<P align=left>announces today that the previously announced 1-for-4 reverse
stock split will take effect at the</P>
<P align=left>opening of trading in London on Thursday July 29, 2010, with the
Company’s issued share capital</P>
<P align=left>being 7,240,852 shares of US$0.004 each.</P>
<P align=left>The 1-for-4 reverse split was approved by the Company’s
shareholders at the Annual General</P>
<P align=left>Meeting held on July 28, 2010, together with all the special
resolutions relating to the possible listing</P>
<P align=left>of the Company’s shares on a U.S. Stock Exchange. Were the Company
to achieve such a listing, it</P>
<P align=left>would seek to delist its shares from AIM as soon as reasonably
practicable so as to avoid the</P>
<P align=left>unnecessary expense of maintaining dual listings.</P>
<P align=left>George Karageorgiou, Chief Executive Officer of Globus Maritime,
stated: “We consolidated our</P>
<P align=left>shares in preparation of the possible listing on a U.S. Stock
Exchange. We believe that listing</P>
<P align=left>Globus on an exchange in the United States may result in our
shares trading at a more favourable</P>
<P align=left>price relative to their net asset value than has recently been the
case. This belief is based on the</P>
<P align=left>performance of share prices of comparable companies currently
trading on U.S. Stock Exchanges,</P>
<P align=left>which generally benefit from a larger universe of research
analysts as well as a larger base of both</P>
<P align=left>institutional and individual investors. In addition, the Board
believes that the Company would also be</P>
<P align=left>in a better position to raise funds for its future
development.”</P>
<P align=left>Shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form will
receive a new certificate within 14 days</P>
<P align=left>of the Record Date. Old certificates are now invalid. Shareholders
holding a number of shares that is</P>
<P align=left>not evenly divisible by the ratio of the reverse stock split will
not receive a cash payment for any</P>
<P>fractional shares.</P></FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
