- The Company's strong second quarter results, coupled with the
repayment of debt, have resulted in the Company's net debt position
decreasing by $228.8 million from $3.1 billion at March 31, 2020 to
$2.9 billion at August 5, 2020.
- The Company is in discussions with a group of financial
institutions to refinance the existing debt on eight of its vessels
which, if consummated, is expected to increase the Company’s
liquidity by an additional $80 million, after the repayment of
existing debt. These refinancings are expected to be agreed
in the next few months, and the drawdowns are expected to occur
before the end of 2020.
- In July 2020, the Company repurchased $13.8
million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes
due 2022 at an average price
of $882.23 per $1,000 principal amount,
or $12.2 million.
- In May 2020, the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes due May 2020
matured and the outstanding principal balance of $53.8 million was
repaid in full. Subsequently in May 2020, the Company issued
$28.1 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior unsecured
notes due June 30, 2025 (the "Senior Notes due 2025") in an
underwritten public offering. This amount includes $3.1
million related to the partial exercise of the underwriters' option
to purchase additional Senior Notes due 2025 under the same terms
and conditions. The aggregate net proceeds were approximately
$26.5 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering
expenses.
- In May 2020, the Company executed a credit facility for up to
$225.0 million with a group of European financial institutions (the
"2020 $225.0 Million Credit Facility"). The Company drew
$101.2 million from this facility in June 2020, and the proceeds
were used to refinance the existing debt on four LR2s that were
previously financed under the ABN AMRO Credit Facility, which was
scheduled to mature during the third quarter of 2020. The
remaining availability under this credit facility is expected to be
used to refinance the existing debt on five of the Company's
vessels and scrubbers on two LR2s.
- In May 2020, the Company executed an agreement to upsize its
$179.2 million credit facility with ING Bank N.V. to $251.4
million. The upsized portion of this facility was fully drawn
in May 2020, and the proceeds were used to refinance the existing
debt on five vessels, which were previously financed under the
KEXIM Credit Facility.
- Based upon the commitments received to date, which include the
remaining availability under the 2020 $225.0 Million Credit
Facility and certain financing transactions that have been
previously announced, the Company expects to raise approximately
$56 million of aggregate additional liquidity (after the repayment
of existing debt) once all of the agreements are closed and
drawn. These drawdowns are expected to occur at varying
points in the future as several of these financings are tied to
scrubber installations on the Company’s vessels.
- In April 2020, the Company reached an agreement with its
counterparty to postpone the purchase and installation of scrubbers
on 19 of its vessels. The installation of these
scrubbers is now expected to begin not earlier than
2021.
Diluted Weighted Number of
Shares
Diluted earnings per share is determined using
the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company assumes
that its Convertible Notes due 2022, which were issued in May and
July 2018, were converted into common shares at the beginning of
each period and the interest and non-cash amortization expense
associated with these notes of $3.8 million and $7.6 million,
respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
were not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this
calculation are anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30,
2020, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares were
54,827,479 and 54,747,345, respectively. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's diluted weighted
average number of shares were 56,318,815 and 56,525,701 (which
includes the potentially dilutive impact of unvested shares of
restricted stock and excludes the impact of the Convertible Notes
due 2022), respectively, and 61,593,958 and 61,801,095,
respectively, under the if-converted method. Given the
Company's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,
earnings per diluted share were calculated under the if-converted
method as the result of this calculation was dilutive.
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Since the beginning of calendar year 2020, the
outbreak of COVID-19 that originated in China and that has spread
to most developed nations of the world has resulted in the
implementation of numerous actions taken by governments and
governmental agencies in an attempt to mitigate the spread of the
virus. These measures have resulted in a significant
reduction in global economic activity and extreme volatility in the
global financial and commodities markets (including oil).
While the reduction of economic activity
significantly reduced global demand for oil and refined petroleum
products, the extreme volatility in the oil markets and the steep
contango that developed in the prices of oil and refined petroleum
products resulted in record increases in spot TCE rates as an
abundance arbitrage and floating storage opportunities opened
up. These conditions persisted for most of the second quarter
of 2020 but began to abate in June 2020 as the underlying oil
markets stabilized.
The Company expects that the future impact
of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty in the demand
for oil and refined petroleum products will continue to cause
volatility in the commodities markets. The scale and duration
of the impact of these factors remain unknowable but could have a
material impact on our earnings, cash flow and financial condition
for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. An estimate of the impact on
the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition cannot be made at this time.
$250 Million Securities Repurchase
Program
In May 2015, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized a Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an
aggregate of $250 million of the Company's securities which, in
addition to its common shares, currently consist of its Senior
Notes due 2025 (NYSE: SBBA), which were issued in May 2020, and
Convertible Notes due 2022, which were issued in May and July
2018.
In July 2020, the Company repurchased $13.8
million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes
due 2022 at an average price
of $882.23 per $1,000 principal amount,
or $12.2 million. No other securities were repurchased
under this program during the second quarter of 2020 and through
the date of this press release.
As of the date hereof, the Company has
repurchased a total of $140.6 million of its securities under the
Securities Repurchase Program and has the authority to purchase up
to an additional $109.4 million of its securities. The Company may
repurchase its securities in the open market, at times and prices
that are considered to be appropriate by the Company, but is not
obligated under the terms of the Securities Repurchase Program to
repurchase any of its securities.
At the Market Offering
Program
In June 2020, the Company sold an aggregate of
137,067 of its common shares at an average price of $18.79 per
share for aggregate net proceeds of $2.6 million under its
previously announced “at the market” offering program pursuant to
which the Company may sell up to $100 million of its
common shares. There is $97.4 million of remaining
availability under this program as of August 5, 2020.

(1) In April 2020, the Company drew $3.1 million from its
upsized $35.7 million loan facility to partially finance the
purchase and installation of scrubbers on two vessels. The
upsized portion of this facility matures in June 2021, bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% per annum and is expected
to be repaid in equal quarterly installments of approximately $0.1
million per vessel, with a balloon payment due at maturity.
(2) In April 2020, the Company drew $1.4
million from its Hamburg Commercial Bank Credit Facility to
partially finance the purchase and installation of a scrubber on
one of its vessels. This drawdown reflects the remaining
availability under this facility. All tranches (including
those previously drawn) of the Hamburg Commercial Bank Credit
Facility mature in November 2024, bear interest at LIBOR plus a
margin of 2.25% per annum and are expected to be repaid in equal
quarterly installments of approximately $0.8 million in aggregate,
with a balloon payment due at maturity.
(3) In May 2020, the Company executed an
agreement to upsize its $179.2 million credit facility with ING
Bank N.V. to $251.4 million. This upsized portion of this
facility of $72.1 million was fully drawn in May 2020, and the
proceeds were used to refinance the existing debt on five vessels
which were previously financed under the KEXIM Credit Facility. The
Company repaid $60.2 million on the KEXIM Credit Facility as part
of this transaction.
The upsized loan has a final maturity of five
years from the initial drawdown date, and bears interest at LIBOR
plus a margin. The upsized portion of the loan is scheduled to be
repaid in equal quarterly installments of approximately $2.1
million per quarter, in aggregate, for the first twelve
installments and approximately $2.0 million per quarter, in
aggregate, thereafter, with a balloon payment due at maturity. The
remaining terms and conditions, including financial covenants, are
similar to the Company’s existing credit facilities.
In July 2020, the Company drew an aggregate of
$3.3 million under the scrubber portion of the facility to
partially finance the purchase and installation of scrubbers on two
MRs and one LR2 that are currently part of this arrangement.
The drawdowns of approximately $1.1 million per vessel bear
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.95%. One MR will be
repaid in seven quarterly principal payments of approximately $0.1
million with the balance due upon maturity in June 2022. The
other two vessels will be repaid in two quarterly principal
payments of approximately $0.7 million in aggregate with the
balance due upon maturity in March 2021.
(4) In May 2020, the Company drew an
aggregate of $10.1 million under the scrubber portion of its 2018
CMB Lease Financing to partially finance the purchase and
installation of scrubbers on the six MRs that are currently part of
this arrangement. The upsized portion of the lease financing
has a final maturity of 3.5 years after the first drawdown, bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.10% per annum and will be
repaid in quarterly principal payments of approximately $0.1
million per vessel.
(5) In May 2020, the Company's Senior
Unsecured Notes due May 2020 matured and the outstanding principal
balance of $53.8 million was repaid in full.
(6) In May 2020, the Company issued $28.1
million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 in an
underwritten offering. This amount includes $3.1 million
related to the partial exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional Senior Notes due 2025 under the same terms and
conditions. The aggregate net proceeds were approximately
$26.5 million after deducting underwriting commissions and
expenses.
(7) In May 2020, the Company executed the
2020 $225.0 Million Credit Facility with a group of European
financial institutions. In June 2020 the Company drew $101.2
million from this facility to refinance the existing debt on four
LR2s that were previously financed under the ABN AMRO Credit
Facility (which was scheduled to mature during the third quarter of
2020). The Company repaid $87.7 million on the ABN AMRO Credit
Facility as part of this transaction. The remaining
availability under this credit facility is expected to be used to
refinance the existing debt on five of the Company's vessels and
scrubbers on two LR2s.
This facility has a final maturity of five years
from the closing date of the loan, bears interest at LIBOR plus a
margin, and is expected to be repaid in equal quarterly
installments of approximately $0.6 million per vessel per quarter
with a balloon payment due at maturity. The remaining terms
and conditions, including financial covenants, are similar to the
Company’s existing credit facilities.
(8) In June 2020, the Company drew $24.9
million under its BNPP Sinosure Credit Facility to partially
finance the purchase and installation of scrubbers on 13 vessels.
This borrowing is collateralized by one of its LR2 product tankers
which was previously financed under the KEXIM Credit
Facility. The Company repaid the outstanding debt of $17.8
million on the KEXIM Credit Facility related to this vessel as part
of this transaction.
A total of approximately $67.0 million has been
drawn and there is $67.0 million of remaining availability under
the BNPP Sinosure Credit Facility. Each drawdown is split
evenly into two facilities, (i) a commercial facility (the
"Commercial Facility"), and (ii) a Sinosure facility (the "Sinosure
Facility"), which is being funded by the lenders under the
Commercial Facility and insured by the China Export & Credit
Insurance Corporation ("Sinosure"). The BNPP Sinosure
Credit Facility is split into 70 tranches each of which represent
the lesser of 85% of the purchase and installation price of 70
scrubbers, or $1.9 million per scrubber (not to exceed 65% of the
fair market value of the collateral vessels). The Sinosure
Facility and the Commercial Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a
margin of 1.80% and 2.80% per annum, respectively. The
remaining availability under this loan facility is available for en
bloc drawdowns on September 15, 2020, December 15, 2020 and March
15, 2021. The Sinosure Facility is expected to be repaid in
10 equal semi-annual installments and the Commercial Facility is
expected to be repaid at the final maturity date of the facility,
or October 2025.
(9) In June 2020, the Company drew $3.2
million from its upsized ABN/SEB Credit Facility to partially
finance the purchase and installation of scrubbers on two
vessels. The upsized portion of this facility matures in June
2023, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.60% per annum and
is expected to be repaid in equal quarterly installments of
approximately $0.1 million per vessel, with a balloon payment due
at maturity.
In July 2020, the Company drew an additional
$1.6 million to partially finance the purchase and installation of
a scrubber on one of the vessels covered by the facility under the
same terms.
(10) In April 2020, the Company executed
agreements to increase the borrowing capacities of several of its
lease financing arrangements by up to $1.9 million per vessel, the
proceeds of which are to be used to partially finance the purchase
and installation of scrubbers on certain vessels. Three
vessels are under the BCFL Lease Financing (LR2s) arrangement, five
vessels are under the BCFL Lease Financing (MRs) arrangement, four
vessels are under the $116.0 Million Lease Financing arrangement
and three vessels are under the IFRS-16 - Leases - 3 MR arrangement
for an aggregate of fifteen vessels. Each agreement will be
for a fixed term of three years at the rate of up to $1,910 per
vessel per day to be allocated to principal and interest.
In July 2020, the Company drew an aggregate of
$9.4 million on these agreements to partially finance the purchase
and installation of scrubbers on five vessels as follows: (i) $1.8
million on one vessel under the BCFL Lease Financing (LR2s)
arrangement; (ii) $1.9 million on one vessel under the BCFL
Lease Financing (MRs) arrangement; and (iii) $5.7 million on three
vessels under the $116.0 Million Lease Financing
arrangement.
Set forth below are the estimated expected
future principal repayments on the Company's outstanding
indebtedness as of June 30, 2020, which includes principal
amounts due under secured credit facilities, Convertible Notes due
2022, lease financing arrangements, the Senior Notes due 2025, and
lease liabilities under IFRS 16 (which also include actual payments
made during the second quarter of 2020 and through August 5,
2020):

Explanation of Variances on the Second
Quarter of 2020 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of
2019
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the
Company recorded net income of $143.9 million compared to net loss
of $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The
following were the significant changes between the two periods:
- TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage
expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is
included herein because it is a standard shipping industry
performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period
changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes
in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and
pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and
management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

|
- TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased
by $193.9 million to $343.3 million, from $149.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019. Overall average TCE revenue per
day increased to $29,693 per day during the three months ended June
30, 2020, from $14,348 per day during the three months ended June
30, 2019.During the second quarter of 2020, travel restrictions and
other preventive measures to control the spread of the COVID-19
pandemic resulted in a precipitous decline in oil demand. A
lack of corresponding production and refinery cuts resulted in a
supply glut of crude oil and refined petroleum products, which was
exacerbated by extreme oil price volatility brought on from the
Russia-Saudi Arabia oil price war. This oversupply of petroleum
products resulted in a steep contango in oil prices which led to an
abundance of arbitrage opportunities of both crude and refined
petroleum products and record floating storage. These market
conditions, which began in March 2020, drove spot TCE rates to
record levels resulting in the second quarter of 2020 being the
Company's most profitable quarter in its history. In June
2020, the oil markets began to stabilize as global economies slowly
re-opened, thus limiting arbitrage opportunities and resulting in
the drawdown of accumulated inventories. Consequently,
trading volumes and spot TCE rates decreased towards the end of the
second quarter and have remained at lower levels through the date
of this press release.The increase in TCE revenue in the second
quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2019 was also
affected by an increase in the number of the Company's vessels to
an average of 136.8 operating vessels during the three months ended
June 30, 2020 from an average of 119.0 operating vessels during the
three months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily the result of
the Company's acquisition of leasehold interests in 19 vessels (11
MRs, four LR2s, and four MRs then under construction) from
Trafigura Maritime Logistics Pte. Ltd. in September 2019 (the
"Trafigura Transaction"). Three of the MRs acquired that were then
under construction were delivered in the first quarter of
2020.
- Vessel operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020
increased by $11.0 million to $79.8 million, from $68.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was
primarily due to the Trafigura Transaction. Three of the MRs
acquired that were then under construction were delivered in the
first quarter of 2020 and thus operated for the entirety of the
second quarter of 2020. Vessel operating costs per day
remained largely consistent, increasing slightly to $6,407 per day
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $6,351 per day for
the three months ended June 30, 2019.
- Depreciation expense - owned or sale leaseback vessels for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $3.7 million to $48.1
million, from $44.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2019. The increase was due to the Company's drydock, scrubber
and ballast water treatment system installations that have taken
place over the preceding 12-month period. Depreciation
expense in future periods is expected to increase as the Company
continues the installation of ballast water treatment systems
and/or scrubbers on certain of its vessels in 2020 and beyond. The
Company expects to depreciate the majority of the cost of this
equipment over each vessel's remaining useful life.
- Depreciation expense - right of use assets for the three months
ended June 30, 2020 increased by $7.7 million to $13.4 million from
$5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Depreciation expense - right of use assets reflects the
straight-line depreciation expense recorded under IFRS 16 -
Leases. Right of use asset depreciation expense increased as
a result of the Trafigura Transaction. Three of the MRs
acquired that were then under construction were delivered in the
first quarter of 2020 and all vessels acquired as part of the
Trafigura Transaction are being accounted for as right of use
assets under IFRS 16. The right of use asset depreciation for
these vessels is approximately $0.2 million per MR per month and
$0.3 million per LR2 per month. In addition to the leasehold
interests acquired as part of the Trafigura Transaction, the
Company also had three MRs and seven Handymax leases that were
accounted for under IFRS 16 during the second quarter of
2020. The bareboat charters on two of these Handymax vessels
expired in June of 2020 and a third expired in July 2020.
- General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, increased by $3.2 million to $18.7 million, from
$15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This
increase was primarily driven by compensation expenses, including
an increase in restricted stock amortization. General and
administrative expenses in future periods are expected to reflect a
similar run-rate to that which was incurred during the first six
months of 2020.
- Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased by $8.2 million to $39.1 million, from $47.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was
primarily driven by significant decreases in LIBOR rates, which
underpin all of the Company's variable rate borrowings, and which
have collapsed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

See Non-IFRS Measures section below. |
(2) |
Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in
terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is
calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and
port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time
charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the
period. Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned,
finance leased or chartered-in less the number of days the vessel
is off-hire for drydock and repairs. |
(3) |
Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs
divided by the number of operating days during the period.
Operating days are the total number of available days in a period
with respect to the owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in
vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and
days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only
applicable to our owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in
vessels, not our time chartered-in vessels. |

In March 2019, we entered into a new bareboat charter-in agreement
on a previously bareboat chartered-in vessel. The term of the
agreement is for two years at a bareboat rate of $6,300 per day.
The agreement is expected to expire on March 31, 2021. |
(6 |
) |
In April 2017, we sold and leased back this vessel, on a bareboat
basis, for a period of up to eight years for $8,800 per day.
The sales price was $29.0 million per vessel, and we have the
option to purchase this vessel beginning at the end of the fifth
year of the agreement through the end of the eighth year of the
agreement, at market-based prices. Additionally, a deposit of $4.35
million per vessel was retained by the buyer and will either be
applied to the purchase price of the vessel if a purchase option is
exercised or refunded to us at the expiration of the
agreement. |

The leasehold interest in this vessel was acquired from Trafigura
in September 2019 as part of the Trafigura Transaction and this
vessel is currently under construction at Hyundai-Vietnam
Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. with delivery expected in the third quarter
of 2020. |

agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the
payment of dividends and other factors.
The Company's dividends paid during 2019 and 2020 were as

$250 Million Securities Repurchase
Program
In May 2015, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized a Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an
aggregate of $250 million of the Company's securities which, in
addition to its common shares, currently consist of its Senior
Notes due 2025 (NYSE: SBBA), which were issued in May 2020, and
Convertible Notes due 2022, which were issued in May and July
2018.
In July 2020, the Company repurchased $13.8
million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Notes due
2022 at an average price
of $882.23 per $1,000 principal amount,
or $12.2 million. No other securities were repurchased
under this program during the second quarter of 2020 and through
the date of this press release.

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS
Financial Information
This press release describes time charter
equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss,
and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance
with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are
presented in this press release as we believe that they provide
investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our
lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the
Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance.
These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from,
as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of
TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings per
share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to
investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our
lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the
evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the
Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with
adjusted earnings per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA
are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that
of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s
definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with
adjusted earnings per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA
may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping
industry or other industries.
TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is
reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances
on the Second Quarter of 2020 Financial Results Compared to the
Second Quarter of 2019". The Company has not provided a
reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most
directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not
available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may
constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business.
Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and
underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take
advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The
words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would,"
"could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking
statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press
release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
limitation, management’s examination of historical operating
trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data
available from third parties. Although management believes that
these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are
beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically
declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other
important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future
capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies,
economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses,
future prospects, business and management strategies for the
management, length and severity of the ongoing novel coronavirus
(COVID-19) outbreak, including its effect on demand for petroleum
products and the transportation thereof, expansion and growth of
the Company’s operations, risks relating to the integration of
assets or operations of entities that it has or may in the future
acquire and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and
other benefits of such acquisitions may not be realized within
expected timeframes or at all, the failure of counterparties to
fully perform their contracts with the Company, the strength of
world economies and currencies, general market conditions,
including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes
in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s
operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and
insurance costs, the market for the Company’s vessels, availability
of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance,
ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such
financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and
regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential
liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and
international political conditions, potential disruption of
shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels
breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors. Please
see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete
discussion of certain of these and other risks and
uncertainties.
