KNIGHTSBRIDGE TANKERS LIMITED
ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF
SHAREHOLDER VOTE TO CONTINUE THE COMPANY
IN BUSINESS
Hamilton, Bermuda, September 26, 2003. Knightsbridge Tankers Limited (the
"Company") today announced that based on preliminary results from its special
shareholders meeting this morning, the Company's shareholders have voted by an
overwhelming majority to continue the Company in business. The alternative had
been to sell the Company's five very large crude carriers (VLCCs) on the
scheduled expiration of their charters with Shell International Petroleum
Company Limited in the first quarter of 2004. Following consideration of the
first proposal, the meeting has been adjourned to a time, date and place to be
announced by press release pending receipt of the official vote on proposal 1.
Assuming the official vote confirms the decision to continue the Company in
business, the reconvened meeting will consider the proposal to amend the
Company's bye-laws to remove the current restrictions on the Company's business
activities.
Shareholders may continue to submit proxies on the proposal to amend the
bye-laws up to the time the meeting is reconvened. The Board of Directors
reiterated its recommendation in favor of the proposal and urged the
shareholders who have not yet submitted proxies to do so. The affirmative vote
of holders of two-thirds of the Company's outstanding shares is required to
approve the bye-law amendments.
Shareholders may contact Mellon Investor Services directly at 1 (877) 688-7273
with any questions with respect to voting.
The Company's common shares trade on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"VLCCF".
