    A LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF INTERNATIONAL SEAWAYS, INC. (INSW)
    Famatown Finance Limited (together with its affiliates, “Seatankers,” “our,” or “we”) has been a material shareholder of International Seaways, Inc. (“INSW” or the “Company”) since March 2022 and currently maintains a significant 16.63% equity stake in the Company.
