Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock’s statements of designation, together the “Statements of Designation’) as a result of a change in the Series C Preferred Stock’s and the Series D Preferred Stock’s conversion price.
|

|

|
|
This Amendment No.2 to the Schedule 13D relates to the Shares of the Issuer. The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is Pendelis

|

|

|
|
This Amendment No.2 to the Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Ioannis Zafirakis (“Zafirakis”), a citizen of Greece, and Abra Marinvest Inc., a Marshall Islands
corporation (“Abra”). Zafirakis and Abra are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons” Zafirakis is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Abra and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Shares
beneficially owned by Abra.
The principal business address for Zafirakis is Pendelis 16, 17564 Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece. The principal business address for Abra is Pendelis 26, 17564 Palaio
Faliro, Athens, Greece.

violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were not and are not subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
|
|
|
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
|
|
Pursuant to the Issuer’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, 2,657 awarded Series C Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), have
vested, of which the Reporting Persons own 462 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, and in accordance with their terms, have become convertible at the Reporting Persons’ option, giving effect to certain ownership restrictions contained in
the Series C Preferred Stock’s statement of designation, including that the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into the Issuers’ Shares to the extent that such conversion would result in the Reporting Persons becoming
the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding Shares.
As partial consideration for the Issuer’s purchase of the m/v Baltimore and m/v Melia from Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping”), the Issuer issued shares of its 7.0%
Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) to Diana Shipping. Diana Shipping exercised its right to convert shares of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Issuer’s Shares in
accordance with the Statement of Designations defining the rights, terms and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock. Diana Shipping distributed on December 15, 2022 and June 9, 2023, respectively, all of the common shares issued upon the
conversion of certain shares of Series D Preferred Stock to its common shareholders (other than those electing to receive shares of Series D Preferred Stock) of record as of the respective distribution record dates (the “Record Dates”), on a
pro rata basis (both distributions referred to as the “Distributions”). In connection with the Distributions, Diana Shipping allowed its common shareholders of record as of the Record Date to elect to receive the number of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock allocable to such shareholder instead of the Shares.
The Reporting Persons, as common shareholders of Diana Shipping as of the Record Dates, elected to receive their Diana Shipping distribution in shares of Series D
Preferred Stock. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of Shares through their ownership of Series D Preferred Stock which may be converted into common shares at the Reporting Persons’ option, subject to certain
ownership restrictions contained in the Series D Preferred Stock’s statement of designation, including that shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into the Issuer’s common shares to the extent that such conversion
would result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding common Shares.
|
|
|
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction.
|
|
Zafirakis is a director of the Board of Directors and a member of the Executive Committee of the Issuer and may have influence over the corporate
activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares in connection with the Issuer’s equity awards and the Distributions as described herein solely for investment
purposes. The Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may acquire additional Shares, including in connection with the provision of any services or other strategic transactions with the Issuer, or dispose of any or all of the
Shares they then own depending upon an ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, other investment considerations and/or other factors. The Reporting Persons further
reserve the right to act in concert with any other shareholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose should they determine to do so, and/or to recommend courses of action to the Issuer's management, the Issuer's Board of
Directors, the Issuer's shareholders and others. In addition, the Reporting Persons are in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the members of the Issuer's Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding

Shares, both of which Zafirakis indirectly may be deemed to beneficially own, as the result of his ability to control the vote and disposition of the Shares through his control of Abra. The Reporting Persons are not the direct owners of any
