Euroseas Ltd. Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.25 Per Common Share
 

07/18/07 Maroussi, Athens, Greece – Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESEA), an owner and operator of drybulk and container carrier vessels and a provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk and containerized cargoes, announced today that it has declared a dividend of $0.25 per common share for the second quarter of 2007. The dividend is payable on August 24, 2007 to all shareholders of record as of August 15, 2007. This dividend marks an increase of 4.2% from the prior quarter's dividend of $0.24 per share.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: "We are happy to be in a position to pay a dividend of $0.25 per share which is $0.01 per share or 4.2% above our target minimum dividend. I would like to highlight that this quarterly dividend is to be paid also to our new shareholders from our recent follow-on offering and, thus, in dollar terms represents a 37% increase over the prior quarter’s dividend. At the same time, this dividend increase does not compromise our growth strategy as it still represents only a portion of our earnings and cash flow and does not include contributions from the vessels we have started acquiring using the proceeds from that offering.   Our focus remains to continue investing the proceeds from our recent offering on accretive acquisitions."
