MARKET ABUSE REGULATION ANNOUNCEMENT

HFMX Designated Activity Company

(the "Issuer")

Costamare (Series 231) Notes due 2020

ISIN: XS1887321518 COMMON CODE: 188732151

(the "Notes" or the "Series" and the holders thereof the "Noteholders")

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this notice shall have the meanings ascribed to

them in the Series Memorandum dated 3 October 2018 as supplemented on 24 April 2020 and the

Conditions of the Notes as the same may be amended and / or supplemented from time to time.

BACKGROUND

The Issuer used the entire net proceeds of the Notes make a loan (the "Loan") to Boulevard Costa

Sur S.A. (the "Borrower") pursuant to a secured term loan agreement dated 3 October 2018, as

amended and restated on 15 July 2021 (the "Secured Term Loan Agreement").

The Notes originally had a Maturity Date of 2 October 2020. Pursuant to an Extraordinary

Resolution of the Noteholders dated 8 April 2020, the Noteholders approved an extended maturity

date of 30 April 2021 ("First Extended Maturity Date"); and pursuant to an Extraordinary

Resolution of the Noteholders dated 29 June 2021, the Noteholders approved an extended maturity

date of 15 April 2022 ("Second Extended Maturity Date").

Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) provides that, unless previously redeemed or

purchased, the Notes will be redeemed by a payment in respect of each Note of the Redemption

Amount on the Final Maturity Payment Date save where Notes are redeemed pursuant to Condition

2.4.6. The Redemption Amount is defined as an amount equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the

Net Proceeds. The Special Condition also provides that no interest or other amount shall accrue or

be payable in respect of the Notes in respect of the period from and including the Extended

Maturity Date, to and including the Final Maturity Payment Date.

The calculation of the Net Proceeds is dependent on the determination of the Realisable Value.

The Realisable Value is defined as an amount determined by the Calculation Agent being the

proceeds of sale or other means of realisation of the Charged Assets less any costs, expenses, taxes

and duties incurred in connection with the disposal or transfer of the Charged Assets by the

Charged Assets Realisation Agent.

Subject to the Conditions, the Final Maturity Payment Date is defined as the date falling five (5)

Business Days following the day that the Issuer receives the aggregate Realisable Value pursuant

to Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount). It is also stipulated that the Final Maturity Payment

Date may be significantly later than the Extended Maturity Date (as was disclosed in the "Risk

Factors – Payments" in the Series Memorandum). Special Condition 5.11 (Events of Default)

provides that an Event of Default under Condition 4.1.1 shall occur if the Final Maturity Payment

Date does not occur within 90 days of the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Secured Term Loan Agreement the Borrower became obliged to repay the entire

unpaid Loan principal and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on 31 March 2022 (the "Loan

Maturity Date").

The Issuer sent a notice to Noteholders dated 14 April 2022, appended hereto as Schedule 1 (the

"April 2022 Issuer Notice") notifiying Noteholders, amongst other things, that the Borrower had

communicated to the Issuer that it would not be able to fulfill its obligation to pay in full accrued

but unpaid interest and outstanding principal under the Secured Term Loan Agreement on the Loan

Maturity Date.

The Borrower failed to make the scheduled payment of the entire principal amount outstanding

under the Loan, together with accrued but unpaid interest, due on 31 March 2022 (the "Loan

Payment Failure"). The cure period specified in Section 5.02 of the Secured Term Loan

Agreement has expired and an Event of Default has therefore occurred under the Secured Term

Loan Agreement.

The Issuer hereby provides notice that:

1. The Notes matured on the Second Extended Maturity Date of 15 April 2022.

2. The provisions of Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) apply so that the

Redemption Amount of the Notes will be paid on the Final Maturity Payment Date, which

may be significantly later than the Second Extended Maturity Date. However, if the Final

Maturity Payment Date does not occur within 90 days of the Second Extended Maturity

Date, it will be an Event of Default of the Notes.

3. The Borrower has informed the Arranger that the Borrower has entered into an agreement

with a third-party investor to provide financing that will allow for a complete or partial

payment of the Notes but that the investment amount of the third-party investor is

contingent on the results of a private placement that it is doing within its investor base. The

Borrower further informed the Arranger that such private placement effort is presently

ongoing and that the Borrower will negotiate with the representative of the Noteholders

with respect to a proposal for payment of the Loan. Once an agreement is reached, the

Borrower will coordinate with the Issuer with respect to an Extraordinary Resolution of

the Noteholders to extend the term of the Loan and the Notes. Neither the Issuer, nor the

Arranger have independently verified the information provided by the Borrower.

This Notice has not been formulated by the Trustee who expresses no view on it and the Trustee

expresses no opinion as to the actions (if any) the Noteholders may take in respect of this Notice.

The information contained herein has not been independently verified by the Trustee and the

Trustee makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to Noteholders in

or pursuant to this Notice. In accordance with normal practice, the Trustee expresses no view as

to the truth, veracity, accuracy or completeness of the contents of this Notice. Accordingly, the

Trustee recommends that Noteholders consider seeking their own financial, tax, accounting,

investment and legal advice in respect of this Notice.

No responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the Trustee in relation to the accuracy or

completeness of this Notice or any other written or oral information made available to any person

receiving this Notice or its advisers and any such liability is expressly disclaimed. This Notice is

made without prejudice to any and all of the Trustee's rights under the Conditions of the Notes and

the transaction documents relating to the Notes, all of which are expressly reserved.

ISIN: XS1887321518 COMMON CODE: 188732151

(the "Notes" or the "Series" and the holders thereof the "Noteholders")

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this notice shall have the meanings ascribed to

them in the Series Memorandum dated 3 October 2018 as supplemented on 24 April 2020 and the

Conditions of the Notes as the same may be amended and / or supplemented from time to time.

BACKGROUND

The Issuer used the entire net proceeds of the Notes make a loan (the "Loan") to Boulevard Costa

Sur S.A. (the "Borrower").

The Notes originally had a Maturity Date of 2 October 2020. Pursuant to an Extraordinary

Resolution of the Noteholders dated 8 April 2020, the Noteholders approved an extended maturity

date of 30 April 2021 ("First Extended Maturity Date"); and pursuant to an Extraordinary

Resolution of the Noteholders dated 29 June 2021, the Noteholders approved an extended maturity

date of 15 April 2022 ("Second Extended Maturity Date").

Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) provides that, unless previously redeemed or

purchased, the Notes will be redeemed by a payment in respect of each Note of the Redemption

Amount on the Final Maturity Payment Date save where Notes are redeemed pursuant to Condition

2.4.6. The Redemption Amount is defined as an amount equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the

Net Proceeds. The Special Condition also provides that no interest or other amount shall accrue or

be payable in respect of the Notes in respect of the period from and including the Extended

Maturity Date, to and including the Final Maturity Payment Date.

The calculation of the Net Proceeds is dependent on the determination of the Realisable Value.

The Realisable Value is defined as an amount determined by the Calculation Agent being the

proceeds of sale or other means of realisation of the Charged Assets less any costs, expenses, taxes

and duties incurred in connection with the disposal or transfer of the Charged Assets by the

Charged Assets Realisation Agent.

Subject to the Conditions, the Final Maturity Payment Date is defined as the date falling five (5)

Business Days following the day that the Issuer receives the aggregate Realisable Value pursuant

to Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount). It is also stipulated that the Final Maturity Payment

Date may be significantly later than the Extended Maturity Date (as was disclosed in the "Risk

Factors – Payments" in the Series Memorandum). Special Condition 5.11 (Events of Default)

provides that an Event of Default under Condition 4.1.1 shall occur if the Final Maturity Payment

Date does not occur within 90 days of the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Secured Term Loan Agreement, as amended and restated on 15 July 2021, the

Borrower became obliged to repay the entire unpaid Loan principal and all accrued and unpaid

interest thereon on 31 March 2022 (the "Loan Maturity Date"). In connection with the foregoing,

on 21 March 2022, the Borrower served written notice (the "Borrower Notice" attached hereto as

Appendix I) on the Issuer informing it that the Borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation to

pay in full accrued but unpaid interest and outstanding principal under the Secured Term Loan

Agreement on the Loan Maturity Date (being the same date as the Second Extended Maturity Date)

and that its operations and commercial efforts continue to be negatively affected as a result of the

COVID-19 pandemic. The Borrower Notice further provides that: (i) the Borrower is in ongoing

negotiations with potential third parties with the objective of securing financing for partial, or

complete, refinancing of the Loan; and (ii) if successful, the negotiations would provide funds for

a partial, or complete, payment of the Borrower's obligations under the Secured Term Loan

Agreement. However, the Borrower Notice also provides that the success of such negotiations is

not guaranteed and that even if successful, the procurement of funds allowing the Borrower to

meet its payment obligations under the Loan may exceed the 30 day Cure Period with respect to

the Loan Payment Failure (as defined below). Accordingly, the Borrower would be required to

consult with Noteholders for a new extension of the Loan and /or modifications to the Secured

Term Loan Agreement.

The Cure Period under Section 5.02 of the Loan commences from the earlier of (i) the Lender

notifying the Borrower of the relevant breach (in this case the Loan Payment failure, as defined

below) and (ii) the Borrower acquiring knowledge of said breach. The Borrower Notice evidences

the Borrower's knowledge of the relevant breach and so the Cure Period commenced on the date

that the Loan Payment Failure, as defined below, occurred.

The Issuer hereby gives notice to the Noteholders that the Borrower failed to make the scheduled

payment of the entire principal amount outstanding under the Loan, together with accrued but

unpaid interest, due on 31 March 2022 (the "Loan Payment Failure").

The Issuer hereby provides notice that:

1. The Notes will mature on the Second Extended Maturity Date of 15 April 2022.

2. The provisions of Special Condition 5.3 (Redemption Amount) apply so that the

Redemption Amount of the Notes will be paid on the Final Maturity Payment Date, which

may be significantly later than the Second Extended Maturity Date. However, if the Final

Maturity Payment Date does not occur within 90 days of the Second Extended Maturity

Date, it will be an Event of Default of the Notes.

3. As a result of the Borrower Notice, the Arranger will coordinate with the Issuer and

Borrower, in respect of the preparation of an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders

to extend the term of the Loan and the Notes.

This Notice has not been formulated by the Trustee who expresses no view on it and the Trustee

expresses no opinion as to the actions (if any) the Noteholders may take in respect of this Notice.

The information contained herein has not been independently verified by the Trustee and the

Trustee makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to Noteholders in

or pursuant to this Notice. In accordance with normal practice, the Trustee expresses no view as

to the truth, veracity, accuracy or completeness of the contents of this Notice. Accordingly, the

Trustee recommends that Noteholders consider seeking their own financial, tax, accounting,

investment and legal advice in respect of this Notice.

No responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the Trustee in relation to the accuracy or

completeness of this Notice or any other written or oral information made available to any person

receiving this Notice or its advisers and any such liability is expressly disclaimed. This Notice is

made without prejudice to any and all of the Trustee's rights under the Conditions of the Notes and
