EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Euronav has delivered best-in-class total shareholder return, while becoming the world's largest publicly listed tanker platform 1 ‒ Under the supervision of the Supervisory Board, the Euronav Management Board has consistently positioned the Company for success, delivering best-in-class market performance since its NYSE listing in January 2015 while maintaining fleet rejuvenation as a constant focus, reducing fleet age to bring operational leverage and best positioning the Company for the upcycle • Euronav has a well-balanced strategy to deliver further growth, shareholder returns and clear energy transition progress 2 ‒ Euronav's strategy for the upcoming years is designed to maximise its value over the medium and long-term with a core focus on attractive capital allocation policy, continued optimisation of fleet management, accelerating on its Net Zero emissions trajectory and playing an active role in the consolidation of the tanker market going forward to strengthen the Company's leading position • Euronav is the uncontested ESG leader in the tanker market, with clear milestones along its path to net zero in 2050 3 ‒ With its pioneering sustainability strategy praised by independent ESG rating agencies, Euronav is leading the way in the tanker sector with the most ambitious decarbonisation targets 4• Euronav has a qualified, experienced and engaged leadership team to deliver and oversee its strategy ‒ Euronav's Supervisory Board is fully independent, engaged and qualified, providing effective oversight of the Company's strategy in the interest of all its stakeholders ‒ Euronav's Management Board is composed of experienced individuals with a successful track record through the cycles 3

![](g387033ex99_1p4g1.jpg)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5• CMB wants to take control on the cheap by replacing the entire Supervisory Board – without expressing a clear strategy or duly compensating other shareholders Euronav has asked CMB to share details of its strategy and intentions in three separate letters since January, in addition to discussions held in person, but CMB has declined to provide detailed response ‒ At the request of the regulator, CMB issued a press release and then also organised a conference call on 15 February which failed to provide any clarity on their strategy for Euronav ‒ CMB's proposal to take control of the Supervisory Board would severely weaken Euronav's governance profile by decreasing its level of independence, disrupting any continuity at a critical juncture for Euronav and by creating a permanent conflict of interests (which will be acute in likely related party transactions) among directors that are not meeting the independence criteria of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 6• Euronav proposes to add two Board representatives for each reference shareholder, reflecting recent ownership changes proportionately As Euronav values best-in-class governance, it embraces a continuous governance refreshment process so that its Supervisory Board composition reflects the Company's shareholding structure while preserving a balanced representation of all stakeholders' interests ‒ Euronav's proposed Supervisory Board composition would allow for a proper representation of interests in the boardroom while preserving the necessary independence and continuity of governance at such a critical juncture for the Company ‒ Euronav is confident that the proposed Supervisory Board would be best-suited to determine the Company's strategy and maximise shareholder value ‒ Euronav will further evaluate the size and composition of the Supervisory board at the AGM on 17 May 2023 4

CMB'S PROPOSAL CMB OPPORTUNISTICALLY BUILT A STAKE TO FORCE AN ILL-JUDGED TECHNOLOGY COMBINATION AND BLOCK A VALUE CREATING MERGER WITH FRONTLINE The Saverys family drastically reduced its stake in Euronav in April 2020 and subsequently left the Board in May 2021 50,00% 7 April 2022 11 July 2022 4 October 2021 19 May 2022 Announcement of Combination 40,00% Famatown disclosed a CMB fails on all proposed Agreed terms for Agreement (1) 9.84% stake in Euronav board members at AGM Frontline merger announced MTO (30%) 30,00% Blocking minority (25%) 20,00% CMB only started to build its stake after Euronav's Supervisory Board unanimously decided against their proposal to combine with CMB.Tech and after Famatown started to acquire shares in Euronav 10,00% Disclosure threshold (5%) From April 2020 to February 2022, CMB sold down their position to below 5% threshold; with exact ownership (if any) unknown 0,00% Jul-18 Oct-18 Jan-19 May-19 Aug-19 Dec-19 Mar-20 Jul-20 Oct-20 Jan-21 May-21 Aug-21 Dec-21 Mar-22 Jul-22 Oct-22 Feb-23 Source: SEC 13D Filings, FSMA Transparency Declarations, Euronav Press Releases 16 (1) SEC 13D filing of 4 October 2021

CMB'S PROPOSAL CMB'S CLAIMS ARE INACCURATE AND MISLEADING Reality CMB Claims • CMB drastically decreased their stake in Euronav in Q1 2020 to disappearing under the minimum • Which analyst, which journalist thanked us for trying to keep a crown jewel in Belgium? reportable threshold in Belgium and relinquishing last Board seat Nobody. […] We're fighting to preserve a jewel of our Belgian industry" • Opportunistically increased its stake back during Q1 2022 - Triggered by stake of Famatown – Alexander Saverys, quoted by L'Echo, 16 December 2022 - To force an undesired combination with CMB.Tech • Combination with Frontline to create the leading platform in the crude tanker shipping space • "CMB does not support a merger between Frontline and Euronav […] that would have led to • Value creation operation demonstrated by Euronav share price reaching all-time high since NYSE an unworkable and value-destructive situation for both companies" IPO following the announcement of the transaction • Accretive transaction for Euronav's shareholders (both CEPS and EPS) clearly supported by Equity – CMB Press Release, 10 January 2023 Research Analysts that published highly supportive notes about it • Euronav has clear short-term, mid-term and long-term milestones to achieve the most ambitious • "We believe this strategy should be based on […] playing a leading role in the Net Zero trajectory in the tanker market decarbonisation of the shipping industry" (1) • Euronav is best ranked among tanker players by leading independent ESG rating agencies – CMB Press Release, 12 July 2022 • Euronav has helped pioneer/participated in all key sector decarbonisation initiatives • Despite three formal and many informal requests since January, which Euronav, so far, has not wanted to make public, CMB has consistently refused to provide a detailed strategic plan for Euronav and confirmed in writing not extending a voluntary/mandatory bid with control premium • At the request of the regulator, CMB issued a press release and then also organised a conference • [...] you should focus on the creation of long-term value for all stakeholders and seek a call on 15 February which both failed to provide any clarity on their strategy for Euronav solution through a constructive dialogue with your largest shareholder" • In addition, CMB refused to provide background information, selection criteria, the name of the recruiting firm or the long or short lists for selection such that Euronav was not able to further vet – CMB's Letter to Euronav's Supervisory Board, 14 December 2022 independence criteria • CMB has so far refused Euronav's proposal of a refreshed and balanced Supervisory Board composition including the current Euronav independent Directors, 2 representatives of CMB and 2 representatives of Famatown Source: Public information (1) Sustainalytics, MSCI and CDP 17

CMB'S PROPOSAL AN ATTEMPT TO EXERT OUTSIZED INFLUENCE OVER EURONAV'S SUPERVISORY BOARD TO CMB'S SOLE INTEREST Candidate previously rejected List of Candidates Proposed by CMB While CMB during Euronav's 2022 AGM currently owns 25% of Euronav… Marc Saverys – Non independent Director … CMB non-independent candidates would account for 40% of the Supervisory Board if it is replaced by CMB proposed slate Patrick de Brabandere – Non independent Director Other CMB Candidates are NOT Julie De Nul – Director (1) Meeting Independence Criteria û Candidates were handpicked by CMB, as Catharina Scheers – Director part of a non-transparent Saverys-family internal process, leaving shareholders uncertain of what preconditions or commitments they might bring to the Patrick Molis – Director Supervisory Board • CMB's proposal would lead to a disproportionate representation of interests in the boardroom to the sole benefit of CMB • CMB's proposal appears to be an attempt to take effective control of Euronav without paying a premium to the Company's shareholders by way of a takeover, raising alarming questions about CMB's true intentions (1) Nominated by +10% shareholder which disqualifies them as independent under Belgian Corporate Governance Code 18

APPENDIX INDEPENDENCE CRITERIA Article 7:87, §1 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations: A director in a listed company will be considered independent if (s)he does not have a relationship with the company or with an important shareholder which compromises her or his independence. […] To determine whether a candidate director satisfies this condition, the criteria of [the 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance] are applied. […] A candidate director satisfying these criteria is, until proven otherwise, deemed independent. If the [Supervisory Board] proposes the appointment of an independent director who does not satisfy these criteria to the shareholders' meeting , it explains the reasons why it considers the candidate to be actually independent in accordance with the first sentence. 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance, provision 3.5: In order to be appointed as an independent board member, a board member should meet the following criteria: […] 5. a. Not hold shares, either directly or indirectly, either alone or in concert, representing globally one tenth or more of the company's capital or one tenth or more of the voting rights in the company at the moment of appointment; b. Not having been nominated, in any circumstances, by a shareholder fulfilling the conditions covered under (a) 6.
