proxy statement regulatory
"The Company's proxy statement and proxy card are being mailed to shareholders on or about May 13, 2026"
A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.
NEAR Protocol blockchain technical
"a digital asset treasury strategy anchored in the NEAR Protocol blockchain"
institutional staking financial
"generating yield through institutional staking, and offering investors regulated public market exposure"
Institutional staking is the practice where professional investors, funds or custodians lock or delegate digital tokens to a blockchain’s proof-of-stake system to earn network rewards and help validate transactions. It matters to investors because it can deliver steady, bond-like returns while changing a token’s liquidity and adding custody and regulatory considerations; institutions act like a bank managing term deposits for large holders who don’t want to run the technical systems themselves.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
digital assets financial
"the highly volatile nature of the price of NEAR Protocol tokens and other digital assets"
Digital assets are electronic files or representations of value stored electronically, such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, or digital art. They matter to investors because they can be bought, sold, and used for transactions much like physical assets, but exist entirely in digital form, offering new opportunities for investment and financial innovation.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary
statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements.
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions,
including, without limitation, Company management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company's control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or
accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, the highly volatile nature of the price of NEAR Protocol tokens
and other digital assets, changes in demand for dry bulk and petroleum products shipping capacity, changes in the Company's operating expenses, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities with respect to
both maritime and digital asset activities, significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding digital assets generally, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political
conditions, including risks associated with the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, including the escalation of the conflict in the Middle
East, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires, and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
