TORM Shareholder Launches Secondary Offering of 6.3M Shares
OCM Njord Holdings initiates a secondary public offering of over 6.3 million TORM Class A common shares on Nasdaq.
TORM plc, the Denmark-based tanker company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker TRMD, announced Monday the launch of a secondary public offering involving 6,329,874 of its Class A common shares. The shares are being sold by existing shareholder OCM Njord Holdings S.à r.l., not by TORM itself.
