PROPOSAL THREE

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMMON SHARES

General

The Board has approved and is hereby soliciting shareholder approval of an amendment to Article Fourth of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-fifteen (the "Amendment").  A vote FOR Proposal Three will constitute approval of the Amendment providing for the combination of any number of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares between and including two and fifteen into one Common Share and will grant the Board the authority to determine whether to implement the reverse stock split and, if so, to select which of the approved exchange ratios within that range will be implemented.  If the shareholders approve Proposal Three, the Board will have the authority, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, and without further action on the part of the shareholders, to select one of the approved reverse stock split ratios and effect the approved reverse stock split by filing the Amendment with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands at any time after the approval of the Amendment.  The Amendment will not change the number of authorized shares that the Company may issue or the par value of the Common Shares.

The Board believes that shareholder approval of an exchange ratio range (rather than an exact exchange ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of the reverse stock split.  If shareholders approve Proposal Three, the reserve stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that the reverse stock split is in the Company's and the shareholders' best interests at that time.  In connection with any determination to effect the reverse stock split, the Board will set the time for such a split and select a specific exchange ratio within the range.  These determinations will be made by the Board with the intention to create the greatest marketability of the Common Shares based upon prevailing market conditions at that time.

The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed, and abandon, the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing this proposal is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The amendment that will effect the reverse stock split will be, by its terms, effective as of the fifth business day after filing or such other date as the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands shall determine. The form of the proposed amendment to Article Fourth of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A.

Purpose and Background of the Reverse Split

The purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share trading price of the Common Shares.  The Board intends to effect the proposed reverse stock split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of Common Shares outstanding is likely to improve the trading price for the Common Shares, and only if the implementation of a reverse stock split is determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company believes that a number of institutional investors and investment funds are reluctant to invest, and in some cases may be prohibited from investing, in lower-priced stocks and that brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients.  By effecting a reverse stock split, the Company believes it may be able to raise its Common Share price to a level where its Common Shares could be viewed more favorably by potential investors.

Other investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower-priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for lower-priced stocks.  A higher stock price after a reverse stock split could alleviate this concern.

The NASDAQ Capital Market has several listing criteria that companies must satisfy in order to maintain their listing.  One of these criteria is that the Common Shares have a minimum bid price that is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share, and if the Company fails to maintain such $1.00 minimum bid price for a period of 30 consecutive business days, under NASDAQ rules, the Company would have to regain compliance during the applicable grace period.  On May 18, 2017, the Company received written notification from the NASDAQ, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for 30 consecutive business days, from April 5, 2017 to May 17, 2017, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until November 14, 2017. The Company believes that by effecting a reverse stock split, it will help stabilize the price of the Common Shares to regain compliance with the listing requirement.

The combination of continuing to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the lower transaction costs and increased interest from institutional investors and investment funds could have the effect of improving the trading liquidity of the Common Shares.

There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if implemented, will achieve any of the desired results.  There also can be no assurance that the price per share of the Common Shares immediately after the reverse stock split, if implemented, will increase proportionately with the reverse stock split, or that any increase will be sustained for any period of time.

Procedure for Exchange of Stock Certificates

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, shareholders holding Common Shares in physical certificate form will be sent a letter of transmittal from the Company notifying them that the reverse stock split has been effected. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how shareholders should surrender to the Company's exchange agent certificates representing pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares. The Company expects that its transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of share certificates. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Shareholders holding shares in book-entry form with the transfer agent need not take any action to receive post-split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable.  If a shareholder is entitled to post-split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the shareholder's address of record indicating the number of Common Shares held following the reverse stock split.

Upon the reverse stock split, the Company intends to treat shares held by shareholders in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names.  Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding shares in "street name".  However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures from those that apply to registered shareholders for processing the reverse stock split and making payment for fractional shares.  If a shareholder holds shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, shareholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be created or issued in connection with the reverse stock split.  Shareholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-split shares not evenly divisible by the number of pre-split shares for which each post-split share is to be exchanged, will be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing such shares or, in the case of non-certificated shares, such proof of ownership as required by the exchange agent, to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the split as adjusted for the reverse stock split as appropriate or, if such price is not available, a price determined by the Board. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment thereof as described herein.

Required Vote.  Approval of Proposal Three requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock eligible to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Effect of abstentions.  Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST approval of Proposal Three.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMMON SHARES AND THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.  UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH APPROVAL UNLESS A CONTRARY VOTE IS SPECIFIED.

SOLICITATION

The cost of preparing and soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company.  Solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but Shareholders may be solicited by telephone, e-mail, or personal contact.

OTHER MATTERS

No other matters are expected to be presented for action at the Meeting.  Should any additional matter come before the Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons named in the proxy.

August 10, 2017

Athens, Greece

EXHIBIT A

If Proposal Three is adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting, Article Fourth of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will be amended to include the following language in order to give effect to the reverse split of the Company's Common Stock.

"Effective with the commencement of business on [___________] [the fifth business day after filing or such other date as the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands shall determine], the Company has effected a [whole number between 2 and 15 to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors] to 1 reverse stock split as to its issued and outstanding common stock, pursuant to which the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock shall decrease from [________] to [________] as adjusted for the cancellation of fractional shares.  The reverse stock split shall not change the number of registered shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue or the par value of the common stock.  The stated capital of the Company is hereby reduced from $__________ to $__________ as adjusted for the cancellation of the fractional shares and the amount of $___________ as adjusted for the cancellation of fractional shares is allocated to surplus".
