5. Non-Recurring Exceptional Cash Distribution of $1.05 3
CPLP earned $17.6mil in profit sharing revenues in 2008. Our distributions are determined
from the base earnings excluding profit sharing revenues.
Returning Value to Unitholders:
– Absence of investment opportunities due to the crisis in equity and credit markets and weak shipping
markets.
– No debt amortization obligations until June 2012 at the earliest.
– Continue to have strong balance sheet with adequate reserves following the exceptional distribution.
– The Partnership owns a young, high specification fleet chartered with reputable counterparties.
– 97% of Charter Revenues fixed for 2009 and 60% for 2010.
From Q1 2009 we expect to return to our previously stated distribution policy subject to
Board approval.
Sponsor Exits Subordination*:
– Payment of exceptional distribution brings total 2008 distributions to $2.27 (50% above annual MQD).
– Subordinated units convert to common following payment of distribution.
– Partnership and Sponsor interests are well aligned – Capital Maritime is the largest single
shareholder (46.6% ownership incl. 2% in GP units).
– The level of the distribution triggers payment of $12.5mil from operating surplus to the General
Partner in Incentive Distribution Rights (IDRs) to be received in four equal quarterly installments with
the first being paid this quarter and subject to the Partnership distributing at least the MQD in each
subsequent quarter.
– Termination of the subordination provides additional flexibility to the Partnership.
