Contact N. E. Nielsen, Chairman, tel.: +45 72 27 00 00 SAFE HARBOUR STATEMENT - FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although TORM believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, TORM cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand for "tonne miles" of crude oil carried by oil tankers, the effect of changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in TORM's operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations including requirements for double hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by TORM with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including the TORM Annual Report on Form 20-F and its reports on Form 6-K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA Annual general meeting of directors and shareholders of Aktieselskabet Dampskibsselskabet TORM (CVR NO 22460218) to be held on Wednesday, 19 April 2006 at 10:00 hours at Radisson SAS Falconer Falkoner Alle 9 DK-2000 Frederiksberg *** 1. Directors' report on the activities of the Company in the past year. 2. Presentation for adoption of the annual report. 3. The Board of Directors' proposal for the appropriation of profits or provision for losses in accordance with the adopted annual report. The Board of Directors proposes that out of the net profit of DKK 1,795 million an amount of DKK 837 million is paid in dividends, corresponding to DKK 23 per share with a nominal value of DKK 10, while the remaining DKK 958 million are proposed to be carried forward. 4. Election of members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Rex Harrington retires because of age. The Board of Directors proposes election of Mr. Nicos Zouvelos, Greece.

The Board of Directors proposes a reduction of the number of auditors elected from two to one, cf. section 14(1) of the Articles of Association and proposes re-election, only, of: Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionsaktieselskab. 6. Proposals from the Board of Directors: a. Extension of the duration of the authorisation for increase of the share capital, cf. Article 2.3 of the Articles of Association, so that it is being prolonged from 1 April 2010 to 1 April 2011. The proposal implies that in Article 2.3 of the Articles of Association "1 April 2010" is replaced by "1 April 2011". The proposal is motivated by a wish for maintaining the extent of the authorisation as regards duration compared to the circumstances prevailing when the authorisation was adopted at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company on 13 March 2002. b. Authorisation to the Board of Directors to let the Company acquire its own shares in the period until the next annual general meeting within 10 per cent of the issued share capital at the market price prevailing at the time of acquisition subject to a deviation of up to 10 per cent. c.

Any other business and notices. * * * * * The general meeting is only legally competent to transact business when at least 1/3 of the share capital is represented, cf. Article 9(1) of the Articles of Association of the Company. Approval or adoption of the proposals under items 2 - 5 and item 6 b-c requires simple majority, cf. Article 9(2) of the Articles of Association of the Company.
