TOP Ships Inc. Announces Ex-Distribution Date for Planned Spin-Off of Rubico, a New Nasdaq-Listed Suezmax Tanker Company
June 05 2025 - 8:38AM



TOP Ships Inc. (the โ€œCompanyโ€ or โ€œTOP Shipsโ€) (NYSE American:TOPS), an international owner and operator of modern, fuel-efficient โ€œECOโ€ tanker vessels, announced today that the NYSE American (the โ€œNYSEโ€) has established an ex-distribution date for the previously-announced proposed spin-off of two of its Suezmax tanker vessels.

Rubico Inc. (โ€œRubicoโ€), currently a subsidiary of TOP Ships, would become an independent publicly-traded company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of the planned spin-off. The initial assets of Rubico will be the M/T Eco Malibu and M/T Eco West Coast, each a modern, high specification, scrubber-fitted and fuel-efficient 157,000 dwt Suezmax tanker. As part of the spin-off transaction, TOP Ships intends to distribute 100% of the common shares of Rubico pro rata to its securityholders of record as of June 16, 2025.

The NYSE has established an ex-distribution date for the distribution of Rubico common shares of June 16, 2025. Beginning on that date, TOP Ships common shares will trade without an entitlement by the purchaser of such shares to Rubico common shares distributed in connection with the spin-off.

TOP Ships securityholders do not need to take any action to receive Rubico shares to which they are entitled, and do not need to pay any consideration or surrender or exchange TOP Ships common shares or warrants.

TOP Ships expects that approximately 3,057,337 Rubico common shares will be distributed in the Spin-Off at an assumed distribution ratio of one Rubico common share for every two TOP Ships common shares held by TOP Ships common shareholders (and warrantholders on an as-exercised basis) at the close of business on June 16, 2025. However, such distribution ratio will depend on the number of TOP Ships common shares outstanding, as well as the number of common shares into which outstanding TOP Ships common stock purchase warrants are exercisable, on June 16, 2025, the record date for the spin-off distribution.

Concurrently and conditioned on the spin-off transaction, Rubico expects to raise $1.5 million in a private placement of its common shares at a purchase price of $20.00 per share.

Rubico has filed a registration statement on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed spin-off. The transaction remains subject to such registration statement being declared effective and the approval of the listing of Rubicoโ€™s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the transaction will occur or, if it does occur, of its terms or timing. TOP Ships may, at any time, decide to abandon the spin-off. A copy of the registration statement on Form 20-F filed by Rubico is available at www.sec.gov. The information in the filed registration statement on Form 20-F is not final and remains subject to change.

TOP Ships Inc. Announces Intention to Spin Off a New Nasdaq-Listed Suezmax Tanker Company



ATHENS, Greece, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOP Ships Inc. (the โ€œCompanyโ€ or โ€œTOP Shipsโ€) (NYSE American: TOPS), an international owner and operator of modern, fuel-efficient โ€œECOโ€ tanker vessels, announced today that it intends to effect a spin-off of two of its Suezmax tanker vessels.

Rubico Inc. (โ€œRubicoโ€), currently a subsidiary of TOP Ships, would become an independent publicly-traded company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of the planned spin-off. The initial assets of Rubico will be the M/T Eco Malibu and M/T Eco West Coast, each a modern, high specification, scrubber-fitted and fuel-efficient 157,000 dwt Suezmax tanker.

As part of the spin-off transaction, TOP Ships intends to distribute 100% of the common shares of Rubico to its securityholders of record as of June 16, 2025. The distribution of common shares of Rubico is expected to be made on or around June 30, 2025. Following the spin-off, there are expected to be no overlapping board members or executive officers between Rubico and TOP Ships.

In the spin-off distribution, TOP Ships intends to distribute 100% of the common shares of Rubico pro rata to the common shareholders of TOP Ships and to all holders of outstanding common stock purchase warrants of TOP Ships on an as-exercised basis.

TOP Ships securityholders do not need to take any action to receive Rubico shares to which they are entitled, and do not need to pay any consideration or surrender or exchange TOP Ships common shares. TOP Ships common shareholders (and warrantholders on an as-exercised basis) will receive one Rubico common share for every two TOP Ships common shares held at the close of business on June 16, 2025, the record date for the distribution. Fractional common shares of Rubico will not be distributed. Instead, the distribution agent will aggregate fractional common shares into whole shares, sell such whole shares in the open market at prevailing rates promptly after Rubicoโ€™s common shares commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and distribute the net cash proceeds from the sales pro rata to each holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional common shares in the distribution.

In connection with the spin-off transaction, Rubico expects to raise $1.5 million in a private placement of its common shares at a purchase price of $20.00 per share. The private placement will be conditioned on and is expected to close concurrently with the spin-off distribution.

Rubico will file a registration statement on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed spin-off. The transaction remains subject to such registration statement being declared effective and the approval of the listing of Rubicoโ€™s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the transaction will occur or, if it does occur, of its terms or timing. TOP Ships may, at any time, decide to abandon the spin-off. A copy of the registration statement on Form 20-F filed by Rubico will be available at www.sec.gov.

Microcaps behave that way. They'll have a spurt of liquidity and then dry up over time. Not a bad time to buy in imo.

Tops buys all the shares back by sellers at 17 million for 1 million shares when they are making 80 million a year. I think the pe is a little low.

Cheap cheap for pistolis should be paying 150$ for your shares.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
zeusgodmd zeusgodmd 2 years ago
Well if I was him I would buy the rest of the 1 million shares left if people want to sell them for 18$. Whatโ€™s 18 million spent when youโ€™re making 80 million a year. Company goes private for cheap I would be salivating well played. Mine you will need to pay more for.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
zeusgodmd zeusgodmd 2 years ago
Buy the rest at 17$ pistolis make a steal
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
zeusgodmd zeusgodmd 2 years ago
Not sure what else pistolis has to do but after they buy 600000 shares and thereโ€™s 1 million left if the price is still low I know what heโ€™s going to do. Buy more so he doesnโ€™t have to pay the 100$ a share he should be paying but if thereโ€™s only 1/2 million of shares left will be better for all that is left
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ0
zeusgodmd zeusgodmd 2 years ago
Looks like they are going to buy another 200000 shares before they have to buy out the rest of the public at a premium
