                                   Q  Brexit seems to be

                                   doom and gloom, what   A
                                   good points could come   A 'No Deal' could cause some problems for us in the
                                   from it for DFDS?     short term. However upsides could be duty free sales. We
                                                         really don't know what the longer-term impact will be for
                                                         DFDS but we are working hard with our customers, suppliers
                                                         and ports to ensure that we come up with solutions. No
                                                         matter the outcome, we will weather the storm.

               onboard?              issue will be how easy (or difficult) it will be for individuals

                                     to enter or exit the UK to join the vessel. If this becomes
                                     problematic, we will need to consider the logistical
                                     practicalities of perhaps joining the vessel in France.

                                 A 'No Deal' Brexit is the worst
                                 case and that is what we will base
                                 everything on. We will be ready
                                 regardless of the outcome.
