Notes to Editors
About the Company
Taylor Maritime Investments Limited is an internally managed investment company listed under the closed-ended investment funds category of the FCA's UK Listing Rules sourcebook (previously the Premium Segment of the Official List), with its shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange since May 2021. As announced previously, the Company is proposing to transfer the Company's equity shares listing from the closed-ended investment funds category to the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List. The Company specializes in the acquisition and chartering of vessels in the Handysize and Supra/Ultramax bulk carrier segments of the global shipping sector. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of vessels which are primarily second-hand and Japanese built.
The Company acquired a controlling stake in Grindrod Shipping Holdings Limited ("Grindrod") in December 2022 and, following a selective capital reduction which took effect on 16 August 2024, Grindrod became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was delisted from each of Nasdaq and the JSE. As a result, the Company, through its subsidiaries, currently has an owned fleet of 31 dry bulk vessels consisting of 21 Handysize vessels (including one vessel held for sale) and ten Supra/Ultramax vessels (including one vessel under a JV agreement and one long-term chartered in vessel with purchase option). The Company also has six vessels in its short-term chartered in fleet. The ships are employed utilising a variety of employment/charter strategies.
The Company's target dividend policy is 8 cents p.a. paid on a quarterly basis, with a targeted total NAV return of 10-12% per annum over the medium to long-term.

About Geared Vessels
Geared vessels are characterised by their own cargo loading and discharging equipment. The Handysize and Supra/Ultramax market segments are particularly attractive, given the flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these vessels which carry necessity goods - principally food and products related to infrastructure building - ensuring broad diversification of fleet activity and stability of earnings through the cycle.
