Secured Credit Facilities: Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility In December 2022, the Company early extinguished the remaining $437.75 million outstanding under the then existing Citibank/NatWest $815.0 million facility and replaced it with a $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility with Citibank (the “Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility”) and with Alpha Bank $55.25 mil. Facility (as defined below). As of June 30, 2026, no amounts were drawn down under Citibank $382.5 mil. Revolving Credit Facility. The Citibank $382.5 million Revolving Credit Facility is a reducing facility and is repayable over five years through 20 quarterly commitment reductions of $11.25 million each, followed by a final reduction of $157.5 million at maturity in December 2027. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at SOFR plus a margin. The facility is secured by twelve of the Company’s vessels. Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility In February 2025, the Company entered into a syndicated loan facility agreement for a maximum principal amount of up to $850.0 million (the “Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility”), to finance a portion of the purchase price of 14 newbuilding container vessels. The facility is expected to be drawn upon delivery of each vessel in separate tranches. Each vessel tranche is repayable in 20 equal quarterly instalments of approximately $0.8 million per tranche followed by a final payment on the fifth anniversary of each vessel’s tranche of between $42.4 million and $46.7 million per tranche up to December 2033. The facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin. As of June 30, 2026, no amounts were drawn down under Syndicated $850.0 mil. Facility. JOLCO Facilities In October 2025 and December 2025, the Company entered into Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option arrangements (the “JOLCO Facilities”) to finance the container vessels Phoebe and Greenhouse, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into additional JOLCO Facilities to finance the operating container vessels Interasia Accelerate, Interasia Amplify, Catherine C, Greenland, Greenville and Greenfield. Although legal title to the operating vessels was transferred to the respective lessors as part of these arrangements, the transactions did not qualify as sales under the sale-leaseback guidance in ASC 842 (which incorporates the sale criteria in ASC 606) and are therefore accounted for as failed sale-leaseback transactions and financing arrangements in accordance with ASC 470. Accordingly, the vessels continue to be recognized within “Fixed assets, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over their remaining useful lives, and the proceeds received are recognized as financing liabilities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into three additional JOLCO facilities to finance the vessels under construction on their delivery, with Hull Nos. CV5900-09, C7100-9 and C7100-10. Each facility provides funding ranging from $68.0 million to $103.5 million, has an approximate term of eight years and includes call options that allow the Company to repurchase the respective vessels at specified dates during the term of the arrangements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had drawn $738.0 million in aggregate proceeds under these arrangements, which were recognized as financing liabilities, while the remaining $236.0 million commitment relates to the Hull Nos. CV5900-09, C7100-9 and C7100-10, which are expected to be drawn in 2027. The undrawn commitments are subject to customary conditions precedent to drawdown under the respective agreements.
