     Through Cycle Value Generation  16  We used the trailing 5-year historical Aframax spot charter rates (Q1/2017 – Q4/2021) and assumed all vessels operated in the spot market incurring the expenses in our indicative run rate break-even table, to determine quarterly cash flows that may have been available for dividends to common shareholders after higher of capital costs or replacement reserves and after maintenance reserves When we exceed our cash break-even level, we pay any preferred dividends in cash. Otherwise, we assume that the dividends are paid in shares of common stock  $15.8m  $6.9m  $0.3m  Cash Break-even $16,239 $13,634  -$3.9m  -$5.9m  Quarterly FCF 5 Tankers  Quarterly FCF 10 Tankers  6 Quarters   $34.2m  $16.3m  $3.2m  Highest $52,853  Average $17,294   High $32,710  -$5.4m  -$9.4m  14 Quarters  Low $8,000   Lowest $3,479        8 Quarters    12 Quarters   Source: Company  Results are hypothetical and may not be repeated in the future    Pro forma a 10-tanker fleet, charter rates above our break-even levels generating multiples of quarterly cash flow compared to those below break-even levels 
 

   Dividend Policy – Quarterly Calcs  17  The company expects to pay dividends only if during the preceding quarter both Quarterly Cash Flow and Quarter End Excess Cash are positiveQuarter End Excess Cash is defined as actual end of quarter Cash and Cash Equivalents over Minimum Cash Threshold. Minimum Cash Threshold is defined as the sum of $5.0m minimum liquidity pursuant to the loan agreements and $1.5m per vesselQuarterly Cash Flow is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses, less vessel operating expenses, less general and administrative expenses, less - the greater of i) net interest expense and repayment of debt or ii) fleet replacement reserves - and less maintenance reserves for the fleetThe quarterly dividend payments, if any, are expected to be based on a pay-out ratio of the lower of i) Quarterly Cash Flow and ii) Quarter End Excess CashWe expect the payout ratio of 50% to increase as the company leverage decreases – maximum 90% if leverage (total debt/equity market capitalization) is <10%  Source: Company
