Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business

The spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, in 2020 has caused substantial disruptions in the global economy and the shipping industry, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets, the severity and duration of which remains uncertain.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold and may have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial performance and the results of its operations, including due to decreased demand for global seaborne container trade and containership charter rates, which was mainly experienced in the first half of 2020. The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods.

Impact of the war in Ukraine on the Company’s Business

The extent of the impact will depend largely on future developments.
