Item 6.          Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 26 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Amended Family Trading Credit Facility

The Issuer previously entered into an agreement with Family Trading pursuant to which Family Trading lent the Issuer up to $15.0 million under an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Family Trading Credit Facility") in order to fund the Issuer's newbuilding program and working capital relating to its operating vessels. The Family Trading Credit Facility was due to be repaid December 31, 2016 but the maturity was extended until February 28, 2017.

On February 21, 2017, the Issuer amended and restated the Family Trading Credit Facility (the "Amended Family Trading Credit Facility") in order to, among other things, remove any limitation in the use of funds drawn down under the facility, reduce the mandatory cash payment due under the facility when the Issuer raises capital through the issuance of certain securities, remove the revolving feature of the facility, and extend the facility for up to three years. Further, under the terms of the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility, if the Issuer raises capital via the issuance of warrants, debt or equity, it is obliged to repay any amounts due under the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility and any accrued interest and fees up to the time of the issuance in cash or in Common Shares at Family Trading's option. Family Trading retains the right to delay this mandatory repayment at its absolute discretion. For the first six months after the execution of the facility, no more than $3.5 million can be mandatorily prepaid in cash. Subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility, the number of common shares to be issued as repayment of the amounts outstanding under the facility will be calculated by dividing the amount redeemed by 80% of the lowest daily VWAP of the common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the payment date (the "Applicable Price"), provided, however, that at no time shall the Applicable Price be lower than $0.60 per common share (the "Floor Price").

Further, in the case where the Issuer raises capital (whether publicly or privately) and the Applicable Price is higher than the lowest of (henceforth the "Issuance Price"):

a.
the price per share issued upon an equity offering of the Issuer;

b.
the exercise price of warrants or options for Common Shares;

c.
the conversion price of any convertible security into Common Shares; or

d.
the implied exchange price of the Common Shares pursuant to an asset to equity or liability to equity swap,

then the Applicable Price will be reduced to the Issuance Price. Finally, in case the Applicable Price is higher than the exercise price of the Warrants, the Applicable Price will be reduced to the exercise price of such outstanding Warrants.



As of June 30, 2017, upon conversion at the Floor Price of $3.0 million currently outstanding under the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility, Family Trading would receive 4,930,000 Common Shares.

Series D Preferred Stock

On April 21, 2017, the Issuer was informed by one of its senior lenders, ABN Amro Bank N.V. ("ABN Amro"), that the Issuer was in breach of a loan covenant that requires that any member of the family of Mr. Evangelos Pistiolis, the Issuer's President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, maintain an ownership interest (either directly and/or indirectly through companies beneficially owned by any member of the Pistiolis family and/or trusts or foundations of which any member of the Pistiolis family are beneficiaries) of 30% of the outstanding Common Shares. ABN Amro requested that either the family of Mr. Evangelos Pistiolis maintain an ownership interest of at least 30% of the outstanding Common Shares or maintain a voting rights interest of above 50% in the Company. In order to regain compliance with the loan covenant, on April 27, 2017, the Issuer's board of directors authorized the Company to create a new class of non-convertible preferred stock with voting power of one thousand (1,000) Common Shares per preferred share and grant 100,000 of these preferred shares to the Pistiolis family.

On May 8, 2017, the Issuer issued 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Tankers Family. One share of Series D Preferred Stock has the voting power of 1,000 Common Shares. Shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are not convertible into Common Shares and have no dividend or other economic rights.
