future performance or results, and their negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and other factors
affecting the Company. They are not historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future performance.
Where the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed
to have a reasonable basis. However, because these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those

are not certain to occur as described or at all.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, the strength of the world economy and currencies including central bank policies intention to combat overall inflation and rising interest rates, the general domestic and international political conditions or events, including
“trade wars” and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including the end of the conflict, the highly cyclical natures of our business causing fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values caused by changes in supply vessels and
constructions of newbuilding’s and changes in “ton-mile” demand caused by changes in worldwide OPEC petroleum production, consumption and storage, the duration and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on the demand for
petroleum products and the seaborne transportation of clean products, the interruption or failure of our information technology and communication system including cyber-attacks, the increased cost of capital or limited access to funding due to EU
taxonomy and the potential liability from future litigation and future costs due to environmental damage and vessel collision, the potential conflicts of interest involving our board of directors and senior management.
