1. Positive Industry Dynamics
Shifts in Global Refining Capacity Benefit the Product Tanker Trade
Overview
Key drivers of structural demand increases:
— New export refineries in Middle East / Asia
— US continues to enhance product trade pattern expansion with growing exports
— Refinery closures in traditional high consuming areas; Australia / Japan and Europe
— Shifting trade patterns resulting in ton-mile expansion
MR ton-mile demand should continue to increase more than MR Supply in 2015 and 2016
Long / medium term fundamentals should tighten MR utilization and lead to favorable tanker rates

The Benefits of Low Oil Prices
Overview
Lower oil prices driving increased cargo volumes in Q1 2015, while increasing profitability through both higher rates and lower voyage expenses
— Current average spot rates remain strong
Greater throughput in refining industry – US Gulf refineries operating at 90% utilization towards the end of February 2015 (1)
Oil price volatility causing increased oil trading arbitrage and overall MR product tanker demand
Increasing ship utilization:
— Oil price contango facilitating longer-haul product trades
— Could lead to port congestion
MR Tanker Rates Increasing as Oil Prices Decline(2)

Spot Market and Term Charter Rates Continue to Rise
Expanding US exports, Russian refinery upgrades, Mideast export refinery completions, Japanese/Australian refinery shutdowns, and European refinery closures provide a robust backdrop for expected increasing product tanker demand
According to leading industry analysts, MR Earnings are forecast to increase to $19,512/day and $20,249/day in 2015 and 2016, respectively(1)

| Compelling Growth Strategy |
Disciplined Plan to Expand from 8 to 28 Ships by 2017
Disciplined and strategic acquisition strategy is expected to lead to scale and operational efficiencies
– Successful execution of our vessel acquisition strategy would result in 28 MR product tankers by the fourth quarter of 2017(1)
– Addition of modern tonnage will increase fuel efficiency and trading flexibility while decreasing average age and opex
– The vessels in the acquisition strategy consist of 51,000 dwt (two vessels) and 50,300 dwt (18 vessels) MR product tankers built at major South Korean shipyards
– The two on-the-water acquisitions were built in 2007 and the two proposed secondhand purchases were built in 2013
– Financial structure and infrastructure provide platform for stable growth
