Cambridge urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and, when available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information and a more complete description of the transaction summarized briefly in this presentation.

Additionally, Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) is also assisting Cambridge in connection with the proposed Mergers, for which it will receive a fee. Cambridge and its directors and executive officers, EBC and Cowen may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of Cambridge stockholders to be held to approve the Mergers.

1. Positive Industry Dynamics

Shifts in Global Refining Capacity Benefit the Product Tanker Trade

Overview

Key drivers of structural demand increases:

— New export refineries in Middle East / Asia

— US continues to enhance product trade pattern expansion with growing exports

— Refinery closures in traditional high consuming areas; Australia / Japan and Europe

— Shifting trade patterns resulting in ton-mile expansion

MR ton-mile demand should continue to increase more than MR Supply in 2015 and 2016

Long / medium term fundamentals should tighten MR utilization and lead to favorable tanker rates

Positive Industry Dynamics

The Benefits of Low Oil Prices

Overview

Lower oil prices driving increased cargo volumes in Q1 2015, while increasing profitability through both higher rates and lower voyage expenses

— Current average spot rates remain strong

Greater throughput in refining industry – US Gulf refineries operating at 90% utilization towards the end of February 2015 (1)

Oil price volatility causing increased oil trading arbitrage and overall MR product tanker demand

Increasing ship utilization:

— Oil price contango facilitating longer-haul product trades

— Could lead to port congestion

MR Tanker Rates Increasing as Oil Prices Decline(2)

Positive Industry Dynamics

Spot Market and Term Charter Rates Continue to Rise

Expanding US exports, Russian refinery upgrades, Mideast export refinery completions, Japanese/Australian refinery shutdowns, and European refinery closures provide a robust backdrop for expected increasing product tanker demand

According to leading industry analysts, MR Earnings are forecast to increase to $19,512/day and $20,249/day in 2015 and 2016, respectively(1)

Compelling Growth Strategy

Disciplined Plan to Expand from 8 to 28 Ships by 2017

Disciplined and strategic acquisition strategy is expected to lead to scale and operational efficiencies

– Successful execution of our vessel acquisition strategy would result in 28 MR product tankers by the fourth quarter of 2017(1)

– Addition of modern tonnage will increase fuel efficiency and trading flexibility while decreasing average age and opex

– The vessels in the acquisition strategy consist of 51,000 dwt (two vessels) and 50,300 dwt (18 vessels) MR product tankers built at major South Korean shipyards

– The two on-the-water acquisitions were built in 2007 and the two proposed secondhand purchases were built in 2013

– Financial structure and infrastructure provide platform for stable growth

Fully Integrated Platform with Low Cost Advantage

Transparent and Experienced Management Team Delivers Lower OPEX

Parakou Ship Management, which operates in-house, has shown a competitive advantage in providing technical management leading to dramatically lower costs. Advantages include:

– OPEX of $5,700/day for existing tankers and estimated $5,000/day for newbuildings results in 14% cost advantage relative to peer group

Lower crewing costs by negotiation of more favorable contracts

In-house management of drydock expenses leads to favorable pricing with ship repair yards

More efficient use of shore-side operations is reflected in lower repair and maintenance

– Economies of scale lead to benefits remaining within the company

– Total transparency – No fees paid to privately held subsidiaries or third party technical providers

– We believe a premium up to $1,000 – $2,000/day achieved through improved utilization, lower port time/charges, decreased ballast time, easier rerouting for repair/special survey/drydock maintenance, and the flexibility to switch back into clean petroleum product (“CPP”) trades to capitalize on earnings spikes
