Investor FAQs

With a dual listing of shares on both Nasdaq in Copenhagen and Nasdaq in New York, TORM expands its potential shareholder base within the US capital market, and increases the visibility of the TORM share to a larger pool of equity analysts. Currently, the TORM share is covered by a number of equity research entities.

Over time, increased international visibility is expected to increase the trading volume and diminish the bid-ask spread of the traded share on both exchanges. This will benefit TORM’s current and potential shareholders.

The US shares are identified by CUSIP G89479102. These shares are reflected in the US component of TORM’s share register maintained by DTC and tradable on Nasdaq in New York.

The Danish shares are identified by ISIN GB00BZ3CNK81. These shares are reflected in the Danish component of TORM’s share register maintained by VP Securities and tradable on Nasdaq in Copenhagen.

Both US shares and Danish shares are entitled to identical dividends and voting rights. The only difference is that the US shares are denominated in USD and are eligible to receive dividends in USD, while the Danish shares are denominated in DKK and are eligible to receive dividends in DKK.

All TORM shares are listed on both NASDAQ in New York and on Nasdaq in Copenhagen. Only the US shares registered by DTC can be traded on Nasdaq in New York, and only the Danish shares registered by VP Securities can be traded on Nasdaq in Copenhagen, unless otherwise restricted.

Holders of TORM shares can transfer their shares from one share register to the other after completing a transferring procedure.

To transfer shares from one exchange to the other, shareholders must instruct their financial intermediary (bank or broker) to contact VP Securities (TORM’s Danish transfer and clearing agent) or Computershare (TORM’s US transfer and clearing agent).

The procedure for transferring shares (from Denmark to the US or vice versa) by the assistance of the shareholders’ financial intermediary should be completed within three trading days.

Based on this timing, and the expected timing for settlement in case of a sale, current shareholders may be able to sell their shares on either Nasdaq in Copenhagen or Nasdaq in New York without delay. In the framework of corporate events (including the payment of dividends or shareholders’ meetings), TORM may suspend the transfer of shares for a specific period of time. In such case, TORM will inform its shareholders about such event on its website.
