Explanatory Note

(the “Company”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger on September 23, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Strategic Shipping Inc. (“SSI”), Renaissance Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSI (“Renaissance”), and Renaissance Merger Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Renaissance will merge with and into Merger Sub, after which the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Renaissance will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company will acquire ownership or charter-in fifteen (15) handy-size dry bulk vessels currently owned or chartered-in by SSI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SSI is entitled to receive a number of common shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”) of the Company (the “Merger Consideration”) to be determined prior to the consummation of the Merger based on a net asset value to net asset value exchange ratio. The Common Shares of the Company issued as the Merger Consideration will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K/A”) to include the financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b).

Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group - 1 - Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 December 2023 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Shareholder of Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Report on the combined financial statements Qualified Opinion We have audited the combined financial statements of Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group (collectively, the “Combined Group”), which comprise the combined statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, and the related combined statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Combined Group at 31 December 2023, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”). Basis for Qualified opinion As disclosed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires that financial statements be presented with comparative financial information. The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared as of and for the year ended 31 December 2023 solely for the purpose of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulations S-X of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“Rule 3-05”). Accordingly, no comparative financial information is presented. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Combined Group and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Responsibilities of management for the combined financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the combined financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Combined Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the combined financial statements are available to be issued.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group - 2 - Independent Auditor’s Report For the financial year ended 31 December 2023 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholder of Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the combined financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the combined financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Combined Group’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Combined Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Owner of dry bulk cargo Singapore * The name change for SBC Resolve LLC and SBC Resolve Pte. Ltd. took place on 18 July 2024 and 5 August 2024, respectively. These entities are directly or indirectly wholly owned by Strategic Shipping Inc. (the “shareholder”), a limited liability company formed and domiciled in the Republic of Marshall Islands, whose shares are privately held. Subsequent to year-end, as disclosed in Note 26, the shareholder underwent a reorganization exercise to position Renaissance Holdings LLC as the holding company for its dry bulk business to facilitate the disposal to Renaissance Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd.. The combined financial statements of Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the shareholder on 15 November 2024. The combined financial statements are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) except for the exclusion of comparative figures for the prior year required by IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 8 - 2. Basis of preparation The principal purpose of the combined financial statements is to present the historical operations and performance of the dry bulk business. The combined financial statements are intended to provide users with relevant information about how the dry bulk business operated under its parent company and should encompass all pertinent activities, including the cost of running the business and corporate costs that were integral to the business during the period presented. Therefore, the financial statements are presented on a combined basis, including the entities in Note 1 which are under common control by the shareholder since incorporation, and throughout the financial year. The purpose of the combined financial statements is to show the combined financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Combined Group as a single performance unit as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Combined Group was in a net current liabilities position of $15,573,645 as at 31 December 2023. The combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholder, Strategic Shipping Inc., has agreed to forgive the repayment of the amount due by the entities within the Combined Group to the shareholder, by converting it into equity without being subject to future recall. Please refer to Note 26 for more details. The combined financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in the notes below. Items included in the financial statements of each of the combining entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The combined financial statements is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “USD”) which is the Combined Group’s presentation currency. Comprehensive disclosures related to transactions with related parties are provided in the notes to the financial statements. These disclosures include the nature of the related party relationships, types of transactions, amounts involved, and any other information necessary for an understanding of the financial impact of these transactions on the combined financial statements. 3. Basis of combination The combined financial statements consist of the historical combined financial statements of the entities listed in Note 1 for the year ended 31 December 2023 on a combined basis. The combined financial statements have been derived from the aggregation of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of Combined Group, and in accordance with the Combined Group’s accounting policies as set out in Note 4, which comply with IFRS. All intra- group transactions and balances have been eliminated on combination when preparing the combined financial statements.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 9 - 3. Basis of combination (continued) The expenses of the Combined Group include the recharging of common facilities and services provided by related companies that fall outside the scope of the Combined Group. There are no corporate costs or expenses that have not been allocated to the entities within the Combined Group. 4. Material accounting policy information The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied by the Combined Group (“Combined Group accounting policies”). 4.1 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The Combined Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on 1 January 2023. The adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Combined Group. 4.2 Standards issued but not yet effective The Combined Group has not adopted the following amendments applicable to the Combined Group that have been issued but not yet effective: Description Effective for annual periods beginning on or after Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current 1 January 2024 Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback 1 January 2024 Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants 1 January 2024 Amendments to FRS 21: Lack of Exchangeability 1 January 2025 Amendments to FRS 109 and FRS 107: Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments 1 January 2026 Annual Improvements to FRSs—Volume 11 1 January 2026 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 January 2027 The management expects that the adoption of the standards above will have no material impact on the combined financial statements in the period of initial application. 4.3 Foreign currency translation The Combined Group’s combined financial statements are presented in United States dollar. Each entity in the Combined Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 10 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.3 Foreign currency translation (continued) (i) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the entity in the Combined Group at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date these transactions first qualify for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period. All differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. (ii) Group entities On combination, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into United States dollar at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for combination are recognised in other comprehensive income. 4.4 Vessels and equipment Vessels and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the vessels and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life for new vessels is 25 years. Vessels acquired later in their lives are depreciated accordingly over their remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives of other vessels and equipment items are 3 years. When each major inspection such as dry docking is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of vessels and equipment and amortised over the period until the next anticipated dry docking, which is normally 30 months. When dry docking recurs prior to the expiry of this period, the remaining balance of the original deferred dry docking costs is recorded in profit or loss in the period the subsequent dry docking occurs. An item of vessels and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 11 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.5 Impairment of non-financial assets The Combined Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Combined Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the combined statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Combined Group estimates the asset’s or cash- generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 4.6 Financial instruments (a) Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Combined Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Combined Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 12 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.6 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Financial assets (continued) Subsequent measurement Investments in debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Combined Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The three measurement categories for classification of debt instruments are amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). (i) Amortised cost Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are derecognised or impaired, and through amortisation process. The Combined Group’s financial assets at amortised include mainly trade receivables and other receivables. (ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Financial asset measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is de-recognised. The Combined Group engages in derivative financial instruments, including bunker hedges and interest rate swap, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices and interest rates, respectively. These instruments are used in accordance with the Group’s risk management strategy and are not intended for speculative purposes. (iii) Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at FVTPL and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss in the financial year in which it arises.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 13 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.6 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Financial assets (continued) Subsequent measurement (continued) Investments in equity instruments On initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Combined Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in FVOCI. Dividends from such investments are to be recognised in profit or loss when the Combined Group’s right to receive payments is established. For investments in equity instruments which the Combined Group has not elected to present subsequent changes in FVOCI, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Derivatives Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each financial year. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts are determined by reference to market values for similar instruments. De-recognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. (b) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Combined Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. The Combined Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Combined Group designates its financial liabilities as loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and amount due to shareholder. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.6 Financial instruments (continued) (b) Financial liabilities (continued) De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. 4.7 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Combined Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as bunker swaps to hedge its commodity price risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: - Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment; - Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment; - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Combined Group formally designates and documents the hedging relationship to which the Combined Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: - There is “an economic relationship” between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; - The effect of credit risk does not “dominate the value changes” that result from that economic relationship; - The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Combined Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Combined Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 15 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.7 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (continued) The Combined Group adopts cash flow hedge accounting for its hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item. Amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non- financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur or reclassified to profit or loss immediately if the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur. Current versus non-current classification Derivative instruments are classified as current or non-current or separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances (i.e., the underlying contracted cash flows). 4.8 Impairment of financial assets The Combined Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Combined Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Combined Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Combined Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Combined Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience. adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 16 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.8 Impairment of financial assets (continued) The Combined Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Combined Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Combined Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Combined Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 4.9 Inventories Inventories consist of bunkers and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and delivery costs less discounts. 4.10 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the combined statement of financial position and combined statement of cash flows comprise cash at banks.This includes all cash balances with financial institutions that are available on demand. The Combined Group’s policy for classifying an investment as a cash equivalent is based on its liquidity, maturity, and the purpose for which the cash is held. To qualify as a cash equivalent, an investment must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value due to market conditions or interest rate fluctuations. The classification is determined at the time of acquisition and reassessed at each reporting date. The Combined Group holds these assets primarily to meet short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes, ensuring the availability of funds as needed. 4.11 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Combined Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 4.12 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 4.13 Leases Combined Group as a lessor Leases in which the Combined Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Freight income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the combined statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 17 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.14 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Combined Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Combined Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. A performance obligation may be satisfied as a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Voyage revenue for voyages completed during the year is included in the operating results for that period. Revenue from uncompleted voyages is recognised over the duration of the voyages on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from time charter hire, which are an operating lease in nature is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the time charter contracts. The portion of revenue relating to the unexpired time charter period is accounted for as unearned income in combined statement of financial position. Contract balances Trade receivables A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Contract assets Contract assets (unbilled receivables) are initially recognised for revenue earned for freight voyages because the receipt of consideration is conditional on the successful completion of the voyage. Upon completion of the voyage, the amount recognised as contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities (customer advances) are recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the completion of a freight voyage. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue based on the percentage of completion of the voyage. 4.15 Operating expenses Operating expenses include expenditure that are incurred by the Combined Group in providing voyage or charter services.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 18 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.16 Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises of interest income. Finance costs comprises of interest expense on borrowings and other finance costs. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The “effective interest rate” is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to: the gross carrying amount of the financial assets; or the amortised cost of the financial liability. In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. 4.17 Related parties A related party is defined as follows: (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Combined Group if that person: (i) Has control or joint control over the Combined Group; (ii) Has significant influence over the Combined Group; or (iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Combined Group or of a parent of the Combined Group.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Combined Group’s combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Judgments In the process of applying the Combined Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgment, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the combined financial statements: Combined Group as a lessor The Combined Group has entered into commercial leases to charter hire out vessels for operations. The Combined Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the vessels and the present value of the minimum lease payments not amounting to substantially all of the fair value of the vessels, that it retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 20 - 5. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued) Judgments (continued) Impairment indicator assessment for non-financial assets The vessels owned by the Combined Group are assessed for internal and external indicators of impairment at year-end in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 4.5. The vessels are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts for these assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amounts of the vessels are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The Combined Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the combined financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Combined Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Fair value of financial instruments When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the combined statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the financial instruments are disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements.

The Combined Group has trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that are derived directly from its operations. The Combined Group also holds financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortised cost, and enters into derivative transactions. The Combined Group is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 29 - 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortised cost, and derivative financial instruments. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Combined Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long term with floating interest rates. With all other variables held constant, the Combined Group’s loss before tax is estimated to increase/decrease by $313,553 should interest rate increase/decrease by 25 basis points. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Combined Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Combined Group’s Japanese Yen denominated borrowings. The Combined Group has determined that its exposure to foreign currency changes at the end of the financial year is not material. Commodity price risk The Combined Group is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing purchase and continuous supply of bunkers. The Combined Group is exposed to changes in the price of bunker on its forecast bunker purchases. With all other variables held constant, the Combined Group’s loss before tax is estimated to increase/decrease by $337,783 should bunker price increase/decrease by 5%. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Combined Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from trade and other receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, and other financial instruments. Trade and other receivables It is the Combined Group’s policy to provide credit terms to creditworthy customers and counterparties. These debts are continually monitored and therefore, the Combined Group does not expect to incur material credit losses.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 30 - 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk (continued) Trade and other receivables (continued) An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due by aging brackets. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Based on historical information, the receivable amount which the Combined Group expect to incur credit losses have been provided for as disclosed in Note 16. As at 31 December 2023, the ageing analysis of trade receivables and contract assets is as follows: Past due but not impaired Total Neither past due nor impaired < 30 days 30 - 60 days 61 - 90 days > 90 Days $ $ $ $ $ $ 2023 4,192,548 3,141,195 1,051,353 – – – Financial instruments and cash deposits Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Combined Group’s treasury function in accordance with the Combined Group’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties for risk management purposes and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty failure. The Combined Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the combined statement of financial position at 31 December 2023 are the carrying amounts as disclosed in Notes 15 and 16. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the general funding of the Combined Group’s operational activities. It includes the risk of not being able to fund operational activities at settlement dates and liquidate positions in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The Combined Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Combined Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 - 33 - 25. Fair value of assets and liabilities (a) Fair value hierarchy The Combined Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Combined Group can access at the measurement date; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. (b) Assets measured at fair value At 31 December 2023, the Combined Group held the following financial instruments measured at fair value. At 31 December Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ $ $ $ Group 2023 Assets: Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: - bunker swap contracts 32,214 – 32,214 – During the year ended 31 December 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. (c) Level 2 fair value measurements The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are included at the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: Bunker rate swap contracts The fair value of bunker rate swap contracts is determined by reference to valuation statements provided by third party brokers. The appropriateness of the valuation methodologies and assumptions adopted are reviewed along with the appropriateness and reliability of the inputs used in the valuations by management.

The condensed interim combined financial statements are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), except for the exclusion of comparative figures for the prior period required by IAS 1 "presentation of financial statements". The purpose of these condensed interim combined financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 7 - 2. Basis of preparation The principal purpose of the condensed interim combined financial statements is to present the historical operations and performance of the dry bulk business. The condensed interim combined financial statements are intended to provide users with relevant information about how the dry bulk business operated under its parent company and should encompass all pertinent activities, including the cost of running the business and corporate costs that were integral to the business during the period presented. Therefore, the financial statements are presented on a combined basis, including the entities in Note 1 which are under common control by the shareholder since incorporation, and throughout the financial year. The purpose of the condensed interim combined financial statements is to show the combined financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Combined Group as a single performance unit as at and for the period ended 30 September 2024. The Combined Group was in a net current liabilities position of $108,831,026 as of 30 September 2024. The condensed interim combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholder, Strategic Shipping Inc., has agreed to forgive the repayment of the amount due by the entities within the Combined Group to the shareholder, by converting it into equity without being subject to future recall. Please refer to Note 26 for more details. The condensed interim combined financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in the notes below. Items included in the condensed interim combined financial statements of each of the combining entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The condensed interim combined financial statements is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “USD”) which is the Combined Group’s presentation currency. Comprehensive disclosures related to transactions with related parties are provided in the notes to the financial statements. These disclosures include the nature of the related party relationships, types of transactions, amounts involved, and any other information necessary for an understanding of the financial impact of these transactions on the combined financial statements.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 8 - 3. Basis of combination The condensed interim combined financial statements consist of the condensed interim financial statements of the entities listed in Note 1 for the nine months period ended 30 September 2024 on a combined basis. The condensed interim combined financial statements have been derived from the aggregation of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of Combined Group, and in accordance with the Combined Group’s accounting policies as set out in Note 4, which comply with IFRS. All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on combination when preparing the condensed interim combined financial statements. The expenses of the Combined Group include the recharging of common facilities and services provided by related companies that fall outside the scope of the Combined Group. There are no corporate costs or expenses that have not been allocated to the entities within the Combined Group. 4. Material accounting policy information The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied by the Combined Group (“Combined Group accounting policies”). 4.1 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The Combined Group has adopted all the new and revised standards which are effective for annual financial periods beginning on 1 January 2024. The adoption of these standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Combined Group. 4.2 Foreign currency translation The Combined Group’s condensed interim combined financial statements are presented in United States dollar. Each entity in the Combined Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. (i) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the entity in the Combined Group at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date these transactions first qualify for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period. All differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 9 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.2 Foreign currency translation (continued) (ii) Group entities On combination, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into United States dollar at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for combination are recognised in other comprehensive income. 4.3 Vessels and equipment Vessels and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the vessels and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life for new vessels is 25 years. Vessels acquired later in their lives are depreciated accordingly over their remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives of other vessels and equipment items are 3 years. When each major inspection such as dry docking is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of vessels and equipment and amortised over the period until the next anticipated dry docking, which is normally 30 months. When dry docking recurs prior to the expiry of this period, the remaining balance of the original deferred dry docking costs is recorded in profit or loss in the period the subsequent dry docking occurs. An item of vessels and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. 4.4 Impairment of non-financial assets The Combined Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Combined Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 10 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.4 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued) Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the condensed interim combined statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Combined Group estimates the asset’s or cash- generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 4.5 Financial instruments (a) Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, the Combined Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Combined Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition. Subsequent measurement Investments in debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Combined Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The three measurement categories for classification of debt instruments are amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 11 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.5 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Financial assets (continued) Subsequent measurement (continued) (i) Amortised cost Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the assets are derecognised or impaired, and through amortisation process. The Combined Group’s financial assets at amortised include mainly trade receivables and other receivables. (ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Financial asset measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is de-recognised. The Combined Group engages in derivative financial instruments, including bunker hedges and interest rate swap, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices and interest rates, respectively. These instruments are used in accordance with the Group’s risk management strategy and are not intended for speculative purposes. (iii) Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at FVTPL and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss in the financial period in which it arises. Investments in equity instruments On initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Combined Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in FVOCI. Dividends from such investments are to be recognised in profit or loss when the Combined Group’s right to receive payments is established. For investments in equity instruments which the Combined Group has not elected to present subsequent changes in FVOCI, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 12 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.5 Financial instruments (continued) (a) Financial assets (continued) Subsequent measurement (continued) Derivatives Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each financial period. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts are determined by reference to market values for similar instruments. De-recognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. (b) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Combined Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. The Combined Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Combined Group designates its financial liabilities as loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and amount due to shareholder. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition, the difference between the carrying amounts and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 13 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.6 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Combined Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as bunker swaps to hedge its commodity price risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: - Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment; - Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment; - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Combined Group formally designates and documents the hedging relationship to which the Combined Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: - There is “an economic relationship” between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; - The effect of credit risk does not “dominate the value changes” that result from that economic relationship; - The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Combined Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Combined Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.6 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (continued) The Combined Group adopts cash flow hedge accounting for its hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the condensed interim combined statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item. Amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non- financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur or reclassified to profit or loss immediately if the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur. Current versus non-current classification Derivative instruments are classified as current or non-current or separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances (i.e., the underlying contracted cash flows). 4.7 Impairment of financial assets The Combined Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Combined Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Combined Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Combined Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Combined Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience. adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.


 
Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 15 - 4. Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.7 Impairment of financial assets (continued) The Combined Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Combined Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Combined Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Combined Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 4.8 Inventories Inventories consist of bunkers and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and delivery costs less discounts. 4.9 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the condensed interim combined statement of financial position and condensed interim combined statement of cash flows comprise cash at banks. This includes all cash balances with financial institutions that are available on demand. The Combined Group’s policy for classifying an investment as a cash equivalent is based on its liquidity, maturity, and the purpose for which the cash is held. To qualify as a cash equivalent, an investment must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value due to market conditions or interest rate fluctuations. The classification is determined at the time of acquisition and reassessed at each reporting date. The Combined Group holds these assets primarily to meet short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes, ensuring the availability of funds as needed. 4.10 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Combined Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 4.11 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.12 Leases Combined Group as a lessor Leases in which the Combined Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Freight income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the condensed interim combined statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. 4.13 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Combined Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Combined Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. A performance obligation may be satisfied as a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Voyage revenue for voyages completed during the period is included in the operating results for that period. Revenue from uncompleted voyages is recognised over the duration of the voyages on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from time charter hire, which are an operating lease in nature is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the time charter contracts. The portion of revenue relating to the unexpired time charter period is accounted for as unearned income in condensed interim combined statement of financial position. Contract balances Trade receivables A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Contract assets Contract assets (unbilled receivables) are initially recognised for revenue earned for freight voyages because the receipt of consideration is conditional on the successful completion of the voyage. Upon completion of the voyage, the amount recognised as contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities (customer advances) are recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the completion of a freight voyage. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue based on the percentage of completion of the voyage.

Material accounting policy information (continued) 4.14 Operating expenses Operating expenses include expenditure that are incurred by the Combined Group in providing voyage or charter services. 4.15 Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises of interest income. Finance costs comprises of interest expense on borrowings and other finance costs. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The “effective interest rate” is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:  the gross carrying amount of the financial assets; or  the amortised cost of the financial liability. In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 19 - 5. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Combined Group’s condensed interim combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Judgments In the process of applying the Combined Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgment, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed interim combined financial statements: Combined Group as a lessor The Combined Group has entered into commercial leases to charter hire out vessels for operations. The Combined Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the vessels and the present value of the minimum lease payments not amounting to substantially all of the fair value of the vessels, that it retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases. Impairment indicator assessment for non-financial assets The vessels owned by the Combined Group are assessed for internal and external indicators of impairment at period-end in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 4.4. The vessels are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts for these assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amounts of the vessels are disclosed in Note 13 to the condensed interim combined financial statements. . Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below. The Combined Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the condensed interim combined financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Combined Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Fair value of financial instruments When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the condensed interim combined statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 28 - 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies The Combined Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Combined Group’s operations. The Combined Group has trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that are derived directly from its operations. The Combined Group also holds financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortised cost, and enters into derivative transactions. The Combined Group is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortised cost, and derivative financial instruments. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Combined Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long term with floating interest rates. With all other variables held constant, the Combined Group’s profit before tax is estimated to increase/decrease by $272,715 should interest rate decrease/increase by 25 basis points. Commodity price risk The Combined Group is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing purchase and continuous supply of bunkers. The Combined Group is exposed to changes in the price of bunker on its forecast bunker purchases.

Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group Notes to the Condensed Interim Combined Financial Statements For the nine months ended 30 September 2024 - 29 - 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Combined Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from trade and other receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, and other financial instruments. Trade and other receivables It is the Combined Group’s policy to provide credit terms to creditworthy customers and counterparties. These debts are continually monitored and therefore, the Combined Group does not expect to incur material credit losses. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due by aging brackets. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Based on historical information, the receivable amount which the Combined Group expect to incur credit losses have been provided for as disclosed in Note 15. As at 30 September 2024, the ageing analysis of trade receivables and contract assets is as follows: Past due but not impaired Total Neither past due nor impaired < 30 days 30 - 60 days 61 - 90 days > 90 Days $ $ $ $ $ $ 30 September 2024 2,648,918 1,962,271 176,795 508,794 1,058 – Financial instruments and cash deposits Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Combined Group’s treasury function in accordance with the Combined Group’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties for risk management purposes and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty failure. The Combined Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the condensed interim combined statement of financial position at 30 September 2024 are the carrying amounts as disclosed in Notes 14 and 15.

It includes the risk of not being able to fund operational activities at settlement dates and liquidate positions in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The Combined Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Combined Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes present the historical condensed combined financial information of Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Pangaea”) and Renaissance Holdings LLC., (“Renaissance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Strategic Shipping Inc. (“SSI”), to illustrate the proposed Merger of the Company and Renaissance. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Company’s acquisition of Renaissance based on the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with SSI, Renaissance, and Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Renaissance from SSI through the merger of the Merger Sub with and into Renaissance, with Renaissance surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company will acquire ownership of or assume bareboat charters-in with purchase options for 15 handy-size bulk vessels currently owned or chartered-in by SSI indirectly through Renaissance and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquisition Fleet”).

By virtue of the Merger and without any action by the parties to the Merger Agreement, all of the limited liability company interests of Renaissance outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right of SSI to receive (i) Merger Shares of the Company to be determined prior to the Merger based on a net asset value to net asset value exchange ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement and (ii) any amount SSI is entitled to in cash under Section 1.10 of the Merger Agreement as a result of certain adjustments to be made to the Merger Consideration at and following the Closing of the Merger.

Basis of Preparation and Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 gives effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on September 30, 2024 (the “pro forma condensed combined balance sheet”), and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 give effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023 (the “pro forma condensed combined statement of operations”). The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the pro forma condensed combined income statements (together, the “pro forma condensed combined financial information”) are based upon, and derived from, the following:

(i)the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Pangaea, which are available in Pangaea’s Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as furnished to the SEC on November 12, 2024 and which is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement,

(ii)the audited consolidated financial statements of Pangaea, which are available in Pangaea’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024 and which is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement,

(iii)the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Renaissance Holdings LLC Combined Group (“Renaissance Combined Group”, as defined below) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), and

(iv)the audited combined financial statements of Combined Group for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with IFRS”) as issued by IASB.

The combined financial statements of Renaissance Combined Group included the financial position and operating results of the legal entities holding the Acquisition Fleet combined with the financial position and operating results



of Strategic Bulk Carriers (USA) LLC ("SSI Operator"). The principal purpose of the combined financial statements is to present the historical operations and performance of Renaissance’s dry bulk business. The combined financial statements are intended to provide users with relevant information about how the dry bulk business operated under its parent company and should encompass all pertinent activities, including the cost of running the business and corporate costs that were integral to the business during the period presented. The purpose of the combined financial statements is to present the combined financial position, financial performance, changes in equity, and cash flows of the Renaissance Combined Group as a single performance unit as at and for the periods presented.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” Release No. 33-10786 replaced the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“transaction accounting adjustments”) and optionally to present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects (“management’s adjustments”), limiting management’s adjustments to those that are reasonably estimable and that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur. We have elected not to present management’s adjustments and will only be presenting transaction accounting adjustments in the pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that Pangaea’s management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial information.

As further discussed in Note 3. Accounting for the merger, below, the merger has been treated as an asset acquisition under the guidelines of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, whereby all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, on the basis of their relative fair values.

For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial information, while the exact number of Merger Shares will be determined prior to the Closing, based on relative valuations of Renaissance and the Company, the number of Merger Shares to be issued to SSI was estimated based on the Company’s equity as of September 30, 2024. Further, the fair values of Renaissance’s identifiable tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value. Certain current market-based assumptions were used that will be updated in the accounting for the merger upon its completion.

Pangaea’s management believes that the estimated number of Merger Shares, fair values utilized for the assets to be acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial information, are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available and such changes could be material.

The combined financial statements of Renaissance Combined Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IFRS. The consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has performed a preliminary analysis and has not identified significant differences identified between IFRS and U.S. GAAP for the purposes of presenting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial information includes eliminations of the assets and liabilities of Strategic Bulk Carriers (USA) LLC ("SSI Operator") included in Renaissance Combined Group and that are not acquired by Pangaea. The remaining balances after the eliminations represent the assets and liabilities of Renaissance. The condensed combined financial statements of Renaissance Combined Group also reflect reclassifications to conform accounting presentation to the Company’s accounting presentation.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative and information purposes only and is not intended to represent or necessarily be indicative of the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition had the merger been completed on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional



analyses are performed, including but not limited to the final assessment of the determination of differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, and of the application of purchase price adjustments, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final accounting, expected to be completed after the closing of the business combination, will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include any expected cost savings or operating synergies, which may be realized subsequent to the merger. Moreover, the pro forma adjustments represent best estimates based upon the information available to date and are preliminary and subject to change after more detailed information is obtained.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes as well as the above-referenced historical consolidated financial statements of both the Company and Renaissance Combined Group.

Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024
The accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:

(1)Reflects the issuance of 17,647,774 common stock shares of Pangaea to the SSI at the fair value of $127.6 million (based on the Pangaea's market price of $7.23 per share), the payment of the Closing Adjustment allocated to the acquired assets of $8.8 million and the estimated transaction costs of $2 million (net of the deferred transaction costs of $1 million incurred by Pangaea through September 30, 2024), the allocation of the total costs, and the elimination of the historical equity balance of Renaissance.

The Closing Adjustment allocated to the acquired assets is estimated based on the terms of the Merger Agreement, and primarily includes the carrying value of the bunker inventories and unused lubricants at the



closing date and excludes the estimated profit for the voyages in progress (see Note 2). The Closing Adjustment is assumed to be settled in cash. The total allocated costs of $247.4 million are allocated to the bunker inventories and vessels based on their relative fair values estimated at $6.8 million and $271.5 million, respectively. The total allocated costs consist of the total consideration transferred of $137.9 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed of $109.1 million. Pangaea’s long-term bank loans and finance leases bear interest at variable interest rates and fixed rates that are materially close to Pangaea's borrowing rates at September 30, 2024. As such, the fair value of the long-term loans and finance leases approximates the outstanding balances at September 30, 2024. The unamortized deferred financing costs associated with long-term debt were not material at September 30, 2024.

(2)Reflects the reduction in purchase consideration related to the estimated profit for the voyages in progress at the closing date of $3.8 million.

(3)Reflects the eliminations of the assets and liabilities of Strategic Bulk Carriers (USA) LLC ("SSI Operator") included in Renaissance Combined Group and that are not acquired by Pangaea.

(4)Reflects the reclassification of Renaissance's borrowings under IFRS to long-term debt and finance lease liabilities to conform to the presentation of these items by Pangaea under US GAAP.

(2)Reflects the adjustment to the bunker costs to amortize the fair value step down of $2.5 million related to the bunker inventories.
(3)Reflects the reclassification of the revenue and commission expense of Renaissance under IFRS to conform to the presentation of these items by Pangaea under US GAAP.
 




Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
1.Description of the Merger

On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with SSI, Renaissance, and Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Renaissance from SSI through the merger of the Merger Sub with and into Renaissance, with Renaissance surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company will acquire ownership of or assume bareboat charters-in with purchase options for 15 handy-size bulk vessels currently owned or chartered-in by SSI indirectly through Renaissance and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquisition Fleet”).

By virtue of the Merger and without any action by the parties to the Merger Agreement, all of the limited liability company interests of Renaissance outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right of SSI to receive (i) Merger Shares of the Company to be determined prior to the Merger based on a net asset value to net asset value exchange ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement and (ii) any amount SSI is entitled to in cash under Section 1.10 of the Merger Agreement as a result of certain adjustments to be made to the Merger Consideration at and following the Closing of the Merger.

In addition to the Merger Agreement, the Company will enter into (i) an Investor and Registration Rights Agreement with SSI, which will grant SSI certain registration, board representation and other rights at the Closing, and (ii) certain technical management agreements with the current technical manager of the Acquisition Fleet at the Closing, which will provide for the technical management of the Acquisition Fleet following the Closing.

Under the terms of the Investor and Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into with the Seller at the Closing Date, Section 3.1 Appointment and Nomination of Directors, for so long as the Investor has Beneficial Ownership of at least twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, the Investor shall have the right to designate up to two (2) members of the Board of Directors (each an “Investor Designee” and collectively the “Investors Designees”) and for so long as the Investor has Beneficial Ownership of at least ten percent (10%) but less than twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, the Investor shall have the right to designate one (1) Investor Designee. Further, immediately following the appointment of the Investor Designees upon the closing of the Merger, the Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) members, inclusive of the Investor Designees.

The number of Merger Shares issued as Merger Consideration shall be determined by reference to the following ratio: the Renaissance Adjustment NAV, divided by the Transaction Value Per Share. For purposes of the foregoing:

(i)“Renaissance Adjusted NAV” means the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of the Acquisition Fleet, minus to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of the NAV of the Acquisition Fleet, the aggregate indebtedness and other liabilities of Renaissance and its subsidiaries as of the Closing, calculated in accordance with the accounting principles set forth in the Merger Agreement;

(ii)“Transaction Value Per Share” means an amount equal to the Company Adjusted NAV, divided by the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (which includes all unvested common shares awarded pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan prior to the effective time of the Merger, but excludes any common shares otherwise reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan; and

(iii)“Company Adjusted NAV” means an amount equal to the stockholders’ equity of the Company as of a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and the SSI, calculated in accordance with the accounting principles set forth in the Merger Agreement. For purposes of calculating the Company Adjusted NAV: (a) the Company Adjusted NAV shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any dividend paid by the Company between the date of the Company’s last quarterly financial statement date and the Closing (to the extent not already taken into account in the calculation of the Company NAV); (b) the



portion of the Company’s stockholders’ equity that represents the value of the owned and chartered-in vessels of the Company shall be substituted for the aggregate NAV of those vessels; and (c) to the extent a subsidiary of the Company is not directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Company, the portion of the Company Adjusted NAV ascribed to such subsidiary shall be prorated to only reflect the Company’s percentage ownership interest.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, there will be two adjustments to the Merger Consideration in order to among other things (i) allocate to the SSI and the Company the net voyage revenues and expenses of any voyages in progress, and (ii) to compensate the SSI for bunkers, unused lubes and certain prepayments of principal and interest, and (iii) to adjust for any changes to the working capital and indebtedness of the parties at Closing. The first adjustment will be made at the Closing based on estimated figures, and any payments due as a result of the adjustment will be settled in cash (the “Closing Adjustment”). The second adjustment will take place after the six-month anniversary of the Closing, or, solely with respect to accounts receivable, at the Company’s election after the 12-month anniversary (the “Second Adjustment”). Any payment due as a result of the Second Adjustment shall be settled in cash; provided that if such amounts paid and/or payable to SSI exceed $5,000,000, any payment in excess of such amount may at the Company’s sole election be settled in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of the foregoing. If the Company elects to pay the SSI in shares of common stock pursuant to the foregoing, and the Company declared any dividend on shares of its common stock between the Closing and the date of such payment to the SSI, then the Company will include the amount of any such dividend that would have otherwise been payable with respect to the shares of common stock issued to the SSI as part of such payment.

2.Accounting policies
During the preparation of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements, management of the Company performed a preliminary review and comparison of the Company’s accounting policies with those of Renaissance. The combined financial statements of Renaissance Combined Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IFRS. The consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has performed a preliminary analysis and has not identified significant differences identified between IFRS and U.S. GAAP for the purposes of presenting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial information includes eliminations of the assets and liabilities of Strategic Bulk Carriers (USA) LLC ("SSI Operator") included in Renaissance Combined Group and that are not acquired by Pangaea. The remaining balances after the eliminations represent the assets and liabilities of Renaissance.
The condensed combined financial statements of Renaissance Combined Group also reflect reclassifications to conform accounting presentation to the Company’s accounting presentation.

3.Accounting for the merger
Following the guidelines of ASC 805, the Merger was determined not to meet the requirements of a business combination. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 98% of the estimated fair value of Renaissance’s total assets acquired, were comprised of similar vessels with similar risk characteristics and inventories on board these vessels. As a result, the Merger is expected to be accounted for as an acquisition of Renaissance by Pangaea under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which values the acquired assets and liabilities at the cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, on the basis of their relative fair values. Pangaea is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
The following represents the preliminary estimate of the merger consideration as of September 30, 2024:



Pangaea common stock shares issued in Merger to SSI17,647,774 (a)
Fair value of Pangaea common stock$7.23 (b)
Fair value of Merger Consideration$127,593,406 
Closing Adjustment allocated to purchase assets8,334,291 (c)
Estimated direct transaction costs of Pangaea1,950,000 
Total estimated consideration transferred$137,877,697 
 
(a)In exchange for the conversion of all of Renaissance issued and outstanding limited liability company interests, the SSI shall have the right to receive: (i) the Merger Consideration (described in this note a) and (ii) any amount the SSI are entitled to under Section 1.10 of the Merger Agreement as a result of certain adjustments to be made to the Merger Consideration at and following the Closing (described in note c below). The number of Merger Shares issued as Merger Consideration was estimated based on the Renaissance Adjusted NAV of $162.4 million divided by the quotient of the Company Adjusted NAV of $431.5 million divided by the number of the Company’s outstanding shares at September 30, 2024 of 46,902,091 shares.
(b)The fair value of the Pangaea common stock is based on the closing price per share on September 30, 2024.
(c)The Closing Adjustment is estimated based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and includes primarily the carrying value of the bunker inventories and unused lubricants at the closing date, and is reduced by the estimated profit from the voyages in progress at the Closing date. The Closing Adjustment is assumed to be settled in cash. The Closing Adjustment allocated to the purchased assets excludes the estimated profit from the voyages in progress at the Closing date and to be completed post-closing. This estimated profit totaling $3.9 million was recorded as deferred revenue.
For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial information, the fair value of Renaissance’s identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value as of September 30, 2024 (the most recent practicable date used for preparation of the pro forma condensed combined financial information) and such fair value estimate is in excess of the consideration amount. Pangaea’s management has reassessed whether all of the assets acquired, and all of the liabilities assumed were properly identified and determined that such fair value estimate remains in excess of the consideration amount. As the merger is accounted for as an asset acquisition, such excess of the fair value of net asset value acquired over consideration transferred is allocated on a relative fair value basis to all qualifying assets, which include the vessels and inventory acquired. The calculation of such excess of the fair value of net asset value acquired over consideration transferred will ultimately be based on the closing date share price of the Pangaea common stock, which could materially change the amount of the excess of the net asset value acquired over consideration transferred.
For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial information, the closing price of Pangaea common stock on September 30, 2024 of $7.23 has been used. The amount of net assets acquired compared to the cost of consideration resulted in an excess value of $31,319,386 that, as discussed above, was allocated to qualifying assets on a relative fair value basis. The following table provides sensitivities to changes in the merger consideration due to changes in the share price of Pangaea common stock on the closing date.
