OceanPal Inc. (NASDAQ:SVRN) (the "Company"), announced today that its board of directors has determined to effect a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company's common shares, par value $0.01 per share. The Company's shareholders had approved the reverse stock split at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders held on May 20, 2025.

The reverse stock split will take effect, and the Company's common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on NASDAQ, as of the opening of trading on March 30, 2026, under the existing trading symbol "SVRN". The CUSIP number of Y6430L178 will be assigned to the Company's common shares when the reverse stock split becomes effective.

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every twenty of the Company's issued common shares will be combined into one issued common share, without any change to the par value per share and without any change in the total number of authorized common shares. The number of outstanding common shares will be reduced from approximately 37,517,290 shares to approximately 1,875,864 shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fraction of a common share of the Company will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to that fraction of a share to which the shareholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of the Company's common shares on NASDAQ on March 27, 2026.

Shareholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in their accounts on or after March 30, 2026. Such beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, or nominee for more information.

The Board approved the reverse stock split in connection with the Company's efforts to restore compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As previously disclosed, the Company received a written determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of NASDAQ pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), and the Company has timely requested a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel (the "Panel") pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Company intends to present the reverse stock split as a component of its compliance plan in connection with its hearing before the Panel.
