- In August 2021, the Company agreed to acquire a minority interest in a portfolio of nine product tankers, among which are five dual-fuel MR Methanol tankers (built between 2016 and 2021). These five vessels carry Methanol as well as traditional petroleum products, and they are powered either by Methanol or by traditional marine fuels.
- In June 2021, the Company completed the exchange of
$19.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's Convertible Notes due 2022 for$19.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes due 2025 (the 'Exchange Notes') pursuant to separate, privately negotiated, agreements with certain holders of the Convertible Notes due 2022. Simultaneously, the Company issued and sold$42.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes due 2025 in a private offering (the ‘Purchased Notes’ and together with the Exchange Notes, the 'New Notes'). The New Notes issued in this transaction have the same terms (other than date of issuance) as and are fungible with the Convertible Notes due 2025 that were issued in March 2021. - In January 2021, the Company entered into a note distribution agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to
$75.0 million of additional aggregate principal amount of its7.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the "Senior Notes due 2025").

$59.1 million in connection with the refinancing of 13 vessels. - The Company also has
$20.0 million of additional liquidity available (after the repayment of existing debt) from previously announced financings that have been committed. These drawdowns are expected to occur at varying points in the future as these financings are tied to scrubber installations on the Company’s vessels. - The Company has
$268.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of August 4, 2021.
Investment in Dual Fuel Tankers
In August 2021, the Company agreed to acquire a minority interest in a portfolio of nine product tankers, consisting of five dual-fuel MR Methanol tankers (built between 2016 and 2021) which, in addition to traditional petroleum products, are designed to both carry methanol as a cargo and to consume it as a fuel, along with four ice class 1A LR1 product tankers.

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares
The computation of earnings or loss per share is determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive shares arising from (i) the Company’s equity incentive plan, and (ii) the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2022 and Convertible Notes due 2025. These potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings or loss per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.
The impact of the Convertible Notes due 2022 and Convertible Notes due 2025 on earnings or loss per share is computed using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company first includes the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan, and then assumes that its Convertible Notes due 2022 and Convertible Notes due 2025, which were issued in March and June 2021 were converted into common shares at the beginning of each period. The if-converted method also assumes that the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares outstanding were 54,457,451 and 54,388,504, respectively. There were 56,696,234 and 56,524,964 weighted average shares outstanding including the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company's equity incentive plan, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. There were 62,857,121 and 61,685,350 weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, under the if-converted method. Since the Company was in a net loss position in both periods, the potentially dilutive shares arising from both the Company’s restricted shares issued under the Company's equity incentive plan and under the if-converted method were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating the loss per share. Accordingly, basic weighted average shares outstanding were used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for this period.
COVID-19
Initially, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 resulted in a sharp reduction in economic activity and a corresponding reduction in the global demand for oil and refined petroleum products. This period of time was marked by extreme volatility in the oil markets and the development of a steep contango in the prices of oil and refined petroleum products. Consequently, an abundance of arbitrage and floating storage opportunities opened up, which resulted in record increases in spot TCE rates late in the first quarter of 2020 and throughout the second quarter of 2020. These market dynamics, which were driven by arbitrage trading rather than underlying consumption, led to a build-up of global oil and refined petroleum product inventories.
In June 2020, as underlying oil markets stabilized and global economies began to recover, the excess inventories that built up during this period began to slowly unwind. Nevertheless, global demand for oil and refined petroleum products remained subdued as governments around the world continued to impose travel restrictions and other measures in an effort to curtail the spread of the virus. These market conditions had an adverse impact on the demand for the Company's vessels beginning in the third quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, the easing of restrictive measures and successful roll-out of vaccines in certain countries served as a catalyst for an economic recovery in many developed countries throughout the world. Consequently, oil prices have recently reached multi-year highs and existing inventories of refined petroleum products continue to be depleted. While these conditions are favorable for long-term demand growth, they were insufficient to stimulate spot TCE rates during the second quarter of 2021 given the uneven nature of the global economic recovery and the restrictions that remain in place in parts of the world with low vaccine uptake.
The Company expects that the COVID-19 virus will continue to cause volatility in the commodities markets. The scale and duration of these circumstances is unknowable but could continue to have a material impact on the Company's earnings, cash flow and financial condition in 2021. An estimate of the impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition cannot be made at this time.
In September 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an aggregate of

Explanation of Variances on the Second Quarter of 2021 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of 2020
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of
- TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
| For the three months ended June 30, | |||||||||
| In thousands of U.S. dollars | 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Vessel revenue | $ | 139,442 | $ | 346,239 | |||||
| Voyage expenses | (1,614 | ) | (2,906 | ) | |||||
| TCE revenue | $ | 137,828 | $ | 343,333 | |||||
- TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by
$205.5 million to$137.8 million , from$343.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Overall average TCE revenue per day decreased to$11,954 per day during the three months ended June 30, 2021, from$29,693 per day during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Given the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, market fundamentals and underlying TCE revenue during these periods differed significantly.- TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 reflected the adverse market conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for crude and refined petroleum products have improved during this period but nevertheless remained below pre-pandemic levels given the ongoing efforts around the world to control the spread of the virus, particularly in countries with low vaccine uptake. Additionally inventories continued to be drawn during the quarter, which had an adverse impact on the demand for the seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products.
- TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflected strong market conditions that were the result of the initial market conditions brought on by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. During this time, travel restrictions and other preventive measures to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a precipitous decline in oil demand. Lack of corresponding production and refinery cuts resulted in a supply glut of oil and refined petroleum products, which was exacerbated by extreme oil price volatility from the Russia-Saudi Arabia oil price war. The oversupply of petroleum products and contango in oil prices led to record floating storage and arbitrage opportunities of both crude and refined petroleum products. These market conditions had a disruptive impact on the supply and demand balance of product tankers, resulting in significant and prolonged spikes in spot TCE rates which persisted through the second quarter of 2020.
- Vessel operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by
$0.8 million to$80.6 million , from$79.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Vessel operating costs per day increased to$6,807 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from$6,407 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) costs incurred to transition technical managers for certain MRs that were acquired from Trafigura Maritime Logistics Pte. Ltd. in 2019 and (ii) increased crewing related costs due to COVID-19. - Depreciation expense - owned or sale leaseback vessels for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by
$1.1 million to$49.2 million , from$48.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to the Company's drydock, scrubber and ballast water treatment system installations that have taken place over the preceding 12-month period. - Depreciation expense - right of use assets for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased
$3.4 million to$10.2 million from$13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Depreciation expense - right of use assets reflects the straight-line depreciation expense recorded under IFRS 16 - Leases. Right of use asset depreciation expense was impacted by the delivery of an MR that was previously under construction in the third quarter of 2020 offset by the redelivery of three Handymax vessels upon the expiration of their bareboat charters in the second and third quarters of 2020 and four Handymax vessels at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The Company had four LR2s and 18 MRs that were accounted for under IFRS 16 - Leases during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The right of use asset depreciation for these vessels is approximately$0.2 million per MR per month and$0.3 million per LR2 per month. - General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by
$5.4 million to$13.3 million , from$18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was due to an overall reduction in costs during the three months ended June 30, 2021, including reductions in restricted stock amortization and compensation expenses. - Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by
$3.2 million to$35.9 million , from$39.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by significant decreases in LIBOR rates, which underpin all of the Company's variable rate borrowings, which collapsed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but after the rates were set in the second quarter of 2020 for many of the Company's financings.

| (1) | See Non-IFRS Measures section below. |
| (2) | Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned, sale leasebacked, or chartered-in less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for drydock and repairs. |
| (3) | Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to the owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to owned, sale leasebacked, or bareboat chartered-in vessels, not time chartered-in vessels. |

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information
This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.
TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances on the Second Quarter of 2021 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of 2020". The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking statements.
The forward‐looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, length and severity of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, including its effect on demand for petroleum products and the transportation thereof, expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.
