What Happened

• Milena Maria Pappa, a director of Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (SBLK), purchased 74,400 newly issued common shares on 2026-09-15 by subscribing in the company’s public offering tied to its dual listing on Euronext Athens. The shares were acquired at the offering price of EUR 24.50 per share (reported equivalent $28.27), for a total value of $2,103,288.
• This was a purchase (transaction code P), which investors often view as a more informative event than routine sales because it represents the insider adding stock rather than disposing of it.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-09-15, 74,400 shares at $28.27 per share (EUR 24.50 offering price; total ~$2,103,288).
• Filing date: Form 4 filed 2026-09-17 (filed two days after the transaction; not indicated as late).
• Ownership after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnote: Shares were acquired through three corporations in which Ms. Pappa holds 100% of the economic interest and over which she has investment control — the purchase was made via an entity controlled by her.
• Transaction type: Participation in the company’s public offering following its dual listing on Euronext Athens (subscription to new shares), not an open-market secondary trade.

Context

• This purchase reflects a direct subscription to newly issued shares in a company offering rather than a market buy; such participation can indicate support for the company’s capital raise but should be interpreted alongside other information (company filings, market conditions).
• No options, gifts, or tax-withholding events were reported in this filing.
