Capital Structure:
|
| ● |
Series A Preferred Shares have a stated amount of $1,000 each, are perpetual, non-redeemable, have no maturity date and rank senior to the Company’s common shares and Series B Preferred Shares, with respect to
dividend distributions and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, or upon sale of all or substantially all of the assets, property or business of the Company, or upon a change of control of
the Company.
Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares has the right, subject to certain conditions, at any time commencing on July 16, 2025 and until July 15, 2032, to convert all (but not a portion), of the Series A
Preferred Shares beneficially held by such holder into a number of common shares equal to the quotient of the aggregate stated amount of the Series A Preferred Shares converted plus any accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the conversion
rate then in effect. The conversion rate is equal to the lower of (i) $240.00 per common share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (i.e. in the event of capital reorganization, merger, stock dividend or other distribution of the
Company’s assets, stock split or combination) (the “Pre-Determined Price”) and (ii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common shares over the five consecutive trading day period expiring on the trading day
immediately prior to the date of delivery of written notice of the conversion. The Pre-Determined Price is also subject to adjustments, when the Company issues equity securities at prices below the Pre-Determined Price then in effect. In
that event, the Pre-Determined Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the effective price of such issuance of equity securities. Such adjustment, may have an effect incremental to maintaining the value of the conversion privilege and,
therefore, constitutes a down round feature. The Company’s January 2025 offering (as discussed below) and the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Company’s Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (also discussed below), would have triggered
such feature, however, in line with the terms outlined in the designation statement for the Series A Preferred Shares, the Company entered into waiver agreements with the sole holder of the Series A Preferred Shares, pursuant to which all
potential adjustments to the Pre-Determined Price as a result of the January 2025 offering and the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Company’s Standby Equity Purchase Agreement have been waived.
The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights, subject to limited exceptions, and are entitled to receive biannual dividends, on each June 30 and December 31, payable in cash or in kind (in
the form of additional Series A Preferred Shares) or in a combination thereof, in the Company’s option, accruing at the applicable dividend rate per annum on the stated amount per Series A Preferred Share and on any unpaid accrued
dividends. Dividends on Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative and accrue, whether or not declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, however, such dividends are payable only when, as, and if declared by the Company’s Board of
Directors. In each event of non-payment or payment in kind, the dividend rate then in effect shall increase by a factor of 1.33 (“Non-payment Rate Adjustment”) or 1.30 (“PIK Rate Adjustment”), respectively, from the day of such event
onwards. On the day a previous non-payment is rectified by payment in cash, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment will cease to apply. If the previous non-payment is rectified by payment in kind, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment
will cease to apply and the PIK Rate Adjustment will be permanently applied instead. Partial non-payments, payments in kind or rectifications of previous non-payments, will be treated proportionally.
Dividends accrued on Series A Preferred Shares from their initial issuance through September 30, 2024, amounted to $526 at an average applicable dividend rate of 11.43%. This amount is presented in the
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as a deduction from the net income of the relevant period to derive the net income attributable to common shareholders. The
Company did not pay any dividends on its Series A Preferred Shares during that period, nor during the remaining part of 2024. As a result, the foregoing dividend rate includes the applicable Non-payment Rate Adjustments, and accumulated
dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2024 amounted to $977. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet as it had not been declared at that time. Dividends accrued
on Series A Preferred Shares for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, amounted to $2,124 at an average applicable dividend rate of 17.27%. This amount is presented in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of
loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 as a deduction from the net loss of the relevant period to derive the net loss attributable to common shareholders. On June 30, 2025, the Company issued 2,249 Series A Preferred Shares
as payment-in-kind for dividends accrued on Series A Preferred Shares from their initial issuance through June 30, 2025, totaling $2,249. As a result, the previous Non-payment Rate Adjustments were replaced by PIK Rate Adjustments, and the
accumulated dividends on Series A Preferred Shares as of September 30, 2025 amounted to $853, being the dividends accrued from July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying September 30, 2025
consolidated balance sheet as it had not been declared at that time. Following the payment in kind on June 30, 2025, the applicable dividend rate was increased to 19.77%.
Lastly, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares also have the right to participate, on an as-converted basis, in certain non-recurring dividends and distributions declared or made on common shares.
Accordingly, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares did not participate on an as-converted basis or otherwise, in any of the dividends the Company has declared and paid to common shareholders.
|
| ● |
Series B Preferred Shares are perpetual, non-redeemable, not convertible into common shares, have no maturity date and rank pari-passu
with the Company’s common shares. Each Series B Preferred Share has the voting power of 1,000 common shares and counts for 1,000 votes for purposes of determining quorum at a meeting of shareholders, subject to adjustments to maintain a
substantially identical voting interest in the Company following certain events. The holders of Series B Preferred Shares have no dividend or distribution rights, other than upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, in
which event the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment up to an amount equal to the par value per Series B Preferred Share. Also, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of
voting securities of a subsidiary to the holders of the Company’s common shares by way of a spin off or other similar transaction, then, in each such case, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive preferred
shares of the subsidiary whose voting securities are so distributed with at least substantially similar rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions as those of the Series B Preferred Shares.

Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”). TCE is a measure of revenue generated over a period that accounts for the effect of the different charter types under which our vessels may
be employed. TCE is calculated by deducting voyage expenses from revenue and making any other adjustments that may be required to approximate the revenue that would have been generated, had the vessels been employed under time charters, net
of commissions. TCE is typically expressed on a daily basis (“Daily TCE”) by dividing it by Operating Days, to eliminate the effect of changes in fleet composition between periods.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”). EBITDA is a financial measure we calculate by deducting interest and finance costs, interest income,

our operating performance between periods and against companies that may have varying capital structures, other depreciation and amortization policies, or that may be subject to different tax regulations.

Adoption of mandatory data collection system. Since 2019, the IMO data collection system (“IMO DCS”) requires vessels above 5,000 gross tons to report consumption data for fuel oil, hours under way, and
distance traveled. This covers any maritime activity carried out by ships, including dredging, pipeline laying, ice-breaking, fish-catching, and off-shore installations. The data is annually reported to the flag state that issues a statement
of compliance to the relevant vessel. Data is reported annually to the flag state and is used in calculating a ship’s operational carbon intensity indicator (“CII”).

Net zero greenhouse emissions in the EU by 2050. In 2021, the EU adopted a European Climate Law (Regulation (EU) 2021/1119), establishing the aim of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by 2050,
with an intermediate target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. In July 2021, the European Commission launched the “Fit for 55” to support the climate policy agenda. As of January 2019, large
ships calling at EU ports have been required to collect and publish data on carbon dioxide emissions and other information.

Maritime ETS scheme became effective in January 2024. On January 1, 2024, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (“ETS”) for ships sailing in and out of EU ports became effective, and the FuelEU Maritime Regulation
became effective on January 1, 2025. The ETS is to apply gradually over the period from 2024 to 2026. 40% of allowances will be surrendered in 2025 for the year 2024; 70% of allowances will be surrendered in 2026 for the year 2025; and 100%
of allowances will be surrendered in 2027 for the year 2026. Compliance will be on a company-wide (rather than per ship) basis and “shipping company” is defined broadly to capture both the ship owner and any contractually appointed commercial
operator, ship manager, or bareboat charterer who assumes responsibility for full compliance under the ETS and under the ISM Code. If the latter contractual arrangement is entered into, this needs to be reflected in a certified mandate signed
by both parties and presented to the administrator of the scheme. The cap under the ETS is set by taking into account EU MRV system emissions data for the years 2018 and 2019, adjusted, from year 2021 and is to capture 100% of the emissions
from intra-EU maritime voyages, 100% of emissions from ships at berth in EU ports, and 50% of emissions from voyages which start or end at EU ports (but the other destination is outside of the EU). Furthermore, the newly passed EU Emissions
Trading Directive 2023/959/EC makes clear that all maritime allowances would be auctioned and there will be no free allocation. 78.4 million emissions allowances are to be allocated specifically to maritime. If we do not receive allowances
from our charterers, we will be forced to purchase allowances from the market, which can be costly if our charterers do not compensate us for such cost, especially if other shipping companies are similarly looking to do the same. New systems,
including personnel and data management systems, costs recovery mechanisms, revised service agreement terms, and emissions reporting procedures will have to be put into place, at significant cost, to prepare for and manage the administrative
aspect of ETS compliance. The cost of compliance, and of our future EU emissions and costs to purchase an allowance for emissions (if we must purchase in order to comply) are unknown and difficult to predict, and are based on a number of
factors, including the size of our fleet, our trips within and to and from the EU, and the prevailing cost of allowances. Similarly, compliance with FuelEU is expected to be just as challenging, if not more so, given its technical
requirements to deliver low carbon fuel based on well to wake calculations of emissions. The 2% GHG reduction target that will have to be met in 2025 and reported in 2026 will be contingent on companies having access to cleaner fuels (e.g.,
biofuels that are certified pursuant to the Renewable Energy Directive criteria) and to cleaner technologies (e.g., wind propulsion). Where there is a lack of availability, shipping companies will be able to enter into pooling arrangements
with other shipping companies, purchase one or two low carbon vessels that can offset emissions from fossil fuel powered vessels, or pay hefty penalties (e.g., estimated to be around 10% of annual fuel costs per vessel). It is also not yet
clear how responsibility under FuelEU can be fairly allocated given that regulatory liability falls firmly on ship owners whereas it is the operators who will choose the fuel, route, and speed and will have control over emissions.
