are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in
turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our
management’s examination of historical operating trends, data
contained in our records and other data available from third

when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or
impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure
you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs
or projections. We undertake no obligation to update any

including the market for our vessels, changes in our operating
expenses, including bunker prices, dry docking and insurance costs,
changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by
regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future
litigation, general domestic and international political
conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to
accidents or political events, the length and severity of the
COVID-19 outbreak, the impact of public health threats and
outbreaks of other highly communicable diseases, the impact of the
expected discontinuance of LIBOR after 2021 on interest rates of
our debt that reference LIBOR, the availability of financing and
refinancing and grow our business, vessel breakdowns and instances
of off‐hire, potential exposure or loss from investment in
derivative instruments, potential conflicts of interest involving

transactions as planned. Please see our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and
other risks and uncertainties. The information set forth herein
