(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Frontline Ltd. (NYSE:FRO) ("Frontline" or the "Company") today announced that it
has entered into a private agreement to exchange $23.0 million of the
outstanding principal amount of the Company's 4.5% Convertible Bond Issue
2010/2015 (the "Bonds") for an aggregate of approximately 7.4 million shares at
an exchange price of $1.61 per share, the closing price of the Company's shares

million plus accrued interest. In addition, under the exchange agreement,

VWAP price of $1.45 per share.
