Notes:

On August 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Issuer announced that it had completed its previously announced conversion from a Marshall Islands limited partnership to a Marshall Islands corporation in accordance with a Plan of Conversion pursuant to which, among other things (collectively, the “Conversion”), (i) the Issuer converted from a Marshall Islands limited partnership previously named “Capital Product Partners L.P.” (the “Partnership”) to a Marshall Islands corporation pursuant to and in accordance with the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act and the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act (the “MIBCA”), (ii) each of the common units of the Partnership (the “Common Units”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Date was converted into one Common Share and (iii) the 348,570 General Partner units of the Partnership and all of the incentive distribution rights of the Partnership, in each case, outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Date, were converted into an aggregate of 3,500,000 Common Shares. This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the disclosures in Items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 3, 2024, as amended by amendments thereto filed on January 30, 2024, January 22, 2024, January 9, 2024 and February 26, 2024, which previously related to the Common Units of the Partnership and which, following the Effective Date, shall hereafter relate to the Common Shares of the Issuer. Except as specifically provided herein, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

This Schedule 13D relates to Common Shares, with par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, with principal executive offices at 3 Iasonos Street, Piraeus, 18537, Greece. Prior to the Effective Date, this Schedule 13D related to the Common Units, representing limited partner interests of the Partnership.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On the Effective Date, the Issuer completed the Conversion. As a result of the Conversion, each of the Common Units held by the Reporting Persons was converted into one Common Share. Disclosure contained in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, from February 26, 2024 to September 10, 2024, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ascetico Limited (“Ascetico”), acquired 555,738 Common Units (subsequently converted to Common Shares as a result of the Conversion) and Common Shares, in open-market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $9,648,393. The source of funds used for these transactions was working capital of the Company.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth in Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Following the Conversion and the acquisition of the Common Shares between February 26, 2024 and September 10, 2024 as described in Item 3, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 25.2% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer (calculated using a denominator of 58,387,313 Common Shares outstanding and excluding 1,551,061 Common Shares held in treasury).

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Conversion, on the Effective Date the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (“Capital Maritime”), Capital Gas Corp. (“Capital Gas”), Capital GP L.L.C. (“CGP LLC”), Paparebecorp Limited (“Paparebecorp”) and Ascetico (together with Paparebecorp and their Affiliates (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the “Yoda Parties”), setting forth certain registration rights with respect to the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, at the request of Capital Maritime, the Issuer shall file a “Shelf Registration Statement” pursuant to and as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, with the SEC as promptly as practicable and no later than 30 days after a written request by Capital Maritime, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to become effective and remain continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining, including by filing successive replacement or renewal Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of such Shelf Registration Statement. Any holder of Registrable Securities (a “Holder”) may request that it be included in such Shelf Registration Statement as a selling securityholder with respect to any Registrable Securities then held by it, subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

At any time during which a Shelf Registration Statement is not in effect and the Issuer is not then in the process of preparing for filing with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement necessary so that such Shelf Registration Statement continues to be in effect in compliance with the Securities Act, any Holder may request to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement separate from a Shelf Registration Statement. Capital Maritime, Capital Gas and CGP LLC, together with any direct or indirect transferee, are entitled to demand up to four underwritten offerings pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and the Yoda Parties together with any direct or indirect transferee shall be entitled to demand one underwritten registration; provided that, in the event that the Yoda Parties or one or more of their direct or indirect transferees shall have previously requested an underwritten shelf takedown pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement that shall have occurred, then the Yoda Parties together with any direct or indirect transferee of the Yoda Parties shall thereafter not be entitled to request any underwritten demand registration.

If the Issuer at any time proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for an offering of securities for cash (other than an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan), the Issuer will use all reasonable best efforts to include such number or amount of Registrable Securities held by any Holder in such registration statement as the Holder shall request, subject to customary cut back provisions.

If the Conflicts Committee of the Issuer’s board of directors determines in good faith that the requested registration would be materially detrimental to the Issuer because such registration would (x) materially interfere in a way materially adverse to the Issuer with a significant acquisition, merger, disposition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Issuer, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) render the Issuer unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Issuer shall have the right to postpone such requested registration for a period of not more than 90 days, such right not to be utilized more than twice in any 12-month period.

The Issuer also agreed to indemnify each Holder, its officers, directors and each person who controls such Holder against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which such person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Act, any state blue sky securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in connection with any registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes as they believed that such Common Shares represented an attractive investment opportunity.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law or other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries, to acquire additional

Common Shares, dispose of some or all of the Common Shares that it may own from time to time, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, and review or reconsider their position, change their purpose, take other actions or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing.
