(NASDAQ: CTRM), ("Castor" or the "Company"), a diversified global shipping company, announced today that, the distribution to its shareholders of common shares in its newly formed subsidiary Toro Corp. ("Toro") as part of the spin-off announced on November 16, 2022, will be extended from December 15, 2022.

The distribution and spin-off remain subject to (among other things) such effectiveness and approval. There can be no assurance that the distribution or the spin-off will occur or, if they do occur, their terms or timing. About Castor Maritime Inc.
