Scorpio Tankers Inc. Announces Closing of Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 and Concurrent Stock Repurchase in International Shipping News 14/05/2026 Scorpio Tankers Inc. announced yesterday that it has closed its previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) for $230,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “New Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This amount includes the full exercise of the initial purchaser’s option to purchase an additional $30,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes in connection with the Offering. The New Notes priced at 110.25% of par, plus accrued interest in the amount of approximately $1.56 per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes from, and including, April 10, 2026, to, but excluding May 12, 2026. The offering of New Notes resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $253.6 million, and a combined yield to maturity of approximately 1.0% for the aggregate series of New Notes and Initial Notes (as defined below). The New Notes were issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Company’s $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “Initial Notes” and, together with the New Notes, the “Notes”) issued on April 10, 2026 and form a part of the same series of Notes as the Initial Notes. Although the New Notes will initially trade under a different Rule 144A CUSIP number than the Initial Notes, the Company expects that once de-legended, the New Notes will trade with the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes. In conjunction with the Offering, the Company repurchased 649,427 shares of its common stock at $84.69 per share. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted or repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The interest payment to be made with respect to the New Notes on October 15, 2026, will include interest deemed to have accrued from, and including, April 10, 2026. The offering price for the New Notes includes such accrued interest. Prior to January 15, 2031, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2031, holders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Notes may be settled at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes is 9.9615 shares of common stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share (which represents a conversion premium of approximately 35% above the last reported sale price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 7, 2026). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20,
