Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited (The "Company")

August 2021 Estimated Net Asset Value

Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited announces that as at 31 August 2021, its estimated unaudited net asset value ("NAV") was $371.1 million and its estimated unaudited NAV per ordinary share was $1.323.

The containership and bulker markets continued to strengthen in August with containership values rising strongly. Because of the rising benchmark time charter rates in containerships and bulkers, the portfolio negative charter value increased to minus $121.7 million during the month. Despite the recent increase, this figure will trend to zero (i.e. increase NAV) in the medium term ceteris paribus. The value of the Company's fleet if it were charter-free would be $470.6 million while its with-charter value reflected in the estimated NAV is $348.9 million.

The Investment Manager continues to identify an attractive pipeline of opportunities across a range of the Company's target sectors. Prospective investments include product tankers, handysize bulkers and one or more larger containerships with four to seven year charters already in place. The Company will announce a further update in due course.
