MAROUSSI, ATHENS, GREECE, Sep 21, 2015 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Euroseas Ltd. an owner and operator of drybulk and container carrier vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk and containerized cargoes, announced today the results of its previously announced rights offering to shareholders of the Company.
The rights offering expired on September 17, 2015, and shareholders subscribed for 2,343,335 shares of common stock at a price of $4.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $10.55 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the rights offering to renew and expand its fleet by taking delivery of its drybulk vessels currently under construction, and for general corporate purposes.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas, commented: "We are very pleased to have completed our shareholders' rights offering covering 54% of the maximum offering amount in a very challenging capital markets and shipping markets environment where during the last few days our share price traded even below the offering price. We would like to thank our shareholders, including the Pittas family, who participated in this offering for their trust and support to the Company's strategy. We look forward to using the proceeds of this offering along with other means and funds at our disposal to complete our newbuilding program. We believe that the renewal of our fleet at this low point in the drybulk market will be beneficial for the Company and all its shareholders."
