#### 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 (the "Commission") 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 and the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. None of us, the selling shareholder or the underwriters 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., which is a company 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, which also comply with reporting requirements under English law.

#### WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we filed a registration statement relating to the securities offered by this prospectus supplement with the Commission. This prospectus supplement is a part of that registration statement, which includes additional information.

We file annual and special reports with the Commission. You may read any document that we file on the Commission's website (http://www.sec.gov).

You should refer to the actual documents for a more complete description of the relevant matters. You may inspect a copy of the registration statement through the Commission's website.

#### Information Incorporated by Reference
The Commission allows us to "incorporate by reference" information that we file with it. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those filed documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of the prospectus, and information that we file later with the Commission prior to the termination of this offering will also be considered to be part of the prospectus and will automatically update and supersede previously filed information, including information contained in this document.

#### PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
 *This summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements included or incorporated by reference elsewhere in the prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. As an investor or prospective investor, you should carefully review the risk factors and the more detailed information that appears later in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated into each by reference before making an investment in the Class A common shares.* 

#### OUR BUSINESS
TORM plc is one of the world's largest maritime transporters of refined oil products. Our activities are primarily the transportation via product tanker of clean petroleum products, such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, naphtha and gas oil, and occasionally dirty petroleum products, such as fuel oil. We are active in all medium and larger vessel segments of the product tanker market from Medium Range (MR) to Long Range 2 (LR2) tankers. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we control and operate a fleet of 83 product tankers, 55 of which we own and 28 of which we control through charter in on bareboat charter with the option and/or obligation to purchase the vessel during the contract period. On a fully delivered basis, TORM controls 88 product tankers. For an overview of the specifications of our fleet, please see "Our Fleet" below.

We have an extensive in-house operating and management platform, known as One TORM which performs commercial, administrative and technical management for our vessels. Through this highly efficient and integrated platform, we handle the commercial management of all our vessels and the technical management of all our owned vessels, other than three vessels managed by an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we conduct all vessel sale and purchase activities in-house, leveraging relationships with shipbrokers, shipyards, financial institutions and other shipowners.

#### OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our primary objective is to optimize our earnings within the given market environment and conditions in addition to ensuring the long-term viability of the company. The three key elements of our business strategy are:

#### Leading Product Tanker Owner with a Modern Fleet.
We are an international leading product tanker company and one of the largest owners of product tankers in the world. While we primarily employ our fleet of vessels in the spot market, we also enter into medium and long-term contracts when levels are assessed attractive. Such contracts provide more cash flow certainty and include (i) charter contracts, (ii) contracts of affreightment (CoA) and (iii) forward freight agreements (FFA). Our diverse fleet of MRs, LR1s and LR2s with an average age of 11.3 years affords us a presence in all the largest product tanker segments and across all regional supply and demand hubs, positioning us well to meet our customers' transport and storage requirements. Our largest customers include oil majors and global oil traders with which we have long-standing relationships. These strong counterparties reflect the strength and breadth of our service offering.

We seek to selectively grow our fleet and to serve as a consolidator in the product tanker segment when attractive opportunities arise. We continuously assess opportunities to optimize our fleet by acquiring attractive high-specification second-hand product tankers or selectively pursuing newbuilding programs with high-quality shipyards.

We continuously evaluate potential transactions that we believe will be accretive to earnings, enhance shareholder value or are in the best interests of the Company, which may or may not include the pursuit of business combinations and the acquisition of tonnage in other shipping segments.

In this way, we serve as a consolidator while at the same time optimizing our invested capital to enable the highest possible return on invested capital. Our scalable business platform is a supportive and required enabler for this strategic objective.

During 2022, we purchased one secondhand LR2 vessel, which was delivered to us during August 2022.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Since the beginning of 2023, we have entered into agreements to acquire (i) a total of seven 2011 – 2013 built LR1 vessels for an aggregate cash consideration of $233 million and (ii) three 2013-built MR eco product tanker vessels for a total cash consideration of $48.5 million and the issuance of 1.42 million shares.

From time to time, we plan to sell vessels that no longer align with our commercial strategy or to opportunistically monetize older assets in our fleet. In 2022, we sold three LR2 vessels, one that was built in 2000 and two from 2003 for total proceeds of $46 million. We also sold two MR vessels from 2003 and 2004 for total proceeds of $21 million, and as part of our long-term strategy we exited the Handysize vessel class by selling two Handysize vessels that were built in 2005 and 2009 for total proceeds of $22 million.

#### Strong Financial Profile and Focus on Stakeholder Alignment.
We believe a more spot-based commercial chartering strategy will produce greater cash flow though the cycle. TORM can balance the cash flow variability of a spot-based commercial chartering strategy given our focus on operating costs, solid capital structure with low leverage, a strong liquidity position and limited off-balance sheet charter-in commitments.

Secured bank financing remains the preferred source of debt funding for us, but the use of leasing (bareboat) structures reflects our broad access to various sources of competitive financing, with the option and/or obligation to purchase the applicable vessel during the contract period.

To support our shares and to attract a broad investor base, we regularly market our shares towards investors through investor roadshow activities, conference participation and panel discussions. Further, we believe that our transparent company structure and corporate governance principles enhance the attractiveness of our shares.

In the second quarter of 2022, we introduced a new Distribution Policy pursuant to which we intend to distribute, on a quarterly basis, excess liquidity above a fixed threshold cash level as of the balance sheet date. For each quarter, the threshold cash level will be determined as the product of cash requirement per vessel and the number of owned and leased vessels in TORM's fleet as of the balance sheet date. Excess liquidity is determined as TORM's readily available liquidity less the threshold cash level. The readily available liquidity is defined as (i) TORM's cash balance at the last day of the quarter preceding the relevant distribution date excluding restricted cash, plus (ii) undrawn amounts on TORM's working capital facilities, minus (iii) proceeds received from vessel sales, or additional proceeds from vessel refinancing, or securities offerings in the past 12 months earmarked for share repurchases, debt prepayment, vessel acquisitions, or general corporate purposes. The cash requirement per vessel is fixed at $1.5 million for June 30, 2022 and $1.8 million for September 30, 2022 onwards.

#### Superior Operating Platform.
Our fleet is effectively managed on the in-house data-driven integrated operating platform known as One TORM. Operations are conducted combined for the entire fleet to reap synergies and efficiencies across our vessel classes.

The integrated nature of our operating platform provides transparency and clear alignment of management and shareholder interests, which mitigates the potential for actual or perceived conflicts of interest with related parties. We also believe that the largest customers prefer an integrated operating model as it provides them with better accountability and insight into safety and vessel performance.

In line with our strategic focus on safety, the One TORM platform features its *One TORM Safety Culture* program. The purpose of the program is to continuously strengthen our safety culture beyond mere compliance and reflects the belief that profitability and safety are not mutually exclusive.

On the One TORM platform the commercial, technical, sale and purchase and support divisions work towards common goals in a network-based organization. Our commercial team is responsible for employment and operation of our fleet and has continuously demonstrated superior performance compared to peers and market benchmarks. One of the key elements for the commercial team to succeed is the ability to ensure an optimal position of the fleet in the global basins, where differences in earnings can be significant during a year.

Our fleet is managed by its in-house technical management. The department is responsible for maintaining the high quality of our vessels and the delivery of an environmentally friendly, safe and cost-efficiently technical operation. Our technical management also has extensive experience in vessel design

and construction and provides essential knowledge for us to execute newbuilding programs. Apart from the office staff, more than 3,300 trained seafarers are employed in our technical department.

Our sale and purchase activities are conducted by an in-house team. The sale and purchase team leverages relationships with shipbrokers, shipyards, financial institutions and shipowners to ensure fleet renewal and actively pursue lucrative opportunities in the second-hand and newbuilding markets.

The support division is an integral part of our day-to-day operations and provides optimized business practices, reporting and payment processes, proactive business partnering, stringent risk management, liquidity and funding management, etc. The support division has for years built a strong data and digitalized business support function. By means of significant, advanced analytics and applied AI competences, this function has created an analytical model to further support the commercial performance of the Company.

#### Investing in a Greener Future.
We strive to utilize our market position and strength to lead the product tanker industry into a more environmentally friendly future and to develop innovative solutions for a greener future, and as of December 31, 2022, we have achieved a 37.1% reduction in Annual Efficiency Ratio compared to the IMO baseline (2008).

Our key priority is to contribute to combatting the accelerating global climate change and to minimizing pollution of the seas and the atmosphere. Thus, we have a strong focus on reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, achieved through a committed focus on optimal performance and industry collaboration.

We believe that both the CO2 and the ESG agendas will be integral and determining elements of the future of the product tanker business. At the same time, we acknowledge that oil and refined oil products are essential resources that the world will continue to rely on for the foreseeable future.

We embrace the climate combat and are dedicated to developing innovative solutions for our industry and easing the impact of our vessels on the environment. To quantify our ambition, we have set a target to reduce our relative CO2 emissions by 40% by 2025 and by 45% by 2030 compared to IMO's 2008 baseline and an ambition to have zero CO2 emissions from operating our fleet by the year 2050.

We believe that our integrated focus on environmental impact will be beneficial both from an environmental and an investment point of view. We will therefore investigate the potential of green business adjacencies that can co-create long-term value and optionality for us. We have already formed a successful partnership with a scrubber producer, supporting the Company's scrubber investments. In August of 2022, we purchased 75% of the shares in Marine Exhaust Technology A/S, a Danish-based company owning ME Production A/S ("MEP"), which, among other things, produces solutions to reduce air pollutants in connection with marine transportation. With the acquisition, TORM gets access to strong expertise in — and access to sourcing of — developing and producing components for the maritime industry. TORM has an extensive historical relationship with MEP, which has provided TORM with most of the scrubbers installed on our vessels. As of the date of this prospectus, we have successfully installed scrubbers on 59 out of our 83 vessels, with another 9 installations scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. None of the five vessels that are expected to be delivered before the end of May 2023 have scrubbers installed. Depending on vessel type, our vessels equipped with scrubbers are currently earning a premium per day of $1,300 – $2,700 as compared to similar vessels without scrubbers.

To reach the CO2 target set for 2025 and 2030, optimization and improvement of the existing fleet are paramount, and we are applying a broad set of actions to enhance the fuel efficiency of its fleet. This includes both operational and technical improvements. We are also engaged in developing *next generation* ship design and new energy improving technologies with selected partners. To support the target, we will incorporate the impact on the reduction trajectory when assessing future fleet renewal options.

In the longer term and to meet our ambition for 2050, we believe that new alternative fuels in shipping will be required on a global scale. We will seek to influence this development and pursue broad industry cooperation on this important journey. These new technologies are still in the developing stages and what will be the technology of the future is so far associated with great uncertainty.

#### RECENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

#### Vessel Acquisitions
On March 16, 2023, we entered into an agreement to purchase three 2013-built MR eco product tanker vessels for a total cash consideration of $48.5 million and the issuance of 1.42 million Class A common shares. Share amounts and capitalization data in this prospectus supplement do not give effect to the expected issuance of these shares. The transaction will increase our total fleet to 88 vessels on a fully delivered basis.

The vessels, which are all built at a tier 1 Korean yard and have fuel-efficient eco vessel specifications, are expected to be delivered no later than May 31, 2023. The cash element of the transaction is expected to be financed through traditional bank financing, and in connection with each of the three deliveries we will issue one third of the total share issuance, corresponding to 50% of the total consideration.

During January 2023, TORM entered into an agreement to acquire three LR1 vessels which together with another agreement that TORM entered into earlier in January 2023 resulted in TORM purchasing a total of seven 2011 – 2013 built LR1 vessels for an aggregate cash consideration of $233.0 million. All vessels are built at well-known Korean and Chinese shipyards. All vessels are expected to be delivered no later than the end of April 2023 and financed by sale and leaseback agreements with a Chinese financial institution.

#### Trading Update
As of March 12, 2023, the coverage for the first quarter of 2023 through that date was 89% at an average TCE/day of $43,002. For the individual vessel classes, the coverage was 90% at an average TCE/day of $65,950 for LR2, 86% at an average TCE/day of $44,135 for LR1 and 89% at an average TCE/day of $37,730 for MR. Also as of March 12, 2023, the coverage for the full year quarter of 2023 was 31% at an average TCE/day of $42,759 for all vessel classes.

#### Financing Update
On March 16, 2023, we obtained commitment for refinancing of $433 million bank and leasing agreements with two new bank facilities, thereby extending debt maturities until 2028 and with a possibility to extend most of the debt expiration to 2029. Further, we have obtained commitment for financing of additional second-hand vessels for up to $123 million with the same expiration terms.

The refinanced debt will be structured as a syndicated facilities agreement with six to nine banks of up to $322 million, which will refinance 21 vessels built between 2009 and 2020, and a bilateral facilities agreement with HCOB of up to $111 million, which will refinance 26 vessels built between 2003 and 2008. Danske Bank A/S, ING Bank N.V., and Nordea Bank Abp are appointed coordinators and mandated lead arrangers. Closing of the agreements is subject to documentation and is expected during the second quarter of 2023.

#### Share Capital Increases
On March 21, 2023, we increased our share capital by 802,800 Class A common shares (corresponding to a nominal value of $8,028.00) as a result of the exercise of a corresponding number of restricted share units, or RSUs. After the capital increase, our share capital amounted to $831,353.68 divided into 83,135,366 Class A common shares of $0.01 each, one Class B share of $0.01 and one Class C share of $0.01.

On March 28, 2023, we increased our share capital by 132,735 Class A common shares (corresponding to a nominal value of $1,327.35) as a result of the exercise of a corresponding number of RSUs. After the capital increase, our share capital amounted to $832,681.03 divided into 83,268,101 Class A common shares of $0.01 each, one Class B share of $0.01 and one Class C share of $0.01.

Please see the section of this prospectus supplement entitled "Description of Capital Stock" for further information.

#### Long-Term Incentive Program
On March 29, 2023, we announced our Board of Director's decision to grant Restricted Share Units, or RSUs, in the form of restricted stock options to certain employees (the "Participants") for 2023, as part of our long-term incentive program.

For 2023, the Participants will be granted a total of 1,248,153 RSUs and, subject to vesting, each RSU will entitle the holder to acquire one Class A common share. The RSUs will vest over a three-year period, with one third of the grant amount vesting at each anniversary during the three-year period commencing January 1, 2023. The exercise price for each Class A common share is DKK 220.6, corresponding to the average of 90 calendar days preceding the publication of our 2022 20-F plus a 15% premium and adjusted for the dividend payment related to our fourth quarter 2022 results. Vested RSUs may be exercised for a period of 360 days from each vesting date.

In addition to the RSUs granted to the Participants, Executive Director Jacob Meldgaard will be granted a total of 255,200 RSUs on similar terms as outlined above.

Holders of the RSUs will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to such RSUs until such time as the RSUs vest and are exercised and Class A common shares are issued. The RSUs include certain adjustment and acceleration provisions, exercise conditions and other terms customary for restricted stock option programs of this nature.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### 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 2022 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 Commission 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 and/or ourselves, economic and regulatory trends, general market conditions, rumors and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The stock market experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations. 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 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, extreme 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 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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 2020 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 14, 2025. The issuance by us of additional securities of equal or senior rank to your securities may have the following effects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in us may decrease;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the relative voting strength of previously outstanding securities may be diminished; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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 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 were an aggregate of 1,467,184 RSUs outstanding as of March 28, 2023. Subject to vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to acquire one Class A common share. The RSUs will vest over a three to five-year period from the grant date with an original exercise price for each Class A common share of DKK 69.9, 53.5 or 58.0, depending on the year that the RSUs were granted. The exercise price on the RSUs may be adjusted by the Board of Directors to reflect dividend payments made to shareholders. Assuming the exercise of all of our outstanding warrants and full vesting and exercise of our outstanding RSUs, this would result in the issuance of 1,467,184 additional Class A common shares representing approximately 1.8% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares. Please see "Item 10. Additional Information—A. Share Capital-Restricted Share Units" in the 2022 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 the selling shareholder, Njord Luxco, a company indirectly owned by funds managed by Oaktree and its affiliates. Njord Luxco is our controlling shareholder. Njord Luxco beneficially owns approximately 53,812,988 Class A common shares, or approximately 65% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares, and immediately upon closing of this offering, Njord Luxco is expected to own 48,812,988 Class A common shares (or 48,062,988 if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A common shares), or approximately 59% (or 58% if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A common shares) of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares. One or 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 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.

In its capacity as our controlling shareholder, Njord Luxco may also have interests that differ from those of other shareholders. In addition, Njord Luxco holds the Class C share, which has 350,000,000 votes at the general meetings on specified matters, including the election of members to the Board of Directors (including

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the Chairman but excluding the Deputy Chairman) and certain amendments to the Articles of Association proposed by the Board of Directors. When the votes carried by the Class C share are combined with the votes carried by the Class A common shares, each held by Njord Luxco, such votes would represent approximately 93% of the votes that may be cast on resolutions on which the Class C share may vote and immediately upon closing of this offering 92% of the votes both including and excluding if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A common shares.

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 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. Please see the section of the accompanying base prospectus titled "Description of Capital Stock — Share Capital — Our Shares — Class C Share." The Class C share 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 our Board of Directors 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 our issued Class A common shares.

Further, Njord Luxco, companies affiliated with Njord Luxco and companies affiliated with, or indirectly owned by funds managed by, Oaktree, hold substantial commercial and financial interests in other shipping companies, including companies that are active in the same markets as us, and with whom we might compete from time to time. Any material conflicts of interest between us and Njord Luxco, Oaktree and/or other shareholders may not be settled in our favor and may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

#### SELLING SHAREHOLDER
The following table sets forth information as of March 29, 2023, 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 Commission governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under rules of the Commission, 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.

#### DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
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 the 2022 20-F. Please see the section of this prospectus supplement entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

#### Share Capital

#### Issued and Authorized Capitalization
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our share capital consists of 83,268,101 Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share, 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.

#### Our Shares
***Class A common shares.*** Each outstanding Class A common share, par value $0.01 per 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 2022 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, and Jeffrey Stein is the appointed Board Observer. 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 supplement of 53,812,988 Class A common shares and the Class C share, Njord Luxco has 403,812,988 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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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 87% of the votes that may be cast on resolutions on which the Class C share may vote.

The underwriters and the representatives are collectively referred to as the "underwriters" and the "representatives," respectively. The underwriters are offering the Class A common shares subject to their acceptance of the Class A common shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters 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 their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are 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 underwriters are not required to take or pay for the Class A common shares covered by the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares described below.

The underwriters initially propose 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 by the representatives.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 750,000 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, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional Class A common shares as the number listed next to the underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total number of Class A common shares listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.

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 underwriters' option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Class A common shares.

We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the representatives we will not, during the period ending 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement (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 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 and the selling shareholder have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the representatives, 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 (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 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 and the selling shareholder may sell Class A common shares they purchase on the open market following the offering, subject to certain conditions.

The representatives, in their 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 underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class A common shares. Specifically, the underwriters 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 underwriters under the option. The underwriters 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 underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option. The underwriters may also sell shares in excess of the option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters 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 underwriters are 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 investors who purchase in this offering. As an additional means of facilitating this offering, the underwriters 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

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the market price of the Class A common shares. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

We, the selling shareholder and the underwriters 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 one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of Class A common shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

The underwriters and their 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. Certain of the underwriters and their respective 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 their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective 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 underwriters and their respective 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.

#### CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

#### Our Company and our Business
TORM plc is one of the world's largest carriers of refined oil products. Our activities are primarily the transportation of clean petroleum products, such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, naphtha and gas oil, and occasionally dirty petroleum products, such as fuel oil. We are active in all larger vessel segments of the product tanker market from Handysize to Long Range 2 (LR2) tankers. As of the date of this prospectus, we own and operate a fleet of 84 product tankers, 72 of which we own and 12 of which we charter in on bareboat charter. In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we have one newbuilding under construction that is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter 2022. Additionally, as of the date of this prospectus, we entered into an agreement with a Chinese financial institution for the sale and operational leaseback of nine existing MR vessels built from 2010 to 2012, which are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022. For an overview of the specifications of our fleet, please see "Our Fleet," below.

We have an extensive in-house operating and management platform which performs commercial, administrative and technical management for our vessels. Through this integrated platform, we handle the commercial management of all our vessels and the technical management of all our owned vessels, other than three vessels managed by an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we conduct all vessel sale and purchase activities in-house, leveraging relationships with shipbrokers, shipyards, financial institutions and other shipowners.

#### History and Development of the Company
We were founded as TORM A/S in 1889 by Captain Ditlev E. Torm and Christian Schmiegelow. Within the first ten years, the fleet of TORM A/S consisted of four vessels, and in 1905 TORM A/S became listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. In connection with the Redomiciliation in 2016, TORM A/S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TORM plc. As of the date of this prospectus, we operate a fleet of 84 owned or chartered-in vessels and our Class A common shares are listed on both Nasdaq Copenhagen and Nasdaq New York under the symbols "TRMD A" and "TRMD," respectively.

TORM plc is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on October 12, 2015 under the name Anchor Admiral Limited with company number 09818726. Anchor Admiral Limited was renamed TORM Limited on November 26, 2015, and TORM Limited was renamed TORM plc on January 20, 2016.

#### Management of Our Fleet
We are primarily involved in the transportation of refined oil products from the refineries to the end user. In addition to clean products, we use some of our vessels for the transportation of residual fuels from the refineries as well as crude oil directly from the production field to the refinery. These fuel types are commonly referred to as dirty petroleum products, as extensive cleaning of the vessel's cargo tanks is required before a vessel can transport clean products again. In addition, some of our vessels have special chemical trading capabilities. In 2020 and through the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 94.5% and 98.5%, respectively, of our turnover was generated from clean products transportation.

Our integrated operating platform with in-house technical and commercial management enhances the response to customer demands and allows us to generate value for stakeholders as well as for the Company.

Our long-term success is dependent on our ability to provide safe and reliable transportation services. In addition to the items explicitly stated in the financial statements, our long-term success further builds on the intellectual property of our workforce and the relationship and cooperation with external stakeholders such as oil traders, state-owned oil companies, oil majors, financial institutions, shipyards, brokers, and governmental agencies.

We are present in all large vessel classes in the product tanker market with specific focus on the LR2, LR1 and Medium Range (MR) vessel classes as these three segments offer the greatest synergies. In addition, six of our MR product tankers have special chemical trading capabilities.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

We are, on an ongoing basis, optimizing and adjusting our fleet mix, and since the beginning of 2020, our fleet has increased from 76 vessels to 84 vessels on the water in November 2021. The increase covers the purchase of 18 vessels, delivery of 13 vessels and 5 newbuildings and a sale of 10 older vessels. In the second and third quarters of 2021, we took delivery of eight MR vessels and three LR2 vessels. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we took delivery of one LR2 newbuilding, and in the first quarter of 2022, we are scheduled to take delivery of one LR2 newbuilding vessel as well. The change is primarily driven by our general opportunistic approach to fleet renewal through disposal of older tonnage, acquisition of younger tonnage and modern second-hand vessels and contracting of newbuildings with the recent additions to fleet timed in the market down-turn.

#### Our Business Strategy
Our primary objective is to optimize our earnings within the given market environment and conditions in addition to ensuring the long-term viability of the company. The three key elements of our business strategy are:

 *Leading Product Tanker Owner.* 

We are an international leading product tanker company and one of the largest owners of product tankers in the world. TORM primarily employs its fleet of 84 vessels in the spot market. With our presence in all the large product tanker segments and across all regional supply and demand hubs, we are well positioned to meet our customers' transport and storage requirements.

We seek to selectively grow our fleet and to serve as a consolidator in the product tanker segment if the right opportunities arise. We continuously assess opportunities to optimize our fleet by acquiring attractive high-specification second-hand product tankers or selectively pursuing newbuilding programs with high-quality shipyards.

In this way, we serve as a consolidator while at the same time optimizing our invested capital to enable the highest possible return on invested capital (ROIC). Our scalable business platform is a supportive and required enabler for this strategic objective.

During 2021, we have so far purchased 11 vessels, all of which were delivered during the second and third quarters of 2021 and in support of our expected ROIC. This includes eight MR product tankers, six of which have chemical trading capabilities in a partly share, partly cash-based transaction and three 2015-built scrubber-fitted and fuel-efficient LR2 vessels.

From time to time, we also plan to sell vessels that no longer fit with the commercial strategy, or if the price point is deemed attractive. In 2020, we sold eight older vessels, capitalizing on the strong market during the first half of the year that provided attractive opportunities to dispose of older tonnage. During 2021 so far, we have sold one additional older vessel.

Our solid capital structure balances the spot-based employment profile with low leverage, a strong liquidity position, a fully funded newbuilding program and limited off-balance sheet charter-in commitments.

Secured bank financing remains the preferred source of debt funding for us, but the use of leasing structures reflects our broad access to various sources of competitive financing.

To support our shares and to attract a broad investor base, we frequently market our shares towards investors through investor roadshow activities, conference participation and panel discussions. Further, we believe that our transparent company structure and corporate governance principles enhance the attractiveness of our shares.

 *Superior Operating Platform.* 

Our fleet is effectively managed on the in-house integrated operating platform known as One TORM. Operations are conducted combined for the entire fleet to reap synergies across vessel classes.

The integrated nature of our operating platform provides transparency and clear alignment of management and shareholder interests, which mitigates the potential for actual or perceived conflicts of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

interest with related parties. We also believe that the largest customers prefer an integrated operating model as it provides them with better accountability and insight into safety and vessel performance.

In line with our strategic focus on safety, the One TORM platform features its *One TORM Safety Culture* program. The purpose of the program is to continuously strengthen our safety culture beyond mere compliance and reflects the belief that profitability and safety are not mutually exclusive.

On the One TORM platform the commercial, technical, sale and purchase and support divisions work towards common goals in a network-based organization. Our commercial team is responsible for employment and operation of our fleet and has continuously demonstrated superior performance compared to peers and market benchmarks. One of the key elements for the commercial team to succeed is the ability to ensure an optimal position of the fleet in the global basins, where differences in earnings can be significant during a year.

Our fleet is managed by its in-house technical management. The department is responsible for maintaining the high quality of our vessels and the delivery of an environmentally friendly, safe, and cost- efficiently technical operation. Our technical management also has extensive experience in vessel design and construction and provides essential knowledge for us to execute newbuilding programs. Apart from the office staff, more than 3,000 seafarers are employed in our technical department.

Our sale and purchase activities are conducted by an in-house team. The sale and purchase team leverages relationships with shipbrokers, shipyards, financial institutions and shipowners to ensure fleet renewal and actively pursue lucrative opportunities in the second-hand and newbuilding markets.

The support division is an integral part of our day-to-day operations and provides optimized business practices, reporting and payment processes, proactive business partnering, stringent risk management, liquidity and funding management etc. The support division has for years built a strong data and digitalized business support function. By means of significant, advanced analytics and applied AI competences, this function has created an analytical model to further support the commercial performance of the Company.

 *For A Greener Future.* 

We strive to utilize our market position and strength to lead the product tanker industry into a more environmentally friendly future and to develop innovative solutions for a greener future, and we have reduced our CO2 impact by 22% since 2008.

Our key priority is to contribute to combatting the accelerating global climate change and to minimizing pollution of the seas and the atmosphere. Thus, we have strong focus on reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, achieved through a committed focus on optimal performance and industry collaboration.

We believe that both the CO2 and the ESG agendas will be integral and determining elements of the future of the product tanker business. At the same time, we acknowledge that oil and refined oil products are essential resources that the world will continue to rely on for the foreseeable future.

We embrace the climate combat and are dedicated to developing innovative solutions for our industry and easing the impact of our vessels on the environment. To quantify our ambition, we have set a target to reduce our relative CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2008 and an ambition to have zero CO2 emissions from operating our fleet by the year 2050.

We believe that our integrated focus on environmental impact will be beneficial both from an environmental and an investment point of view. We will therefore investigate the potential of green business adjacencies that can co-create long-term value and optionality for us. We have already formed a successful partnership with a scrubber producer, supporting the company's scrubber investments.

To reach the CO2 target set for 2030, optimization and improvement of the existing fleet are paramount, and we are applying a broad set of actions to enhance the fuel efficiency of its fleet. This includes both operational and technical improvements. We are also engaged in developing *next generation* ship design and new energy improving technologies with selected partners. To support the target, we will incorporate the impact on the reduction trajectory when assessing future fleet renewal options.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

In the longer term and to meet its ambition for 2050, we believe that new alternative fuels in shipping will be required on a global scale. We will seek to influence this development and pursue broad industry cooperation on this important journey. These new technologies are still in the developing stages and what will be the technology of the future is so far associated with great uncertainty.

#### Recent and Other Developments
In the fourth quarter of 2021, TORM entered into an agreement a Chinese financial institution for the sale and operational leaseback of nine existing MR vessels built from 2010 to 2012. The lease period is expected to be between eight and ten years depending on the vessels. The transactions are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022 and yield aggregate net proceeds of $75.5 million to the Company following the repayment of the existing debt secured by the vessels. This lease financing includes buyout options, starting from year three. This underlines TORM's ability to obtain attractively priced and diversified operational lease financing.

#### RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider all of the information included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, including the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021, as updated by annual and other reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

The occurrence of one or more of those risk factors could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in the prospectus supplement.

#### Risks inherent in an investment in our securities

#### The market price of our securities after any offering may be volatile, and the value of an investment in our securities may decline.
The market price of our securities could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to any one or more of the risk factors discussed in our latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and others beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the market for similar securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of other public companies in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • mergers and strategic alliances in the tanker industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • market conditions generally and in the tanker industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • prevailing global and regional economic and political conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the effect of governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards on the conduct of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in the basis of taxation of our activities in various jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to service and refinance our current and future indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to raise additional debt and equity to satisfy our capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the failure of securities analysts to publish research about us after this offering or shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • announcements concerning us or our competitors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the general state of the securities markets.

The product tanker market is cyclical in nature, which leads to volatility in freight rates, vessel values and industry profitability and freight rates among different types of product tankers are highly volatile. In addition, the securities markets in recent years have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as factors such as those listed above, may negatively impact the price of our securities. If the market price of our securities declines, you may not realize any return on your investment in our securities and may lose some or all of your investment. Also, you may not be able to sell the securities at prices equal to or greater than those paid by you in any offering. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. Future securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### 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.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in us may decrease;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the relative voting strength of previously outstanding securities may be diminished; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the market price of our securities may decline.

#### Additional risks associated with the operation of our business

#### The smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may lead to governmental claims against us.
We expect that our vessels will call on ports where smugglers may attempt to hide drugs and other contraband on vessels, with or without the knowledge of crew members. To the extent our vessels are found with contraband, whether inside or attached to the hull of our vessel and whether with or without the knowledge of any of our crew, we may face governmental or other regulatory claims which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

#### The impact of COVID-19 may adversely impact the global economy and our business.
The spread of the novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as COVID-19), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has had and continues to have a significant negative impact on the global economy and has caused significant volatility in the financial markets, the severity and duration of which remains uncertain and will depend on future developments including, among others, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, any resurgence of the virus, the actions to contain or treat its impact, and the length of time that the pandemic continues and whether subsequent waves of the infection happen including as a result of vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and the response by governmental bodies and regulators. Accordingly, an estimate of the impact cannot be made at this time.

COVID-19 has introduced uncertainty in a number of areas of our business, including operational, commercial, administrative and financial activities. We are focused on maintaining our efficient operations and, above all, the health and safety of our seafarers and shore-based employees. Because of port restrictions and various quarantine measures, we continue to experience challenges with crew changes on our operating vessels and crewing of our newbuildings prior to delivery from the relevant shipyard. In light of these challenges our crew have had to and may in the future have to stay on board for longer periods and increased costs may occur in conjunction with crew changes on our operating vessels and crewing of our newbuildings. The uncertainty in global capital and bank credit markets has also affected access and cost of new financing. We are unable to reasonably predict the estimated length or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operating results.

In addition, we or the 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.

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.

In addition, we or any Selling Shareholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn 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.

The 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.

#### 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, 2020, initially filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 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 81,213,775 Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share, 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.

At the Company's 2016 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors was granted certain authorizations to increase our issued share capital, both with and without pre-emption rights to the existing shareholders. The Board of Directors sought renewal of this existing authority (other than the authority to allot Class A common shares in relation to the Exchange Offer) at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and these resolutions were approved. For a description of the share authorities granted to our Board of Directors, reference is made to "Director's Report — Share Capital" on pages 99-102 of our 2020 *Annual Report.* 

Furthermore, the Board of Directors received authorization at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to make market purchases up to a maximum of 7,476,065 A-shares within a certain price range. We have repurchased 180,500 A-shares in the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, leaving a current authority to purchase up to 7,295,565 A-shares or approximately ten percent (9%) of our share capital excluding treasury shares.

#### Our Shares
*Class A common shares.* Each outstanding Class A common share, par value $0.01 per share, has, (i) on a poll, one (1) vote on all matters at the general meeting (other than the election or removal of the B-director), (ii) pre-emption rights upon any new issue of equity securities (including Class A common shares) for cash (unless otherwise provided by the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006, 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 Oaktree or its affiliates) pursuant to the terms of a minority trust deed. 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. Mr. David Weinstein serves as the Class B share elected director and Mr. Jeffrey Stein is the appointed Board Observer. 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 Oaktree. The holder of the Class C share has 350,000,000 votes at our general meetings on specified matters, described below. Based on Oaktree's share ownership as of the date of this prospectus of 53,812,988 Class A common shares and the C share, Oaktree has 403,812,988 votes.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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 Oaktree or pursuant to redemption by us. The Class C share will be automatically redeemed when Oaktree 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 Oaktree 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 Oaktree holds only a third of the issued Class A common shares, the votes cast by Oaktree would represent approximately 87% of the votes that may be cast on resolutions on which the Class C share may vote.

The reserved matters set forth in our Articles of Association require either the approval of a majority of our Board including our Chairman and Deputy Chairman or the approval of a resolution approved by at least 70% or 86% of the votes capable of being cast. Please see "Memorandum and Articles of Association," below.

#### Our Share History
As of December 31, 2019, TORM plc's total share capital was $747,482.50 consisting of 74,748,248 Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share, one Class B share and one Class C share both of par value $0.01 per share.

During 2020, TORM plc increased its share capital by 107,681 Class A common shares as a result of a corresponding number of Restricted Share Units being exercised. Following this, as of December 31, 2020, TORM plc's total share capital was $748,559.31 with 74,855,929 Class A common shares, one Class B share and one Class C share. During 2020 TORM plc repurchased 180,500 Class A common shares and as of December 31, 2020, TORM plc holds 493,371 as treasury shares.

As of December 31, 2020, TORM plc had approximately 10,800 registered shareholders representing approximately 94% of the share capital. In 2020, TORM plc was subject to United Kingdom Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules under which shareholders have a 3% ownership notification requirement. However, from January 1, 2021, in connection with the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, TORM plc changed its home member state in relation to the EU's Prospectus Regulation and Transparency Directive to Denmark. As a consequence, TORM plc's shareholders now have ownership notification requirements when crossing thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 33.3% 50%, 66.6% and 90% ownership share of the voting rights or nominal value of the total share capital. Based on notifications received during 2020 and 2021, to date, OCM Njord Holdings S.à r.l. (Oaktree) is the only shareholder with more than 5% of the share capital holding 66.67% of the share capital.

As of December 31, 2020, TORM plc's treasury shares represented approximately 0.6% of the total share capital. The Class C share is held by Oaktree, and the Class B share is held by the minority trustee, FM Trustees Limited, on behalf of TORM plc's non-Oaktree shareholders. The Class B share and the Class C share have certain voting rights. At the end of 2020, the members of the Board of Directors held a total of 297,135 shares, equivalent to a total market capitalization of DKK 13,371,075 or $2,109,659. The Board of Directors and certain employees are limited to trading shares during a four-week period after the publication of TORM plc's financial report.

Through 2021 to as of the date of this prospectus, TORM plc has increased in its share capital by a total of 389,936 Class A common shares as a result of the exercise of a corresponding number of Restricted Share Units. The capital increase was carried out without any pre-emption rights for existing shareholders or others. The new shares were subscribed for in cash.

Between April 2021 and July 2021, in connection with the acquisition of eight 2007-2012 built MR product tanker vessels from TEAM Tankers Deep Sea Ltd, TORM plc increased its share capital by 5,967,913 Class A common shares as a result of the delivery of such vessels.

#### Restricted Share Units
In accordance with TORM plc's Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors has, as part of the Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP), granted certain employees Restricted Share Units (RSUs) in the form of restricted stock options. The RSUs aim at retaining and incentivizing the employees to seek to improve the performance of TORM plc and thereby the TORM plc share price for the mutual benefit of themselves and the shareholders of TORM plc. Each RSU granted under the LTIP entitles its holder to acquire one Class A common share, subject to vesting.

On March 18, 2021, TORM plc announced that the Company's Board of Directors has determined to grant Restricted Share Units (to certain employees, in accordance with the Company's Renumeration Policy. The RSUs aim at incentivizing the Participants to seek to improve the performance of TORM plc and thereby the TORM plc share price for the mutual benefit of themselves and the shareholders of TORM plc. The Participants will for the year 2021 be granted a total of 1,099,919 RSUs and, subject to vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to acquire one TORM plc A-share. The RSUs will vest over a three-year period, with one third of the grant amount vesting at each anniversary during the three-year period starting on January 1, 2022. The exercise price for each TORM plc A-share is DKK 53.5, corresponding to the average of 90 calendar days preceding the publication of TORM plc's 2020 Annual Report plus a 15% premium. Vested RSUs may be exercised for a period of 360 days from each vesting date. In addition to the RSUs granted to the Participants, Executive Director Jacob Meldgaard has been granted a total of 255,200 RSUs on similar terms as outlined above. Holders of the RSUs will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to such RSUs until such time as the RSUs vest and are exercised and TORM plc A-shares are issued. The RSUs include certain adjustment and acceleration provisions, exercise conditions and other terms customary for restricted stock option programs of this nature. The theoretical market value of the RSU allocation is calculated at USD $3.0 million based on the Black-Scholes model.

#### Transfer Agent
The transfer Agent is Computershare Inc, Dept CH 19228, Palatine, IL 60055, USA.

#### 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, 2020, initially filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 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, save that, within the description of our Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) the reference to the year 2021 in the first "Pre-emptive Rights" summary is replaced by a reference to the year 2025 (ii) the reference to article 131 under the "Reserved Matters" summary is replaced by a reference to article 137 and (iii) the second paragraph of the left hand column in the "Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal" summary commencing with the words "In the event that we merge with another EU company" is deleted in its entirety.

#### 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. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, are sometimes referred to individually as an "indenture" and collectively as the "indentures." Each indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act 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 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the maturity date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the interest rate per annum, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any optional or mandatory sinking fund provisions or exchangeability provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • whether the debt securities will be our senior or subordinated securities;

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

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the applicability and terms of any guarantees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any events of default not set forth in this prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any listing on any securities exchange or quotation system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • additional provisions, if any, related to defeasance and discharge of the debt securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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 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.

#### 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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. Subordinated debt would rank subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the subordinated debt indenture, to all our senior debt.

#### 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:

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to make investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • mergers and consolidations by us or our subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • sales of assets by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to incur liens; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • sale and leaseback transactions.

#### 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5)

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • default in any payment of principal or premium at maturity;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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 reasonable indemnity. 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### 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 the debt securities provide us with the right not to comply with specified covenants and that specified events of default described in a subsequent filing will not apply provided we deposit with the trustee 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 such payments in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture governing such 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.

We refer you to applicable subsequent filings with respect to any deletions or additions or modifications from the description contained in this prospectus.

#### 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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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.

If we issue registered global securities, we expect that the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, will act as depository and the securities will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC's nominee.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants to purchase any of our debt or equity securities. 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. We expect that such terms will include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the title of such warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the aggregate number of such warrants;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the number and type of our securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

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

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

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

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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS
We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of any of our debt or equity securities issued by us.

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.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### 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 stockholder 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the exercise price for the rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the number of rights issued to each stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the extent to which the rights are transferable;

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the amount of rights outstanding;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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 "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.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

#### 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange or 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 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.

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 cargoes, 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.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

We do not believe that we or our subsidiaries will qualify for exemption from tax under Section 883, 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.-UK 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. For this purpose, our Class A common shares would generally be considered our primary class of shares if the Class A common shares represents 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 the aggregate number of Class A common shares traded during the prior taxable year are 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. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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".

Since 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, we and each of our subsidiaries will be exempt from U.S. federal income tax with respect to our U.S. source shipping income if we and each of our subsidiaries satisfy either the "50% Ownership Test" or the "Publicly-Traded Test" and certain substantiation and reporting requirements are met. We do not anticipate satisfying the 50% Ownership Test. Our ability to satisfy the Publicly-Traded Test is discussed below.

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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

during that taxable year on established securities markets in any other single country. Currently, our shares are primarily traded on the 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". Since 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 our U.S. source shipping income 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, we 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 their U.S. trade or business.

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

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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • 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 believe 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.

#### Taxation of Holders of Securities Offered Hereunder
The material U.S. federal income tax considerations to investors that are beneficial owners of any of the offered securities that are either (a) United States persons within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (b) not United States persons within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code of purchasing, acquiring, owning, holding, exercising, exchanging, selling or otherwise disposing of the offered securities will be described in a supplement to this prospectus.

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.

#### 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.

#### 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 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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

main rule be subject to a final Danish withholding tax of 22%, provided the recipient reclaims the excess tax from the Danish tax authorities). This final withholding tax may be further reduced to the extent a tax treaty allows for a lower withholding tax rate than 22%.

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 within the EU or a state which has a tax treaty with Denmark, and the Danish taxation should be reduced or eliminated in accordance with the EU Parent/Subsidiary Directive (2011/96/EU) or in accordance with a tax treaty between Denmark and the state in which the receiving company is domiciled. The Danish company is not required to withhold any tax if the dividend payments are exempt from Danish withholding tax.

When considering whether the EU Parent/Subsidiary Directive (2011/96/EU) or a tax treaty can be applied (thereby enabling exemption from Danish withholding taxes on dividend distributions provided the foreign receiving company owns at least 10% of the distributing company), 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 2019 (transposition of the EU Directive 2016/1164 and most recently amended by Directive 2017/952).

If these conditions for exemption are not fulfilled, Danish withholding tax of 27% (potentially reduced to 22% and potentially a lower rate according to a tax treaty) will be triggered on such dividend distributions.

#### New withholding tax system
The Danish government has announced that it is considering introducing a new withholding tax system for listed shares. According to the contemplated system, a dividend should be taxed on the distribution date at a final tax rate based on each shareholder's specific conditions. The information on the shareholders (including information on the beneficial owner pursuant to Danish legislation) must be provided before the actual distribution date in order for the dividend distributing companies to be able to calculate and withhold the correct amount of dividend tax for each shareholder. The shareholder's custodian will be the withholding party, and also the party that must provide the shareholder information to the Danish tax authorities. The withholding party is liable for the correct payment of withholding taxes.

The proposed new model has been introduced in a bill and sent through a consultation process. The bill has not yet been introduced before the Danish Parliament and is subject to change. No expected date of the implementation has been announced.

As the proposed new model is only contemplated to apply to listed shares, it should not apply to dividends distributed on the shares in 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.

#### Danish Tax Risks

#### 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. Following the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, TORM plc is not entitled to the benefits under the EU Parent/Subsidiary Directive (2011/96/EU)

However, TORM plc 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), and its protection would, in principle, be available regardless of the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union. In order for the double tax treaty to apply, TORM plc must be considered the beneficial owner of the dividends and must not

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

be subject to Danish anti-abuse rules. We believe that TORM's group structure, their level of business activity carried out in the United Kingdom, their economic risk, their right to dispose of dividends received as well as the fact that TORM plc is a listed company 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. If not all of the applicable conditions in the double tax treaty between the United Kingdom and Denmark are 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 at 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 £2,000 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 (as this is different for basic and higher rate taxpayers). 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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 7.5%, to the extent that it is within the basic rate band, 32.5% to the extent that it is within the higher rate band and 38.1%, to the extent that it is within the additional rate band.

On September 7, 2021, the United Kingdom Government announced that the tax rate applicable to dividends would rise by 1.25% from April 2022, and that this would be legislated for in the next Finance Bill.

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 not generally expect to be subject to tax on dividends from the Company.

Other shareholders within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax will not be subject to tax on dividends from the Company so 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) are generally dividends that fall within an exemption in respect of "portfolio holdings" (subject to the application of relevant anti-avoidance rules). Other exemptions may also apply.

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 10% for individuals who are subject to income tax at the basic rate and 20% 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 (£12,300 in the 2021/22 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 years or less 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, depending on the circumstances and subject to any available exemption or relief. Indexation allowance may reduce the amount of chargeable gain that is subject to corporation tax but may not create or increase any allowable loss. For disposals on or after January 1, 2018, indexation allowance covers only the movement in the retail prices index from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2017. The rate of corporation tax is currently 19%. The main rate of corporation tax is due to increase to 25% from April 1, 2023.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

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 generally will 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 when new shares are issued to a clearance service or depositary receipt system. In the 2017 Budget, the government of the United Kingdom confirmed that this will remain the case after the United Kingdom's intended departure from the European Union.

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 will 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 respects 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%.
