Slide 3 Seaborne trade is growing with CAGR of 4.0% from 2000 to 2013 Demand: Increasing Global Seaborne Trade With a Focus in Asia * Source: DVB Shipping and Offshore Research, IHS Global Insight Development of International Seaborne Trade Selective Seaborne Trades Mn Tonnes Average Growth Rate 1 MACRO - Shipping Environment CASS Business School Event at Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG The remarkable increase in Asian seaborne trade is mainly driven by China, which had an average volume growth of 15% over the period. The Chinese economy, however, grew 7.4% in 2014, the slowest since 1990, and down from 7.7% in Decrease in the North American Tanker trade volume is primarily attributed by the US becoming more self-sufficient.

Slide 4 Supply:Global Development by Sectors * Source: DVB Shipping and Offshore Research, MSI Global excess supply across shipping sectors Orderbook as % of the fleet in terms of capacity 1 MACRO - Shipping Environment CASS Business School Event at Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG Supply and Demand imbalance across shipping sectors. The Dry Bulk and LNG space experienced an excess supply CAGR of 7,8% in recent years, as opposed to the other sectors showing a steady decline in excess supply. Significant Orderbook for all shipping sectors, especially for the Gas Carriers, the latter with an average volume growth of 25% over the period.

Slide 5 What are the risks and rewards associated with each sector? What are the sectors we should be increasing our exposure to? What type of assets should we finance? Continued close analysis of demand fundamentals, utilization rates, seasonal spikes, vessel values and freight rates is key. Need to closely monitor what the optimal solutions are for shipping companies that have over-stretched their balance sheet by committing significant capital expenditure by placing too many orders. Exposure must ideally be backed by fixed charter contracts to charterers with high credit worthiness and / or to operators who have demonstrated outperformance compared to the spot market. Selectively financing owners that have strong technical and commercial management skills and have capability to honor financial obligations in case of market downturn. Target vessels that provide the best commercial opportunities. Quality Shipyards should be preferred as vessel values will be better preserved, even for older tonnage. A lot of focus has been on modern eco-design vessels that are younger than 5 years of age. Some of the modern tonnage as young as five years needs to be avoided as these vessels are equipped with large engines which are not desirable in the event high bunker prices prevail. 2 Industry Attractiveness CASS Business School Event at Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG

Slide 8 Banks by Type of Focus for Bank Debt Large proportion of banks targeting top tier clients due to corporate focus and especially projects with employment. Increased interest and appetite has resulted in downward pressure on pricing and softening of transaction terms. Higher visibility/interest for ECA structured transactions and number of larger syndicated deals are increasing especially in energy related sectors. Maritime (Shipping and Offshore) syndicated bank debt lending and bond issuance is increasing totalling US$109b (US$94b bank debt, US$15b bonds) in 2013 with US$82b in H (US$73b bank debt, US$9b bonds).
