Dividend Policy – Quarterly Calcs 20 The company expects to pay dividends only if during the preceding quarter both Quarterly Cash Flow and Quarter End Excess Cash are positiveQuarter End Excess Cash is defined as actual end of quarter Cash and Cash Equivalents over Minimum Cash Threshold. Minimum Cash Threshold is defined as the sum of $9.0m minimum liquidity pursuant to the loan agreements and $1.5m per vesselQuarterly Cash Flow is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses, less vessel operating expenses, less general and administrative expenses, less - the greater of i) net interest expense and repayment of debt or ii) fleet replacement reserves - and less maintenance reserves for the fleetThe quarterly dividend payments, if any, are expected to be based on a pay-out ratio of the lower of i) Quarterly Cash Flow and ii) Quarter End Excess CashWe expect the payout ratio of 50% to increase as the company leverage decreases – maximum 90% if leverage (total debt/equity market capitalization) is <10% Source: Company
