        of
        Merger, dated March 14, 2007, by and between Star Maritime and its wholly-owned
        Marshall Islands subsidiary, Star Bulk Carriers Corp., or Star Bulk, whereby
        Star Maritime will merge with and into Star Bulk, with Star Bulk as the
        surviving corporation. Star Bulk has entered into&#160;definitive
        agreements&#160;to acquire a fleet of eight drybulk carriers from certain
        wholly-owned subsidiaries of TMT Co., Ltd., or TMT, for an aggregate purchase
        price of $345,237,520, consisting of $224,500,000 in cash and 12,537,645
        shares
        of common stock of Star Bulk. The acquisition of the eight drybulk carriers
        from
        TMT is contingent upon the approval and consummation of the Redomiciliation
        Merger.&#160;Star Maritime has also entered into related agreements with TMT in
        connection with the acquisition of the vessels. As a result of the
        Redomiciliation Merger:&#160;(i) the separate corporate existence of Star
        Maritime will cease; (ii) each share of Star Maritime common stock, par value
        $0.0001 per share, will be converted into the right to receive one share
        of Star
        Bulk common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and (iii) each outstanding
        warrant
        of Star Maritime will be assumed by Star Bulk with the same terms and
        restrictions, except that each will be exerciseable for common stock of Star
        Bulk, all as more particularly described in the joint proxy

                have
                agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation
                distribution should we fail to consummate a business combination
                transaction with respect to the aggregate of 9,026,924 shares of

                certain

                holder of Star Maritime stock or warrants should not recognize any
                taxable
                gain or loss as a result of the Redomiciliation Merger.&#160;The
                Redomiciliation Merger has been structured so that upon completion
                of the
                Redomiciliation Merger and issuance of Star Bulk shares to TMT, the
                stockholders of Star Maritime will own less than 80% of Star Bulk.
                Therefore, Star Bulk intends to take the position on its U.S. federal
                income tax return that it is not subject to Section 7874(b) of the
                U.S.
                Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code,&#160;after the
                Redomiciliation Merger and therefore should not be subject to U.S.
                federal
                income tax as a U.S. domestic corporation on its worldwide income
                after
                the Redomiciliation Merger. However, Star Maritime has not sought
                a ruling
                from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, on this point.
                Therefore, there is no assurance that the IRS would not seek to assert
                that Star Bulk is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide
                income after the Redomiciliation Merger, although Star Maritime believes
                that such an assertion would not be
                successful.</font></div>

                  cash if
                  such stockholder votes against the Redomiciliation Merger, elects

                  exercise redemption rights&#160;and the Redomiciliation Merger is approved

                  stockholder must vote against the Redomiciliation Merger and elect
                  to
                  exercise redemption rights on the enclosed proxy card. If a stockholder

                  will

                  share,
                  based on funds in the Trust Account as of&#160;December&#160;31, 2006. If

                  your
                  shares of Star Maritime&#8217;s common stock for cash and will no longer own
                  these shares. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these
                  shares

                  Maritime common stock owned by such stockholder as such warrants

      marks of Maxim Group LLC. Star Maritime was formed to acquire, through a merger,
      capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination,
      one or more target&#160;businesses in the shipping industry. On December 15,
      2005, Star Maritime consummated a private placement whereby certain of Star
      Maritime&#8217;s officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 1,132,500 units at a
      purchase price of $10.00 per unit. On December 21, 2005, Star Maritime completed
      an initial public offering of 18,867,500 units at a purchase price of $10.00
      per
      unit. Each unit consisted of one share of Star Maritime&#8217;s common stock and one
      warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Star
      Maritime&#8217;s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. Star Maritime&#8217;s
      common stock and warrants currently trade on the American Stock Exchange under
      the symbols SEA and SEA.WS, respectively. Other than activities incident to
      its
      initial public offering and the pursuit of a business combination, Star Maritime
      has not engaged in any operations to date. If Star Maritime does not consummate
      the Redomiciliation Merger or another&#160;a business combination by December
      21, 2007,&#160;then, pursuant to Article SIXTH of its Certificate of
      Incorporation, Star Maritime&#8217;s officers must take all actions necessary in
      accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law to dissolve and liquidate
      Star Maritime within 60&#160;days of that date.</font></div>

      reaching its decision with respect to the Redomiciliation Merger, the board
      of
      directors of Star Maritime considered the various regulatory and tax advantages
      to operating an international shipping company domiciled in the Republic of
      the
      Marshall Islands as compared to a corporation domiciled in the United States.
      The board of directors has unanimously&#160;determined that it&#160;is advisable
      and in the best interests of Star Maritime&#8217;s stockholders to merge with and into
      Star Bulk, a wholly-owned Marshall Islands subsidiary, with Star Bulk as the
      surviving corporation, which would acquire vessels and operate as an
      international shipping company. In reaching its decision with respect to the
      merger with and into Star Bulk, which has entered into definitive agreements
      to
      acquire the vessels in the initial fleet, the board of directors of Star
      Maritime reviewed various due diligence materials including the vessels&#8217;
classification society records, records relating to the vessels&#8217; physical
      inspection and vessel valuations prepared by independent purchase and sale
      brokers recognized in the international shipping industry, as well as advice
      from and evaluation materials prepared by its financial advisors. The board
      of
      directors of Star Maritime has unanimously determined that the Redomiciliation
      Merger is advisable and in the best interests of Star Maritime&#8217;s stockholders
      and that the aggregate purchase price of the initial fleet to be paid&#160;by
      Star Bulk&#160;is reasonable. Accordingly, the Star Maritime board of directors
      unanimously recommends that Star Maritime stockholders vote &#8220;</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><strong>FOR</strong></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#8221;

          Trust Account, and will therefore be required to borrow funds or make
          arrangements with vendors and service providers in reliance on the expectation
          that such expenses will be paid by Star Bulk following consummation of
          the

          from funds in the Trust Account. This could result in depletion of the

      Maritime has obtained the opinion of its counsel, Seward &amp; Kissel LLP, that
      the Redomiciliation Merger will be treated as a nontaxable reorganization for
      U.S. federal income tax purposes. The opinion of Seward &amp; Kissel LLP is
      subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the discussion of
      &#8220;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.&#8221; Because the Redomiciliation
      Merger will be treated as a nontaxable reorganization for U.S. federal income
      tax purposes, Star Bulk will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the
      Redomiciliation Merger. In addition, Star Maritime stockholders will not
      recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of their shares of Star Maritime common
      stock solely for shares of Star Bulk common stock pursuant to the
      Redomiciliation Merger. However, a Star Maritime stockholder who receives solely
      cash in exchange for his or her shares of Star Maritime common stock generally
      will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount
      equal to the difference between his basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes
      in such shares and the cash received. The federal income tax consequences of
      the
      Redomiciliation Merger are complicated and may differ between individual
      stockholders. We strongly urge each Star Maritime stockholder to consult his
      or
      her own tax advisor regarding the federal income tax consequences of the
      Redomiciliation Merger in light of his or her own personal tax situation and
      also as to any state, local, foreign or other tax consequences arising out
      of
      the Redomiciliation Merger. Further, we do not give any opinion regarding the
      tax impact in the event that Star Maritime stockholders exercise redemption
      rights.</font></div>

      will be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax
      purposes if shareholders of the U.S. corporation whose assets are being acquired
      own at least 80 percent of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation after the
      acquisition. If Section 7874(b) of the Code&#160;were to apply to Star Maritime
      and the Redomiciliation Merger, then, among other consequences, Star Bulk,
      as
      the surviving entity of the Redomiciliation Merger, would be subject to U.S.
      federal income tax as a U.S. domestic corporation on its worldwide income after
      the Redomiciliation Merger. The Redomiciliation Merger has been structured
      so
      that upon completion of the Redomiciliation Merger and the concurrent issuance
      of stock to TMT is under the Acquisition Agreements, the stockholders of Star
      Maritime will own less than 80% of Star Bulk and therefore, Star Bulk should
      not
      be subject to Section 7874(b) of the Code&#160;after the Redomiciliation Merger.
      However, Star Maritime has not sought a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue
      Service, or the IRS, on this point. Therefore, there is no assurance that the
      IRS would not seek to assert that Star Bulk is subject to U.S. federal income
      tax on its worldwide income after the Redomiciliation Merger although Star
      Maritime believes that such an assertion should not be successful.</font></div>

          of
          the corporation. If a corporation complies with certain procedures intended

          a
          60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought
          against
          the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject
          any
          claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating
          distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with

          stockholder&#8217;s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the
          stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after

          comply
          with those procedures. In the event that Star Maritime&#8217;s directors recommend,
          and the stockholders approve, a plan of dissolution and liquidation where
          it is
          subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities was
          insufficient, stockholders who received a return of funds from the Trust
          Account
          could be liable for claims made by creditors to the extent of distributions
          received by them. As such, Star Maritime&#8217;s stockholders could potentially be
          liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in
          a
          dissolution, and any such liability of Star Maritime stockholders will
          likely
          extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, Star
          Maritime cannot assure its stockholders that third parties will not seek
          to
          recover from Star Maritime stockholders amounts owed to them by Star Maritime.

      rates for the drybulk carriers recently have been at historically high levels.
      Star Bulk anticipates that future demand for its vessels, and in turn future
      charter rates, will be dependent upon continued economic growth in the world&#8217;s
      economy, particularly in China and India, as well as seasonal and regional
      changes in demand and changes in the capacity of the world&#8217;s fleet. According to
      Drewry Shipping Consultants Limited, or Drewry, the world&#8217;s drybulk carrier
      fleet is expected to increase in 2007&#160;as a result of substantial scheduled
      deliveries of newly constructed vessels and low forecasts for scrapping of
      existing vessels. Continued economic growth in the world economy that exceeds
      growth in vessel capacity will be necessary to sustain current charter rates.
      There can be no assurance that economic growth will not decline or that vessel
      scrapping will occur at an even lower rate than forecasted. A decline in charter
      rates could have a material adverse effect on Star Bulk&#8217;s business, financial
      condition and results of operations. </font></div>

      could affect the amount of dividends that Star Bulk pays to its shareholders

      the

      interaction with the vessel can be an operational risk. By their nature, drybulk
      cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water
      exposure. In addition, drybulk carriers are often subjected to battering
      treatment during unloading 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 unloading procedures
      may
      be more susceptible to breach while at sea. Hull breaches in drybulk carriers
      may lead to the flooding of the vessels&#8217; holds. If a drybulk carrier suffers
      flooding in its forward holds, the bulk cargo may become so dense and
      waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel&#8217;s bulkheads leading to the
      loss of a vessel. If Star Bulk is unable to adequately maintain its vessels,
      it
      may be unable to prevent these events. Any of these circumstances or events
      could negatively impact Star Bulk&#8217;s business, financial condition, results of
      operations and ability to pay dividends. In addition, the loss of any of its
      vessels could harm Star Bulk&#8217;s reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner
      and operator.</font></div>

        first
        contact between Star Martime and TMT&#160;occurred on July 25, 2006 in Milan,
        Italy following an industry meeting in the area. It came about through the
        direct introduction of principals of the two parties without the intervention
        of
        brokers or finders and as such no finders fees are involved in
        the&#160;Redomiciliation Merger. During that initial meeting attended by Messrs.
        Nobu Su, Petros Pappas and Koert Erhardt, no proposals or agreements were
        made;
        only general information was&#160;exchanged about each other&#8217;s businesses and
        Mr. Pappas mentioned the endeavors of Star Maritime and promised to revert
        with
        more information. Mr. Erhardt followed up that meeting by calling Mr. Su
        to
        inquire whether TMT would be interested in selling any of its vessels to
        which
        he received a negative response. The matter&#160;was not pursued
        further&#160;until Mr. Su called Mr. Pappas&#160; inquiring further about Star
        Maritime and on October 5,</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">
        2006 Mr.
        Pappas sent the message he had promised to Mr. Su explaining potential

        2006
        with Messrs. Nobu Su, Peter Espig, Petros Pappas, Akis Tsirigakis,
        and&#160;George Syllantavos attending, where the groundwork for a deal was laid.
        It was followed-up by a conference call on November 23, 2006 attended by
        members
        of both parties during which Messrs. Akis Tsirigakis and Nobu Su reached
        an
        agreement on the deal. The parties memorialized their agreement in principle
        by
        signing a non-binding memorandum of understanding dated November 23, 2006,
        which
        summarized the terms of the proposed transaction. In furtherance of the
        memorandum of understanding, the parties commenced the implementation phase
        which culminated&#160;in the signing on January 12, 2007&#160;of separate
        Memoranda of Agreement for each of the eight drybulk carriers, the related

      most favorable manner with other international&#160;drybulk&#160;shipping
      companies listed in the U.S. public markets, all of which are domiciled outside
      of the United States, it was advisable to redomicile to the Republic of the
      Marshall Islands to benefit from important regulatory and tax advantages
      available to international shipping companies, particularly with respect to
      the
      exemption available under Section 883 of the Code relating to worldwide shipping

      accordance with the terms of the Initial Public Offering, it is a requirement
      that the target of Star Maritime&#8217;s initial business combination have a fair
      market value equal to at least 80% of Star Maritime&#8217;s net assets at the time of
      such acquisition. The Star Maritime board of directors, based on their financial
      skills, knowledge of and experience in the international shipping industry,
      determined that it was qualified to make the determination with regard to the
      net asset requirement. As a result of the Redomiciliation Merger, Star Maritime
      will merge with and into Star Bulk, with Star Bulk as the surviving corporation.
      On January 12, 2007, Star Bulk entered into separate MOAs with respect to each
      of the eight drybulk carriers in the initial fleet, together with the related
      Supplemental Agreement and the Master Agreement.&#160;Based on the independent
      vessel valuations performed by purchase and sale brokers recognized in the
      international shipping industry, Star Maritime&#8217;s board of directors determined
      that the aggregate purchase price of $345,237,520, consisting of
      $224,500,000&#160;in cash and 12,537,645 shares of common stock of Star Bulk to
      be&#160;issued to TMT, as&#160;agent for its vessel-owning subsidiaries, which
      amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests
      of
      Star Maritime and its stockholders and appropriately reflects the value of
      the
      vessels in the initial fleet. In reaching this conclusion, Star Maritime&#8217;s board
      of directors also took into account that Star Bulk may issue up to an additional
      1,606,962 shares of Star Bulk to TMT if certain revenue targets are achieved.
      <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Star
      Maritime&#8217;s board of directors was satisfied that, consistent with industry
      practice, the value of the MOAs that Star Bulk entered into are equivalent
      in
      value to the underlying value of the vessels to which the respective MOAs
      relate. </font>On January 12, 2007, 80% of the net assets of Star Maritime was
      equal to $154.5 million. Accordingly, the board of directors determined that
      the
      requirement that the target of Star Maritime&#8217;s initial business combination have
      a fair market value equal to at least 80% of Star Maritime&#8217;s net assets is
      satisfied. </font></div>

                shares, without taking into account any discount that may be associated
                with certain restrictions on these shares, collectively have a market

                $9.97 as of March 9, 2007. Except for up to 200,000 shares that may
                be
                required to be surrendered by such individuals for cancellation upon

      expect
      that the Redomiciliation Merger will be treated as a nontaxable reorganization
      for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, Star Bulk will not recognize
      a gain or loss as a result of the Redomiciliation Merger. In addition, Star
      Maritime stockholders will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of
      their
      shares of Star Maritime common stock solely for shares of Star Bulk common
      stock
      pursuant to the Redomiciliation Merger. However, a Star Maritime stockholder
      who
      solely receives cash in exchange for his or her shares of Star Maritime in
      the
      case of redemption will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
      purposes in an amount equal to the difference between&#160;his basis for U.S.
      federal income tax purposes in such shares and the cash received. The federal
      income tax consequences of the Redomiciliation Merger are complicated and may
      differ for individual stockholders. We strongly urge each Star Maritime
      stockholder to consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the federal income
      tax consequences of the Redomiciliation Merger in light of his or her own
      personal tax situation and also as to any state, local, foreign or other tax
      consequences arising out of the Redomiciliation Merger. Further, we do not
      give
      any opinion regarding the tax impact in the event that stockholders of Star
      Maritime determine to exercise their redemption rights and we urge you to
      consult with your own tax advisor.</font></div>

      Maritime is a blank check company, also known as a Business Combination
      Company<sup>TM</sup> or BCC<sup>TM</sup>, organized under the laws of the State
      of Delaware on May 13, 2005. Star Maritime was formed to acquire, through a
      merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
      combination, one or more target businesses in the shipping industry. On December
      15, 2005, Star Maritime consummated a Private Placement whereby certain of
      our
      officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 1,132,500 units at $10.00
      per
      unit, generating gross proceeds of $11,325,000. On December 21, 2005, Star
      Maritime consummated its Initial Public Offering of 18,867,500 units. Each
      unit
      consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles
      the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of
      $8.00 per share. Star Maritime&#8217;s common stock and warrants started trading
      separately as of February 27, 2006. The units sold in Star Maritime&#8217;s Initial
      Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating
      gross proceeds of $188,675,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts
      and
      commissions, the placement fee and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds
      to Star Maritime from the Initial Public Offering&#160;and the Private Placement
      were approximately $189,125,000 of which $188,675,000 was deposited into a
      Trust
      Account, $599,163 was used to repay interest and debt to Star Maritime&#8217;s
      Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Tsirigakis for a loan
      advanced to us to cover expenses related to the Public Offering and the
      remaining proceeds of $533,172, which after payment of $170,000 of additional
      financing fees, provided us with approximately $363,172, which was deposited
      and
      held outside of the Trust Account to be used to provide for business, legal
      and
      accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing
      operating expenses. The Trust Account is not to be released until the earlier
      of
      the consummation of a business combination or liquidation of Star Maritime.
      During The fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred $1,211,100&#160;of
      expenses, <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">$362,172
      of such operating expenses were provided by the net proceeds of the Initial
      Public Offering that were not deposited in the Trust Account, and $847,928
      of
      such operating expenses were provided by distributions of net interest income
      from the Trust Account, made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
      the
      Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated December 21, 2005 between Star
      Maritime and American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company. The net proceeds
      deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account earning
      interest. As of December 31, 2006, there was $192,915,257 held in the Trust
      Account, including interest income of $4,240,257. </font>$3,773,500 will be paid

      in part if public stockholders elect to have their shares redeemed for
      cash.</font></div>

        to the terms of Star Maritime&#8217;s Initial Public Offering, the initial target
        business that Star Maritime acquires must have a fair market value equal
        to at
        least 80% of Star Maritime&#8217;s net assets at the time of such acquisition,
        determined by Star Maritime&#8217;s board of directors based on standards generally
        accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales,
        earnings, cash flow and book value. Star Maritime is not required to obtain
        an
        opinion from an investment banking firm as to fair market value if its board
        independently determines that the target business has sufficient fair market
        value. Star Maritime has not obtained any opinion from an investment banking
        firm in connection with the Redomiciliation Merger.</font></div>

        Star
        Maritime does not complete a business combination with a target business
        by
        December 21, 2007, Star Maritime will be dissolved as a part of a plan of
        dissolution and liquidation in accordance with the applicable provisions
        of
        Delaware General Corporate Law, or&#160;DGCL&#160;and will distribute to holders
        of shares that were initially issued in its Initial Public Offering, in
        proportion to their respective equity interests, sums in the Trust Account,
        inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets. In the event Star
        Maritime seeks stockholder approval for a plan of dissolution and distribution
        and does not obtain such approval, it will nonetheless continue to pursue
        stockholder approval for its dissolution. Pursuant to the terms of Star
        Maritime&#8217;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, its directors have
        agreed to dissolve after December 21, 2007 (assuming that there has been
        no
        business combination consummated), and Star Maritime&#8217;s powers following the
        expiration of the permitted time period for consummating a business combination
        will automatically thereafter be limited to acts and activities relating
        to
        dissolving and winding up its affairs, including liquidation. The funds held
        in
        the Trust Account may not be distributed except upon Star Maritime&#8217;s dissolution
        and, unless and until such approval is obtained from Star Maritime&#8217;s
        stockholders, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released.
        Consequently, holders of a majority of Star Maritime&#8217;s outstanding stock must
        approve its dissolution in order to receive the funds held in the Trust Account
        and the funds will not be available for any other corporate purpose (although
        they may be subject to creditor&#8217;s claims as discussed elsewhere in this joint
        proxy statement/prospectus). Immediately upon the approval by Star Maritime&#8217;s
        stockholders of a plan of dissolution and distribution, Star Maritime will
        liquidate the Trust Account to the holders of shares that were initially
        issued
        in its Initial Public Offering (subject to any provision for unpaid claims
        against Star Maritime which it is advised must or should be withheld).
        Stockholders of Star Maritime who acquired their shares prior to Star Maritime&#8217;s
        Initial Public Offering have waived their rights to participate in any
        liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock owned by
        them
        prior to the Initial Public Offering. There will be no distribution from
        the
        Trust Account with respect to Star Maritime&#8217;s warrants.</font></div>

        the
        DGCL, Star Maritime stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties
        against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in
        a
        dissolution. The DGCL provides for limitations on the potential liability
        of
        stockholders if Star Maritime winds up its affairs in compliance with either
        Section 280 or Section 281(b) of that statute following a dissolution. If
        Star
        Maritime complies with either procedure, the DGCL (i) limits the potential
        liability of each stockholder for claims against Star Maritime to the lesser
        of
        the stockholder&#8217;s pro-rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the
        stockholder in liquidation and (ii) limits the aggregate liability of any
        stockholder for all claims against Star Maritime to the amount distributed
        to
        the stockholder for in dissolution. If Star Maritime were to comply with
        Section
        280 instead of Section 281(b), the DGCL also would operate to extinguish
        the
        potential liability of its stockholders for any claims against Star Maritime
        unless litigation with respect to such claim has been commenced prior to
        the
        expiration of the statutory winding-up period under Delaware law (generally
        three years). In addition, compliance with Section 280 could potentially
        operate
        to bar certain claims if the claimant does not take specified actions within
        certain time frames specified in the statute.</font></div>

          though compliance with Section 280 of the DGCL would provide additional
          protections to both Star Maritime&#8217;s directors and stockholders from potential
          liability for third party claims against Star Maritime, it is Star Maritime&#8217;s
          intention to make liquidating distributions to its stockholders as soon
          as
          reasonably possible following any dissolution and, therefore, it does not
          expect
          that its board of directors will elect to comply with the more complex
          procedures of Section 280. Because Star Maritime will most likely not be
          complying with Section 280, it will seek stockholder approval to comply
          with
          Section 281(b) of the DGCL, requiring it to adopt a plan of dissolution
          that
          will provide for its payment, based on facts known to it at such time,
          of (i)
          all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that
          may be
          potentially brought against Star Maritime within the subsequent ten years.
          As
          such, Star Maritime&#8217;s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to
          the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and&#160;any such
          liability of Star Maritime&#8217;s stockholders will likely extent beyond the third
          anniversary of such dissolution. Because Star Maritime is a blank check
          company,
          rather than an operating company, and its operations have been limited
          to
          searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only other
          claims
          likely to arise would be from its vendors (such as accountants, lawyers,
          investment bankers, etc.). Star Maritime intends to attempt to enter into
          arrangements with most, if not all significant creditors whereby they agree
          to
          waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies
          held
          in the Trust Account. As a result of this, Star Maritime believes that
          claims
          that could be made against Star Maritime would be significantly limited
          and the
          likelihood that any such claim would result in any liability extending
          to the
          Trust Account would be minimal. There is no guarantee that the creditors
          will
          agree to such arrangements, or even if they do that they would be prevented
          from
          bringing claims against the Trust Account.</font></div>

      Bulk
      intends to focus on the larger size segments of the drybulk sector such as
      Capesize, Panamax and Supramax drybulk carriers. Star Bulk believes these
      segments offer greater potential compared to smaller drybulk carriers, such
      as
      Handymax and Handysize vessels. Furthermore, Star Bulk&#8217;s targeted fleet profile
      will enable it to serve its customers in both major and minor bulk trades.
      Star
      Bulk&#8217;s vessels will be able to trade worldwide in a multitude of trade routes
      carrying a wide range of cargoes for a number of industries. Star Bulk&#8217;s drybulk
      carriers can carry coal and iron ore for energy and steel production as well
      as
      grain and steel products, fertilizers, minerals, forest products, ores, bauxite,
      alumina, cement and other cargoes. Star Bulk&#8217;s fleet will include&#160;five

      operational and scheduling flexibility, efficiencies in employee training and

        Bulk
        has adopted an equity incentive plan, which Star Bulk refers to as the 2007
        Equity Incentive Plan, under which officers, key employees, directors and
        consultants of Star Bulk and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive
        options to acquire shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted
        stock and other stock-based or stock-denominated awards. Star Bulk has reserved
        a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan,
        subject
        to adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in the plan. The
        purpose
        of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan is to encourage ownership of shares by,
        and to
        assist Star Bulk in attracting, retaining and providing incentives to, its
        officers, key employees, directors and consultants whose contributions to
        Star
        Bulk are or will be important to the success of Star Bulk and to align the
        interests of such persons with Star Bulk&#8217;s stockholders. The various types of
        incentive awards that may be issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
        will
        enable Star Bulk to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws,
        accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its business.</font></div>

      the United States is not a party thereto, many countries have ratified and
      currently follow the liability plan adopted by the IMO and set out in the
      International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969,
      or
      the 1969 Convention. Under this convention, and depending on whether the country
      in which the damage results is a party to the 1992 Protocol to the International
      Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, a vessel&#8217;s registered
      owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters
      of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject to certain
      complete defenses. Under an amendment that became effective in
      November&#160;2003 for vessels of 5,000 to 140,000 gross tons (a unit of
      measurement for the total enclosed spaces within a vessel), liability is limited
      to approximately $6.75&#160;million plus approximately $944.7 for each
      additional gross ton over 5,000. For vessels of over 140,000 gross tons,
      liability is limited to approximately $134.4&#160;million. As the 1969
      Convention calculates liability in terms of basket currencies, these figures
      are
      based on currency exchange rates on January 23, 2007. Under the 1969 Convention,
      the right to limit liability is forfeited where the spill is caused by the
      owner&#8217;s actual fault; under the 1992 Protocol, a shipowner cannot limit
      liability where the spill is caused by the owner&#8217;s intentional or reckless
      conduct. Vessels trading in jurisdictions that are parties to these conventions
      must provide evidence of insurance covering the liability of the owner. In
      jurisdictions where the 1969 Convention has not been adopted, including the
      United States, various legislative schemes or common law govern, and liability
      is imposed either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to that
      convention. Star Bulk believes that its protection and indemnity insurance
      will
      cover the liability under the plan adopted by the IMO.</font></div>

      with shipping industry practice, other than inspection of the physical condition
      of the vessels and examinations of classification society records, there is
      no
      historical financial due diligence process when Star Bulk acquires vessels.
      Accordingly, Star Bulk does not obtain the historical operating data for the
      vessels from the sellers because that information is not material to its
      decision to make acquisitions. Generally, vessels are sold under a standardized
      agreement, which, among other things, provides the buyer with the right to
      inspect the vessel and the vessel&#8217;s classification society records. The standard
      agreement does not give the buyer the right to inspect, or receive copies of,
      the historical operating data of the vessel. Prior to the delivery of a
      purchased vessel, the seller typically removes from the vessel all records,
      including past financial records and accounts related to the vessel. In
      addition, the technical management agreement between the seller&#8217;s technical
      manager and the seller is automatically terminated and the vessel&#8217;s trading
      certificates are revoked by its flag state following a change in
      ownership.</font></div>

      with shipping industry practice, Star Bulk treats the acquisition of a vessel
      (whether acquired with or without charter) as the acquisition of an asset rather
      than a business. Star Bulk has agreed to acquire six vessels with time charters
      and may, in the future, acquire some vessels with or without time charters.
      Where a vessel has been under a voyage charter, the vessel is delivered to
      the
      buyer free of charter, and it is rare in the shipping industry for the last
      charterer of the vessel in the hands of the seller to continue as the first
      charterer of the vessel in the hands of the buyer. In most cases, when a vessel
      is under time charter and the buyer wishes to assume that charter, the vessel
      cannot be acquired without the charterer&#8217;s consent and the buyer&#8217;s entering into
      a separate direct agreement with the charterer to assume the charter. The
      purchase of a vessel itself does not transfer the charter, because it is a
      separate service agreement between the vessel owner and the charterer.
      Consistent with shipping industry practice, vessels are delivered debt-free,
      whether or not they had previously been mortgaged. </font></div>

      generate revenues that are less predictable but may enable us to capture
      increased profit margins during periods of improvements in charter rates
      although we are exposed to the risk of declining vessel rates, which may have
      a
      materially adverse impact on our financial performance. If we employ vessels

        Star
        Bulk will depreciate its vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated
        useful lives, estimated to be 25&#160;years from date of initial delivery from
        the shipyard. Star Bulk believes that a 25-year depreciable life is consistent
        with that of other ship owners. Furthermore, Star Bulk estimates the residual
        values of its vessels to be $200 per light-weight ton which it believes is
        common in the dry bulk shipping industry. Depreciation is based on cost less
        the
        estimated residual scrap value. An increase in the useful life of the vessel
        or
        in the residual value would have the effect of decreasing the annual

          volumes of basic commodities and finished products. Seaborne cargo is
          categorized as dry cargo or liquid cargo. Dry cargo includes dry bulk cargo,
          container cargo and non container cargo. Container cargo is shipped in
          20 or 40
          foot containers and includes a wide variety of finished products. Non-container
          cargo includes other dry cargo that cannot be shipped in a container due
          to
          size, weight or handling requirements, such as large manufacturing equipment
          or

          cargo can be further defined as either major bulk cargo or minor bulk cargo,

          of which is shipped in bulk carriers. Major bulk cargo includes, among
          other
          things, iron ore, coal and grain. Minor bulk cargo includes agricultural
          products, mineral cargo (including metal concentrates), cement, forest
          products
          and metal products. Dry bulk cargo is normally shipped in large quantities
          and
          can be easily stowed in a single hold with little risk of cargo damage.

          for dry bulk carrier capacity is also affected by the operating efficiency
          of
          the global fleet. In recent years the growth in trade has led to port
          congestion, with ships at times being forced to wait outside port to either
          load
          or discharge due to limited supply of berths at major ports. This inefficiency
          has been a further factor contributing to the general tightness in the
          market.</font></div>

          variations in the commodity markets, including iron ore, steam coal and
          grain,
          can also have a further impact on demand for dry bulk carriers. For example,
          steam coal&#8217;s link to the energy and electricity markets results in increased
          demand when power companies increase their stock in winter months and when
          refrigeration and air conditioning increase electricity demand in summer
          months.

        shipping industry, over the last two years the average age at which dry bulk
        carriers have been scrapped has increased and a number of well-maintained
        vessels have continued to operate past the age of 30. </font></div>

          hire rates fluctuate by varying degrees amongst the dry bulk carrier size
          categories. The volume and pattern of trade in a small number of commodities
          (major bulks) affect demand for larger vessels. 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. Conversely, trade in a greater number of
          commodities (minor bulks) drives demand for smaller dry bulk carriers.
          Accordingly, charter rates and vessel values for those vessels are subject
          to
          less volatility.</font></div>

          hire rates paid for dry bulk carriers are primarily a function of the underlying

          voyage charter market, rates are influenced by cargo size, commodity, port
          dues
          and canal transit fees, as well as delivery and redelivery 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 that includes ports where vessels load cargo also
          are
          generally quoted at lower rates. This is 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

      and expansion, restrictions in its credit facility, the provisions of Marshall
      Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and other
      factors. Star Bulk&#8217;s ability to pay dividends will be limited by the amount of
      cash it can generate from operations,&#160;primarily the charter hire, net of
      commissions, received by Star Bulk under the charters for its vessels during
      the
      preceding calendar quarter, less expenses for that quarter,&#160;consisting

      and administrative expenses, debt service, maintenance expenses and the
      establishment of any reserves as well as additional factors unrelated to its

      Star Bulk is a holding company with no material assets other than the shares
      of
      its subsidiaries which will directly own the vessels in Star Bulk&#8217;s fleet, Star
      Bulk&#8217;s ability to pay dividends will depend on the earnings and cash flow of its
      subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to Star Bulk. Star Bulk cannot
      assure you that, after the expiration or earlier termination of its charters,
      Star Bulk will have any sources of income from which dividends may be
      paid.&#160;If there is a substantial decline in the charter market, this would
      negatively affect Star Bulk&#8217;s earnings and limit its ability to pay dividends.

      salaries will be incurred in Euros. Moreover, unanticipated extraordinary cash
      expenses may be incurred in foreign currencies. This difference could lead
      to
      fluctuations in net income due to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar
      relative to the Euro and other currencies. Expenses incurred in foreign
      currencies against which the U.S. dollar falls in value can increase, which
      would result in a decrease in Star Bulk&#8217;s net income.</font></div>

      and the Business Corporation Act, or BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble
      provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States.
      For example, the BCA allows the adoption of various anti-takeover measures
      such
      as shareholder rights plans. While the BCA also provides that it is to be
      interpreted according to the laws of the State of Delaware and other states
      with
      substantially similar legislative provisions, there have been few, if any,
      court
      cases interpreting the BCA in the Marshall Islands and we can not predict
      whether Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions as United
      States courts. Thus, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests
      in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders
      than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a United States
      jurisdiction which has developed a substantial body of case law. The following
      table provides a comparison between the statutory provisions of the BCA and
      the&#160;DGCL relating to shareholders&#8217; rights.</font></div>

      a

      corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if shareholders of the U.S.

      non-U.S. acquiring corporation after the acquisition. If Section 7874(b) were
      to

      surviving entity of the Redomiciliation Merger, would be subject to U.S. federal
      income tax as a U.S. domestic corporation on its worldwide income after the
      Redomiciliation Merger. In addition, as a domestic corporation, any dividends
      paid by Star Bulk to a non-U.S. shareholder would be subject to a U.S. federal

      Bulk
      is not subject to Section 7874(b) after the Redomiciliation Merger and therefore
      should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a U.S. domestic corporation

      U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income after the Redomiciliation

      in
      which it owns at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary&#8217;s stock. Income
      earned, or deemed earned, by Star Bulk in connection with the performance of

      generally constitute &#8220;passive income&#8221; unless Star Bulk was treated under

      on
      our current operations and future projections, Star Bulk does not believe that
      it is, nor doesStar Bulk expect to become, a passive foreign investment company
      with respect to any taxable year. Although there is no legal authority directly
      on point, and Star Bulk is not relying upon an opinion of counsel on this issue,
      Star Bulk&#8217;s belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of
      determining whether Star Bulk is a passive foreign investment company, the
      gross
      income Star Bulk derives or is deemed to derive from the time chartering and
      voyage chartering activities of its wholly-owned subsidiaries should constitute
      services income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly, such income should
      not constitute passive income, and the assets that Star Bulk or its wholly-owned
      subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the production of such income,
      in particular, the vessels, should not constitute passive assets for purposes
      of
      determining whether Star Bulk is a passive foreign investment company. Star
      Bulk
      believes there is substantial legal authority supporting its position consisting
      of case law and IRS pronouncements concerning the characterization of income
      derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other
      tax
      purposes. However, in the absence of any legal authority specifically relating
      to the statutory provisions governing passive foreign investment companies,
      the
      IRS or a court could disagree with Star Bulk&#8217;s position. In addition, although
      Star Bulk intends to conduct its affairs in a manner to avoid being classified
      as a passive foreign investment company with respect to any taxable year, Star
      Bulk cannot assure you that the nature of its operations will not change in
      the
      future.</font></div>

      discussed more fully below, if Star Bulk were to be treated as a passive foreign
      investment company 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 &#8220;Qualified Electing Fund,&#8221; which election Star Bulk refers to

&#8220;Electing Holder,&#8221; the Electing Holder must report each year for U.S. federal
      income tax purposes his pro rata share of Star Bulk ordinary earnings and Star
      Bulk&#8217;s net capital gain, if any, for Star Bulk&#8217;s taxable year that ends with or
      within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not
      distributions were received from Star Bulk by the Electing Holder. The Electing
      Holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the common stock 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 stock 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 Star Bulk common stock. A U.S.
      Holder would make a QEF election with respect to any year that Star Bulk is
      a
      passive foreign investment company by filing IRS Form&#160;8621 with his U.S.
      federal income tax return. If Star Bulk is aware that it was to be treated
      as a
      passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, Star Bulk would provide
      each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make the QEF
      election described above.</font></div>

      respect to Star Bulk common stock, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files
      IRS Form&#160;8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related
      Treasury Regulations. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would

      fair
      market value of the common stock at the end of the taxable year over such
      holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the common stock. The U.S. Holder would also be

      Holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the common stock 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&#8217;s
      tax basis in his common stock would be adjusted to reflect any such income
      or
      loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Star
      Bulk common stock would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized
      on
      the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common stock would be treated
      as

      mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder.</font></div>

      conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company

      plan
      and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
      statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
      of
      internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
      procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit
      includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
      disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes assessing the
      accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
      well
      as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit
      provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></div>

          accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Star
          Maritime
          Acquisition Corp. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
          1 to
          the financial statements, the Company may face a mandatory liquidation
          by
          December 21, 2007 if a business combination is not consummated, unless
          certain
          extension criteria are met, which raises substantial doubt its ability
          to
          continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
          adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.</font></div>

            not

            certain
            expenses (including attorney's fees and disbursements and court costs)
            to our
            directors and officers and carry directors' and officers' insurance providing
            indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for
            some
            liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance

            useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive
            officers.</font></div>

            incorporation and bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a
            lawsuit
            against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
            may also
            have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against
            directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might
            otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment
            may be
            adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage
            awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification

            involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification

      The

      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) as of the date of the

      Statement, there was no material debt, liability or obligation of any nature
      not
