ITEM 4.INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A. History and Development of the Company Safe Bulkers, Inc. was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on December 11, 2007, for the purpose of acquiring ownership of various subsidiaries that either owned or were scheduled to own vessels. Polys Hajioannou, our chief executive officer, has a long history of operating and investing in the international shipping industry, including a long history of vessel ownership. Vassos Hajioannou, the late father of Polys Hajioannou, our chief executive officer, first invested in shipping in 1958. Polys Hajioannou has been actively involved in the industry since 1987, when he joined the predecessor of Safety Management. Over the past 39 years under the leadership of Polys Hajioannou, we have sold or contracted to sell 31 drybulk vessels during periods of what we viewed as favorable second-hand market conditions and have contracted to acquire 72 drybulk newbuilds and 13 drybulk second-hand vessels.
