These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)

Note 5 – Vessels
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

DHT will pay 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 has been estimated to $21.8 million; hence $21.8 million of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million was classified as equity. The Notes will be 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 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 $6.0216 effective August 22, 2019. Based on the adjusted conversion price and after adjusting for the repurchase of $44.2 million of the convertible senior notes in the open market at an average price of 94.5% of par, and the private exchange August 2018, the total number of shares to be issued would be 5,457,009.
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”) and approximately $32.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 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 6.0442 effective May 20, 2019. Based on the adjusted conversion price the total number of shares to be issued would be 20,680,983. The 2021 Notes will mature on August 15, 2021, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.
