This prospectus supplement provides the full legal framework for the highly dilutive capital raises previously announced in recent 6-K filings. It confirms the sale of 3,492,273 common shares, which represents an over 600% increase in outstanding shares, severely diluting existing shareholders. Furthermore, it details the terms of the Series G Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, which can be issued to finance a related-party tanker acquisition. These preferred shares feature highly unfavorable conversion terms (as low as 80% of VWAP with a $0.60 floor), superior voting rights (1,000 common shares per preferred share, capped at 19.99%), and a high 15% annual dividend. This aggressive financing strategy, undertaken while the stock trades near its 52-week low, indicates a desperate need for capital and will likely continue to exert significant downward pressure on the common stock. Investors should be aware of the substantial dilution and the unfavorable terms of the new securities.
