Taylor Maritime Limited (the "Company" or "TML")
Compulsory Partial Redemption Update & Confirmation of Voting Rights
The Board of TML, the specialist dry bulk shipping company, is pleased to
announce that, in connection with the Company's partial compulsory redemption,
first announced on 12 December 2025, the Company has compulsorily redeemed as
at the close of business on 30 January 2026 on a pro rata basis 151,886,115
ordinary shares at a price of US$ 0.9441 per share.
Fractions of shares produced by the applicable redemption ratios have not been
redeemed and therefore the number of shares redeemed in respect of each
shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
Following the redemption, the Company has 178,329,763 ordinary shares in issue
and the total number of voting rights is 178,329,763. This figure should be
used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
The new ISIN, GG00BTZC2850, in respect of the remaining shares which have not
been redeemed will be enabled and is available for transactions from 8.00
a.m. on 2 February 2026. Payments of redemption monies are expected to be
affected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated
form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated form) on or
around 13 February 2026. Any certificates currently in circulation will be
superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to certificated
shareholders representing the balance of their shareholding in the Company.

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