CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K
On
November 29, 2016, Box Ships Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Credit Suisse AG for the full and
final satisfaction of all amounts outstanding under a US$31,650,000 facility, of which approximately US$25,961,144 was currently
outstanding, in exchange for the net sale proceeds of the mortgaged vessels, namely "BOX KINGFISH" and "BOX MARLIN"
(the “Vessels”). The Vessels have been sold to unaffiliated third parties under separate Memoranda of Agreement and
have been delivered to their buyers.
The
Vessels were the last of the Company’s owned fleet. The Company recently entered into commercial services agreements to
provide commercial management services to two bulk carrier vessels, which are owned by entities affiliated with the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer.
