Description of our Debt Obligations

2015 AR Facility

In March 2015, we entered into a $758 million debt financing facility with four separate tranches (collectively, with its amendments and restatement, the “2015 AR Facility”). Commercial debt financing (“Commercial Financing”) of $249 million was provided by ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC (“ABN”); ING Bank N.V., London Branch, ("ING"); DVB Bank SE ("DVB"); Citibank N.A., London Branch (“Citi”); and Commonwealth Bank of Australia, New York Branch, ("CBA") (collectively the "Commercial Lenders"), while the Export Import Bank of Korea ("KEXIM") directly provided $204 million of financing (“KEXIM Direct Financing”). The remaining $305 million of financing was provided under tranches guaranteed by KEXIM of $202 million (“KEXIM Guaranteed”) and insured by the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation ("K-sure") of $103 million (“K-sure Insured”). Financing under the KEXIM guaranteed and K-sure insured tranches are provided by certain Commercial Lenders; Deutsche Bank AG; and Santander Bank, N.A. As of March 31, 2021, the debt financing was secured by, among other things, fifteen of our ECO VLGCs. On April 29, 2020, we amended and restated the 2015 AR Facility to among other things, refinance the commercial tranche from the 2015 AR Facility (the “Original Commercial Tranche”). Pursuant to the April 2020 amendment and restatement of the 2015 AR Facility, certain new facilities (the “New Facilities”) were made available to us, including (i) a new senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $155.8 million, a portion of which was used to prepay in full the outstanding principal amount under the Original Commercial Tranche and the balance for general corporate purposes and (ii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million, which we intend to use for general corporate purposes. On July 14, 2020 (with retroactive effect to June 30, 2020), we amended the 2015 AR Facility and received approvals from those lenders constituting the “Required Lenders” under the 2015 AR Facility, as applicable, to modify certain financial and security covenants to reflect the Company’s current financial condition.

The 2015 AR Facility contains various covenants providing for, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios and certain limitations on payment of dividends, investments, acquisitions and indebtedness.

The 2015 AR Facility is secured by, among other things, (i) first priority Bahamian mortgages on the vessels financed; (ii) first priority assignments of all of the financed vessels’ insurances, earnings, requisition compensation, and management agreements; (iii) first priority security interests in respect of all issued shares or limited liability company interests of the borrowers and vessel-owning guarantors; (iv) first priority charter assignments of all of the financed vessels’ long-term charters; (v) assignments of the interests of any ship manager in the insurances of the financed vessels; (vi) an assignment by the borrower of any bank, deposit or certificate of deposit opened in accordance with the facility; and (vii) a guaranty by the Company guaranteeing the obligations of the borrower and other guarantors under the facility agreement. The 2015 AR Facility further provides that the facility is to be secured by assignments of the borrower’s rights under any hedging contracts in connection with the facility, but such assignments have not been entered into at this time.

The 2015 AR Facility also contains customary covenants that require us to maintain adequate insurance coverage, properly maintain the vessels and to obtain the lender’s prior consent before changes are made to the flag, class or management of the vessels, or entry into a new line of business. The loan facility includes customary events of default,

including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, breaches of covenants, representations and warranties, a cross-default to certain other debt obligations and non-compliance with security documents, and customary restrictions from paying dividends if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, or if an event of default would result therefrom.

The following financial covenants are the most restrictive from the 2015 AR Facility with which the Company is required to comply, calculated on a consolidated basis, determined and defined according to the provisions of the loan agreement and its amendments:

The ratio of current assets and long-term restricted cash divided by current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt, shall always be greater than 1.00;

Maintain minimum shareholders’ equity at all times equal to the aggregate of $400 million;

The ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated total capitalization shall not exceed 0.60 to 1.00;

Fair market value of the mortgaged ships plus any additional security over the outstanding loan balance shall be 145%.

Minimum liquidity covenant of $27.5 million; and

Minimum cash balance $1.0 million per mortgaged vessel;

The provision applicable to our minimum cash balance requirements were modified under the terms of the amendment to the 2015 AR Facility and as a result our minimum cash balance no longer meets the criteria to be recognized as restricted cash. Accordingly, and with retroactive effect to June 30, 2020, we no longer classify these amounts as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets. This requirement was reduced from $2.2 million per mortgaged vessel under the initial 2015 AR Facility to $1.0 million per mortgaged vessel per the July 14, 2020 amendment.

The advances in connection with New Facilities are to be repaid on the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the utilization date of the new senior secured term loan facility, described above, and (ii) March 26, 2025. The New Facilities bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50%. The margin can be decreased by 10 basis points if the Security Leverage Ratio (which is based on our security value ratio for vessels secured under the 2015 AR Facility) is less than .40 or increased by 10 basis points if it is greater than or equal to .60. Pursuant to the terms of the 2015 AR Facility, we have the potential to receive a 10 basis point increase or reduction in the margin applicable to the New Facilities for changes in our Average Efficiency Ratio (which weighs carbon emissions for a voyage against the design deadweight of a vessel and the distance traveled on such voyage). As of March 31, 2022, the set margin was 2.40%.

Certain terms of the borrowings under each tranche of the 2015 AR Facility are as follows:

(1)The interest rate of the 2015 AR Facility on Tranche 1 is determined in accordance with the agreement as three- or six- month LIBOR plus the applicable margin and the interest rate on Tranches 2, 3 and 4 is determined in accordance with the agreement as three- month LIBOR plus the applicable margin for the respective tranches.

(2)The LIBOR rate in effect as of March 31, 2022 was 0.974030%.

(3)The Commercial Financing Tranche was refinanced on April 29, 2020, to, among other things, extend the term by three years.

(4)The KEXIM Direct Financing, KEXIM Guaranteed, and K-Sure tranches have put options to call for the prepayment on the final payment date of the Commercial Financing tranche subject to specific notifications and commitments for refinancing/renewal of the Commercial Financing tranche.

(5)The Commercial Financing tranche margin over LIBOR at the time of its amendment and restatement described above was 2.50% and can be reduced by 10 basis points if the Security Leverage Ratio (which is based on our security value ratio for vessels secured under the 2015 AR Facility) is less than .40 or increased by 10 basis points if it is greater than or equal to .60. We also have the potential to receive a 10 basis point increase or reduction in the margin applicable to the New Facilities for changes in our Average Efficiency Ratio (which weighs carbon emissions for a voyage against the design deadweight of a vessel and the distance traveled on such voyage). As of March 31, 2022, the set margin was 2.40%.

The 2015 AR Facility permits the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness if, without the prior written consent of the lenders, (i) one-third of our common shares are owned by any shareholder other than certain entities, directors or officers listed in the agreement; (ii) there are certain changes to our board of directors; or (iii) Mr. John C. Hadjipateras ceases to serve on our board of directors.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2022.

During the year ended March 31, 2022, portions of the 2015 AR Facility were prepaid with the refinancings of the VLGCs Constellation, Commander, Cratis, Copernicus, Chaparral, and Caravelle as described below.

BALCAP Facility

On December 29, 2021, we completed the refinancing of our indebtedness secured by the VLGCs Constellation and Commander through a new loan facility entered into between, among others, Constellation LPG Transport LLC and Commander LPG Transport LLC, as borrowers, and Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, Pacific Western Bank, Raymond James Bank, a Florida chartered bank and City National Bank of Florida, as lenders (“BALCAP Facility”). The financing has a 3.78% fixed interest rate, a term of five years, a face amount of $83.4 million, and a fixed monthly, mortgage-style payment of $0.9 million with a balloon payment of $44.1 million in December 2026. We received $34.9 million of net cash proceeds after repayment of debt under the 2015 AR Facility related to those vessels and fees and expenses related to the refinancing transaction.

The BALCAP Facility is secured by, among other things, (i) first priority Bahamian mortgages on the vessels financed and deeds of covenant collateral thereto; (ii) first priority assignments of all of the financed vessels’ insurances, earnings and requisition compensation; (iii) first priority security interests in respect of all of the equity interests of the borrowers; (iv) subordination of the rights of any technical ship manager in the proceeds of any insurances of the financed vessels; (v) an assignment by each borrower of any deposit account opened by it in accordance with the facility; and (vi) a guaranty by the Company guaranteeing the obligations of the borrowers under the facility agreement. In addition, we must ensure that the aggregate fair market value of Constellation and Commander is at least 125% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan under the BALCAP Facility.

The corporate financial covenants related to the BALCAP Facility are identical to those in the 2015 AR Facility. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2022.

Corsair Japanese Financing

On November 7, 2017, we refinanced a 2014-built VLGC, Corsair, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement and a bareboat charter agreement (“Corsair Japanese Financing”). In connection therewith, we transferred Corsair to the buyer for $65.0 million and, as part of the agreement, Corsair LPG Transport LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, bareboat chartered the vessel back for a period of 12 years, with purchase options from the end of year 2 onwards through a mandatory buyout by 2029. We continue to technically manage, commercially charter, and operate Corsair. We received $52.0 million in cash as part of the transaction with $13.0 million to be retained by the buyer as a deposit (the “Corsair Deposit”), which can be used by us towards the repurchase of the vessel either pursuant to an early buyout option or at the end of the 12-year bareboat charter term. The refinancing proceeds of $52.0 million were used to prepay $30.1 million of the then outstanding principal amount of debt related to Corsair. The remaining proceeds were used to pay legal fees associated with this transaction and for general corporate purposes. The Corsair Japanese Financing is treated as a financing transaction and the VLGC continues to be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. This debt financing has a fixed interest rate of 4.9%, not including financing costs of $0.1 million, monthly broker commission fees of 1.25% over

the 12-year term on interest and principal payments made, broker commission fees of 1% of the purchase option price excluding the Corsair Deposit, and a monthly fixed straight-line principal obligation of approximately $0.3 million over the 12-year term with a balloon payment of $13.0 million.

The refinancing proceeds of $56.0 million were used to prepay $35.1 million of the 2015 AR Facility’s then outstanding principal amount. Pursuant to an amendment to the 2015 AR Facility and in conjunction with this prepayment, $1.6 million of restricted cash was released under the 2015 AR Facility. The remaining proceeds were, or will be, used to pay legal fees associated with this transaction and for general corporate purposes. This transaction is treated as a financing transaction and Concorde continues to be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. This debt financing has a fixed interest rate of 4.9%, not including financing costs of $0.1 million, monthly broker commission fees of 1.25% over the 13-year term on interest and principal payments made, broker commission fees of 1% of an exercised purchase option excluding the Concorde Deposit, and a monthly fixed straight-line principal obligation of approximately $0.3 million over the 13-year term with a balloon payment of $14.0 million.

Pursuant to an amendment to the 2015 AR Facility and in conjunction with this prepayment, $1.6 million of restricted cash was released under the 2015 AR Facility.

On March 26, 2021, we substituted Captain Markos NL with Captain John NP within this financing. The terms of the new bareboat charter between the buyer and CJNP LPG Transport LLC after the vessel substitution were identical. On November 30, 2021, we completed the repurchase of Captain John NP and repaid the CMNL/CJNP Japanese Financing for $15.8 million in cash and application of the deposit amount of $25.2 million, which had been retained by the buyer in connection with the financing towards the repurchase of the vessel.
