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

Fourth Compulsory Partial Redemption

Further to the announcement on 6 October 2026, the Board of TML, the specialist dry bulk shipping company, is pleased to announce details of the Company's fourth capital distribution totalling US$45 million to shareholders by way of a compulsory partial redemption of ordinary shares at a price of US$0.8119 per share (the "Compulsory Redemption"). The amount to be applied to the Compulsory Redemption and the redemption price per share have been determined by the Board with reference to the 30 September 2026 net asset value.

The Compulsory Redemption will be affected pro rata to holdings on the share register as at the close of business on 26 October 2026 (the "Redemption Date"), being the record date for the Compulsory Redemption. Approximately 61 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital will be redeemed on the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Ratio") equivalent to approximately 55,425,545 of the Company's issued shares. Fractions of shares produced by the Redemption Ratio will not be redeemed, so the number of shares to be compulsorily redeemed from each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Payments of redemption monies are expected to be affected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated form) or by direct credit (in the case of shareholders who have registered a valid wire mandate) on or around 9 November 2026. Shareholders who have not yet registered their bank details and wish to receive their payment by direct credit should log on to www.investorcentre.co.uk/je. Once logged in, select 'Update My Details' and then 'Global Payments' to register their US Dollar banking instructions. Any certificates currently in circulation will be superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to certificated shareholders representing the balance of their shareholding in the Company after the Redemption Date.

The Company currently has 90,947,730 shares in issue. All of the shares redeemed on the Redemption Date will be cancelled and accordingly will thereafter be incapable of transfer by shareholders or reissue by the Company.

The shares will be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN, GG00BQ0H1P47, (the "Old ISIN") will expire. The new ISIN, GG00C0G4QJ50, (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining shares which have not been compulsorily redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from 8.00 a.m. on 27 October 2026, which is also the ex-date for the transaction. The Company's TIDMs, "TMIP" and "TMI", will remain unchanged. For the period up to and including the Redemption Date, shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such shares may have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds following the activation of the New ISIN. CREST will automatically transfer any open transactions as at the Redemption Date to the New ISIN.

Notes to Editors

About the Company 

Taylor Maritime Limited is a shipping company listed under the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List, with its shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange since May 2021.  Between May 2021 and February 2025, the Company was listed under the closed-ended investment funds category of the Official List.  

The Company is pursuing a managed realisation of the Company's assets, prioritising the maximisation of proceeds from vessel sales and future returns of capital to shareholders, in tandem with an orderly winding down of the Company's operations.  The timing of disposals and subsequent returns of capital will be influenced by market conditions and commercial factors.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, currently has a fleet of 2 dry bulk vessels[1] consisting of 1 Handysize vessels and 1 Supra/Ultramax vessel.  The ships are all employed on time charter.

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.
