Reverse Share Split

Effective as of the open of business on July 1, 2020, Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (the “Company”) effected a one-for-five reverse share split of its authorized common shares, the par value of which was correspondingly adjusted from $1.00 per common share to $5.00 per common share. The reverse share split was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 28, 2020. The reverse share split affected all common shares, and reduced the number of authorized common shares from 175 million to 35 million and the number of outstanding common shares of the Company from 94,005,410 to 18,801,108. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common shares received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share.

The other terms of the Company’s common shares were not affected by the reverse share split. The Company’s post-reverse split common shares have a new CUSIP number, G9108L 173, and continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TNP”.

The Company’s Bye-Laws have been annotated to reflect the reverse share split of the Company’s authorized common shares. A copy of the annotated Bye-Laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.

A copy of the new form of certificate for the Company’s post-reverse share split common shares is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
