• In August the Company declared a dividend of NOK 0.25 per share for the second
quarter. The dividend, corresponding to USD 3.1 million was paid in September
2024.
• WilForce is currently trading in a challenging spot marked with very low rates
and idle periods. With lack of visibility of earnings in the short-term the
Board decided not to declare a dividend for third quarter 2024.

Jon Skule Storheill, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“After almost two years with very strong earnings where both our vessels have
been employed on well-paying Time Charter contracts the Company has experienced
a significant drop in earnings in third quarter. WilForce is trading in the
weakest LNGC spot market experienced for years, considering this is normally
high season it is surprisingly weak. The Company’s financial position is robust
with a comfortable cash position and lowered cash break even following the
recent refinancing. Due to the present weakness and lack of visibility of
near-term earnings the board resolved to halt dividend payments until an
improvement in earnings is seen.”

Enclosed is in addition a Third quarter 2024 presentation. No physical
presentation will be held covering third quarter 2024.

Note on Alternative performance measures: Alternative performance measures are
defined and explained in the APM section of the Quarterly report.
