Equity Investments
! Equity Investments bear full market exposure, both upside potential and downside risk ! Depending on business model, timing is crucial ! Traditionally, independent shipowners had been providing ‘sweat equity’ (to be levered with debt
provided by shipping banks)
! Independent shipowners cannot always commit required equity
! Institutional Investors playing a great part in shipping ! Institutional Investors can have a more aggressive scenario due to their own unique investment parameters ! Can co-invest or sponsor management teams and companies ! Investment horizon of 5 – 7 years, usually ! According to Financial Times (December 8th, 2013), US-based PE funds command $789 BILLION unspent investor
pledges (‘dry powder’), PE funds globally command in excess of $1 TRILLION dry powder (for comparison: German GDP (2012) ≈$3.5 Billion, Greek GDP (2012): ≈$250 billion); tremendous liquidity does not translate to ‘free money’
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: ! Institutional Equity Investors getting ‘deal fatigue’ ! Look for value-added opportunities as serious-with-shipping investors have already invested in
‘plain vanilla’ shipping projects

Debt Financing
! Banks have to live with with more intense regulation (Basel III, etc) ! Shipping not the most attractive industry for lenders, especially traditional ship
mortgages ! Brand-new landscape that likely will remain for the foreseeable future
! Challenging environment, especially for traditional shipowners ! Traditional shipowners will have to adapt to new reality ! Operate larger fleets more efficiently ! Consolidated financial statements and documentation ! Corporate lending ! Focus on public markets / bonds
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
! No news really in the traditional shipping lending markets ! Low interest rates make issuing of bonds attractive, but not all can qualify ! Low expectations for positive drastic developments in near future ! Independent, traditional shipowners will have to ‘think outside the box’

Alternative Financing ! More flexibility in structuring than ‘pure equity’ investments ! Suitable for ‘legacy transactions’ (restructurings) but also for financing new projects ! There are many more Institutional Investors for Alternative Financing rather than pure
equity investments ! Typical transactions:
! Sale & Leaseback transactions to monetize on existing assets ! Provide new loans with junior position but upside potential (convertible) ! Provide new financing with lower security than a bank’s loan (ship mortgage) but with minimum return
(preferred) ! Restructurings of existing shipping loans, access working capital to run vessels, acquisition of new assets
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: ! Funds providing Alternative Finance have been more active than usual ! Likely to be meaningful source of capital for shipping until shipping finance markets
normalize ! Low interest rate environment allows such funds to be more aggressive and flexible on
their structuring KARATZAS MARINE ADVISORS & Co. October 2014 Page 16

Parting Thoughts ! Changing seascape in the shipping industry forces a new reality ! Shipowners will have to have critical mass and ‘proper’ corporate structures ! Status quo of traditional debt financing will remain elusive ! Shipowners will have to be experts in obtaining financing in this capital-intense industry when financing
conditions are getting tighter
! More flexibility will be required from shipowners as partnerships, join-ventures and participations may be the new ways of growing the business
THE GOOD NEWS: ! The Shipping Industry is never going to be phased-out or become obsolete, even in our technology
dominated world; just the opposite!
AND, THE GREAT NEWS: ! There are still institutional investors looking to invest in shipping! They are a
diverse group and they are looking for diverse opportunities both for existing vessels / projects but also to finance growing business!
