Where to Find Additional Information
The Company is a foreign private issuer. As such, its proxy statement and other proxy materials with respect to the proposed acquisition will not be subject to preliminary review and comment by the SEC. The Company’s proxy statement with respect to the proposed acquisition will contain risk factor disclosure alerting its shareholders to the fact that its proxy materials have not been reviewed by the SEC and may not have all of the material disclosures required to be included under the SEC’s rules. It is, however, the intent of the Company to provide to its shareholders proxy materials with respect to the proposed acquisition that meet the form and content requirements of Schedule 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company has filed with the SEC a proxy statement in connection with the proposed vessel purchases described herein. Shareholders are urged to carefully read the proxy statement and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available, because they will contain important information about the Company and the proposed vessel purchases. Copies of the proxy statement and other documents filed by the Company will be available at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Copies of such filings can also be obtained, without charge, by directing a request to Oceanaut, Inc., 17th Km National Road Athens-Lamia & Finikos Street, 145 64 Nea Kifisia, Athens, Greece.
