Dilution Risk

The shelf permits future securities but proves neither an active ATM nor live warrants. At June 30 DHT had $161.7M cash, $434.8M debt and $273.1M net debt across 23 VLCCs. A new $250M facility matures in 2033 at SOFR plus 135 basis points; its $250M accordion is uncommitted.

SEC Filings Review

Official filings were reviewed through 2026-08-28; the table lists the decision-relevant documents rather than every routine filing. The C+ grade describes the full dossier; the trade state (wait) is a separate timing decision.
