The Sellers are affiliates of the Issuer's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his family. In addition, the SPA provides that the Purchaser must pay an additional amount contingent on the continued employment of either of the two vessels owned as of the closing date by the Issuer beyond November 2, 2025 for Aegean Express and October 2, 2026 for Joanna (the "Minimum Employment Period"). Such contingent payment will be calculated separately and independently for each quarterly period (partial or full) exceeding the Minimum Employment Period based on the operating income (net of agreed amounts for daily operating expenses, commissions, off-hire days and negative operating income not covered by insurance) of either of such vessels (excluding depreciation expenses, if any) and shall be paid pro rata to the Sellers based on the number of shares sold. The foregoing description of the SPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the SPA, a copy of which is filed Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
