Exhibit 1
EuroDry Ltd. Announces Completion of its Spin-off from Euroseas Ltd. and Commencement of its Share Trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the Symbol EDRY
Maroussi, Athens, Greece May 31, 2018
EuroDry Ltd. (the Company), an owner and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk cargoes, announced today that it has completed its spin-off from Euroseas Ltd. The Companys shares will commence trading as of today, May 31, 2018, on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol EDRY.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented:
We are extremely excited with the spin-off of our drybulk fleet into a separate publicly listed company, EuroDry Ltd., focused on the Ultramax to Kamsarmax sector, with a fleet with average age of about 9 years. We expect that our clear sector strategy and growth plans will enable EuroDry to trade close to its net asset value like its public peers, which we believe it to be in the range of $16-18 per share.
