Maroussi, Greece, February 10, 2023 – Pyxis Tankers Inc. (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXS), (the "Company" or "Pyxis Tankers"), an international pure play product tanker company, today announced that through a wholly-owned subsidiary, it had accepted a letter agreement for a secured term loan facility of up to $15.5 million from Piraeus Bank S.A. (the "Facility") with an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.7% that is repayable over 5 years on a quarterly basis. The proceeds from the Facility will be used to refinance the existing debt secured by the *Pyxis Karteria*, our 2013 built, 46,652 dwt. MR2 product tanker, and for other corporate purposes.

Upon closing, this Facility will provide us a number of important benefits including a) a savings of 210 basis points in interest rate margin and b) lengthening our overall average debt maturities."

But the absence of such words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that are not statements of either historical or current facts, including among other things, our expected financial performance, expectations or objectives regarding future and market charter rate expectations and, in particular, the effects of COVID-19 or any variant thereof, or the war in the Ukraine, on our financial condition and operations and the product tanker industry in general, are forward-looking statements.
