1 Earnings Conference Call First Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Acts. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historic facts. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, managements' examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although Paragon Shipping Inc. believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, Paragon Shipping Inc. can not assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of the world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydockings, changes in our vessel operating expenses, including drydocking, crewing and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, ability of our counterparties to perform these obligations under sales agreements and charter contracts on a timely basis, potential liability from future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by Paragon Shipping Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Slide 2
