Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those
defined in the prospectus dated October 24, 2024 (the “Prospectus ”) of T.S. Lines Limited (the “Company ”).
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an
offer by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any securities of the Company. This announcement is not a
prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Company and the Global
Offering described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares. Any investment decision in
relation to the Offer Shares should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States
(including its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia). This
announcement does not, and is not intended to, constitute or form a part of any offer to sell or solicitation to purchase
or subscribe for any securities in the United States. The Offer Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act ”) or securities law of any state or
other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred within the United
States, except pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the U.S. Securities Act. There will be no public offer of the Offer Shares in the United States. The Offer Shares
are being offered and sold solely (1) in the United States to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A
under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144A or another available exemption from registration under the U.S.
Securities Act and (2) outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S.

In connection with the Global Offering, J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited as stabilizing manager (the
“Stabilizing Manager ”), its affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-allocate or
effect transactions with a view to stabilizing or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that
which might otherwise prevail in an open market for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no
obligation on the Stabilizing Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilizing action,
which, if commenced, will be conducted at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager, its affiliates or
any person acting for it, and may be discontinued at any time. Any such stabilizing activity is required to be brought
to an end on the 30th day after the last date for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such
stabilization action, if commenced, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case
in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price
Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made under the Securities and Futures
Ordinance (Chapter. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Potential investors should be aware that stabilizing actions cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer
than the stabilization period which will begin on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on the 30th day after the
last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (which is Thursday, November 28, 2024). After
this date, no further stabilizing action may be taken, and demand for the Shares and therefore the price of the Shares
could fall.
Potential investors of the Offer Shares should note that the Joint Sponsors and Overall Coordinators (for themselves
and on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters) shall be entitled to terminate the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement
with immediate effect upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in the section headed “Underwriting {
Underwriting Arrangements and Expenses { Hong Kong Public Offering { Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement {
Grounds for Termination ” in the Prospectus at any time prior to 8:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Listing Date (which
is currently expected to be on Friday, November 1, 2024).
