Recent Events

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus strain, or COVID-19, to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) is having widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Management continues to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the industry and its business. At present, the surge in cases has slowed, or is under control, in many countries around the world, especially those that are core to the dry bulk industry. However it is not possible to forecast the virus spread in the future or ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial position and results of its operations. An increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
