Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG) and Double Hull Tankers, Inc. (DHT) announced that Merrill Lynch & Co. and UBS Investment Bank have exercised their option to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock of DHT. OSG granted the underwriters the 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of common stock for the purpose of covering overallotments in connection with its previously announced offering of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of DHT.
