Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, expectations, projections, strategies, beliefs about future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “plan”, “potential”, “should”, “may”, “will”, “expect” and similar expressions are among those that identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this report include, among others, statements regarding: future operating results; the outcome of the Company’s strategies; fleet expansion and vessel and business acquisitions, and the timing thereof: future drydocking days, drydocking expenses and anticipated installations of scrubbers; sufficiency of liquidity and capital resources; anticipated funds and sources of financing for liquidity needs; the Company’s expectations regarding covenants in financing arrangements; the Company’s expectations regarding foreign exchange risk and credit risks; the Company’s expectations regarding the risk and potential effects of inflation; the potential effects of tariffs and other foreign policy activities on global markets, the shipping industry and the Company’s operations; the potential effect of geopolitical conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict and attacks against merchant vessels in the Red Sea area on the shipping industry and the Company; and the timing and payment of quarterly dividends by the Company. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, including, among others, the Company’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes 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 the Company’s control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company cautions readers of this report not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Company’s future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: the strength of world economies and currencies; general market conditions, including fluctuations in spot and charter rates and vessel values; changes in demand for and the supply of tanker vessel capacity; changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs; changes in the projections of spot and time charter or pool trading of the Company’s vessels; geopolitical conflicts, including future developments relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict (including related sanctions and import bans) or the Israel-Hamas war; fluctuations in oil prices; the market for the Company’s vessels; competition in the tanker industry; availability and completion of financing and refinancing; the Company’s operating results and capital requirements and the declaration of any future dividends by the Company’s board of directors; charter counterparty performance; any unanticipated delays or complications with scheduled drydockings, anticipated installations of scrubbers or anticipated delivery dates of vessels to be purchased by the Company; ability to comply with covenants in the Company’s financing arrangements; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities; the Company’s ability to charter vessels for remaining revenue days during the third quarter of 2025 in the spot market; new or revised accounting pronouncements; general domestic and international political conditions; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, piracy or other events; vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hire; and other factors. Please see the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
