HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE: ASC) ("Ardmore" or the "Company") today announced the planned departure of its current Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Paul Tivnan and appointment of new CFO Bart Kelleher, effective 28 September 2022.

Anthony Gurnee, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"After 12 great years at Ardmore, Paul has decided to leave the company to broaden his experience and pursue further ambitions.  Paul has been instrumental to what Ardmore has accomplished, from its start-up in 2010, through its IPO on the NYSE in 2013, to our position as a first-class shipping company today.  Most recently he concluded the Element 1 and Maritime Partners transactions in mid-2021 and a complete refinancing of Ardmore's debt on favorable terms.  Paul has been a core part of the senior management team and it has been a privilege to work with him over these many years. We wish him the best as he passes the torch and moves on to the next chapter of his career.

At the same time, I am delighted to announce that Bart Kelleher has agreed to join Ardmore as CFO.  Bart brings to Ardmore a wealth of experience in shipping and related industries across many functions, including notable financial sector and CFO experience, as well as his expertise in the chemical sector as CEO of Chembulk Tankers. We are confident that he will play a pivotal role in driving Ardmore strategically and financially toward even greater future success. 

Paul and Bart will overlap and work closely together from 1st September to achieve an orderly and well-planned transition, including a thorough handover of all internal and external relationships."
