      the SEC, the registration statement will allow Ardmore to issue various
      types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt
      securities, warrants or units, from time to time up to an aggregate
      amount of $300 million.

      Anthony Gurnee, the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
      &#8220;Although we do not have immediate plans for raising and using
      additional capital, we anticipate that a shelf registration will provide
      more efficient access to the capital markets and allow Ardmore to act
      opportunistically in support of our growth objectives.&quot;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Gurnee continued, &#8220;Our strategy is to continue to grow the company
      in an accretive manner and build long-term value for our shareholders,
      and we believe that filing a shelf registration is a prudent step in
      providing additional financial flexibility for Ardmore.&#8221;
