For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 the Company reported a Net Loss of $1 million or

with the sale of M/T Olinda.

cents basic and diluted earnings per share.
Recent Developments
On July 20, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock market that the Company has regained
compliance with the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and the noncompliance matter is now
closed.
On July 26, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement for DryShips Inc. to acquire the outstanding
shares of the Company for a consideration per share of $19.85, consisting of $11.25 in cash and
0.52326 of a share of common stock of Ocean Rig UDW Inc. or $8.6 based on the last traded price as

shares are to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market upon the closing of the merger.
Prof. John Liveris, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, commented:
“The highlight of the most recent developments is OceanFreight’s merger with DryShips. This merger
enables our shareholders to realize the value created from the significant repositioning of the
company’s fleet and employment profile. This value unfortunately was not reflected in our stock
price. Additionally, we are pleased to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in
Ocean Rig, a growing company in the ultra deep water drilling sector. We believe that OceanFreight’s
four-year journey in the public markets has reached a worthy homeport.”

$ 23,812 $ 24,352
Fleet utilization (5) 90.7% 95.7%
(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the
sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in
that period.
(2) Total voyage days for fleet are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period net of off hire.
(3) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off -hire days.
(4) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage
basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing gross revenues (net
of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel
costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as
well as commissions. TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period
changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters
and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.
(5) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is
determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
OceanFreight Inc. considers EBITDA to represent net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes loss on sale of vessels and impairment on vessels. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income
or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP and our calculation of EBITDA may not
be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this earnings
release because it is a basis upon which we assess our liquidity position, because it is used by our
lenders as a measure of our compliance with certain loan covenants and because we believe that it
presents useful information to investors regarding our ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
The following table reconciles Net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA as adjusted for
the effect of the loss from the sale of vessels and impairment loss:
