Pyxis Tankers Announces Acquisition of Remaining 40% Interest in Ultramax Dry Bulk Vessel “Ormi” Transaction Expected to Be Immediately Accretive and Further Simplify Ownership Structure
Pyxis Tankers agreed to acquire the remaining 40% non-controlling interest in the entity owning the Ormi, a 2016-built 63,250 dwt Ultramax dry bulk vessel, for the seller's share of the net appraised equity value — approximately $6.83 million. The seller is an entity related to Chairman and CEO Eddie Valentis, who took the 40% stake when Pyxis bought the Ormi for $28.5 million in October 2023. The price is supported by three independent shipbroker appraisals averaging $32.08 million, implying $17.08 million of net equity value after $15.0 million of vessel debt.
