Performance Shipping Inc.

Since June 2016, we have effected eight reverse stock splits of our common shares, each of which was approved by our board of directors and by our shareholders at an annual or special meeting of such shareholders. There were no changes to the trading symbol, number of authorized shares, or par value of our common shares in connection with any of the reverse stock splits. All share amounts in this report, not including amounts incorporated by reference, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect these reverse stock splits. If we are required to conduct a reverse stock split in the future to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, the market price of our common shares may be negatively affected. The issuance of common shares in future offerings may trigger anti-dilution provisions in our outstanding convertible securities and warrants and affect the interests of our common shareholders. The July 2022 Warrants, August 2022 Warrants, and Series C Preferred Shares contain anti-dilution provisions that have been triggered by our subsequent issuance of securities, and those of the Series C Preferred Shares, our Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants and any other securities we issue in the future containing similar anti-dilution provisions could be further triggered by future issuances of common shares or securities convertible into common shares, depending on the offering price of equity issuances, the conversion price or formula of convertible shares, or the exercise price or formula of warrants.
