·  
On November 29, 2013 the Company completed a private placement of shares generating net proceeds of $106.7 million.
 
·  
During the fourth quarter the Company entered into agreements with Hyundai Heavy Industries ("HHI") for the construction of two VLCCs with a contract price of $92.7 million each, including certain additions and upgrades to the standard specification. In January 2014 the Company entered into an agreement for a third VLCC at HHI at identical contractual terms. Subsequently, the Company's orderbook consist of three VLCCs that are scheduled for delivery in April, July and September 2016.  In December the Company paid 20% pre-delivery installments on two of vessels totaling $37.1 million and in January 2014 the Company paid $18.6 million on the third vessel.
 
·  
In November 2013 DHT agreed a final claim amount of $46.0 million with OSG related to the claim of $51.8 million filed with the Bankruptcy Court (the "Court") in March 2013.  The amount was approved by the Court in December. In February 2013 DHT sold the claim to Citigroup for a purchase price equal to 33.25% of the amount of the claim ultimately allowed and DHT received an initial payment of approximately $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2013.  The final payment of $8.5 million was received in January 2014. The full amount of $15.4 million received related to the sale of the claim has been recorded as shipping revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013.
 
·  
In November DHT agreed to a final claim amount of $1.5 million with OSG related to six further claims in the amount of $3.4 million filed with the Court in May 2013. These claims have not been assigned to a third party and, as the amount, timing and form of any recovery is not known, DHT has not reflected this amount in its financial statements.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Financials
We reported shipping revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $30.9 million compared to shipping revenues of $20.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was due to the $15.4 million in payment from Citigroup related to final settlement of the sale of the OSG claim in the fourth quarter of 2013 offset by vessels coming off fixed rate charters and a fleet reduction from nine to eight vessels.

Voyage expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $3.1 million, compared to voyage expenses of $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Vessel operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $6.6 million, compared to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was due to two vessels on bareboat charters redelivered from the charterer and now operated by us offset by a reduction in the fleet.

Depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of capitalized survey expenses, was $6.5 million for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decline is due to the fleet reduction from nine to eight vessels and the impairment charge of $100.5 million in 2012. The impairment test performed as of December 31, 2013 using the "value in use" method did not result in an impairment charge. Commencing with the third quarter of 2012, we changed the estimated useful life of the vessels for the calculation of depreciation from 25 years to 20 years.

General & administrative expense ("G&A") for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $2.3 million compared to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and includes non-cash charges related to restricted share agreements for our management and board of directors.

Net financial expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.8 million, compared to $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

We had net income in the fourth quarter of 2013 of $11.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $6.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), in the fourth quarter of 2012. The improvement was mainly due to $15.4 million in payment from Citigroup related to the settlement of the OSG claim recorded as shipping revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the impairment charge of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $7.4 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.4 million for the prior-year period.

Net cash used by investing activities for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $37.1 million, compared to zero for the prior-year period. The increase was due to the pre-delivery installments of $37.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the two VLCC newbuildings ordered.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $105.8 million, compared to $4.3 million used in financing activities for the prior-year period. In the fourth quarter of 2013 we completed a private placement of shares generating net proceeds of $106.1 million after expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2012 we made a repayment of long term debt totaling $4.0 million.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, our cash balance was $126.1 million, compared to $71.3 million at the end of fourth quarter 2012. As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted for the fourth quarter, we remain in compliance with our financial covenants.

We declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2013 payable on February 13, 2013 for shareholders of record as of February 6, 2013. When determining the dividend our Board has taken into account the general business conditions.

As of December 31, 2013, we had 29,040,974 shares of our common stock and 97,579 shares of our Series B Participating Preferred Stock outstanding.  Our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to 150,000,000 and capital stock to 151,000,000 on January 20, 2014, and such amendment was filed with the Republic of the Marshall Islands on January 20, 2014.  As a result of such amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, each share of our previously outstanding Series B Participating Preferred Stock will be mandatorily exchanged for 100 shares of our common stock on February 4, 2014.  Subsequent to the exchange of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock, we will have 38,798,874 shares of our common stock outstanding.


Results for 2013
In 2013 we had shipping revenues of $87.0 million, compared to shipping revenues of $97.2 million in 2012.  The decrease in revenues was mainly due to a reduction in the fleet from 12 vessels as of January 1, 2012 to eight vessels as of May 2013 and vessels coming off fixed rate charters offset by the $15.4 million related to the sale of the claim against OSG recorded as shipping revenues in the fourth quarter 2013.

Voyage expenses for 2013 were $25.4 million, compared to $10.8 million in 2012. The increase was due to more vessels operating in the spot market after coming off time charters and bareboat charters.

Vessel operating expenses in 2013 were $24.9 million compared to $24.4 million for 2012. The increase is related to the two Suezmax vessels having been redelivered from their bareboat charters and now being operated by us offset by the reduction in the fleet.
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses, including depreciation of capitalized dry docking costs, were $26.2 million in 2013 compared with $32.1 million in 2012. The decline was due to the reduction in the fleet and the impairment charge of $100.5 million in 2012. We had loss on sale of vessels of $0.7 million in 2013 compared to $2.2 million in 2012. Commencing with the third quarter of 2012, we changed the estimated useful life of the vessels for the calculation of depreciation from 25 years to 20 years.

G&A in 2013 was $8.8 million including non-cash cost related to restricted share agreements for our management and board of directors, compared to $9.8 million in 2012. The decrease was due to lower expenses related to incentive compensation in 2013.

Net financial expenses were $4.9 million in 2013 compared to $4.4 million in 2012. The increase is mainly due to a gain on derivative financial instruments in 2012 offset by lower interest expenses in 2013 as a result of reduction in long term debt.
 
We had a net loss in 2013 of $4.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $94.1 million or $7.83 per diluted share (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) in 2012.

In 2013 net cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million, compared to $21.2 million in 2012. The increase was mainly due to less use of cash for operating assets and liabilities during 2013 (mainly related to declines in our accounts receivable and prepaid charter hire) offset by higher net income in 2012 (after adjusting the 2012 period for the $100.5 million impairment charge).
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $16.9 million in 2013 compared to net cash generated from investing activities of $9.8 million in 2012. In 2013 we invested $39.2 million in vessels offset by sale of a vessel totaling $22.2 million. In 2012 we invested $3.8 million in vessels offset by sale of vessels totaling $13.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2013 was $48.6 million, compared to $2.3 million used in financing activities in 2012. In 2013 we issued stock generating net proceeds of $106.1 million after expenses offset by repayment of long term debt totaling $56.3 million and cash dividends paid totaling $1.2 million. In 2012 we issued stock generating net proceeds of $75.9 million after expenses offset by repayment of long term debt totaling $69.2 million and cash dividends paid totaling $9.0 million.

Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, was $140.3 million as of December 31, 2013 compared with $73.2 million at December 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2013 we had commitments for capital expenditures (other than for mandatory interim and special surveys) totaling $148.3 million related to the agreements with HHI for the construction of two VLCCs with a contract price of $92.7 million each.

As of December 31, 2013, we had 29,040,974 shares of our common stock and 97,579 shares of our Series B Participating Preferred Stock outstanding.  Our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to 150,000,000 and capital stock to 151,000,000 on January 20, 2014, and such amendment was filed with the Republic of the Marshall Islands on January 20, 2014.  As a result of such amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, each share of our previously outstanding Series B Participating Preferred Stock will be mandatorily exchanged for 100 shares of our common stock on February 4, 2014.  Subsequent to the exchange of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock, we will have 38,798,874 shares of our common stock outstanding.

As of December 31, 2013, our cash balance was $126.1 million, compared to $71.3 million as of December 31, 2012.

We monitor our covenant compliance on an ongoing basis. Decline in vessel values could result in our company no longer being in compliance with our minimum value covenants. Such non-compliance could result in us making pre-payments under our credit agreements. As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted for the fourth quarter of 2013, we remain in compliance with our financial covenants. Second-hand tanker values can be highly volatile. We will assess the market value of our fleet in subsequent quarters and, depending on second-hand values at those times, may be required to pay down a portion of our indebtedness to banks in accordance with the terms of our outstanding credit facilities.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

Note 1 – General information
DHT Holdings, Inc. ("DHT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company's principal executive office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. The Company's principal activity is the ownership and operation of a fleet of crude oil carriers.

The financial statements were approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") on January 22, 2014 and authorized for issue on January 22, 2014.

Note 2 – General accounting principles
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with DHT's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2012. Our interim results are not necessarily indicative of our results for the entire year or for any future periods.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies that have been followed in these condensed financial statements are the same as presented in the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements, except for the following new accounting principles:

Vessels under construction - Pre-delivery installments
The initial pre-delivery installments made for vessels ordered in 2013, have been recorded in the balance sheet as "Advances for vessels under construction" under Non-current Assets. Vessels under construction are presented at cost less identified impairment losses, if any. Costs relating to vessels under construction include pre-delivery installments to the shipyard and other vessel costs incurred during the construction period that are directly attributable to construction of the vessels, including borrowing costs, if any, incurred during the construction period.

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosure

New and amended standards, and interpretations mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2013 but not currently relevant to DHT (although they may affect the accounting for future transactions and events). The adoption did not have any effect on the financial statements:

·  
Amended IAS 1; "Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income". The amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or "recycled") to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
 
 
 
12

 

 
·  
IAS 19 (revised 2011); "Employee Benefits". The amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits, proposes major changes to the accounting for employee benefits, including the removal of the option for deferred recognition of changes in pension plan assets and liabilities (known as the "corridor approach"). The result is greater balance sheet volatility for the Company since the corridor approach has been used. In addition, these amendments will limit the changes in the net pension asset (liability) recognized in profit or loss to net interest income (expense) and service costs. Expected returns on plan assets will be replaced by a credit to income based on the corporate bond yield rate. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

·  
IFRS 13; "Fair Value Measurement". IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The standard defines "fair value" in the context of IFRS as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is not an entity-specific measurement, but rather is focused on market participant assumptions for a particular asset or liability. Therefore, when measuring fair value, an entity considers the characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would consider those characteristics when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

·  
IFRS 10; "Consolidated Financial Statements". IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

·  
IFRS 11; "Joint Arrangements". IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

·  
IFRS 12; "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities". IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

Note 3 – Segment reporting
Since DHT's business is limited to operating a fleet of crude oil tankers, management has organized the entity as one segment based upon on the service provided. Consequently, the Company has one operating segment as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments.
 
Information about major customers:

As of December 31, 2013, six of the Company's eight vessels were on charter, pursuant to time charters to different customers for periods up to 18 months. One vessel operate in a commercial pool and one vessel operated in the spot market.
 
For the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, one customer represented $7.4 million of the Company's revenues. For the period from October 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, three customers, not including the $15.4 million in payment from Citigroup related to final settlement of the sale of the OSG claim, represented $3.8 million, $3.5 million, and $1.6 million, respectively, of the Company's revenues. For the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, two customers represented $59.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of the Company's revenues. For the period from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, two customers represented $15.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of the Company's revenues.


Note 4 – Interest bearing debt
As of December 31, 2013, DHT had interest bearing debt totalling $156.4 million, of which $113.3 million is priced at Libor+1.75%, $18.4 million is priced at Libor+3.00% and $24.8 million is priced at Libor+2.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2013, three month Libor was 0.25%. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one interest rate swap in an amount of $65 million under which DHT pays a fixed rate of 5.95% including margin of 0.85%. The interest rate swap expired on January 18, 2013. From January 1, 2009, the Company has discontinued hedge accounting on a prospective basis. Derivatives are re-measured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting gain and loss is recognized in profit or loss.
 
In March 2012 we entered into agreements to amend the credit agreements related to DHT Phoenix and DHT Eagle. The agreements were amended whereby, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the prepayment of $6.7 million and $6.9 million (equal to all scheduled installments through 2014), respectively, until and including December 31, 2014: (i) the "Value-to-Loan Ratio" will be lowered from 130% to 120%; and (ii) the margin on the loans will be increased by 0.25% to 3.00% and 2.75%, respectively. These two amendments became effective upon the completion of the equity offering in early May 2012 at which time the above prepayments were made. These two credit facilities also contain financial covenants related to each of the borrowers as well as DHT on a consolidated basis. DHT covenants that, throughout the term of the credit agreements, DHT on a consolidated basis shall maintain unencumbered cash of at least $20 million, value adjusted tangible net worth of at least $100 million and value adjusted tangible net worth of no less than 25% of the value adjusted total assets.

In April 2013 the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, DHT Maritime, Inc., amended its credit agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS") whereby the minimum value covenant has been removed in its entirety. Furthermore, the installments scheduled to commence in 2016 have been changed from a fixed $9.1 million per quarter to a variable amount equal to free cash flow in the prior quarter – capped at $7.5 million per quarter. Free cash flow is defined as an amount calculated as of the last day of each quarter equal to the positive difference, if any, between: the sum of the earnings of the vessels during the quarter and the sum of ship operating expenses, voyage expenses, estimated capital expenses for the following two quarters, general & administrative expenses, interest expenses and change in working capital. The next scheduled installment would at the earliest take place in Q2 2016. In April 2013 the Company made a prepayment of $25 million and the margin has increased to 1.75%. DHT Maritime's financial obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by DHT Holdings.

As of the date of our most recent compliance certificates submitted for the fourth quarter of 2013, we remain in compliance with our financial covenants.

Measurement of fair value:
It is only derivatives that are classified within a fair value measurement category and recognized at fair value in the balance sheet. Fair value measurement is based on Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 7. Such measurement is based on techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable.

Note 5 – Vessels
The carrying values of our 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 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not be fully recoverable. The Company has performed an impairment test using the "value in use" method as of December 31, 2013.
 
In assessing "value in use", the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. In developing estimates of future cash flows, we must make significant assumptions about future charter rates, future use of vessels, ship operating expenses, drydocking expenditures, utilization rate, fixed commercial and technical management fees, residual value of vessels, the estimated remaining useful lives of the vessels and the discount rate. These assumptions are based on current market conditions, historical trends as well as future expectations. Estimated outflows for ship operating expenses and drydocking expenditures are based on a combination of historical and budgeted costs and are adjusted for assumed inflation. Utilization, including estimated off-hire time, is based on historical experience. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are subjective. The impairment test did not result in a non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2013. The impairment test has been performed using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.83%.

The impairment tests performed in 2012 resulted in a non-cash impairment charges totaling of $100.5 million using an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 8.39%. The main changes from impairment tests prior to the third quarter of 2012 are that we assumed an estimated useful life of 20 years, down from 25 years and a reassessment of the two long-term bare boat charters for DHT Target (formerly Overseas Newcastle) and DHT Trader (formerly Overseas London) with OSG due to the announcement by OSG regarding its solvency.

Private Placement
On November 24, 2013, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement among us and the investors named therein (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which we agreed to sell approximately $110 million of our equity to institutional investors in a Private Placement (the "Private Placement"). The equity included 13,400,000 shares of our common stock and 97,579 shares of a new series of our preferred stock, the Series B Participating Preferred Stock. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on November 29, 2013, and the Private Placement generated net proceeds to us of approximately $106.7 million (after placement agent expenses, but before other transaction expenses).

We called a special meeting of our shareholders of record as of December 13, 2013 to consider an amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock to 150,000,000 shares and to increase the authorized number of shares of our capital stock to 151,000,000. The special meeting took place on January 20, 2014 and our stockholders voted in favor of the amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, and such amendment was filed with the Republic of Marshall Islands on January 20, 2014.  As a result of such stockholder approval and the filing of such amendment, each share of our Series B Participating Preferred Stock will be mandatorily converted into 100 shares of our common stock at a 1:100 ratio.

Series A
Under the terms of the backstopped equity offering that closed in May 2012, 442,666 shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, were designated and issued by the Company.

The Series A Participating Preferred Stock participated with the common stock in all dividend payments and distributions in respect of the common stock (other than dividends and distributions of common stock or subdivisions of the outstanding common stock) pro rata, based on each share of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock being deemed to be equal to, after adjusting for the 12-for-1 reverse stock split that became effective as of the close of trading on July 16, 2012, (i) 14.1667 shares of common stock (for periods prior to January 1, 2013) and (ii) 12.5000 shares of common stock (for periods commencing January 1, 2013), in each case subject to further adjustment.

After adjusting for the above mentioned 12-for-1 reverse stock split, one share of issued and outstanding Series A Participating Preferred Stock was deemed equal to 16.6667 shares of common stock (the "Participation Factor"), subject to further adjustment, for purposes of voting rights and determining liquidation preference amounts in certain instances of the Series A Participating Preferred Stock.

Effective July 17, 2012 until June 30, 2013, each holder of Series A Participating Preferred Stock could choose to exchange its shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, on an all or nothing basis, for shares of common stock at a 1:17 ratio unless and until the Participation Factor becomes subject to further adjustment.

Note 10—OSG Bankruptcy and Claims
In connection with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by OSG and certain of its affiliates commenced on November 14, 2012, OSG subsequently rejected our two long-term Suezmax bareboat charters with the approval of the presiding bankruptcy court. We and certain of our affiliates filed claims against OSG and certain of its affiliates, including two subsidiaries of OSG, Dignity Chartering Corporation ("Dignity") and Alpha Suezmax Corporation ("Alpha" and together with Dignity and OSG, the "Debtors"), for damages arising from the Debtors' rejection of the bareboat charter agreements for the Overseas Newcastle (now known as the DHT Target) and Overseas London (now known as the DHT Trader), respectively, and against OSG on account of its guarantees of the obligations of Dignity and Alpha, respectively, under each of the respective bareboat charter agreements (collectively, the "Claims").

We entered into Assignment of Claims Agreements with Citigroup Financial Products Inc. ("Citigroup") on March 14, 2013 in connection with the Claims whereby Citigroup agreed to purchase the undivided 100% interest in our right and title and interest in the Claims for a purchase price equal to 33.25% of the amount of the claim ultimately allowed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (the "Court"). We received an aggregate initial payment of approximately $6.9 million from Citigroup in the first quarter of 2013.
 
In November 2013, DHT and OSG agreed to a final claim amount of $46 million.  The amount was approved by the Court on December 19, 2013 and Citigroup made the final payment of $8.5 million on January 7, 2014.  This amount is recorded as an accounts receivables as of December 31, 2013. The final payment of $8.5 million combined with the $6.9 million paid in February 2013 totaling $15.4 million has been recorded as shipping revenues in Q4 2013.
 
Separately we filed six further claims in the amount of $3.4 million plus attorneys' fees against various affiliates of OSG, and OSG as guarantor of each claim on or about May 30, 2013. These claims have not been assigned to a third party. In November 2013 DHT and OSG agreed to a final claim amount of $1.5 million related to these claims.  The amount, timing and form of a recovery is not known and we have not recorded any amount related to a recovery in our financial statements as of December 31, 2013.


Note 11 – Subsequent Events

HHI Ship Construction Agreement
On January 8, 2014, we announced that we had declared the option to construct a VLCC at HHI with a contract price of $92.7 million, including certain additions and upgrades to the standard specification. The contractual terms are the same as for the two VLCC orders announced in December 2013. In January we paid a 20% pre-delivery installment related to this vessel totaling $18.6 million.  The remaining contract price is payable with $9.3 million in 2014, $9.3 million in 2015 and $55.6 million in 2016.
