EuroDry Ltd. (NASDAQ: EDRY, the “Company” or “EuroDry”), an owner
and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne
transportation for drybulk cargoes, announced today that it has
signed an agreement to sell M/V Pantelis, a 74,020 dwt drybulk
vessel, built in 2000, for approximately $9.7 million. The vessel
is expected to be delivered to its new owners, an unaffiliated
third party, by mid-October 2022.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of
EuroDry commented: “Today, we are announcing our agreement
to sell our M/V Pantelis, one of the eldest Panamax-size bulkers of
our fleet. This sale is part of our effort to focus on more modern,
eco-built, fuel-efficient vessels and is consistent with our
overall ESG strategy. As a result of this sale, we expect to book a
gain of approximately $3 million, or about $1.00 per share, when
the transaction is completed during October 2022. The net proceeds
of this sale will significantly increase our near-term liquidity
and enable us to quickly capitalize on accretive investment
opportunities in the market, when they arise, for the benefit of
our shareholders.”
