CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 20-F contains certain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all statements in this annual report concerning or relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenses, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates, future financial results and liquidity are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time may make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments.

The forward-looking statements in this annual report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records, and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs, or projections. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.

Many of these statements are based on our assumptions about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described more fully in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.” Any of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future operating results and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. In addition to these important factors, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include among other things:

•changes in general dry bulk market conditions, including fluctuations in charter hire rates, vessel values, vessel supply, demand for vessels, and supply of or demand for dry bulk commodities, including dry bulk commodities carried by sea, generally or in particular regions;
•changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns;
•delays or defaults by shipyards in the construction of newbuildings in the dry bulk industry, defaults in constructions, or delays, cancelations, or non-completion of deliveries of any vessels we may agree to acquire;
•changes in the useful lives and/or the value of our vessels and the related impact on our compliance with the covenants under our financing arrangements;
•the aging of our fleet and increases in operating costs;
•changes in our ability to complete future, pending, or recent acquisitions or dispositions;
•our ability to achieve successful utilization of our fleet;
•changes to our financial condition and liquidity, including our ability to pay amounts that we owe and obtain additional financing to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate activities;
•risks related to our business strategy, areas of possible expansion, or expected capital spending or operating expenses;
•changes in our ability to leverage the relationships and reputation in the dry bulk shipping industry of Pavimar Shipping Co., the commercial and technical manager of our vessels;
•changes in the availability of crew, number of off-hire days, classification survey requirements, and insurance costs for the vessels in our fleet;
•changes in our relationships with our counterparties, including the failure of any of our counterparties to fulfill their obligations;
•loss of our customers, charters, or vessels;
•damage to our vessels;
•potential liability from future incidents involving our vessels and litigation;
•our future operating or financial results;
•changes in and the effects of interest or inflation rates and worldwide inflationary pressures;
•acts of terrorism, war, piracy, and other hostilities;
•public health threats, pandemics, epidemics, other disease outbreaks, and governmental responses thereto;
•changes in global and regional economic and political conditions, including the provision or removal of economic stimulus measures meant to counteract the effects of sudden market disruptions due to financial, economic, or health crises;
•changes in tariffs or other restrictions imposed on foreign imports by the U.S. and related countermeasures taken by impacted foreign countries;
•general domestic and international political conditions or events, including trade wars, acts of hostility or potential, threatened, or ongoing war;
•inherent operational risks, natural disasters, weather damage, seasonal fluctuations, and inspection procedures of the dry bulk industry;
•changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, particularly with respect to the dry bulk shipping industry;
•our ability to continue as a going concern; and
•other factors discussed in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” and other important factors described from time to time in the reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”).

Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects, on us. Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable laws. If one or more forward-looking statements are updated, no inference should be drawn that additional updates will be made with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

PART I

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this annual report, the terms “Company,” “Icon,” “Icon Energy,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Icon Energy Corp. and any or all of its subsidiaries, and “Icon Energy Corp.” refers only to Icon Energy Corp. and not to its subsidiaries. References to “Pavimar” are to Pavimar Shipping Co., a related party that provides us with certain services andperforms the day-to-day management of our fleet. On June 11, 2024, we acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Maui Shipping Co. (“Maui”), the entity that wholly owns Positano Marine Inc. (“Positano”), which in turn owns one Panamax dry bulk vessel, named the M/V “Alfa,” in exchange for 15,000 of our 9.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), 1,500,000 of our Series B Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), and 5,000 of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”). The acquisition of M/V Alfa was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. All references in this annual report to us when used in a historical context prior to June 11, 2024, refer to our predecessor companies, Maui and Positano.

We use the term “deadweight tons,” or “dwt,” in describing the size of vessels. Dwt, expressed in metric tons, each of which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, refers to the maximum weight of cargo and supplies that a vessel can carry. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “U.S. dollars,” “dollars,” “U.S. $” and “$” in this annual report are to the lawful currency of the United States of America.

All share and per share amounts disclosed in this annual report give retroactive effect, for all periods presented, to the one-for-forty reverse stock split of our Common Shares effected on April 1, 2025.
