issued outstanding securities may be diminished; and

•

the market price of our securities may decline.

In accordance with our remuneration policy, our Board of Directors has, as part of the long-term incentive program granted certain members of our management and employees Restricted Share Units, or RSUs, in the form of restricted stock options. The RSUs aim at incentivizing the employees to seek to improve the performance of the Company and thereby our share price for the mutual benefit of themselves and our shareholders. There was an aggregate of 5,379,240 RSUs outstanding as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Subject to vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to acquire one Class A common share. The RSUs will vest over a three-year period from the grant date with an original exercise price for each Class A common share of DKK 220.6, 258.4, 162.4 or 167.14, depending on the year that the RSUs were granted. In 2025, an incentive program was granted on similar terms as outlined above with the exceptions that the strike price for these RSUs is set to one U.S. cent and that all the RSUs will vest on October 1, 2028. Vested RSUs may be exercised for a period of 360 days from each vesting date. The exercise price on the RSUs may be adjusted by the Board of Directors to reflect dividend payments made to shareholders. Assuming full vesting and exercise of RSUs outstanding as of the date of this prospectus supplement, this would result in the issuance of 5,379,240 additional Class A common shares representing approximately 5.25% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares. Please see “Item 10. Additional Information — A. Share Capital-Restricted Share Units” in the 2025 Form 20-F.

The majority of our Class A common shares and voting power are held by a limited number of shareholders, which may create conflicts of interest.

A large portion of our Class A common shares are beneficially held by a limited number of shareholders, including Njord Luxco, a company affiliated with Oaktree and its affiliates, and Hafnia. As of the date of this prospectus supplement and based on public filings, Oaktree owns 20,329,874 Class A common shares, or approximately 19.85% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares, and Hafnia owns 14,156,061 Class A common shares, or approximately 13.82% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares. One or

S-11

a limited number of shareholders may have the ability, either acting alone or together as a group, to influence or determine the outcome of specific matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors, the execution of mergers or other strategic transactions, and amendments to the Articles of Association such as changes to our issued share capital or any merger or acquisition. Our Articles of Association contain certain restrictions on us undertaking certain actions unless the approval by certain of our directors and/or a particular majority of our shareholders is obtained. Such restrictions may hamper or impede our ability to take certain corporate actions in a timely manner or at all. Any changes to the composition of the Board of Directors may lead to material changes to our business going forward.

S-12

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of our Class A common shares offered hereby are being sold by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of our Class A common shares they are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Class A common shares. Because we will not be selling any shares in this offering, the offering will not result in any dilution of equity ownership to existing holders of Class A common shares.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

The following table sets forth information as of September 14, 2026, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Class A common shares by Njord Luxco, the selling shareholder, subject to certain assumptions set forth in the footnotes and as adjusted to reflect the sale of Class A common shares by the selling shareholder as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of rules and regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

UNDERWRITING

Under the terms and subject to the conditions in an underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the underwriter in this offering, has agreed to purchase, and the selling shareholder has agreed to sell to the underwriter, 9,000,000 Class A common shares.

The underwriter is offering the Class A common shares subject to its acceptance of the Class A common shares from the selling shareholder and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter to pay for and accept delivery of the Class A common shares offered by this prospectus supplement are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by its counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the Class A common shares offered by this prospectus supplement if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriter is not required to take or pay for the Class A common shares covered by the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares described below. Sales of any Class A common shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriter.

The underwriter initially proposes to offer the Class A common shares directly to the public at the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial offering of the Class A common shares, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied. The offering of the shares by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The selling shareholder has granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 1,350,000 additional Class A common shares at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, less underwriting discounts and commissions. To the extent the option is exercised, the underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase 1,350,000 additional Class A common shares.

The following table shows the per share and total public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, and proceeds before expenses to the selling shareholder. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase up to an additional 1,350,000 Class A common shares.

Our Class A common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “TRMD”. Our Class A common shares also trade on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the symbol “TRMD A.”

We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, we will not, during the period ending 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, or the restricted period, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Class A common shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A common shares, or file or

S-19

confidentially submit any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any such securities, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A common shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the above, the restrictions contained in the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (1) the Class A common shares to be sold hereunder, (2) any Class A common shares we issue upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in this prospectus supplement (including the documents incorporated by reference), (3) any Class A common shares issued or options to purchase Class A common shares granted pursuant to our existing employee benefit plans referred to in this prospectus supplement (including the documents incorporated by reference) or (4) any Class A common shares issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in this prospectus supplement (including the documents incorporated by reference).

Our directors, certain officers and the selling shareholder have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, they will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the restricted period (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Class A common shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A common shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by them or with respect to which they have, or hereafter acquire the power of, disposition, or the lock-up securities, or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the lock-up securities, or file, cause to be filed or cause to be confidentially submitted any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the lock-up securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Class A common shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the above, the lock-up agreements applicable to our directors, certain officers and the selling shareholder do not apply to transfers of the lock-up securities: (a) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (b) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of, or for the benefit of the immediate family of, the directors or the selling shareholder, (c) as a distribution to the members, limited partners or stockholders of the directors or the selling shareholder or (d) to affiliates of, or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by, the directors or the selling shareholder. The lock-up agreements also do not apply to awards under the Company’s management long-term incentive plans. Additionally, our directors, certain officers and the selling shareholder may sell Class A common shares they purchase on the open market following the offering, subject to certain conditions.

The underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release the Class A common shares and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time.

In order to facilitate the offering of the Class A common shares, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class A common shares. Specifically, the underwriter may sell more shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriter under the option. The underwriter can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option. The underwriter may also sell shares in excess of the option, creating a naked short position. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect

S-20

investors who purchase in this offering. As an additional means of facilitating this offering, the underwriter may bid for, and purchase, Class A common shares in the open market to stabilize the price of the Class A common shares. These activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Class A common shares above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Class A common shares. The underwriter is not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

We, the selling shareholder and the underwriter have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

A prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites maintained by the underwriter, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of Class A common shares for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriter that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

The underwriter and its respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of its various business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

As of the date of this prospectus, we control and operate a fleet of 96 product tankers, 72 of which we own and 24 of which we control through charter in on bareboat charter with the option and/or obligation to purchase the vessel during the contract period.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell or distribute the securities included in this prospectus and any selling shareholder may sell our common shares through underwriters, through agents, to dealers, in private transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.

In addition, we may sell some or all of our securities, and any selling shareholder may sell our common shares included in this prospectus through:

•

a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers; or

•

trading plans entered into by us or any selling shareholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of our securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans.

In addition, we or any selling shareholder may enter into options or other types of transactions that require us or them to deliver our securities to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus. We or any selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we or any selling shareholder may:

•

enter into transactions involving short sales of our common shares by broker-dealers;

•

sell common shares short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

•

enter into option or other types of transactions that require us or any selling shareholder to deliver common shares to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the common shares under this prospectus;

•

loan or pledge the common shares to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares; or

•

a combination of the foregoing.

We or any selling shareholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or any selling shareholder or borrowed from us, any selling shareholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us or any selling shareholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we or any selling shareholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities (which may be newly-issued or outstanding securities) to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus or on-lend the securities to third parties who may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

Any selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or other persons acting on our behalf that participate with us in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received or profit realized by them on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding between any broker or dealer and us with respect to the offer or sale of the securities pursuant to this prospectus.

At the time that any particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required by the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, setting forth the terms of the offering, including the aggregate number of securities being offered, the purchase price of the securities, the initial offering price of the securities, the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Furthermore, we, our executive officers, our directors and any selling shareholder may agree, subject to certain exemptions, that for a certain period from the date of the prospectus supplement under which the securities are offered, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of an underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of our common shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares. However, an underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. We expect an underwriter to exclude from these lock-up agreements securities exercised and/or sold pursuant to trading plans entered into by us or any selling shareholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of our securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans.

Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an at-the-market offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

We will bear costs relating to all of the securities offered and sold by us under this registration statement.

If more than five percent (5%) of the net proceeds of any offering of common shares made under this prospectus will be received by a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, member participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such a FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus may also, from time to time, relate to an offering by one or more selling shareholder(s) of its or their shares. Selling shareholder(s) may sell all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned by them and offered from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters or dealers. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the selling shareholder(s) will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The selling shareholder(s) may sell its or their shares in one or more transactions at negotiated fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. These sales may be effected in transactions which may be structured as block trades or using any other method permitted pursuant to applicable laws, rules and regulations, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The selling shareholders, who will be named in a prospectus supplement, may offer and sell Class A common shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale of our Class A common shares by any of the selling shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following is a summary of the description of our share capital. Because the following is a summary, it does not contain all information that you may find useful. For more complete information, you should read our Memorandum and Articles of Association, which were filed as Exhibit 1.1 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, initially filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024 and thereafter amended. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Share Capital

Issued and Authorized Capitalization

As of the date of this prospectus, our share capital consists of 97,814,051 Class A common shares, including 493,371 treasury shares, one Class B share, par value $0.01 per share and one Class C share, par value $0.01 per share.

We plan to solicit the approval of our shareholders and apply for a court order from the Companies Court in England and Wales to effect the cancellation of 493,371 treasury shares that we purchased in share buybacks on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S in 2016 and 2020. The cancellation of these treasury shares is intended to rectify the fact that these repurchases were not made in accordance with the UK Companies Act, which distinguishes between buybacks effected through “market purchases” and “off-market purchases.” We effected these buybacks under “market purchase” resolutions; however, for purposes of the UK Companies Act, Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S is an overseas exchange, making it ineligible for buybacks conducted under the “market purchase” provisions. The cancellation of the affected treasury shares will not affect the rights attached to, or result in any other change to, any of our other shares (or their nominal value).

Our Shares

Class A common shares. Each outstanding Class A common share has (i) on a poll, one (1) vote on all matters at the general meeting (other than the election or removal of the Deputy Chairman), (ii) pre-emption rights upon any new issue of equity securities (including Class A common shares) for cash (unless otherwise provided by the UK Companies Act or our Articles of Association, or as disapplied by the relevant shareholders’ resolution) and (iii) the right to receive dividends, as well as liquidation proceeds and other distributions, that we may declare from time to time. The Class A common shares are not redeemable, either in full or in part.

Class B share. The one outstanding Class B share, par value $0.01, is held by a trustee on behalf of our minority shareholders (the Class A common shareholders other than Njord Luxco or its affiliates) pursuant to the terms of a minority trust deed, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the 2023 Form 20-F. The Class B share has (i) one vote at our general meetings, (ii) no pre-emptive subscription rights in relation to any issue of new shares of other classes and (iii) effectively carries no right to receive dividends, liquidation proceeds or other distributions from us. The holder of the Class B share has the right to elect one member to our Board of Directors (the Deputy Chairman) as well as appoint one Board Observer. Currently, David Weinstein serves as the Class B share elected director. The Class B share may not be transferred or pledged, except for a transfer to a replacement trustee or a redemption by us. The Class B share is required to be redeemed when the Class C share is redeemed. The trustee is required to exercise its rights as holder of the Class B share at the direction of such minority shareholders. Such minority shareholders are able to direct the trustee as the holder of the Class B share by responding to a directions request distributed to such minority shareholders in accordance with the terms of the minority trust deed.

Class C share. The one outstanding Class C share, par value $0.01, is held by Njord Luxco. The holder of the Class C share has 350,000,000 votes at our general meetings on specified matters, described below. Based on Njord Luxco’s share ownership as of the date of this prospectus of 40,581,120 Class A common shares and the Class C share, Njord Luxco has 390,581,120 votes.

The Class C share votes may only be cast on resolutions in respect of the appointment or removal of directors (excluding the Deputy Chairman) and certain amendments to the Articles of Association, proposed by the Board of Directors. The Class C share votes may not be cast on resolutions in respect of any amendments to certain reserved matters, as specified in our Articles of Association, (unless those reserved matters also constitute changes to our Articles of Association on which the Class C share is entitled to vote), pre-emptive rights of shareholders, rights attached to the Class B share and other minority protection rights provisions contained in our Articles of Association.

The Class C share has no pre-emption rights in relation to any issue of new shares of other classes and effectively carries no right to receive dividends, liquidation proceeds or other distributions from us. The Class C share may not be transferred or pledged, except to an affiliate of Njord Luxco or pursuant to redemption by us. The Class C will be automatically redeemed when Njord Luxco and its affiliates cease to beneficially own at least one third of our issued Class A common shares. The voting rights attached to the Class C share have the practical effect of allowing Njord Luxco to control the Board of Directors of TORM plc and to make amendments to the Articles of Association proposed by the Board of Directors, other than amendments to the minority protections. Even when Njord Luxco holds only a third of the issued Class A common shares, the votes cast by Njord Luxco would represent approximately 85.6% of the votes that may be cast on resolutions on which the Class C share may vote.

A total of 97,814,051 votes are attached to the Class A common shares. The Class B share and the Class C share have specific voting rights.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

The description of our Memorandum and Articles of Association is incorporated herein by reference to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, initially filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024 and thereafter amended, as updated by annual and other reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and which are incorporated by reference herein, together with our Memorandum and Articles of Association, a copy of which were filed as Exhibit 1.1 thereto.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may offer and issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, under one or more indentures, each dated as of a date on or prior to the issuance of the debt securities to which it relates, and pursuant to an applicable prospectus supplement. We may issue senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities pursuant to separate indentures, a senior indenture and a subordinated indenture, respectively, in each case between us and the trustee named in the indenture. These indentures will be filed either as exhibits to an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or as an exhibit to a report under the Exchange Act, that will be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or a prospectus supplement. We refer to any applicable prospectus supplement, amendment to the registration statement and/or Exchange Act report as “subsequent filings”. The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, are each referred to individually as an “indenture” and collectively as the “indentures.” Each indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles thereof relating to conflicts of law that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture (or post-effective amendment hereto). The aggregate principal amount of debt securities which may be issued under each indenture will contain the specific terms of any series of debt securities or provide that those terms must be set forth in or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution, as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement, and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series. Our debt securities may be convertible or exchangeable into any of our equity or other debt securities. The Company may also offer and issue “debt-like securities” as permitted under the U.S. securities laws, pursuant to an applicable prospectus supplement.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. The particular terms and provisions of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to the offered debt securities, will be described in the applicable subsequent filings. We refer to any applicable prospectus supplement, amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and reports we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act as “subsequent filings.” The statements below are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the applicable indenture. The specific terms of any debt securities that we may offer, including any modifications of, or additions to, the general terms described below as well as any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations concerning the ownership of such debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture and, as applicable, supplemental indenture. Accordingly, for a complete description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, the general description of the debt securities set forth below should be read in conjunction with the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

General

We expect that neither indenture will limit the amount of debt securities which may be issued. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series.

You should read the applicable indenture and subsequent filings relating to the particular series of debt securities for the following terms of the offered debt securities:

•

the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations;

•

the issue price, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount;

•

the maturity date;

•

the interest rate per annum, if any;

•

if the debt securities provide for interest payments, the date from which interest will accrue, the dates on which interest will be payable, the date on which payment of interest will commence and the regular record dates for interest payment dates;

•

any optional or mandatory sinking fund provisions or exchangeability provisions;

•

the terms and conditions upon which conversion of any convertible debt securities may be effected, including the conversion price, the conversion period and other conversion provisions;

•

whether the debt securities will be our senior or subordinated securities;

•

whether the debt securities will be our secured or unsecured obligations;

•

the applicability and terms of any guarantees;

•

the date, if any, after which and the price or prices at which the debt securities may be optionally redeemed or must be mandatorily redeemed and any other terms and provisions of optional or mandatory redemptions, including discharge and defeasance;

•

if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities of the series will be issuable;

•

if other than the full principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities of the series which will be payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy;

•

any events of default not set forth in this prospectus;

•

the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, in which principal, premium and interest will be payable, if other than the currency of the United States of America;

•

if principal, premium or interest is payable, at our election or at the election of any holder, in a currency other than that in which the debt securities of the series are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, the election may be made;

•

whether interest will be payable in cash or additional securities at our or the holder’s option and the terms and conditions upon which the election may be made;

•

if denominated in a currency or currencies other than the currency of the United States of America, the equivalent price in the currency of the United States of America for purposes of determining the voting rights of holders of those debt securities under the applicable indenture;

•

if the amount of payments of principal, premium or interest may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method based on a coin or currency other than that in which the debt securities of the series are stated to be payable, the manner in which the amounts will be determined;

•

any restrictive covenants or other material terms relating to the debt securities;

•

whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of global securities or certificates in registered form;

•

•

any other special features of the debt securities.

Subsequent filings may include additional terms not listed above. Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the SEC relating to the indenture, principal, premium and interest will be payable and the debt securities will be transferable at the corporate trust office of the applicable trustee. Unless other arrangements are made or set forth in subsequent filings or a supplemental indenture, principal, premium and interest will be paid by checks mailed to the registered holders at their registered addresses.

Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the SEC, the debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with these debt securities.

Some or all of the debt securities may be issued as discounted debt securities, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates, to be sold at a substantial discount below the stated principal amount. United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any discounted securities will be described in subsequent filings with the SEC relating to those securities.

We refer you to the applicable subsequent filings for the particular terms and provisions of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement.

Senior Debt Securities

We may issue senior debt securities, which may be secured or unsecured, under the senior debt indenture. The senior debt securities will rank on an equal basis with all our other senior debt except subordinated debt. The senior debt securities will be effectively subordinated, however, to all of our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. We will disclose the amount of our debt in the prospectus supplement.

Subordinated Debt Securities

We may issue subordinated debt securities under a subordinated debt indenture. These subordinated debt securities would rank subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Covenants

Any series of debt securities may have covenants in addition to or differing from those included in the applicable indenture which will be described in subsequent filings prepared in connection with the offering of such securities, limiting or restricting, among other things:

•

our ability to incur either secured or unsecured debt, or both;

•

our ability to make certain payments, dividends, redemptions or repurchases;

•

our ability to create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting our subsidiaries;

•

our ability to make investments;

•

mergers and consolidations by us or our subsidiaries;

•

sales of assets by us;

•

our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates;

•

our ability to incur liens;

•

sale and leaseback transactions; and

•

any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities of the series will be issuable.

Modification of the Indentures

We expect that each indenture and the rights of the respective holders may be modified by us only with the consent of holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series under the respective indenture affected by the modification, taken together as a class. But we expect that no modification that:

(1)

changes the amount of securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)

reduces the rate of or changes the interest payment time on any security or alters its redemption provisions (other than any alteration to any such section which would not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any holder under the indenture) or the price at which we are required to offer to purchase the securities;

(3)

reduces the principal or changes the maturity of any security or reduces the amount of, or postpones the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;

(4)

waives a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any security (except a rescission of acceleration of the securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5)

makes the principal of or interest, if any, on any security payable in any currency other than that stated in the security;

(6)

makes any change with respect to holders’ rights to receive principal and interest, the terms pursuant to which defaults can be waived, certain modifications affecting shareholders or certain currency-related issues; or

(7)

waives a redemption payment with respect to any security or changes any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any securities;

will be effective against any holder without his consent. Other terms as specified in subsequent filings may be modified without the consent of the holders.

Events of Default

We expect that each indenture will define an event of default for the debt securities of any series as being any one of the following events:

•

default in any payment of interest when due which continues for 30 days;

•

default in any payment of principal or premium at maturity;

•

default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due;

•

default in the performance of any covenant in the debt securities or the applicable indenture which continues for 60 days after we receive notice of the default;

•

default under a bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money by us or our subsidiaries (to the extent we are directly responsible or liable therefor) having a principal amount in excess of a minimum amount set forth in the applicable subsequent filings, whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or cured within 30 days after we receive notice of the default; and

•

events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

An event of default of one series of debt securities will not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities.

There may be such other or different events of default as described in an applicable subsequent filing with respect to any class or series of debt securities.

We expect that under each indenture, in case an event of default occurs and continues for the debt securities of any series, the applicable trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding of that series may declare the principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable. Further, any event of default for the debt securities of any series which has been cured is expected to be permitted to be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding.

We expect that each indenture will require us to file annually after debt securities are issued under that indenture with the applicable trustee a written statement signed by two of our officers as to the absence of material defaults under the terms of that indenture. We also expect that each indenture will provide that the applicable trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any default if it considers it in the interest of the holders to do so, except notice of a default in payment of principal, premium or interest.

Subject to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default occurs and continues, we expect that each indenture will provide that the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under that indenture at the request, order or direction of holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee indemnity and security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to these provisions for indemnification and the rights of the trustee, each indenture is expected to provide that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee as long as the exercise of that right does not conflict with any law or the indenture.

Defeasance and Discharge

The terms of each indenture are expected to provide us with the option to be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities issued thereunder upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money or U.S. government obligations, or both, which through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any installment of principal, premium and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities on the stated maturity of the payments in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture governing the debt securities. We expect that this right may only be exercised if, among other things, we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that such a discharge will not be deemed, or result in, a taxable event with respect to holders. This discharge would not apply to our obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities, to maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants

We expect that the terms of each indenture will provide us with the right to omit complying with specified covenants and specified events of default described in a subsequent filing upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money or U.S. government obligations, or both, which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any installment of principal, premium, and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities on the stated maturity of the payments in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture governing the debt securities.

We expect that to exercise this right, we will also be required to deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related covenant defeasance should not cause the holders of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

A subsequent filing may further describe the provisions, if any, of any particular series of offed debt securities permitted a discharge defeasance.

Form of Debt Securities

Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Both certificated securities in definitive form and global securities may be issued either in registered form, where our obligation runs to the holder of the security named on the face of the security, or in bearer form, where our obligation runs to the bearer of the security.

Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, other than definitive bearer securities, which name the bearer as owner, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable.

Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities represented by these global securities, other than global bearer securities, which name the bearer as owner. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

We may issue the debt securities in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees. If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements:

Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or selling agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities. So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture.

Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be

entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest in that registered global security, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders of a registered global security or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of us, the trustee or any other agent of us or agent of the trustee will have any responsibility or liability to owners of beneficial interests for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

We expect that the indenture will provide that if the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will be required to issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. In addition, the indenture is expected to allow us to decide, at any time and in our sole discretion, to not have any of the securities represented by one or more registered global securities. If we make that decision, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for all of the registered global security or securities representing those securities. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

In the event that the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, acts as depository for the global securities of any series, the global securities will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants to purchase our debt or equity securities or securities of third parties or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

•

the title of such warrants;

•

the aggregate number of such warrants;

•

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

•

the currency or currencies, in which the price of such warrants will be payable;

•

the securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing, purchasable upon exercise of such warrants;

•

the price at which, and the currency or currencies in which, the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

•

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

•

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be exercised at any one time;

•

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security;

•

if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

•

information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

•

if applicable, a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

•

any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:

•

debt or equity securities issued by us, a basket of such securities, an index or indices of such securities, or any combination of the above, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; or

•

currencies.

Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities or currencies at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities or currencies and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions, provisions relating to U.S. federal income tax considerations, if any, or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.

The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and those payments may be unsecured or pre-funded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under either a senior indenture or subordinated indenture.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase our equity securities. These rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered by this prospectus and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the rights in the rights offering. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which the underwriter will purchase any securities that remain unsubscribed for upon completion of the rights offering.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any rights will describe the terms of the offered rights, including, where applicable, the following:

•

the exercise price for the rights;

•

the number of rights issued to each shareholder;

•

the extent to which the rights are transferable;

•

any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the rights;

•

the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the right will expire;

•

the amount of rights outstanding;

•

the extent to which the rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and

•

the material terms of any standby underwriting arrangement entered into by us in connection with the rights offering.

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable rights certificate or rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any rights certificate or rights agreement if we offer rights, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” of this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable rights certificate, the applicable rights agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more of our rights, purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares, common shares or any combination of such securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the offered units. We expect that such terms will include, among others:

•

the terms of the units and of the rights, purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares and common shares comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;

•

a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective investors in certain of the securities offered hereunder and, unless otherwise noted in the discussion, is the opinion of Seward & Kissel, LLP, our United States counsel, insofar as it contains legal conclusions with respect to matters of United States federal income tax law. The opinion of our counsel is dependent on the accuracy of factual representations made by us to them, including descriptions of our operations contained herein. A summary of material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to our debt securities and certain other securities will be provided in a supplemental prospectus.

This discussion does not purport to deal with the tax consequences of owning the securities offered under this prospectus relevant to all categories of investors, some of which, such as banks, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, investors that are or own the offered securities through partnerships or other pass-through entities, investors that own, actually or under applicable constructive ownership rules, 10% or more of our equity, persons that will hold the offered securities as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle” or “conversion transaction,” persons who are deemed to sell the offered securities under constructive sale rules, persons required to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than the taxable year in which such income is included on an “applicable financial statement” and persons who are liable for the alternative minimum tax may be subject to special rules. The following discussion of United States federal income tax matters is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposed regulations issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, or the Treasury Regulations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this prospectus, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local, or any U.S. federal tax considerations other than income taxation, such as estate or gift taxation or unearned income Medicare contribution taxation. This discussion deals only with holders who purchase securities in connection with this offering and hold such securities as a capital asset. The discussion below is based, in part, on the description of our business as described in this prospectus and assumes that we conduct our business as described in this prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, references in the following discussion to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” are to TORM plc and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

United States Federal Income Taxation of the Company

Taxation of Operating Income: In General

We anticipate that substantially all of our gross income will be derived from the use and operation of vessels in international commerce, and that this income will principally consist of freights from the transportation of cargos, hire or lease income from voyage or time charters and the performance of services directly related thereto, which we refer to as “shipping income”. Unless exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under Section 883 of the Code, under Article 8 of the U.S.-United Kingdom Income Tax Treaty or under Article 8 of the U.S.-Denmark Income Tax Treaty, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation, in the manner discussed below, to the extent our shipping income is considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be derived from sources within the United States.

Shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end in the United States, will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be 50% derived from sources within the United States. Shipping income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the United States will be considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United States. We are not permitted by law to engage in transportation that gives rise to 100% U.S. source shipping income.

Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. ports will be considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Shipping income derived from sources outside the United States will not be subject to any U.S. federal income tax.

We do not expect that we or our subsidiaries to qualify for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code, although we and our subsidiaries may qualify in the future if there is a change in our capital structure. See below for a discussion of the requirements for qualification under Section 883.

We and/or one or more of our subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “we” for purposes of this paragraph) may qualify for exemption from tax under the terms of the U.S.-United Kingdom Income Tax Treaty or U.S.-Denmark Income Tax Treaty. Whether we so qualify depends, among other things, on whether we satisfy the Limitation on Benefits article of the applicable U.S. income tax treaty. In particular, we would generally satisfy the Limitation on Benefits article if we can establish that we are engaged in the active conduct of a trade or business in the United Kingdom or Denmark, whichever is applicable, our U.S. source shipping income is derived in connection with, or is incidental to, such trade or business, and such trade or business activity in the applicable treaty jurisdiction is substantial in relation to our trade or business activity in the United States. Additionally, we may also be able to satisfy the Limitation on Benefits article of the U.S.-Denmark Income Tax Treaty if we can establish that our principal class of shares is regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange, such as Nasdaq Copenhagen, and either (i) primarily traded on a recognized stock exchange located in Denmark, or (ii) our primary place of management and control is in Denmark, our country of residence. For this purpose, our Class A common shares would generally be considered our primary class of shares if the Class A common shares represent more than 50% of the voting power and value of the Company. Additionally for this purpose, our Class A common shares would be treated as regularly traded if the Class A common shares are traded in more than de minimis quantities each quarter, and if the aggregate number of Class A common shares traded during the prior taxable year is at least 6% of the average number of Class A common shares during such prior taxable year. Given the legal and factual uncertainties in making the foregoing determination, there can be no assurance that we will qualify for exemption from tax under a U.S. federal income tax treaty, or that the IRS or a court of law will agree with our determination in this regard.

Exemption Under Section 883 of the Code

Under Section 883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or “Section 883,” we and each of our subsidiaries that derives U.S. source shipping income will qualify for exemption from U.S. federal income tax under Section 883 in respect of such shipping income if, in relevant part:

•

we and each such subsidiary is organized in a “qualified foreign country” which, as defined, is a foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption from tax to corporations organized in the United States in respect of the shipping income for which exemption is being claimed under Section 883, which we refer to as the “country of organization requirement”; and either

•

more than 50% of the value of our stock is owned actually or constructively under specified attribution rules by “qualified shareholders” (which as defined includes, among other things, individuals who are “residents” of qualified foreign countries and corporations that are organized in qualified foreign countries and meet the Publicly-Traded Test discussed immediately below), which we refer to as the “50% Ownership Test,” or

•

our stock is “primarily” and “regularly” traded on an “established securities market” in our country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to U.S. corporations or in the United States, which we refer to as the “Publicly-Traded Test”.

As the IRS has recognized the United Kingdom, our country of incorporation, and each of the countries of incorporation of our subsidiaries, including Denmark, as a qualified foreign country in respect of the shipping income for which exemption is being claimed under Section 883, we and each of our subsidiaries satisfy the country of organization requirement. Therefore, each of our subsidiaries will be exempt from U.S. federal

income tax with respect to our U.S. source shipping income if we satisfy either the “50% Ownership Test” or the “Publicly-Traded Test” and certain substantiation and reporting requirements are met, thereby allowing each of our subsidiaries to satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. We do not anticipate to satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. Our ability to satisfy the Publicly-Traded Test is discussed below, and if we satisfy the Publicly-Traded Test, each of our subsidiaries can satisfy the 50% Ownership Test since each would be owned by a qualified shareholder for such purposes.

The Treasury Regulations provide, in pertinent part, that a class of stock of a foreign corporation will be considered to be “primarily traded” on an established securities market in a country (such as Nasdaq Copenhagen) if the exchange is designated under a Limitations on Benefits article in a United States income tax treaty, and if the number of shares of such class of stock that are traded during any taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares of such class that are traded during that taxable year on established securities markets in any other single country. Currently, our shares are primarily traded on Nasdaq Copenhagen for purposes of the “primarily traded” test, although this may change in future years.

The Treasury Regulations provide further that stock of a foreign corporation will be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market only if: (i) one or more classes of stock of the corporation that, in the aggregate, represents more than 50% of the stock of the corporation, by voting power and value, is listed on such established securities market, (ii) each such class of stock is traded on such established securities market, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year, and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of such stock traded on such established securities market is at least 10% of the average number of shares of such stock outstanding during such taxable year. Even if this were not the case, the Treasury Regulations provide that the trading frequency and trading volume tests will be deemed satisfied with respect to a class of stock that is traded on an established securities market in the United States if such stock is regularly quoted by dealers making a market in such stock. Although we have a class of stock that is listed on the Nasdaq New York, an established securities market in the United States, we do not anticipate satisfying the requirement that our stock be “regularly traded” on an established securities market under the quantitative testing rules.

Even if our common stock was considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market, the Treasury Regulations provide, in pertinent part, that a class of stock of a foreign corporation will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class of stock are owned, within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations, on more than half the days during such taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class of stock, which persons we refer to as “5% shareholders” and the rule as the “5% override rule”.

For purposes of identifying our 5% shareholders, we are permitted to rely on Schedule 13G and Schedule 13D filings with the SEC. Even if our stock was considered “regularly traded” on an established securities market, we believe the 5% override rule would have been triggered and that we would not be able to rely on Section 883 for exemption from United States federal income taxation on our U.S. source shipping income.

Therefore, if we cannot qualify for benefits under an applicable U.S. income tax treaty, we would be subject to United States taxation on our U.S. source shipping income. We intend to take the position that we qualify for benefits of the U.S.-U.K. income tax treaty for purposes of Section 883. Therefore, we expect to be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation on U.S. source shipping income.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation in the Absence of Section 883 or Treaty Exemption

4% Gross Basis Tax Regime. To the extent the benefits of Section 883 or an applicable U.S. income tax treaty are unavailable, our U.S. source shipping income which is not considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as discussed below, would be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions, which we refer to as

the “4% gross basis tax regime”. As under the sourcing rules described above, no more than 50% of our shipping income would be treated as derived from U.S. sources, the maximum effective rate of U.S. federal income tax on our shipping income should never exceed 2% under the 4% gross basis tax regime.

Net Basis and Branch Tax Regimes. To the extent the benefits of Section 883 or an applicable U.S. income tax treaty are unavailable and the U.S. source shipping income of a subsidiary is considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as discussed below, any such “effectively connected” U.S. source shipping income, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to the U.S. federal income tax currently imposed at the corporate rate of 21%. In addition, such subsidiary may be subject to the U.S. branch profits tax, at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be provided by an applicable U.S. income tax treaty, on earnings “effectively connected” with the conduct of such U.S. trade or business, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of a relevant subsidiary’s U.S. trade or business

U.S. source shipping income will be considered “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business only if:

•

we have, or are considered to have, a fixed place of business in the United States involved in the earning of shipping income; and

•

substantially all of our U.S. source shipping income is attributable to regularly scheduled transportation, such as the operation of a vessel that follows a published schedule with repeated sailings at regular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the United States.

We do not intend to have, or permit circumstances that would result in having, substantially all of our U.S. source shipping income be attributable to regularly scheduled transportation. Based on the foregoing and on the expected mode of our shipping operations, we expect that none of our U.S. source shipping income will be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

U.S. Taxation of Gain on Sale of Vessels.

Regardless of whether we qualify for exemption under Section 883 of the Code or the applicable U.S. income tax treaty, we do not expect to be subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to gain realized on a sale of a vessel, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of the United States under U.S. federal income tax principles. In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the United States for this purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the United States. It is expected that any sale of a vessel by us will be considered to occur outside of the United States.

U.S. Tonnage Tax Regime

TORM Tanker Corporation has elected to be treated under the tonnage tax regime in the U.S. with respect to its income derived from qualifying shipping activities based on the net tonnage of the corporation’s qualifying U.S. flagged vessels.

Pursuant to this regime, TORM’s vessel-owning corporation in the U.S. will be subject to U.S. tax based predominantly upon the net tonnage of the vessels rather than income generated from operating the vessels (i.e., operating income). Based upon the net tonnage of our current U.S. vessels and the applicable rate of taxation, our U.S. subsidiary is expected to be liable for approximately $13,000 of U.S. tonnage tax for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In the event that tonnage tax schemes or other tax laws are changed in the future, our overall tax burden could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares that is a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. corporation or other U.S. entity taxable as a corporation, an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership holds our common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding our common shares, you are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor.

Distributions

Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies below, any distributions made by us with respect to our common shares to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Dividends paid with respect to our common shares to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, trust or estate, which we refer to as a “U.S. Individual Holder”, may be eligible for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates provided that (1) we are a “qualified foreign corporation”, (2) the U.S. Individual Holder has owned our common shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which our common shares become ex-dividend, (3) we are not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year of the dividend or the immediately preceding taxable year (which we do not believe we are, have been or will be) and (4) the U.S. Individual Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.

We will be treated as a “qualified foreign corporation” if we qualify for benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, such as the U.S.-U.K. Income Tax Treaty or the U.S.-Denmark Income Tax Treaty, or if our common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. We believe we qualify for the benefits of the U.S.-U.K. Income Tax Treaty or the U.S.-Denmark Income Tax Treaty, both of which are comprehensive income tax treaties, and our common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States because they are listed on Nasdaq New York. Therefore, we believe that any dividends paid by us to a U.S. Individual Holder on our common shares are eligible for these preferential rates. Any dividends paid by us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common shares on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations will generally not be entitled to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. Dividends paid on our common shares will generally be treated as “passive category income” or, in the case of certain types of U.S. Holders, “general category income”, for purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend” — generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a shareholder’s adjusted basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) or dividends received within a one-year period that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed 20% of a shareholder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value upon the shareholder’s election) in a share of our common stock — paid by us. If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common shares that is treated as “qualified dividend income”, then any loss derived by a non-corporate U.S. holder from the sale or exchange of such common shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend.

Dividends will be generally included in the income of U.S. Holders at the U.S. dollar amount of the dividend (including any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom), based upon the exchange rate in effect on the date of the distribution. In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed U.S. $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip or as an expense for the production of income).

Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Our Common Shares

Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment company status below, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares generally will be the U.S. Holder’s purchase price for the common shares, reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any distribution on such common shares that was treated as a nontaxable return of capital to such U.S. Holder. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the common shares is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Such capital gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S.-source income or loss, as applicable, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

If the sale of our common shares is subject to withholding or other foreign taxes, such as a non-resident capital withholding tax, it is possible that the foreign taxes may not be creditable, but instead be deductible if the taxpayer itemizes his or her deductions. Investors should consult their tax advisors in this regard.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status and Significant U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock in a foreign corporation classified as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC”, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. shareholder in such foreign corporation if, for any taxable year in which such shareholder holds stock in such foreign corporation, either:

•

at least 75% of the corporation’s gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (for example dividends, interest, capital gains and rents derived from other than in the active conduct of a rental business), or

•

at least 50% of the average value of the assets held by the corporation during such taxable year produces, or is held for the production of, passive income, which we refer to as “passive assets”.

For purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, cash will generally be treated as an asset held for the production of passive income. Income earned or deemed earned by us in connection with the performance of services would not constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income would generally constitute passive income unless we are treated under specific rules as deriving the rental income in the active conduct of a rental business. Also, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and as receiving directly our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own at least 25% by value of the stock of such corporation.

Based on our current operations and future projections, we do not believe that we are, nor do we expect to become, a PFIC with respect to any taxable year. Although there is no legal authority directly on point, our belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we

derive or are deemed to derive from the time chartering and voyage chartering activities of us and our subsidiaries should constitute active income from the performance of services rather than passive, rental income. Correspondingly, such income should not constitute passive income, and the assets that we or our subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the production of such income, in particular the vessels, should not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. We anticipate that substantially all of our gross income will be derived from time and voyage charters and the performance of services directly related thereto, and that substantially all of the vessels in our fleet will be engaged in such activities.

We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of the Code, legislative history, case law and IRS pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, there is no direct legal authority under the PFIC rules addressing our specific method of operation, and there is authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. In the absence of any legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, the IRS or a court could disagree with our position. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, we cannot assure that the nature or extent of our operations, or the composition of our income or assets, will not change and that we will not become a PFIC in the future.

As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different U.S. federal income taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund”, which election we refer to as a “QEF election”. As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common shares, as discussed below.

If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would also be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules in respect of such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our subsidiaries that are also treated as PFICs. Such a U.S. Holder would be permitted to make a QEF election in respect of any such subsidiary, as long as we timely provide the information necessary for such election, which we currently intend to do in such circumstances, but such a U.S. Holder would not be permitted to make a mark-to-market election in respect of such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any such subsidiary. In addition, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, and a U.S. Holder actually or constructively own common shares that exceed certain thresholds, a U.S. Holder would be required to file a Form 8621 with its U.S. federal income tax return for that year with respect to such Holder’s common shares. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file a Form 8621, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Also, in the event that a U.S. Holder is required to file a Form 8621 and does not do so, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes for such person for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the Form 8621 is filed. The application of the PFIC rules is complicated, and U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the application of such rules in their circumstances.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election

If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election, which U.S. Holder we refer to as an “Electing Holder”, the Electing Holder must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes his pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not distributions were received by the Electing Holder with respect to its commons shares. No portion of such inclusions of ordinary earnings will be entitled to the preferential U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to certain dividends discussed above. Net capital gain inclusions of certain non-corporate U.S. holders may be eligible for preferential capital gains rates. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in the common shares and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would not, however, be entitled to a deduction for its pro rata share of any losses that we incur with respect to any taxable year. An

Electing Holder can generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares. A U.S. Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any taxable year that our company is a PFIC by filing an IRS Form 8621 with his U.S. federal income tax return. If we became aware that we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, we would provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make the QEF election described above. A U.S. Holder who is treated as constructively owning shares in any of our subsidiaries which are treated as PFICs would be required to make a separate QEF election with respect to each such subsidiary when we are a PFIC.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election

Alternatively, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and our common shares are treated as “marketable stock”, as we believe will be the case, a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common shares, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files an IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder would generally include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares at the end of the taxable year over such Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares over its fair value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common shares would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the U.S. Holder. A mark-to-market election would likely not be available for any of our subsidiaries that are treated as PFICs, nor would such election be available with respect to our warrants.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election

Finally, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder who does not make either a QEF election or a “mark-to-market” election for that year, whom we refer to as a “Non-Electing Holder,” would be subject to special rules with respect to (1) any excess distribution (i.e. the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on our common shares in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for the common shares) and (2) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares. Under these special rules:

•

the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for the common shares;

•

the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income and would not be entitled to the preferential U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to certain dividends discussed above; and

•

the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed tax deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

These adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences would not apply to a pension or profit sharing trust or other tax-exempt organization that did not borrow funds or otherwise utilize leverage in connection with its acquisition of our common shares. If a Non-Electing Holder who is an individual dies while owning our common shares, such Holder’s successor would generally not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such common shares.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of “Non-U.S. Holders”

A beneficial owner of our common shares that is not a U.S. Holder (and not an entity treated as a partnership) is referred to herein as a “Non-U.S. Holder”.

Distributions

Non-U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on dividends received with respect to our common shares, unless the dividends are “effectively connected” with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if the Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an applicable U.S. income tax treaty with respect to those dividends, those dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares

Non-U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares unless: (i) the gain is “effectively connected” with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if the Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the benefits of an applicable U.S. income tax treaty with respect to that gain, that gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States or (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of disposition and other conditions are met.

If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a U.S. trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the income from the common shares, including dividends on the underlying common shares and the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares that is “effectively connected” with the conduct of that U.S. trade or business, will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as discussed in the previous section relating to the U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. Holders. In addition, in the case of a corporate Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder’s earnings and profits that are attributable to the “effectively connected” income, subject to certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional U.S. federal branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable U.S. income tax treaty.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, dividend payments, or other taxable distributions, and payment of the gross proceeds on a sale or other disposition of our common shares, made within the United States to you will be subject to information reporting requirements. In addition, such payments will be subject to “backup withholding” if you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder and you:

•

fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

•

are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on your U.S. federal income tax returns; or

•

in certain circumstances, fail to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding by certifying their status on an appropriate IRS Form W-8.

If you sell your common shares to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment of the proceeds is subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless you certify that you are a non-U.S. person, under penalties of perjury, or you otherwise establish an exemption. If you sell your common shares through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to you outside the United States, then information reporting and backup withholding will generally not apply to that payment. However, U.S.

information reporting requirements, but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, including a payment made to you outside the United States, if you sell your common shares through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a U.S. person or has some other contacts with the United States.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, you may generally obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under backup withholding rules that exceed your U.S. federal income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

Individuals who are U.S. Holders (and to the extent specified in the applicable Treasury Regulations, certain individuals who are Non-U.S. Holders and certain U.S. entities) who hold “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) are required to file an IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with information relating to each such asset for each taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file an IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Additionally, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income tax with respect to a taxable year for which the filing of an IRS Form 8938 is required may not close until three years after the date on which the IRS Form 8938 is filed. Specified foreign financial assets would generally include our common shares, unless the common shares are held in an account maintained by a U.S. “financial institution” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code). U.S. Holders (including U.S. entities) and Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations under Section 6038D of the Code.

Danish Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain Danish tax considerations relating to an investment in TORM plc, based upon the opinion of Bech-Bruun, our counsel as to matters of Danish tax law. The summary describes the Danish tax implications pertaining to dividends paid from TORM A/S to TORM plc, and a sale of Class A common shares by TORM plc.

The summary does not purport to constitute exhaustive tax or legal advice. It is specifically to be noted that the summary does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the shares of TORM plc. The summary is based solely upon the tax laws of Denmark in effect on the date of this prospectus. Danish tax laws may be subject to changes, possibly with retroactive effect.

Changes in Global Tax Laws

Long-standing international tax initiatives that determine each country’s jurisdiction to tax cross-border international trade and profits are evolving as a result of, among other things, initiatives such as the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives, as well as the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reporting requirements, mandated and/or recommended by the EU, G8, G20 and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, including the imposition of a minimum global effective tax rate for multinational businesses regardless of the jurisdiction of operation and where profits are generated (Pillar Two). As these and other tax laws and related regulations change (including changes in the interpretation, approach and guidance of tax authorities), our financial results could be materially impacted. Given the unpredictability of these possible changes and their potential interdependency, it is difficult to assess whether the overall effect of such potential tax changes would be cumulatively positive or negative for our earnings and cash flow, but such changes could adversely affect our financial results.

On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues of at least €750 million effective from 2024. Various countries, including the United Kingdom, have either adopted implementing legislation or are in the process of drafting such legislation. Any new tax law in a jurisdiction where we conduct business or pay tax could have a negative effect on our company.

Sale of Class A common shares by TORM plc

Shareholders not resident in Denmark will normally not be subject to Danish tax on gains realized on the sale of shares, irrespective of the ownership period and equity interest. However, Danish anti-avoidance rules should be observed as these rules may, if certain conditions are met, result in a requalification of tax-exempt capital gains into dividends, which could trigger Danish withholding taxes. These rules could apply in a number of situations, such as in connection with a related party sale of shares against cash and in unrelated third-party transactions in connection with the transfer of shares to a new holding company (controlled by a third party) against shares and cash. For example, this could be the case, if dividends from TORM A/S cannot be received tax exempt by TORM plc. The rules should only apply to intra-group transactions as well as situations where TORM plc or a group-related company receives an ownership share in the group acquiring the shares in TORM A/S.

Dividends distributed to the holders of Class A common shares of TORM A/S to TORM plc

Under Danish tax law, dividends paid on shares in a Danish company to a foreign company are normally subject to dividend withholding tax of 27%. However, the foreign company receiving the dividends will as a main rule be subject to a final Danish withholding tax of 22% provided the recipient files certain documentation and reclaims the excess tax from the Danish tax authorities.

Dividends paid on shares in a Danish company are as a starting point exempt from Danish withholding tax when the foreign receiving company owns at least 10% of the Danish distributing company, the foreign receiving company is tax resident in a state which has a tax treaty with Denmark, or is covered by the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Danish taxation should be reduced or eliminated in accordance with a tax treaty or the Parent-Subsidiary Directive between Denmark and the state in which the receiving company is domiciled.

When considering whether a tax treaty or the Parent-Subsidiary Directive can be applied (thereby enabling exemption from Danish withholding taxes on dividend distributions), the Danish tax authorities do consider a number of other criteria, including whether the foreign receiving company is the beneficial owner, and whether the structure can be challenged based on general anti-avoidance rules introduced in 2015, as subsequently amended.

In recent years, the Danish tax authorities have focused on the issue of beneficial ownership, with a number cases being decided by the Danish Supreme Court on how the term “beneficial ownership” should be determined. The courts and the Danish tax authorities are, in their approach, not specifically focused on substance but are generally focusing on actual flows of funds. Consequently, the Danish tax authorities might, depending on the specific flow of funds, treat even intermediary non-Danish holding companies that have significant substance as conduit companies for Danish tax purposes. During a potential audit, the Danish tax authorities are, therefore, likely to assess the beneficial ownership based on whether dividends received by an intermediary holding company from a Danish entity have been re-routed up the ownership chain as e.g., dividends, interest or other contributions or considerations (i.e., the character of the funds flow is not necessarily a primary concern). If these conditions for exemption are not fulfilled, Danish withholding tax of 27% (potentially reduced to 22%) will be triggered on such dividend distributions from TORM A/S.

If these conditions for exemption are not fulfilled, Danish withholding tax of 27% (potentially reduced to 22%) will be triggered on such dividend distributions from TORM A/S.

Share transfer tax and stamp duties

No Danish share transfer tax or stamp duties are payable on direct or indirect transfer of the shares of TORM A/S.

The Danish Tax Authorities may challenge whether TORM plc is entitled to Danish withholding tax exemption on dividends from TORM A/S.

TORM plc is a tax resident of the United Kingdom and owns 100% of the shares of TORM A/S and should be entitled to the benefit of the double tax treaty entered into between Denmark and the United Kingdom. The double tax treaty reduces dividend withholding tax to nil for wholly-owned subsidiaries (where the relevant conditions are satisfied). In order for the double tax treaty to apply, TORM plc must be considered the beneficial owner of the dividends and must not be subject to Danish anti-abuse rules.

The Danish tax authorities have, in a binding ruling from May 2024, confirmed that a non-Danish holding company, located in a state with whom Denmark has a double tax treaty, was the beneficial owner of a dividend distribution from a Danish subsidiary. In their ruling, the Danish tax authorities emphasized that the dividend received was not in any way determined or pre-determined to be distributed further up the chain from the non-Danish company.

We believe that the group structure, the level of business activity carried out in the United Kingdom by TORM plc, the economic risk of TORM plc and TORM plc’s right to dispose of dividends received and that no part of the dividend from TORM A/S to TORM plc is pre-determined to be distributed up the chain from TORM plc, justify that TORM plc is the beneficial owner of dividends received from TORM A/S, that TORM plc is not a conduit entity and that Danish anti-abuse rules should not apply.

Consequently, we believe that dividends distributed from TORM A/S to TORM plc should be exempt from Danish dividend withholding tax according to the double tax treaty entered into between Denmark and the United Kingdom (so long as a claim is made and the treaty relief is granted). If all of the applicable conditions in the double tax treaty between the United Kingdom and Denmark are not fulfilled, Danish withholding taxes of 27% (potentially reduced to 22%) will be triggered on such dividend distributions.

United Kingdom Tax Considerations

The following discussion is based upon the opinion of Watson Farley & Williams LLP, our counsel as to matters of the taxation laws of the United Kingdom. The following statements do not constitute tax advice and are intended only as a general guide to current United Kingdom law and HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) published practice, which may not be binding on HMRC, as of the date of this document (which are both subject to change at any time, possibly with retrospective effect). They relate only to certain limited aspects of the United Kingdom tax treatment of the beneficial owners of the Class A common shares. They are intended to apply only to shareholders who are resident only in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes (unless the context requires otherwise) and, if individuals, who are domiciled in the United Kingdom and to whom split-year treatment does not apply. The statements below only relate to persons who are and will be the absolute beneficial owners of the Class A common shares and who hold, and will hold, the Class A common shares through the Depository Trust Company as investments (and not as securities to be realized in the course of a trade). The statements below are not exhaustive and may not apply to certain shareholders, such as dealers in securities, broker dealers, insurance companies and collective investment schemes, shareholders who are exempt from taxation, shareholders who hold their shares through an Individual Savings Account or a Self-Invested Personal Pension and shareholders who have (or are deemed to have) acquired the Class A common shares by virtue of an office or employment. Such persons may be subject to special rules. This summary does not address any inheritance tax considerations.

Prospective purchasers of the Class A common shares who are in any doubt as to their tax position should consult an appropriate professional adviser.

Taxation of Dividends

General

TORM plc is not required to make any withholding or deduction for or on account of United Kingdom tax in respect of dividends on the Class A common shares, irrespective of whether the shareholder receiving the dividend is resident in or outside the United Kingdom.

Individual Shareholders

United Kingdom resident individual Shareholders may be subject to income tax on dividends they receive from the Company. The first £500 of dividend income that the United Kingdom resident individuals receive in each tax year is taxed at a rate of 0% (the “Nil Rate Amount”).

Dividend income that is within the Nil Rate Amount counts towards an individual’s basic or higher rate limits – and will therefore affect the taxation of other income received and any capital gains realized by the individual in the tax year. It may also affect the level of savings allowance to which they are entitled. In calculating into which tax band any dividend income over the Nil Rate Amount falls, dividend income is treated as the “top slice” of an individual’s income.

Any dividend income received by a United Kingdom resident individual Shareholder in excess of the Nil Rate Amount will be subject to income tax at a rate of 8.75%, to the extent that it is within the basic rate band, 33.75%, to the extent that it is within the higher rate band and 39.35%, to the extent that it is within the additional rate band.

Corporate Shareholders

Shareholders within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax which are “small companies” (for the purposes of United Kingdom taxation of dividends) will generally not expect to be subject to tax on dividends from the Company. A “small company” for the purposes of United Kingdom taxation of dividends means broadly a company that is a micro or small enterprise as defined in the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of May 6, 2003 subject to certain exceptions.

Other shareholders within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax will not be subject to tax on dividends from the Company as long as the dividends fall within an exempt class and certain conditions are met. For example: dividends paid to companies holding less than 10% of the issued share capital of the payer (or any class of that share capital, which here refers to the Class A common shares) are generally dividends that fall within an exemption in respect of “portfolio holdings” (subject to other conditions being met and the application of relevant anti-avoidance rules). Other exemptions may also apply (subject to the applications of relevant anti-avoidance rules).

Shareholders Resident outside the United Kingdom

Where a shareholder resident for tax purposes outside the United Kingdom carries on a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom and the dividends are a receipt of that trade or, in the case of corporation tax, the Class A common shares are held by or for a United Kingdom permanent establishment through which a trade is carried on, the shareholder may be liable to United Kingdom tax on dividends paid by the Company.

Taxation of Chargeable Gains

Individual Shareholders

A disposal of the Class A common shares may give rise to a chargeable gain (or allowable loss) for the purposes of United Kingdom capital gains tax, depending on the circumstances and subject to any available

exemption or relief. The rate of capital gains tax in respect of shareholdings is 18% for individuals who are subject to income tax at the basic rate and 24% to the extent that an individual’s chargeable gains, when aggregated with his or her income chargeable to income tax, exceed the basic rate band for income tax purposes. An individual shareholder is entitled to realize an exempt amount of gains (£3,000 in the 2024/25 tax year) in each tax year without being liable to tax.

A shareholder who is an individual and who has ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom for taxation purposes (or has become treated as resident outside the United Kingdom for the purposes of a double tax treaty (‘‘Treaty non-resident’’)) for a period of five tax years or shorter, and who disposes of the Class A common shares during that period may in some circumstances also be liable, on his or her return to the United Kingdom, to United Kingdom capital gains tax on that gain, subject to any available exemptions or reliefs.

Corporate Shareholders

Where a shareholder is within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax, including cases where it is not resident (for tax purposes) in the United Kingdom, a disposal of the Class A common shares may give rise to a chargeable gain (or allowable loss) for the purposes of United Kingdom corporation tax at (typically) a rate of 25% (though some companies pay different rates), depending on the circumstances and subject to any available exemption or relief. Indexation allowance may reduce the amount of chargeable gain on shares obtained prior to 2018, but may not create or increase any allowable loss. Special rules may apply to match disposals with multiple acquisitions of the Class A common shares.

Shareholders Resident outside the United Kingdom

A shareholder that is not resident in the United Kingdom (and, in the case of an individual, is not temporarily non-resident) for United Kingdom tax purposes, and whose Class A common shares are not held in connection with carrying on a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom will generally not be subject to United Kingdom tax on chargeable gains on the disposal of the Class A common shares.

Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”)

The comments in this section relating to stamp duty and SDRT apply whether or not a shareholder is resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom. Special rules may apply to shareholders such as market makers, brokers, dealers and intermediaries.

Following the European Court of Justice decision in HSBC Holdings Plc and Vidacos Nominees Ltd v The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (C-569/07) and the First-tier Tax Tribunal decision in HSBC Holdings Plc and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation v The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (TC/2009/16584), HMRC has confirmed that 1.5% SDRT is no longer payable on new shares issued into a clearance service or depositary receipt system, nor on transfers to a clearance service or depositary receipt system where such transfers are integral to the raising of new capital. Following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, the United Kingdom government amended the relevant sections of the Finance Act 1986, as part of the Finance Act 2024, in order to prevent the 1.5% charge from taking effect when depositary receipts are issued or transferred as part of qualifying arrangements to raise new capital. We recommend that advice is sought before any payment of the 1.5% charge is made.

No stamp duty should be payable on the acquisition or transfer of the beneficial ownership of the Class A common shares held by a nominee for a person whose business is or includes the provision of clearance services where that acquisition or transfer is settled within the clearance service and there is no physical instrument of transfer. An agreement for the transfer of such Class A common shares should also not give rise to a SDRT liability, provided that no election has been made under section 97A of the United Kingdom Finance Act 1986 which is applicable to such Class A common shares. We understand that no such election has been made by the Depository Trust Company as with respect to the Class A common shares.

Any instrument of transfer of the Class A common shares that are not held by a nominee for a person whose business is or includes the provision of clearance services will generally attract stamp duty at a rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration for the transfer (rounded up, if necessary, to the next multiple of £5). No stamp duty is chargeable on an instrument transferring shares where the amount or value of the consideration is £1,000 or less, and it is certified on the instrument that the transaction effected by the instrument does not form part of a larger transaction or series of transactions for which the aggregate consideration exceeds £1,000. An unconditional agreement for such transfer, or a conditional agreement which subsequently becomes unconditional, will also generally be liable to SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration for the transfer, but such liability will be cancelled if the agreement is completed by a duly stamped instrument of transfer within six years of the date of the agreement, or if the agreement was conditional, the date the agreement became unconditional. Where stamp duty is paid, any SDRT previously paid should be repaid on the making of an appropriate claim generally with interest.

Therefore, a transfer of title in the Class A common shares or an agreement to transfer such shares from within the Depository Trust Company system out of the Depository Trust Company system, and any subsequent transfers or agreements to transfer outside the Depository Trust Company system, will generally attract a charge to United Kingdom stamp duty and/or United Kingdom SDRT at a rate of 0.5% of any consideration. Shareholders should note in particular that a redeposit of the Class A common shares into the Depository Trust Company system, including by means of a transfer into a depositary receipt system, will generally attract United Kingdom stamp duty and/or United Kingdom SDRT at the higher rate of 1.5%.

United Kingdom Tonnage Tax Regime

Each of TORM plc and TORM VesselCo UK Ltd. have elected to be subject to the tonnage tax regime in the United Kingdom with respect to its income derived from qualifying shipping activities based on the net tonnage of the Group’s qualifying Danish-flagged vessels owned and operated by the United Kingdom companies.

Pursuant to this regime, the Group’s vessel-owning companies in the United Kingdom will be subject to United Kingdom corporation tax based predominantly upon the net tonnage of the vessels rather than income generated from operating the vessels (i.e., operating income).

In the event that tonnage tax schemes or other tax laws are changed in the future, the Company’s overall tax burden could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
