On September 13, 2023, N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp.

As described in the Proposal Letter, the Offeror expects that the Issuer will appoint a special committee of independent directors to consider its proposal and make a recommendation to the Issuer’s board of directors. The Offeror will not move forward with the transaction unless it is approved by such a special committee.
No assurances can be given that a transaction will be consummated. The Proposal Letter provides that no legally binding obligation with respect to a transaction will exist unless and until mutually acceptable definitive documentation has been executed and delivered with respect thereto.
The Reporting Persons do not intend to update the Schedule 13D by making further disclosure regarding the subject matter of the Proposal Letter until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable securities laws.
The foregoing description of the Proposal Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposal Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
