$31.65 Million – Secured Term Loan Facility
The Company has agreed to terms, subject to the signing of definitive documentation, with CREDIT SUISSE AG, pursuant to which, the repayment instalments shall be deferred up until the maturity of the loan in May 2017 and the covenants under the loan agreement shall be waived up until the maturity of the loan, subject to certain other conditions, one of which is connected to the expiration of the current employment of Box Emma, having a latest redelivery date of January 2017.
Mr. Michael Bodouroglou, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented: "We are very pleased to have agreed in principal with our lenders the deferment of the repayment instalments, as these terms illustrate the ongoing support of our lenders and will enable us to operate our vessels at lower fixed cost break-even rates. Provided that definitive agreements are executed and all conditions are fulfilled, the Company will not pay any instalments under all of its facilities until the first quarter of 2017."
