Imperial Petroleum Inc. (“Imperial”) was formed by StealthGas Inc (the “former Parent Company”) on May 14, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Initial share capital of Imperial consisted of 33 common shares. StealthGas Inc. separated its crude and product tankers by transferring to Imperial its interest in 4 subsidiaries, Clean Power Inc., MR Roi Inc., King of Hearts Inc. and Tankpunk Inc. (the “Subsidiaries”), each owning one tanker. The transfer was completed on November 10, 2021 in exchange for 318,318 newly issued common shares and 795,878 Series A 8.75% Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) in Imperial. On December 3, 2021, StealthGas Inc. distributed the 318,351 common shares and 795,878 8.75% Series A Preferred Shares (with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share) in Imperial to holders of StealthGas Inc.’s common stock on a pro rata basis (the “2021 Spin-Off”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Imperial and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the Subsidiaries from their dates of incorporation until their dates of disposal, if any. On June 21, 2023, the Company completed the spin-off transaction (the “Spin-off”) of its wholly-owned subsidiary C3is Inc. (“C3is”), which was formed by the Company in July 2022. Prior to the Spin-off, Imperial received all issued and outstanding common shares and all 600,000 5.00% Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares of C3is (Note 3) in exchange for the contribution to C3is of the entities owning Imperial’s two Handysize drybulk carriers, “Eco Bushfire” and “Eco Angelbay” together with $5,000,000 in cash as working capital. Imperial, as the sole shareholder of C3is, distributed the common shares it held in C3is to the Company’s stockholders and warrant holders in accordance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding warrants on a pro rata basis on June 21, 2023. Common shares of C3is commenced trading on June 21, 2023 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “CISS”. Imperial Inc. continues to operate in the tanker and dry bulk shipping market and remains a publicly traded company. The assets and liabilities of C3is on June 21, 2023, were as follows:
At December 31, 2025, the Company’s fleet was comprised of 19 vessels consisting of 7 medium range (M.R.) type Product tankers, 2 Suezmax crude oil tankers, 3 Handysize drybulk carriers, 5 Supramax drybulk carriers and 2 Kamsarmax drybulk carriers providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium or short-term charters. The Company’s vessels are managed by Stealth Maritime Corporation S.A. (the “Manager”), a company controlled by members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Manager, a related party, was incorporated in Liberia and registered in Greece on May 17, 1999 under the provisions of law 89/1967, 378/1968 and article 25 of law 27/75 as amended by article 4 of law 2234/94. (Note 3). At December 31, 2025, the Company held 100% interest in the below companies.
Effective as of the opening of trading on April 28, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of its shares of common stock. The reverse stock split affected all outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. Furthermore, in connection with the reverse stock split, the exercise price of the Company’s outstanding warrants at that date increased and the number of shares issuable upon their exercise decreased in accordance with their terms. In addition, the conversion price of the Company’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares was proportionately adjusted in accordance with their terms (Note 9). The par value and other terms of the Company’s shares of common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. During 2023, 2024 and 2025 one, two and two charterers, respectively, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.
