PROPOSAL ONE

 

ELECTION OF CLASS III DIRECTOR

 

The Company currently has five directors on its board, which is divided into three classes. As provided in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, each director is elected to serve for a three-year term and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, except in the event of removal, resignation or death prior to the annual meeting of shareholders in which such director’s term of office expires. The term of the Company’s Class III directors expires at the Meeting or whenever his successor is duly elected. Accordingly, the Board has nominated Georgios “George” Feidakis, a Class III director, for re-election as director whose term would expire at the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders or whenever his successor is duly elected.

 

Unless the proxy is marked to indicate that such authorization is expressly withheld, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the Shares authorized thereby FOR the election of the following nominee. It is expected that the nominee will be able to serve, but if before the election it develops that such nominee is unavailable, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee as the current Board may recommend.

 

Nominee for Election to the Company’s Board of Directors

 

Information concerning the nominee for director of the Company is set forth below:

PROPOSAL THREE

 

APPROVAL OF ONE OR MORE AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT ONE OR MORE REVERSE STOCK SPLITS

 

General. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval of one or more amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Amendment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix I, to effect one or more reverse stock splits of the Company’s Common Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-two and not more than one-for-20 individually, and not more than one-for-20 in the aggregate. The Board has determined that the Company may need to effect one or more reverse stock splits of its issued Common Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, whereby, except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, on the effective date, Common Shares and Series B Preferred Shares issued immediately prior thereto will be, automatically and without any action on the part of the Shareholders, combined, converted and changed into new Common Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable reverse split ratio, which shall be determined by the Board or a committee thereof in its discretion. If the Shareholders approve this Proposal Three, the Board or a committee thereof will have the authority, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, and without further action on the part of the Shareholders, on one or more occasions, to select one or more approved reverse stock split ratio or ratios and effect one or more approved reverse stock splits by filing one or more amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands at any time after the approval of this Proposal Three. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix I.

The Board believes that the Shareholders’ approval of an exchange ratio range (rather than an exact exchange ratio) provides the Board with the required flexibility to achieve the purposes of any reverse stock split. If the Shareholders approve Proposal Three, any reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board or a committee thereof that such reverse stock split is in the Company’s and the Shareholders’ best interests at that time. In connection with any determination to effect any reverse stock split, the Board, or any duly constituted committee thereof, will set the date for such a split and select a specific exchange ratio within the abovementioned range. These determinations will be made by the Board or committee thereof with the intention to create the greatest marketability of the Common Shares based upon prevailing market conditions at that time.

 

The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed with, and abandon, the reverse stock splits contemplated in this Proposal Three if it determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing this Proposal Three is not in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

 

Purpose. The purpose of any reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading value of the Company’s Common Shares by consolidating the number of outstanding Common Shares. The Board believes that the increased market price of the Common Shares expected as a result of implementing a reverse stock split will improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Shares and will encourage interest and trading in the Common Shares. In addition, the Company believes that effecting a reverse stock split will help to ensure compliance with the bid price requirements to maintain the listing of the Company’s Common Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq has several listing criteria that companies must satisfy in order to maintain their listing. One of these criteria is that the Company’s Common Shares have a minimum closing bid price that is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share.

 

11

 

 

The Company and the Board believe that maintaining the listing of the Common Shares on Nasdaq is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and therefore proposes to undertake one or more reverse stock splits to cause the Common Shares to remain trading in compliance with Nasdaq’s bid price requirements , if and when needed.

 

In addition, the Company believes that a number of institutional investors and investment funds are reluctant to invest, and in some cases may be prohibited from investing, in lower-priced stocks and that brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients. Other investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower-priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for lower-priced stocks. A higher stock price after a reverse stock split could alleviate these concerns. By effecting a reverse stock split, we believe we may be able to raise the price of the Company’s Common Shares to a level where the Common Shares could be viewed more favorably by potential investors.

 

The combination of maintaining the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq and the lower transaction costs and increased interest from institutional investors and investment funds could have the effect of improving the trading liquidity and price of the Company’s Common Shares.

 

Nasdaq has several listing criteria that companies must satisfy in order to maintain their listing. One of these criteria is that the Common Shares have a minimum bid price that is greater than or equal to

$1.00 per share, and if the Company fails to maintain such $1.00 minimum bid price for a period of 30 consecutive business days, under Nasdaq rules, the Company would have to regain compliance during the applicable grace period. If the Company’s common stock is below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing for 30 consecutive business day, the Company will not be in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and will receive a written notification from Nasdaq. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days from such notification. A second grace period of 180 days may be granted by Nasdaq. If the Company is afforded the second 180-day compliance period but fails to regain compliance during that period, Nasdaq will issue a Delisting Determination letter under Rule 5810 and the Company’s Common Shares will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq during the pendency of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel’s review. The Company believes that by effecting a reverse stock split, it will help stabilize the price of the Common Shares to maintain compliance with the listing requirement. In addition, if the Company has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for a period of 10 consecutive trading days during any compliance period, Nasdaq would also issue a Delisting Determination letter. In the event of receiving a Delisting Determination letter, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its Common Shares. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification.

 

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has NOT received a deficiency notice from the Staff at Nasdaq.

 

In addition, because the number of authorized Common Shares, which is currently 500,000,000 under the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, would not decrease in accordance with the selected exchange ratio(s) of any reverse stock split, if implemented, the reverse stock split(s) would decrease the number of issued shares of Common Shares and thus provide us with additional Common Shares, which would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as acquisitions of companies or assets, sales of stock or securities convertible into Common Shares and raising additional capital.

 

12

 

 

You should consider that, although the Board believes that a reverse stock split should increase the price of the Company’s Common Shares or maintain the overall value, in many cases, because of variables outside of a company’s control (such as market volatility, investor response to the news of a proposed reverse stock split and the general economic environment), the market price of a company’s shares of common stock could decline in value after a reverse stock split. You should also keep in mind that the implementation of a reverse stock split does not have a direct effect on the actual or intrinsic value of the Company’s business or a shareholder’s proportional ownership in the Company (subject to changes based on the fractional shares discussion below). However, should the overall value of the Company’s Common Shares decline after the proposed reverse stock split, then the actual or intrinsic value of the Common Shares held by you will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value. There also can be no assurance that the price per share of the Common Shares immediately after any reverse stock split, if implemented, will increase proportionately with the reverse stock split ratio, or that any increase will be sustained for any period of time.

 

The Board may effect one or more reverse stock splits in connection with this Proposal Three. The Board believes that shareholder approval of an aggregate exchange ratio (rather than an exact exchange ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of one or more reverse stock splits. In addition, the Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed, and abandon, any reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing this Proposal Three, or a particular reverse stock split, is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or Series B Preferred Shares will be created or issued in connection with any reverse stock split. Shareholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional Common Shares as a consequence of a reverse stock split will be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing such Common Shares or, in the case of non-certificated Common Shares, such proof of ownership as required by the exchange agent, to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the shareholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per Common Share on the Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split, as adjusted for the reverse stock split as appropriate or, if such price is not available, or in the case of Series B Preferred Shares, a price to be determined by the Board. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder of any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment therefor as described herein.

 

Authorized Common Shares and Par Value. A reverse stock split will not result in a change in the number of authorized Common Shares or par value of the Common Shares. Because the Company’s authorized number of Common Shares, which is currently 500,000,000 Common Shares under the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, will not decrease in accordance with a reverse stock split, effecting a reverse stock split would provide the Company with additional Common Shares, which would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as acquisitions of companies or assets, sales of stock or securities convertible into Common Shares and raising additional capital.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Company’s Common Shares. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which may be subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary only addresses holders who hold their shares as capital assets within the meaning of the Code and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to U.S. Holders subject to special tax treatment, such as financial institutions, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, partnerships, S corporations, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, persons that own shares as part of a hedge, straddle, or conversion transaction, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, expatriates, tax-exempt entities and investors that own, directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more of the Company’s stock by vote or value. In addition, this summary does not consider the effects of U.S. federal alternative minimum tax or estate or gift tax consequences, or any applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws, and does not address the U.S. federal income consequences of a reverse stock split to persons who are not U.S. Holders.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Common Shares that is a U.S. citizen or resident, a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

 

If a partnership holds the Company’s Common Shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding the Company’s Common Shares, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisor.

 

We have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), or an opinion from counsel with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below. There can be no assurance that the tax consequences discussed below would be accepted by the IRS or a court. The authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, and it is therefore possible that the U.S. federal income tax treatment may differ from the treatment described below.

 

We urge holders to consult with their own tax advisors as to any U.S. federal, state, or local or foreign tax consequences applicable to them that could result from a reverse stock split.

 

A reverse stock split is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and is not intended to be part of a plan to increase periodically a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s earnings and profits. Assuming a reverse stock split so qualifies, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

 

·A U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss on the reverse stock split (except for cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional Common Share);

 

·The U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis of the Common Shares received pursuant to the reverse stock split, including any fractional Common Share not actually received, should be equal to the aggregate tax basis of such holder’s Common Shares surrendered in the exchange;

 

·The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares received pursuant to the reverse stock split should include such holder’s holding period for the Common Shares surrendered in the exchange; and

 

·Cash payments received by the U.S. Holder for a fractional Common Share generally should be treated as if such fractional share had been issued pursuant to the reverse stock split and then redeemed by us, and such U.S. Holder generally should recognize capital gain or loss with respect to such payment, measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such fractional share. However, in certain circumstances, it is possible that the cash received in lieu of a fractional share could be characterized as a dividend for such purposes. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax adviser on the treatment of the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares in their specific situation.

 

14

 

 

U.S. Holders will be required to provide their social security or other taxpayer identification numbers (or, in some instances, additional information) to the exchange agent in connection with a reverse stock split to avoid backup withholding requirements that might otherwise apply. This information is generally provided on IRS Form W-9 or a substitute form. Failure to provide such information may result in backup withholding at a rate of 24%.

 

THE FOREGOING IS A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO U.S. HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES UNDER CURRENT LAW AND IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS ALL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OR TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THE TAX LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS OR THAT MAY APPLY TO PARTICULAR CATEGORIES OF SHAREHOLDERS. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO YOU, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND THE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAX LAWS THAT MAY AFFECT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED ABOVE.

 

Procedures for Effecting Reverse Stock Split. As soon as practicable after the effective date of any reverse stock split, the Company’s shareholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. The Company expects that its transfer agent, Computershare, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of share certificates for Common Shares. The Company will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange for Series B Preferred Shares. Holders of pre-split certificated Common Shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-split Common Shares in exchange for post-split Common Shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal the Company will send to its registered shareholders. No new share certificates will be issued to shareholders, and any shareholder submitting a stock certificate will receive uncertificated shares in return. Any pre-split Common Shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split Common Shares.

 

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

 

Shareholders holding shares in book-entry form with the transfer agent need not take any action to receive post-split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable. If a Shareholder is entitled to post-split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the Shareholder’s address of record indicating the number of Shares held following the reverse stock split.

 

15

 

 

Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect a reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding shares in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures from those that apply to registered shareholders for processing the reverse stock split and making payment for fractional shares. If a shareholder holds shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, shareholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.

 

Required Vote. Approval of Proposal Three requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by Shareholders entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of votes “against” Proposal Three.

 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL THREE, THE APPROVAL OF ONE OR MORE AMENDMENTS TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT ONE OR MORE REVERSE STOCK SPLITS. UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH APPROVAL UNLESS A CONTRARY VOTE IS SPECIFIED.

 

16

 

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

The Board knows of no other business that may properly come before the Meeting; however, if other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment. In the event a Shareholder specifies a different choice by means of the Shareholder’s proxy, the Shareholder’s shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made.
