Ranking. The Series A Preferred Shares rank, with respect to
dividend distributions and distributions upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs (whether voluntary or involuntary), sale of substantially all of our assets, property or business, or a change of control of us (each,
a “Liquidation Event”), (i) senior to our common shares, our Series B Preferred Shares, our Series C Participating Preferred Shares and to any other class or series of our stock that may be established in the future that is not expressly
stated to be on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Shares in the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event (together with our common shares, the

•
|
Conversion Rights. Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares has the
right, subject to certain conditions, until July 15, 2032, to convert all (but not a portion) of the Series A Preferred Shares beneficially held by such holder into our common shares at the conversion rate then in effect. Each Series A
Preferred Share is convertible into the number of our common shares equal to the quotient of the aggregate stated amount of the Series A Preferred Shares converted plus any accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the lower of (i) $240.00
per common share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (i.e. in the event of capital reorganization, merger, stock dividend or other distribution of the Company’s assets, stock split or combination) (the “Pre-Determined Price”)
and (ii) the VWAP of our common shares over the five consecutive trading day period expiring on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of written notice of the conversion. The Pre-Determined Price is also subject to
adjustments in the event of an issuance of equity securities at a deemed price per share lower than the Pre-Determined Price then in effect. In such event, the Pre-Determined Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the effective
price of such issuance of equity securities. Our January 2025 offering and the issuance of common shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA would have triggered such an adjustment, however, in line with the terms outlined in the Statement
of Designation, as amended and restated, with respect to our Series A Preferred Shares, we entered into waiver agreements with the sole holder of our Series A Preferred Shares, pursuant to which all potential adjustments to the
Pre-Determined Price as a result of the January 2025 offering and the issuance of common shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA have been waived. The Series A Preferred Shares are otherwise not convertible into or exchangeable for
property or shares of any other series or class of our capital stock.
|
|
•
|
Voting Rights. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are
outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders required by law or by our amended and restated articles of incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Series A Preferred Shares at the
time outstanding, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment,
alteration or repeal of any provision of our amended and restated articles of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws that would alter or change the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely; (ii) the issuance of dividend parity stock if the accrued dividends on all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares through and including the most recently completed dividend period have not
been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment; (iii) any amendment or alteration of our amended and restated articles of incorporation to authorize or create, or increase the authorized
amount of, any senior stock; or (iv) any consummation of (x) a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Shares, (y) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity (whether or not a
corporation), or (z) a conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance of the Company into another entity or an entity organized under the laws of another jurisdiction, unless in each case (A) the Series A Preferred Shares remain
outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, or any such conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the Series A Preferred Shares are
converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (B) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences,
privileges and voting powers, limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and restrictions and limitations
thereof, of the Series A Preferred Shares immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole. The foregoing voting rights do not apply in connection with the creation or issuance of Series C Participating Preferred Shares of the
Company substantially in the form approved by the Board pursuant to the Rights Agreement (as defined below).
|
|
•
|
Dividends. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares are
cumulative and accrue, whether or not declared by our Board of Directors, however, such dividends are payable only when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares, to the extent declared,
shall be paid biannually, on each June 30 and December 31, payable in cash or in kind (in the form of additional Series A Preferred Shares) or in a combination thereof, at our option, accruing at the applicable dividend rate per annum on
the stated amount per Series A Preferred Share and on any unpaid accrued dividends. In each event of non-payment or payment in kind, the dividend rate then in effect shall increase by a factor of 1.33 (“Non-payment Rate Adjustment”) or
1.30 (“PIK Rate Adjustment”), respectively, from the day of such event onwards. On the day a previous non-payment is rectified by payment in cash, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment will cease to apply. If a previous non-payment is
rectified by payment in kind, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment will cease to apply and the PIK Rate Adjustment will be permanently applied instead. Partial non-payments, payments in kind or rectifications of previous non-payments,
will be treated proportionally.
|
|
•
|
Maturity/Redemption. The Series A Preferred Shares are perpetual,
non-redeemable and have no maturity date.
|
|
•
|
Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or other Liquidation Event, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Shares shall have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (plus accrued dividends to the date
fixed for payment of such amount (whether or not declared), and no more). A consolidation or merger of us with or into any other entity, individually or in a series of transactions, will not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of our affairs for this purpose. In the event that our assets available for distribution to holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and all liquidation parity stock are insufficient to permit payment of all required
amounts, our assets then remaining will be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative aggregate liquidation preferences. After payment of all required amounts to the
holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and all holders of liquidation preference parity stock, our remaining assets and funds will be distributed among the holders of our common shares and any other Junior Stock then
outstanding according to their respective rights.
|
|
•
|
No Preemptive Rights; No Sinking Fund. The holders of Series A
Preferred Shares do not have any preemptive rights. The Series A Preferred Shares will not be subject to any sinking fund or any other obligation of us for their repurchase or retirement.
|
|
•
|
Conversion Rights. The Series B Preferred Shares are not convertible
into our common shares.
|
|
•
|
Voting Rights. Each Series B Preferred Share has the voting power
of 1,000 common shares and counts for 1,000 votes for purposes of determining quorum at a meeting of shareholders, subject to adjustment to maintain a substantially identical voting interest in the Company following the (i) creation or
issuance of a new series of shares of the Company carrying more than one vote per share to be issued to any person other than holders of the Series B Preferred Shares, except for the creation (but not the issuance) of Series C
Participating Preferred Shares substantially in the form approved by the Board, without the prior affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares or (ii) issuance or approval of our common
shares pursuant to and in accordance with the Rights Agreement (as defined below). The holders of Series B Preferred Shares and the holders of our common shares shall vote together
|
|
•
|
Distributions. The Series B Preferred Shares have no dividend or
distribution rights, other than upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as described below. Also, if we declare or make any dividend or other distribution of voting securities of a subsidiary which we control to the holders of
our common shares by way of a spin off or other similar transaction, then, in each such case, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive preferred shares of the subsidiary whose voting securities are so
distributed with at least substantially similar rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions as those of the Series B Preferred Shares.
|
|
•
|
Maturity/Redemption. The Series B Preferred Shares are perpetual,
non-redeemable and have no maturity date.
|
|
•
|
Ranking, Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment on the same terms as, and rank pari-passu with, our common shares with respect thereto, up to an amount equal to the
par value of $0.001 per share Series B Preferred Share. Holders of shares of this Series will have no other rights to distributions upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
|
|

No Preemptive Rights; No Sinking Fund. Holders of the Series B

Item 8.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
|
I.
|
Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of Article VI of the amended and restated articles of incorporation of Icon Energy Corp. (the “Corporation”) provides as follows:
|
|
(1)
|
Any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act
(the “BCA”). If the BCA is amended hereafter to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent authorized by the BCA, as so amended. The Corporation shall pay in advance expenses a director or officer incurred while defending a civil or criminal proceeding, provided that the director or officer will repay the
amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under Section 6.2 of the amended and restated articles of
incorporation. Any repeal or modification of Article VI of the amended and restated articles of incorporation shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the
Corporation thereunder existing immediately prior the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
|
|
(2)
|
The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability by law or under the provisions of the amended and restated articles of incorporation.
|
|
II.
|
Section 60 of the Business Corporations Act of the Republic of the Marshall Islands provides as follows:
|
|
(1)
|
Actions not by or in right of the corporation. A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the bests interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
|
|
(2)

is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claims, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his or her
|
|
(3)
|
When director or officer successful. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) or (2) of this section, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
|
|
(4)
|
Payment of expenses in advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section.
|
|
(5)
|
Indemnification pursuant to other rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
|
|
(6)

section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most

prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of
