(a)&(e) On December 20, 2021, Fourthone and Eleventhone concluded as joint and several borrowers a loan agreement with Alpha Bank in order to refinance the existing facility of the “Pyxis Malou” and to partly finance the acquisition of the “Pyxis Lamda”.

On the same date, Fourthone drew down an amount of $7,320 and fully settled the previous loan facility outstanding balance of $7,320. On March 23, 2023, pursuant to the sale agreement with an unaffiliated third party we delivered “Pyxis Malou” to her buyer. The aggregate gross sale price was $24.8 million from which $6.4 million was used for the prepayment of the respective loan facility and $0.75 million to prepay part of the outstanding loan for the “Pyxis Lamda”. As of June 30, 2023, the loan balance of Pyxis Malou has been fully settled.

Upon delivery of “Pyxis Lamda”, on December 20, 2021, Eleventhone drew down an amount of $21,680. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Eleventhone loan of $18,253 is repayable in 14 consecutive quarterly installments of $431.67 each, the first falling due in September 2023, and the last installment accompanied by a balloon payment of $12,210 falling due in December 2026.

The loan bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 3.15% per annum.

Standard loan covenants include, among others, a minimum liquidity and a minimum required Security Cover Ratio (“MSC”). The facility imposes certain customary covenants and restrictions with respect to, among other things, the borrower’s ability to distribute dividends, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, change its share capital, engage in mergers, or sell the vessel and a minimum collateral value to outstanding loan principal. Certain major covenants include, as defined in such agreements:

Covenants:

	●	The borrower undertook to maintain minimum deposit with the bank of $750 at all times, (which shall be reduced to the amount of $500, upon receipt of time charter employment for a period of at least six months).
	●	The ratio of the corporate guarantor’s total liabilities (exclusive of the Promissory Note) to market adjusted total assets is not to exceed 75%. This requirement is only applicable in order to assess whether the borrowers are entitled to distribute dividends to Pyxis. As of June 30, 2023, the requirement was met as such ratio was 34.4%, or 40.6% lower than the required threshold.
	●	MSC is to be at least 125% of the respective outstanding loan balance.
	●	No change of control shall be made directly or indirectly in the ownership, beneficial ownership, control or management of any of the borrower and the corporate guarantor or any share therein or the vessels, as a result of which less than 100% of the shares and voting rights in each borrower are owned by the corporate guarantor or less than 25% of the shares and voting rights in the corporate guarantor will remain in the ultimate legal and beneficial ownership of the beneficial shareholders.
