INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The MIBCA restricts corporations from limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors to corporations and their shareholders for monetary damages
for certain breaches of directors fiduciary duties. Our Articles of Incorporation include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
Our Marshall Islands Bylaws also provide that to the fullest extent now or hereinafter permitted by law, each person who was or is made a party to
or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of us or that, being or having been such a director or officer or an employee of us, he or she is or was serving at the request of us as a director, officer, partner, manager,
trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such a director, officer, partner, manager, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as such a director, officer, partner, manager, trustee, employee
or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the full extent permitted by the MIBCA, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits us to provide
broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, partner, manager, trustee, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, subject to certain exceptions, we shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or ratified by the Board.
The limitation of liability and indemnification
provisions in the Articles of Incorporation and Marshall Islands Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of
derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of
settlement and damage awards against our directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
