IMPORTANT NOTICE TO U.S. HOLDERS

The proposed business combination is made for the securities of Bruton, a non-U.S. company, by means of the merger. The merger is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of a foreign country that are different from those of the U.S. The financial information relating to Bruton contained in the documents disseminated in connection with the merger, if any, have been prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements and financial information of U.S. companies.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Bruton securities to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under the federal securities laws of the U.S., since Bruton is incorporated in a non-U.S. jurisdiction and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

You should be aware that International Seaways, Inc. ("INSW") has acquired Bruton securities through privately negotiated purchases and may also purchase Bruton securities otherwise than pursuant to the merger, such as in open market purchases.

The issuance of INSW common shares in the merger will be made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 802 thereunder. In accordance with this exemption, with respect to the new INSW common shares to be issued in the merger, INSW will furnish to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form CB any informational document it publishes or otherwise disseminates to holders of Bruton securities in connection with the merger.

Investors and holders of Bruton securities are urged to read the Form CB, informational documents and all other relevant documents furnished to the SEC in connection with the merger, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents. You are able to obtain a free copy of the Form CB and any other informational documents, as well as other related documents, at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).

The receipt of cash or stock consideration in connection with the merger may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws. Holders of Bruton securities are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the merger.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
