On December 10, 2018, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (“OSG”) announced via press release that it would exercise its options to extend the charter agreements with American Shipping Company (“AMSC”) for nine of its handysize product carriers. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item by reference.
Under the charter agreements with AMSC, OSG has options to extend for additional one-, three- or five-year terms. The charter agreements were to expire on December 11, 2019 if not extended. OSG declared its extensions of nine of the charter agreements - five of the vessels were extended for additional three-year terms ending December 2022 and four of the vessels were extended for additional one-year terms ending December 2020. The charter agreements provide that each one-year option is only usable once, while the three- and five-year options are available indefinitely. The lease payments for the charters-in are fixed throughout the option periods, and the options are on a vessel-by-vessel basis and can be exercised individually.
