a) On May 27, 2019, the Company entered into an en bloc definitive agreement with entities controlled by Delphin Shipping, LLC (“Delphin”), an entity affiliated with Kelso & Company, pursuant to which it agreed to acquire 11 operating dry bulk vessels (the “Delphin Vessels”) for an aggregate purchase price of $139.5 million (“Delphin Purchase Price”), which was paid in (a) $80.0 million of cash and (b) 4.503 million common shares of Star Bulk (the “Delphin Consideration Shares”) (collectively, the “Delphin Vessel Acquisition”). The Company has secured exhaust gas cleaning systems (the “Delphin Scrubbers”) for all of the Delphin Vessels. The cash portion of the Purchase Price will be financed through proceeds of a new seven-year finance lease of up to $91.4 million with China Merchants Bank Leasing, and an additional tranche of $15.0 million for financing of the Delphin Scrubbers. Delphin has agreed not to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose more than 2,251,685 of the Consideration Shares prior to November 23, 2019.
