CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 (the "Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. These statements may include words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and observations with respect to future events and financial performance.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include, charter market rates, which have declined significantly from historic highs, periods of charter hire, vessel operating expenses and voyage costs, which are incurred primarily in U.S. dollars, depreciation expenses, which are a function of the cost of our vessels, significant vessel improvement costs and our vessels' estimated useful lives, and financing costs related to our indebtedness. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors which could include the following: (i) changes in demand in the drybulk market, including, without limitation, changes in production of, or demand for, commodities and bulk cargoes, generally or in particular regions; (ii) greater than anticipated levels of drybulk vessel newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of drybulk vessel scrapping; (iii) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the drybulk industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international bodies or organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union (the “EU”) or by individual countries; (iv) actions taken by regulatory authorities including without limitation the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (v) changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall drybulk tonnage requirements; (vi) changes in the typical seasonal variations in drybulk charter rates; (vii) changes in the cost of other modes of bulk commodity transportation; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) changes in the condition of the ~~Company’s~~Company's vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated ~~drydocking~~dry docking costs); (x) significant ~~deteriorations~~deterioration in charter hire rates from current levels or the inability of the Company to achieve its cost-cutting measures; ~~and~~ (xi) the ~~outcome~~duration and impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic; (xii) the relative cost and availability of low and high sulfur fuel oil; (xiii) our ability to realize the economic benefits or recover the cost of the scrubbers we have installed; (xiv) any legal ~~proceeding in~~proceedings which we ~~are involved;~~may be involved from time to time; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This discussion also includes statistical data regarding world drybulk fleet and ~~orderbook~~order book and fleet age. We generated some of this data ~~internally. Some of this data was~~internally, and some were obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable ~~sources, and we~~sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or similar terms). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, charter and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax drybulk carriers and the Company operates its business in ~~one~~1 business segment.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company owned and operated a modern fleet of 4750 oceangoing vessels, including 30 Supramax and 1720 Ultramax vessels with a combined carrying capacity of ~~2,755,741~~2,946,188 deadweight tonnage ("dwt") and an average age of approximately ~~8.8~~8.9 years. Additionally, the Company charters-in ~~three 61,400 dwt, 2013 built~~3 Ultramax vessels for ~~an average remaining period of approximately~~periods ranging between one to two ~~years. In addition, the Company~~years, and also charters-in ~~third-party~~ vessels on a short ~~to medium~~ term ~~basis.~~basis for a period less than 12 months.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ the Company’s charterers did not individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s gross charter revenue during those periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 108 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March ~~13, 2019.~~12, 2020.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many countries, ports and organizations, including those where the Company conducts a large part of its operations, have implemented measures to combat the pandemic, such as quarantines and travel restrictions. Such measures have caused and will likely continue to cause severe trade disruptions. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition, including possible vessel impairments, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, an estimate of the impact cannot be made at this time.

As of January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, we adopted ASU No. ~~2016-02, "Leases," as amended~~2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses" ("~~ASC 842" or the "new lease standard”~~ASU 2016-13"). ~~ASC 842 increases transparency and comparability among organizations~~ASU 2016-13 amends the current financial instrument impairment model by requiring entities to use a ~~lessee~~forward-looking approach based on expected losses to ~~record right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities~~estimate credit losses on ~~its balance sheet when it commences an operating lease.~~certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The ~~Company adopted ASC 842 using~~adoption of the ~~modified retrospective transition method of adoption. Under this method, the cumulative effect of applying the new lease~~accounting standard ~~is recorded with no restatement of~~did not have any comparative prior periods presented. As provided by ASC 842, the Company elected to record the required cumulative effect adjustments to the opening balance sheet in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest comparative period presented. As a result, prior periods as reported by the Company have not been impacted by the adoption. As required by ASC 842, the Company's disclosures around its leasing activities have been significantly expanded to enable users ofmaterial impact on our condensed consolidated financial ~~statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. Please refer to Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements for further information.~~statements.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation, estimated losses on our trade receivables, fair value of Convertible Bond Debt (as defined below) and its equity component, fair value of right-of-use ~~asset~~assets and lease ~~liability~~liabilities and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

F-8

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, "Leases", ("ASC ~~842.~~842"). ASC 842 revises the accounting for leases. Under the new lease standard, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. The new lease standard

will continue to classify leases as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The accounting applied by a lessor under the new guidance will be substantially equivalent to current lease accounting guidance.

The following are the type of contracts that fall under ASC 842:

Time charter out contracts

~~Our shipping revenues are principally generated from time charters and voyage charters.~~ In a time charter contract, the vessel is hired by the charterer for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration which is based on a daily hire rate. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed. The contract/charter party generally provides typical warranties regarding the speed and performance of the vessel. The charter party generally has some owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer, subject always to compliance with applicable sanction laws, and carry only lawful or non-hazardous cargo. In a time charter contract, the Company is responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance and lubes. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges and canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

The transition guidance associated with ASC 842 allows for certain practical expedients to the lessors. The Company elected not to separate the lease and non-lease components included in the time charter revenue because the pattern of revenue recognition for the lease and non-lease components (included in the daily hire rate) is the same. The daily hire rate represents the hire rate for a bare boat charter as well as the compensation for expenses incurred running the vessel such as crewing expense, repairs, insurance, maintenance and lubes. Both the lease and non-lease components are earned by passage of time.

The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our accounting for time charter out contracts. The revenue generated from time charter out contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective time charter agreements, which are recorded as part of revenues, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

Time charter-in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement our own fleet and employs them both on time charters and voyage charters. The time charter-in contracts range in lease terms from 30 days to 2 years. The Company elected the practical expedient of ASC 842 that allows for time charter-in contracts with an initial lease term of less than 12 months to be excluded from the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Company recognized the operating lease right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet for time charter-in contracts greater than 12 months on the date of adoption of ASC 842. The Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for all operating leases as charter hire expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating arrangements, with such classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in an entity's income statement. For operating leases, ASC 842 requires recognition in an entity’s income statement of a single lease expense, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. Right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the related lease liability represents an obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the contractual terms of the lease agreement.

At lease commencement, a lessee must develop a discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments so that it can determine lease classification and measure the lease liability. When determining the discount rate to be used at lease commencement, a lessee must use the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined. When the rate

F-9

implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the lessee should use its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that reflects the interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The Company determined that the time charter-in contracts do not contain an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company arrived at the incremental borrowing rate by determining the Company's implied credit rating and the yield curve for debt as of January 1, 2019. The Company then interpolated the yield curve to determine the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the remaining lease term on the specific lease. Based on the above methodology, the Company's incremental

borrowing rates ranged from 5.05% to 6.08% for the ~~five~~5 lease contracts for which the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

The Company has time charter-in contracts for ~~three~~3 Ultramax vessels which are greater than 12 months as of the date of adoption of ASC 842. A brief description of each of these contracts is below:

(i) The Company entered into an agreement effective April 28, 2017, to charter-in a 61,400 dwt, 2013 built Japanese vessel for approximately four years with options for two additional years. The hire rate for the first four years is $12,800 per day and the hire rate for the first optional year is $13,800 per day and $14,300 per day for the second optional year. The Company determined that it will not exercise the existing options under this contract and therefore the options are not included in the calculation of the operating lease right-of-use asset. In addition, the Company’s fair value below contract value of time charters acquired of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2018, which related to the unamortized value of a prior charter with the same counterparty that had been recorded at the time of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, was offset against the corresponding right of use asset on this lease as of January 1, 2019.

(ii) On May 4, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to charter-in a 61,425 dwt 2013 built Ultramax vessel for three years with an option for an additional two years. The hire rate for the first three years is $12,700 per day and $13,750 per day for the first year option and $14,750 per day for the second year option. The Company took delivery of the vessel in the third quarter of 2018. The Company determined that it will not exercise the existing options under this contract and therefore the options are not included in the calculation of the operating lease right-of-use asset.

(iii) On December 9, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to charter-in a 62,487 dwt 2016 built Ultramax vessel for two years. The hire rate for the vessel until March 2020 is $14,250 per day and $15,250 per day thereafter. The Company took delivery of the vessel in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company ~~determined that it will~~elected not to exercise the existing options under this contract and therefore the options are not included in the calculation of the operating lease right-of-use asset. On December 25, 2019, the Company renegotiated the lease terms for another year at a hire rate of $11,600 per day. The Company accounted for this as a lease modification on December 25, 2019 and increased its lease liability and right-of-use asset on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 by $4.5 million.

On October 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new commercial lease agreement as a subtenant for office space in Stamford, Connecticut. The lease is effective from January 2016 through June 2023, with an average annual rent of $0.4 million. The lease is secured by a ~~letter of credit backed by~~ cash collateral of $74,917 ~~and~~which is recorded as restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In November 2018, the Company entered into a lease office agreement in Singapore, which expires in October 2021, with an average annual rent of $0.3 million. The Company determined the ~~two~~2 office leases to be operating leases and recorded the lease expense as part of General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~

~~Adoption of ASC 842~~

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, which resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $28.7 million and related lease liabilities for operating leases of $30.5 million in Total Assets and Total Liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on January 1, 2019.

~~In connection with its adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the "package of 3" practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which exempts the Company from reassessing:~~

~~whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases.~~

~~any expired or existing lease classifications.~~

~~initial direct costs for any existing leases.~~

Additionally, the Company elected, consistent with the practical expedient allowed under the transition guidance of ASC 842 to not separate the lease and non-lease components related to a lease contract and to account for them instead as a single lease component for the purposes of the recognition and measurement requirements of ASC 842.

~~The Company elected not to use the practical expedient of hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the impairment of the Company's operating lease right-of-use assets.~~

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company recognized lease expense in accordance with then-existing U.S. GAAP (“prior GAAP”). Because both ASC 842 and prior GAAP generally recognize operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the term

of the lease arrangement and the Company only has operating lease arrangements, there were no material differences between the timing and amount of lease expenses recognized under the two accounting methodologies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Lease Disclosures Under ASC 842

The objective of the disclosure requirements under ASC 842 is to enable users of an entity’s financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. In addition to the supplemental qualitative leasing disclosures included above, below are quantitative disclosures that are intended to meet the stated objective of ASC 842.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~January 1,~~December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Revenue recognition

Voyage charters

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount

of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a ~~straight- line~~straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606 because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage or despatch paid by the Company for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.9 million and ~~2018 is not material.~~$3.7 million, respectively.

Contract costs

In a voyage charter contract, the Company bears all voyage related costs such as fuel costs, port charges and canal tolls. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs because the costs are direct costs related to the performance of the contract and are expected to be recovered. The costs incurred during the period prior to commencement of loading the cargo, primarily bunkers, are deferred as they represent setup costs and recorded as a current asset and are amortized on a straight-line basis as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company recognized ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million of deferred costs which represents bunker expenses and charter-hire expenses incurred prior to commencement of loading. These costs, are recorded in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

~~Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

The FASB has issued accounting standards that have not yet become effective and may impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures in future periods. These standards and their potential impact are discussed below:

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU No. 2018-13"). ASU No. 2018-13, which is part of the FASB's broader disclosure framework project to modify and supplement the current U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements that pertain to fair value measurements, with an emphasis on Level 3 disclosures of the valuation hierarchy. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective onOn January 1, 2020, ~~with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 is currently not expected to have a material impact on~~ the ~~Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

~~Financial Instrument Credit Losses — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.~~Company adopted ASC 2016-13, "Financial ~~Instruments—~~Instruments - Credit Losses" ("~~ASU No. 2016-13"~~ASC 326"). ~~ASU No. 2016-13~~The accounting standard amends the current financial instrument impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. ~~ASU No. 2016-13 is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted.~~Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The Company ~~is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of~~adopted the accounting standard ~~on its~~using the prospective transition approach as of January 1, 2020. The cumulative effect upon adoption was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The ~~FASB continues~~adoption of ASC 326 primarily impacted our trade receivables recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectable accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to ~~work~~accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as voyage expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company assessed collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a ~~number~~collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when we identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of ~~other significant accounting standards, which if issued, could materially~~the allowance for credit losses, the Company considered historical collectability based on past due status and made judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also considered customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our assessment considered business and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 and estimates of expected emerging credit and collectability trends. The continued volatility in market conditions and evolving shifts in credit trends are difficult to predict causing variability and volatility that may have a material impact ~~the Company's accounting policies and disclosures~~on our allowance for credit losses in future periods. ~~As these standards have not yet been issued, the effective dates~~The allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable was $2.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and ~~potential impacts are unknown.~~$2.5 million as of December 31, 2019.

After deducting debt discount of $1.6 million, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million. Additionally, the Company incurred ~~$0.5~~$1.0 million of debt issuance costs relating to this ~~transaction which is recorded in Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September, 30, 2019.~~transaction.

Additionally, the Company paid a deposit of $6.0 million for the three remaining vessels. The vessels are expected to be delivered~~ in the third and fourth ~~quarter~~quarters of 2019.

The Convertible Bond Debt was issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of July 29, 2019, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Pursuant to the Indenture, the Convertible Bond Debt bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1

and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2020. The Convertible Bond Debt may bear additional interest upon certain events, ~~including~~as set forth in the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting requirements or failure to remove the restrictive legend on the Convertible Bond Debt. The Convertible Bond Debt may also bear special interest if the Company fails to satisfy certain conditions in connection with its share lending arrangements, including its obligation to file promptly after the date of the original issuance ofindenture governing the Convertible Bond Debt ~~and to seek to have declared effective no later than October 27, 2019, a resale registration statement~~ (the “ Resale Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) with respect to 3,582,880 shares of its common stock. The Company filed the Resale Registration Statement, which was declared effective October 15, 2019."Indenture"). If the Company becomes obligated to pay special interest, the Company may ~~on or after October 27, 2019 and~~ prior to July 29, 2020, at its option, redeem for cash all (but not less than all) of the Convertible Bond Debt at a redemption price ~~equal to 101% of the principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, plus the applicable premium~~ as set forth in the Indenture.

The Convertible Bond Debt will mature on August 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to its terms. The Company may not otherwise redeem the Convertible Bond Debt prior to the Maturity Date.

Each holder has the right to convert any portion of the Convertible Bond Debt, provided such portion is of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt is 178.1737 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Bond Debt (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.61 per share of its common stock). ~~The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.~~

Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, to the ~~holder. However, without first obtaining~~holder, subject to shareholder approval requirements in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select ~~Market, the Company may not issue shares of its common stock in excess of 19.9% of the common stock outstanding at the time the Convertible Bond Debt was initially issued.~~Market.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, as set forth in the Indenture, each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of their Convertible Bond Debt for cash in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Bond Debt to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If, however, the holders instead elect to convert their Convertible Bond Debt in connection with the fundamental change, the Company will be required to increase the conversion rate of the Convertible Bond Debt at a rate determined by a combination of the date the fundamental change occurs and the stock price of the Company's common stock on such date.

The Convertible Bond Debt is the general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company. It ~~will rank:~~ranks: (i) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Bond Debt; (ii) equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default which include, among other things: a failure to pay interest that continues for a period of 30 days; a failure to pay principal of the Convertible Bond Debt when due and payable (whether at stated maturity, upon any redemption, upon any required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise); a failure to comply with the conversion obligations under the Convertible Bond Debt and such failure continues for a period of five business days; a failure to comply with certain obligations in connection with a fundamental change; a failure to comply with any of obligations with respect to consolidation, merger and sale of assets of the Company; certain defaults of the Company or its significant subsidiaries with respect to certain indebtedness in excess of $10 million; a final legal judgment rendered against the Company or its significant subsidiaries which exceeds, in the aggregate, $10 million in damages; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.

The guidance requires the initial proceeds received from the sale of convertible debt instruments to be allocated between a liability component and equity component in a manner that reflects the interest expense at the interest rate of similar non-convertible debt that could have been issued by the Company at the time of issuance. The Company ~~measured the~~

~~fair value of the debt component of~~accounted for the Convertible ~~Bond Debt~~based on the ~~date of issuance~~above guidance and attributed ~~$21.1 million~~a portion of the proceeds to the equity ~~component, which represents the excess of proceeds received over the fair value of the debt~~ component. ~~The equity component of the Convertible Bond Debt is recorded in Additional Paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019.~~ The resulting debt discount is amortized using ~~the~~ effective interest method over the expected life of the Convertible Bond Debt as ~~non-cash~~ interest expense. ~~The amount of non-cash interest expense recorded as interest expense in the Condensed Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.6 million.~~ Additionally, the debt discount and issuance costs were allocated based on the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the proceeds from the Convertible Bond Debt. ~~The equity issuance costs of $0.9 million were recorded as a reduction to the Additional Paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019.~~

Share Lending Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt, certain persons entered into an arrangement ~~( the~~(the "Share Lending Agreement") to borrow up to 3,582,880 shares of the Company’s common stock through share lending arrangements from Jefferies LLC (“~~Jefferies”~~JCS”), an initial purchaser of the Convertible Bond Debt, which in turn entered into an arrangement to borrow the shares from an entity affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, LP, one of the Company’s shareholders.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company also agreed to lend Jefferies Capital Services, LLC (the “JCS”), an affiliate of Jeffries, up to 3,582,880 newly issued shares of common stock , which the Company registered for resale on the Resale Registration Statement. The Company expects JCS to lend these shares to borrowers who will sell the shares and use the resulting short position to replace any hedge position created in connection with the initial share loans with Jeffries. The borrowers may effect such transactions by selling the shares at various prices from time to time through Jefferies, which may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or from purchasers of Company's common stock for whom Jefferies may act as agent. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the fair value of the ~~3.5~~3.6 million outstanding loaned shares was ~~$15.7~~$6.6 million based on the closing price of the common stock on ~~September 30, 2019.~~

~~The shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement would need to be returned to the Company, upon the maturity of the Convertible Bond Debt, as well as under the following circumstances:~~

•~~JCS may terminate all or any portion of a loan at any time; and~~

•~~JCS or the Company may terminate any or all outstanding loss upon a default by the other party or the bankruptcy of JCS or the Company.~~

The holders of the shares issued under the Share Lending Agreement will have the right to vote the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions that the Company may pay or make on its outstanding shares of common stock. However, the Company expects JCS:

~~(a) to pay to the Company an amount equal to cash dividends, if any, that the Company pays on the shares borrowed under the Replacement Loan;~~

(b) to pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the Company any other distribution, other than in a liquidation or a reorganization in bankruptcy, that the Company makes on the shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement; and

(c) not to vote the shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except in certain circumstances where such vote is required for quorum purposes.

March 31, 2020. In connection with the Share Lending Agreement, JCS paid $0.03 million representing a nominal fee per borrowed share, equal to the par value of the Company’s common stock. ~~This amount and certain related transaction costs have been recorded in the Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019.~~

While the ~~share lending agreement~~Share Lending Agreement does not require cash payment upon return of the shares, physical settlement is required ( i.e., the loaned shares must be returned at the end of the arrangement). In view of this share return provision and other contractual undertakings of JCS in the share lending agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of borrowed shares, the loaned shares are not considered issued and outstanding for the

purpose of computing and reporting the Company's basic and diluted weighted average shares or earnings per share. If JCS were to file bankruptcy or commence similar administrative, liquidating or restructuring proceedings, the Company will have to consider ~~3.5~~3.6 million shares lent to JCS as issued and outstanding for the purposes of calculating earnings per share.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments

Interest rate swaps

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement ("IRS") to effectively convert a portion of its debt under the New Ultraco Debt Facility from a floating to a fixed-rate basis. The IRS was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge. The Company uses the IRS for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as the IRS effectively converts a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The IRS is an agreement between the Company and counterparties to pay, in the future, a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparties paying the Company a variable payment. The amount of the net payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the IRS and the prevailing market interest rates. The Company may terminate the IRS prior to their expiration dates, at which point a realized gain or loss would be recognized. The value of the Company’s commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which interest rates move against the rate fixed for each swap.

The following table summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Under these swap contracts, exclusive of applicable margins, the Company will pay fixed rate interest and receive floating-rate interest amounts based on three-month LIBOR settings.

The Company records the fair value of the interest rate swap as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. The effective portion of the swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. No portion of the cash flow hedges was ineffective during the period ended March 31, 2020.

The following table shows the interest rate swap liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Forward freight agreements and bunker swaps

The Company trades in forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and bunker swaps, with the objective of utilizing this market as economic hedging instruments that reduce the risk of specific vessels to changes in the freight market. The Company’s FFAs and bunker swaps have not qualified for hedge accounting treatment. As such, unrealized and realized gains are recognized as a component of ~~other~~Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and ~~Other current assets~~Derivative asset and Fair value of derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivatives are considered to be Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

For our bunker swaps, the Company may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company has International Swaps and Derivatives Association ~~(ISDA)~~("ISDA") agreements with two applicable banks and financial institutions which contain netting provisions. In addition to a master agreement with the Company supported by a primary parent guarantee on either side, the Company also has associated credit support agreements in place with the two counterparties which, among other things, provide the circumstances under which either party is required to post eligible collateral, when the market value of transactions covered by these agreements exceeds specified thresholds. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, no collateral had been received or pledged related to these derivative instruments.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding bunker swap agreements to purchase 38,700 metric tons of high sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $225 and $297 and sell 38,700 metric tons of low sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $446 and $565 per metric ton, that are expiring at December 31, 2020. The volume represents less than 10% of our estimated consumption on our fleet for the year. The Company also had outstanding bunker swap agreements to purchase 72,000 metric tons of high sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $264 and $305 and sell 72,000 metric tons of low sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $411 and $486 per metric ton, that are expiring at December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company had outstanding bunker swap agreements to purchase 26,100 metric tons of low sulfur fuel oil with prices ranging between $121 and $524 per metric ton, that are expiring at December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company entered into FFAs for 1,575 days covering the time period of April to December 2020 (between 15 and 29 days per month), expiring at the end of each calendar month during 2020. The FFA contract prices range from $8,200 to $11,650 per day. The Company will realize a gain or loss on these FFAs based on the price differential between the average daily Baltic Supramax Index ("BSI") rate and the FFA contract price. The gains or losses are recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The effect of non-designated derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets is as follows:

Cash Collateral Disclosures

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives by the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of respective master agreement executed with counterparties or exchanges and is required when agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded. As of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company posted cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements of ~~$1.3~~$2.6 million and ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million, respectively, which is recorded within ~~Other~~Derivative asset and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature thereof.

Debt—the carrying amounts of borrowings under the Norwegian Bond Debt, Convertible Bond Debt, Super Senior Facility, and the New Ultraco Debt Facility (prior to application of the discount and debt issuance costs) including the Revolving Loan, approximate their fair value, due to the variable interest rate nature thereof.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts ~~certain short-term investments~~ and restricted cash accounts.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our short-term investments and debt balances under the Convertible Bond Debt, Norwegian Bond Debt, Super Senior Facility, and the New Ultraco Debt Facility. Interest rate swaps are considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company, using the income approach to value the derivatives, uses observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact.

F-21

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In November 2015, the Company filed a voluntary self-disclosure report with OFAC regarding certain apparent violations of U.S. sanctions regulations in the provision of shipping services for third party charterers with respect to the transportation of cargo to or from Myanmar (formerly Burma) (the “OFAC Disclosure”). At the time of such apparent violations, the Company had a different senior operational management team. Notwithstanding the fact that the apparent violations took place under a different senior operational management team and although the Company’s new Board of Directors and management have implemented robust remedial measures and significantly enhanced its compliance safeguards, there can be no assurance that OFAC will not conclude that these past actions warrant the imposition of civil penalties and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. The report was provided to OFAC for the agency’s review, consideration and determination regarding what action, if any, may be taken in resolution of this matter. The Company will continue to cooperate with the agency regarding this matter and cannot estimate when such review will be concluded. While the ultimate impact of these matters cannot be determined, there can be no assurance that the impact will not be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. ~~Income/~~Net (loss) ~~Per~~/income per Common Share

The computation of basic net ~~income/~~(loss)/income per share is based on the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019. Diluted net income per share gives effect to restricted stock awards and stock options ~~and restricted stock units~~ using the ~~if-converted method and~~ treasury stock method, unless the impact is anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 does not include ~~1,567,032~~1,227,057 restricted stock awards, ~~2,284,796~~2,282,171 stock options and 152,266 warrants, as their effect was anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Convertible Bond Debt is not considered a participating security and therefore not included in the computation of the Basic loss per share for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The Company determined that it does not overcome the presumption of share settlement of outstanding debt and therefore the Company applied the if-converted method and did not include the potential shares to be issued upon conversion of Convertible Bond Debt in the calculation of Diluted loss per share for the three months ~~and nine months~~ ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as their effect was anti-dilutive. Diluted net income per share for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 does not include ~~1,452~~2,750 stock awards, ~~352,000~~348,625 stock options and 152,266 warrants, as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Note 9. Stock Incentive Plans

On December 15, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the Company registered 5,348,613 shares of common stock, which may be issued under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan replaced the post-emergence Management Incentive Program (the “2014 Plan”) and no other awards will be granted under the 2014 Plan. Outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2014 Plan until exercised, expired, otherwise terminated, or canceled. Any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including any prospective officer or employee) is eligible to be designated to participate in the 2016 Plan. The Company withheld shares related to restricted stock awards that vested in ~~2018~~2020 at the fair market value equivalent to the maximum statutory withholding obligation and remitted that amount in cash to the appropriate taxation authorities. On June 7, 2019, the Company's shareholders approved an

amendment and restatement of the 2016 Plan, which increased the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares to a maximum of 7,848,613 shares of common stock.

On January 2, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company granted ~~781,890~~372,250 restricted shares as a company-wide grant under the 2016 Plan. The fair value of the grant based on the closing share price on ~~December 31, 2018~~January 2, 2020 was ~~$3.7~~$1.7 million. The shares will vest in equal installments over a ~~three-year~~three-year term. Additionally, the Company granted ~~28,200~~28,262 common stock to its board of directors.

Business Overview

~~We are~~ Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc., (“Eagle” or the “Company”) is a Marshall Islands corporation incorporated on March 23, 2005 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. We own one of the largest fleets of Supramax/Ultramax drybulk vessels in the world. Supramax drybulk vessels range in size from approximately 50,000 to 59,000 dwt and Ultramax drybulk vessels range in size from 60,000 to 65,000 dwt. Supramax and Ultramax vessels are equipped with cranes and grabs, which are used to load and discharge cargo. We provide all management services which includes strategic, commercial, operational, technical, and administrative services, to our owned fleet. We also provideU.S. based fully integrated shipowner-operator providing global transportation solutions to a diverse group of customers including miners, producers, traders, and end users. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in Singapore and Copenhagen, Eagle focuses exclusively on the versatile mid-size drybulk vessel segment and owns one of the largest fleets of Supramax/Ultramax vessels in the world. The Company performs all management services in-house such as strategic, commercial, operational, technical, and administrative services, and employs an active management approach to fleet trading with the objective of optimizing revenue performance and maximizing earnings on a risk-managed basis. Typical cargoes we transport include both major bulk cargoes, such as ~~coal, grain, and~~ iron ore, coal and grain, and minor bulk cargoes such as fertilizer, steel products, petcoke, cement, and forest products. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we owned and operated a modern fleet of 4750 Supramax/Ultramax ~~drybulk~~dry bulk vessels. We ~~charter-in~~chartered-in three Ultramax vessels onfor a ~~long~~ term ~~basis with the lease terms~~ ranging ~~between~~from one to two years. In addition, the Company ~~charters-in~~charters in third-party vessels on a short to medium term basis.

~~We are focused on maintaining a high quality~~Our owned fleet that is concentrated primarily in Supramax/Ultramax drybulk carriers. These vessels have the cargo loading and unloading flexibility of on-board cranes while offering cargo carrying capacities approaching that of Panamax drybulk vessels, which range in size from 72,000 to 83,000 dwt and rely on port facilities to load and offload their cargoes. We believe that the cargo handling flexibility and cargo carrying capacity of the Supramax/Ultramax class vessels make them attractive to cargo interests and vessel charterers. The Company’s owned operating fleet consisted of 47 drybulktotals 50 vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of ~~2,755,741~~2,946,188 dwt ~~with~~and had an average age of ~~approximately 8.8~~8.9 years as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

~~Refinancing~~

On January 25, 2019, Eagle Bulk Ultraco LLC ("Ultraco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "New Ultraco Debt Facility"), with the Company and certain of its indirect vessel-owning subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, the swap banks party thereto, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC (“ABN AMRO”), Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL) and DNB Markets Inc., as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and ABN AMRO, as arranger, security trustee and facility agent. The New Ultraco Debt Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of $208.4 million, which consists of (i) a term loan facility of $153.4 million and (ii) a revolving credit facility of $55.0 million. The proceeds from the New Ultraco Debt Facility were used to repay in full (i) the outstanding debt including accrued interest under (a) the credit agreement, dated June 28, 2017, made by, among others, Ultraco, as borrower, the banks and financial institutions party thereto and ABN AMRO, as securities trustee and facility agent, in the original principal amount of up to $61.2 million (the “Original Ultraco Debt Facility”) and (b) the credit agreement, dated December 8, 2017, made by, among others Eagle Shipping LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Eagle Shipping”), as borrower, the entities and financial institutions party thereto and ABN AMRO, as security trustee and facility agent, in the original principal amount of up to $65.0 million (the “New First Lien Facility”), and (ii) for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the New Ultraco Debt Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum.

~~Convertible Bond Debt~~

On July 29, 2019, the company issued $114.12 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Bond Debt”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Please refer to the Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Corporate Information

We maintain our principal executive offices at 300 First Stamford Place, 5^th Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Our telephone number at that address is (203) 276-8100. Our website address is www.eagleships.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website does not constitute part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Strategy and Outlook

We believe our ~~strong~~ balance sheet allows us the flexibility to opportunistically make investments in the drybulk segment that will drive shareholder growth. In order to accomplish this, we intend to:

•Maintain a highly efficient and quality fleet in the drybulk segment.

•Maintain a revenue strategy that takes advantage of a rising rate environment and at the same time mitigate risk in a declining rate environment.

•Maintain a cost structure that allows us to be competitive in all economic cycles without sacrificing safety or maintenance.

•Continue to grow our relationships with our charterers and vendors.

•Continue to invest in our on-shore operations and development of processes.

Our financial performance is based on the following key elements of our business strategy:


~~(1)~~	Concentration in one vessel category: Supramax/Ultramax drybulk vessels, which we believe offer certain size, operational and geographical advantages relative to other classes of drybulk vessels, such as Handysize, Panamax and Capesize vessels.

~~(2)~~

An active owner-operator model where we seek to operate our own fleet and develop contractual relationships directly with cargo interests. These relationships and the related cargo contracts have the dual benefit of providing greater operational efficiencies and act as a balance to the Company’s naturally long position to the market. Notwithstanding the focus on voyage chartering, we consistently monitor the drybulk shipping market and, based on market conditions, will consider taking advantage of long-term time charters at higher rates when appropriate.


~~(3)~~	~~Maintain high quality vessels and improve standards of operation through improved standards and procedures, crew training and repair and maintenance procedures.~~

~~(1)~~	~~The vessels are at shipyard undergoing drydock or installation of scrubbers or BWTS or all of the listed.~~

In 2020 to date, charter hire rates have been significantly impacted by various factors, including the outbreak of COVID-19, which has caused temporary restrictions and/or closures of mines, factories, ports around the world. We believe the outbreak of COVID-19, and its impact to the global economy, is the primary reason why charter hire rates have been weak thus far in 2020. The weaker rate environment has put pressure on vessel prices.

In addition, the spread of COVID-19 may have operational risks for our business. Operational risks include the following: delays in transferring cargo; offhire time resulting from delays associated with quarantine regulations; delays in ports as a result of additional restrictions and protocols; increased expenses resulting from quarantine regulations of the affected crew members and resulting crew changes; delays in drydocking for our vessels in shipyards, most of which are in China and delays in receipt of charter revenues.

We have instituted measures to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19 for our crew members on our vessels as well as our onshore offices in Stamford, Connecticut, Singapore and Copenhagen. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy on a prolonged basis, or becomes more severe, the rate environment in the drybulk market and our vessel values may deteriorate further and our operations and cash flows may be negatively impacted.

Fleet Management

The management of our fleet includes the following functions:

•Strategic management. We locate and obtain financing and insurance for the purchase and sale of vessels.

•Commercial management. We obtain employment for our vessels and manage our relationships with charterers.

•Technical management. We have established an in-house technical management function to perform day-to-day operations and maintenance of our vessels.

Commercial and Strategic Management

We carry out the commercial and strategic management of our fleet through our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We also have offices in Singapore and Copenhagen, Denmark, through which we provide round the clock management services to our owned and chartered-in fleet. ~~During the third quarter of 2019, the Company closed its operations in Hamburg, Germany and opened a new office in Copenhagen, Denmark.~~ We currently have 91 shore-based personnel, including our senior management team and our office staff, who either directly or through these subsidiaries, provide the following services:

•commercial operations and technical supervision;

•safety monitoring;

•vessel acquisition; and

•financial, accounting and information technology services.

Technical Management

Technical management includes managing day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, supervising the maintenance and general efficiency of vessels, arranging our hire of qualified officers and crew, arranging and supervising drydocking and repairs, purchasing supplies, spare parts and new equipment for vessels, appointing supervisors and technical consultants, and providing technical support.

Value of Assets and Cash Requirements

The replacement costs of comparable new vessels may be above or below the book value of our fleet. The market value of our fleet may be below book value when market conditions are weak and exceed book value when markets conditions are strong. Customary with industry practice, we may consider asset redeployment, which at times may include the sale of vessels at less than their book value. The Company’s results of operations and cash flow may be significantly affected by future charter markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which apply to interim financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, expenses and warrants and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, they do not include all of the information on critical accounting policies normally included in consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, a detailed description of these critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, filed with the SEC on March ~~13, 2019.~~12, 2020. There have been no material changes from the “Critical Accounting Policies” previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, filed with the SEC on March ~~13, 2019~~12, 2020 except for the new accounting pronouncement adopted as of January 1, ~~2019~~2020 relating to the adoption of ASC ~~842.~~326. Please refer to Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are the residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the value of stock-based compensation,the fair value of the

debt component of the Convertible Bond Debt, the fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets, and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

•Ownership days: We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

•Chartered-in days: We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which the Company chartered-in vessels.

•Available days: We define available days as the number of our ownership days and chartered-in days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel upgrades or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company completed drydock for ~~five vessels and~~ three ~~vessels were undergoing drydock as of September 30, 2019.~~

vessels.

•Operating days: We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

•Fleet utilization: We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during ~~such~~the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a ~~company’s~~company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning. Our fleet continues to perform at very high utilization rates.

Time Charter and Voyage Revenue

Shipping revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by a company and the trades in which those vessels operate. In the drybulk sector of the shipping industry, rates for the transportation of drybulk cargoes such as ores, grains, steel, fertilizers, and similar commodities, are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for such commodities, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy and the conditions of certain geographical areas. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally because of scrapping.

The mix of charters between spot or voyage charters and mid-term time charters also affects revenues. Because the mix

between voyage charters and time charters significantly affects shipping revenues and voyage expenses, vessel revenues are benchmarked based on net charter hire income. Net charter hire income comprises revenue from vessels operating on time charters, and voyage revenue less voyage expenses from vessels operating on voyage charters in the spot market and charter hire expenses. Net charter hire serves as a measure of analyzing fluctuations between financial periods and as a method of equating revenue generated

from a voyage charter to time charter revenue.

The following table represents Net charter hire income (a non-GAAP measure) for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from time and voyage charters. As is common in the shipping industry, we pay commissions ranging from 1.25% to 5.50% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter.

Net time and voyage charter revenues for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~$74.1~~$74.4 million compared with ~~$69.1~~$77.4 million recorded in the comparable quarter in ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a change in the mix between our time and voyage charter business, partly offset by lower charter rates and a decrease in available days. The lower ownership days in the current quarter were due to the sale of vessels Condor and Merlin in the first quarter of 2019, the Thrasher in the second quarter of 2019, and the Kestrel in the third quarter of 2019 which was offset by the purchase of one vessel in the first quarter of 2019 and three vessels in the third quarter of 2019, as well as an increase in chartered-in days. The lower available days during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were impacted by the higher off hire days due to drydocks and installation of scrubbers and ballast water systems on our vessels.

Net time and voyage charter revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $220.9 million and $223.4 million, respectively. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower charter rates and a decrease in available days, due to lower ~~ownership days as well as an increase in off hire days due to drydocks and the installation of scrubbers and ballast water systems, which was~~chartered-in activity offset ~~in part~~ by an increase in ~~chartered-in days.~~

owned days due to the acquisition of six Ultramax vessels in the second half of 2019.

Voyage ~~Expenses~~expenses

To the extent that we employ our vessels on voyage charters, we will incur expenses that include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls and cargo handling operations, as these expenses are borne by the vessel owner on voyage charters. As is common in the shipping industry, we pay commissions ranging from 1.25% to 5.50% to unaffiliated ship brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. Bunkers, port charges, and canal tolls primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the vessel's account. Voyage expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~$19.4~~$26.6 million, compared to ~~$15.1~~$25.9 million in the comparable quarter in ~~2018.~~2019. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in ~~our voyage charter business.~~

~~Voyage expenses for~~ the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $66.3 million and $54.8 million, respectively. The increase~~number of freight voyages performed offset by a decrease in ~~our voyage charter business year over year contributed to the increase in voyage expenses.~~

bunker prices.

Vessel ~~Expenses~~expenses

Vessel expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~$20.0~~$23.7 million compared to ~~$19.6~~$20.1 million in the comparable quarter in ~~2018.~~2019. The increase in vessel expenses was attributable to increased crew wages, expenses for lubes, ~~and~~deck stores, scrubber spares and ~~repair expenses offset in part by a decrease~~an increase in ownership days after the purchase of six Ultramax vessels offset by the sale of the vessels ~~Condor~~Thrasher and ~~Merlin in the first quarter of 2019, the vessel Thrasher~~Kestrel in the second ~~quarter~~half of ~~2019, and the vessel Kestrel in the third quarter of 2019. The ownership days were~~

~~also impacted by the purchase of one Ultramax vessel in January 2019 and three Ultramax vessels in September~~ 2019. The ownership days for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 4,550 and ~~2018 were 4,156 and 4,304,~~4,160, respectively.

Vessel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $60.0 million and $61.2 million, respectively. The decrease in vessel expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in ownership days subsequent to the sale of four vessels during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 offset by the purchase and delivery of one Ultramax vessel in January 2019 and three Ultramax vessels in September 2019. The ownership days for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 12,485 and 12,910, respectively.

We believe daily vessel operating expenses are a good measure for comparative purposes in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation.

Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $5,209 and ~~2018 were $4,801 and $4,547,~~$4,830, respectively.

~~Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $4,806 and $4,742, respectively.~~

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores and related inventory, tonnage taxes, pre-operating costs associated with

the delivery of acquired vessels, including providing the newly acquired vessels with initial provisions and stores, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, may cause the operating expenses of our vessels to increase, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crew, insurance and petroleum-based lubricants and supplies.

Charter hire expenses

The charter hire expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~$11.3~~$6.0 million compared to ~~$7.5~~$11.5 million in the comparable quarter in ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease in charter hire expenses was principally due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in the number of chartered-in ~~vessels on a short-term basis.~~days. The total chartered-in days for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were ~~931~~604 compared to ~~632~~1,036 for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The Company currently charters in three Ultramax vessels on a long term basis with lease terms ranging from one to two years.

The charter hire expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $34.0 million and $27.8 million, respectively. The increase in charter hire expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of chartered-in vessels. The total chartered-in days for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 2,937 and 2,443, respectively.

Depreciation and ~~Amortization~~amortization

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ total depreciation and amortization expense was ~~$10.1~~$12.5 million and ~~$9.5~~$9.4 million, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 includes ~~$8.4~~$10.6 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and ~~$1.7~~$1.9 million relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 were ~~$8.1~~$8.2 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and ~~$1.4~~$1.2 million of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. The increase in depreciation expense is due to an increase in the cost base of our owned fleet due to the capitalization of scrubbers and BWTS on our vessels, and the purchase of ~~five~~six Ultramax vessels ~~since~~in the ~~third quarter~~second half of ~~2018,~~2019, marginally offset by the sale of ~~four~~two vessels. The increase in drydock amortization was due to the completion of twelve additional drydocks ~~completed~~ since the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2018.~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, total depreciation and amortization expense was $29.2 million and $28.0 million, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $24.8 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $4.4 million relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $24.1 million of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and $3.9 million of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. 2019.

The cost of all vessels is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the

date of initial delivery from the shipyard to the original owner. Furthermore, we estimate the residual values of our vessels to be $300 per lightweight ton, which we believe is common in the drybulk shipping industry. Drydocking relates to our regularly scheduled maintenance program necessary to preserve the quality of our vessels as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Management anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years and every five years for vessels younger than 15 years, accordingly, these expenses are deferred and amortized over that period.

General and ~~Administrative Expenses~~administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include onshore vessel administration related expenses, such as legal and professional expenses and administrative and other expenses including payroll and expenses relating to our executive officers and office staff, office rent and expenses, directors’ fees, and directors and officers insurance. General and administrative expenses also include stock-based compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ were ~~$8.5~~$8.0 million and ~~$8.9~~$8.4 million, respectively. These general and administrative expenses include a stock-based compensation component of ~~$1.2~~$0.8 million and ~~$2.1~~$1.4 million for ~~2019~~the three months ended 2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the decrease in stock-based compensation ~~expense, which was partially offset by a marginal increase in office expenses due to the closing of our Hamburg, Germany office and the opening of our Copenhagen, Denmark office.~~

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $24.9 million and $27.7 million, respectively. These general and administrative expenses include a stock-based compensation component of $3.8 million and $8.0 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the decrease in stock-based compensation expense offset by an increase in payroll and office expenses.expense.

Interest ~~Expense~~expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ was ~~$8.1~~$9.2 million and ~~$6.6~~$6.8 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in our outstanding debt ~~for the purchase of five Ultramax vessels since the third quarter of 2018 as well as the issuance of~~under the Convertible Bond Debt and the New Ultraco Debt Facility offset by a decrease in ~~July 2019.~~interest rates. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $21.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in our outstanding debt for the purchase of five Ultramax vessels since the third quarter of 2018 as well as the issuance of Convertible Bond Debt in July 2019.

Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. These financing costs relate to costs associated with our various outstanding debt facilities. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ the amortization of debt issuance costs was ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million and $0.5 ~~million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the amortization of debt issuance costs was $2.3 million and $1.4~~ million, respectively. The interest expense for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 includes ~~$0.6~~

$0.9 million ~~non-cash~~of interest expense representing the amortization of the equity component of the Convertible Bond Debt. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~Loss on debt extinguishment~~

On January 25, 2019, the Company repaid the outstanding debt together with accrued interest as of that date under the New First Lien Facility and the Original Ultraco Debt Facility and discharged the debt in full from the proceeds of the New Ultraco Debt Facility. The Company accounted for the above transaction as a debt extinguishment. As a result, the Company recognized $2.3 million representing the outstanding balance of debt issuance costs, as a loss on debt extinguishment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had or is likely, in the foreseeable future, to have a significant impact on vessel operating expenses, drydocking expenses or general and administrative expenses.

Our principal sources of funds are operating cash flows, long-term bank borrowings and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our principal use of funds is capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements and repay interest and principal on our outstanding loan facilities.

~~Convertible Bond Debt~~

On July 29, 2019, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million as a result of the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt. As of September 30, 2019, the Company utilized $62.1 million of the net proceeds for purchase of three Ultramax vessels which were delivered to the Company in September 2019 and intends to use the remaining proceeds to purchase three more identified modern Ultramax vessels, as well as for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~New Ultraco Debt Facility~~

On January 25, 2019, Ultraco Shipping LLC ("Ultraco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new senior secured credit facility, as the borrower (the "New Ultraco Debt Facility"), with the Company and certain of its indirectly vessel-owning subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, the swap banks party thereto, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC ("ABN AMRO"), Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB ( PUBL) and DNB Markets Inc., as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and ABN AMRO, as arranger, security trustee and facility agent. The New Ultraco Debt Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of $208.4 million, which consists of (i) a term loan facility of $153.4 million (the "Term Facility Loan") and (ii) a revolving credit facility of $55.0 million. The proceeds from the New Ultraco Debt Facility were used to repay the outstanding debt including accrued interest under the Original Ultraco Debt Facility and the New First Lien Facility in full and for general corporate purposes. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the credit agreement, Ultraco may request an increase of up to $60.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility Loan. Outstanding borrowings under the New Ultraco Debt Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~As of September 30, 2019, the availability under the revolving credit facility was $55.0 million.~~

On October 1, 2019, Ultraco, the Company, and certain initial and additional guarantors entered into a first amendment to the New Ultraco Debt Facility (the "First Amendment"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, Ultraco requested that the incremental lenders under the New Ultraco Debt Facility make incremental commitments and loans to Ultraco (the "First Incremental Borrowings"). On October 4, 2019, pursuant to the First Incremental Borrowings, Ultraco borrowed $34.3 million, which the Company will use for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures relating to the installation of exhaust gas cleaning systems, or scrubbers. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~Norwegian Bond Debt~~

On November 28, 2017, Eagle Bulk Shipco LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Shipco" or "Issuer") issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.250% Senior Secured Bonds (the "Bonds" or the "Norwegian Bond Debt"), pursuant to those certain bond terms (the "Bond Terms"), dated as of November 22, 2017, by and between the Issuer and Nordic Trustee AS, as the Bond Trustee. After giving effect to an original issue discount of approximately 1% and deducting offering expenses of $3.1 million, the net proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds were approximately $195.0 million. These net proceeds from the Bonds, together with the proceeds from the New First Lien Facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all amounts outstanding including accrued interest under various debt facilities outstanding at that time and to pay expenses associated with the refinancing transactions. Shipco incurred $1.3 million in other financing costs in connection with the transaction. Please refer to Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Super Senior Facility~~

On December 8, 2017, Shipco entered into the Super Senior Facility, which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million. The proceeds of the Super Senior Facility, which are currently undrawn, are expected, pursuant to the terms of the Super Senior Facility, to be used (i) to acquire additional vessels or vessel owners and (ii) for general corporate and working capital purposes of Shipco and its subsidiaries. The Super Senior Facility matures on August 28, 2022. Shipco paid $0.3 million as other financing costs in connection with the transaction.

~~As of September 30, 2019, the availability under the Super Senior Facility was $15.0 million.~~

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash was ~~$101.1~~$72.2 million, compared to ~~$78.2~~$59.1 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The Company had restricted cash of ~~$29.6~~$3.0 million and ~~$11.0~~$5.5 million as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019 respectively.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the availability under our revolver facilities was $22.5 million.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s debt consisted of ~~$192.0~~$188.0 million in outstanding bonds under the Norwegian Bond Debt, net of ~~$4.5~~$3.8 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs, the revolver loan under the Super Senior Facility of $2.5 million, net of $0.1 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs, the New Ultraco Debt Facility of ~~$143.3~~$166.8 million, net of ~~$2.9~~$3.3 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs, the revolver loan under the New Ultraco Debt Facility of $45.0 million, and the Convertible Bond Debt of $114.1 million, net of ~~$22.2~~$20.4 million of debt discount and issuance costs. ~~The foregoing does not give effect to the $34.3 million borrowed in connection with the First Amendment described above.~~

We believe that our current financial resources, together with the undrawn capacity under our revolving credit ~~facility~~facilities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our ongoing business needs and other obligations over the next twelve months. ~~Our~~However, our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors beyond our control including, among other things, ~~continuing to improve~~ the ~~profitability~~impact and duration of ~~its operations~~COVID-19 and ~~future cash flows, which contemplates~~ an improvement in charter rates.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and capital improvements to our vessels, which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of the vessels.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, the other major capital expenditures include funding the Company’s program of regularly scheduled drydocking, which is necessary to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Although the Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of its drydocking, the costs are relatively predictable. The Company anticipates that vessels will be drydocked every five years for vessels younger than 15 years and every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years. Accordingly, these expenses will be deferred and amortized over that period. We anticipate that we will fund these costs with cash from operations and that these ~~recertifications~~drydocks will require us to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce our available days and operating days during that period.

Drydocking costs incurred are deferred and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period through the date of the next scheduled drydocking for those vessels. In the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019, five~~March 31, 2020, three of our vessels completed drydock and we incurred drydocking expenditures of $5.2 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, three of our vessels ~~were~~completed drydock and one vessel was still in drydock as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019, and we incurred drydocking expenditures of ~~$6.1 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, nine vessels were drydocked and two vessels were still in drydock as of September 30, 2018, and we incurred drydocking expenditures of $6.5~~$2.5 million.

On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a series of agreements to purchase up to 37 scrubbers, which are to be fitted on the Company's vessels. The agreements are comprised of firm orders for 19 scrubbers and up to an additional 18 units, at the Company’s option. On November 20, 2018, the Company announced that it had exercised its option to purchase 15 of the 18 optional scrubbers, and on January 23, 2019, the Company announced that it had exercised the remaining three options. The projected costs, including installation, is approximately $2.2 million per scrubber system. The Company intends to complete the installation of a majority of the 37 scrubbers prior to January 1, 2020, which is the implementation date of the new sulphur emission cap regulation, as set forth by the International Maritime Organization (“IMO”). The Company recorded $52.0 million of scrubber system costs in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company completed and commissioned two scrubbers and subsequently reclassified $4.3 million from Other assets to Vessels and vessel improvements in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On August 14, 2018, the Company entered into a contract for the installation of ballast water treatment systems ("BWTS") on all of our owned vessels. The projected costs, including installation, is approximately $0.5 million per BWTS. The Company intends to complete the installation during scheduled drydockings. The Company recorded $3.4 million for BWTS in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company completed installation of BWTS on four vessels and subsequently reclassified $1.6 million from Other assets to Vessels and vessel improvements in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On July 10, 2019 and July 15, 2019, the Company agreed to purchase six high-specification Ultramax bulk carriers for approximately $122.8 million, subject to final documentation and customary closing conditions, to increase our fleet's operating capacity. As of September 30, 2019, the Company took delivery of three vessels, Dublin Eagle, Sydney Eagle and Copenhagen Eagle. The Company paid $62.1 million from the proceeds raised from the issuance of the Convertible Bond Debt. Additionally, the Company paid deposits of $6.0 million total for the three remaining vessels. The vessels are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019.

~~Please see Note 4 Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.~~

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Other Contingencies

We refer you to Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our contingencies related to claim litigation. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in these matters, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the period in which the ruling occurs. The potential impact from legal proceedings on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could change in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes from the market risk disclosure set forth in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, filed with the SEC on March ~~13, 2019.~~12, 2020. For information regarding our use of certain derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements and bunker swaps, see Note 5 Derivatives to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal ~~Control Over Financial Reporting~~Controls.

~~There have been no changes~~No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the ~~period covered by this report~~quarter ended March 31, 2020 that ~~have~~has materially affected, or ~~are~~is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal ~~control~~controls over financial reporting.

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that all of our shore employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure by us of significant financial and managerial resources. Information about legal proceedings is set forth in Note 7.7 Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements and is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

~~There have been no material changes from the “Risk Factors” previously~~As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018, filed~~2019 under “The COVID-19 or other pandemics, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition,” we believe the COVID-19 has negatively affected our business and could continue to do so. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant worldwide operational volatility, uncertainty and disruption. The extent to which COVID-19 will adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors, which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted, including:

•the duration and scope of the outbreak;

•governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the outbreak, including travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing, work-at-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders and shut-downs;

•the impact of the outbreak on the financial markets and economic activity generally;

•the effect of the outbreak on our charterers and other business partners;

•our ability to access the capital markets and our usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms;

•our ability to comply with the ~~SEC~~financial covenants in our debt agreements if a material economic downturn results in increased indebtedness or substantially lower operating results;

•potential vessel impairment charges;

•increased cybersecurity risks as a result of remote working conditions;

•our ability during the outbreak to provide our services, including the health and wellbeing of our employees; and

•the ability of our charterers to pay for our services during and following the outbreak.

The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased financial and economic volatility and uncertainty. A continued slowdown or downturn in the economy has had, and we expect will continue to have, a negative impact on ~~March 13, 2019.~~demand for transportation of dry bulk products. All of the foregoing has and will continue to impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and forward-looking expectations. Furthermore, modified processes, procedures and controls could be required to respond to changes in our business environment, as our employees are required to work from home. The significant increase in remote working of our employees may exacerbate certain risks to our business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of malicious technology-related events, such as cyberattacks and phishing attacks, and increased risk of improper dissemination of personal, proprietary or confidential information.

The potential effects of COVID-19 could also heighten the risks disclosed in many of our risk factors that are included in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including as a result of, but not limited to, the factors described above. Furthermore, the risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 are not the only risks ~~facing us.~~we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
