Comment for Type of Reporting Person: (1) The figures provided for "Shared Voting Power", "Shared Dispositive Power" and "Aggregate Amount Beneficially Owned by each Reporting Person" represent 6,905,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer, par value $0.01 per share ("common shares"), and 794,053 common shares issuable upon the conversion of 482,766 warrants, in each case held by F.Laeisz GmbH. The warrants are convertible at a current conversion rate of 1.64480, which includes a "Bonus Share Fraction," as set forth and described in the Issuer's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2025 (the"Annual Report"), which is readjusted periodically in conjunction with the record date for dividends or distributions on the Issuer's common shares. This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13G originally filed on October 18, 2024, is being filed to reflect (i) the aforementioned readjusted conversion rate and (ii) the acquisition of additional common shares since the filing of the original Schedule 13G.
(2) The percentage calculation for "Percent of Class Represented by Amount in Row (9)" is based on a denominator equal to (a) 115,767,861 common shares outstanding as of March 20,2025, as reflected in the Annual Report plus (b) 482,766 warrants outstanding (multiplied by the conversion rate), in each case held by F. Laeisz GmbH.
