Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its subsidiary, Baltic Trading Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and as of March 31, 2014, is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below. As of March 31, 2014, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Genco Management (USA) Limited.

On April 21, 2014, GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors plan to continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors seek to implement a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepack Plan”) for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014 (the “Support Agreement”).

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to each of the following agreements or instruments:

· the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions named therein as lenders, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto, relating to approximately $1,055,912 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “2007 Credit Facility”);

· the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Aquitane Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschaft, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as mandated lead arrangers, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as swap providers, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as agent for the lenders and the assignee, relating to approximately $175,718 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$253 Million Term Loan Facility”);

· the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Ocean Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as agent and security trustee, relating to approximately $73,561 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”);

· the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture relating to $125,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding of the Company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due August 15, 2015 (the “Indenture”);

· the outstanding interest rate swap with DnB NOR Bank, relating to a liability position of $5,747 as of March 31, 2014.

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, all indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Indenture was accelerated and became due and payable, and indebtedness under the other agreements and instruments described above can be accelerated and become due and payable upon notice to the Company, subject to an automatic stay of any action to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Company or the other Debtors and the application of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company is required to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification

Table of Contents

(“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, effective on April 21, 2014, which is applicable to companies in Chapter 11, which generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as Reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2014. The balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. The Company will evaluate creditors’ claims for other claims that may also have priority over unsecured creditors. Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts as a result of the plan or reorganization.

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of GS&T, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Baltic Trading, a subsidiary in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interests and exercises control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 10-K”). The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Vessels, net

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $34,160 and $32,739, respectively.

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the estimated scrap value of $245 per lightweight ton (“lwt”) times the weight of the ship in lwt’s.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an accrual of $579 and $536, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in net gains of $66 and $364 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market, in vessel pools or on spot market-related time charters. The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the noncontrolling interest held an 88.95% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 34.92% of the voting power.

Income taxes

Pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of the services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.

Total revenue earned for these services during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,855 and $1,490, respectively, of which $1,045 and $680, respectively, eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $886 associated with these activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $400 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $592 associated with these activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This resulted in income tax expense of $224 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $567. Baltic Trading’s estimated United States income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $12. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Baltic Trading did not earn any United States source income, and therefore, there was no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has two reportable operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading. Both GS&T and Baltic Trading are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T seeks to deploy its vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market and Baltic Trading seeks to deploy its vessel charters in the spot market, which represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages, or employing vessels on spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools. Segment results are evaluated based on net (loss) income. The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of total voyage revenue from external (third party) customers for the Company’s two operating segments to total consolidated voyage revenue from external customers for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

6 - INVESTMENTS

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products. These investments are designated as Available For Sale (“AFS”) and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held 16,335,100 shares of Jinhui capital stock which is recorded at its fair value of $63,286 and $77,488, respectively, based on the last closing price during each respective quarter on March 31, 2014 and December 30, 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

The unrealized gain (losses) on the Jinhui capital stock and KLC stock are a component of AOCI since these investments are designated as AFS securities.

Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI.

7 — NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic net loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 20 — Nonvested Stock Awards), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. Of the 880,465 nonvested shares outstanding at March 31, 2014 (refer to Note 20 — Nonvested Stock Awards), all are anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013

Common shares outstanding, basic:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic	43,568,942	43,161,510

2007 Credit Facility

On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into the 2007 Credit Facility with DnB NOR Bank ASA. The maximum amount that may be borrowed under the 2007 Credit Facility at March 31, 2014 is $1,055,912. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has utilized its maximum borrowing capacity under the 2007 Credit Facility.

In 2009, the Company obtained a waiver of the collateral maintenance covenant under this facility until the Company can represent that it is in compliance with all of its financial covenants and is otherwise able to pay a dividend and purchase or redeem shares of common stock under the terms of the facility in effect before the waiver. The Company’s cash dividends and share repurchases have been suspended until the collateral maintenance financial covenant can be satisfied.

The maximum leverage ratio covenant and minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenants were waived for the periods ending on and including December 31, 2013 pursuant to the August 1, 2012 agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the agreements for the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below) (the “August 2012 Agreements”).

The gross interest-bearing debt to total capital covenant ended during the period ending on and including December 31, 2013 pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements. This covenant limits the ratio of the Company’s interest-bearing indebtedness to the sum of its interest-bearing indebtedness and its consolidated net worth in accordance with GAAP to 62.5% on the last day of any fiscal quarter during the waiver period.

Additionally, pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements, the total applicable margin over LIBOR payable on the principal amount of debt outstanding increased from 2.0% to 3.0% per annum. The minimum cash balance required was also increased from $500 to $750 per vessel mortgaged under this facility pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements.

Pursuant to the amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility which was entered into on December 21, 2011, the Company was subject to a facility fee of 2.0% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the loans outstanding, payable quarterly in arrears, which was subject to a reduction to 1.0% if the Company consummated an equity offering resulting in an aggregate amount of $50,000 of gross proceeds. On February 28, 2012, the Company completed an equity offering of 7,500,000 shares which resulted in gross proceeds of $53,250. As such, effective February 28, 2012, the facility fee was reduced to 1.0%.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants under its 2007 Credit Facility, as amended, and the debt outstanding under this facility of $1,055,912 has been classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At March 31, 2014, there were no letters of credit issued under the 2007 Credit Facility.

· any related defaults or events of default resulting from the failure to give notice with respect to any of the foregoing.

The Relief Agreement for our 2007 Credit Facility provided that the agent and consenting lenders would forbear to exercise their rights and remedies through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 with respect to the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements other than those described above or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreement. The Relief Agreements for our other two Credit Facilities provided that the agent and lenders waived through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreements. Notwithstanding such waivers and forbearances, the fact that we did not make the scheduled amortization payment on March 31, 2014 constituted an event of default under our currently outstanding interest rate swap. In addition, under the indenture and supplemental indenture (the “Indenture”) governing our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes issued on July 27, 2010 (the “2010 Notes”), our failure to make such payment would constitute an event of default under the Indenture if we fail to cure such default within 30 days after notice from the trustee under the Indenture.

On April 1, 2014, we entered into new agreements with the other parties to the Relief Agreements that extended the expiration of the forbearances and waivers under the Relief Agreements from 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on April 21, 2014. Also, the forbearances and waivers would have terminated if a definitive agreement for our restructuring was not effective by 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2014. We avoided this termination through our entry into the Support Agreement. Such new agreements are otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relief Agreements.

2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility

On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into a $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch (as amended, the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”). An amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was entered into by Baltic Trading effective November 30, 2010. Among other things, this amendment increased the commitment amount of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility from $100,000 to $150,000. An additional amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was entered into by Baltic Trading effective August 29, 2013 (the “August 2013 Amendement”). Among other things, the August 2013 Amendment implements the following modifications to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility:

· The requirement that certain additional vessels acquired by Baltic Trading be mortgaged as collateral under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was eliminated.

· Restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness by Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries were amended to apply only to those subsidiaries acting as guarantors under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

· The total commitment under this facility was reduced to $110,000 and will be further reduced in three consecutive semi-annual reductions of $5,000 commencing on May 30, 2015.

· Borrowings bear interest at an applicable margin over LIBOR of 3.00% per annum if the ratio of the maximum facility amount of the aggregate appraised value of vessels mortgaged under the facility is 55% or less, measured quarterly; otherwise, the applicable margin is 3.35% per annum.

· Financial covenants corresponding to the liquidity and leverage under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below) have been incorporated into the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2014, $7,750 remained available under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility as the total commitment was reduced to $110,000 on August 29, 2013. The total available working capital borrowings of $25,000 are subject to the total remaining availability under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, therefore, only $7,750 is available for working capital purposes as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company believes Baltic Trading is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility may not be reborrowed.

Borrowings under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 3.35% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.75% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the credit facility, which began accruing on December 3, 2013 and ended on December 23, 2013, the date which the entire $44,000 was borrowed. Borrowings are to be repaid in 23 quarterly installments of $688 each commencing three months after the last drawdown date, or March 24, 2014, and a final payment of $28,188 due on the maturity date.

Borrowings under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility are to be secured by liens on the Company’s vessels to be financed or refinanced with borrowings under the facility, namely the Baltic Tiger and the Baltic Lion, and other related assets. Upon the prepayment of $18,000 plus any additional amounts necessary to maintain compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant, Baltic Trading may have the lien on the Baltic Tiger released.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company believes Baltic Trading is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility.

Change of Control

If the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading were to decrease to less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and Class B Stock of Baltic Trading, the outstanding Baltic Trading Class B Stock held by the Company would automatically convert into common stock, and the voting power held by the Company in Baltic Trading would likewise decrease to less than 30%. This would result in a change of control as defined under the Baltic Trading 2010 Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, and would therefore constitute an event of default. Additionally, a change of control constituting an event of default under Baltic Trading’s credit facilities would also occur if any party other than the Company or certain other permitted holders beneficially owns more than 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting or economic equity interests, which may occur if a party were deemed to control Genco. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for discussion of the Company’s current economic status.

Interest payable

As required under the August 2012 Agreements, lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility will receive a fee equal to 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding following such prepayment, or $13,199, on the earlier date of the maturity date of this facility or the date on which all obligations under this facility have been paid in full. The $13,199 has been recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 as a current liability, consistent with the classification of the principal amount of the 2007 Credit Facility.

11 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had one and four interest rate swap agreements outstanding, respectively, with DnB NOR Bank to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable interest rates related to the Company’s 2007 Credit Facility.

The differentials to be paid or received for these swap agreements are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. The Company utilized cash flow hedge accounting for these swaps through March 31, 2014, whereby the effective portion of the change in the value of the swaps is reflected as a component of AOCI. The ineffective portion is recognized as other expense, which is a component of other (expense) income. On March 31, 2014, the cash flow hedge accounting on the remaining swap agreement was discontinued. After March 31, 2014, changes in the valuation of the swap agreement will be reflected as a component of other (expense) income.

Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap. As of March 31, 2014, the Company is in default under covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. The default under the 2007 Credit Facility requires the Company to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore the Company no longer qualifies for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting has been terminated effective March 31, 2014. As such, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has classified the liability related to this interest rate swap as a current liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. If the swap agreement is at any time settled, the Company will be required to release any remaining AOCI associated with the swap agreement to interest expense.

13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 which are required to be disclosed at fair value, but not recorded at fair value, are noted below.

	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	92,408	$	92,408	$	122,722	$	122,722
Restricted cash	10,275		10,275		10,150		10,150
Floating rate debt	1,472,004		See Below		1,480,064		See Below
2010 Notes	117,180		102,116		115,881		63,438

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on management’s estimate utilizing rates the Company believes it would be able to obtain for these credit facilities. However, a portion of the floating rate debt of the 2007 Credit Facility was traded in a private transaction for an amount that is not determinable by the Company, which Management believes was lower than the debt’s current carrying value. The fair value of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility is based on rates Baltic Trading has recently obtained pursuant to the amendment to the existing 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility on August 29, 2013. The fair value of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities on August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of floating rate debt under the credit facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans, except for the 2007 Credit Facility. The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value based on recent transactions of the 2010 Notes at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the swap counterparty and the Company. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses), approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

· Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

	March 31, 2014
	Total			Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Investments	$		63,355	$		63,355	$		—
Derivative instruments — liability position	5,747			—			5,747

	December 31, 2013
	Total			Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Investments	$	77,570		$	77,570		$	—
Derivative instruments — liability position	6,975			—			6,975

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui, which is classified as a long-term investment. The stock of Jinhui is publicly traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item. The Company also holds an investment in the stock of KLC, which is classified as a long-term investment. The stock of KLC is publicly traded on the Korea Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item. The Company’s only interest rate derivative instrument is a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value this derivative, using observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate swap agreements. ASC 820-10 states that the fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position have also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments. This credit valuation adjustment did not have a material impact on the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transaction amongst third parties. The 2010 Notes are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market; however, they are not considered to be actively traded. As such, the 2010 Notes are considered to be a Level 2 item. The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

18 - REVENUE FROM TIME CHARTERS

Total voyage revenue earned on time charters, including revenue earned in vessel pools and spot market-related time charters, as well as the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $63,180 and $39,676, respectively. There was no profit sharing revenue earned during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Future minimum time charter revenue, based on vessels committed to noncancelable time charter contracts as of May 8, 2014, is expected to be $12,596 for the remainder of 2014, assuming off-hire due to any scheduled drydocking and that no additional off-hire time is incurred. For drydockings, the Company assumes twenty days of offhire. Future minimum revenue excludes revenue earned for the vessels currently in pool arrangements and vessels that are currently on or will be on spot market-related time charters, as spot rates cannot be estimated, as well as profit sharing revenue.

19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006. On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net rent expense of $0 and $109, respectively, was recorded representing the present value of the Company’s estimating remaining rent expense for the duration of the lease after taking into account estimated future sublease income based on the sublease agreement entered into effective November 1, 2013. The current lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $168 and $176, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in Current portion of lease obligations. The long-term lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $708 and $744, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in Long-term lease obligations.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $388 for the remainder of 2014, $518 for 2015, $529 for 2016, $550 annually for 2017 and 2018 and a total of $1,421 for the remaining term of the lease. The rental payments will be offset by the contract sublease income, as follows: $255 for 2014; $340 annually for 2015 through 2016, $347 for 2017, $380 for 2018 and a total of $983 for the remaining term of the sublease.

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York. The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term. Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space. The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that will commence immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement. As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 will be $130. The Company had a long-term lease obligation at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $2,514 and $2,370, respectively. Rent expense pertaining to this lease for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $389 during both periods.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $736 for the remainder of 2014, $1,037 for 2015, $1,076 annually for 2016 and 2017, $916 for 2018 and a total of $15,590 for the remaining term of the lease.

As of March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost of $1,975 related to nonvested stock will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.92 years.

On March 13, 2014, Baltic Trading’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Baltic Trading Limited 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Baltic Trading Plan”) that increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for awards from 2,000,000 to 6,000,000 shares. Additionally, on April 9, 2014, at Baltic Trading’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Baltic Trading’s shareholders approved the amendment to the Baltic Trading Plan.

The following table presents a summary of Baltic Trading’s nonvested stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2014 under the Baltic Trading Plan:

	Number of Baltic Trading Common Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Price

Outstanding at March 31, 2014	1,264,929		$	5.29

The total fair value of shares that vested under the Baltic Trading Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $774 and $454, respectively. The total fair value is calculated as the number of shares vested during the period multiplied by the fair value on the vesting date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized nonvested stock amortization expense for the Baltic Trading Plan, which is included in general, administrative and management fees, as follows:

21 - SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Since the inception of its share repurchase program through March 31, 2014, the Company has repurchased and retired 278,300 shares of its common stock for $11,500. Currently, the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility require the Company to suspend all share repurchases until the Company can represent that it is in a position to again satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant. No share repurchases were made during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

22 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Note 1 — General Information for information concerning the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 28, 2014, the Genco Auvergne was arrested due to a disputed claim with the charterer of one of the Company’s other vessels, namely the Genco Ardennes. In order for the Company to release the Genco Auvergne from its arrest, the Company entered into a cash collateralized $900 bank guarantee with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (the “SEB Bank Guarantee”) on April 3, 2014. The vessel has since been released from its arrest and the bank guarantee will remain in an escrow account until the arbitration related to this case is completed. The SEB Bank Guarantee resulted in additional indebtedness by the Company. As the Company is currently in default under the covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on a scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014, on April 3, 2014 the Company received a consent from the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility to incur this additional indebtedness. Also, under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility for which the Genco Auvergne is collateralized, the Company may not incur additional indebtedness related to its collateralized vessels under this facility. The Company also received a consent from the lenders under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility on April 3, 2014 in order to enter the SEB Bank Guarantee.

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows besides those noted above.

23 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 5, 2014, Baltic Trading declared a dividend of $0.01 per share to be paid on or about May 27, 2014 to shareholders of record as of May 20, 2014. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be approximately $576, of which approximately $512 will be paid to minority shareholders, which Baltic Trading anticipates will be funded from cash on hand at the time payment is to be made.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

General

We are a Marshall Islands company that transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Excluding vessels of Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”), our fleet currently consists of nine Capesize, eight Panamax, 17 Supramax, six Handymax and 13 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 3,810,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet is currently approximately 9.0 years, as compared to the average age for the world fleet of approximately 9 years for the drybulk shipping segments in which we compete. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable charterers, including Cargill International S.A., Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., Swissmarine Services S.A. and Clipper Logger Pool, in which Clipper Group acts as the pool manager. The

Table of Contents

majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter and spot market-related time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between May 2014 and November 2015.

In addition, Baltic Trading’s fleet currently consists of four Capesize, four Supramax and five Handysize drybulk carriers with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 1,095,000 dwt. After the expected delivery of four Ultramax newbuilding vessels that Baltic Trading has agreed to acquire, Baltic Trading will own a fleet of 17 drybulk vessels, consisting of four Capesize, four Ultramax, four Supramax and five Handysize drybulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of approximately 1,350,000 dwt.

See pages 36 - 40 for a table of all vessels that have been or are expected to be delivered to us, including Baltic Trading’s vessels.

Baltic Trading, formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed its initial public offering, or IPO, on March 15, 2010. On May 28, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 6,419,217 shares of common stock at an offering price of $3.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $21.6 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. Additionally, on September 25, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 13,800,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $59.5 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. Lastly, on November 18, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 12,650,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $55.1 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. As a result of Baltic Trading’s equity offerings completed on May 28, 2013, September 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, we were issued 128,383, 276,000 and 253,000 shares, respectively, of Class B stock, which represents 2% of the number of common shares issued. As of March 31, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents an 11.05% ownership interest in Baltic Trading at March 31, 2014 and 65.08% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock. Baltic Trading is consolidated as we control a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading. Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition includes the results of Baltic Trading.

We entered into a long-term management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Baltic Trading pursuant to which we apply our expertise and experience in the drybulk industry to provide Baltic Trading with commercial, technical, administrative and strategic services. The Management Agreement is for an initial term of approximately 15 years and will automatically renew for additional five-year periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Baltic Trading will pay us for the services we provide it as well as reimburse us for our costs and expenses incurred in providing certain of these services. Management fee income we earn from the Management Agreement net of any allocated shared expenses, such as salary, office expenses and other general and administrative fees, will be taxable to us. Upon consolidation with Baltic Trading, any management fee income earned is eliminated for financial reporting purposes. Baltic Trading has the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Manager Change of Control (as defined in the Management Agreement), without making a termination payment. Some of these may occur as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Prepack Plan, including the consummation of any transaction that results in (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than Peter Georgiopoulos or any of his affiliates, becoming the beneficial owner of 25% of the Company’s voting securities or (ii) the Company’s stock ceasing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other internationally recognized stock exchange. Therefore, Baltic Trading may have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, although Baltic Trading may be prevented or delayed from doing so because of the effect of applicable bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

On October 31, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase two Capesize drybulk vessels from affiliates of SK Shipping Co. Ltd. for an aggregate purchase price of $103.0 million. The Baltic Lion, a 2012-built Capesize drybulk vessel, was delivered on December 27, 2013, and the Baltic Tiger, a 2011-built Capesize vessel, was delivered on November 26, 2013. Baltic Trading funded a portion of the purchase price of the vessels using proceeds from its common stock offering completed on September 25, 2013. For the remainder of the purchase price, Baltic Trading drew down $44.0 million under its secured loan agreement with DVB Bank SE (the “Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility”). Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this credit facility.

On November 13, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase up to four 64,000 dwt Ultramax newbuilding drybulk carriers from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for a purchase of $28.0 million per vessel, or up to $112.0 million in the aggregate. Baltic Trading has agreed to purchase two such vessels, to be renamed the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and obtained an option to purchase up to two additional such vessels for the same purchase price, which Baltic Trading exercised on January 8, 2014. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Mantis and the Baltic Scorpion. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. The Baltic Scorpion and the Baltic Mantis are expected to be delivered to us during the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand and future cash flow from operations as well as commercial bank debt to fully finance the acquisition of these four Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels.

Our management team and our other employees are responsible for the commercial and strategic management of our fleet. Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types of charters, such as time charters, voyage charters and spot market-related time charters, and monitoring the performance of our vessels under their charters. Strategic management includes locating, purchasing, financing and selling vessels. We currently contract with three independent technical managers to provide technical management of our fleet at a lower cost than we believe would be possible in-house. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Members of our New York City-based management team oversee the activities of our independent technical managers.

We hold an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.

We provide technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”) under an agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and will be provided for an initial term of one year. MEP has the right to cancel provision of services on 60 days’ notice with payment of a one-year termination fee upon a change of our control. We may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days’ notice. Peter C. Georgiopoulos, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, controls and has a minority interest in MEP. This arrangement was approved by an independent committee of our Board of Directors.

Definitions

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

(1) Ownership days. We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(2) Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels between time charters. Companies in the shipping industry generally use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(3) Operating days. We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(4) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning.

(5) TCE rates. We define TCE rates as net voyage revenue (voyage revenues less voyage expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts.

Total TCE rate	$	10,753	$	6,963

(6) Daily vessel operating expenses. We define daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.

(1) EBITDA represents net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited plus net interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in our consolidated internal financial statements, and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company’s operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies. The foregoing definition of EBITDA differs from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the financial covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility, our $253 Million Term Loan Credit Facility, and our $100 Million Term Loan Credit Facility. Specifically, Consolidated EBITDA substitutes gross interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) for net interest expense used in our definition of EBITDA, includes adjustments for restricted stock amortization and non-cash charges for deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of other credit facilities or any non-cash losses from our investment in Jinhui, and excludes extraordinary gains or losses and gains or losses from derivative instruments used for hedging purposes or sales of assets other than inventory sold in the ordinary course of business. The following table demonstrates our calculation of EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited for each of the periods presented above:

(16) We have reached an agreement with Pioneer Navigation Ltd. on a spot market-related time charter based on 107% of the Baltic Handysize Index (BHSI), published by the Baltic Exchange, as reflected in daily reports. The minimum and maximum expiration dates of the spot market-related time charter are September 1, 2015 and December 1, 2015, respectively.

This vessel was acquired with an existing time charter with a below-market rate. For the below-market time charter, Genco allocates the purchase price between the vessel and an intangible liability for the value assigned to the below-market charter-hire. This intangible liability is amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charter, at which point the liability will be amortized to zero and the vessel will begin earning the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate.’’ For cash flow purposes, Genco will continue to receive the rate presented in the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate’’ column until the charter expires. Specifically, for the Genco Spirit, the daily amount of amortization associated with the below-market rate is approximately $200 per day over the actual cash rate earned.

Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, voyage revenues increased 59.2% to $63.2 million as compared to $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher charter rates achieved by the majority of our vessels. Included in the increase in voyage revenues was an increase in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $7.1 million due to higher charter rates achieved by its vessels as well as the increase in the size of its fleet.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet increased 54.4% to $10,753 a day for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $6,963 a day for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in TCE rates resulted from higher charter rates achieved during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period last year as well as the operation of the two additional Capesize vessels delivered to Baltic Trading during the fourth quarter of 2013, namely the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger. During the first quarter of 2014, additional iron ore capacity coupled with a mild wet season in Australia led to a 19% increase in Chinese iron ore imports. However, the impact of incremental Australian iron ore was partially offset by the seasonal drop in Brazilian iron ore cargoes, Indonesia’s mineral ore ban and the delayed onset of South American grain season. Furthermore, the continued delivery of newbuilding tonnage and the tightening of credit availability for Chinese commodity importers all contributed to negatively influence freight rates during the quarter.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had 5,940.0 and 5,580.0 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013. Fleet utilization was stable at 99.4% and 99.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, total service revenue was $0.8 million during both periods.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are typically borne by us. Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, fuel (bunker) expenses and brokerage commissions payable to unaffiliated third parties. Port and canal charges and bunker expenses primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. At the inception of a time charter, we record the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses and the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Voyage expenses increased by $0.7 million from $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in bunker consumption during

Table of Contents

the first quarter of 2014 due to additional scheduled offhire days recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as well as a decrease in net bunker gains recorded during the first quarter of 2014 due to the timing of vessels beginning and ending time charter agreements. Additionally, there was an increase in broker commissions as a result of the increase in voyage revenue earned during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet as a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013, as well as higher maintenance related expenses incurred during drydocking and higher crew expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $5,256 per vessel per day for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $4,860 per day for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was due to higher maintenance related expenses incurred during drydocking and higher crew costs. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $34 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,290 per vessel per day.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, will increase if our fleet expands. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, general, administrative and management fees were $15.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to our Chapter 11 Cases incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Management fees increased marginally due to the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2014.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, including the four Baltic Trading vessels delivered during the second half of 2013, as well as an increase in the amortization of deferred drydocking costs.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net interest expense was $21.0 million and $21.3 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”), as well as interest expense related to our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”). Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees associated with the aforementioned credit facilities as well as the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the aforementioned credit facilities are included in net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 also includes interest expense under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility which were entered into on August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively.

The decrease in net interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense associated with the interest rate swap agreements as three interest rate swap agreements expired during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements in our condensed consolidated financial statements. This decrease was partially offset by the interest expense recorded during the first quarter of 2014 associated with the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, which were entered into by Baltic Trading effective August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the 2013 10-K for more information regarding the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, income tax expense was $0.4 million as compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The increase in income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to higher commercial service revenue due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement as a result of higher charter rates achieved by Baltic Trading’s fleet as well as an increase in commercial service revenue and technical management fees earned for the four vessels delivered to Baltic Trading during the second half of 2013.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $3.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, our principal sources of funds had been operating cash flows, equity financings, issuance of long-term debt securities, and long-term bank borrowings. Our principal use of funds had been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements and repayments on outstanding loan facilities. Historically, we had also used funds to pay dividends and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We have not declared or paid any dividends since the third quarter of 2008 and currently do not plan to resume the payment of dividends. Moreover, pursuant to restrictions under our debt instruments, we are prohibited from paying dividends. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our cash flows, cash requirements, financial condition, results of operations, required capital expenditures or reserves, contractual restrictions, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See below for descriptions of our historical dividends.

Our historical practice had been to acquire vessels or newbuilding contracts using a combination of issuances of equity securities, bank debt secured by mortgages on our vessels and shares of the common stock of our shipowning subsidiaries, and long-term debt securities.

Our current liquidity needs arise primarily from drydocking for our vessels, and working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and payments required under our indebtedness. We expect that our primary sources of liquidity during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases will be cash flow from operations, cash on hand and any funds made available to us in our restructuring under the Cash Collateral Order. We expect that after the effective date of any plan of reorganization, our liquidity needs will continue to arise primarily from capital expenditures for our vessels, working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and payments required under our indebtedness. We expect that our primary sources of liquidity after such effective date will be cash flow from operations, cash on hand and funds available under any exit financing.

As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $63.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand (including restricted cash), excluding cash held by Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on our liquidity, including the stay of payments on our obligations, our current and future liquidity will greatly depend upon our operating results. Our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs is subject to and will be affected by cash utilized in operations, including our ongoing reorganization activities, the economic or business environment in which we operate, weakness in shipping industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers, vendors and service providers, our ability to comply with the financial and other covenants of any post-restructuring indebtedness, our ability to reorganize our capital structure under bankruptcy court supervision in the Chapter 11 Case, and other factors. Furthermore, as a result of the challenging market conditions we continue to face, we anticipate continued net cash used in operating activities after reorganization and capital expenditures. Additionally, the Chapter 11 Case and related matters could negatively impact our financial condition.

We believe that amounts available to us under the Cash Collateral Order plus cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated cash requirements in the short term for minimum operating and capital expenditures and for working capital purposes. However, there can be no assurance that cash on hand and other available funds will be sufficient to meet our restructuring

Table of Contents

or ongoing cash needs. For example, any further decline in charter rates would negatively impact our anticipated revenues, results of operations and cash flows. If we cannot meet our liquidity needs using cash on hand and cash from operations, or if the bankruptcy court or stakeholders in the Chapter 11 Case do not approve the Plan as contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, we may have to take other actions such as vessel sales, the sale of all or a portion of our business, pursuing additional external liquidity generating events, seeking additional financing to the extent available or reducing or delaying capital expenditures. We could also be forced to consider other alternatives to maximize potential recovery for our various creditor constituencies, including a possible sale of the Company or certain of our material assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, the existing collateral maintenance financial covenant is waived until we can represent that we are in compliance with all of our financial covenants. This covenant required us to maintain pledged vessels with a value equal to at least 130% of our current borrowings. Under the collateral maintenance covenants of our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, the aggregate valuations of our vessels pledged under each facility must at least be a certain percentage of loans outstanding (or, in the case of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the total amount we may borrow), which percentages currently are 135%, 130%, 140%, 130% and 125%, respectively. Under our 2007 Credit Facility, the amount payable upon early termination of any interest rate swaps under the facility is added to outstanding loans for purposes of this covenant. If our valuations fall below the applicable percentage, we must provide additional acceptable collateral, repay a portion of our borrowings, or (in the case of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility) permanently reduce the amount we may borrow under the facility to the extent required to restore our compliance with the applicable covenant.

On May 28, 2013, Baltic Trading closed on an equity offering of 6,419,217 shares of Baltic Trading common stock at an offering price of $3.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of $21.6 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. On September 25, 2013, Baltic Trading closed on an equity offering of 13,800,000 shares of Baltic Trading common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of $59.5 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. On November 18, 2013, we closed an equity offering of 12,650,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. We received net proceeds of $55.1 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. Our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC was issued 128,383, 276,000 and 253,000 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock on May 28, 2013, September 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, respectively, which represented 2% of the number of common shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement between Genco Investments LLC and Baltic Trading. As of March 31, 2014, Genco Investments LLC owns 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents an 11.05% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 65.08% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock.

On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch. The 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was subsequently amended effective November 30, 2010 which increased the borrowing capacity from $100 million to $150 million. The amended 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2016. There was an additional amendment entered into effective August 29, 2013 which reduced the borrowing capacity to $110 million and allowed Baltic Trading to incur additional indebtedness under new credit facilities. Refer to Note 9 — Debt of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of this amendment. To remain in compliance with a net worth covenant in the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, Baltic Trading would need to maintain a net worth of $300.9 million after the payment of any dividends.

On July 2, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase two Handysize drybulk vessels from subsidiaries of Clipper Group for an aggregate purchase price of $41.0 million. The Baltic Hare, a 2009-built Handysize vessel, was delivered on September 5, 2013 and the Baltic Fox, a 2010-built Handysize vessel, was delivered on September 6, 2013. Baltic Trading funded a portion of the purchase price of the vessels using proceeds from its registered follow-on common stock offering completed on May 28, 2013. For the remainder of the purchase price, Baltic Trading drew down $22.0 million on the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility on September 4, 2013. The Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility is to be repaid in 23 quarterly repayment installments of approximately $0.4 million each, the first of which is payable three months after the last drawdown date, or December 4, 2013, and a balloon payment of approximately $13.4 million payable on September 4, 2019. Interest on borrowings is payable at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.35%. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this credit facility.

On October 31, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase two Capesize drybulk vessels from affiliates of SK Shipping Co. Ltd. for an aggregate purchase price of $103.0 million. The Baltic Lion, a 2012-built Capesize vessel, was delivered on December 27, 2013 and the Baltic Tiger, a 2011-built Capesize vessel, was delivered on November 26, 2013. Baltic Trading funded a portion of the purchase price of the vessels using proceeds from its registered follow-on common stock offering completed on September 25, 2013. For the remainder of the purchase price, Baltic Trading drew down $44.0 million on the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility on December 23, 2013. The Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility is to be repaid in 23 quarterly repayment installments of approximately $0.7 million each, the first of which is payable three months after the last drawdown date, or March 24, 2014, and a balloon payment of approximately $28.2 million payable on December 23, 2019. Interest on borrowings is

payable at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.35%. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this credit facility.

On November 13, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase up to four 64,000 dwt Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for a purchase price of $28.0 million per vessel, or up to $112.0 million in the aggregate. Baltic Trading agreed to purchase two such vessels, to be renamed the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and obtained an option to purchase up to two additional such vessels for the same price, which Baltic Trading exercised on January 8, 2014. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Mantis and the Baltic Scorpion. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. The Baltic Scorpion and the Baltic Mantis are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand and future cash flow from operations as well as commercial bank debt to fully finance the acquisition of these four Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels.

Dividend Policy

Historically, our dividend policy, which commenced in November 2005, has been to declare quarterly distributions to shareholders by each February, May, August and November, substantially equal to our available cash from operations during the previous quarter, less cash expenses for that quarter (principally vessel operating expenses and debt service) and any reserves our Board of Directors determines we should maintain. These reserves covered, among other things, drydocking, repairs, claims, liabilities and other obligations, interest expense and debt amortization, acquisitions of additional assets and working capital. In the future, we may incur other expenses or liabilities that would reduce or eliminate the cash available for distribution as dividends. Under the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, we are required to suspend the payment of cash dividends until we can represent that we are in a position to satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant. Refer to the 2013 10-K for further information regarding the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility. As such, a dividend has not been declared during 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As a result of the 2009 Amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility, we have suspended the payment of cash dividends effective for the fourth quarter of 2008, and payment of cash dividends will remain suspended until we can meet the collateral maintenance covenant contained in the 2007 Credit Facility. In addition, under the terms of the August 2012 Agreements, we were prohibited from paying dividends through December 31, 2013, and we are currently in default under the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility as we did not pay the debt amortization payment of $48.2 million that was due on March 31, 2014.

The declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant, which is currently waived. The timing and amount of dividend payments will depend on our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in our loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and other factors. Our board of directors may review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our plans for future growth and other factors.

We believe that, under current law, our dividend payments from earnings and profits would constitute “qualified dividend income.” For 2012, the maximum Federal income tax rate on qualified dividends paid to non-corporate shareholders was 15%. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the maximum Federal income tax rate on qualified dividends paid to non-corporate shareholders is 20%, and all or a portion of dividend income received by shareholders whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers) may be subject to a 3.8% surtax. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. shareholder’s tax basis in its common stock on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, thereafter, as capital gain.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.6 million and $17.4 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a net loss of $42.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $52.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which resulted from the expansion of our fleet as well higher charter rates achieved in the first quarter of 2014 versus the same period in 2013 by the majority of the vessels in our fleet. As a result of the increase in the size of our fleet, depreciation increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior year period. Additionally, there was an $8.5 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses related to the timing of drydocking related expenses and the timing of interest payments incurred during the first quarter of 2014 partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, as well as a $4.4 million increase in deferred drydocking costs incurred during the first quarter of 2014 as a total of ten vessels completed drydockings during

Table of Contents

the first quarter of 2014, including three of Baltic Trading’s vessels. Lastly, there was a decrease of receivables totaling $3.2 million due to the timing of payments received from charterers.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $17.9 million and $13,000, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of $17.6 million of vessel asset purchases, including deposits. This consisted primarily of deposits made by Baltic Trading for its four newbuilding Ultramax vessels that it has agreed to acquire. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were $0.2 million purchases of fixed assets as well as additional deposits of restricted cash of $0.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash used in investing activities consisted of the purchase of fixed assets in the amount of $13,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $9.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily a result of a $5.1 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, a $1.9 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, a $0.7 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, a $0.4 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $0.1 million for payment of common stock issuance costs by Baltic Trading and $0.1 million for payments of deferred financing costs. Cash dividends paid by our subsidiary, Baltic Trading, to its outside shareholders were $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Credit Facilities

Refer to the 2013 10-K for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants. On August 29, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into an amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. Additionally, on August 30, 2013, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading entered into the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility to fund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Fox and Baltic Hare. Lastly, on December 3, 2013, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading entered into the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility to fund or refund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Tiger and Baltic Lion. Refer to Note 9 —Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms and fees associated with these agreements.

We did not make the scheduled semi-annual interest payment of approximately $3.1 million due on February 18, 2014 under our 2010 Notes. However, a failure to pay interest on such payment date did not constitute an event of default (as defined in the indenture and the supplemental indenture governing the 2010 Notes, or the Indenture) unless such failure were to continue for a grace period of 30 days. Despite such grace period, the failure to make the interest payment on such payment date could have constituted a default under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility. Accordingly, on February 18, 2014, we entered into a Limited Waiver of Default (the “Waiver Agreement”) with the lenders party to the Loan Agreement for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility. Under the terms of the Waiver Agreement, such lenders agreed to waive, subject to certain conditions, an Event of Default under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility resulting from the Company’s failure to make the scheduled semi-annual interest payment under the 2010 Notes. The Company made the scheduled semi-annual interest payment under the 2010 Notes on March 20, 2014, before the expiration of the waiver under the Waiver Agreement.

To allow discussions with our creditors concerning our restructuring to continue into April 2014 without the need to file for immediate bankruptcy relief, on March 31, 2014, we entered into the Relief Agreements to obtain waivers or forbearances with respect to certain potential or actual events of default as of March 31, 2014 as follows:
