Merger Agreement
Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence
of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each common share (the “Shares”)
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will, by virtue of the Merger, be canceled and converted into the right to receive $5.80 per Share, without
interest, except for any shares that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, are held by (i) the Rolling Shareholders, (ii) any of Bruce Blythe, Jean Haramis, Monhegetti Transport Inc., Dimitris Kolias and Stray Shipping
Investments (the “Additional Rolling Shareholders”), (iii) any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (iv) the Company as treasury shares or (v) holders of Shares who have properly
exercised their appraisal rights with respect to such Shares (the “Transaction”).
Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, each Rolling Shareholder (other than Blenheim Holdings Ltd. and Olympic LNG Investments Ltd.) and each Additional Rolling Shareholder intend to contribute its Shares to BSIH
such that immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, BSIH will directly hold 10,660,198 Shares. Blenheim Holdings Ltd. and Olympic LNG Investments Ltd. will continue to directly hold 30,800,000 Shares and 11,164,904 Shares,
respectively.
Promptly after consummation of the Transaction, the Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The Company’s preference shares (“Preference Shares”) will remain outstanding and continue to trade on the NYSE immediately following the completion of the Transaction.
The Merger Agreement contains a number of conditions that must be fulfilled to consummate the Transaction. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following conditions: (a) the affirmative
vote by (i) the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Shares and Preference Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class (and with each Preference Share carrying a single vote) and (ii) the holders of a majority of
the Shares held by the holders of the issued and outstanding Shares, other than GEPIF, the Rolling Shareholders, the Additional Rolling Shareholders and their respective affiliates, that are present at the special meeting of shareholders that will be
held in connection with the Transaction, (b) obtaining certain specified third-party consents, (c) the absence of any judgment enacted, issued, entered, amended or enforced by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction restraining or
otherwise making illegal, preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction and (d) the employment, retention or engagement by the Company of Peter G. Livanos in substantially the same capacity as prior to the date of the Merger
Agreement.
The Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to the approval of the Transaction by the Company’s shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, each as described in the
immediately preceding paragraph.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein
by reference.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Parent, the Company and the Rolling Shareholders entered into the Rollover Agreement. Pursuant to the Rollover Agreement, (a) each Rolling Shareholder has
agreed to vote or cause to be voted any Shares and Preference Shares beneficially owned by such Rolling Shareholder in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement, the Transaction and any other actions contemplated thereby for which approval of the
Company’s shareholders is requested and (b) each Rolling Shareholder has agreed that their Shares and Preference Shares will remain outstanding as shares and preference shares, respectively, of the Surviving Company following consummation of the
Transaction.
In addition, at the consummation of the Transaction, the Company, GEPIF, Blenheim Holdings Ltd., BSIH and Olympic LNG Investments Ltd. agreed to enter into a shareholders’ agreement with respect to the governance of the
Company following the consummation of the Transaction, a form of which is attached as Exhibit B to the Rollover Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement and following
the consummation of the Transaction, the board of directors of the Company will be reduced to five persons, and the Rolling Shareholders that are party to the Shareholders’ Agreement will appoint a majority of the Company’s board of directors in
accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement. In addition, Peter G. Livanos, following consummation of the Transaction, will hold a proxy to vote the Shares of the Rolling Shareholders under the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement and,
as a result of holding such proxy, will control more than a majority of the voting stock of the Surviving Company and will control the right to appoint a majority of the board of the Surviving Company. Following consummation of the Transaction, the
Issuer’s bye-laws will be amended and restated to be in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement.
