Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Securities Acts. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current views with respect to
future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals,
strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other
than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based upon various
assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation,
management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available
from third parties. Although Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. believes that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which
are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. cannot assure you that
it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the
strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charterhire rates
and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and
unscheduled drydocking, changes in our vessel operating expenses, including dry-docking and insurance costs,
or actions taken by regulatory authorities, ability of our counterparties to perform their obligations under sales
agreements, charter contracts, and other agreements on a timely basis, potential liability from future litigation,
domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and
political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by Eagle Bulk
Shipping Inc. with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Grains to contribute to 2H 2010 Supramax Earnings
§ China’s improving standard of living is leading to
 increased demand for meat and dairy products:
 § Urban household incomes up 10% y/y.
 Leading to:
 § Meat product and dairy demand expected to
 grow at 7% and 10% per annum,
 respectively, for the next 5 years.
 § Increasing feedstock required to meet
 this growing demand.
 § China imports over 50% of the world’s
 soybean exports, demand growth
 expected at 8% per annum for the next
 three years.
 § Corn demand expected to grow 5% per
 annum for the next five years.
2010 Wheat Trade
Source: Cargill, Clarksons, JPM
§ Severe drought in the Baltic Sea region
 has forced Russia to ban wheat exports
 until December 31 2010.
 § U.S.D.A. predicts record harvest
 for the year.
§ Supply substitution will result in
 increased ton-mile demand.
 § Supramaxes have replaced
 Panamaxes as prime beneficiary
 on U.S. grain trade.
§ BHP Billiton’s bid for Potash
 Corporation highlights the positive long-
 term fundamentals for fertilizer, a key
 requirement for meat and plant
 production.

Other Factors Affecting Drybulk
Congestion:
 § Inadequate port and in-land
 infrastructure will continue to soak-up
 tonnage in the market.
 § Increasing global fleet will compete
 for drydock services resulting in
 bottlenecks/delays which will in-turn
 affect utilization.
Source: Clarksons, Peabody
Intra-China Seaborne Coal Trade Routes
Supramax Congestion Calculator
-One vessel > 9 voyages per year.
-Nine voyages = 18 ports of call.
-Assume 3 days delay per vessel for load/discharge
-18 ports of call * 3 delay days= 54 delay days
-54 delay days * 755 vessels= 40,770 total delay days
-40,770 delay days / 365 =
= 111 vessels (14.8% of fleet) per annum
§ This hidden demand is expected to reach 480m MT
 in 2010, representing an additional 50% to reported
 international seaborne coal trade volumes.

Vessel expenses are comprised of the following items: crew wages and related, insurance, repair and maintenance, stores, spares, and
related inventory, tonnage taxes, newbuilding pre-operating costs (associated with taking delivery of vessels). Eagle anticipates higher
costs relating to crewing and oil based supplies, including lubes and paints. The Company makes an allowance for drydocking
constraints (i.e. decreased drydock capacity drives up costs).
