<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In each case, the vessels have been acquired at attractive discounts to their market values. The <i>NYK Lodestar</i> has been chartered for a 2 year term at an above market rate.&#160; The average length of Danaos&#146; current vessel charters is 7.4 years with contracted revenue of $3.3 billion.&#160; Danaos anticipates charter agreements for the <i>Suez Canal</i> and the <i>Genoa</i> will be entered into in the near future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dr.&nbsp;John Coustas, Chairman and CEO of Danaos commented:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;These acquisitions were made at a discount to the vessels&#146; present market value and demonstrate our ability to source accretive acquisitions through our strong relationships in the shipping and lending communities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are pleased to announce this new venture, which will allow Danaos to resume its growth strategy as weakness in the containership market presents compelling value.&#160; It is important to stress that we are doing this without diluting our shareholders&#148; continued Dr.&nbsp;Coustas.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the Gemini Shareholders Agreement, Danaos has the right to purchase all of the beneficial interest in Gemini that it does not own for fair market value at any time after December&nbsp;31, 2018, or earlier if permitted under its credit facilities.</font></p>
