Venue: Metropolitan Club, New York City

We invite you to sponsor and actively participate in our 2nd Annual “Invest in International Shipping” Forum which will take place in New York City on Thursday, March 20, 2008. The objective of the Forum is to provide investors with a comprehensive review and outlook of the various shipping markets right after the companies’ annual results. Also, to generate maximum publicity about shipping as an industry and the listed shipping companies to a wide audience of investors.

The Forum’s target audience includes institutional investors and analysts; financial media; financial advisors and financial planners and other investors. The event will be open to the whole sell side brokerage community. Last year’s Forum was a great success with an attendance of 480 investors. We look forward to an even better event this year with about 25 companies presenting and higher investor participation.
