- New Guarantors: The two subsidiaries agreed to be bound as subsidiary guarantors under the RCF.

The filing does not provide financial guidance, management commentary on future outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the operational context of the credit agreement. The primary contingency noted is the requirement to maintain collateral coverage for the RCF following the sale of a previous vessel.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the Joinder Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) regarding the obligations of the new subsidiary guarantors.
- Confirm the identity and valuation of the two MR tankers pledged as substitution collateral.
- Review the prior announcement regarding the sale of the vessel being replaced to understand the timing and financial impact of that transaction.
- Check the status of the $500 Million RCF to ensure no other amendments or defaults have occurred since the April 26, 2024, amendment.
