· On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into two “at the market” offering programs one with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) and one with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“Deutsche Bank” and together with Jefferies, the “Sales Agents”). In accordance with the terms of each at-the-market sale agreement with Jefferies and Deutsche Bank, the Company may offer and sell a number of its common shares, having an aggregate offering price of up to $75,000 at any time and from time to time through each of the Sales Agents, as agent or principal. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales under the two “at the market” offering programs for capital expenditures, working capital, debt repayment, funding for vessel and other asset or share acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes, or a combination thereof. As of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, no shares have been sold from the Company under either of the two offering programs.

 

· On July 30, 2021, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 8.30% Senior Notes due in 2022 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, or $50,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date.

 

· In August 2021 the Company received credit committee approval for a new loan syndicated facility led by DNB Bank ASA of up to $107,500 (the “DNB $107,500 Facility”), which will refinance the existing debt of eight of its vessels amounting to $88,148 as of June 30, 2021 spread across three different existing facilities. Once drawdown is effected, the excess funds will cover part of the funds used for the redemption of the 8.30% Senior Notes due in 2022, as discussed above. The DNB $107,500 Facility will mature five years from its drawdown and will be secured by a first priority mortgage on the eight financed vessels (Star Polaris, Star Borealis, Star Electra, Star Luna, Star Astrid, Star Genesis, Star Monica & Star Glory).

The Company is not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of its common shares. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice. Common shares purchased as part of this program will be cancelled by the Company.
