BUSINESS OVERVIEW

In the weeks preceding the publication of the Prospectus, the current shareholders of the Palm Group, namely the Frendo family, underwent a corporate restructuring exercise which today forms the Endo Group, as separate and distinct from the Palm Group. The object of the Endo Tankers Sub-Group is to acquire, finance, manage and charter commercial vessels.

This restructuring process primarily involved the incorporation of the parent company of the Endo Group, Endo Ventures Ltd, which owns 98% of the Issuer and fully owns Endo Tankers Ltd. The latter company fully owns Intership Management Limited, Endo One Maritime Ltd, Endo Two Maritime Ltd and Endo Three Maritime Ltd.

The founders and ultimate beneficial owners of the Group enjoy long-standing experience in the shipping industry, bunkering and the transportation of petroleum products, through the Palm Group.

To this end, over recent years the Palm Group acquired, managed and chartered a number of vessels for its bunkering operations and the transportation of petroleum products. From 2004 to 2013, the Palm Group, together with third parties, owned a number of vessels. In 2014, in virtue of the incorporation of International Fuel Suppliers Limited, the Palm Group became directly involved in the chartering of vessels for the provision of fuels and bunkering services. Moreover, in 2016 the Palm Group acquired the vessel Mumtaz, an oil tanker used for the transportation of petroleum products and for bunkering operations both in Maltese territorial waters and international waters.
