Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diana Shipping is the record holder of 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 3,649,772 Shares as of the date hereof, representing 49% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares after giving effect to the limitations included in the Series C Preferred Stock statement of designation which limits the conversion of any such Series C Preferred Stock to the extent it would result in the Reporting Person becoming the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding Shares. The Reporting Person is not the direct owner of any Shares of the Issuer as of the date hereof. As a result of such ownership limitations, Diana Shipping has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 3,649,772 Shares and has the shared power to vote or direct the vote of 0 Shares.

Diana Shipping previously owned 13,157 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). Diana Shipping exercised its right to convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Issuer’s Shares in accordance with the statement of designation defining the rights, terms and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock. On June 9, 2023, Diana Shipping distributed all of the common shares issued upon the conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to its common shareholders (other than those electing to receive shares of Series D Preferred Stock) of record as of the distribution record date, on a pro rata basis. In connection with the distribution, Diana Shipping allowed its common shareholders of record to elect to receive the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock allocable to such shareholder instead of the Shares. 

(c.) Except as otherwise disclosed herein, no transactions in the Shares were effected by the Reporting Person during the past 60 days.

 

(d.) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

 

(e.) Not applicable.

The Reporting Person also owns 500,000 of additional preferred voting shares of the Issuer that convey the right to cast a number of votes for all matters on which shareholders of the Issuer may vote equal to up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by the Issuer’s shareholders on such matter, provided that to the extent such voting power, together with any affiliate of the Reporting Person, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of the Issuers’ shareholders, the number of votes shall be automatically reduced so that the Reporting Person’s aggregate voting power, together with its affiliates, is not more than 49%.
