Explanatory Note

The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 31, 2009 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended, is to report the change in beneficial ownership of Paragon Shipping Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Issuer”) by Michael Bodouroglou, Innovation Holdings Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation controlled by Michael Bodouroglou (“Innovation Holdings”), Loretto Finance Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation controlled by Michael Bodouroglou (“Loretto”) and Allseas Marine S.A., a Liberian corporation controlled by Michael Bodouroglou and the parent company of Loretto (“Allseas” and together with Michael Bodouroglou, Innovation Holdings and Loretto, the “Reporting Persons”) as a result of the acquisition by Innovation Holdings of 200,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”) issued pursuant to an award granted under the Paragon Shipping Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Item 1.
Security and Issuer.
 

No material change from the Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on December 31, 2012.
 
     
Item 2.
Identity and Background.
 
     
No material change from the Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on December 31, 2012.
 
     
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 

On February 25, 2013, the Innovation Holdings received an award of 200,000 restricted Common Shares of the Issuer that were granted pursuant to the Plan and a restricted share award agreement, dated as of February 25, 2013 (the “Award Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and Innovation Holdings, as compensation for the services of Michael Bodouroglou as the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The 200,000 restricted Common Shares awarded to Innovation Holdings will vest ratably over a two-year period commencing on December 31, 2013.  No additional compensation was paid for the 200,000 restricted Common Shares acquired by Innovation Holdings.

In addition, since the filing of the Schedule 13D/A with the SEC on December 31, 2012, Loretto received an aggregate of 98,039 Common Shares pursuant to that certain purchase agreement, dated November 10, 2009, as clarified and amended by a supplemental agreement, effective from December 1, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Allseas and Loretto, pursuant to which in the event of a capital increase, future equity offerings by the Issuer or the issuance of Common Shares to a third party or third parties in the future, other than Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan (as the same may be further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) or any future equity incentive plans the Issuer may adopt, the Issuer has agreed to issue to Loretto, at no cost to Loretto, additional common shares in an amount equal to 2% of the total number of Common Shares issued pursuant to such capital increase, equity offering or third party issuance, as applicable. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, any Common Shares to be issued to Loretto under the Purchase Agreement may only be issued once the capital increase, equity offering or third party issuance giving rise to the obligation to issue shares to Loretto under the Purchase Agreement has closed and any applicable contingencies, forfeiture rights or conditions precedent relating to such capital increase, equity offering or third party issuance have lapsed or expired or have been cancelled or terminated, unless otherwise agreed by the mutual agreement of the parties.  Accordingly, in connection with the private placement of 4,901,961 Common Shares by the Issuer to Innovation Holdings that closed on December 24, 2012 and the expiration of the Issuer’s related repurchase option upon the finalization of the Issuer’s debt restructuring, effective February 15, 2013, as discussed in Item 6 below, the Issuer issued 98,039 Common Shares to Loretto under the Purchase Agreement, representing 2.0% of the 4,901,961 Common Shares sold to Innovation Holdings in the private placement.
