The company is listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange as from 2011. NBZ investments are diversified over various shipping markets, such as the dry bulk market, the short sea multipurpose market, the product tanker market and amongst others the gas tanker market. Currently all the NBZ investments are financially structured with adequate security arrangements such as operational and financial leases (supported by long term vessel employment) and/or 1st priority mortgage security. NBZ background NBZ was founded by Diederik Tjeenk Willink in 2005, during the first years as a private company before it went public in 2011. The main objective was to create a diversified portfolio with investments in various types of vessels with long term employment in different market segments. This was a totally new concept in the Netherlands, where the local shipping investment market was dominated by limited partnerships with single-ship companies without any long term employment for the vessels involved and 90% of the vessels being newly (most Dutch) built short sea multipurpose vessels. Annexum Beheer B.V. is responsible for the general management of NBZ, mainly focussing on the compliance and administration. Focko Nauta is responsible for the day to day operation and investment management. Investment Criteria The investment strategy of NBZ is clearly described in the latest prospectus (2016). It is the ambition of the management to to create shareholders value on the longer term and to pay out dividend regularly (approx. 7 – 10% p.a.). The investment criteria of NBZ are herewith summarized as follows: 1) Investments are in different types of vessels operated in different segments of the shipping market. Per the end of 2017 the NBZ portfolio is diversified over 11 investments in 6 markets. 2) Vessels have fixed adequate employment with reliable counterparts and/or are secured by mortgages. Investments preferably include secured exit scenarios. Currently (end 2017) 8 of the 11 investments include exit price agreements and one investment is secured by a 1st priority mortgage. Two investments include open sales scenarios. 3) All vessels are existing seagoing vessels; no new buildings. 4) Investments must meet certain return requirements. The available capital for investments is limited. In order to be able to maintain the necessary diversification objective, most of the investments include minority participations in limited partnerships. Currently 9 of the 11 investments are participations in Norwegian limited partnerships. Investments are often structured as buy and charter transactions. In most of the cases the charter contracts are bareboat contracts, meaning that the vessels are chartered as bare hulls and lessors are responsible for maintenance, crew and insurance. Investment proposals are prepared by the management and submitted to the Supervisory Board for final approval. Investment proposals include amongst others thorough analysis of the market involved, the parties involved, the residual value risks and the return on investment calculations.

We keep our shareholders abreast of fund developments on our website but also by quarterly messages and our quarterly and annual financial reports.

Executive summary and future considerations The NBZ investment criteria are based upon market diversification and long term employment for the vessel investments. One of the main objectives of NBZ in to create long term value for the shareholders, therefore the NBZ investments often include an exit downside protection mechanism (put option). This enables NBZ to show good results in good and bad times. The investment portfolio must generate sufficient cash return to enable NBZ regularly pay dividend to her shareholders. NBZ has a lean and mean internal organisation and is managed by Annexum, one of the largest managers of private equity real estate projects in The Netherlands. Long term in-depth shipping and investment experience are represented in the day-to-day management team as well as in the Supervisory Board. NBZ, being listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange maintains the highest reporting and corporate governance standards. Besides the ongoing efforts to keep the highest quality investment portfolio, NBZs main challenge during the coming years will be the strengthening of her own capital base.
