Mortgaged Vessels (collectively, the &#147;Initial Collateral&#148;). In the future, vessels, shipping containers and container shipping-related assets and certain other associated property and contract rights may be pledged in addition to or in
substitution for Initial Collateral. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay all outstanding borrowings under, and
