OceanPal Inc. Discloses Share Repurchases Under Existing Board-Authorized Program; Establishes 0.8x mNAV as a Target Repurchase ThresholdApril 9, 2026 4:15 PM
PR Newswire (US)
Company has repurchased a total of 345,168 shares prior to the reverse split under its previously announced $10 million program, with $7.3 million remaining in authorized capacity; Company targets buybacks under 0.8x mNAV when shares are undervaluedATHENS, Greece, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OceanPal Inc. (the "Company" or "OceanPal", NASDAQ: SVRN), today announced that it has repurchased a total of 345,168 shares of OceanPal common stock (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) from the initiation of its previously authorized share buyback program through March 27th, 2026. The Company also announced that it will target a 0.8x multiple of net asset value ("mNAV") as a target repurchase threshold for future share repurchases, below which the Company will treat repurchases of its common stock as a primary capital allocation priority. As of the date of this press release, the Company has deployed $2.7 million under the program, with $7.3 million in authorized capacity remaining.The repurchases were executed under the $10 million share repurchase program the Board authorized and announced on December 1, 2025. At the time of those purchases, OceanPal's shares were trading at a discount that the Company's management assessed as materially disconnected from the market value of its NEAR holdings. Management made the decision to deploy capital because the market was, in its view, mispricing the stock relative to the underlying business and balance sheet.The 0.8x mNAV threshold announced today formalizes that logic as a standing target. When OceanPal's market capitalization falls below 0.8 times the market value of its NEAR treasury holdings, the Board and management expect share repurchases to constitute the most efficient capital action available to the Company—equivalent, in economic terms, to acquiring NEAR at a discount to its market price. The policy does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and repurchases will be executed at management's sole discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The $7.3 million in remaining authorized capacity under the existing program will be the primary vehicle for executing repurchases under this policy.As of market close April 8, 2026, OceanPal's common stock has appreciated 50+% since the reverse stock split took effect on March 30, 2026, which management believes reflects the underlying strength of the Company's NEAR treasury position and growth trajectory, and occurred without any additional share repurchase activity following the split. As of that time, OceanPal traded at a 0.9x mNAV, holding more than 55 million NEAR tokens (including collateral pledged to counterparties), representing approximately $73.5 million in treasury value at a NEAR price of $1.34 and approximately 4.3% of the total NEAR token supply."The market priced our shares at a significant discount to the value of our NEAR treasury in the days before the reverse split, so we acted on it. The repurchases were a straightforward application of the same capital discipline we intend to maintain going forward," said Sal Ternullo, Co-CEO of OceanPal, and CEO of its subsidiary SVRN. "We've established 0.8x mNAV as the target. Below that threshold, we are buyers. It reflects our conviction in the quality of our treasury, the strength of NEAR Protocol, and the direction our business is heading."OceanPal's NEAR treasury currently generates approximately 5% gross annualized yield through institutional staking and options. This yield compounds the Company's NEAR holdings independent of price appreciation, and, along with the Company's shipping segment, which is projected to be EBITDA-positive in 2026, provides an operational foundation that management believes is not yet reflected in the Company's market valuation. The appreciation in OceanPal's common stock since the reverse split is, in management's view, an early indication that the market is beginning to close this gap.About SVRNSVRN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of OceanPal, fuels the growth of AI infrastructure that enables agents to act autonomously and securely.

2 Time charter equivalent rates, or TCE rates, are defined as time charter and voyage revenues, less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel) expenses, canal charges and commissions. TCE is a non-GAAP measure. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., voyage (spot) charters or time charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods, and assist Company's management to assess its fleet's financial and operational performance.
3 Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.
4 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, unrealized gains and losses on digital assets and derivatives, impairment charges, promote fees, and other non-cash or non-recurring items. See reconciliation in financial tables.
5 Assumes NEAR token price of $1.30 (approximate current spot price based on Coinbase NEAR/USD).
6 Assumes NEAR token price of $2.73 (approximate 2025 average price based on Coinbase NEAR/USD).
7 Assumes NEAR token price of $6.23 (approximate 2025 52-week high based on Coinbase NEAR/USD).
8 Vessel revenue assuming no changes in the Company's current fleet (M/V Calipso, M/V Melia, and M/V Zeze Start).
9 Shipping operating costs include vessel OPEX (Daily OPEX budgeted at an average rate of approximately $6,400 vessel per day. No drydockings are scheduled in 2026), voyage expenses/commissions (~$1.0 million), management fees (~$3.1 million), and maritime G&A (~$0.8 million). Excludes depreciation.
10 Staking revenue assumes a target annualized yield of 5.0% on approximately 51.3 million NEAR tokens staked, generating approximately 2.75 million NEAR tokens per year in staking rewards, valued at the applicable NEAR token price assumption for each scenario.
11 SovereignAI Services LLC operating expenses projected at a target average monthly burn rate of $258 thousand ($3.1M annualized), encompassing compensation, custody and staking fees, technology infrastructure, and general administrative costs for the subsidiary.
12 Corporate G&A represents parent-level general and administrative expenses, which include stock exchange listing and related fees, audit fees, legal fees and board compensation. All other corporate overhead is allocated to the respective operating segments.Management Commentary"2025 was the most consequential year in our Company's history," said Sal Ternullo, Co-CEO. "We executed a strategic transformation that fundamentally repositioned the business from a pure-play shipping company into a diversified operating platform with two distinct, complementary revenue engines. The formation of SovereignAI Services LLC together with the completion of our PIPE transaction in the fourth quarter, marked our emergence as the first publicly traded company with exposure to NEAR Protocol, with holdings of approximately 51.3 million NEAR tokens held on balance sheet (in addition to 2.85 million NEAR tokens reported as collateral receivable for derivatives positions) alongside our maritime fleet. Our reported net loss of $65.2 million reflects non-cash, unrealized fair value adjustments on our digital asset holdings and one-time transaction costs and legal fees associated with the PIPE financing, rather than a deterioration in our core operations. Across both business segments, the underlying business generated meaningful operational progress"."We streamlined our fleet from five vessels to three, divesting one older Capesize vessel and one Panamax vessel, reducing the average age of our fleet while eliminating near-term drydocking obligations", said Robert Perri, Co-CEO. "The remaining three-vessel fleet—two Panamax drybulk carriers and one MR2 product tanker—are well positioned to take advantage of the current disruptions in the shipping market"."Our strategy for growing enterprise value is clear: to compound long-term value through NEAR token accumulation and staking yield, while sustaining a stable, cash-generative maritime operation. With total stockholders' equity of $156.6 million, we believe our balance sheet reflects a material disconnect relative to our current market capitalization — one that we do not believe the market has fully recognized. We are firmly committed to closing that gap through disciplined execution and transparent, ongoing communication with our shareholders", Mr. Ternullo continued.Recent DevelopmentsOn October 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Clear Street LLC ("Clear Street") and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company ("Cohen & Co.) (each, an "Agent," and, together, the "Agents"), as co-sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company's common shares, from time to time having an aggregate sales price of up to $20,127,131 (the "ATM Program"). During the fourth quarter of 2025, no sales were made under the Sales Agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,216,819 shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $2,166,058.22. As of March 26, 2026, approximately $17.9 million remains available for sale under the ATM Program.On December 1, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share buy-back program (the "Share Buy-Back Program"), with Clear Street LLC ("Clear Street") acting as Agent, for up to $10 million of SVRN's outstanding common shares. During the fourth quarter of 2025, a total of 316,717 shares were repurchased and in the first quarter of 2026 a total of 385,862 shares were repurchased. As of March 26, 2026, approximately $9.2 million remains available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.Strategic OverviewMaritime Operations – Fleet OptimizationDuring 2025, the Company executed a targeted fleet rationalization program, divesting two vessels: the M/V Salt Lake City, a 2005-built Capesize bulk carrier, and the M/V Protefs, a 2004-built Panamax bulk carrier sold and delivered to their new owners in the first and second quarter of 2025, respectively. Combined, these transactions generated net proceeds of approximately $22.4 million, while reducing the average age of the fleet and lowering future capital expenditure. The Company's current fleet comprises of two Panamax bulk carriers — the M/V Calipso and M/V Melia — and one MR2 product tanker, the M/V Zeze Start, providing diversified commercial exposure across the dry bulk and product tanker markets.Vessel revenues for fiscal year 2025 totaled $13.4 million, compared to $25.7 million in the prior year, reflecting the reduced fleet size following the dispositions and a mixed rate environment across the dry and tanker segments. Looking ahead to 2026, the Company projects the three-vessel fleet to generate approximately $13.0 million to $14.0 million in gross vessel revenues, with total shipping operating costs in the range of $11.5 million to $12.5 million, excluding depreciation, yielding positive shipping EBITDA of between $1.5 million and $2.5 million. Average daily vessel operating expenses are budgeted at approximately $6,400, materially below 2025 levels. Notably, no drydockings are scheduled for 2026, eliminating significant costs and off-hire exposure that weighed on the prior year's results.SovereignAI Services LLC – NEAR Protocol TreasuryIn October 2025, the Company established SovereignAI Services LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary to implement its NEAR Protocol digital asset treasury strategy. As of December 31, 2025, SovereignAI held total assets of approximately $85.5 million, including $77.5 million in digital assets at fair value, $3.7 million in collateral receivable (net of a $0.6 million allowance for credit losses), and $3.0 million in cash. During its initial two-month operating period, the subsidiary generated $0.7 million in staking reward income, demonstrating the yield-generating capacity of the NEAR treasury model.The Company's holdings of approximately 51.3 million NEAR tokens held on balance sheet (in addition to 2.85 million NEAR tokens reported as collateral receivable for derivatives positions) generate a target of 5.0% annualized yield, which translates to approximately $3.6 million in annualized revenue at current NEAR token prices, with direct upside exposure to NEAR token price appreciation. SovereignAI is expected to operate at a target burn rate of $3.1million annualized), encompassing compensation, custody fees, technology infrastructure, and general administrative costs. Under all current guidance scenarios, subsidiary revenues are projected to exceed operating costs.About the CompanyOceanPal Inc. (NASDAQ: SVRN) is a diversified operating company that combines global shipping transportation services with a digital asset treasury strategy anchored in the NEAR Protocol blockchain. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary SovereignAI Services LLC, the Company operates the first publicly traded NEAR Protocol treasury, accumulating NEAR tokens, generating yield through institutional staking, and offering investors regulated public market exposure to the NEAR ecosystem.

OceanPal Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency; Intends to Request Hearing Before Independent PanelMarch 13, 2026 5:25 PM
PR Newswire (US)
Staff Determination Issued Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) Following Prior Reverse Stock Split; Company's Hearing Request Will Automatically Stay Any Suspension or Delisting Action Pending the Panel DecisionATHENS, Greece, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OceanPal, Inc. ("OceanPal", Nasdaq: SVRN) that today disclosed that on March 13, 2026, the Company received a written determination letter (the "Staff Determination") from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that the Staff has determined to delist the Company's common shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely requests a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel (the "Panel").Key Highlights:The Staff Determination was issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) on the grounds that the Company's common shares failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days from January 29, 2026, through March 12, 2026, and that the Company is ineligible for a compliance period due to a prior one-for-twenty-five (1-for-25) reverse stock split effected on August 25, 2025.OceanPal intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), the hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action, and the Company's common shares will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "SVRN" during the hearing process.The Company's board of directors is actively evaluating all available measures to restore compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including potential capital markets transactions and other corporate actions within the board's existing shareholder-authorized authority.This disclosure is being made pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires public disclosure of the Staff Determination no later than four business days following receipt. A corresponding Form 6-K has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.The Staff Determination relates to the Company's non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires that the closing bid price of listed securities be at least $1.00 per share. Because the Company effected a one-for-twenty-five (1-for-25) reverse stock split on August 25, 2025, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) precludes the Company from receiving any compliance period that would otherwise be available under the standard deficiency framework. Instead, the Staff has issued a determination to delist the Company's common shares, subject to the Company's right to request a hearing.OceanPal intends to exercise its right under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a) to request a hearing before the Panel within the prescribed timeframe. The hearing process provides the Company an opportunity to present a comprehensive plan to restore compliance with all applicable listing standards. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), the filing of the hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the issuance of the Panel's written decision. During this period, the Company's common shares will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "SVRN.""We take our listing obligations seriously and are moving with urgency to exercise every procedural and substantive remedy available. The hearing process provides a structured forum to present the board's compliance plan, and we intend to use it. Our team—alongside experienced outside counsel—is actively preparing a comprehensive submission that addresses the bid price requirement and demonstrates the strength of the business. We expect the Company's shares to continue trading on Nasdaq throughout this process, and we will keep shareholders informed at every stage."
