Insights

Okeanis Eco Tankers prices a primary USD 130m equity raise via registered direct.

Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp. has priced a registered direct offering of new common shares with gross proceeds of USD 130 million under its effective Form F-3 shelf. The transaction uses a prospectus supplement dated January 21, 2026 and is expected to close on or about January 23, 2026, subject to customary conditions. Proceeds are raised by the company itself rather than selling shareholders.

Clarksons Securities AS, Fearnley Securities AS and Pareto Securities AS act as placement agents under a Norwegian-law engagement letter. They receive a cash fee of 3.75% of gross proceeds, with potential discretionary fees up to an additional 0.75%, excluding purchases by certain affiliates, plus reimbursed expenses capped at $20,000 for non-legal transaction costs. This structure is typical for a marketed equity raise.

The engagement letter notes that the intended equity raise funds acquisitions of additional tanker vessels and general corporate purposes, aligning the capital raise with fleet expansion. Actual impact on the company’s balance sheet, leverage and per-share metrics will depend on final closing, exact pricing and the number of shares issued, which are not detailed in this excerpt.
