This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Company’s 2025 annual report are expected to be mailed on or about August 14, 2026 to the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Meeting.
VOTING RIGHTS AND OUTSTANDING SHARES
On August 3, 2026, the Company had outstanding 24,301,490 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Each stockholder of record of Common Stock at the close of business on August 13, 2026 is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock then held. The Common Stock represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, or any other form meeting the requirements of Marshall Islands law, will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy if the proxy is properly executed and is received by the Company prior to the close of voting at the Meeting. Any signed proxies returned without instructions will be voted FOR the proposals set forth on the Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of August 3, 2026, Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, Christos Konstantakopoulos and Achillefs Konstantakopoulos and their immediate family beneficially owned 7,553,288 shares, 3,810,317 shares and 5,001,143 shares, respectively, or approximately 31.1%, 15.7% and 20.6%, respectively, of our outstanding Common Stock. In the aggregate, as of August 3, 2026, they own 16,364,748 shares, or approximately 67.3% of our outstanding Common Stock.
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CMDB”.
On August 13, 2026, the Company also had outstanding 235 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 50,000 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Meeting. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together as one class with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters put before the stockholders at the Meeting. As Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos is the owner of 235 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, being all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, he is able to exercise voting rights with respect to approximately 53.5% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock. For additional information regarding the Series B Preferred Stock, please refer to the Company’s 2025 annual report on Form 20-F.
The Company’s Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are the only classes of its stock carrying full voting rights. A majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting, the holders of which are present virtually or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
A stockholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. A proxy may be revoked by filing with the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s offices at 7 rue du Gabian, MC 98000 Monaco, a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, by filing with the Company, at the above address, a written notice of revocation or by attending the Meeting and voting virtually.

Independence
The Board has determined that Ms. Eleftheriou and Mr. Grant are independent within the current meanings of independence employed by the corporate governance rules of the NYSE and the SEC.
Compensation of Directors
Our independent, non-executive directors receive annual fees in the amount of $80,000, plus reimbursement for their out-of-pocket expenses. Our non-independent directors (including our officers who serve as our directors) do not receive any compensation for their service as directors. We do not have any service contracts with our non-executive directors that provide for benefits upon termination of their services.
Compensation of Senior Management
We do not pay any compensation to our officers for their services as officers or directors. Our officers are employed and are compensated for their services by Costamare Shipping or Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. and in certain cases also from Costamare Bulkers Inc.
Board Practices
We have five members on our Board. The Board may change the number of directors to not less than three, nor more than 15, by a vote of a majority of the entire Board. Each of Mr. Zikos, Mr. Lund, Ms. Eleftheriou and Mr. Grant were elected prior to the completion of the Company’s spin-off from Costamare Inc. on May 6, 2025 (the “Spin-Off”). Mr. Sofianopoulos was appointed to serve as a director in October 2025 to fill the vacancy related to the resignation of Jens Jacobsen. Each director shall be elected to serve until the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, except (i) in the event of death, resignation or removal and (ii) for the initial terms of office of persons currently serving as Class I, Class II and Class III directors which will expire at the first, second and third annual meetings, respectively, after the Spin-Off, and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy on the Board created by death, resignation, removal (which may only be for cause), or failure of the stockholders to elect the entire class of directors to be elected at any election of directors or for any other reason, may be filled only by an affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, at any special meeting called for that purpose or at any regular meeting of the Board.
We are a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the securities laws of the United States, “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants, as well as different financial reporting requirements. Under the NYSE rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. As permitted by these exemptions, as well as by our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the laws of the Marshall Islands, we currently have a Board with a majority of non-independent directors and a combined
4

corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee with one non-independent director serving as a committee member. As a result, non-independent directors, including members of our management who also serve on our Board, may, among other things, fix the compensation of our management, make stock and option awards and resolve governance issues regarding our company. In addition, we currently have an audit committee composed solely of two independent committee members, whereas a domestic public company would be required to have three such independent members. Accordingly, in the future you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.
Committees of the Board
Audit committee
Our audit committee consists of Katerina Eleftheriou and David Grant. Ms. Eleftheriou is the chairperson of the committee. The audit committee is responsible for:
the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of independent auditors and approving any non-audit services performed by such auditors;
assisting the Board in monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, the performance of the independent accountants and our internal audit function and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

establishing procedures for the consideration of all related-party transactions, including matters involving potential conflicts of interest or potential usurpations of corporate opportunities;

handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the audit committee by the Board from time to time.
Corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee
Our corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee consists of Gregory Zikos, David Grant and Katerina Eleftheriou. Mr. Zikos is the chairman of the committee. The corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee is responsible for:
nominating candidates, consistent with criteria approved by the full Board, for the approval of the full Board to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise, as well as putting in place plans for succession, in particular, of the chairman of the Board and executive officers;
selecting, or recommending that the full Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders;

5

overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management; and
handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee by the Board from time to time.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED DIRECTOR. UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, UNINSTRUCTED PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED DIRECTOR.
6

PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Upon the recommendation of the audit committee, the Board is submitting for ratification at the Meeting the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A., as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A. has advised the audit committee that the firm does not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the Company, nor has such firm had any such interest in connection with the Company during the past three fiscal years other than in its capacity as the Company’s independent auditors.
All services rendered by the independent auditors are subject to approval by the Company’s audit committee.
Approval of Proposal Two requires the majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG (HELLAS) CERTIFIED AUDITORS ACCOUNTANTS S.A. AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2026. UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, UNINSTRUCTED PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH APPROVAL.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR ANNUAL MEETING
Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to our Secretary. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may impede stockholders’ ability to bring matters before, or to make nominations for directors at, an annual meeting of stockholders. Individuals proposed as candidates for election as director by stockholders in accordance with these procedures will receive the same consideration, which was given to individuals identified through other means to the corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee.
Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board may do so by writing to our General Counsel and Secretary, Mr. Anastassios Gabrielides, at Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited, 7 rue du Gabian, MC 98000 Monaco.
SOLICITATION
The cost of preparing and soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. Solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but stockholders may be solicited by telephone, e-mail or personal contact.
OTHER MATTERS
No other matters are expected to be presented for action at the Meeting. Should any additional matter come before the Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of Gregory Zikos and Anastassios Gabrielides, the persons named as proxy holders in the proxy.
