CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 6-K, and the documents to which
the Company refers in this Form 6-K, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made
by the Company, contain “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations
and business and our expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “projects,”
“likely,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “forecasts,”
“potential,” “continue,” “possible” and similar expressions or phrases may identify forward-looking
statements.
All forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the expected results, depend on many events, some or
all of which are not predictable or within our control. Actual results may differ materially from expected results.
In addition, important factors that, in our
view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include:
•
general dry bulk shipping market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values;
•
the strength of world economies;
•
the stability of Europe and the Euro;
•
fluctuations in currencies, interest rates and foreign exchange rates;
•
business disruptions due to natural and other disasters or otherwise, such as the impact of any future epidemics;
•
the length and severity of epidemics and pandemics and their impact on the demand for seaborne transportation in the dry bulk sector;
•
changes in supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry, including the market for our vessels and the number of new buildings under construction;
•
the potential for technological innovation in the sector in which we operate and any corresponding reduction in the value of our vessels or the charter income derived therefrom;
•
changes in our expenses, including bunker prices, dry docking, crewing and insurance costs;
•
changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities;
•
the impact of current and potential additional trade tariffs on global trade and demand for dry bulk shipping;
•
the risk that trade disputes between U.S. and Chinese officials could result in the reimplementation of significant port fees that may impact our fleet;
•
potential liability from pending or future litigation and potential costs due to environmental damage and vessel collisions;
•
the impact of increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders, charterers and other market participants with respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices;
•
our ability to carry out our ESG initiatives and thereby meet our ESG goals and targets;
•
new environmental regulations and restrictions, whether at a global level stipulated by the International Maritime Organization, and/or regional/national imposed by regional authorities such as the European Union or individual countries;
•
potential cyber-attacks which may disrupt our business operations;
•
general domestic and international political conditions or events, including, among others, “trade wars,” the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran and the attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden;
•
the impact on our common shares and reputation if our vessels were to call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments;
•
our ability to successfully compete for, enter into and deliver our vessels under time charters or other employment arrangements for our existing vessels after our current charters expire and our ability to earn income in the spot market;
•
potential physical disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, climate-related reasons (acute and chronic), political events, public health threats, international hostilities and armed conflicts, piracy or acts by terrorists;
•
the availability of financing and refinancing;
•
the failure of our contract counterparties to meet their obligations;
•
our ability to meet requirements for additional capital and financing to complete our newbuilding program and grow our business;
•
the impact of our indebtedness and the compliance with the covenants included in our debt agreements;
•
vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hire;
•
potential exposure or loss from investment in derivative instruments;
•
potential conflicts of interest involving our Chief Executive Officer, his family and other members of our senior management;
•
our ability to complete acquisition transactions or secondhand vessel purchases as and when planned and upon the expected terms;
•
the impact of port or canal congestion or disruptions; and
•
the risk factors and other factors referred to in the Company’s reports filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements
we make in this document are qualified by the information contained or referred to herein, including, but not limited to, (i) the information
contained under this heading and (ii) the information disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026.
You should carefully consider the cautionary
statements contained or referred to in this section in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that
may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any of
these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in the Company’s views or expectations
or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict
all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
