Typically, under time charter arrangements, the charterer pays a charter hire in regular intervals based on a daily rate and will be responsible for substantially all voyage expenses, such as port dues, canal tolls and bunker fuel costs, and any other expenses related to the cargoes. The owner of the vessel remains responsible for vessel operating expenses, such as costs for crewing, provisions, stores, lubricants, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, as well as costs for drydocking and intermediate and special surveys. |
• | Spot Voyage or Voyage Charter. A spot voyage or voyage charter is a contract to carry out a single voyage to transport an agreed quantity and type of cargo between certain ports or geographical regions. Typically, the charterer pays an agreed upon lumpsum amount, and the owner bears substantially all voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses. |

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Yorkville for the Common Shares that we may elect to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the Common Shares during the applicable period, it is not possible for us to predict the number of Common Shares that we will sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that Yorkville will pay for Common Shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Yorkville under the SEPA, if any. |
