(Singapore, 13 June 2024)
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by BW LPG Limited ("BW
LPG" or the "Company", OSE ticker code: "BWLPG.OL", NYSE ticker code "BWLP") on
21 May 2024 regarding the notice of a court sanctioned meeting of shareholders
of the Company (the "Scheme Meeting") for eligible shareholders to vote on the
scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") between the Company and its shareholders
pursuant to Section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 as amended in order to
effect a discontinuance of the Company from Bermuda and continuance to Singapore
and adopt the constitution of the Company which will take effect upon
continuance in Singapore (the "Redomiciliation").
The Scheme Meeting was held on 12 June 2024, with the Scheme being approved by
the Company's shareholders at the meeting.
There will be a subsequent court hearing on 20 June 2024 at 9:30 a.m. (Bermuda
time) at which the Company shall petition the Supreme Court of Bermuda (the
"Court") to sanction the Scheme (the "Sanction Hearing"). If the Scheme is
sanctioned by the Court, then the Scheme will become binding on the Company and
its shareholders once a copy of the court order is filed with the Registrar of
Companies in Bermuda.
Shareholders of the Company are entitled to appear at the Sanction Hearing.
Shareholders who wish to appear in court are encouraged to adopt one of the
procedures noted on pages 14 and 15 of the Explanatory Statement of the Company
in relation to the Scheme dated 21 May 2024.
The Company expects that the Redomiciliation will come into effect on or around

order, the final approval by the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory
Authority and the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Scheme as set
