On October 2, 2025, Costamare Inc. announced the election of two Class III directors—Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos and Charlotte Stratos—at its virtual annual meeting of stockholders held today. The newly elected directors will serve until the next annual meeting in 2028, extending their terms for a full five‑year period. This change expands the board’s expertise and enhances governance oversight for the company’s containership chartering and leasing operations.
In addition to the board appointments, the company ratified Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors Accountants S.A. as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31 2025. The appointment confirms the firm’s ongoing commitment to rigorous financial reporting and compliance with U.S. SEC requirements. The selection of a reputable audit partner reinforces investor confidence in Costamare’s financial statements and internal controls.
These governance updates are material because they directly influence the company’s strategic direction and audit quality. A refreshed board can bring new perspectives on fleet expansion, leasing initiatives, and capital allocation, while a trusted auditor ensures transparency and credibility of financial disclosures. Together, the changes position Costamare to navigate market dynamics and support shareholder value creation.
