The Notice describes the proposed Partial Settlements, how Settlement Class Members are affected by the Partial Settlements and the manner in which the PwC Greece Net Settlement Fund and the Deloitte Greece Net Settlement Fund will be distributed if the Partial Settlements and the PwC Greece Plan of Allocation and Deloitte Greece Plan of Allocation are approved by the Court. The Notice also contains the definitions of many of the defined terms (which are indicated by initial capital letters) used in this Claim Form. By signing and submitting this Claim Form, you will be certifying that you have read and that you understand the Notice, including the terms of the releases described therein and provided for herein.

2. This Claim Form is directed to all Persons who purchased or otherwise acquired (a) Aegean Marine Petroleum, Inc. (“Aegean”) common stock (Tickers: ANW, ANWWQ) (CINS: Y0017S102) (“Common Stock”); (b) Aegean Notes (“Notes”): Aegean 4.00% Convertible Unsecured Senior Notes due 11/1/2018 issued 10/23/2013 (CUSIP: Y0020QAA9, ISIN: USY0020QAA95) and/or Aegean 4.25% Convertible Unsecured Senior Notes due 12/15/2021 issued 12/19/2016 (CUSIP: 00773VAA4 (CUSIP changed to 00773VAB2 on 2/12/2018), ISIN: US00773VAB27); and/or (c) purchased call option contracts or sold put option contracts on Aegean Common Stock (collectively, “Aegean Securities”) during the period between February 27, 2014 through November 5, 2018, inclusive (the “Settlement Class Period”), and were allegedly damaged thereby (“Settlement Class”). Any Person who falls within the definition of the Settlement Class is referred to as a “Settlement Class Member.”

3. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) Defendants and any affiliates or subsidiaries of Defendants; (b) Persons who have been dismissed from this Action (“Dismissed Defendants”); (c) present or former officers, directors, partners or controlling persons as of April 30, 2018 of Aegean, its subsidiaries or its affiliates, any Defendant or any Dismissed Defendant, and their immediate family members; (d) the directors’ and officers’ liability carriers and any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof of any Defendant, Dismissed Defendant or Aegean; (e) any entity in which any Defendant, Dismissed Defendant or Aegean has or has had a controlling interest; and (f) the legal representatives, heirs, estates, agents, successors or assigns of any person or entity described in the preceding categories. Also excluded from the Settlement Class are those Persons who timely and validly exclude themselves therefrom by submitting a request for exclusion in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Notice.

4. If you are not a Settlement Class Member, do not submit a Claim Form. YOU MAY NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, PARTICIPATE IN THE SETTLEMENT IF YOU ARE NOT A SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER. THUS, IF YOU ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE CLASS (AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 3 ABOVE), ANY CLAIM FORM THAT YOU SUBMIT, OR THAT MAY BE SUBMITTED ON YOUR BEHALF, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

5. If you are a Settlement Class Member, you will be bound by the terms of any judgments or orders entered in the Action related to the PwC Greece Released Parties and/or the Deloitte Greece Released Parties WHETHER OR NOT YOU SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM, unless you submit a request for exclusion from the Settlement Class. Thus, if you are a Settlement Class Member and do not request exclusion from the Settlement Class, the Final Judgment with Prejudice Regarding PwC Greece will release, and enjoin the filing or continued prosecution of, the PwC Greece Released Claims against PwC Greece, the Dismissed Defendants PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the other PwC Greece Released Parties. And, if you are a Settlement Class Member and do not request exclusion from the Class, the Final Judgment with Prejudice Regarding Deloitte Greece will release, and enjoin the filing or continued prosecution of, the Deloitte Released Claims against Deloitte Greece, the Dismissed Defendants Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and the other Deloitte Released Parties.

6. You may be eligible to participate in the distribution of the PwC Greece Net Settlement Fund and/or the Deloitte Greece Net Settlement Fund as described herein only if you are a member of the Settlement Class and if you complete and return this Claim Form as specified herein. If you fail to submit a timely, properly addressed, and completed Claim Form with the required documentation, your Claim may be rejected, and you may be precluded from receiving any distribution from the PwC Greece Net Settlement Fund and the Deloitte Greece Net Settlement Fund.

7. Submission of this Claim Form does not guarantee that you will share in the proceeds of the Partial Settlements. The distribution of the PwC Greece Net Settlement Fund and the Deloitte Greece Net Settlement Fund will be governed by the PwC Greece Plan of Allocation and the Deloitte Greece Plan of Allocation set forth in the Notice, if it is approved by the Court, or by such other plan of allocation approved by the Court.

8. Use the Schedule of Transactions of this Claim Form to supply all required details of your transaction(s) in and holdings of Aegean Securities. On the Schedule of Transactions, please provide all of the requested information with respect to your holdings, purchases, acquisitions, and sales of Aegean Securities, whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. Failure to report all transaction and holding information during the requested time periods may result in the rejection of your Claim.

9. Please note: To be eligible to receive a distribution under the Deloitte Greece Plan of Allocation, you must be a Settlement Class Member and have purchased or otherwise acquired Aegean Securities (or sold Aegean put options) during the Settlement Class Period. To be eligible to receive a distribution under the PwC Greece Plan of Allocation, you must be a Settlement Class Member and have purchased or otherwise acquired Aegean Securities (or sold Aegean put options) between May 17, 2017 and November 5, 20182.

10. You are required to submit genuine and sufficient documentation for all of your transactions and holdings of Aegean Securities set forth in the Schedule of Transactions in Part III of this Claim Form. Documentation may consist of copies of brokerage confirmation slips or monthly brokerage account statements or an authorized statement from your broker containing the transactional and holding information found in a broker confirmation slip or account statement. The Settling Parties and the Claims Administrator do not independently have information about your investments in Aegean Securities. IF SUCH DOCUMENTS ARE NOT IN YOUR POSSESSION, PLEASE OBTAIN COPIES OR EQUIVALENT CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTS FROM YOUR BROKER. FAILURE TO SUPPLY THIS DOCUMENTATION MAY RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF YOUR CLAIM. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. Please keep a copy of all documents that you send to the Claims Administrator. Also, please do not highlight any portion of the Claim Form or any supporting documents .

11. One Claim Form should be submitted for each separate legal entity or separately managed account. Separate Claim Forms should be submitted for each separate legal entity (e.g., an individual should not combine his or her IRA holdings and transactions with holdings and transactions made solely in the individual’s name). Generally, a single Claim Form should be submitted on behalf of one legal entity including all holdings and transactions made by that entity on one Claim Form. However, if a single person or legal entity had multiple accounts that were separately managed, separate Claim Forms may be submitted for each such account. The Claims Administrator reserves the right to request information on all the holdings and transactions in Aegean Securities made on behalf of a single beneficial owner.

12. All joint beneficial owners must sign this Claim Form. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Aegean Securities (or sold Aegean put options) and held the securities in your name, you are the beneficial owner as well as the record owner and you must sign this Claim Form to participate in the Settlement. If, however, you purchased or otherwise acquired Aegean Securities (or sold Aegean put options) and the securities were registered in the name of a third party, such as a nominee or brokerage firm, you are the beneficial owner of these securities, but the third party is the record owner. The beneficial owner, not the record owner, must sign this Claim Form.

13. Agents, executors, administrators, guardians and trustees must complete and sign the Claim Form on behalf of persons represented by them, and they must:

(a) expressly state the capacity in which they are acting;
(b) identify the name, account number, Social Security Number (or Taxpayer Identification Number), address and telephone number of the beneficial owner of (or other person or entity on whose behalf they are acting with respect to) the Aegean Securities; and
(c) furnish herewith evidence of their authority to bind to the Claim Form the person or entity on whose behalf they are acting. (Authority to complete and sign a Claim Form cannot be established by stockbrokers demonstrating only that they have discretionary authority to trade stock in another person’s accounts.)

14. By submitting a signed Claim Form, you will be swearing that you:

(a) own(ed) the Aegean Securities you have listed in the Claim Form; or
(b) are expressly authorized to act on behalf of the owner thereof.

15. By submitting a signed Claim Form, you will be swearing to the truth of the statements contained therein and the genuineness of the documents attached thereto, subject to penalties of perjury under the laws of the United States of America. The making of false statements, or the submission of forged or fraudulent documentation, will result in the rejection of your Claim and may subject you to civil liability or criminal prosecution.

16. If the Court approves either or both the Partial Settlements, all payments to eligible Authorized Claimants pursuant to the PwC Greece Plan of Allocation and/or the Deloitte Greece Plan of Allocation (or such other plan of allocation as the Court approves at a later time) will be made after the completion of all Claims processing. This could take substantial time. Please be patient.

17. PLEASE NOTE: As set forth in the PwC Greece Plan of Allocation and the Deloitte Greece Plan of Allocation, each Authorized Claimant shall receive his, her or its pro rata share of the PwC Greece Net Settlement Fund and/or the Deloitte Greece Net Settlement Fund. If the prorated payment to any Authorized Claimant, however, calculates to less than $10.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to that Authorized Claimant.

18. If you have questions concerning the Claim Form, you may contact the Claims Administrator, A.B. Data, Ltd., by email at info@aegeansecuritieslitigation.com, or by toll-free phone at 1-877-888-9760, or you may download the documents from the Settlement website, www.aegeansecuritieslitigation.com.
