Hapag-Lloyd welcomes the unconditional clearance under Brazilian merger
regulations for the planned integration of the container shipping

Hapag-Lloyd and CSAV signed a binding business combination agreement in
April. Its implementation is subject to the approval of regulatory
authorities. Among others, the Department of Justice of the United States,
the European Union (EU) and Chile have already cleared the planned
transaction. Approvals of a few jurisdictions are still pending.

The transaction will make Hapag-Lloyd the fourth largest container shipping
company in the world, with some 200 vessels, an annual transport volume of
7.5 million TEU and a combined turnover of approx. 9 billion Euro.
