    <p>
      CORK, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 15, 2014--Ardmore Shipping
      Corporation (NYSE:ASC) (&quot;Ardmore&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) today announced that
      its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share
      for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The cash dividend is payable on
      February 14, 2014 to all shareholders of record on January 31, 2014.
    </p>
    <p>
      Anthony Gurnee, the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer commented:
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Following our payment last quarter of a pro-rated dividend for the
      period August 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013, we are pleased to declare
      our first full quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share. This dividend is
      in line with our previously stated intention to pay our shareholders
      quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share, or $0.40 per share per year.
      Ardmore remains committed to the issuance of a regular quarterly
      dividend as an important means of creating value for our shareholders.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>About Ardmore Shipping Corporation:</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Ardmore owns and operates a modern, fuel-efficient fleet of mid-size
      product and chemical tankers. The Company is engaged in the seaborne
      transportation of petroleum products and chemicals worldwide to oil
      majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical traders, and chemical
      companies.&#160;Additional information is available at the Company's website&#160;<u>www.ardmoreshipping.com</u>,
      which is not a part of this press release.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Forward-Looking Statements</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      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. The Company desires 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. The words &quot;believe,&quot; &quot;anticipate,&quot;
      &quot;intends,&quot; &quot;estimate,&quot; &quot;forecast,&quot; &quot;project,&quot; &quot;plan,&quot; &quot;potential,&quot;
      &quot;may,&quot; &quot;should,&quot; &quot;expect,&quot; &quot;pending&quot; and similar expressions identify
      forward-looking statements.
    </p>
    <p>
      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, our management's examination
      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.
    </p>
    <p>
      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 the failure of
      counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of
      world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including
      fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for
      tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including
      bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our
      vessels, competition in the tanker industry, availability of financing
      and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain
      financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements,
      changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by
      regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future
      litigation, general domestic and international political conditions,
      potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, piracy or
      political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and
      other factors. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and
      uncertainties.
