EXHIBIT INDEX

Monaco, June 14, 2021 – Costamare Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: CMRE) announced today the acquisition of 16 dry bulk vessels (the “Transaction”) of between 33,000 and 85,000 DWT, with an average age of 10 years. The vessels are currently operating in the spot market. Two of the ships have been delivered with the rest of the vessels expected to be delivered by January 2022. The dry bulk vessels were privately acquired, or committed to be acquired, from various third-party counterparties during the months of May and June 2021 by entities affiliated with the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos. The Company has agreed to acquire these vessels from Mr. Konstantakopoulos at cost with no mark-up or premium payable to Mr. Konstantakopoulos or his affiliated entities. Mr. Konstantakopoulos will not receive a profit as a result of the Transaction. In addition, Mr. Konstantakopoulos has agreed to restrict his activities in the dry bulk sector in order to reduce or eliminate the possibility that Mr. Konstantakopoulos’s activities in the sector will compete with the Company’s moving forward.

The Audit Committee of the Company, comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors, reviewed the Transaction and unanimously recommended that the Board of Directors of the Company approve the Transaction.

The dry bulk vessels acquired in the Transaction will be managed under management agreements and same per-vessel fees as those that currently apply to the Company’s containerships.
