On August 30, 2024, Ardmore Shipping Corporation (“Ardmore” or the “Company”) completed its annual review of its securities filings. As a part of this process, the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (a) a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) registering $500 million of primary securities, which will replace the Company’s existing shelf registration statement filed in August 2021 (File Number: 333-258974), and (b) a prospectus supplement for an at-the-market (“ATM”) program and has entered into an open market sale agreement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell common shares of up to an aggregate sales amount of $50 million. The ATM program will supplement the Company’s existing ATM program.

Any shares offered and sold by the Company under the Registration Statement and the ATM program will be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and, in addition with respect to the ATM program, the sales agreement prospectus supplement that forms a part of such Registration Statement, following such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.
