On June 12, 2024, Navigator Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BW Group Limited, as the selling shareholder of the Company (the “Selling Shareholder”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and DNB Markets, Inc., as the underwriters (together, the “Underwriters”), in connection with the previously announced public offering by the Selling Shareholder (the “Secondary Offering”) of a total of 7,000,000 shares (the “Offered Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. The Company did not offer any shares of its Common Stock in the Secondary Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its shares of Common Stock in the Secondary Offering. The Secondary Offering closed on June 13, 2024.
In addition, in connection with the Company’s previously announced intention to purchase shares in the Secondary Offering, the Company purchased 3,500,000 of the Offered Shares from the Underwriters in the Secondary Offering (the “Share Repurchase”), at a price per share of $14.52, which was equal to the price per share paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Shareholder in the Secondary Offering.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company, its executive officers and directors and the Selling Shareholder and Ultranav International ApS, our principal shareholders, have agreed that, for a period of 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of capital stock of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and incorporated by reference herein.
The Underwriters did not receive any discount or commission in respect of the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company from the Underwriters in the Share Repurchase. The Share Repurchase was conditioned upon the completion of the Secondary Offering, as well as the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and closed concurrently with the completion of the Secondary Offering.
