SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES

AS TO ANY QUESTIONS

The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") by Euroseas Ltd., a Marshall Islands corporation (the "Company"), to the ultimate holders of record, as reflected on the books and records of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and DTC participants as well as registered holders other than DTC, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 14, 2012 (such date, the "Record Date," and such holders, the "Record Date Holders"), of the Company's common stock, par value $0.03 per share (the "Common Stock"), as described in the Company's prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") dated May 25, 2012. Record Date Holders of Common Stock are receiving non-transferable subscription privileges (each a "Subscription Privilege") to subscribe for and purchase Common Stock at a purchase price (the "Subscription Share Price") of $1.10 per share (the "Subscription Shares"). Each Record Date Holder will receive one Subscription Privilege for every 2.25 shares of Common Stock owned as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date. The Subscription Privileges will be distributed pro rata to the Record Date Holders based on the number of shares of Common Stock held on the Record Date. The Subscription Privileges will expire, if not exercised, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2012 (as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"), unless extended by the Company. After the Expiration Date, any unexercised Subscription Privileges will be null and void.

Payments received after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date will not be honored, and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the "Subscription Agent") will return any such payment to you, without interest, as soon as practicable. The Company may determine to extend the subscription period, and thereby postpone the Expiration Date. Any extension of the Rights Offering will be followed as promptly as practicable by announcement thereof by issuing a press release, in no event later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date.

The Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ESEA." The Subscription Privileges will be evidenced by subscription rights certificates (the "Subscription Rights Certificates"), which will be non-transferable.

As described in the Prospectus Supplement, Record Date Holders are entitled to participate in the Rights Offering and exercise their Subscription Privileges, prior to the Expiration Date, in accordance with the following:

1.	Basic Subscription Privilege: Subject to the restrictions described in the Prospectus Supplement, each Subscription Privilege entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock, at a purchase price of $1.10 (the "Basic Subscription Privilege").

Oversubscription Privilege: Record Date Holders who fully exercise all of their Basic Subscription Privileges will be entitled to subscribe for any Subscription Shares that remain unsubscribed after the exercise of all Basic Subscription Privileges (such unsubscribed Subscription Shares, the "Excess Subscription Shares"), subject to certain limitations set forth in the Prospectus Supplement (the "Oversubscription Privilege"). The number of Subscription Shares subscribed for by a Record Date Holder pursuant to such Record Date Holder's Oversubscription Privilege is referred to as such holder's "Oversubscription Shares." If there is a sufficient number of Excess Subscription Shares available to fully satisfy the Oversubscription Shares subscribed for by all Record Date Holders, the subscription of each Record Date Holder for Oversubscription Shares will be honored in full. If insufficient Subscription Shares are available to fully satisfy the Oversubscription Share subscriptions of all Record Date Holders, Excess Subscription Shares will be allocated pro rata to each oversubscribing Record Date Holder based on the number of Subscription Shares such holder purchased pursuant to the exercise of its Basic Subscription Privileges in proportion to the total number of Subscription Shares purchased by all oversubscribing Record Date Holders pursuant to the exercise of their Basic Subscription Privileges. In the event that, after the allocation of the Excess Subscription Shares described above, there remain Excess Subscription Shares that have not been allocated (because of rounding or otherwise), the Subscription Agent shall allocate all remaining Excess Subscription Share among those Record Date Holders not allocated all of its Oversubscription Shares in proportion to their pre-offering ownership percentage.

The number of Subscription Privileges to which you are entitled under your Basic Subscription Privilege is printed on the face of your Subscription Rights Certificate. You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege by completing the appropriate portions of your Subscription Rights Certificate and returning the certificate to the Subscription Agent in the envelope provided, in accordance with these instructions and the terms set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE AND SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT, INCLUDING FINAL CLEARANCE OF ANY CHECKS OR WIRE TRANSFERS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, BY 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. ONCE A RECORD DATE HOLDER HAS EXERCISED ITS SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGES, SUCH EXERCISE MAY NOT BE REVOKED. ANY SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGES NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING WILL EXPIRE WITHOUT ANY VALUE.

1. Method of Subscription—Exercise of the Subscription Privileges

Your Subscription Privileges are evidenced by a non-transferable Subscription Rights Certificate, which will either be a physical certificate or electronic certificate issued through the facilities of the Subscription Agent. The Subscription Rights Certificates will be delivered to record holders or, if a shareholder's Common Stock is registered in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, on his, her or its behalf, to such broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee.

The Subscription Privileges may be exercised by registered holders of shares of Common Stock by completing and signing the Subscription Rights Certificate and delivering the completed and duly executed Subscription Rights Certificate, together with any required signature guarantees and the full subscription payment, to the Subscription Agent at the address set forth below. Completed Subscription Rights Certificates and related payments must be received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee and you wish to exercise your Subscription Privileges, you should instruct your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee to exercise your Subscription Privileges on your behalf by delivering all documents and payment on your behalf prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. This means that you should give such instructions to your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee no later than the business day before the Expiration Date. The Company will ask your record holder to notify you of the Rights Offering. You should complete and return to your record holder the appropriate subscription documentation you receive from your record holder. Your Subscription Privileges will not be considered exercised unless the Subscription Agent receives from your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee all of the required documents and your full subscription payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Brokers, dealers, custodian banks or other nominee holders of Subscription Privileges will be required to certify to the Subscription Agent, before any Basic Subscription Privilege or Oversubscription Privilege may be exercised with respect to any particular beneficial owner, as to the aggregate number of Subscription Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege by such beneficial owner.

Nominees, such as brokers, dealers, custodian banks or other nominees, who hold shares of Common Stock for the account of others, should notify the respective beneficial owners as soon as possible to ascertain the beneficial owners' intentions and to obtain instructions with respect to the Subscription Privileges. If the beneficial owner so instructs, the nominee should exercise the Subscription Privileges on behalf of the beneficial owner and deliver all documents and payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Whether you are a record holder or hold through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, the Company will not be obligated to honor your exercise of Subscription Privileges if the Subscription Agent receives the documents relating to your exercise from you or from your nominee, as applicable, after the expiration of the Rights Offering, regardless of when you transmitted the documents.

All exercises of the Subscription Privileges are irrevocable and may not be canceled or modified. Once you send in your Subscription Rights Certificate and payment, you cannot revoke the exercise of either your Basic Subscription Privilege or Oversubscription Privilege, even if the market price of the Common Stock is below the purchase price of the Common Stock. You should not exercise your Subscription Privileges unless you are certain that you wish to purchase Subscription Shares at the Subscription Share Price.

The Company and the Subscription Agent will accept only properly completed and duly executed Subscription Rights Certificates actually received at any of the addresses listed below, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Delivery to an address other than the address listed above will not constitute valid delivery and, accordingly, may be rejected by the Company. DO NOT SEND ANY SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES DIRECTLY TO EUROSEAS LTD.

2. Payment Method

Payments must be made in full in U.S. currency by certified or cashier's check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank payable to "American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (acting as subscription agent for Euroseas Ltd.)" or U.S. postal money order money order to "American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (acting as subscription agent for Euroseas Ltd.)." Such payment will be deemed to have been received by the Subscription Agent immediately upon receipt. You must provide payment for the maximum number of Subscription Shares that may be purchased for the aggregate subscription price payment received by the Subscription Agent. If your full subscription price payment is not applied to your purchase, the Subscription Agent will return to you by mail or similarly prompt means, or as otherwise instructed by us, the excess amount, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the settlement date.

Payment received after the expiration of the Rights Offering will not be honored, and the Subscription Agent will return your payment to you, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable. Personal checks will not be accepted.

3. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock

Stockholders whose Common Stock is held of record by The Depository Trust Company or by any other depository or nominee on their behalf or on behalf of their broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee will have any shares of Common Stock that they acquire credited to the account of The Depository Trust Company or the other depository or nominee. With respect to all other stockholders, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the Transfer Agent of the Company, will credit your account with all shares of Common Stock acquired. Any such crediting will occur as soon as practicable after the Rights Offering has expired, payment for the Subscription Shares subscribed for has cleared, and all prorating calculations and reductions contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected.

4. Sale or Transfer of the Subscription Privileges

The Subscription Privileges granted to you are non-transferable and, therefore, you may not sell, transfer or assign your Subscription Privileges to anyone.

5. Execution

(a) Execution by Registered Holder. The signature on the Subscription Rights Certificate must correspond with the name of the registered holder exactly as it appears on the face of the Subscription Rights Certificate without any alteration or change whatsoever. Persons who sign the Subscription Rights Certificate in a representative or other fiduciary capacity must indicate their capacity when signing on behalf of the registered holder and, unless waived by the Subscription Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent satisfactory evidence of their authority to so act.

(b) Signature Guarantees. Unless a Subscription Rights Certificate provides that the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered to the applicable record holder or such certificate is submitted for the account of a bank or a broker, your signature on such Subscription Rights Certificate must be guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution," as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), subject to any standards and procedures adopted by the Subscription Agent. Your signature must be guaranteed in Section 4 of the Subscription Rights Certificate by an eligible guarantor institution, unless you are an eligible guarantor institution or your Subscription Rights Certificate provides that the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered to you as Record Date Holder of those shares at your registered address.

6. Method of Delivery

The method of delivery of Subscription Rights Certificates and payment of all subscription payments to the Subscription Agent will be at the election and risk of the Subscription Privilege holder. If sent by mail, it is recommended that such certificates and payments be sent by overnight courier or by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and the clearance of payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. If you are a beneficial owner, you must act promptly to ensure that your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee acts for you and that all required certificates and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering. The Company is not responsible if your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee fails to ensure that all required certificates and payments are actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering.
