Strategy High returns strategy based on countercyclical investments Newbuild orders backed by first class charters; re-chartering and re-leveraging provide strong upside. Secondhand vessels bought at attractive prices: a) Either with time charter attached minimizing residual risk; or b) Charter free opportunistically, and funded with equity; recent acquisitions return a very attractive EBITDA/ Purchase Price Yield Amortize our debt prudently, avoid refinancing risk and distribute dividends based on a healthy distributable cash flow post debt service Create shareholder value and increase the dividend consistent with our dividend policy. 6
