(1) Upon the closing of Capital Product Partners L.P.’s (the “Issuer”) initial public offering on April 3, 2007 (the “Offering”) of common units (“Common Units”) representing limited partner interests in the Issuer, Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (“Capital Maritime”) beneficially owned 8,805,522 subordinated units of the Issuer. In addition, Capital Maritime owns 100% of Capital GP L.L.C., the general partner of the Issuer (the “General Partner”). The General Partner has a 2% general partner interest in the Issuer and incentive distribution rights, which represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions in excess of specified amounts. Capital Maritime is the indirect beneficial owner of the General Partner’s interest in the Issuer and its incentive distribution rights. The Marinakis family, including Evangelos M. Marinakis, through its beneficial ownership of Capital Maritime, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units held by Capital Maritime.

As described in the Issuer’s Amendments to Schedule 13D filed on April 30, 2008, February 26, 2009 and May 9, 2011, Capital Maritime increased these holdings such that it owned an aggregate of 18,262,651 Common Units as of September 29, 2011.

In connection with the acquisition of Crude Carriers Corp. (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the Issuer issued an aggregate of 24,967,240 Common Units to the shareholders of Crude Carriers Corp. as merger consideration. After the consummation of the Merger, in order for the General Partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Issuer, Capital Maritime made a capital contribution of 499,346 Common Units to the General Partner, which the General Partner then contributed to the Issuer in exchange for 499,346 general partner units (the Common Units contributed by the General Partner to the Issuer having subsequently been canceled).

(2) The percentages reported in this Schedule 13D are calculated using a denominator of 69,372,077, the sum of 44,904,183, or the number of Common Units reported outstanding prior to the consummation of the Merger on the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed on June 9, 2011, as amended, plus 24,967,240 Common Units issued in connection with the Merger, minus 499,346 Common Units contributed by Capital Maritime to the Issuer in order for the General Partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Issuer.
