      Shipping Announces Declaration of Dividend</b></font>

    <p>
      HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 15, 2015--Ardmore Shipping
      Corporation (NYSE:ASC) (&#8220;Ardmore&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) today announced that
      its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of&#160;$0.10&#160;per share
      for the quarter ending June 30, 2015. The cash dividend is payable on
      August 14, 2015 to all shareholders of record on July 31, 2015.
    </p>
    <p>
      In April 2015, Ardmore adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (&#8220;DRIP&#8221;),
      which enables participants to obtain additional common shares of the
      Company by automatically reinvesting all or any portion of the cash
      dividends paid on common shares held by the DRIP participant. Any
      beneficial holders of Ardmore&#8217;s common shares who are interested in
      participating in the DRIP are advised to contact their bank or brokerage
      firm representative for the appropriate enrollment procedures and
      respective deadlines for DRIP participation before the record date of
      July 31, 2015.
    </p>
    <p>
      The DRIP is administered through the Company&#8217;s transfer agent,
      Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (&#8220;Computershare&#8221;). Shareholders and
      other persons may obtain a copy of the DRIP prospectus and enrollment
      forms by contacting Computershare at (877)&#160;373-6374, or visiting
      Computershare&#8217;s website at <u>www.computershare.com/investor</u>.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>About Ardmore Shipping Corporation</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Ardmore owns and operates a fleet of mid-size product and chemical
      tankers ranging from 17,500 to 50,300 deadweight tonnes. The Company
      provides seaborne transportation of petroleum products and chemicals
      worldwide to oil majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical
      traders, and chemical companies, with its modern, fuel-efficient fleet

    <p>
      Ardmore&#8217;s core strategy is to develop a modern, high-quality fleet of
      product and chemical tankers, build key long-term commercial
      relationships, maintain its cost advantage in assets, operations and
      overhead, while creating significant synergies and economies of scale as
      the Company grows. Ardmore provides its services to customers through
      voyage charters, commercial pools and time charters and enjoys close
      working relationships with key commercial and technical management
      partners. Ardmore views the continued development of these relationships
      as crucial to its long-term success.

      <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 &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221;
      &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221;
      &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;pending&#8221; and similar expressions identify
      forward-looking statements.

    <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&#8217;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.
