Tanker Business </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ATHENS, GREECE &#151; March&nbsp;8, 2019 &#151; Capital Product Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: CPLP) (&#147;CPLP&#148;) announced today that
its Board of Directors has established March&nbsp;19, 2019 as the record date (the &#147;Record Date&#148;) for the previously announced <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> of its crude and product tanker business into a separate
publicly listed company, Diamond S Shipping Inc. (&#147;DSSI&#148;). Promptly following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off,</FONT> DSSI will merge with businesses and operations of DSS Holdings L.P. (&#147;DSS&#148;) in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">share-for-share</FONT></FONT> transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> will occur by way of distribution of all the 12,725,000 then outstanding DSSI common shares to record holders of CPLP&#146;s common units and general partner units (the &#147;CPLP unitholders&#148;).
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The distribution of common shares of DSSI is expected to occur on March&nbsp;27, 2019 (the &#147;Distribution Date&#148;). Each CPLP unitholder will be
entitled to receive one DSSI common share for every 10.19149 CPLP common units or 10.19149 CPLP general partner units held as of 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date. CPLP unitholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional
DSSI common shares they would otherwise be entitled to receive in the distribution. The CPLP unitholders are not required to make any payment or take any other action to receive DSSI common shares in the distribution, and they will not be required
to surrender or exchange their CPLP common units or CPLP general partner units. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Immediately following the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off,</FONT> there will be a series of mergers as a result of which, pursuant to the definitive agreement that CPLP entered into with DSS (the &#147;Transaction Agreement&#148;), DSSI will acquire the business
and operations of DSS. In the combination, DSSI will issue 27,165,695 additional DSSI common shares to DSS, which amount reflects the relative net asset values of the respective businesses and the agreed implied premium on the net asset value of
CPLP&#146;s tanker business. Following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> and merger, DSSI will be an independent, publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol &#147;DSSI.&#148; CPLP common units
will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol &#147;CPLP.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is expected that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the distribution will
be treated as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-taxable</FONT> return of capital to the extent of each CPLP common unitholder&#146;s tax basis, and thereafter as capital gain. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The completion of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, which is filed
as an exhibit to DSSI&#146;s registration statement on Form 10 (the &#147;Form 10&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Evercore and Stifel are serving as financial advisors and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The statements in this press release that are not historical facts, including, among other things, the consummation of the transaction, are forward-looking
statements (as such term is defined in Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the stated or forecasted results to be materially
different from those anticipated. These risk and uncertainties include, among others: (1)&nbsp;the risk that the transaction may not be completed on terms or in the timeframe expected by DSS or CPLP or at all; (2)&nbsp;the possibility that various
closing conditions to the transaction may not be satisfied or waived; (3)&nbsp;the risk that committed financing may not be available or may not be available in an amount sufficient, together with cash to be procured by DSS, to complete the
transaction; (4)&nbsp;risks and uncertainties related to the expected tax treatment of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off;</FONT> (5)&nbsp;failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; (6)&nbsp;the impact of the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> on the business of CPLP; and (7)&nbsp;the potential impact of major shareholdings on the trading price of the DSSI common shares. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome
of forward-looking statements and other risks and uncertainties, see &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in CPLP&#146;s annual report filed with the SEC on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-F</FONT> and in DSSI&#146;s information statement attached as
an exhibit to the Form 10. Unless required by law, each of DSS and CPLP expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether because of future events, new information, a change in its views or
expectations, to conform them to actual results or otherwise. Neither DSS nor CPLP assumes any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to DSS or CPLP or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.
