TUFTON OCEANIC ASSETS LIMITED

("Tufton Oceanic Assets" or the "Company")

Result of Annual General Meeting

Tufton Oceanic Assets announces the results of its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held at 11.00 a.m. today. Resolutions 1-11 inclusive were duly passed by way of a poll.

Resolution 12, in respect of the renewal of Director's authority to issue shares, was not passed. With Resolution 11 being duly passed by way of a poll, this will allow the Directors, at their discretion, to allot and issue shares in the Company up to a total representing 10 per cent. of its Ordinary Shares in issue. However, with Resolution 12 not passed, this will not allow the Company authority to issue a further 10 per cent. of Ordinary Shares.

Although resolutions 2 and 9 were passed, the Board notes that 15.74% of votes were received against both resolutions. The Company intends to speak with the largest shareholders who voted against these resolutions.

The full results of the AGM are as follows:
