New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.3% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

Braemar Shipping Services plc Announces Launch of Braemar Offset Braemar Shipping Services Plc announced the launch ofBraemar Offset, a digital platform that enables its clients to reduce their carbon footprint in a measurable, effective and efficient way. Science-based emission reductions are now a baseline expectation for maritime companies, and carbon offsetting - a decarbonising activity to compensate for unavoidable emissions elsewhere, which is one of the tools that shipping will utilise to achieve net zero. Braemar Offset provides a diverse and regularly replenished portfolio of offset projects to ensure certainty of supply. Only projects that are transparent, environmentally robust, verified and vetted by sustainability experts are included. The projects include sustainable agroforestry on the Guatemalan conservation coast, protecting habitats for critically endangered species in Indonesia, and helping to reduce air pollution in Jiangxi province in China. Carbon offsets are particularly important for companies that have set net zero targets; work in sectors that face strong end user or political pressure; or who are committed to going above and beyond current IMO ambitions. Primarily this is because a strong ESG proposition helps companies address new markets and expand into existing ones, but it also enhances top-line growth through the premiums that more sustainable services command, in a similar way to the premium that 'eco' vessels have in the charter market today.
