The applicable percentage of ownership of each shareholder is based on 28,169,637 Common Shares outstanding on April 26, 2022. Information for certain holders is based on their latest filings with the SEC or information delivered to us.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our business is managed under the direction of the Board, in accordance with the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Companies Act”) and our Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through: discussions with the Chairman of the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of our management team; the review of materials provided to directors; and, participation in meetings of the Board and its committees. In accordance with our Bye-laws, the Board has specified that the number of directors will be set at no less than five nor more than fifteen. At December 31, 2021, we had nine directors on our Board and we currently have eight directors on our Board. Under our Bye-laws, one third (or the number nearest to one third) of the Board (with the exception of any executive director) retires by rotation each year. The Bye-laws require that the one third of the directors to retire by rotation be those who have been in office longest since their last appointment or re-appointment. The Bye-laws specify that where the directors to retire have been in office for an equal length of time, those to retire are to be determined by lot (unless they agree otherwise among themselves). From the current directors, Messrs. Efstratios Georgios Arapoglou and Denis Petropoulos have been selected to stand for re-election at this year’s Annual General Meeting.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the full Board held four meetings, one of which was by teleconference, the other three being held at Megaron Macedonia, 367 Syngrou Avenue, Athens, Greece. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board and all of the meetings of committees of which such director was a member in 2021, except for 1 director, who attended at least 75% of such meetings.

Independence of Directors

The foundation for the Company’s corporate governance is the Board’s policy that a majority of the members of the Board should be independent. With the exception of the two Executive Directors (Messrs. Tsakos and Saroglou) and one Non-executive Director (Mr. Jolliffe), the Board believes that each of the other incumbent directors (Messrs. Tommasino, Arapoglou, Mitropoulos and Petropoulos and Dr. Patrinos) is independent under the standards established by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) because none has a material relationship with the Company directly or indirectly or any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as directors of the Company. As a foreign issuer, we currently have an audit committee composed of two independent committee members, whereas a domestic U.S. public company would be required to have three such independent members.

The Board made its determination of independence in accordance with its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify standards and a process for evaluating director independence. The Guidelines provide that:

• A director cannot be independent if he or she fails to meet the objective requirements as to “independence” under the NYSE listing standards.

• If a director meets the objective NYSE standards, he or she will be deemed independent, absent unusual circumstances, if in the current year and the past three years the director has had no related-party transaction or relationship with the Company or an “interlocking” relationship with another entity triggering disclosure under SEC rules.

• If a director who meets the objective NYSE independence requirements either has had a disclosable transaction or relationship or the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee requests that the Board consider any other circumstances in determining the director’s independence, the Board will make a determination of the director’s independence.

To promote open discussion among the independent directors, those directors met three times in 2021 in regularly scheduled executive sessions without participation of the Company’s management and will continue to do so in 2022. Dr. Patrinos serves as the Presiding Director for purposes of these meetings.

Documents Establishing Our Corporate Governance

The Board and the Company’s management have engaged in an ongoing review of our corporate governance practices in order to oversee our compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

The Company has adopted a number of key documents that are the foundation of its corporate governance, including:

• a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees;

• a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Charter; and

• an Audit Committee Charter.

These documents and other important information on our governance, including the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, are posted in the “Corporate Governance” section of the Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited website, and may be viewed at http://www.tenn.gr. We will also provide any of these documents in hard copy upon the written request of a shareholder. Shareholders may direct their requests to the attention of Investor Relations, c/o George Saroglou or Paul Durham, Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited, 367 Syngrou Avenue, 175 64 P. Faliro, Athens, Greece.

The Board has a long-standing commitment to sound and effective corporate governance practices. The Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of important governance issues such as:

• Selection and monitoring of the performance of the Company’s senior management;

• Succession planning for the Company’s senior management;

• Qualifications for membership on the Board;

• Functioning of the Board, including the requirement for meetings of the independent directors; and

• Standards and procedures for determining the independence of directors.

The Board believes that the Corporate Governance Guidelines and other governance documents meet current requirements and reflect a very high standard of corporate governance.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee, a Business Development and Capital Markets Committee and an Operational, Safety and Environmental (“OSE”) Committee.

The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Tommasino and Arapoglou, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Tommasino serves as the Chairman of the committee. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which is approved and adopted annually by the Board. The Board has determined that the continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the applicable independence requirements, and that all continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the requirement of being financially literate. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and is responsible for, among other matters:

• engaging the Company’s external and internal auditors;

• approving in advance all audit and non-audit services provided by the auditors;

10

The current members of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee are Messrs. Arapoglou, Mitropoulos, Tommasino and Petropoulos and Dr. Patrinos, each of whom is an independent director. Dr. Patrinos serves as the Chairman of the committee.

• developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines applicable to the company and keeping such guidelines under review;

• overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management;

• arranging for an annual performance evaluation of the committee and producing an annual report to the Board;

• reviewing regularly the Board structure, size and composition and making recommendations to the Board with regard to any adjustments that are deemed necessary;

• identifying and nominating candidates for the approval of the Board to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise;

• implementing plans for succession, making recommendations to the Board for the continuation in service of an executive director and recommending directors who are retiring by rotation to be put forward for re-election;

• determining the compensation of the non-executive directors, determining and administering the Company’s long-term incentive plans, including any equity-based plans and grants under them; and

During 2021, there were three meetings of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee.

11

Business Development and Capital Markets Committee

The current members of the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee are Messrs. Arapoglou, Jolliffe, Saroglou and Tsakos. Mr. Jolliffe is Chairman of the committee. The Business Development and Capital Markets Committee was established in 2014 for the purpose of overseeing the financial policies and activities of the Company and its subsidiaries relating to the Company’s capital structure and capital raising activities. The committee reviews and approves presentations to, and communications with, shareholders, financial analysts, and potential investors and oversees the establishment and maintenance of the Company’s relations with investment banks and financial institutions, as well as the development and expansion of the Company’s business, including the evaluation of strategic growth opportunities.

Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee

The current members of the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee are Messrs. Jolliffe, Mitropoulos and Papageorgiou and Dr. Patrinos. Mr. Mitropoulos is Chairman of the committee. The primary role of the OSE Committee is to draw the attention of the Board and the Company’s management to issues of concern regarding the safety and security of crew and vessels and the impact of the maritime industry on the environment, to provide an update on related legislation and technological innovations, and more specifically highlight areas in which the Company itself may play a more active role in being in the forefront of adopting operational procedures and technologies that will ensure maximum safety for crew and vessels and contribute to a better environment.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Board Compensation

We pay no cash compensation to our directors who are executive officers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the aggregate cash compensation of all of the members of the Board was $632,500 per the following annual fee schedule which was approved by the shareholders of the Company on June 24, 2021:

• Service on the Board - $60,000

• Service on the Audit Committee - $20,000

• Service on the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee - $10,000

• Service on the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee - $10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee - $10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee - $10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Audit Committee - $30,000

• Service as Chairman of the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee - $30,000

• Service as Chairman of the Board - $40,000

No fees are paid for service solely as a member of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee.

We do not provide benefits for directors upon termination of their service with us.

We do not propose any changes to the fee schedule set forth above for 2022. In Item No. 6, the Board recommends that the shareholders re-approve such fee schedule to be payable to non-management directors for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Management Company

Tsakos Energy Management Limited (“Tsakos Energy Management”), under its management agreement with us, provides overall executive and commercial management of our affairs in exchange for a monthly management fee. We paid Tsakos Energy Management aggregate management fees of $20.2 million in 2021, $20.3 million in 2020 and $20.1 million in 2019.

From the management fee we pay it, Tsakos Energy Management pays Tsakos Columbia Shipmanagement S.A. (“TCM”), a joint venture between Tsakos Shipping & Trading S.A. (“Tsakos Shipping”) and Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd, a management fee for its services as technical and operational manager of most of the vessels in our fleet. We prepay or reimburse TCM at cost for all vessel operating expenses payable by them in their capacity as technical manager of the fleet. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, an additional amount of $2.2 million, $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, was paid in fees directly by the Company to TCM for additional services it provided or arranged in relation to technical and seafarers’ training procedures required by the Company.

In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we granted Tsakos Energy Management an incentive award of $0.5 million, $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, a special award of $1.5 million was paid to Tsakos Energy Management in relation to newbuilding program in 2020. No special award was granted in 2021 or 2019.

Our management agreement with Tsakos Energy Management was amended and restated on March 8, 2007 and has a term of ten years that renews annually. Tsakos Energy Management may terminate the management

14

agreement at any time upon not less than one year’s notice. In addition, either party may terminate the management agreement under certain circumstances, including the following:

• certain events of bankruptcy or liquidation involving either party;

• a material breach by either party; or

• a failure by Tsakos Energy Management, for a continuous period of two months, materially to perform its duties because of certain events of force majeure.

Moreover, following a change in control of us, which would occur if at least one director were elected to our Board without having been recommended by our existing Board, Tsakos Energy Management may terminate the agreement on 10 business days’ notice. If Tsakos Energy Management terminates the agreement for this reason, then we would immediately be obligated to pay Tsakos Energy Management the present discounted value of all of the payments that would have otherwise been due under the management agreement up until June 30 of the tenth year following the date of termination plus the average of the incentive awards previously paid to Tsakos Energy Management multiplied by ten. Under these terms, therefore, a termination as of December 31, 2021 would have resulted in a payment of approximately $156.6 million. Under the terms of the Management Agreement between the Company and Tsakos Energy Management, the Company may terminate the agreement only under specific circumstances, such as breach of contract by the manager and change of control in the shareholding of the manager without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Management Compensation

Messrs. Tsakos, Saroglou, Durham and Papageorgiou serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Marine Officer, respectively. Such individuals are compensated by our manager, and, except for the equity compensation discussed below and the compensation paid to Mr. Papageorgiou for service on the OSE Committee, are not directly compensated by the Company. Although he is not a member of the Board, our Chief Marine Officer, Mr. Papageorgiou serves on the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee and receives the same $10,000 per annum cash compensation for service on such committee as is paid to non-executive members of the Board serving thereon.

Employees

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited has no salaried employees. All crew members are employed by the owning-company of the vessel on which they serve, except where the vessel may be on a bareboat charter-out, or where the vessels or the crewing thereof, are under third-party management arranged by our technical managers. All vessel-owning companies are subsidiaries of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited. Approximately 1,400 officers and crew members served on board the vessels we own and were managed by our technical managers as of December 31, 2021.

Share Ownership

The Common Shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers and/or companies affiliated with these individuals are disclosed in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above.

Stock Compensation Plan

At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved a share-based incentive plan (the “2012 Plan”). This plan permits us to grant share options or other share based awards to our directors and officers, to the officers of the vessels in the fleet, and to the directors, officers and employees of our manager, Tsakos Energy Management, and our commercial manager, Tsakos Shipping.

15

The purpose of the 2012 Plan is to provide a means to attract, retain, motivate and reward the persons whose performance of administrative, commercial, management, technical and maritime services are important for the Company by increasing their ownership in our Company. Awards under the 2012 Plan may include options to purchase our common shares, restricted share awards, other share-based awards (including share appreciation rights granted separately or in tandem with other awards) or a combination thereof.

The 2012 Plan is administered by our Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. Such committee has the authority, among other things, to: (i) select the present or prospective directors, officers, consultants and other personnel entitled to receive awards under the 2012 Plan; (ii) determine the form of awards, or combinations of awards; (iii) determine the number of shares covered by an award; and (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the 2012 Plan, including any restrictions or limitations on transfer, any vesting schedules or the acceleration of vesting schedules and any forfeiture provision or waiver of the same. The 2012 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000 Common Shares (giving effect to the 1-for-5 reverse split effected July 1, 2020), of which 134,290 Common Shares remain available for issuance. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, no RSUs or other awards were issued. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding (non-vested) RSUs or other equity awards.

Total stock compensation expense recognized was $nil for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited Audit Committee of the Board is composed entirely of non-management directors. The members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and financial literacy requirements set forth by the SEC and the NYSE and Nicholas F. Tommasino and Efstratios Georgios Arapoglou each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

The Audit Committee of the Board operates pursuant to a written charter, which may be accessed through the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at http://www.tenn.gr. In accordance with this charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and system of internal controls. The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.

The Company’s Management team has the primary responsibility of the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting processes. Specifically, the Audit Committee:

• Reviewed and discussed the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, with Company management and Ernst & Young (Hellas), its Independent Auditors.

• The Committee also reviewed related issues and disclosure items, including the Company’s earnings press releases, and performed its regular review of critical accounting policies and the processes by which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certify the information contained in its quarterly and annual filings.

• Discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Committee also received the written disclosures and letter from Ernst & Young (Hellas) required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young (Hellas)’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) their independence and related matters.

• As part of its review of audit matters, the Audit Committee supervises the relationship between the Company and its independent public accountants, including: having responsibility to recommend to the Board for Shareholder approval the selection, compensation and retention of the independent public accountants; approving the nature and type of their services; approving their audit and non-audit services; reviewing the plan for and the results of the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; and confirming their independence. The Audit Committee has evaluated Ernst & Young (Hellas)’s qualifications, performance and independence, including that of the lead audit partner. As part of the engagement process, the Audit Committee considers whether to rotate the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that the Shareholders approve the selection of Ernst & Young (Hellas) as the Company’s independent public accountants for the year 2022.

During the year 2021, the Audit Committee held four meetings. During three of these meetings, the Audit Committee met with representatives of Ernst & Young (Hellas), both with management present and in private sessions without management present, to discuss the results of the audit and to solicit their evaluation of the Company’s accounting principles, practices and judgments applied by management and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. At such meetings, the Audit Committee also met in private sessions with the Head of Compliance & Internal Audit, who reports directly to the Audit Committee, to discuss the audit results for 2021 and audit plans for 2022. The Audit Committee continually reviews specific areas of risk management with the Company.

17

In performing the above described functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of Company management and the independent public accounting firm, which, in their report, expresses an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s annual financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In addition, in reliance upon the reviews and discussions as outlined above, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC and presentation to the Company’s shareholders.

Independent Registered Public Accountants

The accounting firm of Ernst & Young (Hellas), Athens, Greece served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and has served in such capacity since 2002.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

An aggregate amount of €719,250 was billed and accrued for fiscal year 2021 relating to fees for audit services performed by Ernst & Young (Hellas), Athens, Greece. An aggregate amount of €686,700 was billed and accrued for fiscal year 2020 relating to fees for audit services. Audit fees consist of the audit of our annual financial statements, services rendered in connection with registration of securities and related comfort letters, consents related to SEC registration statements, as well as work generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, such as statutory audits and financial audits of subsidiaries.

The Audit Committee Charter sets forth the Company’s policy regarding retention of the independent auditors, requiring the Audit Committee to review and approve in advance the retention of the independent auditors for the performance of all audit and lawfully permitted non-audit services. The Chairman of the Audit

18

Committee, or in the absence of the Chairman, any member of the Audit Committee designated by the Chairman, has authority to approve in advance any lawfully permitted non-audit services. The Audit Committee is authorised to establish other policies and procedures for the pre-approval of such services. Where non-audit services are approved under delegated authority, the action must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

ITEM NO. 2 – APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL

Our Board of Directors, after careful consideration, has approved and adopted, and recommends that our shareholders approve, this proposal to amend the Company’s existing Memorandum of Association in order to increase the Company’s authorized share capital.

The Board of Directors recommends that our shareholders approve the amendment of the Company’s Memorandum of Association in order to increase the authorized capital from US$200,000,000 consisting of 35,000,000 Common Shares of a par value of $5.00 each and 25,000,000 Preferred Shares of a par value of $1.00 each, to US$325,000,000 consisting of 60,000,000 Common Shares of a par value of $5.00 each and 25,000,000 Preferred Shares of a par value of $1.00 each. The Board of Directors does not propose to increase the number of authorized Preferred Shares.

Shipping is a capital intensive industry that requires significant ongoing capital investment for fleet growth and renewal to meet the requirements of first class charterers. During the Company’s 29-year history, it has financed its growth from only four vessels to a current pro forma fleet of 70 vessels, including newbuildings, through equity issuances and bank loans. Since March 2017, principally to finance the growth of its fleet, it has sold over $430,000,000 of its Common Shares and Preferred Shares to investors (and has redeemed $100,000,000 of Preferred Shares and repurchased over $10,000,000 of Common Shares), including 9,973,827 Common Shares and 985,352 Preferred Shares sold in the last 12 months. Following the issuance of these Common Shares, the Company currently has 28,169,637 Common Shares outstanding as of the date hereof, which leaves fewer than seven million Common Shares available for issuance. While, other than its existing at-the-market equity sales program, no specific offering is currently contemplated, this number of available Common Shares is not sufficient to finance its further growth.

The Board believes that the increase in the Company’s authorized share capital is necessary for it to grow its fleet, to maintain its acceptance by energy majors that are its principal charterers and to take advantage of growth opportunities as they arise, as well as to have sufficient Common Shares available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans as a means of attracting and retaining key personnel and rewarding and incentivizing those who perform services for the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income, other comprehensive (loss)/income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated April 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Impairment of vessels, including right-of-use assets under operating leases

Description of the matter

As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s vessels, including right of use assets under operating leases, plus any unamortized dry-docking costs and leasehold improvements was $2,525,828 thousands. As discussed in Notes 1(i) and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its vessels and right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a vessel or a right-of-use asset plus any unamortized dry-docking costs and leasehold improvements might not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance in ASC 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). If indicators of impairment exist, management compares the future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated throughout the remaining useful life of each vessel or over the remaining lease term of the right-of-use asset to the carrying value plus any unamortized dry-docking costs and leasehold improvements. Where a vessel’s or a right of use asset’s carrying value plus any unamortized drydocking costs and leasehold improvements exceeds the undiscounted net operating cash flows, management will recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value plus any unamortized dry-docking costs and leasehold improvements over the fair value of the vessel or right-of-use asset. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized impairment charges of $86,368 thousands in relation to 7 vessels. Auditing management’s recoverability assessment was complex given the judgement and estimation uncertainty involved in determining the assumption of the future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days when forecasting the undiscounted net operating cash flows. These future charter rates are subjective as they involve the development and use of assumptions about the tanker and Liquified Natural Gas (“LNG”) shipping markets through the end of the useful lives of the vessels, or over the remaining lease term for the right of use assets under operating leases. These assumptions are forward looking and subject to the inherent unpredictability of future global economic and market conditions.

How we addressed the matter in our audit

We obtained an understanding of the Company’s impairment process, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls over the Company’s determination of future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days. We analyzed management’s impairment assessment by comparing the methodology used to evaluate impairment of each vessel and right-of-use- asset against the accounting guidance in ASC 360. To test management’s undiscounted net operating cash flow forecasts, our procedures included, among others, comparing the future vessel and right-of-use asset charter rates for non-contracted revenue days against internal and external market data sources, such as available market data from various analysts, historical data for the vessels, and recent economic and industry changes. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes to future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days in the determination of the net operating cash flows. We evaluated the accuracy of the forecast by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts. Our procedures also included testing the completeness and accuracy of the future charter rate data used within the forecasts. For vessels where the carrying value exceeded

F-3

the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, we inspected the independent broker valuation reports used by management to determine the market value. We evaluated the objectivity and competence of the independent brokers who performed the valuation by considering the work they were engaged to perform, professional qualifications, remuneration structure, and experience. We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in Notes 1(i) and 4.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) / income, other comprehensive (loss) / income, stockholders‘ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated April 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-5

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation and description of business: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (the “Holding Company”), and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company owns and operates a fleet of crude oil and product carriers including five vessels chartered-in and two liquified natural gas (“LNG”) carriers providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium or short-term charters.

On July 1, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common shares. In connection with the reverse stock split 33.2 fractional shares were cashed out. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented prior to the reverse stock split.

Impact of COVID-19 and conflict in Ukraine on the Company’s Business

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine will continue to negatively affect the global economy and demand for oil and charter rates, which may continue to have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial performance and the results of its operations. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods.

(b) Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and expenses, reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Although actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material.

(c) Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income: The consolidated statement of other comprehensive (loss) income, presents the change in equity (net assets) during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Reclassification adjustments are presented out of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the face of the statement in which the components of other comprehensive (loss) income are presented or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”, and presents items of net income, items of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and total comprehensive income in two separate and consecutive statements.

(d) Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets in which the U.S. Dollar is utilized to transact most business. The accounting books of the Company are also maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected within Vessel operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019—(Continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

(e) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: The Company classifies highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit and their equivalents with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Cash deposits with certain banks that may only be used for special purposes (including loan repayments) are classified as Restricted cash.

(f) Trade Accounts Receivable, Net and Credit Losses Accounting: Trade accounts receivable, net at each balance sheet date includes estimated recoveries from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings and revenue earned but not yet billed, net of any allowance for receivables deemed uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company’s management at each balance sheet date reviews all outstanding invoices and provides allowance for receivables deemed uncollectible primarily based on the aging of such balances and any amounts in dispute. During 2021 and 2020, the Company had no write offs ($3,218 during 2019) of trade accounts receivable, deemed uncollectible.

As of January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade accounts receivable. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses which will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The Company adopted the accounting standard using the prospective transition approach as of January 1, 2020, which resulted in an immaterial adjustment in the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectable accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to trade accounts receivable and changes in such, if any, are classified as allowance for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

The adoption of ASC 326 primarily impacted trade accounts receivable recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company assessed collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considered historical collectability based on past due status. The Company also considered customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to determine adjustments to historical loss data.

The Company assessed that any impairment of accounts receivable arising from operating leases, i.e. time charters, should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases, and not in accordance with Topic 326. Impairment of accounts receivable arising from voyage charters, which are accounted for in accordance with Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, are within the scope of Subtopic 326 and must therefore, be assessed for expected credit losses. No additional allowance was warranted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021.

No allowance was recorded on insurance claims as of January 1, 2020, December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, as their balances were immaterial. In addition, no allowance was recorded for cash equivalents as the majority of cash balances as of the balance sheet date were on time deposits with highly reputable credit institutions, for which periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions are performed.

(g) Inventories: Inventories consist of bunkers, lubricants, victualling and stores and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost is determined primarily by the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019—(Continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs.

(h) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels. Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of vessels includes the contract price and pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction and delivery of newbuildings, including capitalized interest, and expenses incurred upon the acquisition of second-hand vessels. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise, they are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the vessels, less an estimated residual value based on a scrap price. Effective October 1, 2021 and following management’s reassessment of the residual value of the vessels, the estimated scrap value per light weight ton (“LWT”) was increased to $0.43 from $0.39. Management’s estimate was based on the average demolition prices prevailing in the market during the last four years for which historical data were available. The effect of this change in accounting estimate, which did not require retrospective application as per ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, was to decrease net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, by $746 or $0.04 per weighted average number of shares, both basic and diluted. The decrease in the annual depreciation expense is expected to amount approximately $3.0 million per annum based on the useful lives of the Company’s existing fleet which are estimated at 25 years for crude and product oil carriers and 40 years for the LNG carriers from the date of original delivery from the shipyard.

(i) Impairment of Fixed Assets: The Company reviews vessels for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a vessel including any unamortized dry-docking costs (Note 1(k)) may not be recoverable. When such indicators are present, a vessel to be held and used is tested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. Net operating cash flows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding the use or probability of sale of each vessel, future revenues net of commissions, operating expenses, scheduled dry-dockings, expected off-hire and scrap values, and taking into account historical revenue data and published forecasts on future world economic growth and inflation. Should the carrying value of the vessel, including any unamortized dry-docking costs, exceed its estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows, impairment is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount plus any unamortized dry-docking costs over the fair market value of the asset. The Company determines the fair value of its vessels based on management estimates and assumptions and by making use of available market data and taking into consideration third party valuations. The review of the carrying amounts in connection with the estimated recoverable amount for the Company’s vessels and advances for vessels under construction as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, indicated an impairment charge of $86,368, $zero and $18,661, respectively (Note 4).

In addition, the Company reviews and tests its right-of use-assets for impairment at each reporting date by comparing their carrying amount plus any unamortized leasehold improvements (Note 1(k)) with the estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessels, considering three-year charter rates estimates and the average of those, over the remaining lease term (Note 4). The review of the carrying amounts in connection with the estimated recoverable amount for the Company’s right of use assets as of December 31, 2021, 2020, indicated no impairment charge.

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019—(Continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

(j) Reporting Assets held for sale: It is the Company’s policy to dispose of vessels when suitable opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when all applicable criteria enumerated under ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” are met and are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. An impairment charge for an asset held for sale is recognized when its fair value less cost to sell is lower than its carrying value at the date it meets the held for sale criteria and upon subsequent measurement. At December 31, 2021, there were no vessels held for sale. At December 31, 2020, the Company considered that the suezmax tankers, Arctic and Antarctic met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2019, the Company considered that the suezmax tankers Archangel, Alaska, Silia T and the aframax tanker Izumo Princess met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

(k) Accounting for Special Survey, Dry-docking Costs and Leasehold improvements: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are reported in Deferred Charges and leasehold improvements and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due (approximately every five years during the first fifteen years of the vessels’ life and every two and a half years within the remaining useful life of the vessels). Costs relating to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The unamortized portion of special survey and dry-docking costs for a vessel that is sold and/ or classified as held for sale, is included as part of the carrying amount of the vessel in determining the gain or loss on sale of the vessel.

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for leasehold improvement costs whereby actual costs incurred are reported in Deferred Charges and leasehold improvements and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of those leasehold improvements and the remaining lease term.

(l) Loan Costs: Costs incurred for obtaining new loans or refinancing of existing loans, upon application of certain criteria, are capitalized and amortized over the term of the respective loan, using the effective interest rate method. Any unamortized balance of costs relating to loans repaid or refinanced as debt extinguishments is expensed in the period the repayment or extinguishment is made. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, are presented as a reduction of long-term debt (Note 6).

(m) Accounting for Leases: The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (or ASU 2016-02) and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842)—Targeted Improvements, on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the package of practical expedients that allows companies not to reassess whether any expired or expiring contracts are or contain leases, lease classification for any expired or expiring leases and initial direct costs for any expired or expiring leases. Following the adoption and based on the Company’s analysis, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in a change in the accounting method for the lease portion of the daily charter hire for the Company’s chartered-in vessels accounted for as operating leases with firm periods of greater than one year.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions: The Company has entered into seven sale and leaseback transactions accounted for as operating leases as of December 31, 2021 (Note 4). According to the provisions of ASC 842-20-30-1, at the commencement date, a lessee shall measure both of the following: a) The lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at lease commencement and b) The right-of-use asset, which shall consist of all of the following: i) The

amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, ii) Any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received and iii) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

After lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability for an operating lease at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (Note 4). The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at the amount of the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term and any unamortized initial direct costs.

Any changes made to leased assets to customize it for a particular use or need of the lessee are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Amounts attributable to leasehold improvements are presented separately from the related right-of-use asset (Note 1(k)).

(n) Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Voyage revenues are generated from voyage charter agreements and contracts of affreightment, bareboat charter, time charter agreements (including profit sharing clauses) or pooling arrangements.

Voyage charters and contracts of affreightment: Voyage charters, are contracts made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage in return of payment of an agreed upon freight rate per ton of cargo. Contracts of affreightment are contracts for multiple voyage charter employments. Revenues from voyage charters in the spot market or under contracts of affreightment are recognized ratably from commencement of cargo loading to completion of discharge of the current cargo, in accordance with ASC 606. Voyage charter payments are due upon discharge of the cargo. Revenues from voyage charters and contracts of affreightment amounted to $255,017, $259,015 and $215,197 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, receivables from voyage charters and contracts of affreightment amounted to $23,160 and $21,268 respectively, the majority of them collected upon completion of the voyage.

Demurrage revenue, which is included in voyage revenues, represents charterers’ reimbursement for any potential delays exceeding the allowed lay time as per charter party agreement and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Time, bareboat charters and pooling arrangements: For time charters and bareboat arrangements, a contract exists, and the vessel is delivered (commencement date) to the charterer, for a fixed period of time, at rates that are determined in the charter agreement and the relevant voyage expenses (i.e. port dues, canal tolls, pilotages and fuel consumption) burden the charterer. The charterer has the right, upon delivery of the vessel, to control the use of the vessel as it has the right to: (i) decide the (re)delivery time of the vessel; (ii) arrange the ports from which the vessel shall pass; (iii) give directions to the master of the vessel regarding the vessel’s operations (i.e. speed, route, bunkers purchases, etc.); (iv) sub-charter the vessel and (v) consume any income deriving from the vessel’s charter.

Thus, time and bareboat charter agreements are accounted for as operating leases, ratably on a straight line over the duration of the charter agreement and therefore, fall under the scope of ASC 842 (Note 1 (m)).

For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of the generated total revenues, net of expenses incurred by the pool. Revenues and voyage expenses are pooled and allocated to each pool’s participants on a time charter equivalent, or TCE basis, in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for as a variable rate

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019—(Continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

operating leases, falling under the scope of ASC 842 (Note 1(m)) and is recognized for the applicable period, when the collectability is reasonably assured, based on the net revenue distributed by the pool.

The charterer may charter the vessel with or without the owner’s crew and other operating services (time charter/pooling arrangements, and bareboat charter, respectively). Thus, the agreed daily rates (hire rates) in the case of time charter agreements and pooling arrangements also include compensation for part of the agreed crew and other operating services provided by the owner (non-lease components). The Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components of time charter agreements and pooling arrangements as a combined component in its consolidated financial statements, having taken into account that the non-lease component would be accounted for ratably on a straight-line basis over the duration of the time charter and pooling arrangements in accordance with ASC 606 and that the lease component is considered as the predominant component. In this respect, the Company qualitatively assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter agreements and pooling arrangements.

Profit sharing contracts are accounted for as variable consideration and included in the transaction price to the extent that variable amounts earned beyond an agreed fixed minimum hire are determinable at the reporting date and when there is no uncertainty associated with the variable consideration. Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charter’s average daily income over an agreed amount.

Revenue from time charter hire arrangements with an escalation clause is recognized on a straight-line basis over the charter term unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the vessel is employed.

Revenues from time, bareboat and pooling charter arrangements amounted to $291,103, $385,120 and $382,255 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenues generated from time charter and bareboat are usually collected in advance.

Voyage related and vessel operating costs: Voyage expenses primarily consist of port charges, canal dues and bunker (fuel) costs relating to spot charters or contract of affreightment. These voyage expenses are borne by the Company unless the vessel is on time-charter, in which case they are borne by the charterer. Commissions (i.e. brokerage and address) are included in voyage expenses under all types of employment. All voyage expenses are expensed as incurred, apart from bunker expenses which consist of part of the contract fulfillment costs and are recognized as a deferred contract cost and amortized over the voyage period when the relevant criteria under ASC 340-40 are met. Unamortized deferred contract costs are included in the consolidated balance sheet under Capitalized voyage expenses. Costs amortized during the year ended December 31, 2021, to fulfill contracts were $5,466. Commissions are expensed as incurred. Vessel operating costs include crew costs, insurances, repairs and maintenance, spares, stores, lubricants, quality and safety costs and other expenses such as tonnage tax, registration fees and communication costs, as well as foreign currency gains or losses. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. Under a bareboat charter, the charterer assumes responsibility for all voyage and vessel operating expenses and risk of operation. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize contract fulfillment costs for time charters under ASC 340-40.

Unearned revenue: Unearned revenue represents cash received prior to the year-end for which related service has not been provided. It primarily relates to charter hire paid in advance and to revenue resulting from charter agreements with varying rates.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Customers’ concentration: Voyage revenues for 2021, 2020 and 2019 included revenues derived from significant charterers as follows (in percentages of total voyage revenues):

Charterer	2021	2020	2019
A	14%	12%	13%
B	11%	9%	11%
C	8%	9%	10%

(o) Segment Reporting: The Company does not evaluate the operating results by type of vessel or by type of charter or by type of cargo. Although operating results may be identified by type of vessel, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results primarily by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet. The Company operates two LNG carriers which meet the quantitative thresholds used to determine reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker does not review the operating results of these vessels separately or make any decisions about resources to be allocated to these vessels or assess their performance separately; therefore, the LNG carriers do not constitute a separate reportable segment. The Company’s vessels operate on many trade routes throughout the world and, therefore, the provision of geographic information is considered impracticable by management. For the above reasons, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the worldwide maritime transportation of liquid energy related products.

(p) Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company regularly enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations of interest rates associated with its specific borrowings. Also, the Company enters into bunker swap contracts and put or call options to manage its exposure to fluctuations of bunker prices associated with the consumption of bunkers by its vessels. Interest rate and bunker price differentials paid or received under the swap agreements are recognized as part of Interest and finance costs, net. On the inception of a put or call option on bunkers an asset or liability is recognized. The subsequent changes in its fair value and realized payments or receipts upon exercise of the options are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) as part of the interest and finance costs, net. All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. On the inception date of the derivative contract, the Company evaluates the derivative as an accounting hedge of the variability of cash flow to be paid of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until earnings are affected by the forecasted transaction. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes occur. Realized gains or losses on early termination of undesignated derivative instruments are also classified in earnings in the period of termination of the respective derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges of the variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction to a specific forecasted transaction. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. In accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company may prospectively discontinue the hedge accounting for an existing hedge if the applicable

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

criteria are no longer met, the derivative instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised or if the Company removes the designation of the respective cash flow hedge. In those circumstances, the net gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, unless the forecasted transaction is no longer probable in which case the net gain or loss is reclassified into earnings immediately.

(q) Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines, and provides guidance as to the measurement of fair value. ASC 820 applies when assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements are to be measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (Note 14).

(r) Going concern: The Company evaluates whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern by applying the provisions of ASC 205-40. In more detail, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. As part of such evaluation, the Company did not identify any conditions that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

(s) Treasury stock: Treasury stock is stock that is repurchased by the issuing entity, reducing the number of outstanding shares in the open market. When shares are repurchased, they may either be cancelled or held for reissue. If not cancelled, such shares are referred to as treasury stock. Treasury stock is essentially the same as unissued capital and reduces ordinary share capital. The cost of the acquired shares should generally be shown as a deduction from stockholders’ equity. Dividends on such shares held in the entity’s treasury should not be reflected as income and not shown as a reduction in equity. Gains and losses on sales of treasury stock should be accounted for as adjustments to stockholders’ equity and not as part of income. Depending on whether the shares are acquired for reissuance or retirement, treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method or the constructive retirement method. The cost method is also used, when reporting entity management has not made decisions as to whether the reacquired shares will be retired, held indefinitely or reissued. The Company has elected for the repurchase of its common shares to be accounted for under the cost method. Under this method, the treasury stock account is charged for the aggregate cost of shares reacquired.

(t) Accounting for transactions under common control: Common control transaction is any transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests between entities or businesses that are under common control by an ultimate parent or controlling shareholder before and after the transaction. Common control transactions may have characteristics that are similar to business combinations but do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as business combinations because, from the perspective of the ultimate parent or controlling shareholder, there has not been a change in control over the acquiree. Due to the fact common control transactions do not result in a change in control at the ultimate parent or controlling shareholder level, the Company does not account for such transactions at fair value. Rather, common control transactions are accounted for at the carrying amount of the net assets or equity interests transferred.

(u) Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders: The Company computes net (loss) income per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common shares and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed.

As such, net losses for the periods presented were not allocated to the Company’s participating security.

New Accounting Pronouncements—Not Yet Adopted

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The ASU clarifies that all derivative instruments affected by changes to the interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment due to reference rate reform are in the scope of ASC 848. As such, entities may apply certain optional expedients in ASC 848 to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR, or another rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if there is a change to the interest rate used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment. In addition, the ASU clarifies other aspects of the guidance in ASC 848 and provides new guidance on how to address the effects of the cash compensation adjustment that is provided as part of the above change on, certain aspects of hedge accounting. The ASU is effective for all entities as of January 7, 2021, allows for retrospective or prospective application with certain conditions, and generally can be adopted through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, considering that none of the Company’s floating rate credit facilities, based on the U.S. dollar LIBOR rates, were discontinued as of January 1, 2022. In March 2022, the Company has entered into a loan agreement based on Compounded Reference Rate of the day.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Transactions with Related Parties

(a) Tsakos Energy Management Limited (the “Management Company”): The Holding Company has a Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Management Company, a Liberian corporation, to provide overall executive and commercial management of its affairs for a monthly fee, which may be adjusted per the Management Agreement of March 8, 2007, effective from January 1, 2008, at the beginning of each year, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, if both parties agree. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the monthly fees for operating conventional vessels were $27.5. Monthly fees for the suezmax Eurochampion 2004, the aframaxes Maria Princess and Sapporo Princess, the VLCCs Ulysses, Hercules I, which are managed by a third-party manager, amounted to $28.0 for 2021 and $27.7 for 2020 and $27.5 for 2019. Monthly fees for third-party managed vessels, the handymaxes Afrodite and Ariadne, amounted to $27.5. Chartered in vessels or chartered out on a bare-boat basis and for vessels under construction monthly fees are $20.4, $35.0 for the DP2 shuttle tankers, while the monthly fees for LNG carriers amounted to $37.8 for 2021 and $37.3 for 2020 and $36.9 for 2019. The Management Company, for services rendered, charged $20,203, $20,271 and $20,147 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Management fees for vessels are included in the General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

In addition to the Management fee, the Management Agreement provides for an incentive award to the Management Company, which is at the absolute discretion of the Holding Company’s Board of Directors.

In 2021, the Company issued 92,093 Series D Preferred Shares, 143,708 Series E Preferred Shares and 741,259 Series F Preferred Shares for net proceeds of $2,240, $3,501, and $18,000, respectively.

On March 24, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program for its common and/or its preferred shares of up to $50,000. Shares may be purchased from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, which may include derivative transactions, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by the Company and the program may be discontinued at any time.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company acquired and held as treasury stock, 19,836 and 978,936 common shares for a total amount of $168 and $9,834, respectively, and did not purchase any preferred shares. No common or preferred share repurchases were made by the Company in 2019. In 2021, the Company sold 320,599 shares from its treasury stock for net proceeds of $3,211 resulting in a loss of $273 included in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

On June 22, 2020, the Company announced a one-for-five (1-for-5) reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares which was approved by its shareholders at the annual meeting on May 28, 2020. The reverse split became effective on July 1, 2020. The par value of each common share was adjusted from $1.00 per common share to $5.00 per common share. The reverse share split affected all common shares and reduced the number of authorized common shares from 175,000,000 to 35,000,000 and the number of outstanding common shares of the Company from 94,005,410 to 18,801,108 as of July 1, 2020. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented.

On October 30, 2020, the Company redeemed all of its 2,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share along with the payment of a final dividend of $0.5547 per share, declared on September 30, 2020. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the Series C Preferred Shares, amounting to $2,493, was recognized as a reduction of retained earnings as a deemed dividend, and has been considered in the calculations of Loss per Common Share in 2020 (Note 10).

On July 30, 2019, the Company redeemed all of its 2,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share along with the payment of a final dividend of $0.50 per share, declared on June 28, 2019. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the Series B Preferred Shares, amounting to $2,750, was recognized as a reduction of retained earnings as a deemed dividend, and has been considered in the calculations of Loss per Common Share in 2019 (Note 10).

In September 2019, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement for the private placement of 3,500,000 Series G Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference $10.00 per share (the “Series G Convertible Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, raising $33,984, net of structuring fee and other expenses. The Series G Convertible Preferred Shares have a stated coupon rate of 0%, subject to adjustment in the event of a cross-default or failure to redeem on any redemption date and participate on an as-converted basis in dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common shares.

The Series G Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, representing a conversion rate of two-thirds of a common share per Series G Convertible Preferred Share. All or a portion of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares will automatically convert into common shares at the conversion rate if the trading price of the Company’s

common shares exceed certain levels between 130% and 170% of the conversion price. The holders, however, will be prohibited from converting the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder would own more than 9.99% of the total number common shares then issued and outstanding, unless a 61-day notice is delivered to the Company.

The conversion price is subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments relating to the issuance of common shares as a dividend or the subdivision, combination, or reclassification of common shares into a greater or lesser number of common shares. The Company could have also redeemed in full or in part the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares prior to September 1, 2020, for cash, at the as-converted value of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, if the trading price of the common shares exceeds certain levels. The Company did not exercise the redemption option as of December 31, 2021.

The Series G Convertible Preferred Shares did not generate a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) upon issuance as the fair value of the Company’s common shares was lower than the conversion price. The Series G Convertible Preferred Shares did not meet the criteria for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. Additionally, the Company determined that the nature of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares was more akin to an equity instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion options were clearly and closely related to the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares. As such, the conversion options were not required to be bifurcated from the equity host under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company also determined that the redemption call option did meet the definition of a derivative, but that the value of the derivative was zero due to the expectations under which the call option would be exercised. On September 1, 2020, the redemption call option expired unexercised.

On December 23, 2019 and January 15, 2020, 875,000 and 10,000 Series G Convertible Preferred Shares converted into 583,333 and 6,667 common shares, respectively.

The holders of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares generally do not have voting rights. However, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, the Company may not adopt any amendment to its memorandum of association or bye-laws that materially or adversely alters or affects the preferences, powers or rights of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares in any respect or any amendment to the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares Certificate of Designations. The Series G Convertible Preferred Shares rank pari passu with the Company’s other outstanding series of preferred shares and senior to the Company’s common shares with respect to dividend distributions and distributions upon any liquidation event.

On February 1, 2021 (the “Initial Redemption Date”) and August 2, 2021, the Company redeemed 1,798,651 and 357,063 Series G Convertible Preferred Shares in exchange for 1,900,000 and 388,841 Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares of Shyris Shipping Company S.A. (“Shyris Shipping”), respectively a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, each with a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share representing the full mandatory redemption price of $10.56 and $10.89, respectively, per Series G Convertible Preferred Share ($19,000,000 and $3,888,416 in the aggregate, respectively) payable for the number of Series G Convertible Preferred Shares. The difference between the carrying value of the redeemed Series G Convertible Preferred shares and the fair value of the Shyris Shipping Company Preferred Shares, amounting to $2,171, in total, was recognized as a deemed dividend to the holders of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, and has been considered in the calculation of Loss per Common Share in 2021 (Note 10).

The redemption price at which the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares exchanged was the higher of 95% of the as-converted value of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, based on a six-month volume

weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common shares, or a price providing for a return of 7.75% per annum on an actual/360-day basis on the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, taking into account all dividends actually received on the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares. If certain limitations intended to ensure Shyris Shipping’s compliance with Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, cease to apply prior to the fifth anniversary of the Series G Closing Date, some or all of the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares that remain outstanding as of that date will be mandatorily redeemed for Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares or to the extent the aggregate mandatory redemption price of such Series G Convertible Preferred Shares, together with all Series G Convertible Preferred Shares previously redeemed for Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares, exceeds $35,000, converted into common shares at the conversion rate (unless the Company elects to redeem such Series G Convertible Preferred Shares for cash). After the fifth anniversary of the share purchase agreement, any Series G Convertible Preferred Shares will automatically convert into the Company’s common shares at the conversion rate (unless the Company elects to redeem such Series G Convertible Preferred Shares for cash) or be redeemed for Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares. The Series G Convertible Preferred shareholders will also have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares for cash, in the event of non-compliance with certain requirements relating to Shyris Shipping. The Company had 459,286 Series G Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

The Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares of Shyris Shipping (the “Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares”) are entitled to receive cumulative semi-annual dividends from Shyris Shipping at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable in arrears on the 1st day of March and September of each year, as, when and if declared by the Shyris Shipping Board of Directors. Shyris Shipping paid dividends on the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares amounting to $864 in the period ended December 31, 2021. On March 1, 2022, Shyris Shipping paid dividends on the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares amounting to $858 for the period September 1, 2021 to and including February 28,2022. As long as Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares are outstanding, Shyris Shipping cannot declare or pay dividends to the Company or incur additional indebtedness without the consent of the holder of Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares.

The initial liquidation preference of the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares is $10.00 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments. Upon any liquidation or dissolution of Shyris Shipping, holders of Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, the liquidation preference of the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends ratably with any pari passu securities, after satisfaction of all liabilities to Shyris Shipping creditors, before any distribution is made to or set aside for the holders of junior shares, including the common shares of Shyris Shipping owned by the Company.

The holders of the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares have no right to vote on matters on which shareholders of the Company are entitled to vote. The holders of the Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares generally do not have any other voting rights, however, in the event that six semi-annual dividends, whether consecutive or not, payable on Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares are in arrears, the holders of Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares, will have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one member of Shyris Shipping’s board of directors and the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, are required for Shyris Shipping to take certain actions.

The Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares are non-convertible and perpetual, and are redeemable by Shyris Shipping, in whole or in part, at redemption prices that decline over time from 112.5% to 100% of the deemed issuance price, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares did not meet the criteria for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and their value of $19,000 and

$3,889, respectively, upon issuance was included in non-controlling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2021 (Note 11). Additionally, the Company determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded redemption features were clearly and closely related to the host contract, apart from the feature discussed below.

If Shyris Shipping, directly or indirectly, sells or otherwise voluntarily disposes of a vessel, including any of the four conventional tankers its wholly-owned subsidiaries currently own, or a stake in any vessel owning company or causes a vessel to be damaged or a charter or management agreement relating to any vessel to be terminated or breached, then all net proceeds (after payment of related expenses and associated debt) received therefrom is required to be used to redeem Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis. The Company determined that the redemption feature did meet the definition of a derivative, but the fair value of the instrument is zero due to the expectations under which the feature would be exercised.

On April 15, 2022, Shyris Shipping redeemed 75,000 of the outstanding Shyris Shipping Preferred Shares for an aggregate redemption price of $757.

9. Accumulated other comprehensive loss

In 2021, Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased to $17,175 (increased to $36,994 in 2020) mainly due to unrealized gains from hedging financial instruments of $19,819 (losses of $18,641 and $9,693 in 2020 and 2019, respectively).

10. Loss per Common Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. The Company considered all series of redeemable convertible preferred shares to have been participating securities as the holders were entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend was paid on common shares. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred shares as the holders of redeemable convertible preferred shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period.

For purposes of this calculation, potential redeemable convertible preferred shares of 306,191 and 1,743,607 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are considered common shares equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented.

11. Non-controlling Interest in Subsidiaries

The Company owns 51% of Mare Success S.A., the holding-company of two Panamanian registered companies which own the vessels Maya until May 19, 2021, the date of vessel sale and Inca, two Liberian registered companies which own the vessels Selini and Salamina and two Marshall Islands registered companies which own the vessels Byzantion and Bosporos. 49% of Mare Success S.A. is owned by Polaris Oil Shipping Inc. (“Polaris”), an affiliate of one of the Company’s major charterers, Flopec Petrolera Ecuatoriana (“Flopec”). Mare Success S.A. is fully consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. There have been no transactions between Polaris and the Company since the incorporation of Mare Success S.A., whereas approximately 7.6% of the Company’s 2021 revenue (8.6% in 2020 and 6.2% in 2019) was generated through charter agreements with Flopec.

In April 2020, Mare Success S.A. increased its paid-in-capital by $8,163 of which $4,163 constituted the 51% portion contributed by the Company and the $4,000 constituted the 49% portion contributed by Polaris. After the recapitalization, the shareholding of Mare Success S.A. remained at 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by Polaris. The additional paid-in capital was made to finance part of the intragroup sale of vessels, in particular, the handysize tankers, Byzantion and Bosporos. This transaction did not affect vessels’ carrying values on a consolidated basis.

In June 2019, Mare Success S.A increased its paid-in capital by $20,408, of which $10,408 constituted the 51% portion contributed by the Company and the $10,000 constituted the 49% portion contributed by

Polaris. After the recapitalization, the shareholding of Mare Success S.A. remained at 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by Polaris. The additional paid-in capital was made to finance part of the intragroup sale of vessels, in particular, the panamax tankers, Selini and Salamina. This transaction did not affect vessels’ carrying values on a consolidated basis.

The Company owns 100% of Shyris Shipping, the holding-company of four Marshall Islands registered companies which own the vessels Caribbean Voyager, Mediterranean Voyager, Apollo Voyager and Artemis Voyager. Upon partial redemption of the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Shares in February and August 2021, AY Tank Limited (“AY Tank”) obtained in exchange of such transaction Shyris Shipping preferred stock, consisting of 2,288,841 Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2021, par value $0.001 per share, each with a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, entitled to receive cumulative semi-annual dividends from Shyris Shipping at a rate of 7.50% per annum (Note 8).

12. Commitments and Contingencies

As at December 31, 2021, the Company had under construction one shuttle tanker, one LNG carrier and four dual fuel LNG powered aframax tankers.

The total contracted amount remaining to be paid for the six vessels under construction plus the extra costs agreed as at December 31, 2021, were $480,048. The amount of $240,515 is due to be paid in 2022 and the amount of $239,533 in 2023.

In the ordinary course of the shipping business, various claims and losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents and other suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Management believes that all such matters are either adequately covered by insurance or are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial condition.

Brazilian authorities have charged certain shipbrokers with various offenses in connection with charters entered into between a major state oil entity and various international shipowners. In 2020, in parallel with U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigations regarding whether the circumstances surrounding these charters, including the actions taken by these shipbrokers, constituted non-compliance with provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) applicable to the Company, the Company began investigating these matters. The Company is always committed to doing business in accordance with anti-corruption laws and is cooperating with these agencies.

13. Income Taxes

Under the laws of the countries of the Company’s subsidiaries’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration (Greece, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Panama, Bahamas, Cyprus, Malta), the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in the Vessel operating expenses.

The Company is not expected to be subject to United States Federal income tax on its gross income from the international operations of ships. In general, foreign persons operating ships to and from the United States are subject to United States Federal income tax of 4% of their United States source gross transportation income, which equals 50% of their gross income from transportation to or from the United States. The Company believes that it is exempt from United States Federal income tax on its United States source gross transportation income, as each vessel-operating subsidiary is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to corporations organized in the United States, and derives income from the international operation of ships and satisfies the stock ownership test as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations as a result of the Company’s stock being primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States. Under the regulations, a Company’s stock is considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market if (i) one or more classes of its stock representing 50% or more of its outstanding shares, by voting power and value, is listed on the market and is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of stock traded during the taxable year is at least 10% of the average number of shares of the stock outstanding during the taxable year. Other requirements such as the substantiation and reporting requirements under the regulations also must be satisfied to qualify for the exemption from United States Federal income tax.

14. Financial Instruments

(a) Interest rate risk: The Company is subject to interest rate risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate term loans as described in Notes 6 and 7.

(b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial Instruments consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable, short-term and long-term receivable related to seller’s credits under sale and leaseback transactions and derivatives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019—(Continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings and performing periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the counterparties.

(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, margin deposits, accounts payable, due from(to) related parties and current portion of obligations under operating leases, approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the long-term obligations under operating leases approximates their fair value given the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the normalized expected market rates of interest is insignificant. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The Company performs relevant enquiries on a periodic basis to assess the recoverability of the long-term receivable related to seller’s credits under sale and leaseback transactions and estimates that the amount presented on the accompanying balance sheet approximates the amount that is expected to be received by the Company at the end of the non-cancellable lease period.

The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and bunker swap agreements discussed in Note 6 above are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than derivatives at December 31, 2021 and 2020, are as follows:

	2021						2020
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Financial assets (liabilities)
Cash and cash equivalents		117,192			117,192			160,475			160,475
Restricted cash		10,005			10,005			11,296			11,296
Margin deposits		5,849			5,849			6,153			6,153
Long-term receivable (including short-term portion)		35,904			35,904			27,294			27,294
Financial liability		(4,193	)		(4,193	)		(5,148	)		(5,148	)

Debt		(1,380,648	)		(1,380,648	)		(1,509,794	)		(1,509,794	)

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives by the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of respective master agreement executed with counterparties or exchanges and is required when agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded. As of December 31, 2021, the Company deposited cash collateral related to its derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements of $5,849, ($6,153 as of December 31, 2020), which is recorded within margin deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
