EXPLANATORY NOTE
Knightsbridge Tankers Limited is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form F-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-164007), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 15, 2010 (the "Registration Statement"), solely for the purpose of revising the section to the Registration Statement entitled "Part II – Information Not Required in the Prospectus – Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers." No other changes have been made to the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 98 of the Companies Act of 1981 of the Islands of Bermuda, as amended, or the Companies Act, permits the Bye-Laws of a Bermuda company to contain a provision eliminating personal liability of a director or officer to the company for any loss arising or liability attaching to him by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, of which the officer or person may be guilty.
Section 98 of the Companies Act grants companies the power generally to indemnify directors and officers of the company if any such person was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director and officer of the company or was serving in a similar capacity for another entity at the company's request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 98 of the Companies Act further provides that any provision, whether contained in the bye-laws of a company or in any contract or arrangement between the company and any director or officer exempting such director or officer from, or indemnifying him against, any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to him in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of which he may be guilty in relation to the company is void.
Section 98A of the Companies Act permits a company to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of an officer or director for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the company has the power to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.
Bye-laws number 124 through 126 of Knightsbridge Tankers Limited, or the Company, provide as follows:
124. | Subject to the proviso below, every Director, officer of the Company and member of a committee constituted under Bye-Law 92 shall be indemnified out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities, loss, damage or expense (including but not limited to liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable) incurred or suffered by him as such Director, officer or committee member and the indemnity contained in this Bye-Law shall extend to any person acting as a Director, officer or committee member in the reasonable belief that he has been so appointed or elected notwithstanding any defect in such appointment or election PROVIDED ALWAYS that the indemnity contained in this Bye-Law shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Acts. |
125. | Every Director, officer and member of a committee duly constituted under Bye-Law 92 of the Company shall be indemnified out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities incurred by him as such Director, officer or committee member in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favour, or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Acts in which relief from liability is granted to him by the court. |
126. | To the extent that any Director, officer or member of a committee duly constituted under Bye-Law 92 is entitled to claim an indemnity pursuant to these Bye-Laws in respect of amounts paid or discharged by him, the relative indemnity shall take effect as an obligation of the Company to reimburse the person making such payment or effecting such discharge. |
