(“Pavimar”), a ship management company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, with a branch office in Greece established under the provisions of Greek Law 27 of 1975. Pavimar is controlled by the Company’s Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer. The management agreement with Pavimar became effective on January 18, 2024, and under its terms, Pavimar provided the Company with vessel commercial and technical management services including, but not limited to, securing employment, post-fixture support, handling vessel sale and purchases, arranging and supervising crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, provisions, bunkering, day to day vessel operations, and ancillary services. With effect from April 1, 2026, the services provided by Pavimar to the Company were consolidated under a new agreement (see “Pavimar Shipping Co. (Master management agreement)” below) and all prior management agreements were terminated with all termination fees and other amounts otherwise payable in connection with such terminations being waived. See Pavimar Shipping Co. (Master management agreement) below.


Pavimar Shipping Co. (Services agreement). Pursuant to the services agreement dated October 1, 2023, as amended and restated on April 1, 2024, Pavimar provides the Company with the services of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Under that agreement, Pavimar is also eligible to receive incentive compensation from the Company in connection with the services rendered at such times, amounts, and forms as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. No incentive compensation has been approved since October 1, 2023. On April 1, 2026, the independent Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved, and the Company paid, incentive compensation in the amount of $200, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of loss. With effect from April 1, 2026, the services provided by Pavimar to the Company were consolidated under a new agreement (see “Pavimar Shipping Co. (Master management agreement)” below) and all prior management agreements were terminated with all termination fees and other amounts otherwise payable in connection with such terminations being waived.



Pavimar Shipping Co. (Master management agreement). Effective from April 1, 2026, the Company and Pavimar entered into a new agreement (the “Master Management Agreement”) to supersede and expand upon the existing arrangements between the parties. All prior services and management agreements were terminated with all termination fees and other amounts otherwise payable in connection with such terminations being waived. Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement and under the Company’s direction, Pavimar provides the Company with a range of corporate management and administration services (the “Corporate Services”), including, but not limited to, accounting, representation, tax administration, clerical and secretarial support, corporate officer services (including the services of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary), third party professional services coordination, investment administration, financial advisory and treasury services. In exchange for the Corporate Services, unless otherwise agreed on a case by case basis, Pavimar charges a quarterly fee of $25 per vessel plus $125 for the group as a whole, a 1.00% capital raising commission on all gross capital raised by the Company in capital and debt markets, an annual investment administration fee equal to 1.00% of the net asset value of the Company’s passive investments, and a contingent fee equal to 15% of realized net profits, if any, from the Company’s passive investments. In addition, Pavimar provides the Company with vessel commercial and technical management services (the “Ship Management Services”), including, but not limited to, securing employment, post-fixture support, handling vessel sale and purchases, arranging and supervising crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, provisions, bunkering, day to day vessel operations, and ancillary services. In exchange for the Ship Management Services, unless otherwise agreed on a case by case basis, Pavimar charges a daily management fee of $0.8 per vessel, a performance incentive of 1.25% on all gross income arising out of or in connection with the use or operations of the Company’s vessels, and a commission of 1.00% on the gross sale or purchase price on each vessel sale or purchase transaction. The Master Management Agreement also provides for annual inflation adjustments to fixed fees, reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, extraordinary fees for incremental services that may be requested by the Company, and allows for incentive compensation at such times, amounts, and forms as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Master Management Agreement has a term of eight years, renewing annually, and provides for payment of a termination fee equal to the fixed fees that would otherwise be payable over the remaining term of the Master Management Agreement.
