TOP Ships Inc. insiders and related entities filed Amendment No. 40 to update their Schedule 13D after a change in ownership percentages. The filing reports that Family Trading Inc. and 3 Sororibus Trust each beneficially own 2,930,718 common shares, or about 53.97% of TOP Ships’ outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2026. CEO Evangelos J. Pistiolis separately beneficially owns 440,711 common shares, or about 8.12%, on the same share count of 5,430,519 shares outstanding.
The amendment explains that their beneficial ownership percentages decreased because TOP Ships issued 804,322 new common shares between February 24 and March 12, 2026 under an at-the-market program. It also describes two voting-only preferred share classes: 100,000 Series D preferred shares issued in 2017, each carrying the voting power of 1,000 common shares and no economic rights, and 14,000 Series G preferred shares issued on March 31, 2026 to an affiliate of Mr. Pistiolis’ family, also with 1,000 common-share votes per preferred share, subject to a 19.99% aggregate voting power cap and an issuer conversion right into common shares.
TOP Ships Inc. files its Form 20-F annual report describing a small, highly focused tanker owner with significant risk exposures. As of December 31, 2025, it had 4,626,197 common shares and 100,000 Series D preferred shares outstanding, each preferred share carrying 1,000 votes.
The company operates one MR product tanker, one Suezmax, two VLCCs and one 47-meter megayacht, and has nine 47,499 dwt MR product/chemical tankers on order at Chinese yards under sale-and-leaseback structures. Four charterers provided 94.6% of 2025 revenue, creating notable customer concentration.
The filing highlights cyclic and volatile tanker markets, heavy geopolitical uncertainty (including wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, sanctions and new U.S.–China port fees), and tightening climate rules such as IMO greenhouse gas targets and EU ETS/FuelEU, all of which could raise costs and affect demand. It also discloses $218.5 million of debt as of December 31, 2025 and restrictive covenants, plus highly concentrated voting control: family-related trusts and entities may be deemed to hold about 98% of total voting power.
TOP Ships Inc. filed a report highlighting management’s estimate of the company’s net asset value. Based on recent charter-free vessel values from a third-party broker, outstanding debt and cash, management estimates NAV at $289 million as of December 31, 2025, including its 50% joint venture vessel.
This corresponds to an estimated NAV of $58.81 per common share based on currently outstanding shares and $45.13 per share on a fully diluted basis, assuming exercise of all 1,488,478 outstanding warrants. The CEO stated that, based on the latest market close, the shares trade at a 91.2% discount to the company’s current estimate of fully diluted NAV.
The company notes its fleet has an average age of about 4.8 years and consists of modern, eco-friendly, fuel-efficient tanker vessels. It reports that existing time charters with high-quality customers have been generating positive cash flow and income, with the earliest charter expiring in Q1 2028 and the longest running to Q3 2031.
TOP Ships Inc. agreed to acquire nine special-purpose companies that each own a contract for a 47,499 dwt ECO MR product/chemical tanker, for a total purchase price of about $41.1 million. Payments include $6 million already paid, $15 million due by March 31, 2026, and $20.1 million due by April 15, 2026, with the seller able to take unpaid amounts in newly issued Series G perpetual convertible preferred shares.
The seller has arranged seven-year time charters, plus four-year options, with a major oil trader, giving potential gross revenue backlog of about $679 million. Financing is being finalized with two major Chinese leasing companies to cover 85% of the $406.8 million of pre-delivery installments, at an effective rate of Term SOFR plus 1.80%, with ten-year amortization and an $18.2 million balloon per vessel.
The filing also describes the new Series G Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, which carry a 15% annual cash dividend on a $1,000 liquidation amount, company-initiated conversion into common shares at a price formula with a $0.60 floor, and voting power equal to 1,000 common shares per preferred share, capped so any holder’s aggregate voting power does not exceed 19.99%. These preferred shares and the common shares issued upon conversion are subject to transfer restrictions, including no public trading before March 15, 2028.
