EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. ("Pangaea" or the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A (referred to as this “Amendment”) to amend the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2023. The purpose of this Amendment is to restate the Pay Versus Performance Table found on Page 11 of the Proxy Statement, under the section titled “Pay Versus Performance.” In the previous filing, the compensation for PEO and non-PEO’s were summed. The amendment updates compensation to be reflected on an average basis. Except as specifically amended herein, all information in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged. No other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement. The updated table is provided below:
Pay Versus Performance
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship of executive compensation actually paid (“Compensation Actually Paid”) and certain financial performance of our company. The following table shows the total compensation for our NEOs for the past two fiscal years as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, the Compensation Actually Paid to our CEO (also referred to as the principal executive officer or “PEO”) and our other non-PEO NEO, our total shareholder return on a $100 hypothetical investment in our common stock and our net income.
