Corporate Governance

Governance Guidelines. All of the Company’s corporate governance materials, including the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board, which includes the criteria used in determining director independence and qualifications for directors, and current copies of its Board committee charters, are published on the Corporate Governance page of the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.gener8maritime.com. These materials are also available in print to any shareholder upon request. The Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments

5

Table of Contents

and modifies its Governance Guidelines and committee charters as warranted. Any modifications are reflected on the Company’s website.

Director Independence. It is the Board’s objective that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). The Board follows the criteria set forth in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to determine director independence. The Company’s independence criteria are set forth in Section II of its Corporate Governance Guidelines. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination.

In accordance with the SEC rules and NYSE listing rules, each of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees is currently comprised solely of independent directors. Members of the Audit Committee must also satisfy a separate SEC independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than their director compensation. The four independent directors of the Company are Ethan Auerbach , Adam Pierce, Roger Schmitz and Steven D. Smith.

Current director Adam Pierce, an employee of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, (“Oaktree”) a NYSE-listed investment management company and shareholder of the Company, who was previously determined to be not independent, was deemed by the Board to be independent under the NYSE listing standards in 2017. The Board considered that fees related to bunker supply contracts were paid by the Company to Oaktree in 2015. The Board did not believe that these transactions would impair Mr. Pierce’s ability to act independently of management.

Committees of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee members are Ethan Auerbach, Roger Schmitz and Steven D. Smith, all of whom qualify as independent under the listing requirements of the NYSE and are financially literate. Mr. Smith is a financial expert as defined under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Please refer to Mr. Smith’s biographical information under the heading “Class II Directors” for his relevant experience. The Compensation Committee members are Ethan Auerbach, Adam Pierce and Steven D. Smith. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members are Roger Schmitz and Steven D. Smith.

Code of Ethics. All directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company must act ethically at all times and in accordance with the policies set forth in the Company’s Code of Ethics. Under the Company’s Code of Ethics, the Board will only grant waivers for a director or an executive officer in limited circumstances and where circumstances would support a waiver. Such waivers may only be made by the Audit Committee.

The Company’s Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.gener8maritime.com and is available in print to any shareholder upon request. The Company intends to provide any disclosures regarding the amendment or waiver of its Code of Ethics on its website.

Communicating Concerns to Directors. Shareholders and other interested parties desiring to communicate directly with the Board, with the non-management directors individually or as a group, or with any individual director may do so in writing addressed to the intended recipient(s), c/o Leonard J. Vrondissis, Secretary, Gener8 Maritime, Inc., 299 Park Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10171. Once the communication is received by the Secretary, the Secretary reviews the communication. Communications that comprise advertisements, solicitations for business, requests for employment, requests for contributions or other inappropriate material will not be forwarded to the Board or our directors. Other communications are promptly forwarded to the addressee.

Executive Sessions

To assure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management and/or independent directors, the non-management and/or independent directors will seek to meet at least annually and may meet as the non-management and/or independent directors deem appropriate. The presiding director at any executive session with the non-management or independent directors will be selected by a majority of the non-management or independent

Summary Compensation Table

  Column (e): Stock Awards

The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock units awarded computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The actual amount realized by the named executive will likely vary based on a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, stock price fluctuations and applicable vesting.

Column (f): Option Awards

The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of options awarded computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the following assumptions: stock price volatility of 49.48%; contractual option term of 7 years; expected option life of 3.5 years; dividend yield of 0%; and risk free interest rate of 2.26%. The actual amount realized by the named executive will likely vary based on a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, stock price fluctuations and applicable vesting.

Restricted Stock Units

In 2015, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), we granted members of management restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in respect of 1,663,660 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, including RSUs in respect of 1,081,379 shares of our common stock to Mr. Georgiopoulos, RSUs in respect of 207,958 shares of our common stock to Mr. Vrondissis and RSUs in respect of 133,093 shares of our common stock to Mr. Tavlarios.

The RSUs of each named executive vest ratably in 20% increments or tranches on June 24, 2015, June 30, 2015, December 1, 2016, December 1, 2017 and December 1, 2018, subject for each increment to the named executive remaining employed with us through the applicable vesting date for such increment, provided that, upon the consummation of an initial public offering, the second increment originally scheduled to vest in December 2015 vested immediately on June 30,

Table of Contents

2015. If the effective time of the Merger occurs prior to December 1, 2018, all outstanding RSUs will become fully vested and will be terminated and cancelled, and will be automatically exchanged for the right to receive ordinary shares of Euronav as part of the Merger Consideration. The shares for the first two vesting increments were issued within three business days after December 3, 2015 and the shares for the remaining vesting increments were issued and are expected to be issued within a similar short period of time following the vesting date for each of such increments. The RSUs of the named executives provide that, upon any termination of a named executive’s employment by us without cause, by him for good reason, or as a result of the non-extension of his employment agreement by us, he will be entitled to 12 months of accelerated vesting (covering all increments scheduled to vest within 12 months of the date of such termination and a pro rata portion of the next increment). The RSUs of the named executives also vest in full in the event of any termination of a named executive’s employment due to death or disability or in the event of a change of control as defined in our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Except with respect to the foregoing accelerated vesting, any unvested RSUs of the named executives are expected to be forfeited upon the termination of a named executive’s employment.

Prior to the vesting of any RSUs, a named executive is entitled to receive payments from us of the equivalent of any dividends or other distributions declared and paid by us on our common stock with respect to the common stock for his vested and unvested RSUs at the same time and in the same form (cash or non-cash) that such dividends or distributions are paid to shareholders on our common stock; provided that distributions on unvested RSUs will be placed into escrow until such time as they become payable or are forfeited.

Under the terms of RSU grant agreements, each of Messrs. Georgiopoulos, Tavlarios and Vrondissis is subject to the confidentiality, noncompetition, nonsolicitation, noninterference and nondisparagement restrictions set forth in their respective employment agreement. The RSU grant agreements provide that in the event any of Messrs. Georgiopoulos, Tavlarios and Vrondissis materially violates any such restrictions and fails to cure such violation, the unvested portion of his outstanding RSUs will be forfeited.

The RSU grant agreements contain restrictions on transfers, pledges and attachment of the RSUs. Messrs. Georgiopoulos, Tavlarios and Vrondissis were also required to become a party to the 2015 Shareholders Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Registration Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2015, between us and certain of our shareholders, as a condition to settlement of the RSUs.

Option Awards

On January 5, 2017, Messrs. Georgiopoulos and Vrondissis each were granted awards of stock options (“Stock Options”) pursuant to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Mr. Georgiopoulos received Stock Options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Vrondissis received Stock Options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock. The Stock Options are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.69 per share of common stock, which is equal to the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on January 5, 2017.

The Stock Options were fully vested upon grant and expire on January 5, 2024. At the effective time of the Merger, each then outstanding Stock Option will terminate and be canceled in exchange for the right to be paid an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company common stock subject to such Stock Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger consideration paid to Company stockholders over the exercise price applicable to such shares of Company common stock subject to such Stock Option.

In the event a recipient’s employment is terminated in connection with certain events, the Stock Options expire on the following dates: (i) in the case of termination due to death or disability, one year after the date of termination of employment; (ii) in the case of termination by us without cause, including by our election not to extend a recipient’s employment agreement, or termination by the recipient for good reason as set forth in the recipient’s employment agreement, one year after the date of termination of employment; (iii) in the case of termination by the recipient without good reason, including by the recipient’s election not to extend his employment agreement, 90 days after the date of termination of employment; (iv) in the case of termination by us for cause, the date of such termination.

Leonard J. Vrondissis and John P. Tavlarios

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

BlueMountain Note and Guarantee Agreement. On March 28, 2014, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Gener8 Maritime Subsidiary V Inc. (formerly known as VLCC Acquisition I Corporation and referred to in this report as “Gener8 Maritime Sub V”) entered into a Note and Guarantee Agreement with BlueMountain, whom we refer to as the “senior note purchasers”. Pursuant to the Note and Guarantee Agreement, we issued senior unsecured notes due 2020 on May 13, 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of $131.6 million to the senior note purchasers for proceeds of $125.0 million (before fees and expenses), after giving effect to the original issue discount provided for in the Note and Guarantee Agreement. We refer to these notes as the “senior notes.” One member of the Board is associated with or was an employee of BlueMountain. In addition, based on information filed publicly with the SEC, BlueMountain owns greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock as of March 27, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the senior notes was $131.6 million, and the unamortized discount on the senior notes was $3.8 million, which we amortize as additional interest expense until March 28, 2020. Interest on the senior notes accrues at the rate of 11.0% per annum in the form of additional senior notes and the balloon repayment is due 2020, except that if we irrevocably elect to pay interest in cash for the remainder of the life of the senior notes, interest on the Senior Notes will thereafter accrue at the rate of 10.0% per annum. Interest expense, including amortization of the discount, amounted to $82.8 million (including $1.1 million amortization of the discount) during the year ended December 31, 2017.

2015 Merger Agreement. On February 24, 2015, General Maritime Corporation (our former name), Gener8 Maritime Acquisition, Inc. (one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries), Navig8 Crude Tankers, Inc. and each of the equityholders’ representatives named therein entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. We refer to Gener8 Maritime Acquisition, Inc. as “Gener8 Acquisition,” to Navig8 Crude Tankers, Inc. as “Navig8 Crude” and to the Agreement and Plan of Merger as the “2015 Merger agreement.” Pursuant to the 2015 Merger agreement, Gener8 Acquisition merged with and into Navig8 Crude, with Navig8 Crude continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary and being renamed Gener8 Maritime Subsidiary Inc. or “Gener8 Subsidiary.” We refer to the transactions contemplated under the 2015 Merger agreement as the “2015 Merger.” The 2015 Merger closed on May 7, 2015. Navig8 Crude’s shareholders that were permitted to receive shares of our common stock pursuant to the Securities Act under the 2015 Merger agreement received 0.8947 shares of our common stock for each common share of Navig8 Crude they owned immediately prior to the 2015 Merger. Navig8 Crude’s shareholders that were not permitted to receive shares of our common stock pursuant to the Securities Act received cash in an amount equal to the number of shares of our common stock such shareholder would have received multiplied by $14.348.

At the closing of the 2015 Merger, we deposited into an account maintained by the 2015 Merger exchange and paying agent, in trust for the benefit of Navig8 Crude’s former shareholders, 31,233,170 shares of our common stock and $4.5 million in cash. The number of shares and amount of cash deposited into such account was calculated based on an assumption that the former holders of 1% of Navig8 Crude’s shares would not be permitted under the 2015 Merger agreement to receive our shares as consideration and would receive cash instead. During the period from May 8, 2015 (post-merger) to December 31, 2015, all of these shares, 232,819 additional shares and $1.2 million in cash were issued to former shareholders of Navig8 Crude as merger consideration and $3.3 million of cash was returned to us from the trust account since the former holders of more than 99.0% of Navig8 Crude’s shares received our shares as consideration. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2016, 1,789 shares were issued to former shareholders of Navig8 Crude. As of December 31, 2017, $3.0 thousand of cash remained in the trust account, and we could be required to deposit into the 2015 merger exchange and paying agent account additional shares pursuant to the 2015 merger agreement having a value of this amount based on a share price of $14,348 per share.

Immediately following the consummation of the 2015 Merger, our shareholders prior to the 2015 Merger owned approximately 34.9 million, or 52.55%, and Navig8 Crude’s shareholders prior to the 2015 Merger owned approximately 31.5 million, or 47.45% of the shares of our common stock, with Oaktree, BlueMountain, Avenue, Aurora, Monarch, BlackRock and Navig8 Limited and/or their respective affiliates each owning greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock, respectively, of our outstanding stock. The 2015 Merger closed on May 7, 2015.

2015 Option. Pursuant to the 2015 Merger agreement, we agreed to convert any outstanding option to acquire Navig8 Crude common stock into an option to acquire the number of shares of our common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Navig8 Crude common stock subject to such stock option immediately prior to the consummation of the 2015 Merger by (ii) 0.8947, at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price specified in such stock option immediately prior to the 2015 Merger by (B) 0.8947. Immediately prior to the consummation of the 2015 Merger, there was one option to purchase 15,000 shares at $13.50 per share issued to L. Spencer Wells. Mr. Wells served as BlueMountain’s designee to the Navig8 Crude board of directors until the consummation of the 2015 Merger. This option, which we referred to as the “2015 option” was converted into an option to purchase 13,420 of our common shares at an exercise price of $15.088 per share. We also agreed to treat the 2015 option as exercisable through July 8, 2017. See above for more information regarding the relationship between BlueMountain and us.

2015 Shareholders Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the merger agreement we entered into a shareholders agreement with certain of our shareholders, including the 2015 commitment parties who hold at least 5% of our outstanding shares, including Aurora, Avenue, BlackRock, BlueMountain, Monarch and Oaktree. We refer to this agreement as the “2015 Shareholders Agreement.”

As of the date of this report, all of the members of our Board of Directors were originally elected pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Shareholders Agreement.

2015 Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the 2015 Merger, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Registration Agreement, with certain of our shareholders, including Aurora, Avenue, BlackRock, BlueMountain, Monarch, Oaktree and Twin Haven. Navig8 Limited subsequently signed a joinder to this agreement. We refer to this agreement, as amended, as the “2015 registration rights agreement,” and to Aurora, Avenue, BlackRock, BlueMountain, Monarch, Navig8 Limited, Oaktree, and Twin Haven as the “2015 principal shareholders.”

The 2015 registration rights agreement provides that, any time following the consummation of an initial public offering by us and from time to time, the 2015 principal shareholders will be entitled to demand a certain number of long-form registrations and short-form registrations of all or part of their registrable securities. Demand registrations may be requested by the 2015 principal shareholders holding five million shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reorganizations and similar events) of registrable securities. No registration statement is required to be filed within 180 days of the final prospectus used in an initial public offering.

We are not required to effectuate demands for any long-form or short-form registration unless the expected gross proceeds from the registration are $60.0 million or more. We are not required to effectuate more than eight demand registrations in total and no more than two in any calendar year, and are not required to effectuate any demand registrations following the fifth anniversary of the 2015 registration rights agreement, although the 2015 principal shareholders may request an unlimited number of non-underwritten shelf takedowns. The 2015 registration rights agreement requires us to

provide certain piggyback registration rights to certain holders of registrable securities. Under the 2015 registration rights agreement, each holder of registrable securities is required to agree to certain customary “lock-up” agreements in connection with underwritten public offerings.

Letter Agreement with BlueMountain Capital Management LLC. On December 20, 2017, in connection with its entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company and certain affiliates of, and the BlueMountain Holders entered into a Prepayment Letter Agreement, regarding the Note and Guarantee Agreement and the senior notes.

The Prepayment Letter Agreement provides that (i) the prepayment premium that would otherwise be payable upon a prepayment of the principal amount of the senior notes prior to May 13, 2019, will be reduced to an agreed premium equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the senior notes prepaid to the BlueMountain Holders at such time, and (ii) the Company will prepay the entire principal amount of the senior notes, along with all accrued interest and any other amounts owing in respect of the senior notes (including the 1.0% prepayment premium) contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger. The Prepayment Letter Agreement also provides for a shorter notice period for the delivery of a prepayment notice by the Company to the BlueMountain Holders prior to the prepayment of the senior notes, and for a “per diem” mechanism to calculate the additional required interest in the event that prepayment of the senior notes is effected after the anticipated prepayment date.

As of December 31, 2017, we employed all of our VLCC and Suezmax vessels in Navig8 Group commercial crude tanker pools, including the VL8 Pool and the Suez8 Pool. Our VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax owning subsidiaries have entered into pool agreements regarding the deployment of our vessels into the VL8 Pool, the Suez8 Pool and V8 Pool, respectively. VL8 Pool Inc. acts as the time charterer of the pool vessels in the VL8 Pool, and V8 Pool Inc. acts as the time charterer of the pool vessels in the Suez8 Pool and the V8 Pool, and in each case will enter the pool vessels into employment contracts such as voyage charters. VL8 Pool Inc. and V8 Pool Inc. allocate the revenue of VL8 Pool, Suez8 Pool and V8 Pool vessels, as applicable, between all the pool participants based on pool results and a pre-determined allocation method, as more fully described below. We refer to the VL8 Pool, the Suez8 Pool and the V8 Pool as the “Navig8 pools.” On March 21, 2018, the Company delivered notices to the Navig8 pools, on behalf of the relevant ship owning subsidiaries, of the termination of the pool agreements with respect to the following vessels - Gener8 Atlas, Gener8 Hercules, Gener8 Athena, Gener8 Strength, Gener8 Apollo, Gener8 Supreme, Gener8 Ares, Gener8 Hera, Gener8 Success, Gener8 Nautilus, Gener8 Andriotis, Gener8 Constantine, Gener8 Perseus, Gener8 Macedon, Gener8 Chiotis, Gener8 Oceanus, Gener8 Miltiades, Gener8 Hector Gener8 Ethos, Gener8 Neptune and Gener8 Spartiate, Gener8 Maniate, Gener8 St. Nikolas, Gener8 George T, Gener8 Kara G and Gener8 Harriet G.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

On June 24, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a policy and procedures for review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and “related persons” (generally, directors and executive officers, director nominees, shareholders owning five percent or greater of our outstanding stock and immediate family members of the foregoing). The policy covers any related person transaction that meets the minimum threshold for disclosure in the proxy statement under the relevant SEC rules (generally, transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest) and will be applied to any such transactions proposed after its adoption.

Related person transactions must be approved by the Board or by a committee of the Board consisting solely of independent directors, who will approve the transaction only if they determine that it is in the best interests of the Company. In considering the transaction, the Board or committee will consider all relevant factors, including as applicable (i) the related person’s interest in the transaction; (ii) the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction; (iii) the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss; (iv) the Company’s business rationale for entering into the transaction; (v) the alternatives to entering into a related person transaction; (vi) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party; (vii) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; (viii) the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company; and (ix) any other information regarding the transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction. If a director is involved in the transaction, he or she will not cast a vote regarding the transaction.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Fees to Independent Auditors for Fiscal 2017 and 2016

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 and fees billed and unbilled for audit-related services, tax services and all other services rendered by Deloitte & Touche for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016.

In the above table, in accordance with the SEC’s definitions and rules, “audit fees” are fees for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements included in its Form 10-K and review of financial statements included in its Form 10-Qs and for services that are normally provided by the auditor in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. “Audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and include services provided in 2017 in connection with the Company’s proposed merger with Euronav, services provided in 2016 associated with assistance in responding to a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3, services provided in 2016 associated with a statutory audit of a foreign subsidiary, and services provided in 2016 associated with the initial public offering of our common stock; and “tax fees” are fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning and include services associated with a foreign subsidiary in 2016.

Pre-Approval Policy for Services Performed by Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee has responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all permissible services to be performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has adopted an auditor pre-approval policy which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which pre-approval may be given for services performed by the independent auditor. Under the policy, the Committee must give prior approval for any amount or type of service within four categories: audit, audit-related, tax services or, to the extent permitted by law, other services that the independent auditor provides. Prior to the annual engagement, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for independent auditor services within these four categories at maximum pre-approved fee levels. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original preapproval and, in those instances, such service will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. For any pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, whether the auditor is best positioned to provide the most cost effective and efficient service and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members authority to approve a request for pre-approval provided the member reports any approval so given to the Audit Committee.
