    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor
      protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or
      performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
      statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;pending&#8221; and similar expressions identify forward-looking
      statements.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including
      without limitation, Company management&#8217;s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company&#8217;s records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made,
      because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company&#8217;s control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these
      expectations, beliefs or projections.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company&#8217;s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed
      in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for dry bulk shipping capacity, changes in the Company&#8217;s
      operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company&#8217;s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities,
      potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, including risks associated with the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, potential disruption of shipping
      routes due to accidents or political events, including the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other factors. Please see the Company&#8217;s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
      Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
