CEO Message<br />

Dale Ploughman, the Company's Chief<br />

Executive Officer, stated: "Within the<br />

first year of our operations in 2009, we<br />

doubled our controlled fleet from 6 to 11<br />

vessels with the acquisition of Bulk<br />

Energy Transport or BET. Before our two<br />

year anniversary we believe that we have<br />

creatively added our footprint in the<br />

industry with the agreement to acquire a<br />

majority interest in Maritime <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Shipping</strong>, which will expand our controlled<br />

fleet to 20 vessels.<br />

During our short time in the public markets; we reinforced our capital structure<br />

with the conversion into common stock of the $28.5 million promissory note,<br />

issued in our business combination and in February 2010 we raised a net amount<br />

of about $28 million for acquisition of vessels expanding our shareholder base<br />

and improving the liquidity of our shares.<br />

In line with our goal to expand our fleet with the proper acquisitions, in May<br />

2010 we entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire a 51% interest in Maritime<br />

<strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Shipping</strong> Limited ("MCS") for a purchase price of $33 million. MCS has<br />

a fleet of nine Handysize dry bulk carriers with a cargo-carrying capacity of<br />

249,248 dwt and an average age of approximately 10.6 years. Maritime <strong>Capital</strong><br />

<strong>Shipping</strong>, a company controlled by members of the Restis family, will retain a<br />

49% ownership interest in MCS. As a result of the acquisition, the size of<br />

Seanergy's controlled fleet will increase from 11 to 20 dry bulk vessels with a<br />

cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 1,292,544 dwt and an average fleet<br />

age of 12.7 years. Just like the BET acquisition, we didn't sacrifice our balance<br />

sheet in the deal with MCS but managed to expand the range of vessels offered<br />

to our clients and increase our revenue and profit generation capability.<br />

Our strong balance sheet and cash reserves, combined with secure cash flows<br />

from our charterers, allow us to comfortably service scheduled debt commitment<br />

and capital expenditures, and give us the ability to seek opportunities for further<br />

fleet expansion. Based on our current fleet, we have secured under time charter<br />

coverage 95% of our fleet days for 2010 and 51% for 2011. We will seek to take<br />

advantage of the improving freight market by expanding our charter coverage in<br />

2011.<br />

The commercial and technical management of our fleet is outsourced to Safbulk<br />

and EST; both with excellent track records. Safbulk has a strong reputation in the<br />

international shipping industry for efficiency and reliability. The Seanergy team<br />

actively monitors and controls vessel operating expenses incurred by the outside<br />

managers.<br />

Although we are a young company, the fact that we have an excellent<br />

relationship with the Restis family and its affiliates with a long and proven track<br />

record of more than 40 years in shipping, provides confidence among our lenders<br />

and enables us to benefit from economies of scale and efficiencies regarding the<br />

technical and commercial management of our fleet. Our objective is to build<br />

Seanergy further into a leading player in the global shipping industry<br />

capitalizing on its know-how, resources and network. Our prudent decisions<br />

going forward will aim to safeguard the long term interests of our shareholders.”
