Our Company
We are an international shipping company that was incorporated in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands on March 20, 2013 for the purpose of acquiring and operating the latest
generation of newbuilding drybulk carriers with fuel-efficient specifications and carrying
capacities of greater than 30,000 dwt. Our vessels transport a broad range of major and minor
bulk commodities, including ores, coal, grains, and fertilizers, along worldwide shipping routes,
and are, or are expected to be, employed primarily in the spot market or in spot market-oriented
Scorpio Group Pools of similarly sized vessels. As of June 9, 2015, our operating fleet of 22
vessels consists of nine wholly-owned drybulk vessels (consisting of two Capesize vessels, three
Kamsarmax vessels and four Ultramax vessels) and 13 chartered-in drybulk vessels (consisting
of three Post-Panamax vessels, three Kamsarmax vessels, two Panamax vessels, one Ultramax
vessel, three Supramax vessels and one Handymax vessel), which we refer to collectively as our
“Operating Fleet.” All of the vessels in our Operating Fleet, other than one Capesize vessel
which is currently on time charter until November 23, 2015, are employed in a spot market-
oriented Scorpio Group Pool. We also have contracts for the construction of 57 newbuilding

drybulk vessels, consisting of 13 Capesize vessels (including four vessels held for sale), 19
Kamsarmax vessels (including one vessel held for sale) and 25 Ultramax vessels (including one
vessel held for sale), from shipyards in Japan, South Korea and China. We have also contracted
for six LR2 product tankers that are currently classified as held for sale, from shipyards in South
Korea and Romania. We collectively refer to all of our newbuilding vessels that are currently
under construction as our “Newbuilding Program.” Upon final delivery of all of the vessels in
our Newbuilding Program, our owned fleet is expected to have a total carrying capacity of
approximately 5.4 million dwt.
Recent Developments
On April 21, 2015, we announced that we entered into agreements to sell three Capesize
newbuilding drybulk vessels, one Kamsarmax newbuilding drybulk vessel and three LR1
newbuilding product tankers to unrelated third-parties for approximately $290 million in
aggregate. The Capesize vessels are currently being constructed in Romania, and have expected
delivery dates between the fourth quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. The
Kamsarmax vessel is currently being constructed in China and has an expected delivery date in
the first quarter of 2016. The LR1 product tankers are currently being constructed in South
Korea, two of which are scheduled for delivery during the second quarter of 2017 and one
during the third quarter of 2017.
On April 27, 2015, we announced that we entered into agreements to sell two Capesize
newbuilding drybulk vessels and one Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessel to unrelated third-
parties for approximately $111 million in aggregate. The Capesize vessels are currently being
constructed in China and South Korea, and have expected delivery dates between the third
quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. The Ultramax vessel is currently being
constructed in China and has an expected delivery date in the first quarter of 2016.
On June 4, 2015, we announced that we entered into agreements to sell three Capesize
newbuilding drybulk vessels and two LR2 product tankers under construction to unrelated third-
parties for approximately $237 million in aggregate. The Capesize vessels are currently being
constructed in China, and have expected delivery dates between the first quarter of 2016 and the
second quarter of 2016. The LR2 product tankers are currently being constructed in Romania, and
have expected delivery dates between the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.
The three LR1 newbuilding product tankers and the Kamsarmax newbuilding vessel were
classified as held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2015, for which we recorded
a write down on assets held for sale of $30.7 million, reflective of these sales. The loss on
disposal of the eight Capesize newbuilding vessels, one Ultramax newbuilding vessel, and two
LR2 product tankers is expected to be approximately $116 million, in aggregate, which includes
an incremental loss on the two LR2 product tankers which had been classified as assets held for
sale as of March 31, 2015, and are expected to be recorded during the second quarter of 2015.

Inclusive of the sales of construction contracts described above and other construction
contracts previously classified as assets held for sale, we have agreed to sell 20 newbuilding
construction contracts, consisting of eight Capesize newbuilding contracts, two Kamsarmax
newbuilding contracts, one Ultramax newbuilding contract, six LR2 product tanker newbuilding
contracts and three LR1 product tanker newbuilding contracts. These sales are expected to
result in $140.3 million cash received by us and a $690.8 million reduction of our capital
expenditure obligations.
Of these announced sales of newbuilding contracts and newbuilding contracts classified as
assets held for sale as of March 31, 2015, four Capesize newbuilding vessels, one Kamsarmax
newbuilding vessel, and three LR1 newbuilding product tankers have been sold and we are no
longer under any obligation for remaining contractual installments under those contracts.
Vessel Delivery
On May 11, 2015, we took delivery of the SBI Camacho, a Capesize vessel. This vessel was
subsequently deployed in the Scorpio Capesize Pool. Upon delivery of the vessel, we drew
down $28.6 million under one of our secured credit facilities.
Reduction of Commitment on $409.0 Million Credit Facility
Effective May 13, 2015, the commitment under our $409.0 Million Credit Facility was
reduced by $73.0 million due to the sale of three Capesize vessels that were serving as partial
security under the facility, and the addition of one Ultramax vessel to the security package
under the facility. As a result of this reduction, we also wrote off $2.1 million of deferred
financing costs accumulated on this facility which represents the portion of the facility that can
no longer be utilized.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our contractual obligations under vessels to
be sold are as follows*:
$ in millions
As of May 31, 2015, we have either signed credit facility agreements or received
commitments for 56 of the vessels in our Newbuilding Program, excluding the vessels which we
intend to sell. This includes three vessels (of which one vessel is a refinancing) to be financed
by a credit facility that is pending approval from the Chinese Ministry of Finance on the
insurance coverage to be provided by Sinosure and which we expect to be granted during
August 2015. In addition, we are in discussions with a few leading European financial
institutions to finance a portion of the cost of our remaining four unfinanced dry bulk
newbuilding vessels. The terms and conditions of these facilities, for which commitments are
expected during the third quarter of 2015, are expected to be consistent with those of our
existing credit commitments. The closing of any resultant credit facilities would remain subject
to credit approval and customary conditions precedent, including negotiation and execution of
definitive documentation.

prospectus in our Registration Statement on Form F-3, filed
with the Commission on January 2, 2015, in our Annual
Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2014, filed with the Commission on April 2, 2015, and
under the caption “Risk Factors” or any similar caption in

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an
investment in our common shares, you should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the
other information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus
and the documents incorporated into each by reference, including those in “Item 3. Key
Information—D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2014, filed with the Commission on April 2, 2015, as updated by annual, quarterly
and other reports and documents we file with the Commission after the date of this prospectus
supplement and that are incorporated by reference herein. Please see the section of this
prospectus supplement entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information—Information
Incorporated by Reference.” The occurrence of one or more of those risk factors could adversely
impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise funds sufficient to meet our future capital
and operating needs.
Following completion of this offering, we cannot assure you that our available liquidity will
be sufficient to meet our ongoing capital and operating needs. As of June 9, 2015, we had
obtained commitments for a maximum of $1,087.3 million of secured debt for 56 newbuilding
vessels, and we were in negotiations for additional maximum commitments of $53.0 million of
secured debt for four remaining newbuilding vessels.
Most of the credit facilities we intend to use to finance payments under the contracts for our
newbuilding vessels contain loan to value (LTV) ratios. These LTV ratios may effectively limit
the amount we can borrow under each such credit facility based on a percentage of the
appraised value of the vessels upon their delivery securing the facility. As a result, the
maximum amount committed under such facilities may not be available for us to borrow at the
time a vessel is delivered, particularly if the appraised value of the vessels securing the facility
has decreased at such time due to market conditions or other factors. If the available amount
under our credit facilities is not sufficient to make the required payments under our newbuilding
contracts, we will be required to use our available liquidity to cover any shortfall, and there can
be no assurance that such liquidity will be available at such time on reasonable terms or at all.
Investors may experience significant dilution as a result of this offering and future offerings.
Additionally, sales of our common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur,
could harm the prevailing market price of our common shares. These sales, or the possibility
that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the
future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
Based on the offer and sale of 133,000,000 common shares in this offering, on an as-
adjusted basis, as of March 31, 2015, we would have had 313,470,939 common shares
outstanding, which would represent an increase of approximately 74% in our issued and
outstanding common shares. Our existing shareholders will experience significant dilution if we
sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.
The market price of our common shares could drop significantly if the holders of our shares
sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also

make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our common
shares or other securities. In the future, we may also issue our securities in connection with
investments or acquisitions. The amount of our common shares issued in connection with an
investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding common
shares. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may
result in additional dilution to you. In addition, we may offer additional common shares in the
future, whether or not in connection with investments or acquisitions, which may result in
additional significant dilution.
In connection with this offering we have agreed that we will not, without the prior written
consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., during the period from the date of this prospectus
supplement through the date that is 30 days subsequent to the date thereof, offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of our common shares or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for our common shares or derivative of our common shares.
Each of our officers and directors and Scorpio Services Holdings Limited have agreed not to
offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction that is designed
to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition of any common shares or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares or derivatives of our
common shares owned by these persons prior to this offering or common shares issuable upon
exercise of options or warrants held by these persons for a period of 180 days after the date of
this prospectus supplement, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
other than as required to satisfy the payment of certain tax obligations.
For additional information, see the section of this prospectus supplement entitled
“Dilution.”
The market price of our common shares has fluctuated widely and may fluctuate widely in the
future, or there may be no continuing public market for you to resell our common shares.
The market price of our common shares has fluctuated widely since our common shares
began trading on the NYSE in December 2013, and may continue to do so as a result of many
factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of
other public companies in our industry, mergers and strategic alliances in the shipping industry,
market conditions in the shipping industry, particularly the drybulk sector, changes in
government regulation, shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities
analysts, announcements concerning us or our competitors and the general state of the
securities market. Further, there may be no continuing active or liquid public market for our
common shares.
If the market price of our common shares remains below $5.00 per share, under NYSE rules,
our shareholders will not be able to use such shares as collateral for borrowing in margin
accounts. This inability to continue to use our common shares as collateral may lead to sales of
such shares creating downward pressure on and increased volatility in the market price of our
common shares.
The shipping industry has been highly unpredictable and volatile. The market for common
shares in this industry may be equally volatile. Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be
able to sell any of our common shares you may have purchased at a price greater than or equal
to its original purchase price, or that you will be able to sell them at all.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $189.7 million from this
offering assuming the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is not exercised, and
approximately $218.1 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is
exercised in full, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering
expenses payable by us.
We intend to use all or substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering of our common
shares to fund installment payments due under our Newbuilding Program, and the remaining
amount, if any, for general corporate purposes and working capital.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our capitalization as of March 31, 2015, on:

costs, pursuant to the closing on the sale of eight vessels during the period from April 1,
2015 to June 9, 2015; and
• an as further adjusted basis to give effect to the issuance of 133,000,000 common shares
in this offering at $1.50 per share.
There have been no other significant adjustments to our capitalization since March 31, 2015,
as so adjusted except as noted in footnote (2), below.
You should read the information below together with the section of this prospectus
supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds,” as well as the consolidated financial statements and
related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our Annual Report on
Form 20-F, filed with the Commission on April 2, 2015 and our press release attached as an
exhibit to our Form 6-K, furnished to the Commission on April 29, 2015, each of which is
incorporated by reference herein.

DILUTION
Dilution or accretion is the amount by which the offering price paid by the purchasers of our
common shares in this offering will differ from the net tangible book value per common share
after the offering. The net tangible book value is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets
(total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities. The historical net tangible book value
and the as adjusted(1) net tangible book value as of March 31, 2015 were $1,154 million in total
and $6.40 per share for the number of shares of the existing shareholders at that date.
The as further adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2015 would have been
$1,344 million, or $4.29 per common share after the issuance and sale by us of 133,000,000
common shares at $1.50 per share in this offering, after deducting estimated expenses related
to this offering. This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $2.11 per
share to the existing shareholders and an immediate accretion in net tangible book value of
$2.79 per share to new investors.
The following table illustrates the pro forma per share dilution and decrease in net tangible
book value as of March 31, 2015:
The following table summarizes, as of March 31, 2015, on an as adjusted basis for this
public offering, the difference between the number of common shares acquired from us, the
total amount paid and the average price per share paid by the existing shareholders and the
number of common shares acquired from us, the total amount paid and average price per share
paid by you as a new investor in this offering, based upon the public offering price of $1.50 per
share.

Our common shares have traded on the NYSE since December 12, 2013 under the symbol
“SALT.” In addition, during the period from July 3, 2013 through July 31, 2014, our common
shares minimally traded on the Norwegian OTC under the symbol “SALT.” The following table
sets forth the high and low prices for our common shares for the periods indicated, as reported
by the NYSE.
Dividend Policy
We currently do not intend to pay dividends to the holders of our common shares but rather
to invest our available cash in the growth of our fleet and development of our business. We will
continue to assess our dividend policy and our board of directors may determine it is in the best
interest of the Company to pay dividends in the future. The declaration and payment of
dividends is subject at all times to the discretion of our board of directors. The timing and
amount of dividends, if any, depends on our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements
and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in the loan agreements, the provisions
of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends and other factors.

In addition, we estimate that our share of the total expenses of this offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $500,000. We have also agreed
to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses, as set forth in the underwriting
agreement, including legal fees incurred in the qualification of the offering with FINRA, in an
amount of up to $20,000, which amount is deemed by FINRA to be underwriting compensation.
Other than as required to satisfy the payment of certain tax obligations, each of our officers
and directors and Scorpio Services Holdings Limited have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to
sell or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or could be
expected to, result in the disposition of any common shares or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares or derivatives of our common shares owned
by these persons prior to this offering or common shares issuable upon exercise of options or
warrants held by these persons for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus
supplement without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. This consent may
be given at any time without public notice except in limited circumstances. We have entered
into a similar agreement with the representative of the underwriters for a period of 30 days.
There are no agreements between the representative and any of our shareholders or affiliates
releasing them from these lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up periods
described above.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell common shares in
the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases to cover positions
created by short sales and stabilizing transactions.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are
required to purchase in the offering. Covered short sales are sales made in an amount not
greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common shares from us in the
offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their
option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining
the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider,
among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared
to the price at which they may purchase shares through their option to purchase additional
shares.
Naked short sales are any sales in excess of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional
shares. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the
open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if underwriters are concerned
that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market prior to the
completion of the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of our common shares
made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter
repays to the other underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because
the representative of the underwriters has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that
underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of
preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our common shares. Additionally, these
purchases, along with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of our common shares. As a result, the price of our common shares may

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have performed commercial
banking services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and
reimbursement of expenses. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may, from time to
time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their
business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In
particular, affiliates of each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and ABN AMRO Securities (USA)
LLC are lenders under certain of our credit facilities.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters
may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
Clarksons Platou Securities AS is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer and, therefore, intends
to participate in the offering outside of the United States and, to the extent that the offering by
Clarksons Platou Securities AS is within the United States, Clarksons Platou Securities AS will
offer to and place shares of common stock with investors through Clarksons Platou Securities,
Inc., an affiliated U.S. broker-dealer. The activities of Clarksons Platou Securities AS in the

As of March 31, 2015, the Company owns three Kamsarmax vessels, four Ultramax vessels
and one Capesize vessel and has ordered 61 newbuilding drybulk carriers, which it intends to
operate. The Company also has two Kamsarmax vessel contract, three Capesize vessel contract,
six contracts for the construction of LR2 product tankers and three contracts for the construction
of LR1 product tankers which are classified on the balance sheet as assets held for sale.
Our vessels are technically managed by Scorpio Ship Management S.A.M. (“SSM”), which
is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. SSM facilitates vessel support such as crew,
provisions, deck and engine stores, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and other services as
necessary to operate the vessels such as drydocks and vetting/inspection under a technical
management agreement.
We also have an administrative services agreement with Scorpio Services Holding Ltd.
(“SSH”), which is majority owned by the Lolli-Ghetti family. The administrative services
provided under this agreement primarily include accounting, legal compliance, financial,
information technology services, and the provision of administrative staff and office space,
which are contracted to SCM. We pay our managers fees for these services and reimburse them
for direct or indirect expenses that they incur in providing these services.
Basis of accounting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflects
all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company’s interim results as of the dates and for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Going concern
The Company’s revenue is derived from time charter revenue, voyage revenue and pool
revenue. The bulker shipping industry is volatile and has been experiencing a sustained cyclical
downturn. If the downturn continues, this could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMEN NYC CLN PS PMT 1C
The fair market values of the Company’s vessels also experience high volatility. The fair
market value of the vessels may increase and decrease depending on a number of factors
including, but not limited to, the prevailing level of charter rates and day rates, general
economic and market conditions affecting the international shipping industry, types, sizes and
ages of vessels, supply and demand for vessels, availability of or developments in other modes
of transportation, competition from other shipping companies, cost of newbuildings,
governmental or other regulations and technological advances. In addition, as vessels grow
older, they generally decline in value. If the fair market value of vessels declines, the Company
may not be in compliance with certain provisions of its credit facilities and it may not be able to
refinance its debt and obtain additional financing. The prepayment of certain credit facilities
may be necessary to cause the Company to maintain compliance with certain covenants in the
event that the value of its vessels falls below a certain level. Additionally, if the Company sells
one or more of its vessels at a time when vessel prices have fallen, the sale price may be less
than the vessel’s carrying value on its consolidated financial statements, resulting in a loss on
sale or an impairment loss being recognized, ultimately leading to a reduction in earnings.
Furthermore, if vessel values fall significantly, this could indicate a decrease in the recoverable
amount for the vessel which may result in an impairment adjustment in the carrying value of
the vessel.
As described in Note 8, the Company has commitments to pay for its vessels currently
under construction that exceed the amount of financing presently secured for these. If the
Company is not able to borrow additional funds, raise other capital or utilize available cash on
hand, it may not be able to acquire these newbuilding vessels, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, nor to the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.

Accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
In addition to the estimates noted above, significant estimates will include vessel
valuations, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative
instruments.
Segment reporting
The Company has three reportable segments, Ultramax vessels, Kamsarmax vessels and
Capesize vessels, which are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide
through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. See Note 16.
Revenue recognition
Vessel revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and
represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of
discounts, and other sales-related or value added taxes.
Vessel revenue is comprised of either time charter revenue, voyage revenue and/or pool
revenue.
(1) Time charter revenue is recognized ratably as services are performed based on the daily
rates specified in the time charter contract. We do not recognize revenue when a vessel is
off hire.
(2) Voyage charter agreements are charter hires, where a contract is made in the spot market
for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage for a specified charter rate. Revenue from
voyage charter agreements is recognized on a pro rata basis based on the relative transit
time in each period. The period over which voyage revenues are recognized commences at
the time the vessel departs from its last discharge port and ends at the time the discharge
of cargo at the next discharge port is completed. We do not begin recognizing revenue until
a charter has been agreed to by the customer and us, even if the vessel has discharged its
cargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next voyage. Estimated losses on
voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. In the application
of this policy, we do not begin recognizing revenue until (i) the amount of revenue can be
measured reliably, (ii) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the
transaction will flow to the entity, (iii) the transactions’ stage of completion at the balance
sheet date can be measured reliably and (iv) the costs incurred and the costs to complete
the transaction can be measured reliably.

(3) Pool revenue for each vessel is determined in accordance with the profit sharing terms specified
within each pool agreement. In particular, the pool manager aggregates the revenues and
expenses of all of the pool participants and distributes the net earnings to participants based on:
• the pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and
construction characteristics are taken into consideration); and
• the number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period.
We recognize pool revenue on a monthly basis, when the vessel has participated in a pool
during the period and the amount of pool revenue for the month can be estimated reliably. We
receive estimated vessel earnings based on the known number of days the vessel has participated in
the pool, the contract terms, and the estimated monthly pool revenue. On a quarterly basis, we
receive a report from the pool which identifies the number of days the vessel participated in the
pool, the total pool points for the period, the total pool revenue for the period, and the calculated
share of pool revenue for the vessel. We review the quarterly report for consistency with each
vessel’s pool agreement and vessel management records. The estimated pool revenue is reconciled
quarterly, coinciding with our external reporting periods, to the actual pool revenue earned, per the
pool report. Consequently, in our financial statements, reported revenues represent actual pooled
revenues. While differences do arise in the performance of these quarterly reconciliations, such
differences are not material to total reported revenues.
Voyage expenses
Voyage expenses, which primarily include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling
operations and brokerage commissions paid by us under voyage charters are expensed as incurred.
Charterhire expense
Charterhire expense is the amount we pay the owner for time chartered-in vessels. The
amount is usually for a fixed period of time at charter rates that are generally fixed, but may
contain a variable component based on drybulk indices, inflation, interest rates, profit sharing,
or current market rates. The vessel’s owner is responsible for crewing and other vessel
operating costs. Charterhire expense is recognized ratably over the charterhire period.
Operating leases
Costs in respect of operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of operations
on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Additionally, these costs include technical management fees that we pay to SSM (See Note 15).
Pursuant to an agreement, or the Master Agreement, SSM provides us with technical services, and
we provide them with the ability to subcontract technical management of our vessels with our
approval.
Foreign currencies
The individual financial statements of Scorpio Bulkers Inc. and each of its subsidiaries are
presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate (its
functional currency), which in all cases is U.S. dollars. For the purpose of the consolidated
financial statements, our results and financial position are also expressed in U.S. dollars.
In preparing the financial statements of Scorpio Bulkers Inc. and each of its subsidiaries,
transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing
on the dates of the transactions. Any change in exchange rate between the date of recognition and
the date of settlement may result in a gain or loss which is recognized in the consolidated statement
of operations. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
other currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at rates ruling at that date. All resultant
exchange differences have been recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Inventories
Inventories, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, consist of
lubricating oils and other items including stock provisions, and are stated at the lower of cost
and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. Stores and spares
are charged to vessel operating costs when purchased.

Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of the
asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell,
and, if the asset is a vessel, the Company ceases depreciation.
Vessels, net
Vessels, net is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel
costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures
made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for
a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition cost of a
vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives,
determined to be 25 years from the date the vessel is ready for its first voyage. Depreciation is
based on cost less the estimated residual value which is the lightweight tonnage of each vessel
multiplied by scrap value per ton. The scrap value per ton is estimated taking into consideration
the historical four years average scrap market rates at the balance sheet date with changes
accounted for in the period of change and in future periods. The Company believes that a 25-
year depreciable life for its vessels is consistent with that of other ship owners and with its
economic useful life. An increase in the useful life of the vessel or in its residual value would
have the effect of decreasing the annual depreciation charge and extending it into later periods.
A decrease in the useful life of the vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of
increasing the annual depreciation charge. However, when regulations place limitations over
the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, or when the cost of complying with such
regulations is not expected to be recovered, we will adjust the vessel’s useful life to end at the
date such regulations preclude such vessel’s further commercial use. The carrying value of the
Company’s vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessels or the amount it
could obtain if it were to sell any of its vessels, which could be more or less. Under U.S. GAAP,
the Company would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is
below our carrying value unless and until it determines to sell that vessel or the vessel is
impaired as discussed below under “Impairment of long-lived assets.”

We only include in deferred drydocking those direct costs that are incurred as part of the
drydocking to meet regulatory requirements, or are expenditures that add economic life to the
vessel, increase the vessel’s earnings capacity or improve the vessel’s efficiency. Direct costs
include shipyard costs as well as the costs of placing the vessel in the shipyard; cost of travel,
lodging and subsistence of personnel sent to the drydocking site to supervise; and the cost of
hiring a third party to oversee the drydocking. Expenditures for normal maintenance and
repairs, whether incurred as part of the drydocking or not, are expensed as incurred.
Other assets
Other assets consists primarily of deferred financing costs relating to the portions of loan
facilities that have not yet been drawn down. As the loan facilities are drawn down, the related
portion of costs incurred relating to such facilities will be reclassified to Deferred financing costs
and amortized over the life of the related debt.
Due to continuing poor industry conditions, impairment tests on a vessel by vessel basis
were performed as at March 31, 2015. The most significant assumptions made for the
determination of expected cash flows are (i) charter rates on expiry of existing charters, which
are based on the current fixing applicable to five years-year time charter rates and thereafter, a
reversion to the ten years-year historical average for each category of vessel, (ii) off-hire days,
which are based on actual off-hire statistics for the Company’s fleet, (iii) operating costs, based
on current levels escalated over time based on long term trends, (iv) dry docking frequency,
duration and cost, (v) estimated useful life which is assessed as a total of 25 years and
(vi) estimated scrap values. In the case of an indication of impairment, the results of a
recoverability test would also be sensitive to the discount rate applied.
The assumptions used involve a considerable degree of estimation. Actual conditions may
differ significantly from the assumptions and thus actual cash flows may be significantly
different to those expected with a material effect on the recoverability of each vessel’s carrying
amount.

No impairment charges were recorded on the Company’s long-lived assets held for use as
at March 31, 2015 based on the assumptions made, the expected undiscounted future cash
flows exceeding the vessels’ carrying amounts.
The fair value of any interest rate swaps is the estimated amount we would receive or have
to pay in order to terminate these agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current
interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and our creditworthiness
for liabilities.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when we have a present obligation as a result of a past event,
and it is probable that we will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at
our best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date,
and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Restricted stock
We follow Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 718-10, Compensation-
Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), for restricted stock issued under our equity incentive
plans. Stock-based compensation costs from restricted stock are classified as a component of
additional paid-in capital. The restricted stock awards granted to our employees and directors

contain only service conditions and are classified as equity settled. Accordingly, the fair value of
our restricted stock awards is calculated by multiplying the share price on the grant date and the
number of restricted stock shares granted that are expected to vest. We believe that the share
price at the grant date serves as a proxy for the fair value of services to be provided by the
employees and directors under the plan.
Compensation expense related to the awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period,
based on our estimate of the number of awards that will eventually vest. The vesting period is
the period during which an employee or director is required to provide service in exchange for
an award and is updated at each balance sheet date to reflect any revisions in estimates of the
number of awards expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market-based vesting
conditions.
Income tax
Scorpio Bulkers Inc. and its subsidiaries are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall
Islands, and in accordance with the income tax laws of the Marshall Islands, are not subject to
Marshall Islands’ income tax. We are also exempt from income tax in other jurisdictions
including the United States of America due to tax treaties; therefore, we will not have any tax
charges, benefits, or balances.
At March 31, 2015, the Company maintains all of its cash and cash equivalents with five
financial institutions. None of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances is covered by
insurance in the event of default by these financial institutions.

As of March 31, 2015 the Company classified the three LR1 newbuilding product tankers
and one Kamsarmax newbuilding vessel as held for sale, for which a write down on assets held
for sale of $30,714 was recorded, reflective of these sales.
The Company has classified these contracts for 11 vessels as assets held for sale as of
March 31, 2015. Assets held for sale was $99,765 and $43,781 as of March 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, respectively, and represents the proceeds expected to be realized from the
sale of these contracts. The Company recorded a write down on assets held for sale aggregating
$31,752 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 which includes (i) the amount by which
balances in vessels under construction for these contracts exceeded the selling prices of the
contracts net of remaining installments yet to be made under the contracts, including
modifications to contract prices of the three LR1 product tanker contracts, and (ii) costs expected
to be incurred to suppliers relating to the cancellation of orders for the purchase of components
that would have been used in the construction of the Capesize vessels prior to their
modification.
In December 2014, the Company (i) reached agreements with shipyards in South Korea and
Romania to modify six newbuilding contracts for Capesize bulk carriers into newbuilding
contracts for LR2 product tankers, (ii) reached an agreement to sell four of these LR2
newbuilding contracts to Scorpio Tankers Inc., a related party, and (iii) granted options to
Scorpio Tankers Inc. to purchase the two remaining LR2 newbuilding contracts.
The sale price for each of the four LR2 newbuilding contracts is $51,000. The two option
contracts, which expire on May 31, 2015, may be exercised by Scorpio Tankers Inc. for a fixed
purchase price of $52,500 for each contract.
Also in December 31, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell one Kamsarmax
newbuilding drybulk vessel for approximately $30,650. The vessel is currently being constructed
at Tsuneishi Group (Zhoushan) Shipbuilding Inc., and has an expected delivery date in the third
quarter of 2015.

The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our
existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt and are effectively subordinated
to our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such
debt, and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of
our subsidiaries. No sinking fund is provided for the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were
issued in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof
and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SLTB.“ The Senior Notes
require us to comply with certain covenants, including financial covenants; restrictions on
consolidations, mergers or sales of assets and prohibitions on paying dividends or returning
capital to equity holders if a covenant breach or an event of default has occurred or would occur
as a result of such payment. If the Company undergoes a change of control, holders may
require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a change of control
repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the change of control purchase date.
The outstanding balance at March 31, 2015 was $73,625, which is classified as long-term,
and we were in compliance with the financial covenants relating to the Senior Notes as of that
date.
On June 27, 2014, the Company signed a $39,600 loan agreement (the “$39.6 Million
Facility”) which will be used to finance a portion of the market value of two Kamsarmax vessels
which have been delivered to the Company as of December 31, 2014. The Company was
permitted to draw down in two tranches of $19,800, one for each vessel, against which the
Company drew down an aggregate of $33,550 in November 2014. The remaining $6,050 is no
longer available to be drawn down upon. This facility, which is secured by those two
Kamsarmax vessels with an aggregate carrying value of $66,015 as of March 31, 2015, bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.925% per annum, bore a commitment fee of 1.17% per
annum through November 2014 on the undrawn portion of the facility, and matures on June 27,
2019. Quarterly principal repayments for each tranche are $413 for the first eight installments
and $283 thereafter with the balance due at maturity. Principal installments under the $39.6
Million Facility in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are $2,475, $3,300, $2,260, $2,260 and
$22,430, respectively.
On July 29, 2014, the Company signed a $330,000 (the “$330 Million Facility) loan
agreement which will be used to finance a portion of the contract price of 16 Ultramax and six
Kamsarmax vessels currently under construction for delivery in 2015 and 2016. This facility,
which is secured by those vessels, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.925% per annum,
bears a commitment fee of 1.17% per annum on the undrawn portion of the facility, and
matures on July 29, 2021.

The Company may draw down in 22 tranches of up to $15,000, one for each vessel. For each
tranche, repayment is to be made in quarterly installments with the balance due on the maturity
date. For each tranche, repayment is to be made in quarterly installments of $313, with the
balance due on the maturity date. Principal payments under the $330 Million Facility in 2015,
2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and thereafter are $2,813, $3,750, $3,750, $3,750, $3,750 and $27,187
respectively.
On July 30, 2014, the Company signed a loan agreement for up to $67,500 (the “$67.5
Million Facility”) which will be used to finance a portion of the contract price of two Ultramax
and two Kamsarmax vessels currently under construction for delivery in 2015 and 2016. This
facility, which is secured by those vessels, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.95% per
annum, bears a commitment fee of 1.25% per annum on the undrawn portion of the facility, and
each tranche matures on earlier of seven years from its drawdown or December 31, 2023.
Under the $67.5 Million Facility, the Company may draw down tranches of up to $16,350 for
each of the two Ultramax vessels and up to $17,400 for each of the two Kamsarmax vessels. For
each tranche, repayment is to be made in quarterly installments with the balance due on the
maturity date. For the Ultramax tranches, installments are made in 28 quarterly payments of
$292 with a balloon installment of $8,174 due with the 28th installment. For the Kamsarmax
tranches, installments are made in 28 quarterly payments of $311 with a balloon installment of
$8,692 due with the 28th installment.
On December 30, 2014, the Company signed a $408,976 senior secured loan facility with
two leading European financial institutions (the “$409.0 Million Facility”). The proceeds of this
facility are expected to finance a portion of the purchase price of 20 of the vessels in our
Newbuilding Program (six Ultramax, nine Kamsarmax, and five Capesize vessels) with expected
deliveries in 2015 and 2016. This facility has a six year term with customary financial and
restrictive covenants, and interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% and has a term of six years.
This facility is secured by, among other things, a first preferred mortgage on each of the 20
newbuilding vessels and guaranteed by each of the collateral vessel owning subsidiaries.
Principal payments under the $409.0 Million Facility in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and
thereafter are $749, $999, $999, $999, $999 and $10,243, respectively.
On January 15, 2015, the Company signed a loan agreement for up to $411,264 (the
“$411.264 Million Facility”), which was subsequently reduced on March 26, 2015 by $171,000 to
$240,264 (the “$240.264 Million Facility”) due to the removal from financing under this facility of
five Capesize newbuilding vessels that we have agreed to convert into product tankers. The
proceeds will be used to finance a portion of the contract price of seven Capesize vessels
currently under construction. This facility is secured by, among other things, a first preferred
mortgage on the seven Capesize newbuilding vessels and guaranteed by each of the collateral
vessel owning subsidiaries. Portions of this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable
margin of between 1.90% and 2.95% and a portion has a fixed coupon of 6.25%. This facility
matures six years from the delivery of the final vessel securing the facility, and in certain
circumstances, the facility matures 12 years after the delivery of each financed vessel. In the
statement of operations as of March 31, 2015, we incurred a write off of $3,530 of a portion of
deferred financing costs accumulated on this credit facility for which the commitment was
reduced pursuant to the removal from the facility of certain vessels that have been classified as
held for sale.

On January 30, 2015, the Company signed a loan agreement for up to $42,000 (the “$42
Million Facility”) which will be used to finance a portion of the contract price of two Kamsarmax
vessels of which one Kamsarmax vessel was delivered in January 2015 and one Kamsarmax
vessel is currently under construction. The facility may be drawn in two tranches of up to
$21,000, with quarterly payments of $355 per tranche and a balloon payment of $12,132 payable
at the maturity date. Each tranche has a maturity of six years from the date of the respective
vessel delivery from the yard. This facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.80%. This
facility is secured by, among other things, a first preferred mortgage on the two Kamsarmax
newbuilding vessels and guaranteed by each of the collateral vessel owning subsidiaries.
Principal payments under the $42 Million Facility in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and thereafter
are $1,034, $,1,378, $1,378, $1,378, $1,378 and $13,762, respectively.
On February 27, 2015, the Company signed a loan agreement for up to $26,000 (the “$26
Million Facility”) with ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the Netherlands. The proceeds of this facility are
expected to be used to finance a portion of the purchase price of one Capesize vessel, which
was delivered to us during the first quarter of 2015. This facility matures at the earlier of (a) the
date falling six months after the drawdown date; and (b) the date ten business days after the
date on which the Chinese Ministry of Finance has approved insurance coverage to be provided
by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, or Sinosure, with respect to our $230,325
Credit Facility (see Note 17) and drawings can be made under such facility. This facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus an initial margin of 2.00% with monthly step ups of 0.25% until a margin
of 3.25% is reached. This facility is secured by, among other things, a first preferred mortgage
on the Capesize newbuilding vessel and a parent company guarantee.
On March 2, 2015, the Company signed a loan agreement for up to $19,800 (the “$19.8
Million Facility”). The facility was previously announced as a $39,600 credit facility, that has now
been reduced to a size of $19,800 due to the removal of the financing on one Kamsarmax vessel
which we have classified as held for sale. The facility was arranged by ABN AMRO Bank N.V.,
the Netherlands, with insurance cover provided from Sinosure. The proceeds of this facility are
expected to be used to finance a portion of the purchase price of one Kamsarmax vessel
currently under construction at Tsuneishi with expected delivery during the first quarter of 2016.
The facility matures ten years from the date of delivery of the vessel and bears interest at LIBOR
plus a margin of 2.50%. This facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority mortgage
on one Kamsarmax newbuilding vessel and a parent company guarantee.
Each of these eight credit agreements has the following financial covenants that require us
to maintain (based on terms defined in the credit agreements:
• The ratio of net debt to total capitalization no greater than 0.60 to 1.00.
• Consolidated tangible net worth no less than $500,000 plus (i) 25% of cumulative
positive net income (on a consolidated basis) for each fiscal quarter commencing on or
after December 31, 2013 and (ii) 50% of the value of any new equity issues occurring on
or after December 31, 2013.
• The ratio of EBITDA to net interest expense calculated on a trailing four quarter basis of
greater than 1.00 to 1.00 from the quarter ending September 30, 2015 until and including
the quarter ending December 31, 2016, 2.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31,

• Minimum liquidity of not less than the greater of $50,000 or $850 per owned vessel.
• Maintain a minimum fair value of the collateral for each credit facility, such that the
aggregate fair value of the vessels collateralizing the credit facility be at least between
130% to 140%, depending on the credit facility, of the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under such credit facility.
Our credit facilities discussed above have, among other things, the following restrictive
covenants which would restrict our ability to:
• incur additional indebtedness;
• sell the collateral vessel, if applicable;
• make additional investments or acquisitions;
• pay dividends, in the event of a default, or if an event of default would occur as a result
of the payment of dividends; and
• effect a change of control of us.
In addition, our credit facilities contain customary events of default, including cross-default
provisions.
As of March 31, 2015, we are in compliance with the financial covenants of each of our four
credit facilities.

ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures, applies to all assets and
liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the
reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by
establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to
determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and
liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or
liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires
significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1-Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that
the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily
and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a
significant degree of judgment.
Level 2-Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar,
or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and
model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are
observable in active markets.
Level 3-Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair
value measurement.
Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with
short-term maturities. The fair value of bank loans is estimated based on current rates offered to
the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying value
approximates the fair market value for the variable rate loans.
The Senior Notes are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and are considered a
Level 1 item. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at March 31,
2015 and December 31, 2014 (principally balances with related parties, Prepaid expenses and

other current assets and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values
because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of amounts
Due from related parties classified as noncurrent assets represents working capital balances due
from the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and Scorpio Ultramax Pool (see Note 15) which are known
amounts of cash withheld by from pool distributions which approximate fair value.
The fair value of Assets held for sale (see Note 7) was determined based on the selling
price, net of estimated costs to sell, of such assets based on contracts negotiated in March 2015
and December 2014, are considered to be Level 3 items. The following table summarizes the
valuation of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis:
We entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with SSH, a party related to us, for
the provision of administrative staff, office space and accounting, legal compliance, financial
and information technology services. SSH also arranges vessel sales and purchases for us. The
services provided to us by SSH may be sub-contracted to other entities within the Scorpio
Group. We have begun incurring costs to SSH which will increase as the vessels in our

Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, we reimburse SSH for the reasonable
direct or indirect expenses it incurs in providing us with the administrative services described
above and a pro-rata portion of the salary incurred by SSH for an internal auditor. We also pay
SSH a fee for arranging vessel acquisitions, including newbuildings, payable in shares of our
common stock. The number of shares to be issued was 31,250 shares for each of the first 17
vessels ordered under our Newbuilding Program. For the remaining newbuildings ordered, the
number of shares for each vessel ordered was determined by dividing $250,000 by the market
value of our common shares based on the volume weighted average price of our common
shares over the 30 trading day period immediately preceding the contract date of a definitive
agreement to acquire any vessel. For the 61 vessels in our Newbuilding Program, an aggregate
of 2,168,741 shares will be issued to SSH, ranging from 25,497 shares to 31,250 shares for each
vessel. These shares will be issued to SSH upon the delivery of each vessel(or, in the case of a
vessel disposal prior to delivery at the time such disposal completes). Of this total, we issued
171,244 shares of our commons stock to SSH for the six vessels delivered during the first
quarter of 2015 and 52,394 shares of our common stock to SSH for the two vessels delivered to
us in 2014. In addition, SSH has agreed with us not to own any drybulk carriers greater than
30,000 dwt for so long as the Administrative Services Agreement is in full force and effect. This
agreement may be terminated by SSH after the third anniversary of our initial public offering
upon 12 months’ notice or by us with 24 months’ notice.
During July 2013, we issued and sold 1,250,000 common shares to SSH for $10,000 as part of a
series of Norwegian private equity offerings exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
These common shares were subject to a contractual lock-up until July 2014. During November 2014,
we issued and sold 4,000,000 shares to SSH for $15,000 as part of a private placement transaction.
Our vessels are commercially managed by SCM and technically managed by SSM pursuant
to a Master Agreement, which may be terminated by either party upon 24 months’ notice. We
expect that additional vessels that we may acquire in the future will also be managed under the
Master Agreement or on substantially similar terms.
SCM’s services include securing employment for our vessels in the spot market and on time
charters. SCM also manages the Scorpio Group Pools (spot market-oriented vessel pools) which
include Scorpio Ultramax Pool and the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and will manage the Scorpio
Capesize Pool in which we expect our Newbuilding Program will be employed and in which our
owned and time chartered-in vessels are employed.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had the following balances with related
parties, which have been included in the consolidated balance sheets:
(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we earned $7,011 and $1,584, respectively from chartering our
owned and chartered-in vessels to the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and $4,426 and $186, respectively from chartering our
chartered-in vessels to the Scorpio Ultramax Pool. We had balances due from these charterers (primarily consisting of
working capital, undistributed earnings and reimbursable costs) which have been classified as current assets of $4,226
and $1,222 from the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and the Scorpio Ultramax Pool, respectively, as of March 31, 2015 and
$8,482 and $2,460 from the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and the Scorpio Ultramax Pool, respectively, as of December 31,
2014 . As of March 31, 2015, there were non-current balances due from these charterers which relate to working capital
retained by the pools for member vessels that do not have provisions to exit the pool in the next 12 months of $3,396
and $4,561 for the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and Scorpio Ultramax pool, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there
were non-current balances due from these charterers which relate to working capital retained by the pools for member
vessels that do not have provisions to exit the pool in the next 12 months of $3,272 and $2,033 for the Scorpio
Kamsarmax Pool and Scorpio Ultramax pool, respectively.
The Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and the Scorpio Ultramax Pool were significant customers for the three months
ended March 31, 2015, accounting for 58.0% and 36.1% of our total vessel revenue, respectively.
(2) For commercial management of any of our vessels that does not operate in one of these pools, we will pay SCM a
daily fee of $300 per vessel, plus a 1.75% commission on the gross revenues per charter fixture. Effective
November 20, 2014, SCM has agreed to reduce the 1.75% commission to 1.00% until the first day when the closing
price of the Company’s common stock is not less than $9.75 per share, adjusted to include all authorized dividends
paid on the Company’s share capital, at which time the commission will revert to 1.75%. The Scorpio Ultramax
Pool and the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool participants, including us and third-party owners of similar vessels, pay
SCM a pool management fee of $300 per vessel per day, plus a 1.75% commission on the gross revenues per
charter fixture. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $136 of vessel revenue relating to the
reduction in commissions charged to the Scorpio Group Pools pursuant to the decrease of commission SCM
receives on gross freight from 1.75% to 1.00% effective November 20, 2014. SCM has agreed to refund to the
Company $100 as a result of this reduced commission. In addition, as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the

fees charged to four time chartered-in vessels which were returned to their owners. Pursuant to the Master
Agreement, contracts for the construction of vessels that are sold prior to the company taking delivery of the
vessels results in a termination fee of $500,000 per vessel This fee was applicable to five of the 11 vessel
construction contracts classified as Assets held for sale as of March 31, 2015 and accordingly, a write down of
Assets held for sale of $2,500 was recorded. This $2,500 was not paid as of March 31, 2015.
(3) SSM’s services include providing technical support, such as arranging the hiring of qualified officers and crew,
supervising the maintenance and performance of vessels, purchasing supplies, spare parts and new equipment,
arranging and supervising drydocking and repairs, and monitoring regulatory and classification society compliance
and customer standards. We pay SSM an annual fee of $200,000 per vessel to provide technical management
services for each of our vessels upon delivery. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 we incurred costs to
SSM of $416 which is a component of vessel operating cost, comprised of $319 related to SSM for technical
support, none of which is unpaid at March 31, 2015, and $97 related to miscellaneous vessel cost reimbursable to
SSM. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $11 of rent allocated from SSM. In addition,
representatives of SSM, including certain subcontractors, provide us with construction supervisory services while
our vessels are being constructed in shipyards. For these services, we will compensate SSM for its direct expenses,
which can vary between $200,000 and $500,000 per vessel. In connection with supervision of 67 of the vessels in
our Newbuilding Program, as of March 31, 2015, we incurred a cost to SSM of $29,000 per vessel,which aggregates
$1,943. We also advanced to SSM $159 and $154 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for
equipment to be placed on board certain of the Vessels under construction. Pursuant to the Master Agreement,
contracts for the construction of vessels that are sold prior to the company taking delivery of the vessels results in
a termination fee of $500,000 per vessel
This fee was applicable to five of the 11 vessel construction contracts classified as Assets held for sale as of March 31,
2015 and accordingly, a write down on Assets held for sale of $2,500 was recorded. This $2,500 was not paid as of
March 31, 2015.
(4) We incur a fee to SSH of $300 per day day for each owned vessel aggregating $143 for the three months ended
March 31, 2015.which reflects direct and indirect expenses incurred by SSH in providing us with administrative
services described above and a pro-rata portion of the salary incurred by SSH for an internal auditor, which is
included in general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2015 this amount was unpaid.
(5) For the three months ended March 31, 2015, SUK charged us $154 for allocated salaries of certain SUK employees
relating to the services such employees performed for the Company, of which $22 and $44 was unpaid as of
March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
(6) In December 31, 2014, we agreed to sell four LR2 tankers to Scorpio Tankers and granted Scorpio Tankers an
option to purchase two additional LR2 tankers (see Note 7). Pursuant to this, we paid Scorpio Tankers $31,277 as a
security deposit relating to estimated costs we would incur to the shipyard for converting the vessels from
Capesize contracts to LR2 contracts and scheduled installments on vessels expected to occur prior to the closing
date of the sale. This deposit is reimbursable to us upon closing.
16. Segments
During 2014, the Company placed its time chartered-in vessels into two pools, the Scorpio
Ultramax Pool, in which the Company placed its four owned Ultramax vessels and its time
chartered-in vessels ranging from 48,500 DWT to 61,000 DWT, and the Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool in
which the Company placed its three owned Kamsarmax vessels and its time chartered-in vessels
ranging from 75,500 DWT to 98,700 DWT. In addition to the Company’s Ultramax and Kamsarmax
segments, the Company has identified a third Capesize segment which includes vessels of
approximately 180,000 DWT. Although each vessel within its respective class qualifies as an
operating segment under U.S. GAAP, each vessel also exhibits similar long-term financial
performance and similar economic characteristics to the other vessels within the respective vessel
class, thereby meeting the aggregation criteria in U.S. GAAP. We have therefore chosen to present
our segment information by vessel class using the aggregated information from the individual
vessels.

Our Company
We are an international shipping company that was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on
March 20, 2013 for the purpose of acquiring and operating the latest generation of newbuilding drybulk carriers
with fuel-efficient specifications and carrying capacities of greater than 30,000 dwt. We believe that recent
advances in shipbuilding design and technology should make this generation of vessels more fuel-efficient than
older vessels in the global fleet that compete with us for charters, providing us with a competitive advantage. Our
fleet transports a broad range of major and minor bulk commodities, including ores, coal, grains, and fertilizers,
along worldwide shipping routes, and are, or are expected to be, employed primarily in the spot market or in spot
market-oriented pools of similarly sized vessels. As of the date of this prospectus, our operating fleet consists of
22 drybulk vessels, of which 20 are vessels that we charter-in and two are recently delivered Kamsarmax vessels,
with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 1.7 million dwt. We refer to these vessels as our Operating
Fleet. We also have two time charter-in contracts that are scheduled to commence during the first half of 2015
and contracts for the construction of 71 newbuilding drybulk vessels, excluding contracts for the construction of
seven newbuilding drybulk vessels (described below) that we have either sold or have classified as held for sale,
at established shipyards in Japan, China, South Korea and Romania, which we have agreed to acquire for an
aggregate purchase price of $2,662.9 million, including 29 Ultramax vessels, 20 Kamsarmax vessels and 22
Capesize vessels, each with a carrying capacity of between 60,000 dwt and 180,000 dwt and an aggregate
carrying capacity of approximately 7.4 million dwt. We refer to these newbuilding vessels as our Newbuilding
Program. We expect to take delivery of the vessels in our Newbuilding Program as follows: 45 vessels in 2015
and 26 vessels in 2016. Until we have taken delivery of a larger number of the vessels in our Newbuilding
Program, we do not anticipate earning a material amount of revenues from our operations.
In December 2013, we completed our underwritten initial public offering of 31,300,000 common shares at
$9.75 per share, and in January 2014, the underwriters in the initial public offering exercised their option to
purchase an additional 4,695,000 common shares. In February 2014, we completed our offer to exchange
unregistered common shares that were previously issued in Norwegian equity private placements (other than the
common shares owned by affiliates of us) for common shares that were registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Offer. Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, holders of
95,766,779 unregistered common shares validly tendered their shares in exchange for such registered common

shares, representing a participation rate of 99.7%. On July 31, 2014, we delisted from the Norwegian OTC. In
addition, on November 20, 2014, we issued and sold an aggregate of 40,000,000 common shares to certain
institutional investors, certain of our executive officers and SSH in a private offering, which we refer to as the
November 2014 Private Placement.
On December 17, 2014, we announced that it has (i) reached agreements with shipyards in South Korea and
Romania to modify six newbuilding contracts for Capesize bulk carriers into newbuilding contracts for LR2
product tankers, (ii) reached an agreement to sell four of these LR2 newbuilding contracts to Scorpio Tankers
Inc. (“Scorpio Tankers”), a related party, and (iii) granted options to Scorpio Tankers Inc. to purchase the two
remaining LR2 newbuilding contracts. The sale price for each of the four LR2 newbuilding contracts is $51.0
million. The two option contracts, which expire on May 31, 2015, may be exercised by Scorpio Tankers Inc. for
a fixed purchase price of $52.5 million for each contract. We expect to record an aggregate loss on disposal of
approximately $41 million on the four modified newbuilding contracts. We also expect to record an aggregate
loss of approximately $14 million on the potential disposal of the two option modified newbuilding contracts,
which will be reclassified on the balance sheet as assets held for sale. The independent members of our Board of
Directors unanimously approved the transaction with Scorpio Tankers Inc. described in the preceding paragraphs.
At the purchase prices indicated above, a sale of all six modified newbuilding contracts will result in an
estimated reduction of future cash obligations of approximately $120 million.
On December 19, 2014 we announced that we entered into an agreement to sell a Kamsarmax newbuilding
dry bulk vessel for approximately $30.7 million. The vessel is currently being constructed at Tsuneishi Group
(Zhoushan) Shipbuilding Inc., and has an expected delivery date in the third quarter of 2015.
As of September 30, 2014, we have paid a total of $863.3 million in initial installment payments due under
our shipbuilding contracts for our Newbuilding Program, including $96.4 million associated with the Kamsarmax
we have agreed to sell and the six Capesize vessels for which we have reached agreements with the shipyards to
convert to LR2 product carriers. We plan to finance the remaining contractual commitments of $2,175.5 million,
which amount includes the remaining commitments of $279.5 million on the Kamsarmax vessel we have agreed
to sell and the six Capesize vessels for which we have reached agreements with the shipyards to convert to LR2
product carriers, with cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings under committed and proposed new
secured credit facilities, potential sales of vessels under construction, and subject to favorable market conditions
in the future, from the net proceeds of public or private debt or equity offerings that can be obtained on terms
attractive to us.
Our Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Emanuele Lauro, is a member of the Lolli-
Ghetti family, which in 2009 founded Scorpio Tankers, a large international shipping company engaged in
seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products. As of December 30, 2014, it owned or had contracted for
the construction of approximately 75 tanker vessels. Mr. Lauro is currently its Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. The Lolli-Ghetti family also owns and controls the Scorpio Group, which includes Scorpio Ship
Management S.A.M., or SSM, which provides us with vessel technical management services, Scorpio
Commercial Management S.A.M., or SCM, which provides us with vessel commercial management services, and
Scorpio Services Holding Limited, or SSH, which provides us and other related entities with administrative
services and services related to the acquisition of vessels. Our Co-Founder, President and Director, Mr. Robert
Bugbee is also the President and a Director of Scorpio Tankers, has a senior management position at the Scorpio
Group, and was formerly the President and Chief Operating Officer of OMI Corporation, or OMI, which was a
publicly traded shipping company. SSM and SCM also provide technical and commercial management services
to Scorpio Tankers as well as unaffiliated vessel owners.

We believe that one of our principal strengths is our relationship with Scorpio Tankers and the Scorpio
Group of companies. Our vessel operations are managed under the supervision of our board of directors, by our
management team and by companies that are members of the Scorpio Group. We expect that our relationship
with Scorpio Tankers and the Scorpio Group of companies will give us access to their relationships with major
international charterers, lenders and shipbuilders. We will have access to Scorpio Group’s customer and supplier
relationships and their technical, commercial and managerial expertise, which we believe will allow us to
compete more effectively and operate our vessels on a cost efficient basis. The Scorpio Group, through SSH,
beneficially owns approximately 1.0% of our common shares, excluding the common shares to be issued
pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.
In addition to our relationship with Scorpio Tankers, we believe there are opportunities for us to benefit
from operational, charterer and shipyard-based synergies due to our broader shared relationship with the Scorpio
Group which includes:
• SSM, which provides vessel technical management services for approximately 40 vessels owned by
third-parties, including Scorpio Tankers, and provides us with the same services for all of our vessels.
• SCM, which provides vessel commercial management services for approximately 100 vessels owned
by third-parties, including Scorpio Tankers, and provides us with the same services for all of our
vessels. SCM manages approximately 75 vessels (excluding the vessels in our fleet) through the spot
market-oriented Scorpio Group Pools, which currently include the Scorpio LR2 Pool, the Scorpio
Panamax Tanker Pool, the Scorpio MR Pool, Scorpio Handymax Tanker Pool, the Scorpio Ultramax
Pool, Scorpio Kamsarmax Pool and the Scorpio Capesize Pool.
• SSH, which provides us and related entities with administrative services and services related to the
acquisition of vessels.
We can provide no assurance, however, that we will realize any benefits from our relationship with Scorpio
Tankers or the Scorpio Group.
As described above, Emanuele Lauro, our Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a member
of the Lolli-Ghetti family which owns and controls SCM, our commercial manager, and SSM, our technical
manager. These relationships, and other relationships between certain of our executive officers and members of
the Scorpio Group, may create certain conflicts of interest between us, on the one hand, and other members of the
Scorpio Group, including our commercial and technical manager, on the other hand. For example, our Chief
Executive Officer, President, and Chief Operating Officer each participate in business activities not associated
with us, including serving as members of the management team of Scorpio Tankers, and are not required to work
fulltime on our affairs. We expect that each of our executive officers devote a substantial portion of his business
time to the completion of our Newbuilding Program and management of the Company. Additionally, our
executive officers named above serve in similar positions in the Scorpio Group. This may create conflicts of
interest in matters involving or affecting us and our customers, including in the chartering, purchase, sale and
operation of the vessels in our fleet versus vessels managed by other members of the Scorpio Group. As result of
these conflicts, it is not certain that these conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor, and other members of
the Scorpio Group, who have limited contractual duties, may favor their own or other owners’ interest over our
interests.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of
our initial public offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease
to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.0 billion in “total annual gross revenues” during our
most recently completed fiscal year, if we become a “large accelerated filer” with market capitalization of more
than $700.0 million, or as of any date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt
over the three year period to such date. For as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company and take
advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide shareholders may be different
from information provided by other public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of the extended transition
period relating to the exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards and as a result, we will
comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is
required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out
of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our
securities, you should carefully consider all of the information included in this prospectus, the risk factors and
all of the other information included in any prospectus supplement and the documents that have been
incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including those in “Item 3—Key
Information—D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed
with the Commission on April 2, 2014, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file

the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information—Information Incorporated
by Reference.” The occurrence of one or more of those risk factors could adversely impact our business,
financial condition or results of operations. When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus
supplement, we may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in the prospectus supplement.

Matters discussed in this prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to
encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements
include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying
assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This document
and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements
which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect” and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are
based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical
operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe
that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our
control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, and in the documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include:
• the strength of world economies;
• fluctuations in interest rates;
• general drybulk market conditions, including fluctuations in charter hire rates and vessel values;
• changes in demand in the drybulk shipping industry, including the market for our vessels;
• changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry docking and insurance costs;
• changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities;
• potential liability from pending or future litigation;
• general domestic and international political conditions;
• potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events;
• the availability of financing and refinancing;
• vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hire;
• other important factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6; and
• other important factors described from time to time in the reports we file with the Commission and the New
York Stock Exchange.
We caution readers of this prospectus and any prospectus supplement not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. We undertake no obligation, and specifically
decline any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus might not occur.

These factors and the other risk factors described in this prospectus are not necessarily all of the important
factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of our
forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. Consequently,
there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if
substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. These forward looking
statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary
materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Given these uncertainties, prospective
investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

We are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands as a corporation. The Marshall Islands has a less
developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides protections for investors to a
significantly lesser extent.
Most of our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries are residents of countries other than the
United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our
directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for
United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our directors or officers, or
our subsidiaries or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United
States. However, we have expressly submitted to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts
sitting in the City of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding arising under the securities laws
of the United States or any state in the United States. The Trust Company of the Marshall Islands, Inc., Trust
Company Complex, Ajeltake Island, Ajeltake Road, Majuro, Marshall Islands MH96960, as our registered agent,
can accept service of process on our behalf in any such action.
In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Marshall Islands would (1) recognize or
enforce against us or our directors or officers judgments of courts of the United States based on civil liability
provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws; or (2) impose liabilities against us or our directors
and officers in original actions brought in the Marshall Islands, based on these laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We or the selling shareholders may sell or distribute the securities included in this prospectus through
underwriters, through agents, to dealers, in private transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to the prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.
In addition, we or the selling shareholders may sell some or all of our securities included in this prospectus
through:
• a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to
facilitate the transaction;
• purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers; or
• trading plans entered into by the selling shareholders pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act,
that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any prospectus supplement
hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such
trading plans.
In addition, we or the selling shareholders may enter into option or other types of transactions that require us
or them to deliver our securities to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this
prospectus. We or the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For
example, we or the selling shareholders may:
• enter into transactions involving short sales of our common shares by broker-dealers;
• sell common shares short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;
• enter into option or other types of transactions that require us or the selling shareholders to deliver
common shares to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the common shares under this
prospectus; or
• loan or pledge the common shares to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of
default, sell the pledged shares.
We or the selling shareholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not
covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus
supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this
prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party
may use securities pledged by us or the selling shareholders or borrowed from us, the selling shareholders or
others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received
from us or the selling shareholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of
stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will
be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we or the
selling shareholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in
turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer
its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other
securities.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or other persons acting on our behalf or on the behalf of the
selling shareholders that participate with us or the selling shareholders in the distribution of the securities may be
deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received or profit realized by them on the resale of the securities
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. As a result, we have
informed the selling shareholders that Regulation M, promulgated under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales by

the selling shareholders in the market. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or
agent that participates in transactions involving the sale of our common shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding
between any broker or dealer and us with respect to the offer or sale of the securities pursuant to this prospectus.
At the time that any particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required by the Securities Act, a
prospectus supplement will be distributed, setting forth the terms of the offering, including the aggregate number
of securities being offered, the purchase price of the securities, the initial offering price of the securities, the
names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting
compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
Furthermore, we, our executive officers, our directors and the selling shareholders may agree, subject to certain
exemptions, that for a certain period from the date of the prospectus supplement under which the securities are
offered, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of an underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of any of our common shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
our common shares. However, an underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release any of the securities subject to
these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. We expect an underwriter to exclude from these lock-up
agreements, securities exercised and/or sold pursuant to trading plans entered into by the selling shareholders
pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this
prospectus and any prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of
parameters described in such trading plans.
Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method
permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an at-the-market offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated
under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange, the
existing trading market for our common shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an
exchange.
We will bear costs relating to the securities offered and sold by us under this Registration Statement.

The following is a description of the material terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation
and amended and restated bylaws. Copies of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws have
been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Purpose
Our purpose, as stated in our amended and restated articles of incorporation, is to engage in any lawful act
or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the BCA. Our amended and restated
articles of incorporation and bylaws do not impose any limitations on the ownership rights of our shareholders.
Share History
On March 20, 2013, we issued 1,500 common shares to SSH in connection with our initial capitalization.
Between July 1, 2013 and July 16, 2013, we issued and sold 31,250,000 common shares (including 1,500
common shares issued in connection with our formation), par value $0.01 per share, for net proceeds of $242.8
million; on September 24, 2013, we issued and sold an additional 33,400,000 common shares for net proceeds of
$290.2 million; and on October 31, 2013, we issued and sold an additional 32,590,411 common shares for net
proceeds of $291.0 million. These common shares were initially sold in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and in the United States to “qualified institutional buyers” as
defined in, and in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act. We refer to these three equity private placements
collectively as the “Norwegian Private Placements.”
In December 2013, we completed our underwritten initial public offering of 31,300,000 common shares at
$9.75 per share, and in January 2014, the underwriters in the initial public offering exercised their option to
purchase an additional 4,695,000 common shares. In February 2014, we completed our offer to exchange
unregistered common shares that were previously issued in the Norwegian Private Placements (other than the
common shares owned by affiliates of us) for common shares that were registered under the Securities Act,
which we refer to as the Exchange Offer. Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, holders of 95,766,779
unregistered common shares validly tendered their shares in exchange for such registered common shares,
representing a participation rate of 99.7%.
During the third quarter of 2014, we issued an aggregate of 52,394 common shares to SSH pursuant to the
Administrative Services Agreement in connection with the delivery of two vessels to us.
On November 20, 2014, we issued and sold an aggregate of 40,000,000 common shares to SSH, certain of
our executive officers, and certain institutional investors in a private offering.
Common Shares
Each outstanding common share entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred shares, holders of
common shares are entitled to receive ratably all dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of
funds legally available for dividends. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of

our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred
stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive pro rata our
remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of common shares do not have conversion, redemption or
pre-emptive rights to subscribe to any of our securities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our
common shares are subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred shares, which we may issue in the future.
Preferred Shares
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to establish one or more
series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of
that series, including:
• the designation of the series;
• the number of shares of the series;
• the preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications,

• the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series.

Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote. There is no
provision for cumulative voting.
Our amended and restated bylaws require our board of directors to consist of at least one member. Upon the
completion of this offering, our board of directors will consist of five members. Our amended and restated
bylaws may be amended by the vote of a majority of our entire board of directors.
Directors are elected annually on a staggered basis, and each shall serve for a three year term and until his
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, except in the event of his death, resignation, removal, or the
earlier termination of his term of office. Our board of directors has the authority to fix the amounts which shall
be payable to the members of the board of directors for attendance at any meeting or for services rendered to us.
Shareholder Meetings
Under our amended and restated bylaws, annual meetings of shareholders will be held at a time and place
selected by our board of directors. The meetings may be held in or outside of the Marshall Islands. Special
meetings may be called at any time by a majority of our board of directors, the chairman of our board of
directors, an officer of the Company who is also a director or a majority of the shares then outstanding and
eligible to vote. Our board of directors may set a record date between 15 and 60 days before the date of any
meeting to determine the shareholders that will be eligible to receive notice and vote at the meeting. One or more
shareholders representing at least one-third of the total voting rights of our total issued and outstanding shares
present in person or by proxy at a shareholder meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of the meeting.

fail to agree on a price for the common shares, the BCA procedures involve, among other things, the institution of
proceedings in the high court of the Republic of The Marshall Islands or in any appropriate court in any jurisdiction
in which our shares are primarily traded on a local or national securities exchange.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent authorized by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorney’s fees
and disbursements and court costs) to our directors and officers and carry directors’ and officers’ insurance
providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that
these indemnification provisions and this insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated articles of
incorporation and bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of
their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our
shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement
and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors,
officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that
in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or
employees for which indemnification is sought.
Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws
Several provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, which are summarized
below, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our
vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize
shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these anti-takeover
provisions, which are summarized below, could also discourage, delay or prevent (1) the merger or acquisition of
us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise that a shareholder may consider in its best interest and
(2) the removal of incumbent officers and directors.

Business combinations
Although the BCA does not contain specific provisions regarding “business combinations” between
companies organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands and “interested shareholders,” we have included
these provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation. Specifically, our amended and restated
articles of incorporation prohibit us from engaging in a “business combination” with certain persons for three
years following the date the person becomes an interested shareholder. Interested shareholders generally include:

These provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation do not apply to a business
combination if:
• before a person became an interested shareholder, our board of directors approved either the business
combination or the transaction in which the shareholder became an interested shareholder;
• upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested

the transaction commenced, other than certain excluded shares;
• at or following the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, the business
combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of
our outstanding voting shares that is not owned by the interest shareholder;
• the shareholder was or became an interested shareholder prior to the closing of this offering;
• a shareholder became an interested shareholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as practicable divested
itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the shareholder ceased to be an interested shareholder;

combination between us and such shareholder, have been an interested shareholder but for the
inadvertent acquisition of ownership; or

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, under one or more indentures, each
dated as of a date on or prior to the issuance of the debt securities to which it relates. We may issue senior debt
securities and subordinated debt securities pursuant to separate indentures, a senior indenture and a subordinated
indenture, respectively, in each case between us and the trustee named in the indenture. These indentures will be
filed either as exhibits to an amendment to this Registration Statement, or as an exhibit to an Exchange Act report
that will be incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement or a prospectus supplement. We will refer to
any or all of these reports as “subsequent filings.” The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture, as
amended or supplemented from time to time, are sometimes referred to individually as an “indenture” and
collectively as the “indentures.” Each indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act. The
aggregate principal amount of debt securities which may be issued under each indenture will be unlimited and
each indenture will contain the specific terms of any series of debt securities or provide that those terms must be
set forth in or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution, as defined in the applicable prospectus
supplement, and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.
The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions.
The statements below are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of
the provisions of the applicable indenture. The specific terms of any debt securities that we may offer, including
any modifications of, or additions to, the general terms described below as well as any applicable material U.S.
federal income tax considerations concerning the ownership of such debt securities will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement or supplemental indenture. Accordingly, for a complete description of the
terms of a particular issue of debt securities, the general description of the debt securities set forth below should
be read in conjunction with the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture, as amended or supplemented
from time to time.
General
Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities which may be issued, and each indenture provides that
debt securities may be issued up to the aggregate principal amount from time to time. The debt securities may be
issued in one or more series. The senior debt securities will be unsecured and will rank in parity with all of our
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each series of subordinated debt securities will be unsecured
and subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness of debt securities will be described in an
accompanying prospectus supplement.
You should read the subsequent filings relating to the particular series of debt securities for the following
terms of the offered debt securities:
• the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations;
• the issue price, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount;
• the maturity date;
• the interest rate per annum, if any;
• if the offered debt securities provide for interest payments, the date from which interest will accrue, the
dates on which interest will be payable, the date on which payment of interest will commence and the
regular record dates for interest payment dates;
• any optional or mandatory sinking fund provisions or conversion or exchangeability provisions;
• the date, if any, after which and the price or prices at which the offered debt securities may be
optionally redeemed or must be mandatorily redeemed and any other terms and provisions of optional
or mandatory redemptions;

• whether interest will be payable in cash or additional securities at our or the holder’s option and the
terms and conditions upon which the election may be made;

• additional provisions, if any, related to defeasance and discharge of the offered debt securities; and
• the applicability of any guarantees.
Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the Commission relating to the indenture, principal,
premium and interest will be payable and the debt securities will be transferable at the corporate trust office of
the applicable trustee. Unless other arrangements are made or set forth in subsequent filings or a supplemental
indenture, principal, premium and interest will be paid by checks mailed to the holders at their registered
addresses.
Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the Commission, the debt securities will be issued
only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. No
service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with these debt securities.
Some or all of the debt securities may be issued as discounted debt securities, bearing no interest or interest
at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates, to be sold at a substantial discount below the stated
principal amount. United States federal income consequences and other special considerations applicable to any
discounted securities will be described in subsequent filings with the Commission relating to those securities.
We refer you to applicable subsequent filings with respect to any deletions or additions or modifications
from the description contained in this prospectus.

Senior Debt
We may issue senior debt securities under a senior debt indenture. These senior debt securities would rank
on an equal basis with all our other unsecured debt except subordinated debt.
Subordinated Debt
We may issue subordinated debt securities under a subordinated debt indenture. Subordinated debt would
rank subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the subordinated debt indenture, to all
our senior debt (both secured and unsecured).
In general, the holders of all senior debt are first entitled to receive payment of the full amount unpaid on
senior debt before the holders of any of the subordinated debt securities are entitled to receive a payment on
account of the principal or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated debt securities in certain
events.
If we default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any senior debt when it
becomes due and payable after any applicable grace period, then, unless and until the default is cured or waived
or ceases to exist, we cannot make a payment on account of or redeem or otherwise acquire the subordinated debt
securities.
If there is any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding relating to us or our property,
then all senior debt must be paid in full before any payment may be made to any holders of subordinated debt
securities.
Furthermore, if we default in the payment of the principal of and accrued interest on any subordinated debt
securities that is declared due and payable upon an event of default under the subordinated debt indenture,
holders of all our senior debt will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before holders of such
subordinated debt can receive any payments.
Covenants
Any series of offered debt securities may have covenants in addition to or differing from those included in
the applicable indenture which will be described in subsequent filings prepared in connection with the offering of
such securities, limiting or restricting, among other things:
• the ability of us or our subsidiaries to incur either secured or unsecured debt, or both;

(2) reduces the rate of or changes the interest payment time on any security or alters its redemption
provisions (other than any alteration to any such section which would not materially adversely affect the legal

(3) reduces the principal or changes the maturity of any security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the

(4) waives a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any security

which defaults can be waived, certain modifications affecting shareholders or certain currency-related issues; or
(7) waives a redemption payment with respect to any security or change any of the provisions with respect
to the redemption of any securities;
will be effective against any holder without his consent. Other terms as specified in subsequent filings may be
modified without the consent of the holders.
Events of Default
Each indenture defines an event of default for the debt securities of any series as being any one of the
following events:
• default in any payment of interest when due which continues for 30 days;
• default in any payment of principal or premium when due;
• default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due;

• default in the performance of any covenant in the debt securities or the applicable indenture which
continues for 60 days after we receive notice of the default;
• default under a bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money by us or
our subsidiaries (to the extent we are directly responsible or liable therefor) having a principal amount
in excess of a minimum amount set forth in the applicable subsequent filing, whether such
indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness
becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have
become due and payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or cured within
30 days after we receive notice of the default; and
• events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
An event of default of one series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default with
respect to any other series of debt securities.
There may be such other or different events of default as described in an applicable subsequent filing with
respect to any class or series of offered debt securities.
In case an event of default occurs and continues for the debt securities of any series, the applicable trustee or
the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding of that
series may declare the principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the debt securities of that series to be due and
payable. Any event of default for the debt securities of any series which has been cured may be waived by the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding.
Each indenture requires us to file annually after debt securities are issued under that indenture with the
applicable trustee a written statement signed by two of our officers as to the absence of material defaults under
the terms of that indenture. Each indenture provides that the applicable trustee may withhold notice to the holders
of any default if it considers it in the interest of the holders to do so, except notice of a default in payment of
principal, premium or interest.
Subject to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default occurs and continues, each indenture provides
that the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under that indenture at the request,
order or direction of holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to these
provisions for indemnification and the rights of the trustee, each indenture provides that the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the trustee as long as the exercise of that right does not conflict with any law or the indenture.

A subsequent filing may further describe the provisions, if any, of any particular series of offered debt
securities permitting a discharge defeasance.
Global Securities
The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities
that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository identified in an applicable subsequent filing and
registered in the name of the depository or a nominee for the depository. In such a case, one or more global
securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series to be represented by the global security or
securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive certificated form, a
global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of
the depository or by a nominee of the depository to the depository or another nominee of the depository or by the
depository or any nominee to a successor depository for that series or a nominee of the successor depository and
except in the circumstances described in an applicable subsequent filing.
We expect that the following provisions will apply to depository arrangements for any portion of a series of
debt securities to be represented by a global security. Any additional or different terms of the depository
arrangement will be described in an applicable subsequent filing.
Upon the issuance of any global security, and the deposit of that global security with or on behalf of the
depository for the global security, the depository will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system,
the principal amounts of the debt securities represented by that global security to the accounts of institutions that
have accounts with the depository or its nominee. The accounts to be credited will be designated by the
underwriters or agents engaging in the distribution of the debt securities or by us, if the debt securities are offered
and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participating
institutions or persons that may hold interest through such participating institutions. Ownership of beneficial
interests by participating institutions in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of the beneficial
interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depository for the global security or by its
nominee. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security by persons that hold through participating
institutions will be shown on, and the transfer of the beneficial interests within the participating institutions will
be effected only through, records maintained by those participating institutions. The laws of some jurisdictions
may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form. The
foregoing limitations and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global securities.
So long as the depository for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of that global security,
the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt
securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Unless otherwise
specified in an applicable subsequent filing and except as specified below, owners of beneficial interests in the
global security will not be entitled to have debt securities of the series represented by the global security

registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities of the
series in certificated form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purposes under the indenture.
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in the global security must rely on the procedures of the
depository and, if such person is not a participating institution, on the procedures of the participating institution
through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.
The depository may grant proxies and otherwise authorize participating institutions to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a holder is entitled to
give or take under the applicable indenture. We understand that, under existing industry practices, if we request
any action of holders or any owner of a beneficial interest in the global security desires to give any notice or take
any action a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, the depository would authorize the
participating institutions to give the notice or take the action, and participating institutions would authorize
beneficial owners owning through such participating institutions to give the notice or take the action or would
otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.
Unless otherwise specified in applicable subsequent filings, payments of principal, premium and interest on
debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depository or its nominee will be made
by us to the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security.
We expect that the depository for any debt securities represented by a global security, upon receipt of any
payment of principal, premium or interest, will credit participating institutions’ accounts with payments in
amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as
shown on the records of the depository. We also expect that payments by participating institutions to owners of
beneficial interests in the global security held through those participating institutions will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of
customers registered in street names, and will be the responsibility of those participating institutions. None of us,
the trustees or any agent of ours or the trustees will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in a global security, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial interests.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable subsequent filings, a global security of any series will be
exchangeable for certificated debt securities of the same series only if:
• the depository for such global securities notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
depository or such depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in
either case, a successor depository is not appointed by us within 90 days after we receive the notice or
become aware of the ineligibility;
• we in our sole discretion determine that the global securities shall be exchangeable for certificated debt
securities; or
• there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable indenture with
respect to the debt securities of that series.
Upon any exchange, owners of beneficial interests in the global security or securities will be entitled to
physical delivery of individual debt securities in certificated form of like tenor and terms equal in principal
amount to their beneficial interests, and to have the debt securities in certificated form registered in the names of
the beneficial owners, which names are expected to be provided by the depository’s relevant participating
institutions to the applicable trustee.
In the event that the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, acts as depository for the global securities of any
series, the global securities will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
DTC’s partnership nominee.

banks and broker/dealers), as well as money market instruments.
DTC is a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Company, or DTCC. DTCC is a holding company
established in 1999 to combine DTC and NSCC. DTCC, through its subsidiaries, provides clearing, settlement
and information services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, government and mortgage backed
securities, money market instruments and over the-counter derivatives. In addition, DTCC is a leading processor
of mutual funds and insurance transactions, linking funds and carriers with their distribution networks. DTCC’s
customer base extends to thousands of companies within the global financial services industry. DTCC serves
brokers, dealers, institutional investors, banks, trust companies, mutual fund companies, insurance carriers, hedge
funds and other financial intermediaries—either directly or through correspondent relationships.
DTCC is industry-owned by its customers who are members of the financial community, such as banks,
broker/dealers, mutual funds and other financial institutions. DTCC operates on an at-cost basis, returning excess
revenue from transaction fees to its member firms. All services provided by DTC are regulated by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The 2014 DTCC Board of Directors is composed of 19 directors serving one-year terms. Thirteen directors
are representatives of clearing agency participants, including international broker/dealers, custodian and clearing
banks, and investment institutions; of these, two directors are designated by DTCC’s preferred shareholders,
which are NYSE Euronext and FINRA. Three directors are from non-participants. The remaining three are the
chairman, chief executive officer and president, and chief operating officer of DTCC. All of the Board members
except those designated by the preferred shareholders are elected annually.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, the debt securities may be registered in the name of DTC’s nominee,
Cede & Co. The deposit of the debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. will
effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt
securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participating institutions to whose accounts debt
securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participating institutions remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Delivery of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participating institutions, by direct
participating institutions to indirect participating institutions, and by direct participating institutions and indirect
participating institutions to beneficial owners of debt securities are governed by arrangements among them,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. consents or votes with respect to the debt securities. Under its usual
procedures, DTC mails a proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The proxy assigns Cede &
Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participating institution to whose accounts the debt securities are
credited on the record date.
If applicable, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the debt securities of a series
represented by global securities are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the
interest of each direct participating institutions in that issue to be redeemed.
To the extent that any debt securities provide for repayment or repurchase at the option of the holders
thereof, a beneficial owner shall give notice of any option to elect to have its interest in the global security repaid

by us, through its participating institution, to the applicable trustee, and shall effect delivery of the interest in a
global security by causing the direct participating institution to transfer the direct participating institution’s
interest in the global security or securities representing the interest, on DTC’s records, to the applicable trustee.
The requirement for physical delivery of debt securities in connection with a demand for repayment or
repurchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the global security or securities representing
the debt securities are transferred by direct participating institutions on DTC’s records.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository for the debt securities at any
time. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not appointed, debt security
certificates are required to be printed and delivered as described above.
We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through the securities depository. In
that event, debt security certificates will be printed and delivered as described above.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for its accuracy.

We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of any of our debt or equity securities issued by us.
Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase,
on specified dates, such securities, at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth
in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any
purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the securities
otherwise deliverable, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus
supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, and any
acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions, provisions relating to U.S. federal income tax
considerations, if any, or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.
The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa,
which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and those
payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof
to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase
contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may
constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under the indenture.
The purchase contracts will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any principles thereof relating to conflicts of law that would result in the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
