According to its Annual Report filed with the SEC for fiscal year 2013: "Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, we note that for the period covered by this annual report, the vessel M/V Evian, prior to its sale in October 2013, made one port call to Iran in 2013. The vessel made one call to the port of Bandar Abbas on August 29, 2013, loading iron ore. The vessel remained in the port of Bandar Abbas for 26.3 days, from August 29, 2013 until September 24, 2013, and subsequently completed a voyage that lasted 35.8 days carrying the iron ore to another port. During this time the M/V Evian was on bareboat charter to an unrelated third party for $7,000 per day. Under the terms of the bareboat charter, and consistent with shipping industry practice, the charterer of the vessel pays the Company a daily charter rate and the charterer directs the vessel's route, loading and discharge ports and the cargoes carried. Due to the nature of the bareboat charter it is difficult to compute the gross revenue or net proceeds gained by the charterer from this port call and subsequent voyage."
