Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. announced that its Chairman and CEO, Stamatis Tsantanis, has purchased 100,000 shares at an average price of $5.32, or approximately $532,000 worth of SHIP common stock, in the open market. In addition, the Company’s CFO, Stavros Gyftakis, has purchased 18,510 shares at an average price of $5.40, or approximately $100,000 worth of SHIP common stock, in the open market.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Within two weeks after the announcement of our year-end results and my intention to purchase Seanergy shares in the open market, I have exceeded 50% of the targeted amount. This reflects our ongoing confidence in the Company and its ability to increase long-term shareholder value. Such confidence is further attested by the fact that I have never sold any of my SHIP common shares.
“With Capesize fleet growth at historically low levels and with demand for dry bulk commodities rebounding gradually, we believe there is a massive opportunity in front of us.
“We consider Seanergy to be very well positioned to benefit from the widely anticipated rebound in the sector and we remain laser-focused on returning capital to our shareholders while continuing to grow the Company in a sustainable manner.”
