ISSUER FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS
Initial Fleet Financing
To the extent that the amount of net proceeds we receive from this offering is less than the estimated amount in the preliminary prospectus to which this free writing prospectus relates, we will need to draw down amounts under our unsecured credit facility with Paragon Shipping to fund the acquisition of our Initial Fleet. This would increase our interest expense, reduce our operating cash flow available to make dividend payments and reduce the availability of borrowing capacity under this unsecured credit facility.
