About the Costamare Bulkers Spin-Off
Costamare Inc. intends to spin-off the Company’s dry bulk business into a standalone company, Costamare
Bulkers. The Costamare Inc. board believes the proposed separation will unlock the inherent value within
the two companies, which have unique growth prospects and investment opportunities.
Shares of Costamare Bulkers are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Costamare Inc.
is targeting to complete the spin-off as soon as practicable this calendar year, subject to various conditions,
including regulatory approvals and obtaining the final approval of the Costamare Inc. board of directors.
However, there can be no assurance that a separation transaction will occur, or if one does occur, of its
terms or timing.
