Whole Earth Brands Inc

We were incorporated on April 23, 2004 under the name “Adventure Holdings S.A.” pursuant to the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to serve as the parent holding company of our ship-owning entities. On April 27, 2005, we changed our name to “FreeSeas Inc.”

We became a public reporting company on December 15, 2005, when we completed a merger with Trinity Partners Acquisition Company Inc., or Trinity, a blank check company formed to serve as a vehicle to complete a business combination with an operating business, in which we were the surviving corporation. At the time of the merger we owned three drybulk carriers. We currently own six vessels, each of which is owned through a separate wholly owned subsidiary.

Our common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “FREE”.

Our principal executive offices are located at 10, Eleftheriou Venizelou Street (Panepistimiou Ave.), 10671, Athens, Greece and our telephone number is 011-30-210-452-8770.

Grow and optimize our fleet. We aim to grow our fleet in order to take advantage of the cyclical downturn of the dry-bulk market ahead of its expected cyclical improvement. A larger and well diversified fleet in terms of operational deployment is expected to provide optimal return on capital. We are focused on deploying our capital to optimize return on capital including through the disposal of assets that require disproportionate amounts of capital for maintenance or upgrading to continue generating income, and replace them with assets that have technical and commercial specifications allowing them to immediately yield income to the bottom line.

Focus on Handysize and Handymax carriers with a view to expanding into other asset classes. Our existing fleet of drybulk carriers consists of Handysize and Handymax vessels. Given the relatively low number of Handysize drybulk vessels on order, and a relatively great number of Handysize drybulk vessels at an age of 20 years or older, we believe there will be continued demand for such vessels. Handysize vessels are typically shallow-drafted and equipped with onboard cranes. This makes them more versatile and able to access a wider range of loading and discharging ports than larger ships that are unable to service many ports due to their size or the lack of local port infrastructure. Many countries in the Asia Pacific region, including China, as well as countries in Africa and South America, have shallow ports. We believe that our vessels, and any Handysize or Handymax that we may acquire, should enable us to transport a wider variety of cargoes and to pursue a greater number of chartering opportunities than if we owned larger drybulk vessels. Handysize vessels have also historically achieved greater charter rate stability than larger drybulk vessels. The recent market downturn has particularly affected the value of larger asset classes creating the potential for relatively greater capital appreciation and operational leverage as the market recovers. We shall also consider pursuing investments in larger asset classes in order to take advantage of all available opportunities as they arise.


Build on our experience in operating older vessels. Our experience in managing older vessels provides us with the flexibility to make investments in older vessels, a segment where little or no financing is available from traditional capital sources, and often superior return on capital can be achieved compared to high capital modern vessels.

Build upon our strategic relationships. We intend to continue to build upon our extensive experience and relationships with ship brokers, financial institutions, industrial partners and commodity traders. We use these relationships to identify chartering and acquisition opportunities and gain access to sources of additional financing, industry contacts and market intelligence. In addition, our relationships and experience with insurers and technical service providers, spares suppliers and repair shipyards position us optimally for the competitive operation of a versatile fleet with heavy employment commitments and demanding technical requirements.
