Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release 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, strategies, 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

“anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,”
“potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect,” “pending” and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press
release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation, Company management’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 that 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.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual

and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations
in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for dry bulk
shipping capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses,
including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market
for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and
refinancing, changes in governmental rules and regulations or
actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from
pending or future litigation, general domestic and international
political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due
to accidents or political events, vessel breakdowns and instances
of off-hires and other factors. Please see the Company’s filings
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more
complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. The
Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any
forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking

or otherwise.
