CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Matters discussed in this document may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts.
Frontline desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends,"
"estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "will," "may," "should," "expect" "pending" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in Frontline's
records and other data available from third parties. Although Frontline believes that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or
impossible to predict and are beyond Frontline's control, you cannot be assured that Frontline will achieve or accomplish these
expectations, beliefs or projections. Frontline undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement
to actual results or changes in expectations.
Important factors that, in Frontline's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions,
including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including but not limited to
changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in Frontline's operating expenses,
including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for Frontline's vessels, availability of financing and
refinancing, ability to comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, failure of counterparties to fully perform their
contracts with us, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability
from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes
due to accidents or political events, vessel breakdowns, instances of off-hire and other important factors. For a more
complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties associated with Frontline's business, please refer to Frontline's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 20-F.
This information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading
Act.
