SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 26, 2018, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, signed a Memorandum of Agreement to purchase a Supramax bulk carrier (m/v Bulk Spirit) built in 2009, for approximately $13 million. The vessel, which was delivered in February 2019, was financed under a bareboat charter to be accounted for as a finance lease under ASC 842. The minimum lease payments are fixed at 5.1% for the first five years of the lease term and fluctuate based on three-month LIBOR after that time. Bareboat hire is payable monthly over the eight-year lease term. The Company has the option to purchase the vessel at the end of the second year of the lease or thereafter, or in the case of default by the lessor, at any time during the lease term. The Company will own this vessel at the end of the lease term (see Note 5).
