• Reverse Stock Split Approved

  Shareholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-1,000, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board within three years. This follows a prior 1-for-7 reverse split in April 2026.

• Nasdaq Compliance at Stake

  The reverse split is intended to address Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. With the stock at $1.67, a 1-for-1,000 split would theoretically raise the price to $1,670, but such extreme ratios often signal distress.

• Director Re-Elections

  Harry N. Vafias and George Xiradakis were re-elected as Class III directors for a three-year term expiring in 2029.

• Auditor Ratification

  Deloitte Certified Public Accountants, S.A. was ratified as the company's independent auditor for the coming year.

At the annual meeting, shareholders approved a reverse stock split with a ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-1,000, granting the board broad discretion to execute within three years. This move is critical for addressing Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement after the stock slipped to $1.67. While the vote also covered director re-elections and auditor ratification, the reverse split is the market-moving item — it signals that the company is willing to drastically shrink its share count to maintain its listing, which could offer short-term price support but often precedes further declines post-split.
