Analysis · TRMD · Energy & Transportation
Oaktree Capital's OCM Njord Holdings finalized the sale of 9 million TORM Class A shares at $32.25 per share, generating $285.75 million in net proceeds for the selling shareholder. The offering reduces Oaktree's ownership from 19.85% to approximately 11.06% (or 9.74% if the underwriter's 1.35M share option is fully exercised). This is the second major Oaktree divestment in three months, following the 3.5 million share sale in June 2026, and continues the private equity firm's exit from its TORM position. The pricing at $32.25 represents a modest discount to the $35.34 last reported sale price on September 14, 2026, and the stock is trading near its 52-week high of $35.94. The 60-day lock-up agreement prevents further insider sales during that period, but the overhang from Oaktree's remaining 11.3 million shares remains a consideration for investors.
