4.
EXPLANATION OF THE TERM "INSIDE INFORMATION"
4.1
General
The term Inside Information means any information of a "precise nature" relating directly or indirectly to financial instruments or the issuer thereof which "has not been made public", and which is likely to have a "significant effect" on the price of those financial instruments.
 
4.2
Information of a "precise nature"
The requirement that the information must be of a "precise nature" relates to the specificity of the information and the existence of, or likelihood of future, price sensitive events and/or circumstances. Only events or circumstances that exist or reasonably may be expected to come into existence will be considered "precise". In addition, the information must be specific enough to enable a conclusion to be drawn as to the possible effect of that set of circumstances or event on the prices of the financial instruments or the related derivative financial instrument, meaning that the information must be more than rumors, assumptions and speculations. In this respect in the case of a protracted process that is intended to bring about, or that results in, particular circumstances or a particular event, those future circumstances or that future event, and also the intermediate steps of that process which are connected with bringing about or resulting in those future circumstances or that future event, may be deemed to be precise information. Even an intermediate step in a protracted process shall be deemed to be Inside Information if, by itself, it satisfies the criteria set out in this section 4.
 
4.3
"Significant effect" on the price
The requirement that the information must have a "significant effect", means that the information is likely to be used by a reasonable investor as part of his/hers investment decisions. It is not a requirement that the information enables the price to be "moved" above or below a certain specific threshold, meaning that most expected changes in the price could be sufficient to fulfil this requirement.
 
4.4
Information that "has not been made public"
Only information that "has not been made public" will be deemed to constitute inside information. Inside information relating to HAFNIA must in principle be disclosed to the market pursuant to HAFNIA'S on-going reporting obligations. If inside information becomes publicly available through other means, it will no longer constitute Inside Information (but the incident could represent a violation of HAFNIA'S disclosure obligations). Press releases on NewsWeb are regarded as public information. Information about undisclosed financial results or a possible merger, amalgamation, acquisition or other material development, whether concerning HAFNIA or otherwise, and obtained in the normal course of employment or through a rumor, tip or just "loose talk", is not public information.
 
4

4.5
Events that may typically be considered Inside Information
It is not possible to define all categories of information that could be considered as Inside Information. Inside Information may be positive or negative. While it may be difficult to determine whether particular information is Inside Information, there are various categories of information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be handled with due care as it is reasonable that it will constitute Inside Information. Examples of such information include:
 
financial results;
new equity or debt offerings;
entry into a material agreement or discussions regarding entry into a material agreement;
projections of future earnings or losses;
a proposed merger, amalgamation or acquisition;
sale or acquisition of material assets;
gain or loss of a substantial customer; and
project announcements of a significant nature.
 
Each employee and member of the board of directors has a duty to continually assess whether information that he/she receives or gains access to by virtue of his/her position or office in HAFNIA may be considered to be, or is likely to become, Inside Information. Any person who gains knowledge of such information shall immediately notify the CFO. If the employee or elected officer is in doubt as to whether or not the relevant information qualifies as Inside Information, he/she shall regardless of his/her doubts immediately contact the CFO.
 
5.
THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF HAFNIA
5.1
Public disclosure of Inside Information
As a general rule, HAFNIA shall publicly disclose Inside Information regarding HAFNIA'S Financial Instruments through NewsPoint as soon as possible and, if relevant, use such media as may reasonably be relied upon for the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout Europe and the officially appointed mechanism in Norway from time to time.
 
The disclosure of Inside Information shall clearly identify (i) that the information communicated is inside information, (ii) the full legal name of HAFNIA, (iii) the name, surname and position within HAFNIA of the person making the notification, (iv) the subject matter of the inside information and (v) the date and time of the communication to the media.
 
HAFNIA shall not combine the disclosure of Inside Information to the public with the marketing of its activities.
 
Once made public, all Inside Information must be available on HAFNIA'S website for at least five years from the same time as disclosure of Inside Information. The posts on the website shall clearly indicate date and time of disclosure and that the information is organised in chronological order.
 
5.2
Delayed public disclosure of Inside Information
HAFNIA may delay the publication of Inside Information if the following conditions are met:
 
a)
immediate disclosure is likely to prejudice the legitimate interests of HAFNIA;
 
b)
delay of disclosure is not likely to mislead the public;
 
c)
HAFNIA is able to ensure the confidentiality of that information.
 
If delayed disclosure of Inside Information is resolved:
 
a)
the Oslo Stock Exchange's market surveillance department shall immediately be informed on a confidential basis of the matter;
 
b)
HAFNIA shall keep a list of persons with access to the Inside Information in InsiderLog;
 
5

c)
the CFO shall make a written record of the delayed disclosure in the format attached hereto as Appendix 1 or by making a written record with the same information in InsiderLog when establishing an insider list as required by paragraph b) above; and
 
d)
where the confidentiality of the Inside Information is no longer ensured, HAFNIA shall disclose that Inside Information to the public as soon as possible, including situations where a rumour explicitly relates to Inside Information, where that rumour is sufficiently accurate to indicate that the confidentiality of that information is no longer ensured.
 
Where HAFNIA has delayed the disclosure of Inside Information, it shall immediately after the Inside Information is disclosed to the public:
 
a)
inform the Oslo Stock Exchange that disclosure of the Inside Information was delayed through completing the applicable form available as a module in NewsPoint and thereby providing information to the Oslo Stock Exchange about (i) the full legal name of HAFNIA, (ii) the name, title, e-mail address and phone number of the person making the notification, (iii) identification of the publicly disclosed Inside Information that was subject to delayed disclosure, (iv) date and time of the decision to delay the disclosure of Inside Information and (v) the identity of all persons responsible for the decision to delay the public disclosure of Inside Information; and
b)
upon request by the Norwegian FSA and/or to the Oslo Stock Exchange, provide a written explanation of how the conditions for delayed disclosure were met.
 
5.3
Insider lists
As soon as a decision has been made to delay public disclosure, the CFO shall establish and maintain an insider list of every person who has access to the relevant Inside Information and who are working for HAFNIA under a contract of employment, or otherwise performing tasks through which they have access to Inside Information, such as advisers, accountants or credit rating agencies
 
The insider list shall be established and maintained through InsiderLog.
 
A new insider list should be established and maintained upon the identification of new Inside Information. Each insider list shall only include details of individuals having access to the Inside Information relevant to that insider list.
 
The list must be kept and stored confidential in InsiderLog by ensuring that access to the insider list is restricted to clearly identified persons from within HAFNIA.
 
The CFO shall appoint a person who is responsible for maintaining the insider list.
 
An automatic message from InsiderLog shall be sent to the persons on the list informing them that they have been included on the list of insiders, as well as the duties and responsibilities that this entails, and the criminal liability that applies for any use of such information. Each person on the insider list receiving such automatic message shall acknowledge receipt of the automatic message.
 
A new automatic message from InsiderLog shall be sent to the persons on the list informing them once the insider list is terminated.
 
The insider list shall be deposited in InsiderLog after the last time it is updated and be retained for five years from the date it was last updated.
 
The list shall be submitted to the Norwegian FSA and/or to the Oslo Stock Exchange upon request.
 
The CFO can delegate the responsibility of maintaining the list to the advisor as far as the advisor's own handling of Inside Information is concerned. In such a situation, one contact person with the advisor shall be listed on HAFNIA'S own insider list.
 
5.4
Project list
If deemed appropriate, the CFO shall establish and maintain a project list for each project which is of such a scope or of such a nature that it involves information which is particularly sensitive and important for HAFNIA and which may subsequently become Inside Information. The purpose of the project list is to raise awareness of the duty of confidentiality. The list shall be maintained as a "sensitivity list" in InsiderLog.
 
6

5.5
Disclosure of notifiable Transactions by Primary Insiders and Close Associates
Upon receipt of notifications of Transactions from the Primary Insider or Close Associate as further described in section 7.3 below, the CFO shall promptly, and no later than within two trading days disclose the Transaction in question through NewsPoint in the format attached hereto as Appendix 2, and, if relevant, use such media as may reasonably be relied upon for the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout Europe and the officially appointed mechanism in Norway from time to time. Most of the information required to complete the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 will included in the receipt which the Primary Insider and Close Associate, as applicable, can request when submitting the form to the Norwegian FSA, as further described below.
 
5.6
Other disclosure obligations
HAFNIA is, regardless of whether the information in question constitute Inside Information or not, required to immediately disclose the events required to be disclosed pursuant to the membership rules of the Oslo Stock Exchange. If such events must be assumed to constitute Inside Information, HAFNIA may delay disclosure in accordance with section 5.2 above.
 
5.7
Financial reporting
With regard to non-consolidated financial results at business area level, an assessment must be made of whether the results can be regarded as Inside Information in each individual case, in the same way as for other sensitive information.
 
The conditions for delayed public disclosure must be assessed on a case by case basis. If delayed disclosure of Inside Information is resolved, HAFNIA is not required to inform the Oslo Stock Exchange on a confidential basis when resolving to delay disclosure, but HAFNIA is required to comply with all other requirements set out in section 5.2 above, including keep an insider list, make a written record and inform the Oslo Stock Exchange that disclosure of the information was delayed when disclosing the Inside Information.
 
HAFNIA'S financial department shall continually assess whether the financial results for a given period reveal substantial variances (significantly worse or better) from expectations created by HAFNIA, i.e. expectations that can be traced back to information provided by HAFNIA itself. This assessment must be carried out in consultation with the CFO. If appropriate, the CFO shall decide whether a profit warning should be published.
 
5.8
List of Primary Insiders and their Close Associates
The CFO shall maintain an up-to-date list of Primary Insiders and their Close Associates, regardless of whether the person in question owns Financial Instruments, and submit such register to the Oslo Stock Exchange through NewsPoint. Each Primary Insider is responsible for informing the CFO of any changes to its Close Associates. The Oslo Stock Exchange will disclose the list of Primary Insiders, while the list of Close Associates will be kept confidential.
 
5.9
Notification of obligations to Primary Insiders
HAFNIA shall notify the Primary Insiders of their obligations as Primary Insiders pursuant to these Instructions and Article 19 of MAR in writing in the format attached hereto as Appendix 3.
 
6.
THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL INDIVIDUALS
6.1
Introduction
Each person who receives Inside Information regarding HAFNIA'S Financial Instruments shall act in accordance with the prohibitions and duties that are described in further detail below.
 
This section is not necessarily a complete list of duties and responsibilities. Each person being in possession of Inside Information is obliged to keep him or herself updated as to the legislative framework concerning Inside Information from time to time.
 
7

6.2
Prohibition of use of Inside Information
No person shall conduct any Transactions in Financial Instruments if he/she has Inside Information regarding Financial Instruments. This prohibition applies to every natural and legal person, indirect and direct trading, and trading both for own account and for a third party's account, irrespective of form of settlement. The prohibition also applies to attempts and incitement to trade, i.e. persons who have Inside Information regarding Financial Instruments are not permitted to give other persons advice or in any way influence other persons to carry out or refrain from carrying out Transactions in Financial Instruments.
 
The above applies correspondingly to the entry into, purchase, sale or exchange of options or forward/futures contracts or similar rights (including financial derivatives) related to such Financial Instruments or incitement to carry out such Transactions.
 
The prohibition only applies to Transactions that can be characterized as use of Inside Information. Whether or not the Transaction constitutes use must be assessed in each individual case.
 
The use of Inside Information by cancelling or amending an order concerning a Financial Instrument to which the information relates where the order was placed before the person concerned possessed the Inside Information, is also considered as unlawful use of inside information.
 
6.3
Duty of confidentiality
Inside Information is confidential information, and shall not be given to or in other ways made available to any unauthorized persons. Any person who has Inside Information has a duty, when handling such information, to exercise due care in order to ensure that Inside Information does not come into the possession of unauthorized persons or is used. Further details of routines for ensuring secure handling of Inside Information may be found in the document attached hereto as Appendix 5.
 
The information may only be communicated or made available to another person where the disclosure is made in the normal exercise of the employment, profession or duties of the person disclosing the information.
 
Any person who communicates Inside Information, or makes such information available to another person, has an independent responsibility for ensuring that the person who is given access to the relevant Inside Information is simultaneously made aware of the duties and responsibilities entailed by the receipt of such information, including the duty of confidentiality, the duty of proper handling of the information and the duty not to use it. The above applies regardless of whether the recipient is an employee, elected officer, an external advisor and/or a business connection of HAFNIA.
 
If Inside Information is communicated or made available to another person, the person responsible for maintaining the insider list and/or the CFO shall be notified immediately, and if possible, before the information is communicated. The person responsible for maintaining the insider list shall immediately include the person in question on the relevant insider list if the person is working for HAFNIA under a contract of employment, or otherwise performing tasks through which he or she has access to the Inside Information.
 
Compliance with this duty of information is essential for HAFNIA to ensure that Inside Information is properly managed in accordance with its duties. Further, compliance with this duty of information also enables HAFNIA to maintain an insider list pursuant to these Instructions, and to ensure that the persons who are given access to Inside Information are made aware of the responsibilities that knowledge of Inside Information entails pursuant to the rules set out in these Instructions.
 
6.4
Liability, etc.
Illegal use of Inside Information is a criminal offence pursuant to the Securities Trading Act and may result in fines and up to six years imprisonment. Unlawful disclosure of Inside Information may be punished by fines and up to four years imprisonment. Contravention of the notification requirements for Primary Insiders and Close Associates may be punished by fines and up to one year imprisonment. In addition, non-compliance with Norwegian law or any of the prohibitions and obligation set out in these Instructions may result in liability for damages to HAFNIA and/or other parties pursuant to Norwegian law, as well as dismissal from the position he/she has in HAFNIA.
 
8

7.
ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS FOR PRIMARY INSIDERS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES
7.1
Applicability
Primary Insiders and their Close Associates are subject to special duties and responsibilities which are described in this Section.
 
7.2
Obligation to clear Transactions
Before carrying out, or inciting other persons to carry out or to refrain from carrying out, one or more Transactions, Primary Insiders must obtain clearance in writing from the CFO. Such request for clearance shall be submitted, and be responded to, by e-mail. Any request for clearance put forward by the CFO, must be submitted to and handled by the chairman of the board of directors of HAFNIA. The CFO or the chairman of the board of directors (as the case may be) can only provide clearance after first having performed a proper investigation of whether there is any Inside Information in HAFNIA.
 
If the CFO or the chairman of the board of directors (as the case may be) finds that there exists Inside Information, the request for clearance may be denied, and always, without providing any explanation. In considering a request for clearance, the question of whether Inside Information is or will in fact be known to the person requesting clearance may be disregarded, and the existence thereof shall constitute sufficient basis to reject a request.
 
The request for clearance must be responded to in writing (by e-mail) by the CFO/chairman within 1 week from the time of receiving a request for clearance. If a binding agreement is not concluded seven days after receiving clearance, a new clearance is required.
 
The CFO/chairman shall not give any grounds for rejection of a request for clearance.
 
7.3
Duty of notification
The Primary Insider or his/her Close Associates shall promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the Transaction notify both HAFNIA in the format attached hereto as Appendix 2 and the Norwegian FSA via the link made available on https://www.finanstilsynet.no/en/topics/market-abuse-regulation-mar-in-norway/ of every Transaction conducted on its own account relating to the Financial Instruments of HAFNIA once a threshold of EUR 5,000 has been reached (see below). Upon receipt of the notification from the Primary Insider or Close Associate, the CFO shall promptly, and no later than within two trading days disclose the Transaction in question through NewsPoint in the format attached hereto as Appendix 2 and as further described in section 5.5. above. Most of the information required to complete the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 will included in the receipt which the Primary Insider and Close Associate, as applicable, can request when submitting the form to the Norwegian FSA.
 
The notification requirement applies to any subsequent Transaction once a total amount of EUR 5,000 has been reached within a calendar year. The threshold of EUR 5,000 shall be calculated by adding without netting all Transactions of the person obligated to notify the Transaction. When calculating whether the threshold has been reached, the Transactions carried out by a Primary insider and by Close Associates to that Primary Insider should not be aggregated.
 
If Transactions are carried out in a currency which is not the EUR, the exchange rate to be used to determine if the threshold is reached is the daily euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank. For the purpose of the price to consider for donations, gifts and inheritance, one should use the last published price for the Financial Instrument concerned on the date of acceptance of the donation, gift or inheritance (i.e. the date of the Transaction), or where such price is not available that day, the last published price. As to the rules to calculate the price of options granted for free to managers or employees, the options should be based on the economic value assigned to the options by the issuer when granting them. However, the price field for options granted for free to managers or employees is expected to be nil.
 
9

7.4
Closed periods
A Primary insider shall not carry out Transactions on its own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, in the Financial Instruments of HAFNIA during a closed period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which the issuer makes public. With particular reference to the year-end financial report, the "announcement" is the public statement whereby the issuer announces, in advance to the publication of the final year-end report, the preliminary financial results agreed by the management body of HAFNIA and that will be included in that report. This can apply only if the disclosed preliminary financial results contain all the key information relating to the financial figures expected to be included in the year-end report and satisfy the IAS 34 (or equivalent as applicable) requirements. In the event the financial information in the annual report deviates from what is publicly announced, this will not trigger another closed period before the publication of the annual report, but may be addressed as potential Inside Information required to be disclosed pursuant to sections 5.1 and 5.2 above.
 
The CFO may permit a Primary Insider to conduct any Transactions in a closed period on a case-by-case basis due to, inter alia, the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares or due to the characteristics of the Transaction made, always subject to the criteria set out in as Appendix 6.
 
7.5
Notification of obligations
Primary Insiders shall notify its Close Associates of their obligations as Close Associates pursuant to these Instructions and Article 19 of MAR in writing in the format attached hereto as Appendix 4 and shall keep a copy of this notification.
 
7.6
General exercise of due care
Primary Insiders and their Close Associates shall refrain from short-term Transactions in Financial Instruments or other instruments linked to shares in HAFNIA, and should generally exercise due care in the period of ownership.

Appendix 3 – Notification to Primary Insiders
 
Notification to Primary Insiders
 
You are considered to be a person discharging managerial responsibilities (Nw. primærinsider) ("Primary Insider") as defined in article 3(25) of EU regulation 596/2014 on market abuse ("MAR") within HAFNIA LIMITED ("HAFNIA").
 
Pursuant to MAR, Primary Insiders and their Close Associates are subject to certain obligations and prohibitions. This is to notify you in writing of your obligations under article 19 of MAR as required by article 19(5) of MAR.
 
In addition to reading the obligations set out below, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the obligations imposed on Primary Insiders and Close Associates in article 19 of MAR as well as EU regulation 2016/522 and EU regulation 2016/523. Each of which may be accessed through https://www.finanstilsynet.no/tema/markedsmisbruksforordningen-mar/ (Norwegian) https://www.finanstilsynet.no/en/topics/market-abuse-regulation-mar-in-norway/  (English).
 
We hereby notify you of your obligations set out in MAR article 19 and HAFNIA'S internal Instructions for Handling of Inside Information:
 
(i)
You must obtain clearance in writing from HAFNIA'S CFO as set out in HAFNIA'S internal Instructions for Handling of Inside Information prior to entering into any transactions on your own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, relating to the financial instruments issued by HAFNIA or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked to them.1
 
(ii)
You must not conduct any transactions on your own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, relating to the instruments issued by HAFNIA or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked to them during a closed period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which HAFNIA makes public, unless explicitly permitted to do so by the CFO of HAFNIA.
 
(iii)
You must notify your Close Associates (as defined in MAR article 3(26)) (the "Close Associates") of their obligations under MAR article 19 in writing and you must keep a copy of the said notification. Close Associates include (a) spouses or partners considered to be equivalent to a spouse according to your national law, (b) dependent children according to your national law, (c) relatives who have shared the same household with you for at least one year on the date of the transaction concerned and any legal persons, trusts or partnerships, the managerial responsibilities of which are either discharged by you or by a person referred to in point (a), (b) or (c), directly or indirectly controlled by such a person, set up for the benefit of such a person, or the economic interests of which are substantially equivalent to those of such a person. The reference to "the managerial responsibilities of which are discharged" should be read to cover those cases where you or a person referred to in point (a), (b) or (c) takes part in or influences the decisions of the legal entity to carry out transactions in financial instruments of HAFNIA. In the case of mere cross board membership, where you exercise executive or non-executive functions, without however taking part nor influencing the decisions of that legal entity to carry out transactions in financial instruments of HAFNIA, then you should not be considered discharging managerial responsibilities within that legal entity.
 

1 This is only relevant if an obligation for clearance is resolved.

13

(iv)
You must notify HAFNIA and the Norwegian FSA of each transaction, including but not limited to, the transactions set out in Article 19 of MAR and Section 10 of regulation 2016/522 and as further described in Appendix 7 to HAFNIA'S internal Instructions for Handling of Inside Information and attached hereto for ease of reference2 (including, but not limited to, acquisition, disposal, short sale, subscription, exchange, acceptance or exercise of a stock option, subscription to a capital increase or debt instrument issuance, gifts and donations made or received, and inheritance received), conducted on your own account relating to the instruments issued by HAFNIA. The notification must be made promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the transaction. The obligation applies to any subsequent transaction once a total amount of EUR 5,000 has been reached within a calendar year. The notification to the Norwegian FSA must be provided through the link available through https://www.finanstilsynet.no/tema/markedsmisbruksforordningen-mar/ (Norwegian) https://www.finanstilsynet.no/en/topics/market-abuse-regulation-mar-in-norway/ (English) and the notification to HAFNIA must be provided by using the format attached as Appendix 2 to HAFNIA'S internal Instructions for Handling of Inside Information and attached hereto for ease of reference. When calculating whether the threshold has been reached, the transactions carried out by a primary insider and by Close Associates to that primary insider should not be aggregated. If transactions are carried out in a currency which is not EUR, the daily euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank on its website should be used. For the purpose of the price to consider for donations, gifts and inheritance, one should use the last published price for the financial instrument concerned on the date of acceptance of the donation, gift or inheritance (i.e. the date of the transaction), or where such price is not available that day, the last published price. As to the rules to calculate the price of options granted for free to managers or employees, the options should be based on the economic value assigned to the options by HAFNIA when granting them.
 
(v)
You must as soon as possible after receipt of this notification return the table below to HAFNIA, duly completed with a list of your Close Associates (as defined in item (ii) above) and inform HAFNIA immediately upon any subsequent change to your Close Associates.

Appendix 5 – Routines for secure handling of inside information
 
1
Technical devices
 

Use password protection on PC, tablets, phones and other electronic devices that contain Inside Information. Change password on a routinely basis.
 

Do not store Inside Information locally in PC hard disks.
 

Make sure you have solutions in place for remote disabling of phones/tablets that are synced with your email, in case of loss/theft.
 

Always log off devices with access to Inside Information before leaving them.
 
2
Document handling
 

Protect documents. All documents with Inside Information should be sent via secure channels or be secured with password protection.
 

Be careful when distributing Inside Information. Do not distribute Inside Information directly by email, but put the information in a password protected document (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, etc.)
 

Limited access to files and documents. In certain events as decided by the chief financial officer/investor relation officer, documents should be placed in restricted folders. In such cases, chief financial officer/investor relation officer is responsible ensuring that no unauthorized person has access to such restricted folders and documents. User access can only be given by requesting this by email to chief financial officer/investor relation officer.
 

Consider carefully whether you need to keep Inside Information as printed documents. Each individual is responsible for ensuring that confidential information kept as printed documents does not get in possession of unauthorized persons.
 

Be careful when printing. Do not print documents through printers in common areas without picking up the print immediately.
 

Do not use memory sticks unless they are password protected. They can easily be lost.
 

Secure physical documents: When leaving your work space: make sure to lock in documents. Documents should be shredded once there is no need to keep them. Documents that are put away to be destroyed or shredded must be put in a secure box, not through regular recycling.
 
3
Personal routines
 

Be careful when mentioning anything related to Inside Information. Do not discuss Inside Information in front of others, either by phone or through regular conversations.
 

Communication channels. Consider if communication through written channel is secured, or if it should be done through verbal channels.
 

Clean desk. Especially when handling Inside Information kept through physical documents.
 

"Clean room". Make sure to never leave documents with Inside Information at meeting rooms or common areas. Also, secure clean boards; remove flip-over-sheets and all other traces when leaving the room.
 

Misplaced Inside Information. If you get access to or find documents that might be Inside Information, for instance at a printer, in meeting rooms or other areas, make sure to inform the chief financial officer/investor relation officer and destroy the documents immediately.

Appendix 6 – Criteria for trading in closed periods
 
1.
HAFNIA may only allow a Primary Insider within it to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period if permitted pursuant to MAR and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/522 supplementing MAR, meaning, either:
 

(a)
on a case-by-case basis due to the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares; or
 

(b)
due to the characteristics of the trading involved for transactions made under, or related to, an employee share or saving scheme, qualification or entitlement of shares, or transactions where the beneficial interest in the relevant security does not change; and
 
the Primary Insider is able to demonstrate that the particular transaction cannot be executed at another moment in time than during the closed period.
 
2.
In the circumstances set out in 1(a) above, prior to any trading during the closed period, a Primary Insider shall provide a reasoned written request to HAFNIA for obtaining HAFNIA'S permission to proceed with immediate sale of shares of that issuer during a closed period. The written request shall describe the envisaged transaction and provide an explanation of why the sale of shares is the only reasonable alternative to obtain the necessary financing.
 
3.
When deciding whether to grant permission to proceed with immediate sale of its shares during a closed period, an issuer shall make a case-by-case assessment of a written request referred to above. HAFNIA shall have the right to permit the immediate sale of shares only when the circumstances for such transactions may be deemed exceptional. Such circumstances shall be considered to be exceptional when they are extremely urgent, unforeseen and compelling and where their cause is external to the Primary Insider and the Primary Insider has no control over them. When examining whether the circumstances described in the written request are exceptional, HAFNIA shall take into account, among other indicators, whether and to the extent to which the Primary Insider:
 

(a)
is at the moment of submitting its request facing a legally enforceable financial commitment or claim;
 

(b)
has to fulfil or is in a situation entered into before the beginning of the closed period and requiring the payment of sum to a third party, including tax liability, and cannot reasonably satisfy a financial commitment or claim by means other than immediate sale of shares.
 
4.
HAFNIA shall have the right to permit the Primary Insider within HAFNIA to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period, including but not limited to circumstances where that Primary Insider:
 

(a)
had been awarded or granted financial instruments under an employee scheme, provided that the following conditions are met:
 

a.
the employee scheme and its terms have been previously approved by HAFNIA in accordance with national law and the terms of the employee scheme specify the timing of the award or the grant and the amount of financial instruments awarded or granted, or the basis on which such an amount is calculated and given that no discretion can be exercised;
 

b.
the Primary Insider does not have any discretion as to the acceptance of the financial instruments awarded or granted;
 

(b)
had been awarded or granted financial instruments under an employee scheme that takes place in the closed period provided that a pre-planned and organised approach is followed regarding the conditions, the periodicity, the time of the award, the group of entitled persons to whom the financial instruments are granted and the amount of financial instruments to be awarded, the award or grant of financial instruments takes place under a defined framework under which any inside information cannot influence the award or grant of financial instruments;
 
19


(c)
exercises options or warrants or conversion of convertible bonds assigned to him under an employee scheme when the expiration date of such options, warrants or convertible bonds falls within a closed period, as well as sales of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise or conversion, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
 

a.
the Primary Insider notifies HAFNIA of its choice to exercise or convert at least four months before the expiration date;
 

b.
the decision of the Primary Insider is irrevocable;
 

c.
the Primary Insider has received the authorisation from HAFNIA prior to proceed;
 

(d)
acquires HAFNIA'S financial instruments under an employee saving scheme, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
 

a.
the Primary Insider has entered into the scheme before the closed period, except when it cannot enter into the scheme at another time due to the date of commencement of employment;
 

b.
the Primary Insider does not alter the conditions of his participation into the scheme or cancel his participation into the scheme during the closed period;
 

c.
the purchase operations are clearly organised under the scheme terms and that the Primary Insider has no right or legal possibility to alter them during the closed period, or are planned under the scheme to intervene at a fixed date which falls in the closed period;
 

(e)
transfers or receives, directly or indirectly, financial instruments, provided that the financial instruments are transferred between two accounts of the Primary Insider and that such a transfer does not result in a change in price of financial instruments;
 

(f)
acquires qualification or entitlement of shares of HAFNIA and the final date for such an acquisition, under HAFNIA'S statute, bye-law or such other constitutional documents falls during the closed period, provided that the Primary Insider submits evidence to HAFNIA of the reasons for the acquisition not taking place at another time, and HAFNIA is satisfied with the provided explanation.

The notification obligation does not apply to:

Transactions in financial instruments linked to shares or to debt instruments of the issuer referred to in that paragraph where at the time of the transaction any of the following conditions is met:

If information regarding the investment composition of the collective investment undertaking or exposure to the portfolio of assets is available, then the Primary Insider or a Close Associate shall make all reasonable efforts to avail themselves of that information.
 
21.
Finally, transactions executed in shares or debt instruments of an issuer or derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto by managers of a collective investment undertaking in which the Primary Insider or Close Associate has invested do not need to be notified where the manager of the collective investment undertaking operates with full discretion, which excludes the manager receiving any instructions or suggestions on portfolio composition directly or indirectly from investors in that collective investment undertaking.
