About the Company
Taylor Maritime Investments Limited is an internally managed
shipping company listed on the Premium Segment of the Official
List, its shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock
Exchange since May 2021. The Company specializes in the acquisition
and chartering of vessels in the Handysize and Supramax bulk
carrier segments of the global shipping sector. The Company invests
in a diversified portfolio of vessels which are primarily
second-hand and which, historically, have demonstrated average
yields in excess of the Company's target dividend yield of 8% p.a.
(on the Initial Issue Price). The shares offer a compelling and
differentiated investment opportunity with the aim of delivering
strong cashflow, stable income and potential for capital
growth.
The Company invests in high quality, Japanese built vessels
which are primarily second-hand and acquired at valuations below
long-term average prices and depreciated replacement cost. The
current portfolio numbers 28 vessels. The Company has a leading
position in the Handysize shipping sector and, thanks to versatile
geared vessels delivering necessity goods, provides an attractive,
defensible yield underpinned by zero long-term structural gearing,
financial discipline and an optimal balance of charter rates and
durations. It has a selective growth strategy focusing on accretive
opportunities to increase shareholder returns and recycle capital
efficiently.
The Company has announced an increased interim dividend of 2
cents per Ordinary Share paid on a quarterly basis, with a targeted
total NAV return of 10-12% per annum (net of expenses and fees but
excluding any tax payable by Shareholders) over the medium to
long-term. The Board approved a special dividend of 3.22 cents per
share in respect of the period to 31 March 2022 paid on 10 June
2022, which brought total dividends declared for the period from
IPO to 31 March 2022 to 8.47 US cents per share, representing a
dividend yield on the IPO price of approximately 10% on an
annualised basis. This reflected excess cash generation in what
continues to be a historically strong market and a desire to return
capital to shareholders in a timely manner.
Sustainability is at the heart of the way in which the Company
is managed and it is committed to achieving a long-term target of
zero carbon emissions by 2050. Substantial technological advances
are a key element of this for the broader shipping industry, with
near term incremental progress effected by initiatives such as
retrofitting the fleet with energy saving devices, using low
sulphur fuels and trialling biofuels.
The Company has the benefit of an experienced Executive Team led
by Edward Buttery. The Executive Team work closely together at the
Commercial Manager, Taylor Maritime. Established in 2014, Taylor
Maritime is a privately owned ship-owning and management business
with a seasoned team that includes the founders of dry bulk
shipping company Pacific Basin Shipping (listed in Hong Kong
2343.HK) and gas shipping company BW Epic Kosan (formerly Epic
Shipping) (listed in Oslo BWEK:NO). Taylor Maritime's team of
experienced industry professionals are based in Hong Kong,
Singapore and London.

About Geared vessels
Geared vessels are characterised by their own loading and
unloading equipment. The Handysize market segment is particularly
attractive, given the flexibility, versatility and port
accessibility of these vessels which carry necessity goods -
principally foodstuffs and products related to infrastructure
building - ensuring broad diversification of fleet activity and
stability of earnings.
