Future sales of the Shares could adversely affect the market price of the Shares.<br />
Immediately after the Offering, assuming that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full,<br />
approximately 25.0 percent of the Shares will be held by investors in the Offering. If the Over-Allotment Option<br />
is exercised in full, approximately 27.5 percent of the Shares will be held by investors in the Offering. We may<br />
issue additional Shares at any time after the Offering, subject to the terms of the lock-up that we have agreed<br />
upon with the Managers. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares, or issuance of additional Shares after the expiry<br />
of the relevant lock-up periods, or the perception that such sales or issues could occur, could adversely affect<br />
prevailing market prices for the Shares. See “Plan of Distribution.”<br />
We cannot assure you that <strong>Tallink</strong> will pay any dividend on the Shares.<br />
There is no assurance that <strong>Tallink</strong> will pay dividends on the Shares, nor is there any assurance as to the<br />
amount of any dividend it might pay. The payment and the amount of any dividend will be subject to the<br />
discretion of <strong>Tallink</strong>’s management board, supervisory council and, ultimately, the general meeting of our<br />
shareholders and will depend on available cash balances, anticipated cash needs, our results of operations, our<br />
financial condition and any loan agreement restrictions binding us or our subsidiaries as well as other relevant<br />
factors. See “Dividends and Dividend Policy.”<br />
If securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business, the price of<br />
the Shares and trading volume could decline.<br />
The trading market for the Shares will depend on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts<br />
may publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the<br />
analysts who cover us downgrade their ratings of the Shares, the price of the Shares may decline. If one or more<br />
of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility<br />
in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price of the Shares or trading volume to decline.<br />
It may not be possible for you to enforce U.S. judgments against us.<br />
<strong>Tallink</strong> is incorporated in Estonia. Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition<br />
and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters sets forth a requirement that judgments of the<br />
courts of the member states of the European Union (except for Denmark) should be recognized and enforced in<br />
Estonia. However, Estonia is not a party to the Brussels Convention or the Lugano Convention on jurisdiction<br />
and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, recognition and<br />
enforcement in Estonia of judgments of all other foreign courts is regulated by the Estonian Code of Civil<br />
Procedure. Pursuant to Article 377(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, judgments of foreign courts are recognized<br />
by Estonian courts in accordance with international treaties concluded by Estonia. Estonia has concluded<br />
international agreements on the recognition or enforcement of judgments of the relevant courts with the Russian<br />
Federation, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. Currently, judgments of courts of jurisdictions not listed<br />
above are not enforceable in Estonia without re-litigation of the subject matter of such judgments on their merits.<br />
In addition, substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries are located outside the United<br />
States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to serve process within the United States upon<br />
<strong>Tallink</strong>, or to enforce your judgment upon <strong>Tallink</strong> for civil liabilities in U.S. courts.<br />
