Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On February 25, 2016 the reporting person vested in these 66,666.6 performance restricted stock units which were previously granted pursuant to the Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. ("OSG") Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). These performance restricted stock units represent vesting in respect of one-third of that grant which vests in three tranches in amounts determined at the end of 2015, 2016 and 2017. These performance restricted stock units do not have voting rights and may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of until they settle. Settlement of these units may be either in shares of Class A Common Stock or cash, as determined by the Compensation Committee of OSG's Board of Directors. Settlement of the units shall occur as soon as practicable following the Compensation Committee's certification of the achievement of the applicable performance measures and targets for 2017 and in any event no later than April 30, 2018.
(2) As previously reported, on March 12, 2015 OSG granted the reporting person pursuant to the Plan 359,712 options to purchase 359,712 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share which became exercisable on the first, second and third anniversary of March 2, 2015. On December 17, 2015, OSG paid a stock dividend of one share of Class A Common Stock for every ten shares of Class A Common Stock owned. As a result of the stock dividend, the stock options are exercisable for 410,197 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.85 per share. These adjustments were made so that the value of the options before the stock dividend would be the same after the stock dividend. The vesting schedule remains unchanged.
