Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we encourage you to read this proxy statement and act promptly to vote your shares by submitting your proxy (a) by telephone or the internet following the voting instructions in the
Notice of Proxy Materials or (b) by requesting printed proxy materials over the internet and then completing, signing and dating a proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided as soon as possible.
|
| Q: |
Who can I contact with questions about how to vote?
|
| A: |
If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, please contact DHT’s proxy solicitor:
|
| Q: |
Why am I receiving these materials?
|
| A: |
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of DHT Holdings, Inc. (“DHT”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with DHT’s annual meeting of
shareholders (the “annual meeting”), which will take place on June 18, 2026. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the annual meeting and are entitled and requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement.
|
| Q: |
What information is contained in this proxy statement?
|
| A: |
The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, the voting process, the compensation of DHT’s directors and executive officers and certain other information about DHT.
|
| Q: |
Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
|
| A: |
We are using the internet as the primary means of furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders. Accordingly, we are sending the Notice of Proxy Materials to each of our shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 23,
2026. The Notice of Proxy Materials contains instructions on how to access the proxy materials and vote your shares over the internet. The Notice of Proxy Materials also contains instructions on how to request a printed copy of the proxy
materials, which are first being made available to shareholders at http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/17692 on or about May 5, 2026. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by
email on an ongoing basis. If you request to receive printed proxy materials, you may still access our proxy materials and submit your proxy over the internet. Shareholders may wish to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials
on the internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting.
|
| Q: |
How may I obtain DHT’s 2025 Annual Report?
|
| A: |
Shareholders may obtain a free copy of our 2025 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F from our website at www.dhtankers.com and through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders
may request a hard copy of the audited financial statements free of charge by sending an email to info@dhtankers.com.
|
| Q: |
What items of business will be voted on at the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the annual meeting are:
|
| ● |
The election of Jeremy Kramer to the Board, as a Class I director, for a term of three years; and
|
| ● |
the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year.
|
| Q: |
How does the Board recommend that I vote?
|
| A: |
The Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the election of Jeremy Kramer to the Board and “FOR” the ratification of the independent
registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year.
|
| Q: |
What shares can I vote?
|
| A: |
Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DHT (the “Common Stock” or the “shares”), issued and outstanding as of the close of business on
April 23, 2026, the record date for the annual meeting (the “record date”), is entitled to be voted on all items of business being voted on at the annual
meeting. The record date for the annual meeting is the date used to determine both the number of shares of Common Stock that are entitled to be voted at the annual meeting and the identity of the shareholders of record and beneficial owners of those shares of Common Stock who are entitled to vote those shares at the annual meeting. On the record date for the annual meeting, there were 161,041,637 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock they hold as of such time.
|
| Q: |
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
|
| A: |
Most DHT shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
|
| Q: |
How can I attend the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a DHT shareholder as of the close of business on April 23, 2026 or if you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. You should be prepared to present photo identification for
admittance. In addition, if you are a shareholder of record, your name will be verified against the list of shareholders of record on the record date prior to your being admitted to the annual meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record
but hold shares through a broker, trustee or other nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to the record date, a copy of the voting
instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or other nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the procedures outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the
annual meeting.
|
| Q: |
How can I vote my shares in person at the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the annual meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or other nominee
that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that
your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.
|
| Q: |
How can I vote my shares without attending the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by submitting a proxy.
If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, trustee or other nominee.
|
| Q: |
Can I change my vote?
|
| A: |
You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the annual meeting. If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by granting a new proxy bearing a later date by internet, telephone or mail (which automatically
revokes the earlier proxy), by providing a written notice of revocation to DHT’s Corporate Secretary via an email received prior to your shares being voted, or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting
will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or other
nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person.
|
| Q: |
Is my vote confidential?
|
| A: |
Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within DHT or to third parties, except (1) as
necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. If shareholders provide written comments on their proxy card
directed to the Board or management, these comments will be forwarded to the Board or management, respectively.
|
| Q: |
How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
The quorum requirement for holding the annual meeting and transacting business is that holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock in DHT (“DHT Capital Stock”) issued and outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote must
be present in person or represented by proxy. As of the record date, shares of Common Stock were the only type of DHT Capital Stock issued and outstanding.
|
| Q: |
How are votes counted?
|
| A: |
In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” the nominee or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to the nominee. For the other items of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN,” the abstention has the
same effect as a vote “AGAINST.”
|
| Q: |
What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
|
| A: |
In the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), the person receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes at the annual meeting will be elected. Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power represented by the shares of DHT Capital Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on that proposal at the annual meeting.
|
| Q: |
Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?
|
| A: |
No. DHT’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that cumulative voting shall not be used in the election of directors.
|
| Q: |
What happens if additional matters are presented at the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
Other than the two items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the annual meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxyholders, Erik A. Lind, Svein Moxnes
Harfjeld, Laila C. Halvorsen and Olesya Wehlau, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If for any unforeseen reason Jeremy Kramer is not available as a candidate
for director, the persons named as proxyholders will vote your proxy for such other candidate(s) as may be nominated by the Board.
|
| Q: |
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials or Notice?
|
| A: |
You may receive more than one Notice or, if you request to receive printed proxy materials, you may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy or voting instruction
cards. For example, if you are a shareholder of record, your shares are registered in more than one name, you may receive more than one Notice. If you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate notice or
voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. To make certain all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on the Notice of Proxy Materials on how to access each proxy card and vote each
proxy card over the internet or by telephone. If you request to receive printed proxy materials and receive multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, please complete, sign, date and return each proxy
card and voting instruction card that you receive.
|
| Q: |
How may I obtain a separate set of voting materials?
|
| A: |
If you share an address with another shareholder and request a printed set of proxy materials, you may receive only one set of proxy materials unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy
materials now or in the future, please contact D.F. King, who we have retained to assist in this proxy solicitation, at:
|
| Q: |
Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
DHT will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes, including the cost of retaining D.F. King to assist with the solicitation of proxies. In addition to the
mailing of proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such
solicitation activities.
|
| Q: |
Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting?
|
| A: |
We intend to announce the preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and to publish the final results in a report on Form 6-K following the annual meeting.
|
| Q: |
What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of shareholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?
|
| A: |
You may submit proposals, including director nominations, for consideration at future shareholder meetings as indicated below.
|
| Q: |
How may I communicate with the Board?
|
| A: |
You may submit any communication intended for the Board by directing the communication by email to DHT’s Corporate Secretary at olesya.wehlau@conyers.com, with “DHT Holdings, Inc. – Attention: Erik A. Lind, Chairman” in the subject line.
