    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial;">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: Arial;">We desire 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. Words such as, but not limited to, &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;targets,&#8221; &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;likely,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221;&#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;forecasts,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;possible&#8221;

    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial;">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,
      examination by our management of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently
      subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.</div>
    <div style="font-family: Arial;">In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
      statements include general dry bulk shipping market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values; the strength of world economies; the stability of Europe and the Euro; fluctuations <font style="color: #000000;">in currencies, interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and the impact of the discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate for US Dollars, or LIBOR, after June 30, 2023 on any of our debt referencing LIBOR in the
        interest rate</font>; business disruptions due to natural disasters or other disasters outside our control, such as the ongoing novel coronavirus (&#8220;COVID-19&#8221;) pandemic (and variants that may emerge); the length and severity of epidemics and
      pandemics, including COVID-19 and its impact on the demand for seaborne transportation in the dry bulk sector; changes in supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry, including the market for our vessels and the number of newbuildings under
      construction; the potential for technological innovation in the sector in which we operate and any corresponding reduction in the value of our vessels or the charter income derived therefrom; changes in our expenses, including bunker prices, dry
      docking, crewing and insurance costs; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities; potential liability from pending or future litigation and potential costs due to environmental damage and vessel
      collisions; the impact of increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders, charterers and other market participants with respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance (&#8220;ESG&#8221;) practices; our ability to carry out our ESG
      initiatives and thereby meet our ESG goals and targets; new environmental regulations and restrictions, whether at a global level stipulated by the International Maritime Organization, and/or regional/national level imposed by regional authorities
      such as the European Union or individual countries; potential cyber-attacks which may disrupt our business operations; general domestic and international political conditions or events, including &#8220;trade wars&#8221; and the ongoing conflict between Russia
      and Ukraine; the impact on our common shares and reputation if our vessels were to call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments; potential physical disruption of shipping routes due to
      accidents, climate-related reasons (acute and chronic), political events, public health threats, international hostilities and instability, piracy or acts by terrorists; the availability of financing and refinancing; the failure of our contract
      counterparties to meet their obligations; our ability to meet requirements for additional capital and financing to grow our business; the impact of our indebtedness and the compliance with the covenants included in our debt agreements; vessel
      breakdowns and instances of off&#8208;hire; potential exposure or loss from investment in derivative instruments; potential conflicts of interest involving our Chief Executive Officer, his family and other members of our senior management and our ability
      to complete acquisition transactions as and when planned and upon the expected terms and the impact of port or canal congestion or disruptions. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these
      and other risks and uncertainties. The information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward&#8208;looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date
