“Company") (AIM: GLBS), the owner and operator of Handymax and Panamax dry
bulk vessels, announces that it has delivered the Handymax vessels "Coral Globe"

third parties.
George Karageorgiou, Chief Executive of Globus, commented: “We have today
concluded the sale of the last two of our vessels built in the mid-1990s. Taking
advantage of the cash on our balance sheet and the available bank facilities, we will
seek to acquire younger assets that will generate value for our shareholders. We
remain focused in our efforts to grow the Company.”

Globus has today a very healthy balance sheet as our cash balances today exceed
