The Vessel will be reflagged to Malaysia and is expected to ply the oil transport market within Malaysian waters. 4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS The Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and major shareholders shareholdings of Century as the Acquisition will be satisfied entirely in cash. The Acquisition will not have any material impact on the NTA of the Century Group but is expected to contribute positively to future earnings. 5.
