Ad-hoc announcement  pursuant to Section 15 of the German Securities
Trading Act (WpHG)

Agreement with bank consortium on the extension of the repayment rates 

Marenave Schiffahrts AG ("Marenave" or "Company") has today reached an
agreement with the bank consortium financing Marenave's eight product
tanker and container shipping companies to extend the repayment structure
agreed in the restructuring agreement dated 24 April 2013 and its
amendments (the "Restructuring Agreement") until 30 June 2016.

The Restructuring Agreement provided for a variable repayment structure of
the loans granted to the shipping companies by the bank consortium based -
subject to certain minimum repayments and minimum liquidity limits - on the
respective operative cash-flows of the eight shipping companies until the
end of 2015. This structure effectively led to significantly reduced
repayment obligations of the respective shipping companies (so-called
minimum repayment structure). In return, the Restructuring Agreement
provided for higher, fixed quarterly repayment rates as of 2016 in order to
compensate the repayment arrears accrued until the end of 2015 over the
remaining period of the respective loans.

With today's agreement the minimum repayment structure initially agreed in
the Restructuring Agreement to run until the end of 2015 has been extended
until 30 June 2016 for the time being. By then at the latest, a sustainable
restructuring concept that includes the entire financing of the
Marenave-group should be finalized on the basis of an IDW-S6-restructuring
opinion. The repayment obligations of the shipping companies for the first
half of 2016 are thus being reduced by approx. USD 10.3 in the aggregate.
