Taylor Maritime Limited (the "Company" or "TML")
Fourth Compulsory Partial Redemption Update & Confirmation of Voting Rights
The Board of TML, the specialist dry bulk shipping company, is pleased to announce that, in connection with the Company's fourth compulsory partial redemption (the "Compulsory Redemption"), as announced on 23 October 2026, the Company has compulsorily redeemed as at the close of business on 26 October 2026 on a pro rata basis 55,425,545 ordinary shares at a price of US$0.8119 per share for a total consideration of US$45 million.
Fractions of shares produced by the applicable redemption ratio have not been redeemed and therefore the number of shares redeemed in respect of each shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
Following the Compulsory Redemption, the Company has 35,522,185 ordinary shares in issue and the total number of voting rights is 35,522,185. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The new ISIN, GG00C0G4QJ50, in respect of the remaining shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and is available for transactions from 8.00 a.m. on 27 October 2026. Payments of redemption monies are expected to be affected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated form) or by direct credit (in the case of shareholders who have registered a valid wire mandate) on or around 9 November 2026. Shareholders who have not yet registered their bank details and wish to receive their payment by direct credit should log on to www.investorcentre.co.uk/je. Once logged in, select 'Update My Details' and then 'Global Payments' to register their US Dollar banking instructions. Any certificates currently in circulation will be superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to certificated shareholders representing the balance of their shareholding in the Company.

Notes to Editors
About the Company
Taylor Maritime Limited is a shipping company listed under the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List, with its shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange since May 2021. Between May 2021 and February 2025, the Company was listed under the closed-ended investment funds category of the Official List.
The Company is pursuing a managed realisation of the Company's assets, prioritising the maximisation of proceeds from vessel sales and future returns of capital to shareholders, in tandem with an orderly winding down of the Company's operations. The timing of disposals and subsequent returns of capital will be influenced by market conditions and commercial factors.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, currently has a fleet of 2 dry bulk vessels[1] consisting of 1 Handysize vessels and 1 Supra/Ultramax vessel. The ships are all employed on time charter.

About Geared Vessels
Geared vessels are characterised by their own cargo loading 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.
