Taylor Maritime Limited (the "Company" or "TML")

Second Compulsory Partial Redemption Update & Confirmation of Voting Rights

The Board of TML, the specialist dry bulk shipping company, is pleased to announce that, in connection with the Company's second compulsory partial redemption (the "Compulsory Redemption"), first announced on 20 March 2026, the Company has compulsorily redeemed as at the close of business on 11 May 2026 on a pro rata basis 34,952,813 ordinary shares at a price of US$ 0.8583 per share.

Fractions of shares produced by the applicable redemption ratios have not been redeemed and therefore the number of shares redeemed in respect of each shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Following the Compulsory Redemption, the Company has 143,376,950 ordinary shares in issue and the total number of voting rights is 143,376,950. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The new ISIN, GG00BWZ6KJ56, in respect of the remaining shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and is available for transactions from 8.00 a.m. on 12 May 2026. Payments of redemption monies are expected to be affected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated form) on or around 26 May 2026. Any certificates currently in circulation will be superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to certificated shareholders representing the balance of their shareholding in the Company.

About Geared Vessels

Geared vessels are characterised by their own cargo loading equipment. The Handysize and Supra/Ultramax market segments are particularly attractive, given the flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these vessels which carry necessity goods - principally food and products related to infrastructure building - ensuring broad diversification of fleet activity and stability of earnings through the cycle.
