AGENDA
Annual General Meeting of Directors and Shareholders of
Aktieselskabet Dampskibsselskabet TORM
to be held on
Wednesday, 9 April 2003 at 10:00 hours
at "Bojesen pa Axelborg"
Vesterbrogade 4 A

* * *
1. Report by the Board of Directors on the Company's activities during the
year under review.
2. Tabling of annual report for adoption by the meeting.
3. The Board of Directors' proposal as to application of profit or covering
of losses according to the annual report as adopted.
4. Election of Directors.
5. Election of Auditors.
6. a. Proposal from the Board of Directors to amend the Articles of
Association as follows:
1) "Accounts" is to be replaced by "Annual Report" in Articles
3(6) and 9(4). "Annual Accounts" is to be replaced by "Annual
Report" in Articles 6(1)(ii)-(iii), 9(3) and 12(6). The
amendments are of an editorial nature only in consequence of
the new "arsregnskabslov" (the Danish Financial Statements
Act).
2) Article 2(3) that reads: "A share certificate may comprise
several shares" is proposed to be deleted as the shares are
issued electronically through the Danish Securities Centre and
not by issuance of share certificates. Included in the proposal
is a consequential renumbering of the sub-articles within
Article 2 and a correction of the reference in the existing
Article 2(5).
3) Change of the means of notice of meetings by deletion of the
references to "the Danish Official Gazette" in Articles 5(6)
and 7(3).
4) Correction of the reference in Article 9(6) from "the first
paragraph" to "the second paragraph".
b. The Board of Directors proposes that it be authorised to let the
Company acquire its own shares in the period until the next Annual
Meeting within 10 per cent of the issued share capital at the market
price prevailing at the time of acquisition subject to a deviation
of up to 10 per cent.
7. Any other business.
The general meeting is only legally competent to transact business when at
least 1/3 of the share capital is represented, cf. Article 9(1) in the
Articles of Association of the Company.
Approval or adoption of the proposals under items 2-5 requires simple
majority, cf. Article 9(2) in the Articles of Association of the Company,
whereas adoption of the proposals under items 6a. and b. requires assent from
at least two-thirds of the votes casted as well as of the voting share capital
represented at the general meeting, cf. Article 9(3) in the Articles of
Association and Section 78 of the Danish Companies Act.
Notice convening the annual general meeting will be sent to all shareholders
entered in the Company's register of shareholders and/or to all ADR-holders
who have registered their holdings with the Company on request.
The agenda and the complete proposals will be available for review at the
offices of the Company at least 8 days prior to the annual general meeting.
Admission cards to the annual general meeting can be obtained against
presentation of appropriate proof of identification (VP reference number) not
