The conversion from a passive Schedule 13G to an active Schedule 13D by Geveran Trading Co. Limited and its affiliates, representing a 42.74% stake, indicates a significant shift in their investment strategy towards Flex LNG Ltd. This move, coupled with the appointment of Mikkel Storm Weum, an investment director from a related entity, to the company's board, suggests the reporting persons intend to exert greater influence over the company's management and policies. The filing explicitly states they may be deemed to have control and lists a broad range of potential future actions, including extraordinary corporate transactions and changes to the company's structure. Most notably, the company's Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2025, approved the delisting of its common shares from the Oslo Stock Exchange, a major corporate action that could impact liquidity and investor access.
