Introductory Note

On September 12, 2007, MC Shipping Inc. (the "Company") completed its merger with Mast Merger Sub Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mast Acquisition Ltd. (“Parent”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, each publicly held outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $14.25 in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a privately-held, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, an entity controlled by Bear Stearns Merchant Banking (“BSMB”), the private equity affiliate of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, trading of the Company's common stock on AMEX was suspended as of the close of trading on September 12, 2007. On September 12, 2007, the Company filed with the SEC a Certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Company’s common stock be deregistered and that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, be suspended.
