LPG Major Trades

10

Seaborne LPG trade up 10% in 2012 driven by demand from emerging economies: increasing

consumption vs limited production capacity is offering bright prospects for the future in these countries.

Low prices for LPG products lead importing nations to fill up stocks; Asian imports expected to rise up

by 12% for 2012, contributing to 90% of growth rate in LPG seaborne trade.

Page 12: StealthGas Q3 2012 results presentation

LPG Major Trades

11

New prospects in the US for oil and natural gas output growth are expected to change regional dynamics and future seaborne global energy flows in the next decades to come.

Positive news for pressurized owners, USCG confirm that pressure vessels type tanks based on IGC Code stress factors are acceptable (18 bars instead of 12,75). Hence, it will be possible for pressurized owners to load Propane in the US. This can lead to several smaller export terminals being developed in the US based on less expensive and quicker to build pressurized terminals especially for the Caribbean market which to a great extent have pressurized receiving terminals.

The Middle East remained the main

supplier and the single largest

contributor to growth in total LPG

exports in 2012, with LPG supply for

Middle East exports expected to increase

by 12%.

2/3 of our fleet operates in the Far East, while the rest usually operates in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, North West Europe and Latin America.

An overloaded orderbook in mainstream segments But not in the LPG space

* Includes all LPG Carriers size categories

14

LPG orderbook still remains smaller than other shipping segments with a limited fleet

growth of pressurized vessels for 2012 and a negative fleet growth from 2013 onwards.

StealthGas is in a position to take advantage of positive market dynamics.

Valuations comparison

Based on Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Seaborne Capital Advisors April 2012. For StealthGas, based on company’s estimates. 15

Company P/NAV

GASLOG (GLOG) 128.4%

GOLAR LNG (GNLG) 159%

SCORPIO TANKERS (STNG) 175%

Shipping companies listed in the US listed operating in different sectors such as gas, tankers and drybulk,

are trading above net asset values. Although there may be a variety of reasons for that, we believe there are

no other US listed company operating in a sector that has better fundamentals than our LPG sector; and yet

our stock continues to trade far below our net asset value.
