</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>LONDON, April&nbsp;29, 2009</B> &#150; Global Ship Lease, Inc (NYSE: GSL, GSL.U GSL.WS), a containership charter owner, announced today that due to
current challenges in the ship valuation environment and as a pre-emptive measure against potential issues under loan-to-value covenants in its US$ 800&nbsp;million credit facility, the Company has signed an agreement to waive for two months the
requirement under the credit facility to submit vessel valuations, which were next due on April&nbsp;30, 2009 and undertake the consequent loan-to-value test. Accordingly, the Company has entered negotiations with its lenders until June&nbsp;30,
2009, during which time it expects to finalize an amendment to the credit facility. In connection with the agreement for a two month waiver, Global Ship Lease will not pay dividends to common shareholders during this period and intends to review its
dividend policy at the end of this period. The facility will bear an interest margin of 2.75% for the two month period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Ian Webber, Chief Executive
Officer of Global Ship Lease, commented, &#147;This agreement was secured in response to the current disruption in the containership sale and purchase market and resulting difficulty in receiving meaningful vessel valuations when many ship brokers
have suspended issuing such valuations. We will work closely with our bank group over the next two months to further amend our credit facility. Importantly, all of our contracts continue to perform as expected and our charter hire remains current.
We anticipate that operating income for First Quarter 2009 will be in excess of $13 million compared to $10 million for Fourth Quarter 2008, reflecting a full quarter&#146;s contribution from the four vessels we purchased in December. Further, our
entire operating fleet is secured to time charters with an average remaining term of approximately 10 years, positioning the Company to continue to generate predictable and stable cash flows going forward. Global Ship Lease&#146;s total contracted
revenue is currently $1.6 billion.&#148; </FONT></P>
