 This document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact, including with respect to market trends, potential charter rates, revenue, EBITDA and cash flows, dividends or share repurchases, and shareholder returnsd. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate“, "believe“, "continue“, "could“, "estimate“, "expect“, "intend“, "may“, "might“, "plan“, "possible“, "potential“, "predict“, "project“, "should“, "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are based upon various  assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management 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. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the Company’s operating or financial results; the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to service its indebtedness; competitive factors in the market in which the Company operates; shipping industry trends, including charter rates, vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand; future, pending or recent acquisitions and dispositions, business strategy, impacts of litigation, areas of possible expansion or contraction, and expected capital spending or operating expenses; risks associated with operations outside the United States; broader market impacts arising from trade disputes or war (or threatened war) or international hostilities, such as between Israel and Hamas or Iran and between Russia and Ukraine; risks associated with the length and severity of pandemics (including COVID-19), including their effects on demand for dry bulk products and the transportation thereof; and other factors listed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC, including its most recent annual report on Form 20-F. These factors could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of the forward- looking statements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated in this document will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.  Certain financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations.

We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the differences can be material. This presentation includes certain estimated financial information and forecasts that are not derived in accordance with GAAP.

During 3Q24, the board of directors established a revised dividend policy where the company will distribute about 50% of its operating cash flow after adjustments to debt repayments and a quarterly reserve which would be allocated to share repurchases, opportunistic vessel acquisitions, and an established liquidity buffer.  On a trailing twelve-month basis, SHIP shares yielded almost 5% but based on the new payout formula, we would expect SHIP shares to  generate a higher dividend yield”  B. Riley, 9/18/24  Buy: Price Target = $14.00  “With signs of a seasonally stronger Q4, SHIP should continue their strong YTD performance… Further, with 9 out of 10 vessels scrubber fitted, SHIP should see additional tailwinds from fuel spreads having increased over the past weeks. On the back of stronger earnings and higher asset values we lift our [Target Price] to $14/share”  Fearnley, 9/16/24  Buy: Price Target = $13.00  “Given the company's positioning as a pure play dry bulk company, the fundamental opportunity within the dry bulk market is favorable over the intermediate-to-long term horizon due to growing dry bulk demand and a low-order book. A fleet that is focused on the Cape market and contracts that are indexed creates high operating leverage to an eventual durable recovery in the dry bulk market. Similarly, recent refinancings have smoothed out the debt amortization and maturity schedules…. significant debt restructuring and refinancing has created a more stable financial position. Management has also established a solid track record of capturing attractive growth opportunities, including several acquisitions since November 2018”  Noble, 8/8/24  Buy: Price Target = $15.00  “Higher economic growth should lead to ongoing demand for dry bulk imports. Higher coal, grain, and iron ore seaborne volumes so far this year contributed to higher dry bulk rates. Higher economic growth leads to higher demand for dry bulk cargoes, in our view. Meanwhile, shipping supply growth, particularly Capesize dry bulk ships remain limited in part due to very low vessel ordering during previous years”  Maxim, 8/7/24

 30  Source: Company filings and presentations  Definitions  Adjusted EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of net income / (loss), net interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and, if any, income taxes during a period. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, gain on forward freight agreements, net, gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on debt refinancing, non-recurring gains on sale of vessel and gain on spin-off, which the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented as we believe that these measures are useful to investors as a widely used means of evaluating operating profitability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  TCE Rate (Daily Time Charter Equivalent): TCE rate is defined as the Company’s net revenue less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of the Company’s operating days during the period. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal charges and other commissions. The Company includes the TCE rate, a non-GAAP measure, as it believes it provides additional meaningful  information in conjunction with net revenues from vessels, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and because it assists the Company’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and because the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial performance. The Company’s calculation of TCE rate may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following table reconciles the Company’s net revenues from vessels to the TCE rate.
