CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact.  In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.  The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “possible”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “should”, “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties.  Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.  As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.

Many of these statements are based on our assumptions about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described more fully in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors”. Any of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. In addition to these important factors, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include among other things:

• changes in shipping industry trends, including charter rates, vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand;

• changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns;

• changes in the supply of or demand for dry bulk commodities, including dry bulk commodities carried by sea, generally or in particular regions;

• changes in the number of newbuildings under construction in the dry bulk shipping industry;

• changes in the useful lives and the value of our vessels and the related impact on our compliance with loan covenants;

• the aging of our fleet and increases in operating costs;

• changes in our ability to complete future, pending or recent acquisitions or dispositions;

• our ability to achieve successful utilization of our expanded fleet;

• changes to our financial condition and liquidity, including our ability to pay amounts that we owe and obtain additional financing to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate activities;

• risks related to our business strategy, areas of possible expansion or expected capital spending or operating expenses;

• changes in our ability to leverage the relationships and reputation in the dry bulk shipping industry of V.Ships Limited, or V.Ships, our technical manager, and Fidelity Marine Inc., or Fidelity, our commercial manager;

• changes in the availability of crew, number of off-hire days, classification survey requirements and insurance costs for the vessels in our fleet;

• changes in our relationships with our contract counterparties, including the failure of any of our contract counterparties to comply with their agreements with us;

• loss of our customers, charters or vessels;

• damage to our vessels;

• potential liability from future litigation and incidents involving our vessels;

• our future operating or financial results;

• acts of terrorism and other hostilities;

• changes in global and regional economic and political conditions;

• changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, particularly with respect to the dry bulk shipping industry;

• our ability to continue as a going concern; and

• other factors discussed in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors”.

Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward looking statements.  Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects, on us. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable laws.  If one or more forward-looking statements are updated, no inference should be drawn that additional updates will be made with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

D. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

Some of the following risks relate principally to the industry in which we operate and others relate to our business in general or our common stock.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected and the trading price of our securities could decline.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

The market values of our vessels may decrease, which could limit the amount of funds that we can borrow or trigger certain financial covenants under our loan agreements, and we may incur an impairment or, if we sell vessels following a decline in their market value, a loss.

The fair market values of our vessels are related to prevailing freight charter rates. While the fair market value of vessels and the freight charter market have a very close relationship as the charter market moves from trough to peak, the time lag between the effect of charter rates on market values of ships can vary. A decrease in the market value of our vessels could require us to raise additional capital in order to remain compliant with our loan covenants and could result in the loss of our vessels (including, through foreclosure by our lenders) and adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

2

The fair market value of our vessels may increase or decrease, and we expect the market values to fluctuate depending on a number of factors including:

• prevailing level of charter rates;

• general economic and market conditions affecting the shipping industry, including changes in global dry cargo commodity supply;

• types and sizes of vessels;

• number of newbuilding deliveries;

• number of vessels scrapped or otherwise removed from the world fleet;

• changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful life of vessels;

• decreased costs and increases in use of other modes of transportation;

• cost of newbuildings or secondhand vessel acquisitions;

• governmental and other regulations;

• technological advances; and

• the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing ships to respond to technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise.

In addition, as vessels grow older, they generally decline in value. If the fair market value of our vessels declines, we may not be in compliance with certain covenants in our loan agreements, and our lenders could accelerate our indebtedness or require us to pay down our indebtedness to a level where we are again in compliance with our loan covenants. If any of our loans are accelerated, we may not be able to refinance our debt or obtain additional funding. We expect that we will enter into more loan agreements in connection with our future acquisitions of vessels.  For more information regarding our current loan facilities, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loan Arrangements – Credit Facilities.”

In addition, if vessel values decline, we may have to record an impairment adjustment in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our financial results. Furthermore, if we sell one or more of our vessels at a time when vessel prices have fallen, the sale price may be less than the vessel’s carrying value on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in a loss on sale or an impairment loss being recognized, leading to a reduction in earnings.

3

Charter hire rates for dry bulk vessels are volatile and have declined significantly since their historic highs and may remain at low levels or decrease in the future, which may adversely affect our earnings, revenue and profitability and our ability to comply with our loan covenants.

The downturn in recent years in the dry bulk charter market, from which we derive substantially all of our revenues, has affected the dry bulk shipping industry and has harmed our business. The Baltic Dry Index, or BDI, declined from a high of 11,793 in May 2008 to a low of 290 in February 10, 2016, which represents a decline of 98%. In 2019, the BDI ranged from a low of 595 on February 11, 2019 to a high of 2,518 on September 4, 2019, and during 2020 the BDI has ranged from a high of 976 on January 2, 2020 to a low of 411 on February 10, 2020.

The decline and volatility in charter rates has been due to various factors, including the over-supply of dry bulk vessels, the lack of trade financing for purchases of commodities carried by sea, which resulted in a significant decline in cargo shipments, and trade disruptions caused by natural or other disasters, such as those that resulted from the dam collapse in Brazil in 2019 and the recent outbreak of the coronavirus infection in China. Dry bulk charter rates remain at depressed levels and may decline further. These circumstances have had adverse consequences from time to time for dry bulk shipping, including, among other developments:

• decrease in available financing for vessels;

• no active secondhand market for the sale of vessels;

• charterers seeking to renegotiate the rates for existing time charters;

• widespread loan covenant defaults in the dry bulk shipping industry due to the substantial decrease in vessel values; and

• declaration of bankruptcy by some operators, charterers and vessel owners.

The degree of charter hire rate volatility among different types of dry bulk vessels has varied widely. If we enter into a charter when charter hire rates are low, our revenues and earnings will be adversely affected and we may not be able to successfully charter our vessels at rates sufficient to allow us to operate our business profitably or meet our obligations. Further, if low charter rates in the dry bulk market continue or decline further for any significant period, this could have an adverse effect on our vessel values and ability to comply with the financial covenants in our loan agreements. In such a situation, unless our lenders were willing to provide waivers of covenant compliance or modifications to our covenants, our lenders could accelerate our debt and we could face the loss of our vessels.

The recent outbreak of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus, or other epidemics, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

          Our financial and operating performance may be adversely affected by the on-going novel coronavirus outbreak or other epidemics or pandemics.  As a result of the spread of the coronavirus, several countries have imposed quarantine checks on arriving vessels, which have caused delays in loading and delivery of cargoes. It is possible that charterers could assert a right to invoke force majeure clauses as a result of such delays or other disruptions.  Delays have also been reported at Chinese shipyards for newbuildings, drydocks and other works. In addition, the measures taken by the Chinese government in response to the outbreak, which included numerous factory closures and restrictions on travel, as well as potential labor shortages resulting from the outbreak, has slowed production in China and in other regions relying on Chinese production or raw materials, and is expected to decrease the level of export and import of goods from such regions. Similar measures taken by governments in other countries may further slow global trade. Even though it is too early to assess the full impacts of the coronavirus outbreak on global markets, and particularly on the shipping industry, the spread of the coronavirus has already added, and could continue to add, pressure to dry bulk shipping freight rates and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

4

We are mostly dependent on spot or index-linked charters and any decrease in spot charter rates or indexes in the future may adversely affect our earnings.

We currently operate four of our vessels in the spot market, exposing us to fluctuations in spot market charter rates. The other six are employed on time charters whose daily rates are linked to the Baltic Capesize Index, or BCI. Furthermore, we may employ any additional vessels that we may acquire in the spot market or on index-linked time charters.

Although the number of vessels in our fleet that participate in the spot market or have index-linked charters will vary from time to time, we anticipate that a significant portion of our fleet will be affected by the spot market or the BCI. As a result, our financial performance will be significantly affected by conditions in the dry bulk spot market or the BCI and only our vessels that would operate under fixed-rate time charters would, during the period in which such vessels operate under such time charters, provide a fixed source of revenue to us.

Historically, spot charter rates and dry bulk charter indices have been volatile as a result of the many conditions and factors that can affect the price, supply of and demand for dry bulk capacity. The successful operation of our vessels in the competitive spot charter market depends upon, among other things, obtaining profitable spot charters and minimizing, to the extent possible, time spent waiting for charters and time spent traveling unladen to pick up cargo. The spot market is very volatile, and, in the past, there have been periods when spot rates have declined below the operating cost of vessels. If future spot charter rates or the BCI decline, then we may be unable to operate our vessels trading in the spot market or on BCI-linked charters profitably or to meet our other obligations, including payments on indebtedness. Furthermore, as charter rates for spot charters are fixed for a single voyage, which may last up to several weeks, during periods in which spot charter rates are rising, we will generally experience delays in realizing the benefits from such increases.

An over-supply of dry bulk vessel capacity may prolong or further depress the current low charter rates and, in turn, adversely affect our profitability.

The market supply of dry bulk vessels had increased due to the high level of new deliveries in the last years. Dry bulk newbuildings were delivered in significant numbers starting at the beginning of 2006 and continued to be delivered in significant numbers through 2017. In addition, the dry bulk newbuilding orderbook, which extends to 2023, equaled approximately 9.10% of the existing world dry bulk fleet as of February 14, 2020, according to Clarksons Research, and the orderbook may increase further in proportion to the existing fleet. Even though the overall level of the orderbook has declined over the past years, an over-supply of dry bulk vessel capacity could prolong the period during which low charter rates prevail. Factors that influence the supply of vessel capacity include:

• number of new vessel deliveries;

• scrapping rate of older vessels;

• vessel casualties;

• price of steel;

• number of vessels that are out of service;

• changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful life of vessels; and

• port or canal congestion.

If dry bulk vessel capacity increases but the demand for vessel capacity does not increase or increases at a slower rate, charter rates could materially decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If economic conditions throughout the world decline, it will negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and could cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

The world economy is facing a number of actual and potential challenges, including current trade tension between the United States and China, political instability in the Middle East and the South China Sea region and other geographic countries and areas, geopolitical events such as the withdrawal of the U.K. from the European Union, or Brexit, protests in Hong Kong, terrorist or other attacks, war (or threatened war) or international hostilities, such as those between the United States and North Korea or Iran, and epidemics or pandemics, such as the on-going novel coronavirus outbreak. Such events may contribute to economic instability in global financial markets or cause a decrease in worldwide demand for certain goods and, thus, shipping. We cannot predict how long current market conditions will last.

The European Union, or EU, and other parts of the world were recently in a recession and uncertainty surrounds the potential for continued economic growth. Moreover, there is uncertainty related to certain European member countries’ ability to refinance their sovereign debt, including Greece, despite the country’s return to the sovereign debt markets in 2019. As a result, the credit markets in the United States and Europe have experienced significant contraction, deleveraging and reduced liquidity, and the U.S. federal and state governments and European authorities have implemented a broad variety of governmental action and new regulation of the financial markets and may implement additional regulations in the future. As a result, global economic conditions and global financial markets have been, and continue to be, volatile. Further, credit markets and the debt and equity capital markets have been distressed and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the global credit markets has resulted in reduced access to credit worldwide.

In addition, the recent economic slowdown in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in China, may exacerbate the effect of the weak economic trends in the rest of the world. Before the global economic financial crisis that began in 2008, China had one of the world’s fastest growing economies in terms of gross domestic product, or GDP, which had a significant impact on shipping demand. The quarterly year-over-year growth rate of China’s GDP was approximately 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019, decreasing from 6.6% in 2018 and continuing to remain below pre-2008 levels. It is possible that China and other countries in the Asia Pacific region will continue to experience slowed or even negative economic growth in the near future. Moreover, the current economic slowdown in the economies of the EU and in certain Asian countries may further adversely affect economic growth in China and elsewhere. Our results of operations and ability to grow our fleet could be impeded by a continuing or worsening economic downturn in any of these countries or geographic regions.

Furthermore, governments may turn to trade barriers to protect their domestic industries against foreign imports, thereby depressing shipping demand. In particular, as indicated, the United States is seeking to implement more protective trade measures. The current U.S. President was elected on a platform promoting trade protectionism. The outcome of the 2016 presidential election has, thus, created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China and other exporting countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. On January 23, 2017, the U.S. President signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global trade agreement intended to include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru and a number of Asian countries. In March 2018, the U.S. President announced tariffs on imported steel and aluminum into the United States, which were recently expanded to include certain products made of steel and aluminum, that could have a negative impact on international trade generally. In addition, beginning in 2019, the United States imposed sanctions against the Government of Venezuela and its state-owned oil subsidiary, which had an effect on Venezuela’s oil output and in turn affected global oil supply. Protectionist developments, or the perception that they may occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade. Moreover, increasing trade protectionism may cause an increase in (i) the cost of goods exported from regions globally, particularly the Asia-Pacific region, (ii) the length of time required to transport goods and (iii) the risks associated with exporting goods. Such increases may further reduce the quantity of goods to be shipped, shipping time schedules, voyage costs and other associated costs, which could have an adverse impact on our charterers’ business, operating results and financial condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely charter hire payments to us and to renew and increase the number of their time charters with us. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We face risks attendant to the trends in the global economy, such as changes in interest rates, instability in the banking and securities markets around the world, the risk of sovereign defaults, reduced levels of growth, and trade protectionism, among other factors. Major market disruptions and the current adverse changes in market conditions and regulatory climate worldwide may adversely affect our business or impair our ability to borrow under our loan agreements or any future financial arrangements. We cannot predict how long the current market conditions will last. However, these recent and developing economic and governmental factors, together with depressed charter rates and vessel values, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows and the trading price of our common stock. In the absence of available financing, we may also be unable to complete vessel acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

Risks associated with operating ocean-going vessels could affect our business and reputation, which could adversely affect our revenues and expenses.

The operation of an ocean-going vessel carries inherent risks.  These risks include the possibility of:

• crew strikes and/or boycotts;

• the damage or destruction of vessels due to marine disaster;

• piracy or other detentions;

• environmental accidents;

• cargo and property losses or damage; and

• business interruptions caused by mechanical failure, human error, war, terrorism, political action in various countries, labor strikes or adverse weather conditions.

Any of these circumstances or events could increase our costs or lower our revenues. Such circumstances could result in death or injury to persons, loss of property or environmental damage, delays in the delivery of cargo, loss of revenues from or termination of charter contracts, governmental fines, penalties or restrictions on conducting business, litigation with our employees, customers or third parties, higher insurance rates, and damage to our reputation and customer relationships generally. Although we maintain hull and machinery and war risks insurance, as well as protection and indemnity insurance, which may cover certain risks of loss resulting from such occurrences, our insurance coverage may be subject to deductibles, caps or not cover such losses and any of these circumstances or events could increase our costs or lower our revenues. The involvement of our vessels in an environmental disaster may harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our cash flows.

Rising fuel prices may adversely affect our profits.

The cost of fuel is a significant factor in negotiating charter rates. As a result, an increase in the price of fuel may adversely affect our profitability. The price and supply of fuel is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns and regulations. Furthermore, fuel may become much more expensive in the future, including as a result of the imposition of recent sulfur oxide emissions limits in January 2020 under new regulations adopted by the International Maritime Organization, or the IMO, which may reduce the profitability and competitiveness of our business versus other forms of transportation, such as truck or rail.

Upon redelivery of vessels at the end of a period of time or voyage time charter, we may be obligated to repurchase bunkers on board at prevailing market prices, which could be materially higher than fuel prices at the inception of the charter period. In addition, fuel is a significant, if not the largest, expense that we would incur with respect to vessels operating on voyage charter.

A number of our vessels are chartered on the spot charter market, either through trip charter contracts or voyage charter contracts. Voyage charter contracts generally provide that the vessel owner bears the cost of fuel in the form of bunkers, which is a material operating expense. We do not intend to hedge our fuel costs, and, therefore, an increase in the price of fuel may affect in a negative way our profitability and our cash flows.

Our revenues are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could affect our operating results and ability to service our debt or pay dividends.

We operate our vessels in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as a result, in charter hire rates. This seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results. The dry bulk shipping market is typically stronger in the fall and winter months in anticipation of increased consumption of coal and other raw materials in the northern hemisphere during the winter months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vessel schedules and supplies of certain commodities. As a result, our revenues may be weaker during the fiscal quarters ending June 30 and September 30, and, conversely, our revenues may be stronger in fiscal quarters ending December 31 and March 31. This seasonality should not affect our operating results if our vessels are employed on period time charters, but because our vessels are employed in the spot market or on index-linked charters, seasonality may materially affect our operating results and our ability to pay dividends, if any, in the future.

Environmental, social and governance matters may impact our business and reputation.

In addition to the importance of their financial performance, companies are increasingly being judged by their performance on a variety of environmental, social and governance matters, or ESG, which are considered to contribute to the long-term sustainability of companies’ performance.

A variety of organizations measure the performance of companies on such ESG topics, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. In addition, investment in funds that specialize in companies that perform well in such assessments are increasingly popular, and major institutional investors have publicly emphasized the importance of such ESG measures to their investment decisions. Topics taken into account in such assessments include, among others, the company’s efforts and impacts on climate change and human rights, ethics and compliance with law, and the role of the company’s board of directors in supervising various sustainability issues.

We actively manage a broad range of such ESG matters, taking into consideration their expected impact on the sustainability of our business over time, and the potential impact of our business on society and the environment. As far as the environmental aspect is concerned, in 2019 we implemented technical and operational measures that will result in energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint for our vessels. Scrubber installations, Existing Vessel Design Index, or EVDI, upgrades, and Energy Saving Device installations constitute examples of the environmental practices we have adopted. However, in light of investors’ increased focus on ESG matters, there can be no certainty that we will manage such issues successfully, or that we will successfully meet society’s expectations as to our proper role. Any failure or perceived failure by us in this regard could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and on our business, share price, financial condition, or results of operations, including the sustainability of our business over time.

Our vessels may call on ports located in or may operate in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the United States, the European Union or other governments that could result in fines or other penalties imposed on us and may adversely affect our reputation and the market price of our common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, none of our vessels called on ports located in countries subject to comprehensive sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. government or countries identified by the U.S. government or other authorities as state sponsors of terrorism; however, our vessels may call on ports in these countries from time to time in the future on our charterers’ instructions.  The U.S. sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended or strengthened over time.

We believe that we are currently in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations.  In order to maintain compliance, we monitor and review the movement of our vessels on a daily basis.

We endeavor to provide that all or most of our future charters include provisions and trade exclusion clauses prohibiting the vessels from calling on ports where there is an existing U.S. embargo. Furthermore, as of the date hereof, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have entered into or have any plans to enter into, directly or indirectly, any contracts, agreements or other arrangements with the governments of Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba,  or any entities controlled by the governments of these countries.

Due to the nature of our business and the evolving nature of the foregoing sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance at all times in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations.  Any such violation could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions that could severely impact our ability to access U.S. capital markets and conduct our business, and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or refrain from investing, in us.  In addition, certain institutional investors may have investment policies or restrictions that prevent them from holding securities of companies that have contracts with countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism.  The determination by these investors not to invest in, or to divest from, our common stock may adversely affect the price at which our common stock trades.  Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or our vessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation.  In addition, our reputation and the market for our securities may be adversely affected if we engage in certain other activities, such as entering into charters with individuals or entities in countries subject to U.S. sanctions and embargo laws that are not controlled by the governments of those countries, or engaging in operations associated with those countries pursuant to contracts with third parties that are unrelated to those countries or entities controlled by their governments.

Sulfur regulations to reduce air pollution from ships have required retrofitting of vessels and may cause us to incur significant costs.

Effective January 1, 2020, IMO regulations require vessels comply with a new global cap on the sulfur in fuel oil used on board of 0.5%, down from the previous cap of 3.5%. The interpretation of “fuel oil used on board” includes use in main engine, auxiliary engines and boilers. Shipowners may comply with this regulation by (i) using 0.5% sulfur fuels on board, which are available at a higher cost; (ii) installing “scrubbers” for cleaning of the exhaust gas; or (iii) retrofitting vessels to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), which may not be a viable option due to the lack of supply network and high costs involved in this process. We have installed scrubbers on 50% of our current fleet in cooperation with first-class time charterers who currently employ the vessels on time charters. As part of these agreements, the charterers covered the installation costs. Furthermore, we have made necessary preparations for the remaining 50% of our fleet to burn low sulfur fuel (0.5% or 0.1%). All engineering officers, engineering crew and deck officers employed on our vessels beginning January 1, 2020 are required to undergo training and complete a certain e-module regarding the use of low sulfur fuels. We have further developed ship specific implementation plans for safeguarding the smooth transition with the usage of compliant fuels for such vessels that will not be equipped with scrubbers. Costs of ongoing compliance may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position. See Item 4. “Information on the Company—B. Business Overview— Environmental and Other Regulations—The International Maritime Organization”.

We are subject to regulation and liability under environmental laws that could require significant expenditures and affect our cash flows and net income.

Our business and the operation of our vessels are materially affected by government regulation in the form of international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which the vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries of their registration, including those governing oil spills, discharges to air and water, ballast water management, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes.  These requirements include, but are not limited to, EU regulations, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, the U.S. Clean Air Act, including its amendments of 1977 and 1990, or the CAA, the U.S. Clean Water Act, or the CWA, the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, or the MTSA, and regulations of the IMO, including, but not limited to, the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, as from time to time amended and generally referred to as CLC, the IMO International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973, as from time to time amended and generally referred to as MARPOL, including the designation of emission control areas, or ECAs, thereunder, the IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974, as from time to time amended and generally referred to as SOLAS, the IMO International Convention on Load Lines of 1966, as from time to time amended and generally referred to as the LL Convention, the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, generally referred to as the Bunker Convention, the IMO’s International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, generally referred to as the ISM Code, the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, generally referred to as the BWM Convention, and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, or ISPS.

We may also incur additional costs in order to comply with other existing and future regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, costs relating to the 0.5% sulfur cap on marine fuels, air emissions including greenhouse gases, the management of ballast water, maintenance and inspection, development and implementation of emergency procedures and insurance coverage or other financial assurance of our ability to address pollution incidents. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and our available cash.  Because such conventions, laws and regulations are often revised, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with such conventions, laws and regulations or the impact thereof on the resale price or useful life of vessels we may acquire in the future.  Additional conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing business and which may materially adversely affect our operations.

Regulations relating to ballast water discharge may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

The IMO has imposed updated guidelines for ballast water management systems specifying the maximum amount of viable organisms allowed to be discharged from a vessel’s ballast water.  Depending on the date of the IOPP renewal survey, existing vessels constructed before September 8, 2017 must comply with the updated D-2 standard on or after September 8, 2019.  For most vessels, compliance with the D-2 standard will involve installing on-board systems to treat ballast water and eliminate unwanted organisms.  Ships constructed on or after September 8, 2017 are to comply with the D-2 standards on or after September 8, 2017. Vessels are required to meet the discharge standard D-2 by installing an approved Ballast Water Management System (or BWMS). Pursuant to the BWM Convention amendments that entered into force in October 2019, BWMSs installed on or after October 28, 2020 shall be approved in accordance with BWMS Code, while BWMSs installed before October 23, 2020 must be approved taking into account guidelines developed by the IMO or the BWMS Code. Ships sailing in U.S. waters are required to employ a type-approved BWMS which is compliant with USCG regulations. The USCG has approved a number of BWMS.  Currently three of our vessels comply with the updated guidelines and we have made arrangements for the installation of ballast water treatment systems in another five of our vessels, prior to the respective compliance deadlines. The costs of compliance may be substantial and affect our profitability.

9

Furthermore, United States regulations are currently changing.  Although the 2013 Vessel General Permit, or VGP, program and U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, are currently in effect to regulate ballast discharge, exchange and installation, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, or VIDA, which was signed into law on December 4, 2018, requires that the U.S. Coast Guard develop implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations regarding ballast water within two years.  The new regulations could require the installation of new equipment, which may cause us to incur substantial costs. VIDA requires the EPA to develop performance standards for incidental discharges, and requires the Coast Guard to develop regulations within two years of the EPA’s promulgation of standards. Under VIDA, all provisions of the Vessel General Permit remain in force and effect as currently written until the Coast Guard regulations are published.

Increased inspection procedures, tighter import and export controls and new security regulations could increase costs and disrupt our business.

International shipping is subject to security and customs inspection and related procedures in countries of origin, destination and trans-shipment points. Since the events of September 11, 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security, such as the MTSA. These security procedures can result in delays in the loading, discharging or trans-shipment and the levying of customs duties, fines or other penalties against exporters or importers and, in some cases, vessels. Future changes to the existing security procedures may be implemented that could affect the dry bulk sector. These changes have the potential to impose additional financial and legal obligations on vessels and, in certain cases, to render the shipment of certain types of goods uneconomical or impractical. These additional costs could reduce the volume of goods shipped, resulting in a decreased demand for vessels and have a negative impact on our business, revenues and customer relations.

Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels have increased in frequency, which could adversely affect our business.

Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, Strait of Malacca, Arabian Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Guinea. Sea piracy incidents continue to occur, particularly in the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, in the Gulf of Guinea and the Strait of Malacca, with dry bulk vessels particularly vulnerable to such attacks. If piracy attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed being characterized as “war risk” zones by insurers, as the Gulf of Aden temporarily was in May 2008, or if our vessels are deployed in Joint War Committee “war and strikes” listed areas, premiums payable for insurance coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew and security equipment costs, including costs which may be incurred to employ onboard security armed guards, could increase in such circumstances. Furthermore, while we believe the charterer remains liable for charter payments when a vessel is seized by pirates, the charterer may dispute this and withhold charter hire until the vessel is released. A charterer may also claim that a vessel seized by pirates was not “on-hire” for a certain number of days and is therefore entitled to cancel the charterparty, a claim that we would dispute. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost, or unavailability, of insurance for our vessels could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operation of dry bulk vessels has particular operational risks.

The operation of dry bulk vessels has certain unique risks. With a dry bulk vessel, the cargo itself and its interaction with the vessel can be an operational risk. By their nature, dry bulk cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, dry bulk vessels are often subjected to battering treatment during discharging operations with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold) and small bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the vessel. Vessels damaged due to treatment during discharging procedures may affect a vessel’s seaworthiness while at sea. Hull fractures in dry bulk vessels may lead to the flooding of the vessels’ holds. If a dry bulk vessel suffers flooding in its forward holds, the bulk cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel’s bulkheads, leading to the loss of a vessel. If we are unable to adequately maintain our vessels, we may be unable to prevent these events. Any of these circumstances or events could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

10

If any of our vessels fails to maintain its class certification or fails any annual survey, intermediate survey, or special survey, or if any scheduled class survey takes longer or is more expensive than anticipated, this could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be certified by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the SOLAS.

A vessel must undergo annual, intermediate and special surveys. The vessel’s machinery may be on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. At the beginning, in between and in the end of this cycle, every vessel is required to undergo inspection of her underwater parts that usually includes dry-docking. These surveys and dry-dockings can be costly and can result in delays in returning a vessel to operation.

If any vessel does not maintain its class, the vessel will not be allowed to carry cargo between ports and cannot be employed or insured. Any such inability to carry cargo or be employed, or any related violation of our loan covenants, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Because seafaring employees we employ are covered by industry-wide collective bargaining agreements, failure of industry groups to renew those agreements may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our earnings.

We employ a large number of seafarers. All the seafarers employed on the vessels in our fleet are covered by industry-wide collective bargaining agreements that set basic standards. We cannot assure you that these agreements will be renewed as necessary or will prevent labor interruptions. Any labor interruptions could disrupt our operations and harm our financial performance.

Maritime claimants could arrest or attach one or more of our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flows.

Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against a vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lien holder may enforce its lien by arresting a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our cash flow and require us to pay large sums of funds to have the arrest lifted, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the vessel which is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert “sister ship” liability against one of our vessels for claims relating to another of our vessels.

Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and available cash.

A government could requisition for title or hire one or more of our vessels. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes the owner. Also, a government could requisition a vessel for hire. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes the charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of one or more of our vessels could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The shipping industry has inherent operational risks that may not be adequately covered by our insurances.  Further, because we obtain some of our insurances through protection and indemnity associations, we may also be retrospectively subject to calls or premiums in amounts based not only on our own claim records, but also on the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations.

11

We procure insurance for our fleet against risks commonly insured against by vessel owners and operators. Our current insurances include hull and machinery insurance, war risks insurance, demurrage and defense insurance and protection and indemnity insurance (which includes environmental damage and pollution insurance). We do not expect to maintain for our vessels insurance against loss of hire, which covers business interruptions that result from the loss of use of a vessel. We may not be adequately insured against all risks or our insurers may not pay a particular claim. Even if our insurance coverage is adequate to cover our losses, we may not be able to timely obtain a replacement vessel in the event of a loss. Furthermore, in the future, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our fleet. Our insurance policies also contain deductibles, limitations and exclusions which, although we believe are standard in the shipping industry, may nevertheless increase our costs. If our insurances are not enough to cover claims that may arise, the deficiency may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may also be retrospectively subject to calls, or premiums, in amounts based not only on our own claim records but also the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations through which we receive indemnity insurance coverage for tort liability, including pollution-related liability. Our payment of these calls could result in significant expenses to us.

Risks Relating to Our Company

We have depended on an entity affiliated with our principal shareholder for financing.

We have relied on Jelco Delta Holding Corp., or Jelco, a company affiliated with Claudia Restis, who is our principal shareholder, or Sponsor, for funding for vessel acquisitions and general corporate purposes during 2015 through 2019. This has included convertible notes and loan facilities, as further described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loan Arrangements”. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to rely on Jelco for financing on similar terms or at all. Any inability to secure financing in the future from Jelco could negatively affect our liquidity position and ability to fund our ongoing operations.

Substantial debt levels could limit our flexibility to obtain additional financing and pursue other business opportunities.

As of December 31, 2019, we had $209.9 million of outstanding debt, excluding unamortized financing fees and the convertible notes issued to Jelco. Moreover, we anticipate that we will incur significant future indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of additional vessels, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying further vessels or securing such debt financing. Significant levels of debt could have important consequences to us, including the following:

• our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired, or such financing may be unavailable on favorable terms, or at all;

• we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash from operations to make principal and interest payments on our bank debt and financing liabilities, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and any future dividends to our shareholders;

• our debt level could make us more vulnerable to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally than our competitors with less debt; and

• our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, as well as the interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness. If our operating income is not sufficient to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions, such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt or seeking additional equity capital. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all. In addition, a lack of liquidity in the debt and equity markets could hinder our ability to refinance our debt or obtain additional financing on favorable terms in the future. For more information regarding our current loan arrangements, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loan Arrangements”.

12

Our loan agreements and other financing arrangements contain, and we expect that other future loan agreements and financing arrangements will contain, restrictive covenants that may limit our liquidity and corporate activities, which could limit our operational flexibility and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because of the presence of cross-default provisions in our loan agreements and financing arrangements, a default by us under one loan could lead to defaults under multiple loans.

Our loan agreements and other financial arrangements contain, and we expect that other future loan agreements and financing arrangements will contain, customary covenants and event of default clauses, financial covenants, restrictive covenants and performance requirements, which may affect operational and financial flexibility. Such restrictions could affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, or engage in mergers or acquisitions. These restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or otherwise restrict corporate activities. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs.

As a result of these restrictions, we may need to seek permission from our lenders and other financing counterparties in order to engage in some corporate actions. Our lenders’ and other financing counterparties’ interests may be different from ours and we may not be able to obtain their permission when needed. This may prevent us from taking actions that we believe are in our best interests, which may adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

A failure by us to meet our payment and other obligations, including our financial covenants and any security coverage requirements, could lead to defaults under our financing arrangements. Likewise, a decrease in vessel values or adverse market conditions could cause us to breach our financial covenants or security requirements (the market values of dry bulk vessels have generally experienced high volatility). In the event of a default that we cannot remedy, our lenders and other financing counterparties could then accelerate their indebtedness and foreclose on the respective vessels in our fleet. The loss of any of our vessels could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the recent past, we obtained waivers and deferrals of most major financial covenants under our loan facilities with our lenders until the second quarter of 2019.  Between March and August 2019, we entered into supplemental agreements with certain of our lenders to amend the applicable thresholds of certain financial covenants of our credit facilities until the later of maturity or June 2020. Furthermore, in February 2020, we received approval from the credit committee of one of our lenders to, inter alia, extend the maturities of two of our credit facilities and cancel certain of our corporate covenants under these facilities. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain similar waivers and deferrals from our lenders in the future, if needed, as we have obtained in the past. As of the date of this annual report, we comply with all applicable financial covenants under our existing loan facilities, except for the security cover ratio covenant under the HCOB Loan Facility. Such covenant breach can be rectified by paying the lender an amount equal to the difference of the value secured and the security requirement or by providing additional security.  For more information regarding our current loan facilities, see please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Loan Arrangements”.

Because of the presence of cross-default provisions in our loan agreements, a default by us under a loan and the refusal of any one lender to grant or extend a waiver could result in the acceleration of our indebtedness under our other loans. A cross-default provision means that if we default on one loan, we would then default on our other loans containing a cross-default provision.

Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The existence of such report may adversely affect our stock price, our business relationships and our ability to raise capital. There is no assurance that we will not receive a similar report for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern. However, there are material uncertainties related to events or conditions which raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, we may be unable to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A., or EY, has issued their opinion with an explanatory paragraph in connection with our audited financial statements included in this annual report that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on our cash flow projections, cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities might not be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs that become due in the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2020, primarily scheduled interest payments, installments and balloon payments on certain of our debt facilities and other financing arrangements. We plan to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operations. Concerning the final balloon payments, we are exploring, on an ongoing basis, several alternatives, including refinancing the existing facilities and extending the respective maturities, issuing additional debt or equity securities, entering into restructuring transactions or a combination of the foregoing. These alternatives are supported by the fair market valuation of the vessels, as assessed by third party valuators, which cover sufficiently the underlying loans. In addition, we could consider the sale of some of the collateral vessels to free-up liquidity and support the refinancing of the remaining units by reducing the overall indebtedness. In the event that none of the above materialize, we could consider the sale of all the underlying collaterals (i.e., four vessels) and repay in full the loans under consideration. In this case we would continue to operate with a reduced fleet which would have no impact on our financial standing. In February 2020, we received approval from the credit committee of one of our lenders to, inter alia, extend the maturities of two of our credit facilities and cancel certain of our corporate covenants applying on these facilities. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation.

However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will in fact generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or otherwise cover our liquidity needs that become due in the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2020. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our future financial statements for any future period will not include a similar explanatory paragraph. Our independent registered public accounting firm’s expression of such doubt or our inability to overcome the factors leading to such doubt could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, our business relationships and ability to raise capital and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial prospects.

If we fail to manage our planned growth properly, we may not be able to successfully expand our market share.

Our fleet currently consists of ten Capesize vessels, and we may acquire additional vessels in the future. Our ability to manage our growth will primarily depend on our ability to:

• generate excess cash flow so that we can invest without jeopardizing our ability to cover current and foreseeable working capital needs, including debt service;

• finance our operations, through equity offerings or otherwise, for our existing and new operations;

• locate and acquire suitable vessels;

• identify and consummate acquisitions or joint ventures;

• integrate any acquired businesses or vessels successfully with our existing operations;

• hire, train and retain qualified personnel and crew to manage and operate our growing business and fleet; and

• expand our customer base.

Growing any business by acquisitions presents numerous risks such as obtaining acquisition financing on acceptable terms or at all, undisclosed liabilities and obligations, difficulty in obtaining additional qualified personnel, managing relationships with customers and suppliers and integrating newly acquired operations into existing infrastructures. We may not be successful in executing our growth plans and we may incur significant additional expenses and losses in connection therewith.

Purchasing and operating secondhand vessels, such as our current fleet, may result in increased operating costs and vessel off-hire, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

All ten of the vessels in our fleet are secondhand vessels. Our inspection of these or other secondhand vessels prior to purchase does not provide us with the same knowledge about their condition and the cost of any required or anticipated repairs that we would have had if these vessels had been built for and operated exclusively by us. We have not received in the past, and do not expect to receive in the future, the benefit of warranties on any secondhand vessels we acquire.

14

As the vessels in our fleet or other secondhand vessels we may acquire age, they may become less fuel efficient and costlier to maintain and will not be as advanced as recently constructed vessels due to improvements in design, technology and engineering, including improvements required to comply with government regulations. Rates for cargo insurance, paid by charterers, also increase with the age of a vessel, making older vessels less desirable to charterers.

In addition, charterers actively discriminate against hiring older vessels. Rightship, the ship vetting service founded by Rio Tinto and BHP-Billiton, has become a major vetting service in the dry bulk shipping industry, which ranks the suitability of vessels based on a scale of one to five stars. There are carriers that may not charter a vessel that Rightship has vetted with fewer than three stars. Therefore, a potentially deteriorated star rating for our vessels may affect their commercial operation and profitability and vessels in our fleet with lower ratings may experience challenges in securing charters. Effective as of January 1, 2018, Rightship’s age trigger for a dry cargo inspection for vessels over 8,000 dwt changed from 18 years to 14 years, after which an annual acceptable Rightship inspection will be required. Rightship may downgrade any vessel over 18 years of age that has not completed a satisfactory inspection by Rightship, in the same manner as any other vessel over 14 years of age, to two stars, which significantly decreases its chances of entering into a charter. Therefore, one of our dry bulk carriers is 19 years of age, we may not be able to operate this vessel profitably during the remainder of its useful life. All of the vessels in our fleet have five-star risk ratings from Rightship.

Governmental regulations, safety or other equipment standards related to the age or condition of vessels may require expenditures for alterations, or the addition of new equipment, to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which the vessels may engage. As our vessels age, market conditions may not justify those expenditures or enable us to operate our vessels profitably during the remainder of their useful lives.

In addition, unless we maintain cash reserves for vessel replacement, we may be unable to replace the vessels in our fleet upon the expiration of their useful lives. We estimate the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Our cash flows and income are dependent on the revenues we earn by chartering our vessels to customers. If we are unable to replace the vessels in our fleet upon the expiration of their useful lives, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Any reserves set aside for vessel replacement would not be available for other cash needs or dividends.

Newbuilding projects are subject to risks that could cause delays.

We may enter into newbuilding contracts in connection with our vessel acquisition strategy. Newbuilding construction projects are subject to risks of delay inherent in any large construction project from numerous factors, including shortages of equipment, materials or skilled labor, unscheduled delays in the delivery of ordered materials and equipment or shipyard construction, failure of equipment to meet quality and/or performance standards, financial or operating difficulties experienced by equipment vendors or the shipyard, unanticipated actual or purported change orders, inability to obtain required permits or approvals, design or engineering changes and work stoppages and other labor disputes, adverse weather conditions or any other events of force majeure. A shipyard’s failure to deliver a vessel on time may result in the delay of revenue from the vessel. Any such failure or delay could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We may acquire additional vessels, and if those vessels are not delivered on time or are delivered with significant defects, our earnings and financial condition could suffer.

We may acquire further vessels in the future. The delivery of these vessels could be delayed, or certain events may arise which could result in us not taking delivery of a vessel, such as a total loss of a vessel, a constructive loss of a vessel, or substantial damage to a vessel prior to delivery. A delay in the delivery of any vessels to us, the failure of the contract counterparty to deliver a vessel at all, or us not taking delivery of a vessel could cause us to breach our obligations under a related time charter or could otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the delivery of any vessel with substantial defects could have similar consequences.

15

If volatility in the London InterBank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, occurs, or if LIBOR is replaced as the reference rate under our debt obligations, it could affect our profitability, earnings and cash flow.

LIBOR has historically been volatile, with the spread between LIBOR and the prime lending rate widening significantly at times. These conditions are the result of the disruptions in the international credit markets. Because the interest rates borne by our outstanding indebtedness fluctuate with changes in LIBOR, if such volatility were to occur in future, or if LIBOR is replaced as the reference rate under our debt obligations, it could affect the amount of interest payable on our debt which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our profitability, earnings and cash flow.

On July 27, 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would phase-out LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, lenders have insisted on provisions that entitle the lenders, in their discretion, to replace published LIBOR as the basis for the interest calculation with their cost-of-funds rate. Certain of our existing financing arrangements, provide for the use of replacement rates if LIBOR is discontinued. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of LIBOR discontinuation on us. While we cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to LIBOR or the establishment and use of alternative rates or benchmarks, the interest payable on our debt could be subject to volatility and our lending costs could increase, which would have an adverse effect on our profitability, earnings and cash flow.

The failure of our counterparties to meet their obligations under our charter agreements could cause us to suffer losses or otherwise adversely affect our business.

The ability and willingness of each of our counterparties to perform its obligations under charter agreements with us will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the dry bulk shipping industry and the industries in which our counterparties operate and the overall financial condition of the counterparties. From time to time, those counterparties may account for a significant amount of our chartering activity and revenues. In addition, in challenging market conditions, there have been reports of charterers renegotiating their charters or defaulting on their obligations under charter agreements, and so our customers may fail to pay charter hire or attempt to renegotiate charter rates. Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us, it may be difficult to secure substitute employment for such vessel, and any new charter arrangements we secure in the spot market or on time charters could be at lower rates. If our charterers fail to meet their obligations to us or attempt to renegotiate our charter agreements, we could suffer significant losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Rising crew costs may adversely affect our profits.

Crew costs are expected to be a significant expense for us. Recently, the limited supply of and increased demand for highly skilled and qualified crew, due to the increase in the size of the global shipping fleet, has created upward pressure on crewing costs. Increases in crew costs may adversely affect our profitability if we are not able to increase our rates.

We may not be able to attract and retain key management personnel and other employees in the shipping industry, which may negatively affect the effectiveness of our management and our results of operations.

Our success will depend to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our management team, including our ability to retain key members of our management team and the ability of our management to recruit and hire suitable employees. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business prospects and financial condition. Difficulty in hiring and retaining personnel could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our vessels may suffer damage, and we may face unexpected repair costs, which could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.

If our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a shipyard facility. The costs of repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. The loss of earnings while our vessels are being repaired and repositioned, as well as the actual cost of these repairs, would decrease our earnings and reduce the amount of any dividends in the future. We may not have insurance that is sufficient to cover all or any of these costs or losses and may have to pay repair costs not covered by our insurance.

16

We are exposed to U.S. dollar and foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations that could harm our reported revenue and results of operations.

We generate all of our revenues and incur the majority of our operating expenses in U.S. dollars, but we currently incur many of our general and administration expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro. Because such portion of our expenses is incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our expenses may from time to time increase relative to our revenues as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar and the euro, which could affect the amount of net income that we report in future periods. We may use financial derivatives to operationally hedge some of our currency exposure. Our use of financial derivatives involves certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedged position could exceed the nominal amount invested in the instrument and the risk that the counterparty to the derivative transaction may be unable or unwilling to satisfy its contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our results.

We maintain cash with a limited number of financial institutions including financial institutions that may be located in Greece, which will subject us to credit risk.

We maintain all of our cash with a limited number of financial institutions, including institutions that are located in Greece. These financial institutions located in Greece may be subsidiaries of international banks or Greek financial institutions. Economic conditions in Greece have been, and continue to be, uncertain as a result of recent sovereign weakness. Although Moody’s Investor Services Inc. upgraded the bank financial strength ratings, as well as the deposit and debt ratings, of several Greek banks in July 2019 to reflect improving prospects, the stand-alone financial strength of the banks and the anticipated additional pressures stemming from the legacy of the country’s multi-year debt crisis continue to create challenging economic prospects.

We are a holding company and we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy financial obligations or to pay dividends.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries, which are all wholly-owned by us either directly or indirectly, conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We have no significant assets other than the equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make dividend payments depends on our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of a subsidiary to make these distributions could be affected by the covenants in our loan agreements, a claim or other action by a third party, including a creditor, and the laws of Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Liberia, Malta and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, where our vessel-owning subsidiaries are incorporated, which regulate the payment of dividends by companies. If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries, we may not be able to satisfy our financial obligations.

In the highly competitive international shipping industry, we may not be able to compete for charters with new entrants or established companies with greater resources, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

We employ our vessels in a highly competitive market that is capital intensive and highly fragmented. Competition arises primarily from other vessel owners, some of whom have substantially greater resources than we do. Competition for the transportation of dry bulk cargoes by sea is intense and depends on price, location, size, age, condition and the acceptability of the vessel and its operators to the charterers. Due in part to the highly fragmented market, competitors with greater resources could enter the dry bulk shipping industry and operate larger fleets through consolidations or acquisitions and may be able to offer lower charter rates and higher quality vessels than we are able to offer. Although we believe that no single competitor has a dominant position in the markets in which we compete, we are aware that certain competitors may be able to devote greater financial and other resources to their activities than we can, resulting in a significant competitive threat to us. We cannot give assurances that we will continue to compete successfully with our competitors or that these factors will not erode our competitive position in the future.

Due to our limited fleet diversification, adverse developments in the maritime dry bulk shipping industry would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We depend primarily on the transportation of dry bulk commodities. Our relative lack of diversification could make us vulnerable to adverse developments in the maritime dry bulk shipping industry, which would have a significantly greater impact on our business, financial condition and operating results than it would if we maintained more diverse assets or lines of business.

We may be subject to litigation that, if not resolved in our favor and not sufficiently insured against, could have a material adverse effect on us.

We may be, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. These matters may include, among other things, contract disputes, personal injury claims, environmental claims or proceedings, asbestos and other toxic tort claims, employment matters, governmental claims for taxes or duties, and other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business. Although we intend to defend these matters vigorously, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any claim or other litigation matter, and the ultimate outcome of any litigation or the potential costs to resolve them may have a material adverse effect on us. Insurance may not be applicable or sufficient in all cases or insurers may not remain solvent, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

17

Because we obtain some of our insurances through protection and indemnity associations, we may also be retrospectively subject to calls or premiums in amounts based not only on our own claim records, but also on the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations.

We may be retrospectively subject to calls, or premiums, in amounts based not only on our claim records but also on the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations through which we receive insurance coverage for tort liability, including pollution-related liability.  Our payment of these calls could result in significant expenses to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends in the future.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or FCPA, could result in fines, criminal penalties, and an adverse effect on our business.

We operate throughout the world, including countries with a reputation for corruption.  We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the FCPA.  We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take action determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA.  Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.  In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business.  Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

We depend on our commercial and technical managers to operate our business and our business could be harmed if our managers fail to perform their services satisfactorily.

Pursuant to our management agreements, V.Ships provides us with technical, general administrative and support services (including vessel maintenance, crewing, purchasing, shipyard supervision, assistance with regulatory compliance, accounting related to vessels and provisions).   Fidelity provides us with commercial management services for our vessels and Seanergy Management Corp., or Seanergy Management, our wholly owned subsidiary, provides us with certain other management services. Our operational success depends significantly upon V.Ships’, Fidelity’s and Seanergy Management’s satisfactory performance of these services. Our business would be harmed if V.Ships, Fidelity or Seanergy Management failed to perform these services satisfactorily. In addition, if our management agreements with any of V.Ships, Fidelity or Seanergy Management were to be terminated or if their terms were to be altered, our business could be adversely affected, as we may not be able to immediately replace such services, and even if replacement services were immediately available, the terms offered could be less favorable than those under our existing management agreements.

Our ability to compete for and enter into new period time and spot charters and to expand our relationships with our existing charterers will depend largely on our relationship with our commercial manager, Fidelity, and its reputation and relationships in the shipping industry. If Fidelity suffers material damage to its reputation or relationships, it may harm our ability to:

• renew existing charters upon their expiration;

• obtain new charters;

• obtain financing on commercially acceptable terms;

• maintain satisfactory relationships with our charterers and suppliers; and

• successfully execute our business strategies.

If our ability to do any of the things described above is impaired, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

18

Our managers are each privately held companies and there is little or no publicly available information about them.

The ability of V.Ships, Fidelity and Seanergy Management to render management services will depend in part on their own financial strength. Circumstances beyond our control could impair their financial strength, and because each is a privately held company, information about their financial strength is not available. As a result, we and our shareholders might have little advance warning of financial or other problems affecting them even though their financial or other problems could have a material adverse effect on us.

Management fees will be payable to our technical manager regardless of our profitability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to our technical management agreements with V.Ships, we paid a monthly fee of $8,240 per vessel in 2019 and we have been paying a monthly fee of about $8,488 per vessel starting January 1, 2020 in exchange for V.Ships’ provision of technical, support and administrative services. The management fees do not cover expenses such as voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses, maintenance expenses and crewing costs, for which we reimburse the technical manager. The management fees are payable whether or not our vessels are employed and regardless of our profitability, and we have no ability to require our technical managers to reduce the management fees if our profitability decreases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The majority of the members of our shipping committee are appointees nominated by Jelco, which could create conflicts of interest detrimental to us.

Our board of directors has created a shipping committee, which has been delegated exclusive authority to consider and vote upon all matters involving shipping and vessel finance, subject to certain limitations. Jelco has the right to appoint two of the three members of the shipping committee and as a result effectively controls all decisions with respect to our shipping operations that do not involve a transaction with our Sponsor. Mr. Stamatios Tsantanis, Ms. Christina Anagnostara and Mr. Elias Culucundis currently serve on our shipping committee.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of our common stock.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company”, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of “passive income” or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s assets produce or are held for the production of those types of “passive income”. For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income”. U.S. shareholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC.

Based upon our current and anticipated method of operations, we do not believe that we should be a PFIC with respect to our 2019 taxable year, and we do not expect to become a PFIC in any future taxable year. In this regard, we intend to treat our gross income from time charters as active services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, our income from our time chartering activities should not constitute “passive income”, and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income should not constitute passive assets. There is substantial legal authority supporting this position including case law and U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, it should be noted that there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if the nature and extent of our operations change.

If the IRS were to find that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year, our U.S. shareholders would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain information reporting requirements. Under the PFIC rules, unless those shareholders make an election available under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, or the Code (which election could itself have adverse consequences for such shareholders), such shareholders would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of their shares of our common stock, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the shareholder’s holding period of the shares of our common stock. Similar consequences would apply to holders of our warrants. See “Item 10.E. Tax Considerations – U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders - Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for a more comprehensive discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders if we are treated as a PFIC.

19

We may have to pay tax on U.S. source income, which would reduce our earnings.

Under the Code, 50% of the gross shipping income of a vessel-owning or chartering corporation, such as us and our subsidiaries, that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States, exclusive of certain U.S. territories and possessions, “U.S. source gross shipping income” may be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax without allowance for deduction, unless that corporation qualifies for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

We did not qualify for exemption from the 4% tax under Section 883 for our 2019 taxable year as we did not satisfy one of the ownership tests described in “Item 10.E. Tax Considerations – United States Federal Income Tax Consequences – Exemption of Operating Income from United States Federal Income Taxation” for such taxable year. The ownership tests require us, inter alia, to establish or substantiate sufficient ownership of our common shares by one or more “qualified” shareholders.  For our 2019 taxable year, we had U.S. source gross shipping income, on which we were subject to a U.S federal tax of $147,548. Some of our charterparties contain clauses that permit us to seek reimbursement from charterers of any U.S. tax paid. We have sought reimbursement and have secured payment from all of our charterers for the 2019 taxable year.

Due to the factual nature of the issues involved, and given that we are currently not eligible for the exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code, we can give no assurances on the tax-exempt status of ourselves or that of any of our subsidiaries for our 2020 or subsequent taxable year. If we or our subsidiaries continue not to be entitled to exemption under Section 883, we or our subsidiaries will continue to be subject to the 4% U.S. federal income tax on 50% of any shipping income such companies derive that is attributable to the transport of cargoes to or from the United States. This tax is a cost, which, if unreimbursed, has a negative effect on our business and results in decreased earnings available for distribution to our shareholders.

We may be subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which we or our vessel-owning subsidiaries are incorporated or operate.

In addition to the tax consequences discussed herein, we may be subject to tax in one or more other jurisdictions where we or our vessel-owning subsidiaries are incorporated or conduct activities. We are subject to a corporate flat tax for our subsidiaries in Malta for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and could be subject to additional taxation in the future in Malta or other jurisdictions where our subsidiaries are incorporated or do business. The amount of any such tax imposed upon our operations or on our subsidiaries’ operations may be material and could have an adverse effect on our earnings.

We are a “foreign private issuer”, which could make our common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

We are a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. As a “foreign private issuer” the rules governing the information that we disclose differ from those governing U.S. corporations pursuant to the Exchange Act. We are not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or provide current reports on Form 8-K disclosing significant events within four days of their occurrence. In addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchase and sales of our securities. Our exemption from the rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act regarding sales of common stock by insiders means that you will have less data in this regard than shareholders of U.S. companies that are subject to the Exchange Act. Moreover, we are exempt from the proxy rules, and proxy statements that we distribute will not be subject to review by the Commission. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning us than there is for other U.S. public companies. These factors could make our common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board inspection of our independent accounting firm, could lead to adverse findings in our auditors’ reports and challenges to the accuracy of our published audited consolidated financial statements.

Auditors of U.S. public companies are required by law to undergo periodic Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, inspections that assess their compliance with U.S. law and professional standards in connection with performance of audits of financial statements filed with the SEC. For several years certain European Union countries, including Greece, did not permit the PCAOB to conduct inspections of accounting firms established and operating in such European Union countries, even if they were part of major international firms. Accordingly, unlike for most U.S. public companies, the PCAOB was prevented from evaluating our auditor’s performance of audits and its quality control procedures, and, unlike stockholders of most U.S. public companies, we and our stockholders were deprived of the possible benefits of such inspections. Since 2015, Greece agreed to allow the PCAOB to conduct inspections of accounting firms operating in Greece. In the future, such PCAOB inspections could result in findings in our auditors’ quality control procedures, question the validity of the auditor’s reports on our published consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and cast doubt upon the accuracy of our published audited financial statements.

We conduct business in China, where the legal system is not fully developed and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us.

Some of our vessels may be chartered to Chinese customers and from time to time on our charterers’ instructions, our vessels may call on Chinese ports.  Such charters and voyages may be subject to regulations in China that may require us to incur new or additional compliance or other administrative costs and may require that we pay to the Chinese government new taxes or other fees.  Applicable laws and regulations in China may not be well publicized and may not be known to us or our charterers in advance of us or our charterers becoming subject to them, and the implementation of such laws and regulations may be inconsistent.  Changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including with regards to tax matters, or changes in their implementation by local authorities, could affect our vessels if chartered to Chinese customers as well as our vessels calling to Chinese ports and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Changing laws and evolving reporting requirements could have an adverse effect on our business.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to reporting requirements, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, may create additional compliance requirements for us. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, we have invested in, and continue to invest in, reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards.

GDPR broadens the scope of personal privacy laws to protect the rights of European Union citizens and requires organizations to report on data breaches within 72 hours and be bound by more stringent rules for obtaining the consent of individuals on how their data can be used. Non-compliance with GDPR may expose entities to significant fines or other regulatory claims which could have an adverse effect on our business, and results of operations.

A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.

We rely on information technology systems and networks in our operations and administration of our business. Our business operations could be targeted by individuals or groups seeking to sabotage or disrupt our information technology systems and networks, or to steal data. A successful cyber-attack could materially disrupt our operations, including the safety of our operations, or lead to unauthorized release of information or alteration of information in our systems. Any such attack or other breach of our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, the unavailability of the information systems or the failure of these systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt our business and could result in decreased performance and increased operating costs, causing our business and results of operations to suffer. Any significant interruption or failure of our information systems or any significant breach of security could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may lead to governmental claims against us.

We expect that our vessels will call in ports in South America and other areas where smugglers attempt to hide drugs and other contraband on vessels, with or without the knowledge of crew members. Under some jurisdictions, vessels used for the conveyance of illegal drugs could subject the vessels to forfeiture to the government of such jurisdiction. To the extent our vessels are found with contraband, whether inside or attached to the hull of our vessel and whether with or without the knowledge of any member of our crew, we may face reputational damage and governmental or other regulatory claims or penalties which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, as well as our ability to maintain cash flows, including cash available for distributions to pay dividends to our unitholders. Under some jurisdictions, vessels used for the conveyance of illegal drugs could subject result in forfeiture of the vessel to forfeiture to the government of such jurisdiction.

Risks Relating to Our Common Shares

The market price of our common shares has been and may in the future be subject to significant fluctuations. Further, there is no guarantee of a continuing public market to resell our common shares.

Our common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on October 15, 2008. Since December 21, 2012, our common shares have traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot assure you that an active and liquid public market for our common shares will continue.

The market price of our common shares has been and may in the future be subject to significant fluctuations as a result of many factors, some of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that have in the past and could in the future affect our stock price are:

• quarterly variations in our results of operations;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies and stock market price and volume fluctuations generally;

• changes in earnings estimates or the publication of research reports by analysts;

• speculation in the press or investment community about our business or the shipping industry generally;

• strategic actions by us or our competitors such as acquisitions or restructurings;

• the thin trading market for our common shares, which makes it somewhat illiquid;

• regulatory developments;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• general market conditions; and

• domestic and international economic, market and currency factors unrelated to our performance.

The stock markets in general, and the markets for dry bulk shipping and shipping stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has sometimes been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Additionally, there is no guarantee of a continuing public market to resell our common shares. Our common shares now trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot assure you that an active and liquid public market for our common shares will continue. On July 15, 2019, we received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of our common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from May 31, 2019 to July 12, 2019, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until January 13, 2020. On January 14, 2020, we received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that we were granted an additional 180-day grace period, until July 13, 2020, to cure our non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of our common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. A reverse stock split will be considered by our board of directors if deemed necessary in order to regain compliance prior to the expiration of the grace period. During this time, our common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The declaration and payment of dividends will always be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors. Our board of directors may not declare dividends in the future.

The declaration, timing and amount of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our earnings, financial condition, market prospects, capital expenditure requirements, investment opportunities, restrictions in our loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends to shareholders, overall market conditions and other factors. Our board of directors may not declare dividends in the future.

Both of our loan facilities with Alpha Bank A.E. place restrictions on our ability to distribute dividends to our shareholders, specifically that the amount of the dividends so declared shall not exceed 50% of our net income except in case that cash and marketable securities are equal or greater than the amount required to meet our debt service for the following eighteen-month period. However, in February 2020, we received approval from the credit committee of Alpha Bank A.E. to, inter alia, remove these restrictions. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation. Further, Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends if the company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent upon payment of such dividend, and dividends may be declared and paid out of our operating surplus. Dividends may also be declared or paid out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and for the preceding fiscal year. We may be unable to pay dividends in any anticipated amount or at all.

Anti-takeover provisions in our restated articles of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws could make it difficult for shareholders to replace or remove our current board of directors or could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

Several provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws could make it difficult for shareholders to change the composition of our board of directors in any one year, preventing them from changing the composition of our management. In addition, the same provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable.

These provisions:

• authorize our board of directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock without shareholder approval;

• provide for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

• require a super-majority vote in order to amend the provisions regarding our classified board of directors;

• permit the removal of any director from office at any time, with or without cause, at the request of the shareholder group entitled to designate such director; and

• prevent our board of directors from dissolving the shipping committee or altering the duties or composition of the shipping committee without an affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the board of directors.

These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of shareholders to benefit from a change in control and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium.

Issuance of preferred shares may adversely affect the voting power of our shareholders and have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

Our restated articles of incorporation currently authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, with respect to, among other things, dividends, conversion, voting, redemption, liquidation and the number of shares constituting any series without shareholders’ approval. If our board of directors determines to issue preferred shares, such issuance may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable. The issuance of preferred shares with voting and conversion rights may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common shares. This could substantially impede the ability of public shareholders to benefit from a change in control and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares and our shareholders’ ability to realize any potential change of control premium.

Jelco and Comet Shipholding Inc. are able to exercise considerable control over the outcome of all matters requiring a shareholder vote, and their interests could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.

Jelco and Comet Shipholding Inc., or Comet, both companies affiliated with our Sponsor, currently collectively own approximately 7,934,388, or approximately 27%, of our outstanding common shares.  Jelco may also acquire up to 2,867,776 additional common shares upon conversion of the convertible notes issued to it by the Company, in which case our Sponsor would own approximately 33.5% of our outstanding common shares, based on the number of common shares outstanding as of March 4, 2020.  Jelco also owns Class B warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,823,529 common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. As a result, Jelco and Comet are able to exercise considerable control over the outcome of all matters requiring a shareholder vote. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other shareholders or deprive shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our business, and it is possible that the interests of our Sponsor may in some cases conflict with our interests and the interests of our other holders of shares. For example, conflicts of interest may arise between us, on one hand, and our Sponsor or affiliated entities, on the other hand, which may result in the transactions on terms not determined by market forces. Any such conflicts of interest could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common shares. In addition, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our shares because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with such concentrated shareholding.

We may issue additional common shares or other equity securities without shareholder approval, which would dilute our existing shareholders’ ownership interests and may depress the market price of our common shares.

We may issue additional common shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future without shareholder approval in connection with, among other things, future vessel acquisitions, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, and the conversion of convertible financial instruments.

Our issuance of additional common shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in these situations would have the following effects:

• our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us would decrease;

• the proportionate amount of cash available for dividends payable on our common shares could decrease;

• the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common share could be diminished; and

• the market price of our common shares could decline.

In addition, we may issue additional common shares upon any conversion of our outstanding convertible notes issued to Jelco or upon exercise of our outstanding Class A warrants, Class B warrants or the Representative’s Warrant issued to Maxim Group LLC, or Maxim, in connection with our public offering in May 2019.

As of March 4, 2020, Jelco had the right to acquire 281,481 common shares upon exercise of a conversion option pursuant to the convertible note dated March 12, 2015, as amended, issued by the Company to Jelco, 1,567,777 common shares upon exercise of a conversion option pursuant to the revolving convertible note dated September 7, 2015, as amended, issued by the Company to Jelco, 1,018,518 common shares upon exercise of a conversion option pursuant to the convertible note dated September 27, 2017, as amended, issued by the Company to Jelco. Under each of the convertible notes, Jelco may, at its option, convert the principal amount under the note at any time into common shares at a conversion price of $13.50 per share. As of March 4, 2020, Jelco had also the right to acquire 1,823,529 common shares upon exercise of the Class B warrants issued by the Company to Jelco in May 2019. Each Class B Warrant is exercisable for one common share at an adjusted exercise price of $1.00 per share and expires in May 2022. Our issuance of additional common shares in such instance and assuming no exercises from other warrant holders, would cause the proportionate ownership interest in us of our existing shareholders, other than Jelco, to decrease; the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common share held by our existing shareholders, other than the converting noteholder, to decrease; and the market price of our common shares could decline.

24

As of March 4, 2020, we had 11,500,000 Class A warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 766,666 common shares, 4,830,000 Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 4,830,000 common shares and one Representative’s Warrant outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 210,000 common shares. Each Class A warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $30.00 per share and expires in December 2021.  Each Class B Warrant is exercisable for one common share at an adjusted exercise price of $1.00 per share and expires in May 2022. The Representative’s Warrant has an adjusted exercise price equal $1.00 and expire in May 2022.  Our issuance of additional common shares upon the exercise of the Class A warrants, Class B warrants or the Representative’s Warrant would cause the proportionate ownership interest in us of our existing shareholders, other than the exercising warrant holders, to decrease; the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common share held by our existing shareholders to decrease; and the market price of our common shares could decline.

We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law, which may negatively affect the ability of shareholders to protect their interests.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or the BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States. However, there have been few judicial cases in the Republic of the Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain U.S. jurisdictions. Shareholder rights may differ as well. While the BCA does specifically incorporate the non-statutory law, or judicial case law, of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.

Additionally, the Republic of the Marshall Islands does not have a legal provision for bankruptcy or a general statutory mechanism for insolvency proceedings. As such, in the event of a future insolvency or bankruptcy, our shareholders and creditors may experience delays in their ability to recover for their claims after any such insolvency or bankruptcy. Further, in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding involving us or any of our subsidiaries, bankruptcy laws other than those of the United States could apply. If we become a debtor under U.S. bankruptcy law, bankruptcy courts in the United States may seek to assert jurisdiction over all of our assets, wherever located, including property situated in other countries. There can be no assurance, however, that we would become a debtor in the United States, or that a U.S. bankruptcy court would be entitled to, or accept, jurisdiction over such a bankruptcy case, or that courts in other countries that have jurisdiction over us and our operations would recognize a U.S. bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction if any other bankruptcy court would determine it had jurisdiction.

As a Marshall Islands corporation with principal executive offices in Greece, and also having subsidiaries in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and other offshore jurisdictions such as Liberia, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands, our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements.

In December 2017, following an assessment of the tax policies of various countries by the Code of Conduct Group for Business Taxation of the European Union, or the COCG, the Council of the European Union, or the Council, approved and published Council conclusions containing a list of “non-cooperative jurisdictions” for tax purposes, the 2017 Conclusions. In March 2019, the Council adopted a revised list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, the 2019 Conclusions. In the 2019 Conclusions, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, among others, was placed by the E.U. on its list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes for failing to implement certain commitments previously made to the E.U. by the agreed deadline. However, it was announced by the Council in October 2019 that the Marshall Islands had been removed from the list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. E.U. member states have agreed upon a set of measures, which they can choose to apply against the listed countries, including increased monitoring and audits, withholding taxes, special documentation requirements and anti-abuse provisions. The European Commission has stated it will continue to support member states’ efforts to develop a more coordinated approach to sanctions for the listed countries. E.U. legislation prohibits E.U. funds from being channeled or transited through entities in non-cooperative jurisdictions.

We are a Marshall Islands corporation with principal executive offices in Greece. Several of our subsidiaries are organized in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Liberia, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands. The Marshall Islands have enacted economic substance regulations with which we are obligated to comply. The Marshall Islands economic substance regulations require certain entities that carry out particular activities to comply with a three-part economic substance test whereby the entity must show that it (i) is directed and managed in the Marshall Islands in relation to that relevant activity, (ii) carries out core income-generating activity in relation to that relevant activity in the Marshall Islands (although it is being understood and acknowledged by the regulators that income-generated activities for shipping companies will generally occur in international waters) and (iii) having regard to the level of relevant activity carried out in the Marshall Islands has (a) an adequate amount of expenditures in the Marshall Islands, (b) adequate physical presence in the Marshall Islands and (c) an adequate number of qualified employees in the Marshall Islands. Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands have enacted similar legislation.

25

If we fail to comply with our obligations under such legislation or any similar law applicable to us in any other jurisdictions, we could be subject to financial penalties and spontaneous disclosure of information to foreign tax officials, or could be struck from the register of companies, in related jurisdictions. Any of the foregoing could be disruptive to our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and operating results.

We do not know (i) if the E.U. will add the Marshall Islands, Liberia, Bermuda or the British Virgin Islands to the list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, (ii) how quickly the E.U. would react to any changes in legislation of the relevant jurisdictions, or (iii) how E.U. banks or other counterparties will react while we or any of our subsidiaries remain as entities organized and existing under the laws of listed countries. The effect of the E.U. list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, and any noncompliance by us with any legislation adopted by applicable countries to achieve removal from the list, including economic substance regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and operating results.

It may not be possible for investors to serve process on or enforce U.S. judgments against us.

We and all of our subsidiaries are incorporated in jurisdictions outside the U.S. and substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries are located outside the U.S. In addition, most of our directors and officers are non-residents of the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to serve process within the U.S. upon us, our subsidiaries or our directors and officers or to enforce a judgment against us for civil liabilities in U.S. courts. In addition, you should not assume that courts in the countries in which we or our subsidiaries are incorporated or where our assets or the assets of our subsidiaries are located (1) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our subsidiaries based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (2) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiaries based on those laws.

History and Development

On February 3, 2017, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim, as sales agent, pursuant to which we sold 185,475 of our common shares for an aggregate net proceeds of $2.6 million.  On June 27, 2017, we and Maxim mutually terminated the Equity Distribution Agreement.

On March 7, 2017, we entered into a settlement agreement with Natixis related to our 2015 secured term loan facility with Natixis.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we were granted an option, until September 29, 2017, to satisfy the full amount of the facility at a discount by making a prepayment of $28 million. On September 29, 2017, Natixis, entered into a deed of release and fully discharged the $35.4 million balance of our secured term loan facility obligations to the lender for a total settlement amount of $24.0 million. The first priority mortgage over the Championship and all other securities created in favour of Natixis were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release. We recognized a gain from the Natixis refinancing of $11.4 million.

On March 28, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party for the purchase of a secondhand Capesize vessel, the Partnership, for a gross purchase price of $32.7 million. We took delivery of the Partnership on May 31, 2017. The acquisition costs of the Partnership were funded with proceeds from a $18 million secured loan facility with Amsterdam Trade Bank N.V., or ATB, as described below and a $16.2 million secured loan facility with Jelco, referred to as the Second Jelco Loan Facility.

On May 24, 2017, we entered into an up to $18 million term loan facility with ATB, the ATB Loan Facility, to partially finance the acquisition of the Partnership.

On May 24, 2017, we entered into an up to $16.2 million loan facility with Jelco to partially finance the acquisition of the Partnership.

On September 25, 2017, in order to partially fund the refinancing of our Natixis facility, we amended and restated the ATB Loan Facility, increasing the loan amount of the ATB Loan Facility by an additional tranche of $16.5 million, the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility.

On September 27, 2017, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the $16.2 million Second Jelco Loan Facility, as described below.

On April 10, 2018, we entered into a $2 million loan facility with Jelco for working capital purposes, also described below as the Third Jelco Loan Facility. We drew down the $2 million on April 12, 2018.

On June 11, 2018, we entered into a $24.5 million term loan facility with Blue Ocean maritime lending funds managed by EnTrustPermal in order to partially fund the refinancing of a $32 million loan facility with Northern Shipping Funds, or NSF, the NSF Loan Facility. On June 13, 2018, NSF, entered into a deed of release and fully discharged the $16 million balance of the NSF Loan Facility. The first priority mortgage over the Lordship and all other securities granted in favour of NSF were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release.

On June 28, 2018, we entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with Hanchen Limited, or Hanchen, an affiliate of AVIC International Leasing Co., Ltd., for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness under the NSF Loan Facility. On June 28, 2018, NSF, entered into a deed of release and fully discharged the $16 million balance of the NSF Loan Facility. The first priority mortgage over the Knightship and all other securities granted in favour of NSF were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release. Under the terms of the sale and leaseback agreement, the Knightship was sold for $26.5 million and leased back on a bareboat basis for a period of 8 years.

On August 31, 2018 we entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to acquire a secondhand Capesize vessel, the Fellowship, for a gross purchase price of $28.7 million. We took delivery of the Fellowship on November 22, 2018. The acquisition costs of the Fellowship were funded with proceeds from an amended and restated term loan facility with UniCredit, the Amended and Restated UniCredit Loan Facility, described below, and by cash on hand.

On September 20, 2018, we entered into two separate definitive agreements with unaffiliated third parties for the sale of our two Supramax vessels, the Gladiatorship and the Guardianship for an aggregate gross sale price of $22.7 million. The previous lender, UniCredit, agreed to rollover the loan amount under the $52.7 million loan facility by funding the Fellowship under the Amended and Restated UniCredit Loan Facility. The Gladiatorship and the Guardianship were delivered to their new owners on October 11, 2018 and on November 19, 2018, respectively.

27

On November 7, 2018, we entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with Cargill International SA, or Cargill, for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Championship was sold and chartered back on a bareboat basis and subsequently was entered into a five-year time charter with Cargill. The refinancing released approximately $7.8 million of liquidity for the Company that was used to partially finance the acquisition price of the Fellowship. As part of this agreement 120,000 common shares were issued to Cargill.

On February 13, 2019, we entered into a new loan facility with ATB in order to refinance the existing indebtedness over the Partnership under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility, for general working capital purposes and more specifically, for the financing of installation of open loop scrubber systems on the Squireship and Premiership.

Effective at the opening of trading on March 20, 2019, we effected a one-for-fifteen reverse split of our common stock.

On March 26, 2019, we entered into a $7.0 million loan facility with Jelco, or the Fourth Jelco Loan Facility, the proceeds of which were utilized to (i) refinance the Third Jelco Loan Facility and (ii) for general corporate purposes. We drew down the entire $7.0 million on March 27, 2019.

On May 13, 2019, we sold 4,200,000 units at a price of $3.40 per unit in a public offering. Each unit consisted of one common share (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one common share in the unit), one Class B warrant to purchase one common share and one Class C warrant to purchase one common share. In addition, we issued one Representative Warrant to the underwriters to purchase 210,000 common shares. In connection with the offering, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option with regard to 630,000 Class B warrants and 630,000 Class C warrants. The gross proceeds of the offering, before underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $14.3 million. The net proceeds from the sale of common shares and warrants, after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses, were approximately $12.6 million. As of the date of this report, no pre-funded warrants, no Class C warrants and 4,830,000 Class B warrants are outstanding. Of the 4,830,000 Class C warrants issued on May 13, 2019, 4,770,500 were exercised and the remaining 59,500 Class C warrants expired pursuant to their terms on November 13, 2019.  All the 1,435,000 pre-funded warrants issued on May 13, 2019 were exercised from May until June 2019. Effective December 13, 2019, each Class B warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.00 and expires three years from the date of issuance. The Representative Warrant is exercisable to purchase 210,000 common shares at an adjusted exercise price of $1.00 per share and expires three years from the date of issuance.

Concurrently with the public offering on May 13, 2019, we sold 1,823,529 units in a private placement to Jelco in exchange for, inter alia, the forgiveness of certain payment obligations of ours, including all interest payments accrued and due through December 31, 2019, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with Jelco on May 9, 2019, or the Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the private placement, 1,823,529 common shares were issued to Jelco on May 13, 2019 and pursuant to the alternate cashless exercise of Jelco’s Class C warrants further 4,996,469 common shares were issued to Jelco on June 17, 2019. As of the date of this report, the 1,823,529 Class B Warrants issued to Jelco remain outstanding. All Class C Warrants issued to Jelco were exercised on June 14, 2019.

Between March and August 2019, we entered into supplemental agreements with certain of our lenders to, inter alia, (i) amend the applicable thresholds of certain financial covenants of our credit facilities until the later of maturity or June 30, 2020 and (ii) defer a total of $3.3 million of debt installments, that were originally scheduled for 2019, to dates falling in 2020 and 2021.

On July 15, 2019, we received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of our common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from May 31, 2019 to July 12, 2019, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until January 13, 2020. On January 14, 2020, we received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that we were granted an additional 180-day grace period, until July 13, 2020, to cure our non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, our common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

28

During our 2019 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than 1‑for‑2 and not more than 1‑for‑20, and granted our board of directors the authority to determine whether to implement any reverse stock split and, if so, to select an exchange ratio within the approved range. A reverse stock split will be considered by our board of directors if deemed necessary in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement.

In December 2019, we completed our program of installation of scrubbers in anticipation of the IMO’s low sulfur fuel oil requirements in effect from January 1, 2020.  We have retrofitted five Capesize vessels, or 50% of our fleet, with scrubbers. The costs of the scrubber program, amounting to approximately $21.4 million, were partly borne by the vessels’ charterers. The five vessels are under long-term time charters, which commenced in 2018 and 2019.

In February 2020, we received approval from the credit committee of one of our lenders to, inter alia, extend the maturities of two of our credit facilities and cancel certain of our corporate covenants applying on these facilities.  This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation.

(1) In November 2018, we entered into a financing arrangement with Cargill according to which this vessel was sold and leased back on a bareboat basis from Cargill for a five-year-period. We have a purchase obligation at the end of the five-year period and we further have the option to repurchase the vessel at any time during the bareboat charter.

(2) This vessel is being chartered by Cargill. The vessel was delivered to the charterer on November 7, 2018 for a period of employment of 60 months, with an additional period of 24 to 27 months at the charterer’s option. The net daily charter hire is calculated at an index linked rate based on the five T/C routes of the BCI. In addition, the time charter provides us with the option to convert the index linked rate to a fixed rate for a period of between three and 12 months priced at the then prevailing Capesize Forward Freight Agreement rate, or FFA, for the selected period.

(3) This vessel is being chartered by a major European utility and energy company and was delivered to the charterer on September 11, 2019, for a period of minimum 33 to maximum 37 months with an optional period of about 11 to maximum 13 months. The net daily charter hire is calculated at an index linked rate based on the five T/C routes rate of the BCI. In addition, the time charter provides us an option for any period of time during the hire to be converted into a fixed rate time charter, between three months and 12 months, with a rate corresponding to the prevailing value of the respective Capesize FFA.

(4) In June 2018, we entered into a financing arrangement with AVIC International Leasing Co., Ltd., or AVIC, according to which this vessel was sold and leased back on a bareboat basis from AVIC’s affiliate, Hanchen, for an eight-year period. We have a purchase obligation at the end of the eight-year period and we further have the option to repurchase the vessel at any time following the second anniversary of delivery under the bareboat charter.

Our Business Strategy

We currently operate ten Capesize vessels. We intend to continue to review the market in order to identify potential acquisition targets which will be accretive to our earnings per share. Our acquisition strategy focuses on newbuilding or secondhand Capesize dry bulk vessels, although we may acquire vessels in other sectors which we believe offer attractive investment opportunities.

Management of Our Fleet

We manage our vessel’s operations, insurances and bunkering and have the general supervision of our third-party technical and commercial managers.

V.Ships, an independent third party, provides technical management for our vessels that includes general administrative and support services, such as crewing and other technical management, accounting related to vessels and provisions. Pursuant to our technical management agreements with V.Ships, we paid a monthly fee of $8,240 per vessel in 2019, and we are paying a monthly fee of about $8,488 per vessel as of January 1, 2020 in exchange for V.Ships providing these technical, support and administrative services. The management fees do not cover expenses such as voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses, maintenance expenses and crewing costs, which are reimbursed by us to V.Ships. The technical management agreements are for an indefinite period until terminated by either party, giving the other notice in writing, in which event the applicable agreement shall terminate after one month from the date upon which such notice is received.

Seanergy Management Corp., or Seanergy Management, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, has entered into a commercial management agreement with Fidelity, an independent third party, pursuant to which Fidelity provides commercial management services for all of the vessels in our fleet. Fidelity serves as a commercial broker for Capesize vessels exclusively to us. Under the commercial management agreement, we have agreed to reimburse Fidelity for all reasonable running and/or out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to, telephone, fax, stationary and printing expenses, as well as any pre-approved travelling expenses. In addition, we have agreed to pay the following fees to Fidelity, (i) an annual fee of EUR 120,000 net payable in equal monthly payments and (ii) commission fees equal to 0.15% calculated on the collected gross hire/freight/demurrage payable when the relevant hire/freight/demurrage is collected. The fees under (i) and (ii) are capped at EUR 300,000 per year. The commercial management agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving one-month prior written notice to the other party.

Employment of Our Fleet

As of the date of this report, four of our vessels are chartered on the spot charter market, either through trip charter contracts or voyage charter contracts. A spot market voyage charter is generally a contract to carry a specific cargo from a load port to a discharge port for an agreed freight per ton of cargo or a specified total amount. Under spot market voyage charters, we pay specific voyage expenses such as port, canal and bunker costs. Spot charter rates are volatile and fluctuate on a seasonal and year-to-year basis. Fluctuations derive from imbalances in the availability of cargoes for shipment and the number of vessels available at any given time to transport these cargoes. Vessels operating in the spot market generate revenue that is less predictable than those under time charters, but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of improvements in dry bulk vessel charter rates. Downturns in the dry bulk industry would result in a reduction in profit margins and could lead to losses.

The remaining six of our vessels are employed under long-term time charters which have a charter hire calculated at an index-linked rate based on the 5-routes T/C average of the BCI. Also, under some of our time charter agreements we have the option to convert the index linked rate into a fixed rate corresponding to the prevailing value of the respective Capesize FFAs. In the future, we may opportunistically look to employ more of our vessels under time charter contracts with a fixed rate, should rates become more attractive.

Shipping Committee

We have established a shipping committee. The purpose of the shipping committee is to consider and vote upon all matters involving shipping and vessel finance in order to accelerate the pace of our decision making in respect of shipping business opportunities, such as the acquisition of vessels or companies. The shipping industry often demands very prompt review and decision-making with respect to business opportunities. In recognition of this, and in order to best utilize the experience and skills that our directors bring to us, our board of directors has delegated all such matters to the shipping committee. Transactions that involve the issuance of our securities or transactions that involve a related party, however, shall not be delegated to the shipping committee but instead shall be considered by the entire board of directors. The shipping committee consists of three directors. In accordance with the amended and restated charter of the shipping committee, two of the directors on the shipping committee are nominated by Jelco and one of the directors on the shipping committee is nominated by a majority of our board of directors and is an independent member of the board of directors. The members of the shipping committee are Mr. Stamatios Tsantanis and Ms. Christina Anagnostara, who are Jelco’s nominees, and Mr. Elias Culucundis, who is the nominee of the board of directors.

In order to assure the continued existence of the shipping committee, our board of directors has agreed that the shipping committee may not be dissolved and that the duties or composition of the shipping committee may not be altered without the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of our board of directors. In addition, the duties of our chief executive officer may not be altered without a similar vote. These duties and powers include voting the shares of stock that the Company owns in its subsidiaries. In addition to these agreements, we have amended certain provisions in our articles of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws to incorporate these requirements.

As a result of these various provisions, in general, all shipping-related decisions will be made by Jelco’s appointees to our board of directors unless 80% of the board members vote to change the duties or composition of the shipping committee.

The Dry bulk Shipping Industry

The global dry bulk vessel fleet is divided into four categories based on a vessel’s carrying capacity.  These categories are:

Capesize. Capesize vessels have a carrying capacity of exceeding 100,000 dwt.  Only the largest ports around the world possess the infrastructure to accommodate vessels of this size.  Capesize vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore or coal and, to a much lesser extent, grains, primarily on long-haul routes.

31

Panamax. Panamax vessels have a carrying capacity of between 60,000 and 100,000 dwt.  These vessels are designed to meet the physical restrictions of the Panama Canal locks (hence their name “Panamax” — the largest vessels able to transit the Panama Canal prior to its 2016 expansion, making them more versatile than larger vessels).  These vessels carry coal, grains, and, to a lesser extent, minerals such as bauxite/alumina and phosphate rock.

Handymax/Supramax. Handymax vessels have a carrying capacity of between 30,000 and 60,000 dwt.  These vessels operate on a large number of geographically dispersed global trade routes, carrying primarily grains and minor bulks.  The standard vessels are usually built with 25-30 ton cargo gear, enabling them to discharge cargo where grabs are required (particularly industrial minerals), and to conduct cargo operations in countries and ports with limited infrastructure.  This type of vessel offers good trading flexibility and can, therefore, be used in a wide variety of bulk and neobulk trades, such as steel products.  Supramax are a sub-category of this category typically having a cargo carrying capacity of between 50,000 and 60,000 dwt.

Handysize.  Handysize vessels have a carrying capacity of up to 30,000 dwt.  These vessels are almost exclusively carry minor bulk cargo.  Increasingly, vessels of this type operate on regional trading routes, and may serve as trans-shipment feeders for larger vessels.  Handysize vessels are well suited for small ports with length and draft restrictions.  Their cargo gear enables them to service ports lacking the infrastructure for cargo loading and discharging.

The supply of dry bulk vessels is dependent on the delivery of new vessels and the removal of vessels from the global fleet, either through scrapping or loss.The level of scrapping activity is generally a function of scrapping prices in relation to current and prospective charter market conditions, as well as operating, repair and survey costs.

The demand for dry bulk vessel capacity is determined by the underlying demand for commodities transported in dry bulk vessels, which in turn is influenced by trends in the global economy.  Demand for dry bulk vessel capacity is also affected by the operating efficiency of the global fleet, with port congestion, which has been a feature of the market since 2004, absorbing tonnage and therefore leading to a tighter balance between supply and demand.  In evaluating demand factors for dry bulk vessel capacity, we believe that dry bulk vessels can be the most versatile element of the global shipping fleets in terms of employment alternatives.

Charter Hire Rates

Charter hire rates fluctuate by varying degrees among dry bulk vessel size categories.  The volume and pattern of trade in a small number of commodities (major bulks) affect demand for larger vessels.  Therefore, charter rates and vessel values of larger vessels often show greater volatility.  Conversely, trade in a greater number of commodities (minor bulks) drives demand for smaller dry bulk vessels.  Accordingly, charter rates and vessel values for those vessels are subject to less volatility.

Charter hire rates paid for dry bulk vessels are primarily a function of the underlying balance between vessel supply and demand, although at times other factors may play a role.  Furthermore, the pattern seen in charter rates is broadly mirrored across the different charter types and the different dry bulk vessel categories.  However, because demand for larger dry bulk vessels is affected by the volume and pattern of trade in a relatively small number of commodities, charter hire rates (and vessel values) of larger ships tend to be more volatile than those for smaller vessels.

In the time charter market, rates vary depending on the length of the charter period and vessel specific factors such as age, speed and fuel consumption.

In the voyage charter market, rates are influenced by cargo size, commodity, port dues and canal transit fees, as well as commencement and termination regions.  In general, a larger cargo size is quoted at a lower rate per ton than a smaller cargo size.  Routes with costly ports or canals generally command higher rates than routes with low port dues and no canals to transit.  Voyages with a load port within a region that includes ports where vessels usually discharge cargo or a discharge port within a region with ports where vessels load cargo also are generally quoted at lower rates, because such voyages generally increase vessel utilization by reducing the unloaded portion (or ballast leg) that is included in the calculation of the return charter to a loading area.

Within the dry bulk shipping industry, the charter hire rate references most likely to be monitored are the freight rate indices issued by the Baltic Exchange.  These references are based on actual charter hire rates under charters entered into by market participants as well as daily assessments provided to the Baltic Exchange by a panel of major shipbrokers.

32

Competition

We operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and demand.  We compete for charters on the basis of price, vessel location, size, age and condition of the vessel, as well as on its reputation.  Fidelity negotiates the terms of our charters (whether voyage charters, period time charters, bareboat charters or pools) based on market conditions.  We compete primarily with other owners of dry bulk vessels, many of which may have more resources than us and may operate vessels that are newer, and therefore more attractive to charterers than vessels we may operate.  Ownership of dry bulk vessels is highly fragmented and is divided among publicly listed companies, state-controlled companies and independent dry bulk vessel owners.  We compete primarily with owners of dry bulk vessels in the Capesize class size.

Customers

Our customers include or have included national, regional and international companies.  Customers individually accounting for more than 10% of our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were:

Customer	2019	2018	2017
A	19%	26%	17%
B	18%	21%	-
C	15%	-	-
D	-	11%	17%
Total	52%	58%	34%

Seasonality

Coal, iron ore and grains, which are the major bulks of the dry bulk shipping industry, are somewhat seasonal in nature. The energy markets primarily affect the demand for coal, with increases during hot summer periods when air conditioning and refrigeration require more electricity and towards the end of the calendar year in anticipation of the forthcoming winter period. The demand for iron ore tends to decline in the summer months because many of the major steel users, such as automobile makers, reduce their level of production significantly during the summer holidays. Grain trades are completely seasonal as they are driven by the harvest within a climate zone. Because three of the five largest grain producers (the United States of America, Canada and the European Union) are located in the northern hemisphere and the other two (Argentina and Australia) are located in the southern hemisphere, harvests occur throughout the year and grains transportation requires dry bulk shipping accordingly.

Environmental and Other Regulations

Government regulation and laws significantly affect the ownership and operation of our fleet. We are subject to international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our vessels may operate or are registered relating to safety and health and environmental protection including the storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination and liability for damage to natural resources. Compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements entails significant expense, including vessel modifications and implementation of certain operating procedures.

A variety of government and private entities subject our vessels to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities (applicable national authorities such as the United States Coast Guard, or USCG, harbor master or equivalent), classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry), terminal operators and charterers. Certain of these entities require us to obtain permits, licenses, certificates and other authorizations for the operation of our vessels. Failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or result in the temporary suspension of the operation of one or more of our vessels.

Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform to stricter environmental standards. We are required to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews and compliance with United States and international regulations. We believe that the operation of our vessels is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that our vessels have all material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. However, because such laws and regulations frequently change and may impose increasingly stricter requirements, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements, or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful lives of our vessels. In addition, a future serious marine incident that causes significant adverse environmental impact could result in additional legislation or regulation that could negatively affect our profitability.

International Maritime Organization

The IMO, the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by vessels, has adopted the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto, collectively referred to as MARPOL 73/78 and herein as MARPOL, adopted the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974, or SOLAS Convention, and the International Convention on Load Lines of 1966, or LL Convention. MARPOL establishes environmental standards relating to oil leakage or spilling, garbage management, sewage, air emissions, the handling and disposal of noxious liquids and the handling of harmful substances in packaged forms.  MARPOL is applicable to dry bulk, tanker and LNG carriers, among other vessels, and is broken into six Annexes, each of which regulates a different source of pollution. Annex I relates to oil leakage or spilling; Annexes II and III relate to harmful substances carried in bulk in liquid or in packaged form, respectively; Annexes IV and V relate to sewage and garbage management, respectively; and Annex VI, lastly, relates to air emissions. Annex VI was separately adopted by the IMO in September of 1997.

In 2013, the IMO’s Marine Environmental Protection Committee, or the MEPC, adopted a resolution amending MARPOL Annex I Condition Assessment Scheme, or CAS. These amendments became effective on October 1, 2014 and require compliance with the 2011 International Code on the Enhanced Programme of Inspections during Surveys of Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, or ESP Code, which provides for enhanced inspection programs. We may need to make certain financial expenditures to comply with these amendments.

Air Emissions

In September of 1997, the IMO adopted Annex VI to MARPOL to address air pollution from vessels. Effective May 2005, Annex VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from all commercial vessel exhausts and prohibits “deliberate emissions” of ozone depleting substances (such as halons and chlorofluorocarbons), emissions of volatile compounds from cargo tanks, and the shipboard incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions, as explained below.  Emissions of “volatile organic compounds” from certain vessels, and the shipboard incineration (from incinerators installed after January 1, 2000) of certain substances (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs) are also prohibited.  We believe that all our vessels are currently compliant in all material respects with these regulations.

The MEPC adopted amendments to Annex VI regarding emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and ozone depleting substances, which entered into force on July 1, 2010.  The amended Annex VI seeks to further reduce air pollution by, among other things, implementing a progressive reduction of the amount of sulfur contained in any fuel oil used on board ships. Effective January 1, 2020, there is a global limit of 0.5% m/m sulfur oxide emissions (reduced from 3.50%).  This limitation can be met by using low-sulfur compliant fuel oil, alternative fuels, or certain exhaust gas cleaning systems.  Ships are required to obtain bunker delivery notes and International Air Pollution Prevention, or IAPP, Certificates from their flag states that specify sulfur content.  Additionally, at MEPC 73, amendments to Annex VI to prohibit the carriage of bunkers above 0.5% sulfur on ships were adopted and will take effect on March 1, 2020.  These regulations subject ocean-going vessels to stringent emissions controls and may cause us to incur substantial costs.

Sulfur content standards are even stricter within certain “Emission Control Areas”, or ECAs. As of January 1, 2015, ships operating within an ECA were not permitted to use fuel with sulfur content in excess of 0.1%. Amended Annex VI establishes procedures for designating new ECAs. Currently, the IMO has designated four ECAs, including specified portions of the Baltic Sea area, North Sea area, North American area and United States Caribbean area.  Ocean-going vessels in these areas will be subject to stringent emission controls and may cause us to incur additional costs. If other ECAs are approved by the IMO, or other new or more stringent requirements relating to emissions from marine diesel engines or port operations by vessels are adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, or the states where we operate, compliance with these regulations could entail significant capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.

34

Amended Annex VI also establishes new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for marine diesel engines, depending on their date of installation. Now Annex VI provides for a three-tier reduction in NOx emissions from marine diesel engines, with the final tier (or Tier III) to apply to engines installed on vessels constructed on or after January 1, 2016 and which operate in the North American ECA or the U.S. Caribbean Sea ECA as well as ECAs designated in the future by the IMO. At MEPC 70 and MEPC 71, the MEPC approved the North Sea and Baltic Sea as ECAs for nitrogen oxide for ships built after January 1, 2021. The EPA promulgated equivalent (and in some senses stricter) emissions standards in late 2009.

As determined at the MEPC 70, the new Regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI became effective as of March 1, 2018 and requires ships above 5,000 gross tonnage to collect and report annual data on fuel oil consumption to an IMO database, with the first year of data collection commencing on January 1, 2019.  The IMO intends to use such data as the first step in its roadmap (through 2023) for developing its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships, as discussed further below.

As of January 1, 2013, MARPOL made mandatory certain measures relating to energy efficiency for ships. All ships are now required to develop and implement Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans, or SEEMPS, and new ships must be designed in compliance with minimum energy efficiency levels per capacity mile as defined by the Energy Efficiency Design Index, or EEDI.  Under these measures, by 2025, all new ships built will be 30% more energy efficient than those built in 2014.

We may incur costs to comply with these revised standards. Additional or new conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could require the installation of expensive emission control systems and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Safety Management System Requirements

The SOLAS Convention was amended to address the safe manning of vessels and emergency training drills.  The Convention of Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, or the LLMC, sets limitations of liability for a loss of life or personal injury claim or a property claim against ship owners. We believe that our vessels are in substantial compliance with SOLAS and LLMC standards.

Under Chapter IX of the SOLAS Convention, or the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or the ISM Code, our operations are also subject to environmental standards and requirements. The ISM Code requires the party with operational control of a vessel to develop an extensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We rely upon the safety management system that we and our technical management team have developed for compliance with the ISM Code.The failure of a vessel owner or bareboat charterer to comply with the ISM Code may subject such party to increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports.

The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a safety management certificate for each vessel they operate. This certificate evidences compliance by a vessel’s management with the ISM Code requirements for a safety management system. No vessel can obtain a safety management certificate unless its manager has been awarded a document of compliance, issued by each flag state, under the ISM Code. We have obtained applicable documents of compliance for our offices and safety management certificates for all of our vessels for which the certificates are required by the IMO. The document of compliance and safety management certificate are renewed as required.

Amendments to the SOLAS Convention Chapter VII apply to vessels transporting dangerous goods and require those vessels be in compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, or IMDG Code. Effective January 1, 2018, the IMDG Code includes (1) updates to the provisions for radioactive material, reflecting the latest provisions from the International Atomic Energy Agency, (2) new marking, packing and classification requirements for dangerous goods, and (3) new mandatory training requirements.

The IMO has also adopted the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, or STCW.  As of February 2017, all seafarers are required to meet the STCW standards and be in possession of a valid STCW certificate.  Flag states that have ratified SOLAS and STCW generally employ the classification societies, which have incorporated SOLAS and STCW requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance.

35

Furthermore, recent action by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee and United States agencies indicate that cybersecurity regulations for the maritime industry are likely to be further developed in the near future in an attempt to combat cybersecurity threats. For example, cyber-risk management systems must be incorporated by shipowners and managers by 2021. This might cause companies to create additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require additional expenses and/or capital expenditures.  The impact of such regulations is hard to predict at this time.

Pollution Control and Liability Requirements

The IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for pollution in international waters and the territorial waters of the signatories to such conventions. For example, the IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, in 2004. The BWM Convention entered into force on September 9, 2017.  The BWM Convention requires ships to manage their ballast water to remove, render harmless, or avoid the uptake or discharge of new or invasive aquatic organisms and pathogens within ballast water and sediments.  The BWM Convention’s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits, and require all ships to carry a ballast water record book and an international ballast Water management certificate.

Specifically, ships over 400 gross tons generally must comply with a “D-1 standard”, requiring the exchange of ballast water only in open seas and away from coastal waters.  The “D-2 standard” specifies the maximum amount of viable organisms allowed to be discharged, and compliance dates vary depending on the IOPP renewal dates. Depending on the date of the IOPP renewal survey, existing vessels must comply with the D-2 standard on or after September 8, 2019. For most ships, compliance with the D-2 standard will involve installing on-board systems to treat ballast water and eliminate unwanted organisms.  Ballast Water Management systems (or BWMS), which include systems that make use of chemical, biocides, organisms or biological mechanisms, or which alter the chemical or physical characteristics of the Ballast Water, must be approved in accordance with IMO Guidelines (Regulation D-3).  Pursuant to the BWM Convention amendments that entered into force in October 2019, BWMS installed on or after October 28, 2020 shall be approved in accordance with BWMS Code, while BWMS installed before October 23, 2020 must be approved taking into account guidelines developed by the IMO or the BWMS Code. Costs of compliance with these regulations may be substantial. The cost of compliance could increase for ocean carriers and may have a material effect on our operations. However, many countries already regulate the discharge of ballast water carried by vessels from country to country to prevent the introduction of invasive and harmful species via such discharges. The U.S., for example, requires vessels entering its waters from another country to conduct mid-ocean ballast exchange, or undertake some alternate measure, and to comply with certain reporting requirements.

The IMO also adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the Bunker Convention, to impose strict liability on ship owners (including the registered owner, bareboat charterer, manager or operator) for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention requires registered owners of ships over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the LLMC).  With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for spills or releases of oil carried as fuel in ship’s bunkers typically is determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur.

Ships are required to maintain a certificate attesting that they maintain adequate insurance to cover an incident. In jurisdictions such as the United States where the Bunker Convention has not been adopted, various legislative schemes or common law govern, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or on a strict-liability basis.

Anti‑Fouling Requirements

In 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti‑fouling Systems on Ships, or the “Anti‑fouling Convention”. The Anti‑fouling Convention, which entered into force on September 17, 2008, prohibits the use of organotin compound coatings to prevent the attachment of mollusks and other sea life to the hulls of vessels. Vessels of over 400 gross tons engaged in international voyages will also be required to undergo an initial survey before the vessel is put into service or before an International Anti‑fouling System Certificate is issued for the first time; and subsequent surveys when the anti‑fouling systems are altered or replaced. We have obtained Anti‑fouling System Certificates for all of our vessels that are subject to the Anti‑fouling Convention.

36

Compliance Enforcement

Noncompliance with the ISM Code or other IMO regulations may subject the ship owner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The USCG and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code by applicable deadlines will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and European Union ports, respectively.  As of the date of this report, each of our vessels is ISM Code certified. However, there can be no assurance that such certificates will be maintained in the future.  The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our operations.

United States Regulations

The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. OPA affects all “owners and operators” whose vessels trade or operate within the U.S., its territories and possessions or whose vessels operate in U.S. waters, which includes the U.S.’s territorial sea and its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the U.S.  The U.S. has also enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, which applies to the discharge of hazardous substances other than oil, except in limited circumstances, whether on land or at sea.  OPA and CERCLA both define “owner and operator” in the case of a vessel as any person owning, operating or chartering by demise, the vessel.  Both OPA and CERCLA impact our operations.

Under OPA, vessel owners and operators are “responsible parties” and are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their vessels, including bunkers (fuel).  OPA defines these other damages broadly to include:

(i)            injury to, destruction or loss of, or loss of use of, natural resources and related assessment costs;

(ii)           injury to, or economic losses resulting from, the destruction of real and personal property;

(iii)          loss of subsistence use of natural resources that are injured, destroyed or lost;

(iv)          net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees or net profit revenues resulting from injury, destruction or loss of real or personal property, or natural resources;

(v)           lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to injury, destruction or loss of real or personal property or natural resources; and

(vi)          net cost of increased or additional public services necessitated by removal activities following a discharge of oil, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards, and loss of subsistence use of natural resources.

OPA contains statutory caps on liability and damages; such caps do not apply to direct cleanup costs.  Effective November 12, 2019, the USCG adjusted the limits of OPA liability for non-tank vessels, edible oil tank vessels, and any oil spill response vessels, to the greater of $1,200 per gross ton or $997,100 (subject to periodic adjustment for inflation). These limits of liability do not apply if an incident was proximately caused by the violation of an applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulation by a responsible party (or its agent, employee or a person acting pursuant to a contractual relationship), or a responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The limitation on liability similarly does not apply if the responsible party fails or refuses to (i) report the incident where the responsible party knows or has reason to know of the incident; (ii) reasonably cooperate and assist as requested in connection with oil removal activities; or (iii) without sufficient cause, comply with an order issued under the Federal Water Pollution Act (Section 311 (c), (e)) or the Intervention on the High Seas Act.

CERCLA contains a similar liability regime whereby owners and operators of vessels are liable for cleanup, removal and remedial costs, as well as damages for injury to, or destruction or loss of, natural resources, including the reasonable costs associated with assessing the same, and health assessments or health effects studies. There is no liability if the discharge of a hazardous substance results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war. Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5.0 million for vessels carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $500,000 for any other vessel. These limits do not apply (rendering the responsible person liable for the total cost of response and damages) if the release or threat of release of a hazardous substance resulted from willful misconduct or negligence, or the primary cause of the release was a violation of applicable safety, construction or operating standards or regulations.  The limitation on liability also does not apply if the responsible person fails or refused to provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance as requested in connection with response activities where the vessel is subject to OPA.

37

OPA and CERCLA each preserve the right to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort law.  OPA and CERCLA both require owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the USCG evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the maximum amount of liability to which the particular responsible person may be subject. Vessel owners and operators may satisfy their financial responsibility obligations by providing a proof of insurance, a surety bond, qualification as a self-insurer or a guarantee. We comply and plan to comply going forward with the USCG’s financial responsibility regulations by providing applicable certificates of financial responsibility.

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in additional regulatory initiatives or statutes, including higher liability caps under OPA, new regulations regarding offshore oil and gas drilling, and a pilot inspection program for offshore facilities.  However, several of these initiatives and regulations have been or may be revised.  For example, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s, or BSEE, revised Production Safety Systems Rule, or PSSR, effective December 27, 2018, modified and relaxed certain environmental and safety protections under the 2016 PSSR.  Additionally, the BSEE released a final Well Control Rule, which eliminated a number of provisions which could affect offshore drilling operations.  Compliance with any new requirements of OPA and future legislation or regulations applicable to the operation of our vessels could negatively impact the cost of our operations and adversely affect our business.

OPA specifically permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, provided they accept, at a minimum, the levels of liability established under OPA and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for oil spills.  Many U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted environmental pollution laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance.  These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law.  Moreover, some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters, although in some cases, states which have enacted this type of legislation have not yet issued implementing regulations defining vessel owners’ responsibilities under these laws. The Company intends to comply with all applicable state regulations in the ports where the Company’s vessels call.

We currently maintain pollution liability coverage insurance in the amount of $1 billion per incident for each of our vessels. If the damages from a catastrophic spill were to exceed our insurance coverage, that could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.

Other United States Environmental Initiatives

The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970 (including its amendments of 1977 and 1990), or CAA, requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants.  The CAA requires states to adopt State Implementation Plans, or SIPs, some of which regulate emissions resulting from vessel loading and unloading operations which may affect our vessels.

The U.S. Clean Water Act, or CWA, prohibits the discharge of oil, hazardous substances and ballast water in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly-issued permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges.  The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under OPA and CERCLA.  In 2015, the EPA expanded the definition of “waters of the United States”, or WOTUS, thereby expanding federal authority under the CWA.  Following litigation on the revised WOTUS rule, in December 2018, the EPA and Department of the Army proposed a revised, limited definition of “waters of the United States”.   On October 22, 2019, the EPA and the Department of the Army published a final rule to repeal the 2015 WOTUS definition, reverting to the prior definition; the final rule became effective on December 23, 2019.

38

The EPA and the USCG have also enacted rules relating to ballast water discharge, compliance with which requires the installation of equipment on our vessels to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures at potentially substantial costs, and/or otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. Waters.  The EPA will regulate these ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain vessels within United States waters pursuant to the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, or VIDA, which was signed into law on December 4, 2018 and will replace the 2013 Vessel General Permit, or VGP, program (which authorizes discharges incidental to operations of commercial vessels and contains numeric ballast water discharge limits for most vessels to reduce the risk of invasive species in U.S. waters, stringent requirements for exhaust gas scrubbers, and requirements for the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants) and current Coast Guard ballast water management regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, such as mid-ocean ballast exchange programs and installation of approved USCG technology for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks bound for U.S. ports or entering U.S. waters.  VIDA establishes a new framework for the regulation of vessel incidental discharges under Clean Water Act (CWA), requires the EPA to develop performance standards for those discharges within two years of enactment, and requires the U.S. Coast Guard to develop implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations within two years of EPA’s promulgation of standards.  Under VIDA, all provisions of the 2013 VGP and USCG regulations regarding ballast water treatment remain in force and effect until the EPA and U.S. Coast Guard regulations are finalized.  Non-military, non-recreational vessels greater than 79 feet in length must continue to comply with the requirements of the VGP, including submission of a Notice of Intent, or NOI, or retention of a PARI form and submission of annual reports. We have submitted NOIs for our vessels where required.  Compliance with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard and state regulations could require the installation of ballast water treatment equipment on our vessels or the implementation of other port facility disposal procedures at potentially substantial cost or may otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. waters.

European Union Regulations

In October 2009, the European Union amended a directive to impose criminal sanctions for illicit ship-source discharges of polluting substances, including minor discharges, if committed with intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the discharges individually or in the aggregate result in deterioration of the quality of water. Aiding and abetting the discharge of a polluting substance may also lead to criminal penalties. The directive applies to all types of vessels, irrespective of their flag, but certain exceptions apply to warships or where human safety or that of the ship is in danger. Criminal liability for pollution may result in substantial penalties or fines and increased civil liability claims.  Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 ( amended by Regulation (EU) 2016/2071 with respect to methods of calculating, inter alia, emission and consumption) governs the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and, subject to some exclusions, requires companies with ships over 5,000 gross tonnage to monitor and report carbon dioxide emissions annually, which may cause us to incur additional expenses.

The European Union has adopted several regulations and directives requiring, among other things, more frequent inspections of high-risk ships, as determined by type, age, and flag as well as the number of times the ship has been detained. The European Union also adopted and extended a ban on substandard ships and enacted a minimum ban period and a definitive ban for repeated offenses. The regulation also provided the European Union with greater authority and control over classification societies, by imposing more requirements on classification societies and providing for fines or penalty payments for organizations that failed to comply. Furthermore, the EU has implemented regulations requiring vessels to use reduced sulfur content fuel for their main and auxiliary engines. Since January 1, 2015, vessels have been required to burn fuel with sulphur content not exceeding 0.1% while within EU member states’ territorial seas, exclusive economic zones and pollution control zones that are included in “SOx Emission Control Areas.” EU Directive (EU) 2016/802 establishes limits on the maximum Sulphur content of gas oils and heavy fuel oil and contains fuel-specific requirements for ships calling at EU ports.

EU Directive 2004/35/CE regarding the prevention and remedying of environmental damage addresses liability for environmental damage (including damage to water, land, protected species and habitats) on the basis of the “polluter pays” principle. Operators whose activities caused the environmental damage are liable for the damage (subject to certain exceptions). With regard to specified activities causing environmental damage, operators are strictly liable. The directive applies where damage has already occurred and where there is an imminent threat of damage. The directive requires preventative and remedial actions, and that operators report environmental damage or an imminent threat of such damage.

International Labor Organization

The International Labor Organization, or the ILO, is a specialized agency of the UN that has adopted the Maritime Labor Convention 2006, or MLC 2006. A Maritime Labor Certificate and a Declaration of Maritime Labor Compliance is required to ensure compliance with the MLC 2006 for all ships above 500 gross tons in international trade.  We believe that all our vessels are in substantial compliance with and are certified to meet MLC 2006.

39

Greenhouse Gas Regulation

Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which entered into force in 2005 and pursuant to which adopting countries have been required to implement national programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with targets extended through 2020.  International negotiations are continuing with respect to a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, and restrictions on shipping emissions may be included in any new treaty. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the U.S. and China, signed the Copenhagen Accord, which includes a non-binding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris resulted in the Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016 and does not directly limit greenhouse gas emissions from ships.  On November 4, 2019, the United States began the process to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

At MEPC 70 and MEPC 71, a draft outline of the structure of the initial strategy for developing a comprehensive IMO strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships was approved. In accordance with this roadmap, in April 2018, nations at the MEPC 72 adopted an initial strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships.  The initial strategy identifies “levels of ambition” to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including (1) decreasing the carbon intensity from ships through implementation of further phases of the EEDI for new ships; (2) reducing carbon dioxide emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030, pursuing efforts towards 70% by 2050, compared to 2008 emission levels; and (3) reducing the total annual greenhouse emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 while pursuing efforts towards phasing them out entirely.  The initial strategy notes that technological innovation, alternative fuels and/or energy sources for international shipping will be integral to achieve the overall ambition.  These regulations could cause us to incur additional substantial expenses.

The EU made a unilateral commitment to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from its member states from 20% of 1990 levels by 2020. The EU also committed to reduce its emissions by 20% under the Kyoto Protocol’s second period from 2013 to 2020.  As of January 2018, large ships calling at EU ports have been required to collect and publish data on carbon dioxide emissions and other information.

In the United States, the EPA issued a finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health and safety, adopted regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from certain mobile sources, and proposed regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from large stationary sources. The EPA or individual U.S. states could enact environmental regulations that could negatively affect our operations.

Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, the EU, the U.S. or other countries where we operate, or any treaty adopted at the international level to succeed the Kyoto Protocol or Paris Agreement, that restricts emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to make significant expenditures which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Even in the absence of climate control legislation, our business may be indirectly affected to the extent that climate change may result in sea level changes or certain weather events.

Vessel Security Regulations

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security such as the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, or MTSA. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the USCG issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and at certain ports and facilities, some of which are regulated by the EPA.

Similarly, Chapter XI-2 of the SOLAS Convention imposes detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities and mandates compliance with the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code, or the ISPS Code. The ISPS Code is designed to enhance the security of ports and ships against terrorism. To trade internationally, a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate, or ISSC, from a recognized security organization approved by the vessel’s flag state. Ships operating without a valid certificate may be detained, expelled from, or refused entry at port until they obtain an ISSC.  The various requirements, some of which are found in the SOLAS Convention, include, for example, on-board installation of automatic identification systems to provide a means for the automatic transmission of safety-related information from among similarly equipped ships and shore stations, including information on a ship’s identity, position, course, speed and navigational status; on-board installation of ship security alert systems, which do not sound on the vessel but only alert the authorities on shore; the development of vessel security plans; ship identification number to be permanently marked on a vessel’s hull; a continuous synopsis record kept onboard showing a vessel’s history including the name of the ship, the state whose flag the ship is entitled to fly, the date on which the ship was registered with that state, the ship’s identification number, the port at which the ship is registered and the name of the registered owner(s) and their registered address; and compliance with flag state security certification requirements.

40

The USCG regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. vessels from MTSA vessel security measures, provided such vessels have on board a valid ISSC that attests to the vessel’s compliance with the SOLAS Convention security requirements and the ISPS Code. Future security measures could have a significant negative financial impact on us.  We intend to comply with the various security measures addressed by MTSA, the SOLAS Convention and the ISPS Code.

The cost of vessel security measures has also been affected by the escalation in the frequency of acts of piracy against ships, notably off the coast of Somalia, including the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea area.  Substantial loss of revenue and other costs may be incurred as a result of detention of a vessel or additional security measures, and the risk of uninsured losses could significantly and negatively affect our business. Costs may be incurred in taking additional security measures in accordance with Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy, notably those contained in the BMP5 industry standard.

Inspection by Classification Societies

The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and SOLAS. Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance coverage and lending that a vessel be certified “in class” by a classification society which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies, the IACS.  The IACS has adopted harmonized Common Structural Rules, or the Rules, which apply to oil tankers and bulk carriers constructed on or after July 1, 2015.  The Rules attempt to create a level of consistency between IACS Societies.  All of our vessels are certified as being “in class” by all the applicable Classification Societies (e.g., American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas).

A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys, drydockings and special surveys. In lieu of a special survey, a vessel’s machinery may be on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. Every vessel is also required to be drydocked every 30 to 36 months for inspection of the underwater parts of the vessel.  If any vessel does not maintain its class and/or fails any annual survey, intermediate survey, drydocking or special survey, the vessel will be unable to carry cargo between ports and will be unemployable and uninsurable which could cause us to be in violation of certain covenants in our loan agreements. Any such inability to carry cargo or be employed, or any such violation of covenants, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risk of Loss and Liability Insurance

General

The operation of any cargo vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure, physical damage, collision, property loss, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, piracy incidents, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. OPA, which imposes virtually unlimited liability upon shipowners, operators and bareboat charterers of any vessel trading in the exclusive economic zone of the United States for certain oil pollution accidents in the United States, has made liability insurance more expensive for shipowners and operators trading in the United States market. We carry insurance coverage as customary in the shipping industry. However, not all risks can be insured, specific claims may be rejected and we might not be always able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates.

Hull & Machinery and War Risks Insurances

We maintain marine hull and machinery and war risks insurances, which include the risk of actual or constructive total loss, for all of our vessels.  Each of our vessels is covered up to at least fair market value with deductibles of $150,000 per vessel per incident.  We also maintain increased value coverage for our vessels.  Under this increased value coverage, in the event of total loss of a vessel, we will be able to recover the sum insured under the increased value policy in addition to the sum insured under the hull and machinery policy.  Increased value insurance also covers excess liabilities which are not recoverable under our hull and machinery policy by reason of under insurance.

41

Protection and Indemnity Insurance

Protection and indemnity insurance, provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations, or P&I Associations, covers our third-party liabilities in connection with our shipping activities. This includes third-party liability and other related expenses of injury, illness or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss or damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property such as fixed and floating objects, pollution arising from oil or other substances, salvage, towing and other related costs, including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by protection and indemnity mutual associations, or “clubs”.

Our coverage is limited to approximately $3.1 billion, except for oil pollution and crew liabilities which is limited to $1 billion and $3 billion, respectively.  The 13 P&I Associations that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world’s commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure each association’s liabilities. The International Group’s website states that the Pool provides a mechanism for reinsuring an International Group member’s claims in excess of US$ 10 million up to, currently, approximately US$ 8 billion.  As a member of a P&I Association, which is a member of the International Group, we are subject to calls payable to the associations based on our claim records as well as the claim records of all other members of the individual associations and members of the shipping pool of P&I Associations comprising the International Group.

Permits and Authorizations

We are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses and certificates with respect to our vessels. The kinds of permits, licenses and certificates required depend upon several factors, including the commodity transported, the waters in which the vessel operates, the nationality of the vessel’s crew and the age of a vessel. We believe that we have obtained all permits, licenses and certificates currently required to permit our vessels to operate as planned. Additional laws and regulations, environmental or otherwise, may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of us doing business in the future.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion of the results of our operations and our financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in “Item 18. Financial Statements”.   This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in “Item 3. Key Information–D. Risk Factors”.

A. Operating Results

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations Overview

We are an international shipping company specializing in the worldwide seaborne transportation of dry bulk commodities. We currently operate a modern fleet of ten Capesize vessels, with a cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 1,748,581 dwt and an average fleet age of 11 years. We are the only pure-play Capesize shipowner publicly listed in the U.S.

Important Measures and Definitions for Analyzing Results of Operations

We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts. These include the following:

Ownership days. Ownership days are the total number of calendar days in a period during which we owned or chartered in on bareboat basis each vessel in our fleet. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses recorded during that period.

Available days. Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to major repairs, dry-dockings, lay-up or special or intermediate surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels are available to generate revenues.

Operating days. Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. Operating days include the days that our vessels are in ballast voyages without having fixed their next employment. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels could actually generate revenues.

Fleet utilization. Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were generating revenues and is determined by dividing operating days by ownership days for the relevant period.

Off-hire. The period a vessel is not being chartered or is unable to perform the services for which it is required under a charter.

Dry-docking. We periodically dry-dock each of our vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements.

43

Time charter. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time (period time charter) or for a specific voyage (trip time charter) during which the charterer pays substantially all of the voyage expenses, including port charges, bunker expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The vessel owner pays the vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores and spares, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs. The vessel owner is also responsible for each vessel’s dry-docking and intermediate and special survey costs. Time charter rates are usually fixed during the term of the charter. Prevailing time charter rates do fluctuate on a seasonal and year-to-year basis and may be substantially higher or lower from a prior time charter agreement when the subject vessel is seeking to renew the time charter agreement with the existing charterer or enter into a new time charter agreement with another charterer. Fluctuations in time charter rates are influenced by changes in spot charter rates.

Bareboat charter.  A bareboat charter is generally a contract pursuant to which a vessel owner provides its vessel to a charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate. Under a bareboat charter, the charterer assumes responsibility for all voyage and vessel operating expenses and risk of operation.

Voyage charter.  A voyage charter is generally a contract to carry a specific cargo from a load port to a discharge port for an agreed-upon total amount. Under voyage charters, voyage expenses, such as port charges, bunker expenses, canal charges and other commissions, are paid by the vessel owner, who also pays vessel operating expenses.

TCE.  Time charter equivalent, or TCE, rate is defined as our net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker expenses, canal charges and other commissions.

Daily Vessel Operating Expenses. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses less pre-delivery expenses by ownership days for the relevant time periods. Vessel operating expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Vessel operating expenses before pre-delivery expenses exclude one-time pre-delivery and pre-joining expenses associated with initial crew manning and supply of stores of Company’s vessels upon delivery.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Business

The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include the following:

• number of vessels owned and operated;

• voyage charter rates;

• time charter trip rates;

• period time charter rates;

• the nature and duration of our voyage charters;

• vessels repositioning;

• vessel operating expenses and direct voyage costs;

• maintenance and upgrade work;

• the age, condition and specifications of our vessels;

• issuance of our common shares and other securities;

• amount of debt obligations; and

• financing costs related to debt obligations.

We are also affected by the types of charters we enter into.  Vessels operating on period time charters and bareboat time charters provide more predictable cash flows, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market, either on trip time charters or voyage charters, during periods characterized by favorable market conditions.

44

Vessels operating in the spot charter market generate revenues that are less predictable, but can yield increased profit margins during periods of improvements in dry bulk rates. Spot charters also expose vessel owners to the risk of declining dry bulk rates and rising fuel costs in case of voyage charters. The majority of our vessels in 2018 and 2017 operated in the spot charter market, except for the Lordship and the Partnership, while towards the end of 2018 the Championship was also time-chartered on a long-term employment. In 2019 three additional vessels were time-chartered on long-term employment arrangements, the Premiership, the Squireship and the Gloriuship.

Vessel Revenue, Net – The decrease was attributable to the decrease in operating days and was partially offset by the increase in prevailing charter rates. We had 3,393 operating days in 2019, as compared to 3,902 operating days in 2018. The operating days in 2019 were affected by seven vessels which underwent drydocking during 2019, incurring 233 repair days as compared to only 13 days in drydock during 2018. The TCE rate increased by 12% in 2019 to $14,694, as compared to $13,156 in 2018 due to the improved overall earnings environment. TCE rate is a non-GAAP measure.  Please see the reconciliation below of TCE rate to net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Voyage Expenses – The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating days and increased days that our vessels were chartered under time charter arrangements in 2019. We had 3,393 operating days in 2019 as compared to 3,902 operating days in 2018 and 1,633 and 1,514 days under time-charter employment in the respective years.

Vessel Operating Expenses - The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in ownership days as a result of the sale of two vessels towards the end of 2018 coupled with the acquisition of a vessel during the same period. We had 3,650 ownership days in 2019 as compared to 3,931 ownership days in 2018.

Management Fees - The decrease was attributable to the decrease in ownership days. We had 3,650 ownership days in 2019 as compared to 3,931 ownership days in 2018.

45

General and Administration Expenses – The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in management remuneration, legal expenses and professional fees.

Depreciation and Amortization – The increase was primarily attributable to the increased amortization of drydock expenses in 2019 as compared to 2018 which was however partly offset by a decrease in ownership days. Seven vessels performed their scheduled drydocks in 2019.

Impairment loss – The decrease was attributable to the impairment loss of $7.3 million recorded in respect with the Gladiatorship and Guardianship that were both sold in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Interest and Finance Costs - The decrease was primarily attributable to the NSF Loan Facility that was fully repaid in June 2018 and the Jelco Loans and Jelco Notes interest waived for the period of April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, effectively resetting the interest rate to zero for such period. The resetting of the Jelco interest rate was amortized as a deferred finance cost through the respective maturities between 2020 and 2022, thus offsetting the interest and finance cost decrease. The decrease was also partially offset by the amortization of the Wilmington Trust loan facility entered into on June 11, 2018 for the entire 2019, the amortization of the Hanchen financial liability entered into on June 28, 2018 for the entire 2019, the amortization of the Cargill sale and leaseback agreement entered into on November 7, 2018 for the entire 2019 and the amortization of the shares issued to Jelco under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on May 9, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt and convertible notes for the years ended 2019 and 2018 was approximately 5.72% and 7.54%, respectively.

Please see Item 5.A of our Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 25, 2019 for a discussion of the year-to-year comparison between 2018 and 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Fleet – Illustrative Comparison of Possible Excess of Carrying Value Over Estimated Charter-Free Market Value of Certain Vessels

In “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Impairment of long-lived assets”, we discuss our policy for impairing the carrying values of our vessels. Historically, the market values of vessels have experienced volatility, which from time to time may be substantial.  As a result, the charter-free market value of certain of our vessels may have declined below those vessels’ carrying value, even though we would not impair those vessels’ carrying value under our accounting impairment policy. The table set forth below indicates (i) the carrying value of each of our vessels as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and (ii) which of our vessels we believe had a basic market value below their carrying value. This aggregate difference between the carrying value of our vessels and their market value of $33.8 million and $10 million, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represents the amount by which we believe we would have had to reduce our net income if we sold all of such vessels, on industry standard terms, in cash transactions, and to a willing buyer where we are not under any compulsion to sell, and where the buyer was not under any compulsion to buy as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For purposes of this calculation, we assumed that the vessels would be sold at a price that reflected our estimate of their charter-free market values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our estimates of charter-free market value assume that our vessels were all in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair and if inspected would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Our estimates are based on information available from various industry sources, including:

• reports by industry analysts and data providers that focus on our industry and related dynamics affecting vessel values;

• news and industry reports of similar vessel sales;

• news and industry reports of sales of vessels that are not similar to our vessels where we have made certain adjustments in an attempt to derive information that can be used as part of our estimates;

47

• approximate market values for our vessels or similar vessels that we have received from shipbrokers, whether solicited or unsolicited, or that shipbrokers have generally disseminated;

• offers that we may have received from potential purchasers of our vessels; and

• vessel sale prices and values of which we are aware through both formal and informal communications with shipowners, shipbrokers, industry analysts and various other shipping industry participants and observers.

As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of basic market value are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future basic market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them.

* Indicates dry bulk carrier vessels for which we believe, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the basic charter-free market value was lower than the vessel’s carrying value.

We refer you to the risk factor entitled “The market values of our vessels may decrease, which could limit the amount of funds that we can borrow or trigger certain financial covenants under our loan agreements, and we may incur an impairment or, if we sell vessels following a decline in their market value, a loss”.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as prevailing market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, business plans to dispose a vessel earlier than the end of its useful life and other business plans, indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, plus unamortized dry-docking costs, may not be recoverable. The volatile market conditions in the dry bulk market with decreased charter rates and decreased vessel market values are conditions we consider to be indicators of a potential impairment for our vessels.  We determine undiscounted projected operating cash flows, for each vessel and compare it to the vessel’s carrying value. When the undiscounted projected operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel and/or its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount, we impair the carrying amount of the vessel. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset as determined by independent valuators and use of available market data. The undiscounted projected operating cash inflows are determined by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the non-fixed days (based on a combination of one year charter rates estimate and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the outliers) adjusted for commissions, expected off hires due to scheduled vessels’ maintenance and estimated unexpected breakdown off hires. The undiscounted projected operating cash outflows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding vessel operating expenses, management fees and scheduled vessels’ maintenance.

Our assessment concluded that no impairment loss should be recorded as of December 31, 2019. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $7,267 for the year ended December 31, 2018 with respect to the two vessels Gladiatorship and Guardianship that were sold in the fourth quarter of 2018.

48

Although we believe that the assumptions used to evaluate potential asset impairment are based on historical trends and are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective. To minimize such subjectivity, our analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019 also involved sensitivity analysis to the model input we believe is more important and likely to change. In particular, in terms of our estimates for the time charter equivalent for the unfixed period, we use a combination of one-year charter rates estimate and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding outliers. Although the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the outliers, cover at least a full business cycle, we sensitized our model with regards to long-term historical charter rate assumptions for the unfixed period beyond the first year. Our sensitivity analysis revealed that, to the extent that going forward the 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the outliers, would not decline by more than 48% for Capesize vessels and we would not require to recognize impairment. Our analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018 also involved sensitivity analysis to the model input we believe was more important and likely to change. In particular, in terms of our estimates for the time charter equivalent for the unfixed period, we used a combination of one year charter rates estimate and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the trough years 2015 and 2016, available for each type of vessel. Although the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the trough years 2015 and 2016, covered at least a full business cycle, we sensitized our model with regards to long-term historical charter rate assumptions for the unfixed period beyond the first year. Our sensitivity analysis revealed that, to the extent that going forward the 10-year historical charter rates, excluding the trough years 2015 and 2016, would not decline by more than 46% for Capesize vessels, we would not require to recognize impairment.

Vessel depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels (25 years), after considering the estimated salvage value. Salvage value is estimated by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton. Salvage values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or for other reasons. Revisions of salvage values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect the depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 (ASC 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued by the FASB in May 2016 and as further amended, and elected to apply the modified retrospective method only to contracts that were not completed at January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. The prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. Under the new guidance, voyage revenue is recognized from the time when the vessel arrives at the load port until completion of cargo discharge. Previously, voyage revenue was recognized from the latter of the cargo discharge of the previous voyage and the signing of the next charter or date of the new charterparty until completion of cargo discharge. This change results in revenue being recognized over a shorter voyage time period, which may cause additional volatility in revenues and earnings between reporting periods.

Accounting for Revenue and Related Expenses

We generate our revenues from chartering our vessels under time or bareboat charter agreements and voyage charter agreements.

Time and bareboat charters: Vessels are chartered when a contract exists and the vessel is delivered (commencement date) to the charterer, for a fixed period of time, at rates that are generally determined in the main body of charter parties and the relevant voyage expenses burden the charterer (i.e. port dues, canal tolls, pilotages and fuel consumption). Upon delivery of the vessel, the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel (under agreed prudent operating practices) as it has the enforceable right to: (i) decide the delivery and redelivery time of the vessel; (ii) arrange the ports from which the vessel shall pass; (iii) give directions to the master of the vessel regarding vessel’s operations (i.e. speed, route, bunkers purchases, etc.); (iv) sub-charter the vessel and (v) consume any income deriving from the vessel’s charter. Time and bareboat charter agreements are accounted for as operating leases, ratably on a straight line over the duration of the charter basis in accordance with ASC 842. Any variable lease payments are recognized in the period when changes in the facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. Any off-hires are recognized as incurred.

The charterer may charter the vessel with or without owner’s crew and other operating services (time and bareboat charter, respectively). In the case of time charter agreements, the agreed hire rates include compensation for part of the agreed crew and other operating services provided by the owner (non-lease components). We elected to account for the lease and non-lease component of time charter agreements as a combined component in our financial statements, having taken into account that the non-lease component would be accounted for ratably on a straight-line basis over the duration of the time charter in accordance with ASC 606 and that the lease component is considered as the predominant. In this respect, we qualitative assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter agreements.

49

Apart from the agreed hire rates, the owner may be entitled to an additional income, such as ballast bonus which is considered as reimbursement of owner’s expenses and is recognized together with the lease component over the duration of the charter. The related ballast costs incurred over the period between the charterparty date or the prior redelivery date (whichever is latest) and the delivery date to the charterer are deferred and amortized on a straight line over the duration of the charter.

Spot charters: Spot, or voyage, charter is a charter where a contract is made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage for a specified freight rate per ton, regardless of time to complete. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the loading of the cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. Spot charter payments are due upon discharge of the cargo. We have determined that under our spot charters, the charterer has no right to control any part of the use of the vessel. Thus, our spot charters do not contain lease and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. More precisely, we satisfy our single performance obligation to transfer cargo under the contract over the voyage period. Thus, spot charter revenues are recognized ratably over the loading to discharge period (voyage period).

Voyage related and vessel operating costs: Voyage expenses primarily consist of commissions, port dues, canal and bunkers. Vessel operating costs include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores and spares, lubricants, insurance, maintenance and repairs including dry-docking costs. Under spot charter arrangements, voyage expenses that are unique to a particular charter are paid for by us. Under a time charter, specified voyage costs, such as bunkers and port charges are paid by the charterer and other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, are paid by us. Under a bareboat charter, the charterer assumes responsibility for all voyage and vessel operating expenses and risk of operation. Commissions are expensed as incurred. Contract fulfillment costs (mainly consisting of bunker expenses and port dues) for spot charters are recognized as a deferred contract cost and amortized over the voyage period when the relevant criteria under ASC 340-40 are met or are expensed as incurred. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash advances received from charterers. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the charter period.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), as amended, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842) – Targeted Improvements. The amendments in this Update: (i) provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease requirements by allowing entities to initially apply the requirements at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption; and, (ii) provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (ASC 606) and both of the following are met: (a) the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. If the non-lease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, an entity is required to account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 606. Otherwise, the entity should account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842.

We early adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), as amended, retrospectively from January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, and elected to apply the additional and optional transition method to existing leases at the beginning of the period of adoption of January 1, 2018. The prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods (ASC 840), including the disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, we elected certain practical expedients: (i) a package of practical expedients which does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842; (ii) to account for non-lease components (primarily crew and maintenance services) of time charters as a single lease component as the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease component are the same, the lease components, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, and such non-lease components are not predominant components of the combined component. We qualitatively assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter agreements. Therefore, the Company accounts for the combined component as a lease under ASC 842.

50

Sale-leaseback transactions

In accordance with ASC 842, we, as seller-lessee, determine whether the transfer of an asset should be accounted for as a sale in accordance with ASC 606. The existence of an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase the asset precludes the accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) the exercise price of the option is the fair value of the asset at the time the option is exercised and (2) there are alternative assets, substantially the same as the transferred asset, readily available in the marketplace; and the classification of the leaseback as a finance lease or a sales-type lease, precludes the buyer-lessor from obtaining control of the asset. The existence of an obligation for us, as seller-lessee, to repurchase the asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as sale as the transaction would be classified as a financing arrangement by us as we effectively retain control of the underlying asset.

If the transfer of the asset meets the criteria of sale, we as seller-lessee recognize the transaction price for the sale when the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset, derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and accounts for the lease in accordance with ASC 842. If the transfer does not meet the criteria of sale, we do not derecognize the transferred asset, account for any amounts received as a financing arrangement and recognize the difference between the amount of consideration received and the amount of consideration to be paid as interest.

Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures.  For each reporting period, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of funds has been our operating cash inflows, long-term borrowings from banks and our Sponsor, and equity provided by the capital markets and our Sponsor. Our principal use of funds has primarily been capital expenditures to establish our fleet, maintain the quality of our dry bulk vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements, and make principal repayments and interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations.

Our funding and treasury activities are conducted in accordance to corporate policies to maximize investment returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for both our short- and long-term needs. This includes arranging borrowing facilities on a cost-effective basis. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. dollars, with minimal amounts held in Euros.

As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million, as compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2018.

Working capital is equal to current assets minus current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $215.4 million as compared to a working capital deficit of $19.4 million as of December 31, 2018. Our working capital was primarily affected the classification of the long-term debt and other financial liabilities as current due to a technical breach under one of our long-term debt facilities, as well as by the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents balance due to debt installment payments, cash paid for interest and an increase in year-end balances to our trade accounts payable.

As of December 31, 2019, we had total indebtedness under our credit facilities of $209.9 million, excluding unamortized financing fees, as compared to $218.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

51

Our commitments, as of December 31, 2019, primarily relate to debt and interest repayments of $211.5 million under our credit facilities and our credit facilities and convertible notes issued to Jelco (please see “Loan Arrangements”). Our cash flow projections indicate that cash on hand and cash to be provided by operating activities will not be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs that become due in the twelve-month period ending one year after the financial statements’ issuance. We plan to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operations. Concerning the final balloon payments, we are exploring, on an ongoing basis, several alternatives, including refinancing the existing facilities and extending the respective maturities, issuing additional debt or equity securities, entering into restructuring transactions or a combination of the foregoing. These alternatives are supported by the fair market valuation of the vessels, as assessed by third party valuators, which cover sufficiently the underlying loans. In addition, we could consider the sale of some of the collateral vessels to free-up liquidity and support the refinancing of the remaining units by reducing the overall indebtedness. In the event that none of the above materialize, we could consider the sale of all the underlying collaterals (i.e., four vessels) and repay in full the loans under consideration.

Year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to year ended December 31, 2018

Operating Activities:  Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $13.1 million in 2019, consisting of net income after non-cash items of $10.1 million plus an increase in working capital of $3.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $5.7 million in 2018, consisting of net income after non-cash items of $4.5 million plus an increase in working capital of $1.2 million.

Investing Activities: The 2019 cash outflow resulted from the completion of installation of exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on five of its vessels. The 2018 cash outflow primarily resulted from the acquisition of our vessel Fellowship in November 2018 payments related to scrubbers and expenses incurred in respect to the new office space. The 2018 cash outflow was offset by the cash inflow from the sale of our vessels Gladiatorship and Guardianship in October 2018 and November 2018 respectively.

Financing Activities: The 2019 cash inflow resulted mainly from: proceeds from issuance of common stock and warrants, net of underwriters’ fees and commissions, of $13.2 million, proceeds of $4.5 million obtained from the New ATB Loan Facility, proceeds of $1.9 million obtained from Cargill financial liability, proceeds of $5 million from the Fourth Jelco Loan Facility. The 2019 cash inflow was offset by total debt repayments of $17.6 million and $0.7 million financing and stock issuance fees payments. The 2018 cash inflow resulted mainly from: proceeds of $24.5 million obtained from the Wilmington Trust Loan Facility, proceeds of $18.6 million obtained from the June 28, 2018 Hanchen financial liability, proceeds of $23.5 million obtained from the Cargill financial liability on November 7, 2018 and proceeds of $2 million from Jelco loan facility dated April 10, 2018. The 2018 cash inflow was offset by debt repayments of $68.5 million and $1.2 million loan finance fees payments.

Loan Arrangements

Credit Facilities

Leader Alpha Bank Loan Facility

On March 6, 2015, we entered into a $8.75 million secured floating interest rate loan facility with Alpha Bank A.E. to partly finance the acquisition of the Leadership, referred to as the Leader Alpha Bank Loan Facility. The borrower under the facility is our applicable vessel-owning subsidiary and the facility is guaranteed by the Company. On December 23, 2015, July 28, 2016, June 29, 2018 and July 1, 2019, we and Alpha Bank entered into a first, second, third and fourth supplemental agreement, respectively, to the Leader Alpha Bank Loan Facility.

52

As amended to date, the Leader Alpha Bank Loan Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75% and is repayable by a final installment of $0.25 million, payable along with a final balloon payment of $5.0 million due on March 17, 2020. In February 2020, we have received approval, in the form of a commitment letter, from the credit committee of Alpha Bank to, inter alia, extend the maturity of this facility to December 31, 2022. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation. Following the reduction by $0.6 million of four previous repayment installments that were originally due in 2016 and which were added to the balloon installment by the second supplemental agreement, 80% of Leadership’s excess earnings (as defined therein) during each financial year starting from 2016, shall be applied by the lender towards payment of the deferred amount until same is fully repaid. Of the deferred amount, $0.1 million was repaid in 2018 and $0.5 million was further deferred to the final balloon installment in March 2020, pursuant to the fourth supplemental agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the February 2020 commitment letter, certain financial covenants and restrictions on dividend payments binding the Company would no longer apply.

Hamburg Commercial Bank AG (formerly HSH Nordbank AG) Loan Facility

On September 1, 2015, we entered into a $44.4 million senior secured loan facility with Hamburg Commercial Bank AG, or HCOB (at the time of entering into the facility agreement, HSH Nordbank AG), to finance the acquisition of the Geniuship and the Gloriuship, referred to as the HCOB Loan Facility. The borrowers under the facility are our two applicable vessel-owning subsidiaries and the facility is guaranteed by the Company.

The borrower under the facility is the applicable vessel-owning subsidiary and the facility is guaranteed by the Company.

The Wilmington Trust Loan Facility matures in June 13, 2023 and may be extended until June 13, 2025 subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the borrower has the right to sell the ship back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $20.8 million on the fifth anniversary of the loan utilization, referred to as the Year-5 Put Option. If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-5 Put Option, the lender has the right to extend the termination date of the loan by a further two years, in which case the exercise of the Year-5 Put Option by the borrower shall be cancelled in its entirety. Furthermore, the borrower has the right to sell the ship back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $15.0 million on the seventh anniversary of the loan utilization, referred to as the Year-7 Put Option. If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-7 Put Option, then the lenders will be obliged to purchase the ship at the pre-agreed price.

Other Financial Liabilities: Sale and Leaseback Agreements

Hanchen Sale and Leaseback

On June 28, 2018, we entered into a $26.5 million sale and leaseback agreement for the Knightship with Hanchen for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Knightship under the NSF Loan Facility. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary owing the Knightship, or the Charterer, sold and chartered back the vessel on a bareboat basis for an eight year period, having a purchase obligation at the end of the eighth year. The Company has continuous options to buy back the Knightship at any time following the second anniversary of the bareboat charter. The transaction was accounted for as a financial liability. The bareboat charter is secured by a general assignment covering earnings, insurances and requisition compensation, an account pledge agreement, a share pledge agreement of the shares of the Charterer, technical and commercial managers’ undertakings and a guarantee from the Company. Of the $26.5 million purchase price, $18.6 million were cash proceeds, $6.6 million were withheld by Hanchen as an upfront charterhire, and an amount of $1.3 million was paid by the Charterer to Hanchen as security of the due observance and performance by the Charterer of its obligations and undertakings as per the sale and leaseback agreement, or the Charterer’s Deposit. The Charterer’s Deposit can be set off against the balloon payment at maturity. The Charterer is required to maintain a value maintenance ratio (as defined in the additional clauses of the bareboat charter) of at least 120% of the charterhire principal minus the amount of the Charterer’s Deposit and an additional amount of $1.3 million until the second anniversary of the vessel’s delivery date or until a sub-charter in form and substance acceptable to Hanchen is available, whichever is earlier. The charterhire principal bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4% and amortizes in twenty-six consecutive equal quarterly installments of approximately $0.46 million along with a balloon payment of $5.3 million due on June 29, 2026. The charterhire principal, as of December 31, 2019, was $17.1 million.

57

Cargill Sale and Leaseback

On November 7, 2018, we entered into a $23.5 million sale and leaseback agreement for the Championship with Cargill for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Championship under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility. The Company sold and chartered back the vessel from Cargill on a sub-bareboat basis for a five-year period, having a purchase obligation at the end of the fifth year. The transaction was accounted for as a financial liability. The sub-bareboat charter is secured by a guarantee from the Company, a scrubber supply contract assignment, an account pledge agreement and technical and commercial managers’ undertakings. The Company is required to maintain an amount of $1.6 million from the $23.5 million proceeds as a performance guarantee, which amount of $1.6 million will be used at the vessel’s repurchase. Moreover, under the subject sale and leaseback agreement, an additional tranche was provided to the Company for an amount of up to $2.75 million for the purpose of financing the cost associated with the acquisition and installation on board the Championship of an open loop scrubber system. The subject tranche has been placed in an escrow account in the name of Cargill and is made available gradually subject to certain progress milestones. The cost of the financing is equivalent to an expected fixed interest rate of 4.71% for five years. The sale and leaseback agreement does not include any financial covenants or security value maintenance provisions. The Company has continuous options to buy back the vessel during the whole five-year sale and leaseback period at the end of which it has a purchase obligation at $14.05 million. Additionally, at the time of purchase, if the market value of the vessel is greater than a certain floor price, the Company will pay to Cargill 20% of the difference between the market price and the floor price. The floor price started at $30 million on November 7, 2018 and amortizes to $22.8 million at the end of the five year term. The Company has concluded that such contingency shall not be accrued in the financial statements, since information available does not indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the latest balance sheet date and cannot be estimated. Moreover, as part of the transaction, the Company has issued 120,000 of its common shares to Cargill which are subject to customary statutory registration requirements. The fair market value of the shares on the date issued to Cargill will be amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method.  The unamortized balance is classified under other financial liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  The charterhire principal amortizes in forty-seven monthly installments averaging approximately $0.2 million each along with a balloon payment of $14.1 million, including the additional scrubber tranche, at maturity on November 7, 2023. The charterhire principal, as of December 31, 2019, was $24.2 million including the additional scrubber tranche.

D. Trend Information

Our results of operations depend primarily on the charter rates earned by our vessels. Over the course of 2019, the BDI registered a low of 948 on April 6, 2018 and a high of 2,518 on September 4, 2019.

Since the start of the financial crisis in 2008 the performance of the BDI has been characterized by high volatility, as the growth in the size of the dry bulk fleet outpaced growth in vessel demand for an extended period of time.

Specifically, in the period from 2009 to 2019, the size of the fleet in terms of deadweight tons grew by an annual average of about 6.5% while the corresponding growth in demand for dry bulk carriers grew by 4.4%, resulting in a drop of about 48.3% in the value of the BDI over the period. According to tentative projections, the total size of the dry bulk fleet is expected to rise by about 3.8% in 2020, compared to expected demand growth of 2.5%.

C. Board Practices

Our directors do not have service contracts and do not receive any benefits upon termination of their directorships.  Our board of directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating committee and a shipping committee.  Our board of directors has adopted a charter for each of these committees.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Dimitrios Anagnostopoulos and Elias Culucundis.  Our board of directors has determined that the members of the audit committee meet the applicable independence requirements of the Commission and the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Dimitrios Anagnostopoulos is an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” under the Commission’s rules and the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The audit committee has powers and performs the functions customarily performed by such a committee (including those required of such a committee by NASDAQ and the Commission).  The audit committee is responsible for selecting and meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other matters, audits and the adequacy of our accounting and control systems.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Dimitrios Anagnostopoulos and Elias Culucundis, each of whom is an independent director.  The compensation committee reviews and approves the compensation of our executive officers.

Nominating Committee

Our nominating committee consists of Messrs. Elias Culucundis and Dimitrios Anagnostopoulos, each of whom is an independent director.  The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors.

Shipping Committee

We have established a shipping committee.  The purpose of the shipping committee is to consider and vote upon all matters involving shipping and vessel finance in order to accelerate the pace of our decision making in respect of shipping business opportunities, such as the acquisition of vessels or companies.  The shipping industry often demands very prompt review and decision-making with respect to business opportunities.  In recognition of this, and in order to best utilize the experience and skills that our directors bring to us, our board of directors has delegated all such matters to the shipping committee.  Transactions that involve the issuance of our securities or transactions that involve a related party, however, shall not be delegated to the shipping committee but instead shall be considered by the entire board of directors.  The shipping committee consists of three directors.  In accordance with the Amended and Restated Charter of the Shipping Committee, two of the directors on the shipping committee are nominated by Jelco and one of the directors on the shipping committee is nominated by a majority of our board of directors and is an independent member of the board of directors.  The members of the shipping committee are Mr. Stamatios Tsantanis and Ms. Christina Anagnostara, who are Jelco’s nominees, and Mr. Elias Culucundis, who is the board of directors’ nominee.

63

In order to assure the continued existence of the shipping committee, our board of directors has agreed that the shipping committee may not be dissolved and that the duties or composition of the shipping committee may not be altered without the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of our board of directors.  In addition, the duties of our chief executive officer, who is currently Mr. Tsantanis, may not be altered without a similar vote.  These duties and powers include voting the shares of stock that Seanergy owns in its subsidiaries.  In addition to these agreements, we have amended certain provisions in its articles of incorporation and bylaws to incorporate these requirements.

As a result of these various provisions, in general, all shipping-related decisions will be made by Jelco’s appointees to our board of directors unless 80% of the board members vote to change the duties or composition of the shipping committee.

D. Employees

We currently have two executive officers, Mr. Stamatios Tsantanis and Mr. Stavros Gyftakis. In addition, we employ Ms. Theodora Mitropetrou, our general counsel, and a support staff of thirty-five employees.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

See Item 18.

Legal Proceedings

We have previously reported that between 2010 and 2017 certain of our then shareholders, including our former Chairman that served between 2008 to 2010, had brought suits in Greece against certain other shareholders of the Company, our former Chief Financial Officer, and such Chairman’s immediate successor to the board of directors. The plaintiffs withdrew their suits filed in 2010 and 2014 and therefore these are now closed.

The hearing of the only two remaining suits that were filed in 2017 against, amongst other, the former Chairman’s immediate successor, took place on November 15, 2018 and the court’s decision is now expected to be issued. These suits seek damages from the defendants (including our former Chairman) for alleged willful misconduct that purportedly caused the plaintiffs damage both by way of diminution of the value of their shares in the Company and harm to their reputations. Our former Chairman has advised us that he does not believe the action has any merit.

Neither we nor our Directors nor our current executive officers are named in any of these 2017 actions. We have also notified our insurance underwriters of these actions, and our underwriters are advancing a portion of the defendants’ legal expenses.

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business.  Other than the proceedings mentioned above, we are not a party to any material litigation where claims or counterclaims have been filed against us other than routine legal proceedings incidental to our business.

65

Dividend Policy

The declaration, timing and amount of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our earnings, financial condition, market prospects, capital expenditure requirements, investment opportunities, restrictions in our loan agreements, the provisions of the Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends to shareholders, overall market conditions and other factors. We have not declared any dividends since our inception. Our board of directors may review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our plans for future growth and other factors. In addition, since we are a holding company with no material assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries and affiliates through which we conduct our operations, our ability to pay dividends will depend on our subsidiaries and affiliates distributing to us their earnings and cash flow. Some of our loan agreements limit our ability to pay dividends and our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions to us.

B. Significant Changes

There have been no significant changes since the date of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Under Marshall Islands law, there are currently no restrictions on the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or restrictions that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares.

E. Taxation

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax and Marshall Islands tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock as well as the material U.S. federal and Marshall Islands income tax consequences applicable to us and our operations. The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of our common stock and/or warrants that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; or

• an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If you are not described as a U.S. Holder and are not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder”. The U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to Non-U.S. Holders is described below under the heading “United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders”.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our common stock or warrants through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock or warrants, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986. as amended, or the Code, its legislative history, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that will own and hold our common stock and warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

67

• financial institutions or “financial services entities”;

• broker-dealers;

• taxpayers who have elected mark-to-market accounting;

• tax-exempt entities;

• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting shares;

• persons that own shares through an “applicable partnership interest”;

• persons required to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is reported on an “applicable financial statement”;

• persons that hold our common stock or warrants as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction; or

• persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This summary does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

We have not sought, nor will we seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the description herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court.

Because of the complexity of the tax laws and because the tax consequences to any particular holder of our common stock and warrants may be affected by matters not discussed herein, each such holder is urged to consult with its tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock and warrants, including the applicability and effect of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws, as well as U.S. federal tax laws.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

Taxation of Operating Income In General

Unless exempt from United States federal income taxation under the rules discussed below, a foreign corporation is subject to United States federal income taxation in respect of any income that is derived from the use of vessels, from the hiring or leasing of vessels for use on a time, voyage or bareboat charter basis, from the participation in a shipping pool, partnership, strategic alliance, joint operating agreement, code sharing arrangements or other joint venture it directly or indirectly owns or participates in that generates such income, or from the performance of services directly related to those uses, which we refer to as “shipping income”, to the extent that the shipping income is derived from sources within the United States. For these purposes, 50% of the gross shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States, exclusive of certain U.S. territories and possessions, constitutes income from sources within the United States, which we refer to as “U.S. source gross shipping income”.

68

Shipping income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the United States is considered to be 100% from sources within the United States. We are prohibited by law from engaging in transportation that produces income considered to be 100% from sources within the United States.

Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. ports will be considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Shipping income derived from sources outside the United States will not be subject to any United States federal income tax.

For our 2019 taxable year, we had U.S. source gross shipping income of approximately $3,688,713.

We are subject to a 4% tax imposed without allowance for deductions for such taxable year, as described in “ – Taxation in Absence of Exemption”, unless we qualify for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code, the requirements of which are described in detail below.  For our 2019 taxable year, we were subject to a U.S federal tax of $147,548 on our U.S. source gross shipping income.

Exemption of Operating Income from United States Federal Income Taxation

Under Section 883 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, we will be exempt from United States federal income taxation on our U.S.-source shipping income if:

• we are organized in a foreign country (our “country of organization”) that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States one of the following is true; and

• more than 50% of the value of our stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by “qualified shareholders”, that are persons (i) who are “residents” of our country of organization or of another foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States, and (ii) we satisfy certain substantiation requirements, which we refer to as the “50% Ownership Test”; or

• our stock is “primarily” and “regularly” traded on one or more established securities markets in our country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations, or in the United States, which we refer to as the “Publicly-Traded Test”.

The jurisdictions where we and our shipowning subsidiaries are incorporated grant “equivalent exemptions” to United States corporations. Therefore, we will be exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect to our U.S. source shipping income if we satisfy either the 50% Ownership Test or the Publicly-Traded Test.

50% Ownership Test

Under the regulations, a foreign corporation will satisfy the 50% Ownership Test for a taxable year if (i) for at least half of the number of days in the taxable year, more than 50% of the value of its stock is owned, directly or constructively through the application of certain attribution rules prescribed by the regulations, by one or more shareholders who are residents of foreign countries that grant “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States and (ii) the foreign corporation satisfies certain substantiation and reporting requirements with respect to such shareholders. Holders of warrants will not be treated as constructive owners of shares for purposes of the 50% Ownership Test.

We did not satisfy the 50% Ownership Test for our 2019 taxable year. Furthermore, these substantiation requirements are onerous and therefore there can be no assurance that we would be able to satisfy them, even if our share ownership would otherwise satisfy the requirements of the 50% Ownership Test.

Publicly-Traded Test

The regulations provide that the stock of a foreign corporation will be considered to be “primarily traded” on an established securities market in a country if the number of shares of each class of stock used to satisfy the Publicly Traded Test that is traded during the taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares in each such class that is traded during that year on established securities markets in any other single country.

69

Under the regulations, the stock of a foreign corporation will be considered “regularly traded” if one or more classes of its stock representing 50% or more of its outstanding shares, by total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and by total combined value of all classes of stock, are listed on one or more established securities markets (such as NASDAQ Capital Market), which we refer to as the “listing threshold”.

The regulations further require that with respect to each class of stock relied upon to meet the listing requirement: (i) such class of the stock is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least sixty (60) days during the taxable year or one-sixth (1/6) of the days in a short taxable year; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of such class of stock traded on such market is at least 10% of the average number of shares of such class of stock outstanding during such year or as appropriately adjusted in the case of a short taxable year. Even if a foreign corporation does not satisfy both tests, the regulations provide that the trading frequency and trading volume tests will be deemed satisfied by a class of stock if such class of stock is traded on an established market in the United States and such class of stock is regularly quoted by dealers making a market in such stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulations provide, in pertinent part, that a class of stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class of stock are owned, actually or constructively under specified attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own directly or indirectly 5% or more of the vote and value of such class of stock, whom we refer to as “5% Shareholders”. We refer to this restriction in the regulations as the “Closely-Held Rule”.

For purposes of being able to determine our 5% Shareholders, the regulations permit a foreign corporation to rely on Schedule 13G and Schedule 13D filings with the Commission. The regulations further provide that an investment company that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, will not be treated as a 5% Shareholder for such purposes.

Additionally, holders of warrants will not be treated as constructive owners of shares for purposes of the Closely Held Rule.

The Closely-Held Rule will not disqualify a foreign corporation, however, if it can establish and substantiate that qualified shareholders own, actually or constructively under specified attribution rules, sufficient shares in the closely-held block of stock to preclude the shares in the closely-held block that are owned by non-qualified 5% Shareholders from representing 50% or more of the value of such class of stock for more than half of the days during the tax year. These substantiation requirements are onerous and consequently there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy them with respect to any taxable year. We do not believe that we can satisfy that less than 50% of our shares were held for more than half of the days in the 2019 taxable year by non-qualified 5% Shareholders.

Due to the factual nature of the issues involved, there can be no assurance that we or any of our subsidiaries will qualify for the benefits of Section 883 of the Code for our subsequent taxable years.

Taxation in Absence of Exemption

To the extent the benefits of Section 883 are unavailable, our U.S. source gross shipping income, to the extent not considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below, would be subject to a 4% tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions, otherwise referred to as the “4% Tax”. Since under the sourcing rules described above, no more than 50% of our shipping income would be treated as being derived from U.S. sources, the maximum effective rate of U.S. federal income tax on our shipping income would never exceed 2% under the 4% Tax.

To the extent the benefits of the Section 883 exemption are unavailable and our U.S. source gross shipping income is considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below, any such “effectively connected” U.S. source gross shipping income, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to the U.S. federal corporate income tax currently imposed at a rate of 21%. In addition, we may be subject to the 30% “branch profits” tax on earnings effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of our U.S. trade or business.

70

Our U.S. source gross shipping income would be considered “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business only if:

• we have, or are considered to have, a fixed place of business in the United States involved in the earning of shipping income; and

• substantially all of our U.S. source gross shipping income is attributable to regularly scheduled transportation, such as the operation of a vessel that follows a published schedule with repeated sailings at regular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the United States, or, in the case of income from the leasing of a vessel, is attributable to a fixed place of business in the United States.

We do not intend to have, or permit circumstances that would result in having, any vessel operating to the United States on a regularly scheduled basis, or earning income from the leasing of a vessel attributable to a fixed place of business in the United States. Based on the foregoing and on the expected mode of our shipping operations and other activities, we believe that none of our U.S. source gross shipping income will be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

United States Taxation of Gain on Sale of Vessels

Regardless of whether we qualify for exemption under Section 883, we will not be subject to United States federal income taxation with respect to gain realized on a sale of a vessel, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of the United States under United States federal income tax principles. In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the United States for this purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the United States. It is expected that any sale of a vessel by us will be considered to occur outside of the United States.

United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions Paid on Common Stock

Subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, any distributions made by us with respect to common shares to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in his common shares on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as capital gain. Because we are not a U.S. corporation, U.S. Holders that are corporations will generally not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us.

Dividends paid on common shares to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, trust, or estate (a “U.S. Non-Corporate Holder”) will generally be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such shareholders at preferential U.S. federal income tax rates provided that (1) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the Nasdaq Capital Market on which the common shares are currently listed); (2) we are not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (which we do not believe we are or have been, and do not expect to be); (3) the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder has owned the common shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the common shares become ex-dividend; and (4) certain other conditions are met.

Any dividends paid by us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend”—generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a shareholder’s adjusted basis in a common share—paid by us. If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common stock that is treated as “qualified dividend income”, then any loss derived by a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder from the sale or exchange of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend.

Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Common Shares

Assuming we do not constitute a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such stock. Such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the common shares is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

71

Exercise, Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of Warrants

Neither we nor a U.S. Holder of a warrant will recognize gain or loss as a result of the U.S. Holder’s receipt of our common stock upon exercise of a warrant. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares received will be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the warrant exercised plus (ii) the amount of the exercise price for the warrant. If the warrants lapse without exercise, the U.S. Holder will recognize capital loss in the amount equal to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the warrants. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for common shares received upon exercise of a warrant will commence on the date the warrant is exercised.

Upon the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition of a warrant, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in exchange therefor and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the warrant. Any such gain or loss recognized by a holder upon the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition of a warrant will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the warrant has been held for more than one year.

The exercise price of a warrant is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. If an adjustment increases a proportionate interest of the holder of a warrant in the fully diluted common stock without proportionate adjustments to the holders of our common stock, a U.S. Holder of the warrants may be treated as having received a constructive distribution, which may be taxable to the U.S. Holder as a dividend.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock or warrants in a foreign corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, we will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such holder held our common shares or warrants, either:

• at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains and rents derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business); or

• at least 50% of the average value of the assets held by us during such taxable year produce, or is held for the production of, passive income.

For purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as earning and owning our proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of any of its subsidiary corporations in which we own at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary’s stock. Income earned, or deemed earned, by us in connection with the performance of services should not constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income, which includes bareboat hire, would generally constitute “passive income” unless we are treated under specific rules as deriving rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business.

Based on our current operations and future projections, we do not believe that we are or have been a PFIC during our 2019 taxable year, nor do we expect to become, a PFIC with respect to our 2020 taxable year or any future taxable year. Although there is no legal authority directly on point, our belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from the time chartering and voyage chartering activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries should constitute services income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly, we believe that such income does not constitute passive income, and the assets that we or our wholly-owned subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the production of such income, in particular the vessels, do not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of case law and Internal Revenue Service pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. It should be noted that in the absence of any legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, the Internal Revenue Service or a court could disagree with this position. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner so as to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, there can be no assurance that the nature of our operations will not change in the future.

72

As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund”, which election is referred to as a “QEF election”. As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the common shares, as discussed below. In addition, if we were to be treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be required to file an IRS Form 8621 with respect to such holder’s common stock.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election

If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election, which U.S. Holder is referred to as an “Electing Holder”, the Electing Holder must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and its net capital gain, if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not distributions were received from us by the Electing Holder. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in the common shares and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares. A U.S. Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with his, her or its U.S. federal income tax return. After the end of each taxable year, we will determine whether we were a PFIC for such taxable year. If we determine or otherwise become aware that we are a PFIC for any taxable year, we will use commercially best efforts to provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable such holder to make a QEF election for such taxable year. A U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its ownership of a warrant.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election

Alternatively, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and, as anticipated, our common stock is treated as “marketable stock”, a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common shares. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares at the end of the taxable year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares over its fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in his common shares would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder. The mark-to-market election is generally unavailable to U.S. Holders of warrants.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election

Finally, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder who does not make either a QEF election or a “mark-to-market” election for that year, whom we refer to as a “Non-Electing Holder”, would be subject to special rules with respect to (1) any excess distribution (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on our common stock or warrants in a taxable year in excess of 125 percent of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for the common stock or warrants), and (2) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock or warrants. Under these special rules:

• the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holders’ aggregate holding period for the common stock or warrants;

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year before we became a passive foreign investment company would be taxed as ordinary income; and

• the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

73

These penalties would not apply to a pension or profit sharing trust or other tax-exempt organization that did not borrow funds or otherwise utilize leverage in connection with its acquisition of our common stock or warrants. If a Non-Electing Holder who is an individual dies while owning our common stock, such Non-Electing Holder’s successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such stock or warrants.

Net Investment Income Tax

A U.S. Holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) such U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” (or undistributed “net investment income” in the case of estates and trusts) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of such U.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s net investment income will generally include its gross dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of the common shares, unless such dividends or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). Net investment income generally will not include a U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s income and gain (if we are a PFIC and that U.S. Holder makes a QEF election, as described above in “—Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election”). However, a U.S. Holder may elect to treat inclusions of income and gain from a QEF election as net investment income. Failure to make this election could result in a mismatch between a U.S. Holder’s ordinary income and net investment income. If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of the net investment income tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in our common shares or warrants.

United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to our common stock generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of our common stock or warrants unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case such gain from United States sources may be subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally should be subject to tax in the same manner as for a U.S. Holder and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

A Non-U.S. Holder will not recognize any gain or loss on the exercise or lapse of the warrants.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes should apply to distributions made on our common stock within the United States to a non-corporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker by a non-corporate U.S. Holder. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States will be subject to information reporting in limited circumstances.

In addition, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, currently at a rate of 24%, generally should apply to distributions paid on our common stock to a non-corporate U.S. Holder and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by a non-corporate U.S. Holder, who:

• fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

74

• is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or

• fails in certain circumstances to comply with applicable certification requirements.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding generally should be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Individuals who are U.S. Holders (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, certain individuals who are Non-U.S. Holders and certain U.S. entities) who hold “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) are required to file IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset for each taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (or such higher dollar amount as prescribed by applicable Treasury regulations). Specified foreign financial assets would include, among other assets, our common shares, unless the shares are held through an account maintained with a U.S. financial institution. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates relating to our unhedged variable–rate borrowings, according to which we pay interest at LIBOR plus a margin; as such increases in interest rates could affect our results of operations and ability to service our debt.  As of December 31, 2019, we had aggregate variable-rate borrowings, including the convertible notes issued to Jelco, of $138 million.  An increase of 1% in the interest rates of our variable-rate borrowings, as of December 31, 2019 would increase our interest payments $1.5 million per year.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold 1,823,529 units in a private placement to Jelco in exchange for the forgiveness of certain payment obligations of ours, including all interest payments accrued and due through December 31, 2019. As a result, all outstanding Jelco indebtedness has been excluded from variable rate borrowings. We have not entered into any hedging contracts to protect against interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We generate all of our revenue in U.S. dollars.  The minority of our operating expenses (approximately 1% in 2019) and the slight majority of our general and administration expenses (approximately 56% in 2019) are in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro.  For accounting purposes, expenses incurred in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction.  We do not consider the risk from exchange rate fluctuations to be material for our results of operations, as during 2019, these non-US dollar expenses represented 4% of our revenues.  However, the portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in the future, which could expand our exposure to losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations.  We have not hedged currency exchange risks associated with our expenses.

Inflation Risk

We do not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable future.  However, in the event that inflation becomes a significant factor in the global economy, inflationary pressures would result in increased operating, voyage and financing costs.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management (our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (as of December 31, 2019).  The term disclosure controls and procedures is defined under the Commission’s rules as controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

76

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the evaluation date.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management (our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer), has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2019.

However, it should be noted that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements with certainty even when determined to be effective and can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate / obsolete because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As a foreign private issuer, as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, the Company is permitted to follow certain corporate governance rules of its home country in lieu of NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules.  The Company’s corporate governance practices deviate from NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules in the following ways:

• In lieu of obtaining shareholder approval prior to the issuance of designated securities or the adoption of equity compensation plans or material amendments to such equity compensation plans, we will comply with provisions of the BCA, providing that the board of directors approve share issuances and adoptions of and material amendments to equity compensation plans. Likewise, in lieu of obtaining shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in certain circumstances, consistent with the BCA and our restated articles of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws, the board of directors approves certain share issuances.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Item 18.1 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company has not complied with a certain covenant of a loan agreement with a bank. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters also are described in Note 3. The 2019 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2012.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:

Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Seanergy”) was formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on January 4, 2008, with executive offices located in Athens, Greece and an office in Hong Kong. The Company provides global transportation solutions in the dry bulk shipping sector through its subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Seanergy”).

In 2019, the Company changed the presentation of “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”  and reclassified “Other current assets” into a separate line on the consolidated balance sheet. Comparative figures have been recast to reflect this change in presentation.

On March 20, 2019, the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis, following a February 26, 2019 approval from the Company’s Board of Directors to reverse split the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-fifteen (Note 11). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts and operating results of Seanergy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries where Seanergy has control. Control is presumed to exist when Seanergy, through direct or indirect ownership, retains the majority of the voting interest. In addition, Seanergy evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions and any intercompany profit or loss on assets remaining with the Group have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company deconsolidates a subsidiary or derecognizes a group of assets when the Company no longer controls the subsidiary or group of assets specified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 810-10-40-3A. When control is lost, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the qualifying subsidiary or group of assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) concluded that the loss of control and the related deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A is a significant economic event that changes the nature of the investment held in the subsidiary or group of assets. Based on this consideration, a gain or loss is recognized upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include evaluation of relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities, determination of vessel useful lives, allocation of purchase price in a business combination, determination of vessels’ impairment and determination of goodwill impairment.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

Seanergy’s functional currency is the United States dollar since the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s books of accounts are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies are translated into the United States dollar using exchange rates that are in effect at the time of the transaction. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated to United States dollars at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at year-end. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are reflected in the consolidated statement of loss.

(d) Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers, receives charter hires in advance and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Seanergy considers time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(f) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents minimum cash deposits or cash collateral deposits required to be maintained with certain banks under the Company’s borrowing arrangements or in relation to bank guarantees issued on behalf of the Company, which are legally restricted as to withdrawal or use. In the event that the obligation relating to such deposits is expected to be terminated within the next twelve months, these deposits are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets.

(g) Accounts Receivable Trade, Net

Accounts receivable trade, net at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. Receivables related to spot voyages are determined to be unconditional and include in Accounts Receivable Trade, Net. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

(h) Inventories

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value according to the provisions of ASU 2015-11, Inventory. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  Cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

(i) Insurance Claims

The Company records insurance claim recoveries for insured losses incurred on damage to fixed assets and for insured crew medical expenses and for legal fees covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Insurance claim recoveries are recorded, net of any deductible amounts, at the time the Company’s fixed assets suffer insured damages or when crew medical expenses are incurred, recovery is probable under the related insurance policies, the claim is not subject to litigation and the Company can make an estimate of the amount to be reimbursed. The classification of the insurance claims into current and non-current assets is based on management’s expectations as to their collection dates.

(j) Vessels

Vessels acquired as a part of a business combination are recorded at fair market value on the date of acquisition. Vessels acquired as asset acquisitions are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price less discounts, plus any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare for the vessel’s initial voyage). Vessels acquired from entities under common control are recorded at historical cost. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

(k) Vessel Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels (25 years), after considering the estimated salvage value. Salvage value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton. Salvage values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or for other reasons. Revisions of salvage values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Vessels)

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as prevailing market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, business plans to dispose a vessel earlier than the end of its useful life and other business plans, indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, plus unamortized dry-docking costs, may not be recoverable. The volatile market conditions in the dry bulk market with decreased charter rates and decreased vessel market values are conditions that the Company considers to be indicators of a potential impairment for its vessels.

The Company determines undiscounted projected operating cash flows for each vessel and compares it to the vessel’s carrying value. When the undiscounted projected operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel and/or its eventual disposition are less than the vessel’s carrying amount, the Company impairs the carrying amount of the vessel. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset as determined by independent valuators and use of available market data. The undiscounted projected operating cash inflows are determined by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the non-fixed days (based on a combination of one year charter rates estimates and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding outliers) adjusted for commissions, expected off hires due to scheduled maintenance and estimated unexpected breakdown off hires. The undiscounted projected operating cash outflows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding vessel operating expenses and scheduled maintenance.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

(m) Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the expected date of the next dry-docking which is scheduled to become due in 2 to 3 years. Dry-docking costs which are not fully amortized by the next dry-docking period are expensed.

(n) Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, environmental and remediation obligations and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

(o) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generated from time charters, bareboat charters and spot charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel as well as vessel operations for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate, which is generally payable in advance. A bareboat charter is a contract in which the vessel is provided to the charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate, which is generally payable in advance. Spot charter agreements are charter hires, where a contract is made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage at a specified charter rate per ton of cargo.

Time charter revenue, including bareboat charter revenue, is recorded over the term of the charter agreement as the service is provided and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Under a time charter, revenue is adjusted for a vessel’s off hire days due to major repairs, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys (Note 2(p)). Spot charter revenue is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage, when a voyage agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured.

Demurrage income, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging time exceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Demurrage income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $1,528, $2,108 and $1,935, respectively.

Despatch expense, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments to the charterer by the vessel owner when loading or discharging time is faster than the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Despatch expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $432, $612 and $501, respectively.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (“ASC 606” or “the new revenue standard”). The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company analyzed its contacts with charterers as at the adoption date, and determined that its spot charters fall under the provisions of ASC 606, while its time charter agreements contain leases which are evaluated under lease guidance as discussed in Note 2(p).

Under the new revenue standard, voyage revenue is recognized from the time when the vessel arrives at the load port until completion of cargo discharge.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

The adoption of new standard resulted in an increase in the opening Accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018 of approximately $1,788 as a result of the adjustment of Vessels revenue and Voyage expenses. Having not adopted ASC 606, the Company’s consolidated net loss would have been $352 (approximately $0.14 per share) less for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company has taken the practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by the type of charter (time charters and spot charters). The following table presents the Company’s net trade accounts receivable disaggregated by revenue source as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

	December 31,
	2019		2018
Accounts receivable trade, net from spot charters		653		2,332
Accounts receivable trade, net from time charters		1,110		317
Total		1,763		2,649

Deferred revenue represents cash received in advance of performance under the contract prior to the balance sheet date and is realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract in periods after such date. The current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 was $1,663 under ASC 606 and $2,633 under ASC 842. The non-current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 relates entirely to ASC 606. Revenue recognized in 2019 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $890. Revenue recognized in 2018 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $1,741.

(p) Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), and as amended, it requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The Company early adopted ASC 842, as amended from time to time, retrospectively from January 1, 2018. The Company also elected to apply the additional and optional transition method to new and existing leases at the adoption date as well as all the practical expedients which allowed the Company’s existing lease arrangements, in which it was a lessee or lessor, classified as operating leases under ASC 840 to continue to be classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The Company concluded that the criteria for not separating lease and non-lease components of its time charter contracts are met, since (i) the time pattern of recognizing revenues for crew and other services for the operation of the vessels is similar to the time pattern of recognizing rental income, (ii) the lease component of the time charter contracts, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (iii) the predominant component in its time charter agreements is the lease component. In this respect, the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842. The Company recognizes income from lease payments over the lease term on a straight line basis. The Company assessed its new time charter contracts at the adoption date under the new guidance and concluded that these contracts contain a lease with the related executory costs (insurance), as well as non-lease components to provide other services related to the operation of the vessel, with the most substantial service being the crew cost to operate the vessel. The Company recognizes income for variable lease payments in the period when changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments occur. Rental income on the Company’s time charterers is mostly calculated at an index linked rate based on the five T/C routes rate of the Baltic Capesize Index. The Company recognized a right of use asset for rental of office space at the adoption date.

The following table presents the Company’s income statement figures derived from spot charters for the year ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31, 2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		55,701
Voyage expenses		(33,109	)
Total		22,592

The following table presents the Company’s income statement figures derived from time charters for the year ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31, 2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		30,798
Voyage expenses		(3,532	)
Total		27,266

Charterers individually accounting for more than 10% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were:

Customer	2019			2018			2017
A		19	%		26	%		17	%
B		18	%		21	%		-
C		15	%		-			-
D		-			11	%		17	%
Total		52	%		58	%		34	%

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has entered into five long-term time charter agreements for periods of thirty-three to sixty months, with charterer’s option to extend all time charters. The first time charter commenced on November 5, 2018. Two time charters commenced in the third quarter of 2019. The remaining two time charters commenced in the fourth quarter or 2019. During 2019, the Company successfully installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on these five vessels. A portion of the scrubbers cost was paid for by the charterers, where such portion is provided for by the chartering agreements as an increased daily rate, which the Company accounts for on a straight-line basis over the minimum duration of each charter party. Amounts received in advance related to scrubber increased daily rates are recorded in Other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Office lease

In April 2018, the Company moved into new office spaces. Under ASC 842, the lease is classified as an operating lease and a lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the present value of future minimum lease payments have been recognized on the balance sheet. The monthly rent expense is recorded in general and administration expenses. The Company has assessed the lease for impairment, and since no impairment indicators existed, no impairment charge was recorded.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(q) Sale and Leaseback Transactions

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, as seller-lessee, determines whether the transfer of an asset should be accounted for as a sale in accordance with ASC 606. The existence of an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase the asset precludes the accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) the exercise price of the option is the fair value of the asset at the time the option is exercised and (2) there are alternative assets, substantially the same as the transferred asset, readily available in the marketplace; and the classification of the leaseback as a finance lease or a sales-type lease, precludes the buyer-lessor from obtaining control of the asset. The existence of an obligation for the Company, as seller-lessee, to repurchase the asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as sale as the transaction would be classified as a financing arrangement by the Company as it effectively retains control of the underlying asset. If the transfer of the asset meets the criteria of sale, the Company, as seller-lessee recognizes the transaction price for the sale when the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset, derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and accounts for the lease in accordance with ASC 842. If the transfer does not meet the criteria of sale, the Company does not derecognize the transferred asset, accounts for any amounts received as a financing arrangement and recognizes the difference between the amount of consideration received and the amount of consideration to be paid as interest.

(r) Commissions

Commissions, which include address and brokerage commissions, are recognized in the same period as the respective charter revenues. Address commissions to third parties are included in Commissions while brokerage commissions to third parties are included in Voyage expenses.

(s) Vessel Voyage Expenses

Vessel voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal, bunker expenses and brokerage commissions that are unique to a particular charter and are paid for by the charterer under time charter agreements, bareboat charters and other non-specified voyage expenses. Under a spot charter, the Company incurs and pays for certain voyage expenses, primarily consisting of bunkers consumption, brokerage commissions, port and canal costs. Under ASC 606 and after implementation of ASC 340-40 “Other assets and deferred costs” for contract costs, incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, and contract fulfillment costs, are capitalized and amortized as the performance obligation is satisfied, if certain criteria are met. The Company has adopted the practical expedient not to capitalize incremental costs when the amortization period (voyage period) is less than one year. Costs to fulfill the contract prior to arriving at the load port primarily consist of bunkers which are deferred and amortized during the voyage period. Voyage costs arising as performance obligation are expensed as incurred.

(t) Repairs and Maintenance

All repair and maintenance expenses, including major overhauling and underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in Vessel operating expenses.

(u) Financing Costs

Underwriting, legal and other direct costs incurred with the issuance of long-term debt or to refinance existing debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid are expensed in the period the repayment is made. The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheets.

(v) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, when applicable, for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administration expenses.

Maritime Capital Shipping (HK) Limited, the Company’s management office in Hong Kong, is subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profit for the year. The estimated profits tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $NIL.

Seanergy Management Corp. (“Seanergy Management”), the Company’s management company, established in Greece under Greek Law 89/67 (as amended to date), is subject to an annual contribution calculated on the total amount of foreign exchange annually imported and converted to Euros. The contribution to be paid in 2020 by Seanergy Management for 2019 is estimated at $80.

Two of the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries are registered in Malta since May 23, 2018. The subsidiaries are subject to a corporate flat tax rate.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax if the company operating the ships meets both of the following requirements: (a) the Company is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exception to corporations organized in the United States and (b) either (i) more than 50% of the value of the Company’s stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by individuals who are “residents” of the Company’s country of organization or of another foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States (50% Ownership Test) or (ii) the Company’s stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in its country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations, or in the United States (Publicly-Traded Test).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulations provide, in pertinent part, that each class of the Company’s stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class are owned, actually or constructively under specified stock attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the value of such class of the Company’s outstanding stock (“5 Percent Override Rule”).

The Company and each of its subsidiaries did not qualify for this statutory tax exemption for the 2019 taxable year, as the Company did not meet the 50% Ownership Test requirement and was subject to the 5 Percent Override Rule for 2019.

The Company estimates that since no more than the 50% of its shipping income will be treated as being United States source income, the effective tax rate is expected to be 2% and accordingly it anticipates that the impact on its results of operations will not be material. Some of the charterparties contain clauses that permit the Company to seek reimbursement from charterers of any U.S. tax paid. The Company has sought reimbursement and has secured payment from most of its charterers. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax based on its U.S. source shipping income for 2019 2018 and 2017, taking into consideration charterers’ reimbursement, was $22, $NIL and $NIL, respectively.

(w) Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation represents vested and non-vested common stock granted to directors and employees for their services as well as to non-employees. The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for the award based on its fair value on the grant date and recognizes it on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The Company assumes that all non-vested shares will vest. The Company does not include estimated forfeitures in determining the total stock-based compensation expense because it estimates the forfeitures of non-vested shares to be immaterial. The Company re-evaluates the reasonableness of its assumption at each reporting period.

(x) Earnings (Losses) per Share

Basic earnings (losses) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Seanergy’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (losses) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of warrants and shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan. The if-converted method is used to compute the dilutive effect of shares which could be issued upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(y) Segment Reporting

Seanergy reports financial information and evaluates its operations by total charter revenues and not by the length of vessel employment, customer, or type of charter. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus, Seanergy has determined that it operates under one reportable segment. Furthermore, when Seanergy charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.

 (z) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories:

• Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

(aa) Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, to account for all modifications or extinguishments of debt instruments, except debt that is extinguished through a troubled debt restructuring or a conversion of debt to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to conversion privileges provided in terms of the debt at issuance. This Subtopic also provides guidance on whether an exchange of debt instruments with the same creditor constitutes an extinguishment and whether a modification of a debt instrument should be accounted for in the same manner as an extinguishment. In circumstances where an exchange of debt instruments or a modification of a debt instrument does not result in extinguishment accounting, this Subtopic provides guidance on the appropriate accounting treatment. Costs associated with new loans or refinancing of existing loans, including fees paid to lenders or required to be paid to third parties on the lender’s behalf for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing loans, are recorded as deferred charges. Costs paid directly to third parties are expensed as incurred. Deferred financing costs are presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability. Such fees are deferred and amortized to interest and finance costs during the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced, meeting the criteria of debt extinguishment, are expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing is made.

(ab) Convertible Notes and related Beneficial Conversion Features

The convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The terms of each convertible  note included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at a predetermined rate.  The Company determined that the conversion features were beneficial conversion features (“BCF”) pursuant to ASC 470-20. The Company considered the BCF guidance only after determining that the features did not need to be bifurcated under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” or separately accounted for under the cash conversion literature of ASC 470-20.

Accounting for an embedded BCF in a convertible instrument requires that the BCF be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the BCF to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible instrument. This discount is accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the stated maturity date of the convertible instrument using the effective yield method. If the intrinsic value of the BCF is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the BCF is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.The intrinsic value of the BCF is determined as the number of shares converted from the convertible note times the positive difference between the fair value of the stock on the commitment date and the contractual conversion price.

(ac) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the warrants issued in connection with the May 13, 2019 public offering and the Jelco Private Placement has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the warrants should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares. ASC 480 requires that a warrant which contains an obligation that may require the issuer to redeem the shares in cash, be classified as a liability and accounted for at fair value. No warrants were classified as liabilities.

(ad) Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures.  For each reporting period, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which concerns improvements to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that enter into share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The classification of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards will continue to be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered, the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing goods or services. This eliminates the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 did not have a material effect in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.  2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard, including the codification improvements issued in November 2018, requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 Financial Instruments, the amendments of which clarify the modification of accounting for available for sale debt securities excluding applicable accrued interest, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Targeted Transition Relief, which is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2019-100—Targeted Transition Relief for Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which has been deleted. This Update provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial assets upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement-Overall, and 825-10. In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This update introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has assessed all the expected credit losses of its financial assets and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments in the Update apply to all entities that are required under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Codification Improvements—Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments in this update require that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718.The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is required to be measured on the basis of the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award in accordance with Topic 718. The grant date is the date at which a grantor (supplier) and a grantee (customer) reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The classification and subsequent measurement of the award are subject to the guidance in Topic 718 unless the share-based payment award is subsequently modified and the grantee is no longer a customer. The new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2020 for entities that have adopted ASU 2018-07. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

3. Going Concern:

As described in Note 2, management is required under ASC 205-40, Going Concern, to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has scheduled installments and balloon payments that are due within one year as follows:

• $65,523 final balloon installments with respect to three of the Company’s debt facilities.

• $20,506 debt and other financial liabilities installments with respect to third party lenders.

• $28,150 related party loans and notes installments and final balloon installments.

The Company’s cash flow projections for the period after one year after the date that the financial statements are issued indicated that cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities will not be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs that become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued mainly due to the balloon payments that are due within the respective period.

On February 24, 2020, the Company received approval from the credit committee of one of its lenders to, inter alia, extend the maturities of two of its credit facilities to December 31, 2022. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation, following of which, the balloon installments due within one year after the issuance of the financial statements shall refer to only two facilities and shall amount to $60,470 instead of $65,523.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

Any failure on the part of the Company to timely repay the balloons falling due within one year will result in the lenders demanding payment, which can potentially result in payment default that would trigger cross-default provisions in the Company’s remaining facilities. As such, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has classified the long-term portion of its bank debt and other financial liabilities in current liabilities and reported a working capital deficit of $215,354. Since as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements no definite plan has crystalized, the above conditions raised substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operations. Concerning the final balloon payments, management has engaged in advanced discussions with its existing lenders which it believes they will have a positive outcome and is exploring, on an ongoing basis, several alternatives, including refinancing the existing third party and related party facilities and extending the respective maturities, issuing additional debt or equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, in the event that none of the above materialize, Management may consider the sale of all the underlying collaterals (i.e., four vessels) and repay in full the loans the maturity of which falls within 2020, rectifying as such the underlying defaults and consequently the cross default provisions that might be triggered under the remaining facilities. These alternatives are supported by the fair market valuation of the vessels, as assessed by third party valuators, which cover sufficiently the underlying loans.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

4. Transactions with Related Parties:

a. Securities Purchase Agreement:

On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jelco Delta Holding Corp., or Jelco, a company affiliated with Claudia Restis, who is the Company’s principal shareholder, in exchange for, among other things, the full and final settlement of certain unpaid interest and the neutralization of the interest rate under the Jelco Notes and the Jelco Loans (see below) for the period of April 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019 inclusive and a waiver of a mandatory prepayment requirement under the Fourth Jelco Loan (Note 4(c) & 11). In particular, in exchange for: (a) 621,958 Units (Note 11), Jelco settled $2,115 of accrued unpaid interest through March 31, 2019 and (b) 1,201,571 Units, Jelco (i) amended the interest rate at 0% per annum under each of the Jelco Notes and Jelco Loans for the period between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 inclusive, resulting in an elimination of interest payments in an aggregate amount of $3,846 (which was accounted for as a deferred finance cost), and (ii) waived the mandatory prepayment obligation under the Fourth Jelco Loan to prepay the full or any part of the loan by utilizing at least 25% of the net proceeds of any public offering of securities, resulting in a deferred finance cost of $239. The $2,115 accrued unpaid interest settled was written off and an equal amount was recorded in equity at a price of $3.40 per unit which was determined as the fair value of the units at the date of the transaction, by reference to the public offering of units (Note 11) that took place concurrently with the private placement. In this respect, no gain or loss was recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in relation with this transaction. The Company considered the guidance under ASC 470-50 “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” regarding the elimination of interest payments and the deferred finance cost for the waiver of the prepayment of $3,846 and $239, respectively. Such amounts were deemed equivalent to the fair value of the shares issued to Jelco under the Purchase Agreement. The transaction was accounted for as debt modification,and as such, both amounts were recorded in equity and were deferred and amortized over the duration of the related facilities (and presented on the balance sheet against the respective balances as “net of deferred finance costs”).

b. Convertible Notes:

March 12, 2015 - $4,000 Convertible Note (First Jelco Note)

On March 12, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note of $4,000 to Jelco for general corporate purposes. The aggregate outstanding principal is repayable in December 2020. The First Jelco Note is secured by a guarantee from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Emperor Holding Ltd. (“Emperor”), which is the holding company of the vessel-owning subsidiary that owns the Lordship and of the bareboat charterer of the Knightship. On March 26, 2019, the Company and Jelco amended the First Jelco Note, in order to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity to December 31, 2020 and (ii) provide that the aggregate outstanding principal amount along with accrued interest shall be repaid in one bullet payment on the maturity date. On May 29, 2019, the Company and Jelco further amended the First Jelco Note, in order to reflect the changes agreed with Jelco in the Purchase Agreement: (i) interest of $155 unpaid and accrued up to March 31, 2019 inclusive was deemed fully and finally settled, (ii) the interest rate was amended to 0% per annum for the period between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 inclusive and (iii) the interest rate from January 1, 2020 until maturity was set at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 5% with quarterly interest payments. As of December 31, 2019, $3,800 was outstanding under the First Jelco Note.

September 27, 2017 - $13,750 Convertible Note (Third Jelco Note)

On September 27, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note of $13,750 to Jelco for, inter alia, general corporate purposes. The aggregate outstanding principal is repayable in December 2022. The Third Jelco Note is secured by a second preferred mortgage and second priority general assignment covering earnings, insurances and requisition compensation over the Partnership and a guarantee from the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiary that owns the Partnership; all cross collateralized with the First and the Second Jelco Loans (see below) and secured by a guarantee from Emperor. On February 13, 2019, the Company and Jelco amended the Third Jelco Note, in order to, among other things, (i) extend the note’s maturity to December 31, 2022, (ii) provide that the aggregate outstanding principal amount along with unpaid and accrued interest shall be repaid in one bullet payment on the maturity date and (iii) record the second priority securities and the first guarantee mentioned above. The second priority mortgage, second priority general assignment covering earnings, insurances and requisition compensation over the Partnership and the guarantee issued from the vessel’s owning subsidiary were executed on February 15, 2019. Additionally, an option was given to the Company to prepay at any time the whole or any part of the note in a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares in the Company equal to an amount of the note being prepaid divided by a price per share to be agreed with Jelco. On May 29, 2019, the Company and Jelco further amended the Third Jelco Note, in order to reflect the changes agreed with Jelco in the Purchase Agreement: (i) interest of $540 unpaid and accrued up to March 31, 2019 inclusive was deemed fully and finally settled, (ii) the interest rate was amended to 0% per annum for the period between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 inclusive and (iii) the interest rate from January 1, 2020 until the note’s maturity was set at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 5% with quarterly interest payments. As of December 31, 2019, $13,750 was outstanding under the Third Jelco Note.

September 7, 2015 - $24,665 Revolving Convertible Note (Second Jelco Note)

On September 7, 2015, the Company issued a revolving convertible note of $6,765 (the “Applicable Limit”) to Jelco for general corporate purposes. Following twelve amendments to the Second Jelco Note between December 2015 and May 2019, the Applicable Limit was raised to $24,665. Following the eleventh amendment on March 26, 2019, a drawdown request of up to $3,500 can be made by April 10, 2020 (the “Final Revolving Advance Date”). If the request is not made by the Final Revolving Advance Date, the advance will not be available to be drawn. The aggregate outstanding principal is repayable in December 2022. The Second Jelco Note is secured by a guarantee from Emperor. On May 29, 2019, the Company and Jelco amended the Second Jelco Note, in order to reflect the changes agreed with Jelco in the Purchase Agreement: (i) interest of $901 unpaid and accrued up to March 31, 2019 inclusive was deemed fully and finally settled, (ii) the interest rate was amended to 0% per annum for the period between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 inclusive and (iii) the interest rate from January 1, 2020 until the note’s maturity was set at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 5% with quarterly interest payments.  As of December 31, 2019, $21,165 was outstanding under the Second Jelco Note.

The Company refers to the First Jelco Note, the Second Jelco Note and the Third Jelco Note as the “Jelco Notes”.

The Company may, by giving five business days prior written notice to Jelco at any time, prepay the whole or any part of the Jelco Notes in cash or, subject to Jelco’s prior written agreement on the price per share, in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company equal to the amount of the note(s) being prepaid divided by the agreed price per share. At Jelco’s option, the Company’s obligation to repay the principal amount(s) under the Jelco Notes or any part thereof may be paid in common shares at a conversion price of $13.50 per share. Jelco has also received customary registration rights with respect to any shares to be received upon conversion of the Jelco Notes.

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party for the purchase of one second hand Capesize vessel, the Fellowship, for a gross purchase price of $28,700. The vessel was delivered to the Company on November 22, 2018. The acquisition of the vessel was financed through the Amended and Restated UniCredit Loan Facility (Note 8) and by cash on hand.

On September 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate agreements with unaffiliated third parties for the sale of its two Supramax vessels, namely the Gladiatorship and the Guardianship for a gross sale price of $10,960 and $11,700, respectively. The Gladiatorship and the Guardianship were delivered to their new owners on October 11, 2018 and on November 19, 2018, respectively. Proceeds of $9,505 from the sale of Gladiatorship and $10,332 from the sale of Guardianship were retained with UniCredit to fund the acquisition of Fellowship. The Gladiatorship and the Guardianship were impaired since their carrying amount on the sale agreement date was higher than their fair value less cost to sell in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $7,267 was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss. The fair value of the vessels was determined based on the agreed sale prices (Note 9).

During 2019, the Company installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on five of its vessels. The cost of these scrubbers amounted to $21,435 in the aggregate. The cost of the scrubbers was accounted as major improvement and was capitalized to vessels’ cost and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of each vessel. Additionally, an amounts of $31 and $89 of expenditures were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019, all vessels, except for the Knightship and the Championship that are financed through other financial liabilities (sale and leaseback agreements), are mortgaged to secured loans of the Company (Note 8).

The loan was fully drawn down in 2015 and was made available to partially finance the acquisition of the Premiership, Gladiatorship and Guardianship.

On September 25, 2017, in order to partially fund the refinancing of the previous loan facility with Natixis dated December 2, 2015, the facility was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility”), increasing the loan amount by an additional tranche of $16,500, or Tranche B. The amendment and restatement of the facility did not alter the interest rate, the maturity date, the amortization and the repayment terms of the existing tranche under the loan facility, or the financial covenants applicable to the Company as guarantor. On November 7, 2018, ATB entered into a deed of release with respect to the Championship, releasing the underlying borrower in full after the settlement of the outstanding balance of $15,700 pertaining to the specific vessel tranche. The first-priority mortgage over the Championship and all other securities created in favor of ATB for the specific vessel’s tranche were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release. On February 15, 2019, Amsterdam Trade Bank N.V. entered into a further deed of release with respect to the Partnership resulting in a complete release of the facility agreement after full settlement of the outstanding balance of $16,390.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into a new loan facility with ATB, or the New ATB Loan Facility, in order to (i) refinance the existing indebtedness over the Partnership under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility and (ii) for the financing of installation of open loop scrubber systems on the Squireship and Premiership. The New ATB Loan Facility is divided in Tranche A, relating to the refinancing of the Partnership, and Tranches B and C for the financing of the scrubber systems on the Squireship and the Premiership, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, Tranche A is repayable in sixteen equal quarterly installments being $200 each starting from February 26, 2019 and a balloon payment of $13,190 payable on November 27, 2022 and each of Tranche B and C is repayable in one quarterly installment of $162.5 and eleven quarterly installments of $189.8 starting from November 28, 2019 until August 26, 2022.

The facility matures in June 2023 and can be extended until June 2025 subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the borrower has the right to sell the vessel back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $20,800 on the fifth anniversary of the loan utilization (“Year-5 Put Option”). If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-5 Put Option, the lender has the right to extend the termination date of the loan by a further two years, in which case the exercise of the Year-5 Put Option by the borrower shall be cancelled in its entirety. Furthermore, the borrower has the right to sell the ship back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $15,000 on the seventh anniversary of the loan utilization (“Year-7 Put Option”). If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-7 Put Option then the lenders will be obliged to purchase the ship at the pre-agreed price.

Each of the facilities mentioned above is secured by a first priority mortgage over the respective vessel. The Squire Alpha Bank Loan Facility is additionally secured by a second priority mortgage over the Leadership. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants relating to its loan facilities, except for the security cover ratio covenant under the HCOB Loan Facility. Such covenant breach can be rectified by the Company by paying the lender an amount equal to the difference of the value secured and the security requirement of approximately $936, or by providing additional security of $1,123 (Note 3). Even though as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements the lenders have not declared an event of default under the loan agreement, the breach of this financial covenant constitutes an event of default with the passage of time and under certain circumstances and could result in the lender requiring immediate repayment of the outstanding loan, which matures in late June 2020. Management believes that the lender will not demand payment of the loan before its maturity, since the Company will continue to pay interest and loan installments, as they fall due under the existing loan facility.

Other Financial Liabilities - Sale and Leaseback Transactions

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a $26,500 sale and leaseback agreement for the Knightship with Hanchen Limited (“Hanchen”), an affiliate of AVIC International Leasing Co., Ltd., for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Knightship under the previous loan facility with NSF dated November 28, 2016. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Knight Ocean Navigation Co (“Knight”) sold and chartered back the vessel on a bareboat basis for an eight year period, having a purchase obligation of $5,299 at the end of the eighth year and having the option to repurchase the Knightship at any time following the second anniversary of the bareboat charter. Under ASC 842-40, the transaction was accounted for as a financial liability.The bareboat charter is secured by a general assignment covering earnings, insurances and requisition compensation, an account pledge agreement, a share pledge agreement of the shares of the Charterer, technical and commercial managers’ undertakings and a guarantee from the Company. Of the $26,500, $18,550 were cash proceeds, $6,625 was withheld by Hanchen as an upfront charterhire upon the delivery of the vessel, and an amount of $1,325, or Charterer’s Deposit, included in “Deposits assets, non-current” in the consolidated balance sheet, was given as a deposit by Knight to Hanchen upon the delivery of the vessel in order to secure the due observance and performance by Knight of its obligations and undertakings as per the sale and leaseback agreement. The Charterer’s Deposit can be set off against the balloon payment at maturity. The bareboat charter requires Knight to maintain an amount of $1,325 (Note 5) until June 28, 2020 or if earlier, a sub-charter in form and substance acceptable to Hanchen is available. The charterhire principal bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4% and amortizes in thirty-two consecutive equal quarterly installments of approximately $456 along with a balloon payment of $5,299 at maturity on June 29, 2026. The Charterer is required to maintain a value maintenance ratio (as defined in the additional clauses of the bareboat charter) of at least 120% of the charterhire principal minus the Charterer’s Deposit and the additional amount of $1,325 (Note 5). The charterhire principal, as of December 31, 2019, was $17,142.

On November 7, 2018, the Company entered into a $23,500 sale and leaseback agreement for the Championship with Cargill International SA (“Cargill”) for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Championship under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility. The Company sold and chartered back the vessel from Cargill on a bareboat basis for a five year period, having a purchase obligation at the end of the fifth year. Under ASC 842-40, the transaction was accounted for as a financial liability. The Company is required to maintain an amount of $1,600 which may be set-off against the vessel repurchase price (Note 5). Moreover, under the subject sale and leaseback agreement, an additional tranche was provided to the Company for an amount of up to $2,750 for the purpose of financing the cost associated with the acquisition and installation on board the Championship of an open loop scrubber system. The subject tranche has been placed in an escrow account and is made available gradually subject to certain progress milestones. As of December 31, 2019, $248 remained from this additional tranche, which is included in “Other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheet. The cost of the financing is equivalent to an expected fixed interest rate of 4.71% for five years. The sale and leaseback agreement does not include any financial covenants or security value maintenance provisions. The Company has continuous options to buy back the vessel during the whole five-year sale and leaseback period at predetermined prices as set forth in the agreement and at the end of which period it has a purchase obligation at $14,051. Additionally, at the time of purchase, if the market value of the vessel is greater than a floor price, as set forth in the agreement, the Company will pay to Cargill 20% of the difference between the market price and the floor price. The floor price started at $30,000 on November 7, 2018 and reduces to to $22,773 at the end of the five year term.  The Company has concluded that such contingent payment shall not be accrued in the consolidated financial statements, since information available does not indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred (i.e., buy back option) as of the latest balance sheet date and cannot be estimated. Moreover, as part of the transaction, the Company issued 120,000 of its common shares to Cargill which were subject to customary statutory registration requirements. The fair market value of the shares on the date issued to Cargill was $1,541 and amortize over the lease term using the effective interest method.  The unamortized balance is accounted for as a deferred finance cost and is classified in other financial liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The charterhire principal amortizes in sixty monthly installments averaging approximately $167 each along with a balloon payment of $14,051, including the additional scrubber tranche, at maturity on November 7, 2023. The charterhire principal and the scrubber tranche, as of December 31, 2019, was $21,515 and $2,708, respectively.

9. Financial Instruments:

The guidance for fair value measurements applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The same guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value should be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories based on the inputs used to determine its fair value:

• Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

(a) Significant Risks and Uncertainties, including Business and Credit Concentration

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, represent management’s best estimate of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date.

Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

a. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable trade, other current assets and trade accounts and other payables: the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for interest bearing cash classified as restricted cash, non-current.

b. Long-term debt and other financial liabilities: The carrying value of long-term debt and other financial liabilities with variable interest rates approximates the fair market value as the long-term debt and other financial liabilities bear interest at floating interest rate. The fair value of fixed interest long-term debt is estimated using prevailing market rates as of the period end. The Company believes the terms of its fixed interest long-term debt are similar to those that could be procured as of December 31, 2019, and the carrying value of $7,000 approximates the fair market value of $6,907. The fair value of the fixed interest long-term debt has been obtained through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

10. Commitments and Contingencies:

Contingencies

Various claims, lawsuits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities that should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the individual vessels’ actions to the maximum limits as provided by Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.

Commitments

The Company operates certain of its vessels under lease agreements. Time charters typically may provide for charterers’ options to extend the lease terms and termination clauses. The Company’s time charters range from 1 to 60 months and extension periods vary from 11 to 27 months. In addition, the time charters contain termination clauses which protect either the Company or the charterers from material adverse events. Variable lease payments in the Company’s time charters vary based on changes on freight market index. The Company has the option to convert some of these variable lease payments to fixed based on the prevailing Capesize forward freight agreement rates.

The following table sets forth the Company’s future minimum contractual charter revenue based on vessels committed to non-cancelable time charter contracts as at December 31, 2019 (these amounts do not include any assumed off-hire):

Twelve month periods ending December 31,	Amount
2020		45,736
2021		44,234
2022		29,475
2023		5,035
Total		124,480

In April 2018, the Company moved into its new office spaces under a five-year lease term, with a Company’s option to extend the lease term for another five year term. The monthly rent is Euro 13,000 (or $15 based on the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate of €1.0000:$1.1234 as of December 31, 2019), which is adjusted annually by one percent for inflation. The first year’s rent payments had been prepaid as of December 31, 2018. The second year’s rent payments were prepaid in April 2019. Under ASC 842, the lease is classified as an operating lease and a lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the present value of future minimum lease payments have been recognized on the balance sheet. The monthly rent expense is recorded in general and administration expenses.

The following table sets forth the Company’s undiscounted office rental obligations as at December 31, 2019:

Twelve month periods ending December 31,	Amount
2020		127
2021		180

11. Capital Structure:

(a) Common Stock

On February 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC, or “Maxim”, as sales agent, under which the Company would offer and sell, from time to time through Maxim up to $20,000 of its common shares. On June 27, 2017, the Company and Maxim mutually terminated the Equity Distribution Agreement. As of June 27, 2017, the Company has sold a total of 185,477 of its common shares for aggregate net proceeds of $2,597 in connection with this public at-the-market offering. Maxim has received aggregate compensation for such sales of $86 as of June 27, 2017.

On April 10, 2017, the Company issued 8,333 of its common shares to an unaffiliated third party for the provision of investor relations services.

On May 18, 2017, the Company was notified by NASDAQ Stock Market that it was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from April 5, 2017 to May 17, 2017, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This notification had no effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, expiring on November 14, 2017. The Company could cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock was $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. On September 5, 2017, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market confirming that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

On April 23, 2018, the Company received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from March 8, 2018 to April 20, 2018, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company cured the deficiency with a reverse stock split which became effective on March 20, 2019.

On March 20, 2019, the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis, following a February 26, 2019 approval from the Company’s Board of Directors to reverse split the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-fifteen. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. As a result, 961 shares were cancelled in order not to issue fractional shares. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented.

On May 13, 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 4,200,000 Units, each unit consisting of (i) one common share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Common Share”) or a pre-funded warrant to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per common share (a “Pre-Funded Warrant”), (ii) one Class B Warrant to purchase one common share (a “Class B Warrant”) and (iii) one Class C Warrant to purchase one common share (a “Class C Warrant”), for $3.40 per unit. Under (i) above, the Company issued 2,765,000 common shares and 1,435,000 pre-funded warrants. All Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised as of June 30, 2019 resulting in issuance of 1,435,000 Common Shares.  The offering was consummated in connection with the Company’s form F-1 originally filed with the SEC on October 20, 2017, which was further amended. The gross proceeds of the offering, before underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $14,293. The net proceeds from the sale of common shares and warrants, after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses, were approximately $12,647, which proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, prepaying debt.

(All amounts in footnotes in thousands of US Dollars, except for share and per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

On May 13, 2019, the Company sold 1,823,529 Units of the Company in a separate private placement to Jelco, or the Jelco Private Placement, each Unit consisting of (i) one Common Share, (ii) one Class B Warrant, and (iii) one Class C Warrant, for $3.40 per unit, to Jelco in exchange for, among other things, the waiver or forgiveness of certain payment obligations of the Company, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (Note 4).

On July 15, 2019, the Company received a written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from May 31, 2019 to July 12, 2019, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until January 13, 2020 (Note 15). The Company could cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock was $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During that time, the Company’s common stock would continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Note 15).

(b) Warrants

In December 2016, in connection with the public offering of December 13, 2016, the Company granted 11,500,000 class A warrants with an exercise price of $30.00 each. The class A warrants were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trade under the ticker symbol “SHIPW” beginning on December 8, 2016. The class A warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on December 13, 2021. If and only if an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the common shares under the class A warrants is not available, the class A warrants may be exercised, at the holder’s option, pursuant to the “cashless exercise” clause of the class A warrant agreement. Under the “cashless exercise”, the holder will receive a net number of common shares determined according to class A warrant agreement. The Company may call the class A warrants for cancellation upon ten trading days prior written notice commencing thirteen months after issuance, subject to certain conditions, including the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares exceeding $105.00 for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

On May 13, 2019, the Company sold a total of 6,023,529 Units in connection with the public offering and the Jelco Private Placement, with each Unit consisting of (i) one Common Share or Pre-Funded Warrant, (ii) one Class B Warrant and (iii) one Class C Warrant. Each Class B Warrant had an exercise price of $3.74 per share, which was adjusted to $1.00 on December 13, 2019 pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, is exercisable upon issuance and expires three years from issuance. The underwriters partially exercised an over-allotment option granted in connection with the offering and purchased an additional 630,000 Class B Warrants and 630,000 Class C Warrants.  In connection with the Offering, the Company issued the representative of the underwriters a warrant to purchase 210,000 Common Shares (Representative Warrant). Each Class C Warrant has an exercise price of $3.74 per share, is exercisable upon issuance, and expires six months from issuance. Beginning on June 14, 2019, each Class C Warrant was exercisable on a cashless basis under certain circumstances for a number of common shares calculated according to a formula based on the market price at the time of exercise. Each Representative Warrant had an exercise price of $4.25 per share, which was adjusted to $1.00 on December 13, 2019 pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, and is exercisable at any time between November 9, 2019 and May 9, 2022.

13. Loss per Share:

The calculation of net loss per common share is summarized below:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2019			2018			2017
Net loss		(11,698	)		(21,058	)		(3,235	)
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted		15,332,755			2,507,087			2,389,719
Net loss per common share – basic and diluted	$	(0.76	)	$	(8.40	)	$	(1.35	)

As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, securities that could potentially dilute basic LPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted LPS, because to do so would have anti-dilutive effect, are any incremental shares of non-vested equity incentive plan shares (Note 14) and of unexercised warrants (Note 11), both calculated with the treasury stock method, as well as shares assumed to be converted with respect to the convertible  notes (Note 4) calculated with the if-converted method.

14. Equity Incentive Plan:

On February 1, 2018, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 84,000 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Of the total 84,000 shares issued, 38,334 shares were granted to the Company’s board of directors, 44,333 shares were granted to certain of the Company’s employees and 1,333 shares were granted to the sole director of the Company’s commercial manager, a non-employee. The fair value of each share on the grant date was $15.53. All the shares vest over a period of two years.

On January 10, 2019, the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated to increase the aggregate number of shares of the common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 200,000 shares. On January 10, 2019, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 144,000 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan. Of the total 144,000 shares issued, 66,667 shares were granted to the board of directors, 70,666 shares were granted to certain of the Company’s employees and 6,667 shares were granted to the sole director of the Company’s commercial manager, a non-employee.

All the shares vest over a period of two years. 48,000 shares vested on January 10, 2019, 48,000 shares vested on October 1, 2019 and 48,000 shares will vest on October 1, 2020.

On December 30, 2019, the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated to increase the aggregate number of shares of the common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 56,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares.

Restricted shares during 2019, 2018 and 2017 are analyzed as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2016		43,514		$	25.05
Vested		(18,340	)		26.55
Outstanding at December 31, 2017		25,174		$	24.00
Granted		84,000			15.53
Vested		(71,607	)		15.53
Forfeited		(3,066	)		18.60
Outstanding at December 31, 2018		34,501		$	16.35
Granted		144,000			9.15
Vested		(130,499	)		7.02
Forfeited		(333	)		9.15
Outstanding at December 31, 2019		47,669		$	8.36

The fair value of the restricted shares has been determined with reference to the closing price of the Company’s common share on the date the agreements were signed. The aggregate compensation cost is being recognized ratably in the consolidated statement of loss over the respective vesting periods. The related expense for shares granted to the Company’s board of directors and certain of its employees for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $1,295, $1,281 and $591, respectively, and is included under general and administration expenses. The related expense for shares granted to non-employees for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, amounted to $15, $21 and $24, respectively, and is included under voyage expenses.

The unrecognized cost for the non-vested shares granted to the Company’s Board of Directors and certain of its employees as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $181 and $221, respectively. At December 31, 2019, the weighted-average period over which the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted to the Company’s board of directors and its other employees not yet recognized is expected to be recognized is 0.75 year.

15. Subsequent Events

a) On January 14, 2020, the Company received a second written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, from January 13, 2020 to July 13, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

b) On February 24, 2020, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 2,500,000 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan. Of the total 2,500,000 shares issued, 720,000 shares were granted to the non-executive members of the board of directors, 685,000 were granted to the executive officers, 970,000 shares were granted to certain of the Company’s non-executive employees and 125,000 shares were granted to the sole director of the Company’s commercial manager, a non-employee.

The Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to provide certain Key Persons (as defined below), whose initiative and efforts are deemed to be important to the successful conduct of the business of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corporation (the “Company”), with incentives to (a) enter into and remain in the service of the Company or its Affiliates (as defined below), (b) acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, (c) maximize their performance and (d) enhance the long-term performance of the Company.

Administration

Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board to administer the Plan (the “Administrator”); provided that (i) in the event the Company is subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Administrator shall be composed of two or more directors, each of whom is a “Non-Employee Director” (a “Non-Employee Director”) under Rule 16b-3 (as promulgated and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1934 Act, or any successor rule or regulation thereto as in effect from time to time (“Rule 16b-3”)), and (ii) the Administrator shall be composed solely of two or more directors who are “independent directors” under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) is traded; provided further, however, that, (A) the requirement in the preceding clause (i) shall apply only when required to exempt an Award intended to qualify for an exemption under the applicable provisions referenced therein, (B) the requirement in the preceding clause (ii) shall apply only when required pursuant to the applicable rules of the applicable stock exchange and (C) if at any time the Administrator is not so composed as required by the preceding provisions of this sentence, that fact will not invalidate any grant made, or action taken, by the Administrator hereunder that otherwise satisfies the terms of the Plan.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Administrator by the Plan, the Administrator shall have the full power and authority to: (1) designate the Persons (as defined below) to receive Awards (as defined below) under the Plan; (2) determine the types of Awards granted to a participant under the Plan; (3) determine the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated with respect to, Awards; (4) determine the terms and conditions of any Awards; (5) determine whether, and to what extent, and under what circumstances, Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or cancelled, forfeited or suspended, and the methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised, cancelled, forfeited or suspended; (6) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred, either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or the Administrator; (7) construe, interpret and implement the Plan and any Award Agreement (as defined below); (8) prescribe, amend, rescind or waive rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules governing its operation, and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (9)  correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement; and (10) make any other determination and take any other action that the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Administrator, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons.

General Right of Delegation.  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the applicable rules of a stock exchange or any charter, by-laws or other agreement governing the Administrator, the Administrator may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities to any Person or Persons selected by it; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (i) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or (ii) officers of the Company (or directors of the Company) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable) and the rules of any applicable stock exchange.  Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Administrator specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Administrator may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegate.  At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 1.2(b) shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Administrator.

Indemnification.  No member of the Board, the Administrator or any employee of the Company or an Affiliate (each such Person, a "Covered Person") shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder.  Each Covered Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Covered Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award Agreement and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such Covered Person, with the Company's approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Covered Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Covered Person; provided that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and, once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company's choice.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to a Covered Person to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case not subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person's bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company's articles of incorporation or by-laws (in each case, as amended and/or restated).  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under the Company's articles of incorporation or by-laws (in each case, as amended and/or restated), as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Persons or hold them harmless.

Delegation of Authority to Senior Officers.  The Administrator may, in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 1.2(b), delegate, on such terms and conditions as it determines, to one or more senior officers of the Company the authority to make grants of Awards to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below)(including any such prospective employee) and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Award Grants.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards to Non-Employee Directors or administer the Plan with respect to such Awards, in which event the Board shall have all the authority and responsibility granted to the Administrator herein with respect to such Awards.  In determining Awards to be granted under the Plan, the Administrator shall take into account such factors as it deem advisable, which may include taking into account the Company’s performance, the Award recipient’s performance, and/or the satisfaction of any performance goals or targets as may established from time to time.

Persons Eligible for Awards

The Persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan are those directors, officers and employees (including any prospective officer or employee) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and consultants and service providers (including individuals who are employed by or provide services to any entity that is itself such a consultant or service provider) to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, “Key Persons”) as the Administrator shall select.

Types of Awards

Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of (a) “incentive stock options” that are intended to qualify for special U.S. federal income tax treatment pursuant to Sections 421 and 422 of the Code (as defined below), as may be amended from time to time, or pursuant to a successor provision of the Code, and which is so designated in the applicable Award Agreement, (b) non-qualified stock options (i.e., any stock options granted under the Plan that are not “incentive stock options”), (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted stock, (e) restricted stock units and (f) unrestricted stock, all as more fully set forth in the Plan.  The term “Award” means any of the foregoing that are granted under the Plan. No incentive stock option (other than an incentive stock option that may be assumed or issued by the Company in connection with a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies) may be granted under the Plan to a Person who is not eligible to receive an incentive stock option under the Code.

Shares Available for Awards; Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization

Maximum Number.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5(c), the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.0001 (“Common Stock”), with respect to which Awards may at any time be granted under the Plan shall be 3,000,000.  The following shares of Common Stock shall again become available for Awards under the Plan: (i) any shares that are subject to an Award under the Plan and that remain unissued upon the cancellation or termination of such Award for any reason whatsoever; (ii) any shares of restricted stock forfeited pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; provided that any dividend equivalent rights with respect to such shares that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the grantee are also forfeited; and (iii) any shares in respect of which an Award is settled for cash without the delivery of shares to the grantee.  Any shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award shall again become available to be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan.

Source of Shares.  Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or treasury shares.  The Administrator may direct that any stock certificate evidencing shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to such shares.

Adjustments.  i)  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Company shares, other securities or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, repurchase or exchange of Company shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Company shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, other than an Equity Restructuring (as defined below), affects the Company shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares issuable to an individual as set forth in Section 1.5(d).

The Administrator is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including the events described in Section 1.5(c)(i) or the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), other than an Equity Restructuring) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles or law, whenever the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, including providing for (A) adjustment to (1) the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate and (2) the Exercise Price (as defined below) with respect to any Award and (B) a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability or vesting of, or lapse of restrictions on, Awards, or accelerating the termination of Awards by providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event, or, if deemed appropriate or desirable, providing for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award (it being understood that, in such event, any option or stock appreciation right having a per share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share subject to such option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); provided, however, that with respect to options and stock appreciation rights, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 424(h) of the Code.

In the event of (A) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (B) a sale of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or (C) a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (as defined below), the Administrator shall have the power to:

(1)  provide that outstanding options, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted stock units (including any related dividend equivalent right) shall either continue in effect, be assumed or an equivalent award shall be substituted therefor by the successor corporation or a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation;

(2)  cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, options, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted stock units (including each dividend equivalent right related thereto) outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the holder of such Award a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Administrator) of the shares subject to such Award over the aggregate Exercise Price of such Award (it being understood that, in such event, any option or stock appreciation right having a per share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share subject to such option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); or

(3)  notify the holder of an option or stock appreciation right in writing or electronically that each option and stock appreciation right shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of such notice, or such shorter period as the Administrator may determine to be reasonable, and the option or stock appreciation right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period (which period shall expire no later than immediately prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction).

In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5(c):

The number and type of securities or other property subject to each outstanding Award and the Exercise Price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted; and

The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations set forth in Sections 1.5(a) and 1.5(d)).  The adjustments provided under this Section 1.5(c)(iv) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected participant and the Company.

Individual Limit.  Except for the limits set forth in this Section 1.5, no provision of this Plan shall be deemed to limit the number or value of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Administrator may make Awards to any Key Person.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5(c), the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options may be granted under the Plan to any one employee of the Company or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) of the Company during any one calendar year shall not exceed 3,125,000.  Incentive stock options granted and subsequently cancelled or deemed to be cancelled (e.g., as a result of re-pricing) in a calendar year count against the limit in the preceding sentence even after their cancellation.

Definitions of Certain Terms

“Affiliate” shall mean (i) any entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls or is under common control with, the Company and (ii) any entity in which the Company has a significant equity interest, in either case as determined by the Administrator.

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, in connection with a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or a dismissal from Board membership, for purposes of the Plan, the term “for Cause” shall be defined as follows:

“Equity Restructuring” shall mean a non-reciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, that affects the shares of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company) or the share price thereof and causes a change in the per share value of the shares underlying outstanding Awards.

“Exercise Price” shall mean (i) in the case of options, the price specified in the applicable Award Agreement as the price-per-share at which such share can be purchased pursuant to the option or (ii) in the case of stock appreciation rights, the price specified in the applicable Award Agreement as the reference price-per-share used to calculate the amount payable to the grantee.

Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written certificate (“Award Agreement”), which shall contain such provisions as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable and which may, but need not, require execution or acknowledgment by a grantee.  The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

Grant of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock Option Grants.  The Administrator may grant non-qualified stock options and/or incentive stock options (collectively, “options”) to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  Except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in the applicable Award Agreement, no option will be treated as an “incentive stock option” for purposes of the Code.  Incentive stock options may be granted to employees of the Company and any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) of the Company.  In the case of incentive stock options, the terms and conditions of such Awards shall be subject to such applicable rules as may be prescribed by Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the Code and any regulations related thereto, as may be amended from time to time.  If an option is intended to be an incentive stock option, and if for any reason such option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an incentive stock option for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, then, to the extent of such non-qualification, such option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a non-qualified stock option appropriately granted under the Plan; provided that such option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to option Awards.  It shall be the intent of the Administrator to not grant an Award in the form of stock options to any Key Person who is then subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Award if the Common Stock (as defined below) underlying such Award does not then qualify as “service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A.  Furthermore, it shall be the intent of the Administrator, in granting options to Key Persons who are subject to Section 409A and/or 457 of the Code, to structure such options so as to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and/or 457 of the Code, as applicable.

Stock Appreciation Right Grants; Types of Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Administrator may grant stock appreciation rights to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  The terms of a stock appreciation right may provide that it shall be automatically exercised for a payment upon the happening of a specified event that is outside the control of the grantee and that it shall not be otherwise exercisable.  Stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with all or any part of, or independently of, any option granted under the Plan.  It shall be the intent of the Administrator to not grant an Award in the form of stock appreciation rights to any Key Person (i) who is then subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Award if the Common Stock underlying such Award does not then qualify as “service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A or (ii) if such Award would create adverse tax consequences for such Key Person under Section 457A of the Code.

Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights.  The grantee of a stock appreciation right shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, to receive from the Company an amount equal to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right over the Exercise Price of the stock appreciation right, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised.  Each Award Agreement with respect to a stock appreciation right shall set forth the Exercise Price of such Award and, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, the Exercise Price of a stock appreciation right shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; provided that in no event may such Exercise Price be less than the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and (B) the par value of a share of Common Stock.  Payment upon exercise of a stock appreciation right shall be in cash or in shares of Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right) or any combination of both, all as the Administrator shall determine.  Repricing of stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan shall not be permitted (1) to the extent such action could cause adverse tax consequences to the grantee under Sections 409A or 457A of the Code or (2) without prior shareholder approval, to the extent such approval would be required to be obtained by the Company pursuant to the applicable rules of any applicable stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and any action that would be deemed to result in a Repricing of a stock appreciation right shall be deemed null and void if it would cause such adverse tax consequences or if any requisite shareholder approval related thereto is not obtained prior to the effective time of such action.  Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right granted in connection with an option, the number of shares subject to the option shall be reduced by the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised.  Upon the exercise of an option in connection with which a stock appreciation right has been granted, the number of shares subject to the stock appreciation right shall be reduced by the number of shares with respect to which the option is exercised.

Option Exercise Price.  Each Award Agreement with respect to an option shall set forth the Exercise Price of such Award and, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, the Exercise Price of an option shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; provided that in no event may such Exercise Price be less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and (ii) the par value of a share of Common Stock.  Repricing of options granted under the Plan shall not be permitted (1) to the extent such action could cause adverse tax consequences to the grantee under Sections 409A or 457A of the Code or (2) without prior shareholder approval, to the extent such approval would be required to be obtained by the Company pursuant to the applicable rules of any applicable stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and any action that would be deemed to result in a Repricing of an option shall be deemed null and void if it would cause such adverse tax consequences or if any requisite shareholder approval related thereto is not obtained prior to the effective time of such action.

Exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Subject to the other provisions of this Article II and the Plan, each option and stock appreciation right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows:

Timing and Extent of Exercise.  Options and stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the corresponding Award Agreement, but in no event shall any portion of such Award be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Award was granted.  Unless the applicable Award Agreement otherwise provides, an option or stock appreciation right may be exercised from time to time as to all or part of the shares as to which such Award is then exercisable.

Notice of Exercise.  An option or stock appreciation right shall be exercised by the filing of a written notice with the Company or the Company’s designated exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), on such form and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe.

Payment of Exercise Price.  Any written notice of exercise of an option shall be accompanied by payment for the shares being purchased.  Such payment shall be made: (i) by certified or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company or its Exchange Agent) for the full option Exercise Price; (ii) with the consent of the Administrator, which consent shall be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (determined as of the exercise date) equal to all or part of the option Exercise Price and a certified or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company or its Exchange Agent) for any remaining portion of the full option Exercise Price; or (iii) at the sole discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permitted by law, by such other provision, consistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator may from time to time prescribe (whether directly or indirectly through the Exchange Agent), or by any combination of the foregoing payment methods.

Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise.  Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13, promptly after receiving payment of the full option Exercise Price, or after receiving notice of the exercise of a stock appreciation right for which the Administrator determines payment will be made partly or entirely in shares, the Company or its Exchange Agent shall (i) deliver to the grantee, or to such other Person as may then have the right to exercise the Award, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock for which the Award has been exercised or, in the case of stock appreciation rights, for which the Administrator determines will be made in shares or (ii) establish an account evidencing ownership of the stock in uncertificated form.  If the method of payment employed upon an option exercise so requires, and if applicable law permits, an optionee may direct the Company or its Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to deliver the stock certificate(s) to the optionee’s stockbroker.

No Stockholder Rights.  No grantee of an option or stock appreciation right (or other Person having the right to exercise such Award) shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares subject to such Award until the issuance of a stock certificate to such Person for such shares.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(c), no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

Termination of Employment; Death Subsequent to a Termination of Employment

General Rule.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 2.4 or Section 3.5(b)(iii), a grantee who incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board may exercise any outstanding option or stock appreciation right on the following terms and conditions: (i) exercise may be made only to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise the Award on the date of termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board, as applicable; and (ii) exercise must occur within three months after termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board but in no event after the original expiration date of the Award.

Dismissal “for Cause”.  If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board “for Cause”, all options and stock appreciation rights not theretofore exercised shall immediately terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board.

Retirement.  If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board as the result of his or her Retirement, then any outstanding option or stock appreciation right shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of such Retirement, remain exercisable for a period of three years after such Retirement; provided that in no event may such option or stock appreciation right be exercised following the original expiration date of the Award.

Disability.  If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or a dismissal from the Board by reason of a Disability, then any outstanding option or stock appreciation right shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of such termination or dismissal, remain exercisable for a period of one year after such termination or dismissal; provided that in no event may such option or stock appreciation right be exercised following the original expiration date of the Award.

Death.

Termination of Employment as a Result of Grantee’s Death.  If a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or leaves the Board as the result of his or her death, then any outstanding option or stock appreciation right shall, to the extent exercisable at the time of such death, remain exercisable for a period of one year after such death; provided that in no event may such option or stock appreciation right be exercised following the original expiration date of the Award.

(ii) Restrictions on Exercise Following Death.  Any such exercise of an Award following a grantee’s death shall be made only by the grantee’s executor or administrator or other duly appointed representative reasonably acceptable to the Administrator, unless the grantee’s will specifically disposes of such Award, in which case such exercise shall be made only by the recipient of such specific disposition.  If a grantee’s personal representative or the recipient of a specific disposition under the grantee’s will shall be entitled to exercise any Award pursuant to the preceding sentence, such representative or recipient shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement which would have applied to the grantee.

Administrator Discretion.  The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4.

Transferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the applicable Award Agreement evidencing an option or stock appreciation right, during the lifetime of a grantee, each such Award granted to a grantee shall be exercisable only by the grantee, and no such Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  The Administrator may, in any applicable Award Agreement evidencing an option or stock appreciation right, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of the options or stock appreciation rights to (a) the grantee’s spouse, children or grandchildren (“Immediate Family Members”), (b) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members or (c) other parties approved by the Administrator.  Following any such transfer, any transferred options and stock appreciation rights shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

Grant of Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock Grants.  The Administrator may grant restricted shares of Common Stock to such Key Persons, in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  A grantee of a restricted stock Award shall have no rights with respect to such Award unless such grantee accepts the Award within such period as the Administrator shall specify by accepting delivery of a restricted stock Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall determine and, in the event the restricted shares are newly issued by the Company, makes payment to the Company or its Exchange Agent by certified or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Administrator) in an amount at least equal to the par value of the shares covered by the Award (which payment may be waived at the time of grant of the restricted stock Award to the extent the restricted shares granted hereunder are otherwise deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable).

Issuance of Stock Certificate.  Promptly after a grantee accepts a restricted stock Award in accordance with Section 2.6(a), subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13, the Company or its Exchange Agent shall issue to the grantee a stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award or shall establish an account evidencing ownership of the stock in uncertificated form.  Upon the issuance of such stock certificates, or establishment of such account, the grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, subject to: (i) the nontransferability restrictions and forfeiture provisions described in the Plan (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.6); (ii) in the Administrator’s sole discretion, a requirement, as set forth in the Award Agreement, that any dividends paid on such shares shall be held in escrow and, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, shall remain forfeitable until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed; and (iii) any other restrictions and conditions contained in the applicable Award Agreement.

Custody of Stock Certificate.  Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, any stock certificates issued evidencing shares of restricted stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares are free of any restrictions specified in the applicable Award Agreement.  The Administrator may direct that such stock certificates bear a legend setting forth the applicable restrictions on transferability.

Nontransferability.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan or the applicable Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock Award, shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of prior to the lapsing of all restrictions thereon.  The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates (which may depend upon or be related to the attainment of performance goals and other conditions) on which the nontransferability of the restricted stock shall lapse.  The Administrator may, in any applicable Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock Award, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of the shares of restricted stock prior to the lapsing of all restrictions thereon to (i) the grantee’s Immediate Family Members, (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members or (iii) other parties approved by the Administrator.  Following any permitted transfer prior to the lapsing of all restrictions on the restricted stock, any transferred shares of restricted stock shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

Consequence of Termination of Employment.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (i) a grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board and (ii) if a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board as the result of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, all shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination or departure from the Board shall immediately vest as of such date.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, all dividends paid on shares forfeited under this Section 2.6(e) that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the grantee shall also be forfeited, whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or otherwise.  The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(e).

Grant of Restricted Stock Units

Restricted Stock Unit Grants.  The Administrator may grant restricted stock units to such Key Persons, and in such amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  A restricted stock unit granted under the Plan shall confer upon the grantee a right to receive from the Company, conditioned upon the occurrence of such vesting event as shall be determined by the Administrator and specified in the Award Agreement, the number of such grantee’s restricted stock units that vest upon the occurrence of such vesting event multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of vesting.  Payment upon vesting of a restricted stock unit shall be in cash or in shares of Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of vesting) or both, all as the Administrator shall determine, and such payments shall be made to the grantee at such time as provided in the Award Agreement, which the Administrator shall intend to be (i) if Section 409A of the Code is applicable to the grantee, within the period required by Section 409A such that it qualifies as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, unless the Administrator shall provide for deferral of the Award intended to comply with Section 409A, (ii) if Section 457A of the Code is applicable to the grantee, within the period required by Section 457A(d)(3)(B) such that it qualifies for the exemption thereunder, or (iii) if Sections 409A and 457A of the Code are not applicable to the grantee, at such time as determined by the Administrator.

Dividend Equivalents.  The Administrator may include in any Award Agreement with respect to a restricted stock unit a dividend equivalent right entitling the grantee to receive amounts equal to the ordinary dividends that would be paid, during the time such Award is outstanding and unvested, on the shares of Common Stock underlying such Award if such shares were then outstanding.  In the event such a provision is included in a Award Agreement, the Administrator shall determine whether such payments shall be (i) paid to the holder of the Award, as specified in the Award Agreement, either (A) at the same time as the underlying dividends are paid, regardless of the fact that the restricted stock unit has not theretofore vested, or (B) at the time at which the Award’s vesting event occurs, conditioned upon the occurrence of the vesting event, (ii) made in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property and (iii) subject to such other vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate and as shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

Consequence of Termination of Employment.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (i) a grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all restricted stock units that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board and (ii) if a grantee incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board as the result of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, all restricted stock units that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination or departure from the Board shall immediately vest as of such date.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any dividend equivalent rights on any restricted stock units forfeited under this Section 2.7(c) that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the grantee shall also be forfeited, whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or otherwise.  The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(c).

No Stockholder Rights.  No grantee of a restricted stock unit shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Award unless and until a stock certificate is issued with respect to such Award upon the vesting of such Award (it being understood that the Administrator shall determine whether to pay any vested restricted stock unit in the form of cash or Company shares or both), which issuance shall be subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(c), no adjustment to any restricted stock unit shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate, if any, is issued.

Transferability of Restricted Stock Units.  Except as otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock unit, no restricted stock unit granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable.  The Administrator may, in any applicable Award Agreement evidencing a restricted stock unit, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of the restricted stock units to (i) the grantee’s Immediate Family Members, (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members or (iii) other parties approved by the Administrator.  Following any such transfer, any transferred restricted stock units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

Grant of Unrestricted Stock

The Administrator may grant (or sell at a purchase price at least equal to par value) shares of Common Stock free of restrictions under the Plan to such Key Persons and in such amounts and subject to such forfeiture provisions as the Administrator shall determine.  Shares may be thus granted or sold in respect of past services or other valid consideration.

Miscellaneous

Amendment of the Plan; Modification of Awards

Amendment of the Plan.  The Board may from time to time suspend, discontinue, revise or amend the Plan in any respect whatsoever, except that no such amendment shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any obligations under any Award theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee’s death, the Person having the right to exercise the Award).  For purposes of this Section 3.1, any action of the Board or the Administrator that in any way alters or affects the tax treatment of any Award shall not be considered to materially impair any rights of any grantee.

Stockholder Approval Requirement.  If (1) required by applicable rules or regulations of a national securities exchange or the SEC, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval with respect to any amendment to the Plan that (i) expands the types of Awards available under the Plan, (ii) materially increases the aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan, except as permitted pursuant to Section 1.5(c), (iii) materially increases the benefits to participants under the Plan, including any material change to (A) permit, or that has the effect of, a Repricing of any outstanding Award, (B) reduce the price at which shares or options to purchase shares may be offered or (C) extend the duration of the Plan, or (iv) materially expands the class of Persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, or (2) the Administrator determines that it desires to retain the ability to grant incentive stock options under the Plan thereafter, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval with respect to any amendment to the Plan that (i) increases the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan or the individual limit set forth under Section 1.5(d) of the Plan (except, in each case, as permitted pursuant to Section 1.5(c)) or (ii) expands the class of Persons eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan.

Modification of Awards.  The Administrator may cancel any Award under the Plan.  The Administrator also may amend any outstanding Award Agreement, including, without limitation, by amendment which would: (i) accelerate the time or times at which the Award becomes unrestricted, vested or may be exercised; (ii) waive or amend any goals, restrictions or conditions set forth in the Award Agreement; or (iii) waive or amend the operation of Sections 2.4, 2.6(e) or 2.7(c) with respect to the termination of the Award upon termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Award.  However, any such cancellation or amendment (other than an amendment pursuant to Section 1.5, 3.5 or 3.16) that materially impairs the rights or materially increases the obligations of a grantee under an outstanding Award shall be made only with the consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee’s death, the Person having the right to exercise the Award).  In making any modification to an Award (e.g., an amendment resulting in a direct or indirect reduction in the Exercise Price or a waiver or modification under Section 2.4(f), 2.6(e) or 2.7(c)), the Administrator may consider the implications, if any, of such modification under the Code with respect to incentive stock options granted under the Plan and/or Sections 409A and 457A of the Code with respect to Awards granted under the Plan to individuals subject to such provisions of the Code.

Consent Requirement

No Plan Action Without Required Consent.  If the Administrator shall at any time determine that any Consent (as defined below) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any Award under the Plan, the issuance or purchase of shares or other rights thereunder, or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a “Plan Action”), then such Plan Action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such Consent shall have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Administrator.

Consent Defined.  The term “Consent” as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (i) any and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, (ii) any and all written agreements and representations by the grantee with respect to the disposition of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Administrator shall deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made and (iii) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a Plan Action by any governmental or other regulatory bodies.

Nonassignability

Except as provided in Sections 2.4(e), 2.5, 2.6(d) or 2.7(e),(a) no Award or right granted to any Person under the Plan or under any Award Agreement shall be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (b) all rights granted under the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be exercisable during the life of the grantee only by the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative or the grantee’s permissible successors or assigns (as authorized and determined by the Administrator).  All terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements will be binding upon any permitted successors or assigns.

Taxes

Withholding.  A grantee or other Award holder under the Plan shall be required to pay, in cash, to the Company, and the Company and its Affiliates shall have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to such grantee or other Award holder, the amount of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its grant, its exercise, its vesting, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for payment of such taxes.  Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Award under the Plan, with the approval of the Administrator, which the Administrator shall have sole discretion whether or not to give, the grantee may satisfy the foregoing condition by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares having a value equal to the amount of minimum tax required to be withheld.  Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.  Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash.  Such a withholding election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award as may be approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

Liability for Taxes.  Grantees and holders of Awards are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards (including, without limitation, any taxes arising under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code) and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold any such Person harmless from any or all of such taxes.  The Administrator shall have the discretion to organize any deferral program, to require deferral election forms, and to grant or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, to unilaterally modify any Award in a manner that (i) conforms with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable), (ii) voids any participant election to the extent it would violate Sections 409A or 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) and (iii) for any distribution event or election that could be expected to violate Section 409A of the Code, make the distribution only upon the earliest of the first to occur of a "permissible distribution event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or a distribution event that the participant elects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.  The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including, without limitation, Sections 409A and 457A, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards.

Change in Control

Change in Control Defined.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, for purposes of the Plan, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), company or other entity (other than (A) the Company, (B) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate, (C) any company or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the holders of the voting stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company or (D) Jelco Delta Holding Corp., Comet Shipholding Inc. or Claudia Restis, or any entity which Jelco Delta Holding Corp., Comet Shipholding Inc. or Claudia Restis directly or indirectly “controls” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act)) acquires “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company;

the sale of all or substantially all the Company’s assets in one or more related transactions to any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), company or other entity, other than such a sale (A) to a Subsidiary which does not involve a material change in the equity holdings of the Company, (B) to an entity which has acquired all or substantially all the Company’s assets or (C) Jelco Delta Holding Corp., Comet Shipholding Inc., or Claudia Restis or any entity which Jelco Delta Holding Corp., Comet Shipholding Inc. or Claudia Restis directly or indirectly “controls” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act) (any such entity described in clause (A), (B) or (C), the “Acquiring Entity”) if, immediately following such sale, 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Acquiring Entity (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent entity that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Acquiring Entity) is beneficially owned by the holders of the voting stock of the Company, and such voting power among the persons who were holders of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale is, immediately following such sale, held in substantially the same proportions as the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company immediately prior to such sale;

any merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event of the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of which the holders of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar event do not directly or indirectly hold 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock of the surviving entity ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the surviving entity (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent entity that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the surviving entity) and such voting power among the persons who were holders of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale is, immediately following such sale, held in substantially the same proportions as the aggregate voting power of the capital stock ordinarily entitled to elect directors of the Company immediately prior to such sale;

the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

during any period of 12 consecutive calendar months, individuals:

who were directors of the Company on the first day of such period, or

whose election or nomination for election to the Board was recommended or approved by at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors of the Company on the first day of such period, or whose election or nomination for election were so approved,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, for each Award subject to Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred under this Plan with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A of the Code, provided that such limitation shall apply to such Award only to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax effects under Section 409A of the Code.

Effect of a Change in Control.  Unless the Administrator provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control:

notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Award then outstanding shall become fully vested and any restriction and forfeiture provisions thereon imposed pursuant to the Plan and the Award Agreement shall lapse and any Award in the form of an option or stock appreciation right shall be immediately exercisable;

to the extent permitted by law and not otherwise limited by the terms of the Plan, the Administrator may amend any Award Agreement in such manner as it deems appropriate;

a grantee who incurs a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board for any reason, other than a termination or dismissal “for Cause”, concurrent with or within one year following the Change in Control may exercise any outstanding option or stock appreciation right, but only to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise the Award on the date of his or her termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board, until the earlier of (A) the original expiration date of the Award and (B) the later of (x) the date provided for under the terms of Section 2.4 without reference to this Section 3.5(b)(iii) and (y) the first anniversary of the grantee’s termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship or dismissal from the Board.

Miscellaneous.  Whenever deemed appropriate by the Administrator, any action referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 3.5 may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable Change in Control transaction.  For purposes of the Plan and any Award Agreement granted hereunder, the term “Company” shall include any successor to Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corporation.

Operation and Conduct of Business

Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be construed as limiting or preventing the Company or any Affiliate from taking any action with respect to the operation and conduct of their business that they deem appropriate or in their best interests, including any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges or other changes in the capital structure of the Company or any Affiliate, any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any issuance of Company shares or other securities or subscription rights, any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or other securities or rights thereof, any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

No Rights to Awards

No Key Person or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan.

Right of Discharge Reserved

Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any grantee the right to continue his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate, his or her consultancy/service relationship with the Company or any Affiliate, or his or her position as a director of the Company or any Affiliate, or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate such employment or consultancy/service relationship or service as a director.

Non-Uniform Determinations

The Administrator’s determinations and the treatment of Key Persons and grantees and their beneficiaries under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made and determined by the Administrator selectively among Persons who receive, or who are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such Persons are similarly situated).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (a) the Persons to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) the types of Awards granted under the Plan, (c) the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated with respect to, Awards and (d) the terms and conditions of Awards.

Other Payments or Awards

Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company from making any award or payment to any Person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

Headings

Any section, subsection, paragraph or other subdivision headings contained herein are for the purpose of convenience only and are not intended to expand, limit or otherwise define the contents of such subdivisions.

Effective Date and Term of Plan

Adoption; Stockholder Approval.  The Plan was adopted by the Board on January 12, 2011.  The Board may, but need not, make the granting of any Awards under the Plan subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

Termination of Plan.  The Board may terminate the Plan at any time.  All Awards made under the Plan prior to its termination shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements.  No Awards may be granted under the Plan following the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.

Restriction on Issuance of Stock Pursuant to Awards

The Company shall not permit any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan unless such shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable under applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, at the time of the exercise of any Award, at the time of vesting of any Award, at the time of payment of shares of Common Stock in exchange for, or in cancellation of, any Award, or at the time of grant of any unrestricted shares under the Plan, the Company and the Administrator may, if either shall deem it necessary or advisable for any reason, require the holder of an Award (a) to represent in writing to the Company that it is the Award holder’s then-intention to acquire the shares with respect to which the Award is granted for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof or (b) to postpone the date of exercise until such time as the Company has available for delivery to the Award holder a prospectus meeting the requirements of all applicable securities laws; and no sharesshall be issued or transferred in connection with any Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and the Administrator.  The Company and the Administrator shall have the right to condition any issuance of shares to any Award holder hereunder on such Person’s undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on the subsequent transfer of such shares as the Company or the Administrator shall deem necessary or advisable as a result of any applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof, and all share certificates delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company or the Administrator may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such shares are listed, and any applicable securities or other laws, and certificates representing such shares may contain a legend to reflect any such restrictions.  The Administrator may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration under an Award if it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a grantee or other Award holder in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant grantee or other Award holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Administrator has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of any applicable securities laws.

Requirement of Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code or Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section 421(b) of the Code

Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.  If an Award recipient, in connection with the acquisition of Company shares under the Plan, makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code), the grantee shall notify the Administrator of such election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code.

Notification of Disqualifying Disposition of Incentive Stock Options.  If an Award recipient shall make any disposition of Company shares delivered pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions) or any successor provision of the Code, the grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten days thereof.

Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

Sections 409A and 457A

To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any applicable Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A or 457A of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and Award from Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code.

Forfeiture; Clawback

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement that any realized gain with respect to options or stock appreciation rights and any realized value with respect to other Awards shall be subject to forfeiture or clawback, in the event of (a) a grantee’s breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants with respect to the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) a financial restatement that reduces the amount of bonus or incentive compensation previously awarded to a grantee that would have been earned had results been properly reported.

No Trust or Fund Created

Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and an Award recipient or any other Person.  To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or its Affiliate.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

Governing Law

The Plan will be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

AGREEMENT

1. Section 3 of the Promissory Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“3.           Interest.

In the event of a failure by the Maker to pay any amount on the date on which such amount is due and payable pursuant to this Note and irrespective of any notice by the Holder or any other person to the Maker in respect of such failure, the Maker shall pay interest on such amount on demand from the date of such default up to the date of actual payment at the per annum rate which is the aggregate of: (a) two point fifty per cent (2.50%); and (b) the Interest Rate.”

(c) The Maker has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Amendment No. 4 and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Amendment No. 4 to be observed or performed by the Maker; and

2

(d) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Maker, threatened against or affecting the Maker or involving the validity or enforceability of the Promissory Note, at law or in equity, and the Maker is not operating under, or subject to, or in default of, or in violation with respect to, any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any governmental authorities.

5. Holder’s Representations and Warranties: the Holder hereby warrants and represents to the Maker that the Holder has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Amendment No. 4 and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Amendment No. 4 to be observed or performed by the Holder.

6. This Amendment No. 4 may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute on and the same instrument. All such counterparts may be delivered among the parties hereto by facsimile or other electronic transmission, which shall not affect the validity thereof.

7. This Amendment No. 4 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).

Dear Sirs,

Facility Agreement originally entered into on 26 March 2019, and made between (i) Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp., as borrower (the "Borrower") and (ii) Jelco Delta Holding Corp., as lender (the "Lender") in respect of a loan facility of US$7,000,000 (the “Facility Agreement”)

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts and operating results of Seanergy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries where Seanergy has control. Control is presumed to exist when Seanergy, through direct or indirect ownership, retains the majority of the voting interest. In addition, Seanergy evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions and any intercompany profit or loss on assets remaining with the Group have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company deconsolidates a subsidiary or derecognizes a group of assets when the Company no longer controls the subsidiary or group of assets specified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 810-10-40-3A. When control is lost, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the qualifying subsidiary or group of assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) concluded that the loss of control and the related deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A is a significant economic event that changes the nature of the investment held in the subsidiary or group of assets. Based on this consideration, a gain or loss is recognized upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets.

Use of Estimates

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include evaluation of relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities, determination of vessel useful lives, allocation of purchase price in a business combination, determination of vessels’ impairment and determination of goodwill impairment.

Foreign Currency Translation

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

Seanergy’s functional currency is the United States dollar since the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s books of accounts are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies are translated into the United States dollar using exchange rates that are in effect at the time of the transaction. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated to United States dollars at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at year-end. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are reflected in the consolidated statement of loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

(d) Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers, receives charter hires in advance and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Seanergy considers time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

(f) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents minimum cash deposits or cash collateral deposits required to be maintained with certain banks under the Company’s borrowing arrangements or in relation to bank guarantees issued on behalf of the Company, which are legally restricted as to withdrawal or use. In the event that the obligation relating to such deposits is expected to be terminated within the next twelve months, these deposits are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets.

Accounts Receivable Trade, Net

(g) Accounts Receivable Trade, Net

Accounts receivable trade, net at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. Receivables related to spot voyages are determined to be unconditional and include in Accounts Receivable Trade, Net. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Inventories

(h) Inventories

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value according to the provisions of ASU 2015-11, Inventory. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  Cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

Insurance Claims

(i) Insurance Claims

The Company records insurance claim recoveries for insured losses incurred on damage to fixed assets and for insured crew medical expenses and for legal fees covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Insurance claim recoveries are recorded, net of any deductible amounts, at the time the Company’s fixed assets suffer insured damages or when crew medical expenses are incurred, recovery is probable under the related insurance policies, the claim is not subject to litigation and the Company can make an estimate of the amount to be reimbursed. The classification of the insurance claims into current and non-current assets is based on management’s expectations as to their collection dates.

Vessels

(j) Vessels

Vessels acquired as a part of a business combination are recorded at fair market value on the date of acquisition. Vessels acquired as asset acquisitions are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price less discounts, plus any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare for the vessel’s initial voyage). Vessels acquired from entities under common control are recorded at historical cost. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Vessel Depreciation

(k) Vessel Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels (25 years), after considering the estimated salvage value. Salvage value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton. Salvage values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or for other reasons. Revisions of salvage values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Vessels)

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Vessels)

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as prevailing market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, business plans to dispose a vessel earlier than the end of its useful life and other business plans, indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, plus unamortized dry-docking costs, may not be recoverable. The volatile market conditions in the dry bulk market with decreased charter rates and decreased vessel market values are conditions that the Company considers to be indicators of a potential impairment for its vessels.

The Company determines undiscounted projected operating cash flows for each vessel and compares it to the vessel’s carrying value. When the undiscounted projected operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel and/or its eventual disposition are less than the vessel’s carrying amount, the Company impairs the carrying amount of the vessel. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset as determined by independent valuators and use of available market data. The undiscounted projected operating cash inflows are determined by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the non-fixed days (based on a combination of one year charter rates estimates and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding outliers) adjusted for commissions, expected off hires due to scheduled maintenance and estimated unexpected breakdown off hires. The undiscounted projected operating cash outflows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding vessel operating expenses and scheduled maintenance.

Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

(m) Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the expected date of the next dry-docking which is scheduled to become due in 2 to 3 years. Dry-docking costs which are not fully amortized by the next dry-docking period are expensed.

Commitments and Contingencies

(n) Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, environmental and remediation obligations and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Revenue Recognition

(o) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generated from time charters, bareboat charters and spot charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel as well as vessel operations for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate, which is generally payable in advance. A bareboat charter is a contract in which the vessel is provided to the charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate, which is generally payable in advance. Spot charter agreements are charter hires, where a contract is made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage at a specified charter rate per ton of cargo.

Time charter revenue, including bareboat charter revenue, is recorded over the term of the charter agreement as the service is provided and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Under a time charter, revenue is adjusted for a vessel’s off hire days due to major repairs, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys (Note 2(p)). Spot charter revenue is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage, when a voyage agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured.

Demurrage income, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging time exceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Demurrage income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $1,528, $2,108 and $1,935, respectively.

Despatch expense, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments to the charterer by the vessel owner when loading or discharging time is faster than the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Despatch expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $432, $612 and $501, respectively.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (“ASC 606” or “the new revenue standard”). The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company analyzed its contacts with charterers as at the adoption date, and determined that its spot charters fall under the provisions of ASC 606, while its time charter agreements contain leases which are evaluated under lease guidance as discussed in Note 2(p).

Under the new revenue standard, voyage revenue is recognized from the time when the vessel arrives at the load port until completion of cargo discharge.

The adoption of new standard resulted in an increase in the opening Accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018 of approximately $1,788 as a result of the adjustment of Vessels revenue and Voyage expenses. Having not adopted ASC 606, the Company’s consolidated net loss would have been $352 (approximately $0.14 per share) less for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company has taken the practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by the type of charter (time charters and spot charters). The following table presents the Company’s net trade accounts receivable disaggregated by revenue source as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

	December 31,
	2019		2018
Accounts receivable trade, net from spot charters		653		2,332
Accounts receivable trade, net from time charters		1,110		317
Total		1,763		2,649

Deferred revenue represents cash received in advance of performance under the contract prior to the balance sheet date and is realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract in periods after such date. The current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 was $1,663 under ASC 606 and $2,633 under ASC 842. The non-current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 relates entirely to ASC 606. Revenue recognized in 2019 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $890. Revenue recognized in 2018 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $1,741.

Leases

(p) Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), and as amended, it requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The Company early adopted ASC 842, as amended from time to time, retrospectively from January 1, 2018. The Company also elected to apply the additional and optional transition method to new and existing leases at the adoption date as well as all the practical expedients which allowed the Company’s existing lease arrangements, in which it was a lessee or lessor, classified as operating leases under ASC 840 to continue to be classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The Company concluded that the criteria for not separating lease and non-lease components of its time charter contracts are met, since (i) the time pattern of recognizing revenues for crew and other services for the operation of the vessels is similar to the time pattern of recognizing rental income, (ii) the lease component of the time charter contracts, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (iii) the predominant component in its time charter agreements is the lease component. In this respect, the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842. The Company recognizes income from lease payments over the lease term on a straight line basis. The Company assessed its new time charter contracts at the adoption date under the new guidance and concluded that these contracts contain a lease with the related executory costs (insurance), as well as non-lease components to provide other services related to the operation of the vessel, with the most substantial service being the crew cost to operate the vessel. The Company recognizes income for variable lease payments in the period when changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments occur. Rental income on the Company’s time charterers is mostly calculated at an index linked rate based on the five T/C routes rate of the Baltic Capesize Index.The Company recognized a right of use asset for rental of office space at the adoption date.

The following table presents the Company’s income statement figures derived from spot charters for the year ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31, 2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		55,701
Voyage expenses		(33,109	)
Total		22,592

	December 31,
	2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		30,798

Total		27,266

Charterers individually accounting for more than 10% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were:

Customer	2019			2018			2017
A		19	%		26	%		17	%

D		-			11	%		17	%
Total		52	%		58	%		34	%

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has entered into five long-term time charter agreements for periods of thirty-three to sixty months, with charterer’s option to extend all time charters. The first time charter commenced on November 5, 2018. Two time charters commenced in the third quarter of 2019. The remaining two time charters commenced in the fourth quarter or 2019. During 2019, the Company successfully installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on these five vessels. A portion of the scrubbers cost was paid for by the charterers, where such portion is provided for by the chartering agreements as an increased daily rate, which the Company accounts for on a straight-line basis over the minimum duration of each charter party. Amounts received in advance related to scrubber increased daily rates are recorded in Other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Office lease

In April 2018, the Company moved into new office spaces. Under ASC 842, the lease is classified as an operating lease and a lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the present value of future minimum lease payments have been recognized on the balance sheet. The monthly rent expense is recorded in general and administration expenses. The Company has assessed the lease for impairment, and since no impairment indicators existed, no impairment charge was recorded.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

(q) Sale and Leaseback Transactions

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, as seller-lessee, determines whether the transfer of an asset should be accounted for as a sale in accordance with ASC 606. The existence of an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase the asset precludes the accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) the exercise price of the option is the fair value of the asset at the time the option is exercised and (2) there are alternative assets, substantially the same as the transferred asset, readily available in the marketplace; and the classification of the leaseback as a finance lease or a sales-type lease, precludes the buyer-lessor from obtaining control of the asset. The existence of an obligation for the Company, as seller-lessee, to repurchase the asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as sale as the transaction would be classified as a financing arrangement by the Company as it effectively retains control of the underlying asset. If the transfer of the asset meets the criteria of sale, the Company, as seller-lessee recognizes the transaction price for the sale when the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset, derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and accounts for the lease in accordance with ASC 842. If the transfer does not meet the criteria of sale, the Company does not derecognize the transferred asset, accounts for any amounts received as a financing arrangement and recognizes the difference between the amount of consideration received and the amount of consideration to be paid as interest.

Commissions

(r) Commissions

Commissions, which include address and brokerage commissions, are recognized in the same period as the respective charter revenues. Address commissions to third parties are included in Commissions while brokerage commissions to third parties are included in Voyage expenses.

Vessel Voyage Expenses

(s) Vessel Voyage Expenses

Vessel voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal, bunker expenses and brokerage commissions that are unique to a particular charter and are paid for by the charterer under time charter agreements, bareboat charters and other non-specified voyage expenses. Under a spot charter, the Company incurs and pays for certain voyage expenses, primarily consisting of bunkers consumption, brokerage commissions, port and canal costs. Under ASC 606 and after implementation of ASC 340-40 “Other assets and deferred costs” for contract costs, incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, and contract fulfillment costs, are capitalized and amortized as the performance obligation is satisfied, if certain criteria are met. The Company has adopted the practical expedient not to capitalize incremental costs when the amortization period (voyage period) is less than one year. Costs to fulfill the contract prior to arriving at the load port primarily consist of bunkers which are deferred and amortized during the voyage period. Voyage costs arising as performance obligation are expensed as incurred.

Repairs and Maintenance

(t) Repairs and Maintenance

All repair and maintenance expenses, including major overhauling and underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in Vessel operating expenses.

Financing Costs

(u) Financing Costs

Underwriting, legal and other direct costs incurred with the issuance of long-term debt or to refinance existing debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid are expensed in the period the repayment is made. The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheets.

Income Taxes

(v) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, when applicable, for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administration expenses.

Maritime Capital Shipping (HK) Limited, the Company’s management office in Hong Kong, is subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profit for the year. The estimated profits tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $NIL.

Seanergy Management Corp. (“Seanergy Management”), the Company’s management company, established in Greece under Greek Law 89/67 (as amended to date), is subject to an annual contribution calculated on the total amount of foreign exchange annually imported and converted to Euros. The contribution to be paid in 2020 by Seanergy Management for 2019 is estimated at $80.

Two of the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries are registered in Malta since May 23, 2018. The subsidiaries are subject to a corporate flat tax rate.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax if the company operating the ships meets both of the following requirements: (a) the Company is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exception to corporations organized in the United States and (b) either (i) more than 50% of the value of the Company’s stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by individuals who are “residents” of the Company’s country of organization or of another foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States (50% Ownership Test) or (ii) the Company’s stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in its country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations, or in the United States (Publicly-Traded Test).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulations provide, in pertinent part, that each class of the Company’s stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class are owned, actually or constructively under specified stock attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the value of such class of the Company’s outstanding stock (“5 Percent Override Rule”).

The Company and each of its subsidiaries did not qualify for this statutory tax exemption for the 2019 taxable year, as the Company did not meet the 50% Ownership Test requirement and was subject to the 5 Percent Override Rule for 2019.

The Company estimates that since no more than the 50% of its shipping income will be treated as being United States source income, the effective tax rate is expected to be 2% and accordingly it anticipates that the impact on its results of operations will not be material. Some of the charterparties contain clauses that permit the Company to seek reimbursement from charterers of any U.S. tax paid. The Company has sought reimbursement and has secured payment from most of its charterers. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax based on its U.S. source shipping income for 2019 2018 and 2017, taking into consideration charterers’ reimbursement, was $22, $NIL and $NIL, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

(w) Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation represents vested and non-vested common stock granted to directors and employees for their services as well as to non-employees. The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for the award based on its fair value on the grant date and recognizes it on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The Company assumes that all non-vested shares will vest. The Company does not include estimated forfeitures in determining the total stock-based compensation expense because it estimates the forfeitures of non-vested shares to be immaterial. The Company re-evaluates the reasonableness of its assumption at each reporting period.

Earnings (Losses) per Share

(x) Earnings (Losses) per Share

Basic earnings (losses) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Seanergy’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (losses) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of warrants and shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan. The if-converted method is used to compute the dilutive effect of shares which could be issued upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Segment Reporting

(y) Segment Reporting

Seanergy reports financial information and evaluates its operations by total charter revenues and not by the length of vessel employment, customer, or type of charter. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus, Seanergy has determined that it operates under one reportable segment. Furthermore, when Seanergy charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.

Fair Value Measurements

 (z) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories:

• Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

(aa) Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, to account for all modifications or extinguishments of debt instruments, except debt that is extinguished through a troubled debt restructuring or a conversion of debt to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to conversion privileges provided in terms of the debt at issuance. This Subtopic also provides guidance on whether an exchange of debt instruments with the same creditor constitutes an extinguishment and whether a modification of a debt instrument should be accounted for in the same manner as an extinguishment. In circumstances where an exchange of debt instruments or a modification of a debt instrument does not result in extinguishment accounting, this Subtopic provides guidance on the appropriate accounting treatment. Costs associated with new loans or refinancing of existing loans, including fees paid to lenders or required to be paid to third parties on the lender’s behalf for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing loans, are recorded as deferred charges. Costs paid directly to third parties are expensed as incurred. Deferred financing costs are presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability. Such fees are deferred and amortized to interest and finance costs during the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced, meeting the criteria of debt extinguishment, are expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing is made.

Convertible Notes and Related Beneficial Conversion Features

(ab) Convertible Notes and related Beneficial Conversion Features

The convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The terms of each convertible  note included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at a predetermined rate.  The Company determined that the conversion features were beneficial conversion features (“BCF”) pursuant to ASC 470-20. The Company considered the BCF guidance only after determining that the features did not need to be bifurcated under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” or separately accounted for under the cash conversion literature of ASC 470-20.

Accounting for an embedded BCF in a convertible instrument requires that the BCF be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the BCF to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible instrument. This discount is accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the stated maturity date of the convertible instrument using the effective yield method. If the intrinsic value of the BCF is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the BCF is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.The intrinsic value of the BCF is determined as the number of shares converted from the convertible note times the positive difference between the fair value of the stock on the commitment date and the contractual conversion price.

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

(ac) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the warrants issued in connection with the May 13, 2019 public offering and the Jelco Private Placement has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the warrants should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares. ASC 480 requires that a warrant which contains an obligation that may require the issuer to redeem the shares in cash, be classified as a liability and accounted for at fair value. No warrants were classified as liabilities.

Going Concern

(ad) Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures.  For each reporting period, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which concerns improvements to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that enter into share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The classification of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards will continue to be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered, the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing goods or services. This eliminates the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 did not have a material effect in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.  2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard, including the codification improvements issued in November 2018, requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 Financial Instruments, the amendments of which clarify the modification of accounting for available for sale debt securities excluding applicable accrued interest, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Targeted Transition Relief, which is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2019-100—Targeted Transition Relief for Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which has been deleted. This Update provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial assets upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement-Overall, and 825-10. In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This update introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has assessed all the expected credit losses of its financial assets and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments in the Update apply to all entities that are required under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Codification Improvements—Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments in this update require that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718.The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is required to be measured on the basis of the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award in accordance with Topic 718. The grant date is the date at which a grantor (supplier) and a grantee (customer) reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The classification and subsequent measurement of the award are subject to the guidance in Topic 718 unless the share-based payment award is subsequently modified and the grantee is no longer a customer. The new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2020 for entities that have adopted ASU 2018-07. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Going Concern [Abstract]

Going Concern

3. Going Concern:

As described in Note 2, management is required under ASC 205-40, Going Concern, to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has scheduled installments and balloon payments that are due within one year as follows:

• $65,523 final balloon installments with respect to three of the Company’s debt facilities.

• $20,506 debt and other financial liabilities installments with respect to third party lenders.

• $28,150 related party loans and notes installments and final balloon installments.

The Company’s cash flow projections for the period after one year after the date that the financial statements are issued indicated that cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities will not be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs that become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued mainly due to the balloon payments that are due within the respective period.

On February 24, 2020, the Company received approval from the credit committee of one of its lenders to, inter alia, extend the maturities of two of its credit facilities to December 31, 2022. This approval is subject to completion of definitive documentation, following of which, the balloon installments due within one year after the issuance of the financial statements shall refer to only two facilities and shall amount to $60,470 instead of $65,523.

Any failure on the part of the Company to timely repay the balloons falling due within one year will result in the lenders demanding payment, which can potentially result in payment default that would trigger cross-default provisions in the Company’s remaining facilities. As such, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has classified the long-term portion of its bank debt and other financial liabilities in current liabilities and reported a working capital deficit of $215,354. Since as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements no definite plan has crystalized, the above conditions raised substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operations. Concerning the final balloon payments, management has engaged in advanced discussions with its existing lenders which it believes they will have a positive outcome and is exploring, on an ongoing basis, several alternatives, including refinancing the existing third party and related party facilities and extending the respective maturities, issuing additional debt or equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, in the event that none of the above materialize, Management may consider the sale of all the underlying collaterals (i.e., four vessels) and repay in full the loans the maturity of which falls within 2020, rectifying as such the underlying defaults and consequently the cross default provisions that might be triggered under the remaining facilities. These alternatives are supported by the fair market valuation of the vessels, as assessed by third party valuators, which cover sufficiently the underlying loans.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

9. Financial Instruments:

The guidance for fair value measurements applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The same guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value should be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories based on the inputs used to determine its fair value:

• Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

(a) Significant Risks and Uncertainties, including Business and Credit Concentration

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, represent management’s best estimate of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date.

Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

a. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable trade, other current assets and trade accounts and other payables: the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for interest bearing cash classified as restricted cash, non-current.

b. Long-term debt and other financial liabilities: The carrying value of long-term debt and other financial liabilities with variable interest rates approximates the fair market value as the long-term debt and other financial liabilities bear interest at floating interest rate. The fair value of fixed interest long-term debt is estimated using prevailing market rates as of the period end. The Company believes the terms of its fixed interest long-term debt are similar to those that could be procured as of December 31, 2019, and the carrying value of $7,000 approximates the fair market value of $6,907. The fair value of the fixed interest long-term debt has been obtained through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The calculation of net loss per common share is summarized below:

	For the years ended December 31,

As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, securities that could potentially dilute basic LPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted LPS, because to do so would have anti-dilutive effect, are any incremental shares of non-vested equity incentive plan shares (Note 14) and of unexercised warrants (Note 11), both calculated with the treasury stock method, as well as shares assumed to be converted with respect to the convertible  notes (Note 4) calculated with the if-converted method.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts and operating results of Seanergy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries where Seanergy has control. Control is presumed to exist when Seanergy, through direct or indirect ownership, retains the majority of the voting interest. In addition, Seanergy evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions and any intercompany profit or loss on assets remaining with the Group have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company deconsolidates a subsidiary or derecognizes a group of assets when the Company no longer controls the subsidiary or group of assets specified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 810-10-40-3A. When control is lost, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the qualifying subsidiary or group of assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) concluded that the loss of control and the related deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A is a significant economic event that changes the nature of the investment held in the subsidiary or group of assets. Based on this consideration, a gain or loss is recognized upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include evaluation of relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities, determination of vessel useful lives, allocation of purchase price in a business combination, determination of vessels’ impairment and determination of goodwill impairment.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

Seanergy’s functional currency is the United States dollar since the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s books of accounts are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies are translated into the United States dollar using exchange rates that are in effect at the time of the transaction. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated to United States dollars at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at year-end. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are reflected in the consolidated statement of loss.

(d) Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers, receives charter hires in advance and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Seanergy considers time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(f) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents minimum cash deposits or cash collateral deposits required to be maintained with certain banks under the Company’s borrowing arrangements or in relation to bank guarantees issued on behalf of the Company, which are legally restricted as to withdrawal or use. In the event that the obligation relating to such deposits is expected to be terminated within the next twelve months, these deposits are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets.

(g) Accounts Receivable Trade, Net

Accounts receivable trade, net at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. Receivables related to spot voyages are determined to be unconditional and include in Accounts Receivable Trade, Net. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

(h) Inventories

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value according to the provisions of ASU 2015-11, Inventory. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  Cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

(i) Insurance Claims

The Company records insurance claim recoveries for insured losses incurred on damage to fixed assets and for insured crew medical expenses and for legal fees covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Insurance claim recoveries are recorded, net of any deductible amounts, at the time the Company’s fixed assets suffer insured damages or when crew medical expenses are incurred, recovery is probable under the related insurance policies, the claim is not subject to litigation and the Company can make an estimate of the amount to be reimbursed. The classification of the insurance claims into current and non-current assets is based on management’s expectations as to their collection dates.

(j) Vessels

Vessels acquired as a part of a business combination are recorded at fair market value on the date of acquisition. Vessels acquired as asset acquisitions are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price less discounts, plus any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare for the vessel’s initial voyage). Vessels acquired from entities under common control are recorded at historical cost. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

(k) Vessel Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels (25 years), after considering the estimated salvage value. Salvage value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton. Salvage values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or for other reasons. Revisions of salvage values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Vessels)

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as prevailing market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, business plans to dispose a vessel earlier than the end of its useful life and other business plans, indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, plus unamortized dry-docking costs, may not be recoverable. The volatile market conditions in the dry bulk market with decreased charter rates and decreased vessel market values are conditions that the Company considers to be indicators of a potential impairment for its vessels.

The Company determines undiscounted projected operating cash flows for each vessel and compares it to the vessel’s carrying value. When the undiscounted projected operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel and/or its eventual disposition are less than the vessel’s carrying amount, the Company impairs the carrying amount of the vessel. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset as determined by independent valuators and use of available market data. The undiscounted projected operating cash inflows are determined by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the non-fixed days (based on a combination of one year charter rates estimates and the average of the trailing 10-year historical charter rates, excluding outliers) adjusted for commissions, expected off hires due to scheduled maintenance and estimated unexpected breakdown off hires. The undiscounted projected operating cash outflows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding vessel operating expenses and scheduled maintenance.

(m) Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the expected date of the next dry-docking which is scheduled to become due in 2 to 3 years. Dry-docking costs which are not fully amortized by the next dry-docking period are expensed.

(n) Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, environmental and remediation obligations and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

(o) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generated from time charters, bareboat charters and spot charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel as well as vessel operations for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate, which is generally payable in advance. A bareboat charter is a contract in which the vessel is provided to the charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate, which is generally payable in advance. Spot charter agreements are charter hires, where a contract is made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage at a specified charter rate per ton of cargo.

Time charter revenue, including bareboat charter revenue, is recorded over the term of the charter agreement as the service is provided and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Under a time charter, revenue is adjusted for a vessel’s off hire days due to major repairs, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys (Note 2(p)). Spot charter revenue is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage, when a voyage agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured.

Demurrage income, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging time exceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Demurrage income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $1,528, $2,108 and $1,935, respectively.

Despatch expense, which is considered a form of variable consideration and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied, is included in voyage revenues, and represents payments to the charterer by the vessel owner when loading or discharging time is faster than the stipulated time in the voyage charter agreements. Despatch expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $432, $612 and $501, respectively.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (“ASC 606” or “the new revenue standard”). The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company analyzed its contacts with charterers as at the adoption date, and determined that its spot charters fall under the provisions of ASC 606, while its time charter agreements contain leases which are evaluated under lease guidance as discussed in Note 2(p).

Under the new revenue standard, voyage revenue is recognized from the time when the vessel arrives at the load port until completion of cargo discharge.

The adoption of new standard resulted in an increase in the opening Accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018 of approximately $1,788 as a result of the adjustment of Vessels revenue and Voyage expenses. Having not adopted ASC 606, the Company’s consolidated net loss would have been $352 (approximately $0.14 per share) less for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company has taken the practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by the type of charter (time charters and spot charters). The following table presents the Company’s net trade accounts receivable disaggregated by revenue source as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

	December 31,
	2019		2018
Accounts receivable trade, net from spot charters		653		2,332
Accounts receivable trade, net from time charters		1,110		317
Total		1,763		2,649

Deferred revenue represents cash received in advance of performance under the contract prior to the balance sheet date and is realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract in periods after such date. The current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 was $1,663 under ASC 606 and $2,633 under ASC 842. The non-current portion of Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 relates entirely to ASC 606. Revenue recognized in 2019 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $890. Revenue recognized in 2018 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $1,741.

(p) Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), and as amended, it requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The Company early adopted ASC 842, as amended from time to time, retrospectively from January 1, 2018. The Company also elected to apply the additional and optional transition method to new and existing leases at the adoption date as well as all the practical expedients which allowed the Company’s existing lease arrangements, in which it was a lessee or lessor, classified as operating leases under ASC 840 to continue to be classified as operating leases under ASC 842. The Company concluded that the criteria for not separating lease and non-lease components of its time charter contracts are met, since (i) the time pattern of recognizing revenues for crew and other services for the operation of the vessels is similar to the time pattern of recognizing rental income, (ii) the lease component of the time charter contracts, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (iii) the predominant component in its time charter agreements is the lease component. In this respect, the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842. The Company recognizes income from lease payments over the lease term on a straight line basis. The Company assessed its new time charter contracts at the adoption date under the new guidance and concluded that these contracts contain a lease with the related executory costs (insurance), as well as non-lease components to provide other services related to the operation of the vessel, with the most substantial service being the crew cost to operate the vessel. The Company recognizes income for variable lease payments in the period when changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments occur. Rental income on the Company’s time charterers is mostly calculated at an index linked rate based on the five T/C routes rate of the Baltic Capesize Index.The Company recognized a right of use asset for rental of office space at the adoption date.

The following table presents the Company’s income statement figures derived from spot charters for the year ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31, 2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		55,701
Voyage expenses		(33,109	)
Total		22,592

The following table presents the Company’s income statement figures derived from time charters for the year ended December 31, 2019:

	December 31,
	2019
Vessel revenues, net of commissions		30,798
Voyage expenses		(3,532	)
Total		27,266

Charterers individually accounting for more than 10% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were:

Customer	2019			2018			2017
A		19	%		26	%		17	%
B		18	%		21	%		-
C		15	%		-			-
D		-			11	%		17	%
Total		52	%		58	%		34	%

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has entered into five long-term time charter agreements for periods of thirty-three to sixty months, with charterer’s option to extend all time charters. The first time charter commenced on November 5, 2018. Two time charters commenced in the third quarter of 2019. The remaining two time charters commenced in the fourth quarter or 2019. During 2019, the Company successfully installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on these five vessels. A portion of the scrubbers cost was paid for by the charterers, where such portion is provided for by the chartering agreements as an increased daily rate, which the Company accounts for on a straight-line basis over the minimum duration of each charter party. Amounts received in advance related to scrubber increased daily rates are recorded in Other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Office lease

In April 2018, the Company moved into new office spaces. Under ASC 842, the lease is classified as an operating lease and a lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the present value of future minimum lease payments have been recognized on the balance sheet. The monthly rent expense is recorded in general and administration expenses. The Company has assessed the lease for impairment, and since no impairment indicators existed, no impairment charge was recorded.

(q) Sale and Leaseback Transactions

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, as seller-lessee, determines whether the transfer of an asset should be accounted for as a sale in accordance with ASC 606. The existence of an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase the asset precludes the accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) the exercise price of the option is the fair value of the asset at the time the option is exercised and (2) there are alternative assets, substantially the same as the transferred asset, readily available in the marketplace; and the classification of the leaseback as a finance lease or a sales-type lease, precludes the buyer-lessor from obtaining control of the asset. The existence of an obligation for the Company, as seller-lessee, to repurchase the asset precludes accounting for the transfer of the asset as sale as the transaction would be classified as a financing arrangement by the Company as it effectively retains control of the underlying asset. If the transfer of the asset meets the criteria of sale, the Company, as seller-lessee recognizes the transaction price for the sale when the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset, derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and accounts for the lease in accordance with ASC 842. If the transfer does not meet the criteria of sale, the Company does not derecognize the transferred asset, accounts for any amounts received as a financing arrangement and recognizes the difference between the amount of consideration received and the amount of consideration to be paid as interest.

(r) Commissions

Commissions, which include address and brokerage commissions, are recognized in the same period as the respective charter revenues. Address commissions to third parties are included in Commissions while brokerage commissions to third parties are included in Voyage expenses.

(s) Vessel Voyage Expenses

Vessel voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal, bunker expenses and brokerage commissions that are unique to a particular charter and are paid for by the charterer under time charter agreements, bareboat charters and other non-specified voyage expenses. Under a spot charter, the Company incurs and pays for certain voyage expenses, primarily consisting of bunkers consumption, brokerage commissions, port and canal costs. Under ASC 606 and after implementation of ASC 340-40 “Other assets and deferred costs” for contract costs, incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, and contract fulfillment costs, are capitalized and amortized as the performance obligation is satisfied, if certain criteria are met. The Company has adopted the practical expedient not to capitalize incremental costs when the amortization period (voyage period) is less than one year. Costs to fulfill the contract prior to arriving at the load port primarily consist of bunkers which are deferred and amortized during the voyage period. Voyage costs arising as performance obligation are expensed as incurred.

(t) Repairs and Maintenance

All repair and maintenance expenses, including major overhauling and underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in Vessel operating expenses.

(u) Financing Costs

Underwriting, legal and other direct costs incurred with the issuance of long-term debt or to refinance existing debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid are expensed in the period the repayment is made. The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheets.

(v) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, when applicable, for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administration expenses.

Maritime Capital Shipping (HK) Limited, the Company’s management office in Hong Kong, is subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profit for the year. The estimated profits tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $NIL.

Seanergy Management Corp. (“Seanergy Management”), the Company’s management company, established in Greece under Greek Law 89/67 (as amended to date), is subject to an annual contribution calculated on the total amount of foreign exchange annually imported and converted to Euros. The contribution to be paid in 2020 by Seanergy Management for 2019 is estimated at $80.

Two of the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries are registered in Malta since May 23, 2018. The subsidiaries are subject to a corporate flat tax rate.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax if the company operating the ships meets both of the following requirements: (a) the Company is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exception to corporations organized in the United States and (b) either (i) more than 50% of the value of the Company’s stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by individuals who are “residents” of the Company’s country of organization or of another foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States (50% Ownership Test) or (ii) the Company’s stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in its country of organization, in another country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations, or in the United States (Publicly-Traded Test).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulations provide, in pertinent part, that each class of the Company’s stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the vote and value of the outstanding shares of such class are owned, actually or constructively under specified stock attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the value of such class of the Company’s outstanding stock (“5 Percent Override Rule”).

The Company and each of its subsidiaries did not qualify for this statutory tax exemption for the 2019 taxable year, as the Company did not meet the 50% Ownership Test requirement and was subject to the 5 Percent Override Rule for 2019.

The Company estimates that since no more than the 50% of its shipping income will be treated as being United States source income, the effective tax rate is expected to be 2% and accordingly it anticipates that the impact on its results of operations will not be material. Some of the charterparties contain clauses that permit the Company to seek reimbursement from charterers of any U.S. tax paid. The Company has sought reimbursement and has secured payment from most of its charterers. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax based on its U.S. source shipping income for 2019 2018 and 2017, taking into consideration charterers’ reimbursement, was $22, $NIL and $NIL, respectively.

(w) Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation represents vested and non-vested common stock granted to directors and employees for their services as well as to non-employees. The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for the award based on its fair value on the grant date and recognizes it on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The Company assumes that all non-vested shares will vest. The Company does not include estimated forfeitures in determining the total stock-based compensation expense because it estimates the forfeitures of non-vested shares to be immaterial. The Company re-evaluates the reasonableness of its assumption at each reporting period.

(x) Earnings (Losses) per Share

Basic earnings (losses) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Seanergy’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (losses) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of warrants and shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan. The if-converted method is used to compute the dilutive effect of shares which could be issued upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(y) Segment Reporting

Seanergy reports financial information and evaluates its operations by total charter revenues and not by the length of vessel employment, customer, or type of charter. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus, Seanergy has determined that it operates under one reportable segment. Furthermore, when Seanergy charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.

 (z) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories:

• Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

(aa) Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, to account for all modifications or extinguishments of debt instruments, except debt that is extinguished through a troubled debt restructuring or a conversion of debt to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to conversion privileges provided in terms of the debt at issuance. This Subtopic also provides guidance on whether an exchange of debt instruments with the same creditor constitutes an extinguishment and whether a modification of a debt instrument should be accounted for in the same manner as an extinguishment. In circumstances where an exchange of debt instruments or a modification of a debt instrument does not result in extinguishment accounting, this Subtopic provides guidance on the appropriate accounting treatment. Costs associated with new loans or refinancing of existing loans, including fees paid to lenders or required to be paid to third parties on the lender’s behalf for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing loans, are recorded as deferred charges. Costs paid directly to third parties are expensed as incurred. Deferred financing costs are presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability. Such fees are deferred and amortized to interest and finance costs during the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced, meeting the criteria of debt extinguishment, are expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing is made.

(ab) Convertible Notes and related Beneficial Conversion Features

The convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The terms of each convertible  note included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at a predetermined rate.  The Company determined that the conversion features were beneficial conversion features (“BCF”) pursuant to ASC 470-20. The Company considered the BCF guidance only after determining that the features did not need to be bifurcated under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” or separately accounted for under the cash conversion literature of ASC 470-20.

Accounting for an embedded BCF in a convertible instrument requires that the BCF be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the BCF to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible instrument. This discount is accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the stated maturity date of the convertible instrument using the effective yield method. If the intrinsic value of the BCF is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the BCF is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.The intrinsic value of the BCF is determined as the number of shares converted from the convertible note times the positive difference between the fair value of the stock on the commitment date and the contractual conversion price.

(ac) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the warrants issued in connection with the May 13, 2019 public offering and the Jelco Private Placement has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the warrants should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares. ASC 480 requires that a warrant which contains an obligation that may require the issuer to redeem the shares in cash, be classified as a liability and accounted for at fair value. No warrants were classified as liabilities.

(ad) Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. ASU No. 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures.  For each reporting period, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which concerns improvements to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that enter into share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The classification of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards will continue to be subject to the requirements of Topic 718 unless modified after the good has been delivered, the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing goods or services. This eliminates the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 did not have a material effect in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.  2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard, including the codification improvements issued in November 2018, requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 Financial Instruments, the amendments of which clarify the modification of accounting for available for sale debt securities excluding applicable accrued interest, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Targeted Transition Relief, which is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2019-100—Targeted Transition Relief for Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which has been deleted. This Update provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial assets upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement-Overall, and 825-10. In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This update introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has assessed all the expected credit losses of its financial assets and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments in the Update apply to all entities that are required under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Codification Improvements—Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments in this update require that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718.The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is required to be measured on the basis of the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award in accordance with Topic 718. The grant date is the date at which a grantor (supplier) and a grantee (customer) reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The classification and subsequent measurement of the award are subject to the guidance in Topic 718 unless the share-based payment award is subsequently modified and the grantee is no longer a customer. The new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2020 for entities that have adopted ASU 2018-07. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

The loan was used to partially finance the acquisition of the Leadership. On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement to the facility, whereby, among other things, (i) the amount of the four scheduled quarterly amortization payments falling due within 2019 was reduced from $250 to $100 and (ii) an amount of $503 due to be repaid in the first quarter of 2019 was deferred to the final balloon installment due on March 17, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under the facility was $5,303.

On September 1, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Hamburg Commercial Bank AG, formerly known as HSH Nordbank AG, for a secured loan facility of $44,430, or the HCOB Facility. The loan was fully drawn down in 2015 and was used to pay for the acquisition of the Geniuship and the Gloriuship. The loan is repayable in quarterly installments being approximately $1,049 each, along with a balloon installment of $28,837 payable on the final maturity date, June 30, 2020.  As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under the facility was $30,936.

On September 11, 2015, the Company entered into a facility agreement with UniCredit Bank AG, for a secured loan facility of $52,705. The loan was fully drawn down in 2015 and was made available to partially finance the acquisition of the Premiership, Gladiatorship and Guardianship. On November 22, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the facility, referred to as the Amended and Restated UniCredit Loan Facility, in order to (i) release the respective vessel-owning subsidiaries of the Gladiatorship and the Guardianship as borrowers and (ii) include as replacement borrower the vessel-owning subsidiary of the Fellowship. On July 3, 2019, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement to the Amended and Restated UniCredit Bank Loan Facility. Pursuant to its terms, among other things: (i) $2,208 of installments originally falling due within 2019 were deferred to the balloon installment on December 28, 2020, (ii) the applicable margin was increased by 1% from 3.20% to 4.20% with effect from March 26, 2019 until December 27, 2019 inclusive and reinstated to the original levels subsequently and (iii) the requirement for each borrower to hold minimum liquidity of $500 cash was cancelled.

As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under this facility was $27,000.

On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into a facility agreement with Natixis, for a secured loan facility of $39,412. The loan was used to partially finance the acquisition of the Championship. On September 29, 2017, Natixis entered into a deed of release and fully discharged the then outstanding balance of $35,412 of the secured term loan facility obligations to the lender for a total settlement amount of $24,000 on September 29, 2017. The first-priority mortgage over the Championship and all other securities created in favor of Natixis were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a gain from the Natixis refinancing of $11,392, net of $6 refinancing charges and $14 write-off of unamortized deferred financing charges which is presented in “Gain on debt refinancing” in the consolidated statements of loss.

On May 24, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Amsterdam Trade Bank N.V. for a secured loan facility of up to $18,000 to partially finance the acquisition of the Partnership. On September 25, 2017, in order to partially fund the refinancing of the previous loan facility with Natixis dated December 2, 2015, the facility was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility”), increasing the loan amount by an additional tranche of $16,500, or Tranche B. The amendment and restatement of the facility did not alter the interest rate, the maturity date, the amortization and the repayment terms of the existing tranche under the loan facility, or the financial covenants applicable to the Company as guarantor. On November 7, 2018, ATB entered into a deed of release with respect to the Championship, releasing the underlying borrower in full after the settlement of the outstanding balance of $15,700 pertaining to the specific vessel tranche. The first-priority mortgage over the Championship and all other securities created in favor of ATB for the specific vessel’s tranche were irrevocably and unconditionally released pursuant to the deed of release. On February 15, 2019, Amsterdam Trade Bank N.V. entered into a further deed of release with respect to the Partnership resulting in a complete release of the facility agreement after full settlement of the outstanding balance of $16,390.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into a new loan facility with ATB, or the New ATB Loan Facility, in order to (i) refinance the existing indebtedness over the Partnership under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility and (ii) for the financing of installation of open loop scrubber systems on the Squireship and Premiership. The New ATB Loan Facility is divided in Tranche A, relating to the refinancing of the Partnership, and Tranches B and C for the financing of the scrubber systems on the Squireship and the Premiership, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, Tranche A is repayable in sixteen equal quarterly installments being $200 each starting from February 26, 2019 and a balloon payment of $13,190 payable on November 27, 2022 and each of Tranche B and C is repayable in one quarterly installment of $162.5 and eleven quarterly installments of $189.8 starting from November 28, 2019 until August 26, 2022. As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under this facility was $19,765.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a $24,500 loan agreement with Blue Ocean maritime lending funds managed by EnTrustPermal for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Lordship under the previous loan facility with NSF dated November 28, 2016. The facility matures in June 2023 and can be extended until June 2025 subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the borrower has the right to sell the vessel back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $20,800 on the fifth anniversary of the loan utilization (“Year-5 Put Option”). If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-5 Put Option, the lender has the right to extend the termination date of the loan by a further two years, in which case the exercise of the Year-5 Put Option by the borrower shall be cancelled in its entirety. Furthermore, the borrower has the right to sell the ship back to the lender at a pre-agreed price of $15,000 on the seventh anniversary of the loan utilization (“Year-7 Put Option”). If the borrower elects to exercise the Year-7 Put Option then the lenders will be obliged to purchase the ship at the pre-agreed price. The loan facility bears a weighted average all-in interest rate of 11.4% and 11.2% assuming a maturity date in June 2023 or in June 2025, respectively. The principal obligation amortizes in 20 or 28 quarterly installments, with a balloon payment of $15,300 or $9,500 due at maturity, assuming a maturity date in June 2023 or in June 2025, respectively.  As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under this facility was $23,300.

Each of the facilities mentioned above is secured by a first priority mortgage over the respective vessel. The Squire Alpha Bank Loan Facility is additionally secured by a second priority mortgage over the Leadership. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants relating to its loan facilities, except for the security cover ratio covenant under the HCOB Loan Facility. Such covenant breach can be rectified by the Company by paying the lender an amount equal to the difference of the value secured and the security requirement of approximately $936, or by providing additional security of $1,123 (Note 3). Even though as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements the lenders have not declared an event of default under the loan agreement, the breach of this financial covenant constitutes an event of default with the passage of time and under certain circumstances and could result in the lender requiring immediate repayment of the outstanding loan, which matures in late June 2020. Management believes that the lender will not demand payment of the loan before its maturity, since the Company will continue to pay interest and loan installments, as they fall due under the existing loan facility. 

Other Financial Liabilities - Sale and Leaseback Transactions

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a $26,500 sale and leaseback agreement for the Knightship with Hanchen Limited (“Hanchen”), an affiliate of AVIC International Leasing Co., Ltd., for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Knightship under the previous loan facility with NSF dated November 28, 2016. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Knight Ocean Navigation Co (“Knight”) sold and chartered back the vessel on a bareboat basis for an eight year period, having a purchase obligation of $5,299 at the end of the eighth year and having the option to repurchase the Knightship at any time following the second anniversary of the bareboat charter. Under ASC 842-40, the transaction was accounted for as a financial liability.The bareboat charter is secured by a general assignment covering earnings, insurances and requisition compensation, an account pledge agreement, a share pledge agreement of the shares of the Charterer, technical and commercial managers’ undertakings and a guarantee from the Company. Of the $26,500, $18,550 were cash proceeds, $6,625 was withheld by Hanchen as an upfront charterhire upon the delivery of the vessel, and an amount of $1,325, or Charterer’s Deposit, included in “Deposits assets, non-current” in the consolidated balance sheet, was given as a deposit by Knight to Hanchen upon the delivery of the vessel in order to secure the due observance and performance by Knight of its obligations and undertakings as per the sale and leaseback agreement. The Charterer’s Deposit can be set off against the balloon payment at maturity. The bareboat charter requires Knight to maintain an amount of $1,325 (Note 5) until June 28, 2020 or if earlier, a sub-charter in form and substance acceptable to Hanchen is available. The charterhire principalbears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4% and amortizes in thirty-two consecutive equal quarterly installments of approximately $456 along with a balloon payment of $5,299 at maturity on June 29, 2026. The Charterer is required to maintain a value maintenance ratio (as defined in the additional clauses of the bareboat charter) of at least 120% of the charterhire principal minus the Charterer’s Deposit and the additional amount of $1,325 (Note 5). The charterhire principal, as of December 31, 2019, was $17,142.

On November 7, 2018, the Company entered into a $23,500 sale and leaseback agreement for the Championship with Cargill International SA (“Cargill”) for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding indebtedness of the Championship under the Amended and Restated ATB Loan Facility. The Company sold and chartered back the vessel from Cargill on a bareboat basis for a five year period, having a purchase obligation at the end of the fifth year. Under ASC 842-40, the transaction was accounted for as a financial liability. The Company is required to maintain an amount of $1,600 which may be set-off against the vessel repurchase price (Note 5). Moreover, under the subject sale and leaseback agreement, an additional tranche was provided to the Company for an amount of up to $2,750 for the purpose of financing the cost associated with the acquisition and installation on board the Championship of an open loop scrubber system. The subject tranche has been placed in an escrow account and is made available gradually subject to certain progress milestones. As of December 31, 2019, $248 remained from this additional tranche, which is included in “Other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheet. The cost of the financing is equivalent to an expected fixed interest rate of 4.71% for five years. The sale and leaseback agreement does not include any financial covenants or security value maintenance provisions. The Company has continuous options to buy back the vessel during the whole five-year sale and leaseback period at predetermined prices as set forth in the agreement and at the end of which period it has a purchase obligation at $14,051. Additionally, at the time of purchase, if the market value of the vessel is greater than a floor price, as set forth in the agreement, the Company will pay to Cargill 20% of the difference between the market price and the floor price. The floor price started at $30,000 on November 7, 2018 and reduces to to $22,773 at the end of the five year term.  The Company has concluded that such contingent payment shall not be accrued in the consolidated financial statements, since information available does not indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred (i.e., buy back option) as of the latest balance sheet date and cannot be estimated. Moreover, as part of the transaction, the Company issued 120,000 of its common shares to Cargill which were subject to customary statutory registration requirements. The fair market value of the shares on the date issued to Cargill was $1,541 and amortize over the lease term using the effective interest method.  The unamortized balance is accounted for as a deferred finance cost and is classified in other financial liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The charterhire principal amortizes in sixty monthly installments averaging approximately $167 each along with a balloon payment of $14,051, including the additional scrubber tranche, at maturity on November 7, 2023. The charterhire principal and the scrubber tranche, as of December 31, 2019, was $21,515 and $2,708, respectively.

All of the Company’s secured facilities (i.e., long-term debt and other financial liabilities) bear either floating interest at LIBOR plus a margin or fixed interest.

Certain of the Company’s long-term debt and other financial liabilities contain financial covenants and undertakings requiring the Company to maintain various financial ratios, including:

• a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest coverage ratio;

• a minimum borrower’s liquidity;

• a minimum guarantor’s liquidity;

• a security coverage requirement; and

• a leverage ratio.

The Leader and Squire Alpha Bank Loan Facilities place a restriction on the Company’s ability to distribute dividends to its shareholders, pursuant to which the amount of the dividends so declared shall not exceed 50% of the Company’s net income except in case the cash and marketable securities are equal or greater than the amount required to meet the Company’s consolidated debt installments and interest payments until maturity for the Leader Alpha Bank Loan Facility and for the following eighteen-month period for the Squire Alpha Bank Loan Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the commitment letters signed on February 24, 2020, the Company expects the restrictions on its ability to distribute dividends to be removed (Note 15).

At December 31, 2019, eight of the Company’s owned vessels, having a net carrying value of $195,993, were subject to first and second priority mortgages as collateral to their long-term debt facilities. In addition, the Company’s two bareboat chartered vessels, having a net carrying value of $57,788 at December 31, 2019, have been financed through other financial liabilities (i.e., sale and leaseback agreements).

The annual principal payments required to be made after December 31, 2019, without taking into consideration the classification of all long-term debt and other financial liabilities as current as discussed in Note 3, are as follows:

Twelve month periods ending	Amount
December 31, 2020		82,726
December 31, 2021		14,058

4. Transactions with Related Parties:

a. Securities Purchase Agreement:

On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jelco Delta Holding Corp., or Jelco, a company affiliated with Claudia Restis, who is the Company’s principal shareholder, in exchange for, among other things, the full and final settlement of certain unpaid interest and the neutralization of the interest rate under the Jelco Notes and the Jelco Loans (see below) for the period of April 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019 inclusive and a waiver of a mandatory prepayment requirement under the Fourth Jelco Loan (Note 4(c) & 11). In particular, in exchange for: (a) 621,958 Units (Note 11), Jelco settled $2,115 of accrued unpaid interest through March 31, 2019 and (b) 1,201,571 Units, Jelco (i) amended the interest rate at 0% per annum under each of the Jelco Notes and Jelco Loans for the period between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 inclusive, resulting in an elimination of interest payments in an aggregate amount of $3,846 (which was accounted for as a deferred finance cost), and (ii) waived the mandatory prepayment obligation under the Fourth Jelco Loan to prepay the full or any part of the loan by utilizing at least 25% of the net proceeds of any public offering of securities, resulting in a deferred finance cost of $239. The $2,115 accrued unpaid interest settled was written off and an equal amount was recorded in equity at a price of $3.40 per unit which was determined as the fair value of the units at the date of the transaction, by reference to the public offering of units (Note 11) that took place concurrently with the private placement. In this respect, no gain or loss was recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in relation with this transaction. The Company considered the guidance under ASC 470-50 “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” regarding the elimination of interest payments and the deferred finance cost for the waiver of the prepayment of $3,846 and $239, respectively, Such amounts were deemed equivalent to the fair value of the shares issued to Jelco under the Purchase Agreement. The transaction was accounted for as debt modification,and as such, both amounts were recorded in equity and were deferred and amortized over the duration of the related facilities (and presented on the balance sheet against the respective balances as “net of deferred finance costs”).

b. Convertible Notes:

March 12, 2015 - $4,000 Convertible Note (First Jelco Note)

On March 12, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note of $4,000 to Jelco for general corporate purposes. The aggregate outstanding principal is repayable in December 2020.

(“Emperor”), which is the holding company of the vessel-owning subsidiary that owns the Lordship and of the bareboat charterer of the Knightship. On March 26, 2019, the Company and Jelco amended the First Jelco Note, in order to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity to December 31, 2020 and (ii) provide that the aggregate outstanding principal amount along with accrued interest shall be repaid in one bullet payment on the maturity date.

Commitments and Contingencies

10. Commitments and Contingencies:

Contingencies

Various claims, lawsuits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities that should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the individual vessels’ actions to the maximum limits as provided by Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.

Commitments

The Company operates certain of its vessels under lease agreements. Time charters typically may provide for charterers’ options to extend the lease terms and termination clauses. The Company’s time charters range from 1 to 60 months and extension periods vary from 11 to 27 months. In addition, the time charters contain termination clauses which protect either the Company or the charterers from material adverse events. Variable lease payments in the Company’s time charters vary based on changes on freight market index. The Company has the option to convert some of these variable lease payments to fixed based on the prevailing Capesize forward freight agreement rates.

The following table sets forth the Company’s future minimum contractual charter revenue based on vessels committed to non-cancelable time charter contracts as at December 31, 2019 (these amounts do not include any assumed off-hire):

Twelve month periods ending December 31,	Amount
2020		45,736
2021		44,234
2022		29,475
2023		5,035
Total		124,480

In April 2018, the Company moved into its new office spaces under a five-year lease term, with a Company’s option to extend the lease term for another five year term. The monthly rent is Euro 13,000 (or $15 based on the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate of €1.0000:$1.1234 as of December 31, 2019), which is adjusted annually by one percent for inflation. The first year’s rent payments had been prepaid as of December 31, 2018. The second year’s rent payments were prepaid in April 2019. Under ASC 842, the lease is classified as an operating lease and a lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the present value of future minimum lease payments have been recognized on the balance sheet. The monthly rent expense is recorded in general and administration expenses.

The following table sets forth the Company’s undiscounted office rental obligations as at December 31, 2019:

Twelve month periods ending December 31,	Amount
2020		127

Capital Structure

11. Capital Structure:

(a)  Common Stock

On February 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC, or “Maxim”, as sales agent, under which the Company would offer and sell, from time to time through Maxim up to $20,000 of its common shares. On June 27, 2017, the Company and Maxim mutually terminated the Equity Distribution Agreement. As of June 27, 2017, the Company has sold a total of 185,477 of its common shares for aggregate net proceeds of $2,597 in connection with this public at-the-market offering. Maxim has received aggregate compensation for such sales of $86 as of June 27, 2017.

On April 10, 2017, the Company issued 8,333 of its common shares to an unaffiliated third party for the provision of investor relations services.

On May 18, 2017, the Company was notified by NASDAQ Stock Market that it was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from April 5, 2017 to May 17, 2017, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This notification had no effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, expiring on November 14, 2017. The Company could cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock was $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. On September 5, 2017, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market confirming that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

On April 23, 2018, the Company received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from March 8, 2018 to April 20, 2018, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company cured the deficiency with a reverse stock split which became effective on March 20, 2019.

On March 20, 2019, the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis, following a February 26, 2019 approval from the Company’s Board of Directors to reverse split the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-fifteen. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. As a result, 961 shares were cancelled in order not to issue fractional shares. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented.

On May 13, 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 4,200,000 Units, each unit consisting of (i) one common share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Common Share”) or a pre-funded warrant to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per common share (a “Pre-Funded Warrant”), (ii) one Class B Warrant to purchase one common share (a “Class B Warrant”) and (iii) one Class C Warrant to purchase one common share (a “Class C Warrant”), for $3.40 per unit. Under (i) above, the Company issued 2,765,000 common shares and 1,435,000 pre-funded warrants. All Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised as of June 30, 2019 resulting in issuance of 1,435,000 Common Shares.  The offering was consummated in connection with the Company’s form F-1 originally filed with the SEC on October 20, 2017, which was further amended. The gross proceeds of the offering, before underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $14,293. The net proceeds from the sale of common shares and warrants, after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses, were approximately $12,647, which proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, prepaying debt.

On May 13, 2019, the Company sold 1,823,529 Units of the Company in a separate private placement to Jelco, or the Jelco Private Placement, each Unit consisting of (i) one Common Share, (ii) one Class B Warrant, and (iii) one Class C Warrant, for $3.40 per unit, to Jelco in exchange for, among other things, the waiver or forgiveness of certain payment obligations of the Company, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (Note 4).

On July 15, 2019, the Company received a written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from May 31, 2019 to July 12, 2019, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until January 13, 2020 (Note 15). The Company could cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock was $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During that time, the Company’s common stock would continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Note 15).

(b)  Warrants

In December 2016, in connection with the public offering of December 13, 2016, the Company granted 11,500,000 class A warrants with an exercise price of $30.00 each. The class A warrants were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trade under the ticker symbol “SHIPW” beginning on December 8, 2016. The class A warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on December 13, 2021. If and only if an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the common shares under the class A warrants is not available, the class A warrants may be exercised, at the holder’s option, pursuant to the “cashless exercise” clause of the class A warrant agreement. Under the “cashless exercise”, the holder will receive a net number of common shares determined according to class A warrant agreement. The Company may call the class A warrants for cancellation upon ten trading days prior written notice commencing thirteen months after issuance, subject to certain conditions, including the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares exceeding $105.00 for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

On May 13, 2019, the Company sold a total of 6,023,529 Units in connection with the public offering and the Jelco Private Placement, with each Unit consisting of (i) one Common Share or Pre-Funded Warrant, (ii) one Class B Warrant and (iii) one Class C Warrant. Each Class B Warrant had an exercise price of $3.74 per share, which was adjusted to $1.00 on December 13, 2019 pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, is exercisable upon issuance and expires three years from issuance. The underwriters partially exercised an over-allotment option granted in connection with the offering and purchased an additional 630,000 Class B Warrants and 630,000 Class C Warrants.  In connection with the Offering, the Company issued the representative of the underwriters a warrant to purchase 210,000 Common Shares (Representative Warrant). Each Class C Warrant has an exercise price of $3.74 per share, is exercisable upon issuance, and expires six months from issuance. Beginning on June 14, 2019, each Class C Warrant was exercisable on a cashless basis under certain circumstances for a number of common shares calculated according to a formula based on the market price at the time of exercise. Each Representative Warrant had an exercise price of $4.25 per share, which was adjusted to $1.00 on December 13, 2019 pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, and is exercisable at any time between November 9, 2019 and May 9, 2022.

In connection to the public offering and private placement that took place on May 13, 2019, 6,653,529 Class C Warrants and 6,653,529 Class B Warrants were issued. As of December 31, 2019, 6,594,029 Class C Warrants have been exercised in a cashless exercise that resulted in the issuance of 18,067,631 common shares according to the terms of the Warrants’ Agreement. On November 13, 2019, all remaining unexercised Class C Warrants expired. No Class B Warrants and Representative Warrant have been exercised. As of December 31, 2019, the number of common shares that can potentially be issued under each outstanding warrant are:

Warrant	Shares to be issued upon exercise of remaining warrants
Class A		766,666
Class B		6,653,529
Representative Warrant		210,000
Total		7,630,195

No expenses were recorded in connection with these warrants which are classified in equity.

The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SHIPW” and “SHIPZ”, respectively.

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party for the purchase of one second hand Capesize vessel, the Fellowship, for a gross purchase price of $28,700. The vessel was delivered to the Company on November 22, 2018. The acquisition of the vessel was financed through the Amended and Restated UniCredit Loan Facility (Note 8) and by cash on hand.

On September 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate agreements with unaffiliated third parties for the sale of its two Supramax vessels, namely the Gladiatorship and the Guardianship for a gross sale price of $10,960 and $11,700, respectively. The Gladiatorship and the Guardianship were delivered to their new owners on October 11, 2018 and on November 19, 2018, respectively. Proceeds of $9,505 from the sale of Gladiatorship and $10,332 from the sale of Guardianship were retained with UniCredit to fund the acquisition of Fellowship. The Gladiatorship and the Guardianship were impaired since their carrying amount on the sale agreement date was higher than their fair value less cost to sell in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $7,267 was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss. The fair value of the vessels was determined based on the agreed sale prices (Note 9).

During 2019, the Company installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on five of its vessels. The cost of these scrubbers amounted to $21,435 in the aggregate. The cost of the scrubbers was accounted as major improvement and was capitalized to vessels’ cost and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of each vessel. Additionally, an amounts of $31 and $89 of expenditures were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019, all vessels, except for the Knightship and the Championship that are financed through other financial liabilities (sale and leaseback agreements), are mortgaged to secured loans of the Company (Note 8).
