NON-GAAP MEASURES
The Company assesses the financial performance of its business using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded
from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures include “Adjusted Net Revenue”
and “Adjusted EBITDA”. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for its investors and, when considered together with the Company’s IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation to the most
directly comparable IFRS financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations. In addition, the DHT’s management measures the financial performance of the Company, in part, by
using these non-GAAP measures, along with other performance metrics. The Company does not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or as superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.
Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported
under IFRS.

The carrying values of the vessels may not represent their fair market value at any point in time since the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in
charter rates and the cost of constructing new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values have been cyclical. The carrying amounts of vessels held and used by us are reviewed for potential impairment or reversal of
prior impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount of a particular vessel.

Note 6 – Equity and Convertible Bond Offerings
Convertible Senior Note Offering
On September 16, 2014 the Company completed a private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). DHT paid interest at
a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears. Net proceeds to DHT were approximately $145.9 million after the payment of placement agent fees. The value of the conversion right was estimated to $21.8 million; hence
$21.8 million of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million was classified as equity. The Notes were convertible into common stock of DHT at any time after placement until one business day prior to their maturity. The initial
conversion price was $8.125 per share of common stock (equivalent to 18,461,538 shares of common stock), and was subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. On October 1, 2019 the Company announced that holders of $26,434,000 in
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes due October 1, 2019, exercised their right to convert their notes into shares at the conversion price of $6.0216 per share. As a result the Company issued
4,389,858 shares of common stock. The remaining $6,426,000 in aggregate principal amount was repaid in cash.
In August 2018 the Company completed a privately negotiated exchange agreement with certain holders of the outstanding 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 to exchange approximately
$73.0 million aggregate principal amount of the existing notes for approximately $80.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021. In addition, a private placement was completed of
approximately $44.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 4.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 for gross proceeds of approximately $41.6 million. Net proceeds to DHT were approximately $38.9 million after the payment
of placement agent fees.
Following closing of the private exchange and the private placement, there are $125 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”)
outstanding. The 2021 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum on the principal amount accruing from August 21, 2018. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year, beginning on
February 2019. Interest is computed on the basis of 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-days months. The initial conversion price was $6.2599 per share of common stock (equivalent to 19,968,370 shares of common stock) and is subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the cumulative effect of previously announced cash dividends, the conversion price was adjusted to $5.9825 effective November 6, 2019. Based on the adjusted conversion price the total
number of shares to be issued would be 20,894,108. The 2021 Notes will mature on August 15, 2021, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.
