Economou gives DryShips $60m in additional credit

George Economou provided another $60m in credit to DryShips and sold a chunk of preferred shares back to the company. The New York-listed shipowner's chief executive increased a revolving credit facility to $70m from $10m. The credit facility amendment extends the debt's maturity by a year to October 2019. It also cancels Economou's option to convert it into stock.
