On September 30, 2026, TOP Ships Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Rubico Inc. (“Rubico”), a related party to the Company, to amend a previously disclosed related-party transaction.
The amendment relates to the balance owed to the Company in connection with Rubico’s acquisition of Roman Shark V Inc. (“Roman Shark V”) from the Company pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Rubico dated July 27, 2026. Roman Shark V is party to a shipbuilding contract dated February 3, 2026 with Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Limited and China Shipbuilding Trading Co., Ltd. for the construction of one 47,499 dwt MR chemical/product oil tanker.
The aggregate purchase price for Roman Shark V was $6.5 million, of which $2.8 million has been settled in cash. The outstanding balance of $3.7 million was originally due on September 30, 2026. That payment deadline was extended on that date to October 31, 2026 and may be settled in cash or, at Rubico’s election, in newly-issued shares of Rubico’s existing series of Series G Convertible Preferred Shares.
