The election of directors (Proposal 1), the advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3) and the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 4) are considered non-routine matters under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore broker non-votes may exist in connection with such proposal.

DORIAN LPG LTD.

Stamford, Connecticut 06902
PROXY STATEMENT

PROXY SOLICITATION AND VOTING INFORMATION
The Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Dorian LPG Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Dorian”) solicits your proxy for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 2:00 PM EDT on October 28, 2020 at the offices of Dorian, located at 27 Signal Road, Stamford, CT 06902, and for any adjournment or postponement of the meeting, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”).
Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting and Voting
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. This Proxy Statement is being sent to all of our shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 22, 2020 for use at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement, the enclosed proxy card and our 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders are being first mailed or made available to our shareholders on or about September 30, 2020.
Our shareholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote by completing, signing, dating and returning a proxy card or by executing a proxy via the Internet or by telephone.
What am I voting on?
You will be voting on each of the following:

	•	to elect two directors to serve on our Board until the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders;	

	•	to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021;	

	•	to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;	

	•	to recommend, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers; and	

	•	to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.	
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other matters that will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If you return your signed and completed proxy card or vote by telephone or over the Internet and other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the persons appointed as proxies will have the discretion to vote for you.
Who is soliciting my vote?
In this Proxy Statement, our Board of Directors is soliciting your vote for matters being submitted for shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
Giving us your proxy means that you authorize the proxy holders identified on the proxy card to vote your shares at the meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for all, some or none of our director nominees. You may also abstain from voting. If you sign and return the enclosed proxy card but do not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors, including in favor our nominees for re-election to the Board. If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the persons named as proxies in the enclosed proxy card will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.
5

How does the Board of Directors recommend shareholders vote?
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote using the proxy card:

	•	FOR the re-election of the following two individuals nominated by the Board of Directors for re-election as directors: Thomas J. Coleman and Christina Tan;	

	•	FOR ratification of the appointment of Deloitte Certified Public Accountants S.A. (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending March 31, 2021;	

	•	FOR the approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement; and	

	•	For the approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of TWO YEARS as the frequency of future advisory shareholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.	
How do I vote?
You may vote using one of the following methods:

	•	Over the Internet.  If you have access to the Internet, we encourage you to vote in this manner. You may submit proxies over the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card or the voting instruction card sent to you by your bank, broker, trustee or nominee.	

	•	By telephone.  You may vote by telephone by calling the number listed on your proxy card or the voting instructions card sent to you by your bank, broker, trustee or nominee.	

	•	By mail.  Shareholders of record who have received a paper copy of a proxy card by mail may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy card and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope. Shareholders who are beneficial owners who have received a voting instruction card from their bank, broker, trustee or nominee may return the voting instruction card by mail as set forth on the card.	

	•	In person at the Annual Meeting.  Shareholders of record may vote shares held in their name in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares for which a shareholder is the beneficial holder but not the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting only if such shareholder is able to obtain a legal proxy from the bank, broker, trustee or nominee that holds the shareholder’s shares, indicating that the shareholder was the beneficial holder as of the record date and the number of shares for which the shareholder was the beneficial owner on the record date. Even if you plan to be present at the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting date via the Internet, by telephone or by mail in order to record your vote promptly, as we believe voting this way is convenient.	
Shareholders are encouraged to vote their proxies by Internet, telephone or by mail, but not by more than one method. If you vote by more than one method, or vote multiple times using the same method, only the last-dated vote that is received by the independent inspector of election will be counted, and each previous vote will be disregarded. Please follow the directions on these materials carefully.
Will my shares be voted if I do nothing?
If you do nothing, your shares will NOT be voted for all proposals. If you are a shareholder of record, you must sign and return a proxy card, submit your proxy by telephone or Internet, or attend the Annual Meeting in person, in order for your shares to be voted. If you are a beneficial owner of shares and your shares are held in “street name,” your bank, broker, trustee or nominee will not be able to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting on “non-routine matters,” as defined by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), unless you instruct them as to how you want your shares to be voted. The NYSE currently considers only the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 to be a routine matter. If a brokerage firm votes your shares on a routine matter in accordance with these rules, your shares will count as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and will count as “FOR” votes or “AGAINST” votes, as the case may be, depending on how the broker votes.  If a brokerage firm signs and returns a proxy on your behalf that does not contain voting instructions, your shares will count as present at the Annual Meeting for quorum
6

purposes and will be voted “FOR” ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, but will not count as a “FOR” vote for any other matter, including the election of directors.
If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in street name, your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card with this Proxy Statement. We strongly encourage you to vote your shares by following the instructions provided on the voting instruction card in order to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the meeting.
How do I know if I am a beneficial owner of shares?
If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, trust, or other similar organization, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a “voting instructions form.” If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voting instructions form.
How can I revoke my proxy?
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by taking one of the following actions:

	•	by giving written notice of the revocation prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting to: Corporate Secretary, Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902;	

	•	by executing and delivering another valid proxy with a later date;	

	•	by voting by telephone or Internet at a later date; or	

	•	by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person by written ballot, if you are a shareholder of record or, if you are a beneficial owner of your shares, with a legal proxy from the entity that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.	
If you are a beneficial owner of your shares and you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or nominee in accordance with that entity’s procedures.
If you vote the same shares by more than one method or vote multiple times with respect to the same shares using the same method, only the last-dated vote that is received will be counted, and each previous vote will be disregarded.
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
Only shareholders of Dorian as of the close of business on the record date, September 22, 2020, their authorized representatives and invited guests of Dorian will be permitted to attend the Annual Meeting. In order to gain admission to the Annual Meeting, proof of ownership of Dorian common stock as of the record date (or a valid proxy for a shareholder of Dorian entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting) will be required, along with government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. Beneficial owners holding stock in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization (“street name” holders) will need to bring proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as an account statement or a letter from a broker, along with government-issued photo identification.
Who is entitled to vote?
All of our shareholders as of the record date, September 22, 2020, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on that date, approximately 51,021,436 of our common shares were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each common share is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the meeting. Our articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), do not provide for cumulative voting and, accordingly, our shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors. The common shares held in our treasury, which are not considered outstanding, will not be voted.
7

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?
In order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting, the shareholders representing at least one-third of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of September 22, 2020 must be present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you do one of the following:

	•	vote via the Internet or by telephone;	

	•	return a properly executed proxy by mail (even if you do not provide voting instructions); or	

	•	attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.	
If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting or, even if a quorum is present and sufficient votes in favor of the positions recommended by our Board of Directors on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement are not timely received, a majority of the total number of votes represented by those shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting will have the power to adjourn the meeting. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned for reasons other than a lack of quorum, no further notice of the adjourned meeting will be required to permit further solicitation of proxies, other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting, unless a new record date for the Annual Meeting is set.
What are broker non-votes?
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee that holds our common stock for a beneficial owner returns a proxy to us but cannot vote the shares it holds as to a particular matter because it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the matter to be voted on is not “routine” under the NYSE rules.
What vote is required to adopt each of the proposals?
Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each of the two director nominees and one vote on each other matter.
Proposal 1. Election of Directors.  As set forth in Article I of our Articles of Incorporation, directors will be elected by a plurality of votes cast by holders entitled to vote in the election. This means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I directors. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may not vote with respect to this proposal. Accordingly, if you do not hold your shares directly in your own name, for your vote to be counted, you must submit your voting instructions to your broker or custodian. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions have no effect on whether any director has been elected.
Proposal 2. Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.  As set forth in Section 7 of Article II of our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte by the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Even if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may vote your shares with respect to this proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” whether this proposal has been approved.  Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this proposal.
Proposal 3. Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers. As set forth in Section 7 of Article II of our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Because Proposal 3 is a nonbinding, advisory vote, it will not be binding on us or on our Board of Directors. However, we value highly the opinions expressed by our shareholders in this advisory vote, and our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for overseeing and administering our executive compensation programs, will consider the outcome of the vote when designing our compensation programs and making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not included as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of Proposal 3.
8

Proposal 4. Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Shareholder Advisory Votes on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers.  With respect to Proposal 4 to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation, shareholders will be able to choose among four options, namely whether future shareholder votes to approve executive compensation should occur every year, every two years or every three years, or whether the shareholder abstains from voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting in favor of one of the voting options contemplated by Proposal 4 is required to approve, on an advisory basis, Proposal 4. If one of the voting options is not adopted by the required vote of the shareholders, our Board of Directors will evaluate the votes cast for each of the voting options and will deem the voting option receiving the greatest number of votes to be the voting option recommended by the shareholders.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not included as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of Proposal 4.

Who counts the votes?
Tabulation of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be conducted by the inspectors of election.
When will the voting results be announced?
We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final results on our website at www.dorianlpg.com and in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a Form 8-K.
How can I access the proxy materials on the Internet?
You may access our Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, as amended, via the Internet at www.dorianlpg.com under the heading “Investor Center—Corporate Governance—Annual Meeting of Shareholders.” For next year’s shareholders’ meeting, you can potentially help us save significant printing and mailing expenses by consenting to access the proxy statement, proxy card and annual report to shareholders electronically over the Internet. If you hold your shares in your own name (instead of through a broker, bank or other nominee), you can choose this option by following the instructions at the Internet website at www.investorvote.com/LPG. Subject to applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, if you choose to receive your proxy materials and annual report to shareholders electronically, then prior to next year’s shareholders’ meeting you will receive notification when the proxy materials and annual report to shareholders are available for online review over the Internet, as well as instructions for voting electronically over the Internet. Your choice for electronic distribution will remain in effect for subsequent meetings unless you revoke such choice prior to future meetings by revoking your request online or by sending a written request to: Corporate Secretary, Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.
A COPY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020, AS AMENDED, WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO CORPORATE SECRETARY, DORIAN LPG LTD., C/O DORIAN LPG (USA) LLC, 27 SIGNAL ROAD, STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT 06902.

	•	By Internet—Shareholders of record may submit proxies over the Internet by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card.	

	•	By Telephone—Shareholders of record may vote by telephone by calling the number listed on the enclosed proxy card.

	•	In Person—Shareholders of record may vote shares held in their name in person at the Annual Meeting; however, attendance at the Annual Meeting without casting a ballot will not count as a vote.	
Beneficial owners of shares (shareholders who own their shares in the name of a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee on the books of our transfer agent) may generally vote their shares or submit a proxy to have their shares voted by one of the following methods, as indicated on the voting instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker, trustee or nominee:

	•	By Internet or Telephone—Beneficial owners may generally vote their shares over the Internet or by telephone, as indicated on your voting instruction card. Please refer to your voting instruction card or other information forwarded by your bank, broker, trustee or nominee to determine whether you may submit a proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone, following the instructions on the voting instruction card or other information provided by the record holder.	

	•	By Mail—You may vote your shares by completing, signing and dating your voting instruction card and returning it in the envelope provided.	

	•	In Person with a Proxy from the Record Holder—Shares for which a shareholder is the beneficial holder but not the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting only if such shareholder is able to obtain a legal proxy from the bank, broker, trustee or nominee that holds the shareholder's shares, with such legal proxy indicating that the shareholder was the beneficial holder as of the record date and the number of shares for which the shareholder was the beneficial owner on the record date.	
Shareholders are encouraged to vote their proxies by Internet, telephone or completing, signing, dating and returning a proxy card, but not by more than one method. If you vote by more than one method, or vote multiple times using the same method, only the last-dated vote that is received by the vote tabulator will be counted, and each previous vote will be disregarded.
If you receive more than one set of proxy materials or more than one proxy card, it may mean that you hold shares of Dorian stock in more than one account. You must return a proxy card or vote using one of the methods described above for each account in which you own shares.
Revoking Your Vote
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by taking one of the following actions:

	•	by giving written notice of the revocation prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting to: Corporate Secretary, Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902;	

	•	by executing and delivering another valid proxy with a later date;	

	•	by voting by telephone or Internet at a later date; or	
10

	•	by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person by written ballot, if you are a shareholder of record or, if you are a beneficial owner of your shares, with a legal proxy from the entity that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.	
If you are a beneficial owner of your shares and you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or nominee in accordance with that entity’s procedures.
Vote Required for Approval
The presence, represented in person or by proxy, of one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of Dorian common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Brokers holding shares for beneficial owners must vote their shares according to the specific instructions they receive from their owners. If specific instructions are not received, brokers may not vote these shares, other than on matters that the NYSE considers to be “routine.” If a brokerage firm votes a beneficial holder’s shares on a routine matter without receiving voting instructions, these shares are counted both for establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting and in determining the number of shares voted for or against the routine matter. At the Annual Meeting, only the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 is considered a routine matter.
The votes required to approve each matter to be considered by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting are set forth below:

	•	Proposal 1—Election of Directors:  Each Dorian shareholder has the right to vote each share of stock owned by such shareholder on the record date for two director nominees to be elected. Cumulative voting is not permitted. To be elected, a director-nominee must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the two nominees standing in the election who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast for such purposes and therefore will have no effect on the results of the election.	

	•	Proposal 2—Ratification of Selection of Deloitte:  The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal is required to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.	

	•	Proposal 3—Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers:  The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Because Proposal 3 is a nonbinding, advisory vote, it will not be binding on us or on our Board of Directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not included as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of Proposal 3.	

	•	Proposal 4—Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Shareholder Advisory Votes on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers:  The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting in favor of one of the voting options contemplated by Proposal 4 is required to approve, on an advisory basis, Proposal 4. If one of the voting options is not adopted by the required vote of the shareholders, our Board of Directors will evaluate the votes cast for each of the voting options and will deem the voting option receiving the greatest number of votes to be the voting option approved by the shareholders.  Abstentions and broker non-votes are not included as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of Proposal 4	
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights
Our shareholders will not have rights of appraisal or similar dissenters’ rights with respect to any of the matters identified in this Proxy Statement to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.
11

Expenses of Solicitation
We pay all costs of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the Notice, Proxy Statement and proxies. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made personally, by telephone or by other electronic means. We may pay the expenses of persons holding shares for others to send proxy materials to their principals. While we presently intend that solicitations will be made only by directors, officers and employees of the Company, we may retain outside solicitors to assist in the solicitation of proxies.  Any expenses incurred in connection with the use of outside solicitors will be paid by us.
Householding
To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to our shareholders, we are relying on the SEC rules that permit us to deliver only one set of proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement, our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 and the Notice, to multiple shareholders who share an address unless we receive contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” reduces duplicate mailings, thus saving printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. Each shareholder retains a separate right to vote on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you wish to receive a separate copy of the annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 or other proxy materials free of charge, or if you wish to receive separate copies of future annual reports or proxy materials, please send your request by email to IR@dorianlpg.com or by mail to Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902, attention: Investor Relations, or call us at (203) 674-9900.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, each class of directors consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors. The total number of directors on the Board may be fixed from time to time by a vote of not less than two-thirds of the number of directors constituting the Board, excluding vacancies. Additionally, the Board is authorized to fill any vacancy on the Board, including directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors, by a majority vote of the directors then in office. By the requisite vote, the size of our Board of Directors was set at ten directors effective May 1, 2015 and has since been reduced to seven directors effective January 26, 2016.
Each director is elected to serve for a three-year term and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, except in the event of his or her death, resignation, removal or earlier termination of his or her term of office. The terms of our Class II and III directors will expire in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and the term of our Class I directors will expire at the Annual Meeting.
Our Class I directors, whose terms expire at this year’s Annual Meeting, are currently Thomas J. Coleman and Christina Tan. Mr. Coleman and Ms. Tan were re-elected at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2017. Mr. Coleman has served on our Board since our formation in July 2013 and Ms. Tan was appointed by the Board to serve as a director effective May 1, 2015. Upon recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”), our Board has nominated Mr. Coleman and Ms. Tan for re-election as Class I directors to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2023.

Mr. McAvity and Mr. Hadjipateras were re-elected at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.
Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any current director, or nominee for directorship, pursuant to which such director or nominee was selected as a director or nominee.
If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for the election of such substitute nominee as may be designated by the Board in accordance with Article I of our Articles of Incorporation to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the election of our two nominees listed below, Mr. Coleman and Ms. Tan.
The Board believes that each of the two nominees listed below are highly qualified and have experience, skills, backgrounds and attributes that qualify them to serve as directors of Dorian (please see each nominee’s biographical information presented below). The recommendation of the Board is based on its carefully considered judgment that the experience, skills, backgrounds and attributes of our nominees make them the best candidates to serve on our Board.

BOARD MEETINGS AND BOARD COMMITTEE INFORMATION
Meetings
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Board of Directors held a total of four meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings) and acted six times via unanimous written consent. In that fiscal year, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board held during the period for which they were directors and the committees on which they served. Our directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, with those directors unable to attend expected to notify the Chairman of the Board in advance. Five directors then in office attended our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. From time to time, the Board may create special committees to address specific matters such as financial or corporate transactions.
Committees and Committee Charters
Our Board of Directors has established the following standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board may, in the future, establish such other committees as it determines from time to time. The charter of each of these committees is available on our website at http://www.dorianlpg.com/investor-center/corporate-governance/. You may also request printed copies of the charter(s) by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the cover of this Proxy Statement.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), currently consists of Messrs. Lorentzen and Kalborg and Ms. Tan, with Mr. Lorentzen serving as its chairperson. The Audit Committee meets a minimum of four times a year, and periodically meets with the Company’s management, internal auditors and independent external auditors separately from the Board. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Audit Committee held four meetings and acted once via unanimous written consent.
Under the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in overseeing the quality of the Company’s financial statements and its financial reporting practices. To that end, the Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, replacement, compensation, retention, termination and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to prepare an audit report, to perform other audits and to perform review or attest services for us. The Audit Committee confers directly with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also assesses the outside auditors’ qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee acts on behalf of the Board in reviewing the scope of the audit of the Company’s financial statements and results thereof. Our Chief Financial Officer has direct access to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also oversees the operation of our internal controls covering the integrity of our financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies, and the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm. Based on this oversight, the Audit Committee advises the Board on the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls, accounting systems, financial reporting practices and the maintenance of the Company’s books and records. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining whether any waiver of our Code of Ethics will be permitted and for reviewing and determining whether to approve any related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Annually, the Audit Committee recommends that the Board request shareholder ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. The responsibilities and activities of the Audit Committee are further described in “Report of the Audit Committee” and the Audit Committee charter.
Our Board of Directors has determined that the Audit Committee consists entirely of directors who meet the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Company’s financial statements to serve on the Audit Committee and is financially literate within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards as interpreted by the Board. The Board has further determined that Messrs. Lorentzen and Kalborg and Ms. Tan satisfy the definition of "audit committee financial expert" as defined under federal securities laws. See also Corporate Governance Matters—Director Independence.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Coleman, Kalborg and McAvity, with Mr. Coleman serving as its chairperson. The Compensation Committee meets as often as it deems necessary. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee held one meeting and acted once via unanimous written consent.
18

Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee determines the annual compensation of all executive officers of the Company, and reports its determinations to the Board. The scope of the Compensation Committee’s oversight includes all matters related to the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee is also charged in particular with reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluating both officers’ performance in light of those goals, and determining and approving both officers’ compensation based on the evaluation. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves employment agreements, compensation involving family members, severance agreements, change of control agreements and other similar agreements relating to executive officers, and makes general recommendations to the Board on the Company’s compensation philosophy.
While the Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for executive compensation matters, as specified in its charter, the Compensation Committee reports regularly to the Board summarizing any significant issues considered by the Compensation Committee and any action it has taken. The Board may delegate other responsibilities and duties to the Compensation Committee from time to time, and the Compensation Committee may undertake other responsibilities as it deems appropriate for it to carry out its purpose under its charter.
The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain and terminate compensation consultants, legal counsel or other advisors to the Compensation Committee and to approve the engagement of any such consultant, counsel or advisor, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate after specifically analyzing the independence of any such consultant retained by the Compensation Committee.
Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Coleman, Kalborg and McAvity meet the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards, including the additional independence requirements applicable to the members of a compensation committee. The Board has specifically considered all factors relevant to determining whether any of Messrs. Coleman, Kalborg or McAvity has a relationship to us which is material to his ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Director Nominations
Role of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. McAvity and Coleman and Ms. Tan, with Mr. McAvity serving as its chairperson. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets as often as it deems necessary. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting and acted once via unanimous written consent.
Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in reviewing and identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, as consistent with the criteria established by the Board for director candidates in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and recommends to the Board nominees to fill vacancies on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations from time to time regarding the size of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also periodically evaluates and makes recommendations regarding corporate governance guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”). See “Corporate Governance Matters—Corporate Governance Guidelines.” The responsibilities and activities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are further described in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter. The Board may assign other duties to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from time to time as necessary.
Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Coleman and McAvity and Ms. Tan meet the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
Director Nomination Process
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding candidates to be nominated for directorship positions through consideration of proposals from a number of sources, including shareholder proposals. When considering a person to be recommended for nomination as a director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses, among other factors, experience, accomplishments, education, skills, personal and professional integrity, diversity of the Board (in all aspects of that term) and the candidate’s ability to devote the necessary time for service as a director (including directorships and other positions held at other corporations and organizations).
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has no stated policy on director diversity. However, the Board reviews diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, accomplishments, education and skills when evaluating nominees. The Board believes that such diversity is important because it provides varied perspectives and promotes active and constructive discussion among Board members and between the Board and management, resulting in more effective oversight of
19

management’s formulation and implementation of strategic initiatives. The Board believes this diversity is demonstrated in the range of experiences, qualifications and skills of the current members of the Board. In the Board’s executive sessions and in annual performance evaluations conducted by the Board and its committees, the Board from time to time considers whether the Board’s composition promotes a constructive and collegial environment. In determining whether an incumbent director should stand for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the above factors, as well as that director’s personal and professional integrity, attendance, preparedness, participation and candor, the individual’s satisfaction of the criteria for the nomination of directors set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and other relevant factors as determined by the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee welcomes the Company’s shareholders to nominate candidates for Board membership. The Committee will consider any such nominee in the same manner in which it evaluates other potential nominees, so long as the shareholder (i) submits a notice of nomination within the timeframe specified by Article III, Section 3 of the Company’s bylaws to the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902 and (ii) includes in its notice the required information specified by said section of the Company’s bylaws. Further information about the time frame for shareholder proposals can be found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under “Shareholder Proposals.” A summary of the information that must appear in the notice is set forth below.
The written notice should contain the following information about the proposed nominee:

	•	the proposed nominee’s name, age, business address and residence address;	

	•	the proposed nominee’s principal occupation or employment;	

	•	the number of shares of capital stock of the Company owned beneficially or of record by the proposed nominee; and	

	•	any other information relating to the proposed nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors by rules and regulations applicable to the Company.

During our last fiscal year, Messrs. Coleman, Kalborg and McAvity served on the Compensation Committee. Each of them is not, nor have any of them ever been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during the last fiscal year, no executive officer of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or our Compensation Committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Dorian LPG Ltd. (the “Company”), the Audit Committee oversees the operation of the Company’s system of internal controls in respect of the integrity of its financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies, and the qualifications, performance and independence of its independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s function is one of oversight, recognizing that the Company’s management is responsible for preparing its financial statements, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements.
Consistent with this oversight responsibility, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020 and management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020.
The Audit Committee has also discussed with Deloitte Certified Public Accountants S.A. (“Deloitte”), the independent registered public accounting firm, the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020, and the other matters required to be discussed by the Auditing Standard 1301. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures in the letter from Deloitte required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Deloitte’s independence and has discussed with Deloitte its independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 be included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended. The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, and has asked the shareholders to ratify the selection.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
The NYSE requires that listed companies follow certain corporate governance rules relating to, among other things, the adoption and disclosure of corporate governance guidelines, director independence, and executive sessions of non-management and independent directors. We currently comply with the NYSE listing standards applicable to U.S. companies.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines covering, among other things, the duties and responsibilities of and independence standards applicable to our directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also address, among other things, director compensation, the Board’s role in overseeing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, Board committee structures and assignments, and the Board’s access to management and independent advisors. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our website at http://www.dorianlpg.com/investor-center/corporate-governance/. You may also request a printed copy of the guidelines free of charge by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address on the cover of this Proxy Statement.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that, as of the date hereof, each of the following members of our Board is an “independent director” as defined under the applicable NYSE standards, SEC rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines: Messrs. Thomas J. Coleman, Ted Kalborg, Øivind Lorentzen and Malcolm McAvity, and Ms. Christina Tan. Therefore, the Board has satisfied its objective as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines as well as NYSE listing standards, requiring that at least a majority of the Board consist of independent directors. As required under the NYSE listing standards, in making its determinations, the Board of Directors has considered whether any director has a direct or indirect material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. In addition, the Board considered a series of certain specific transactions, relationships and arrangements expressly enumerated in the NYSE independence definition. Specifically, a member of the Board of Directors may be considered independent if such member:

	•	has not been employed by the Company within the last three years (other than as interim Chairman of the Board of Directors or interim Chief Executive Officer);	

	•	does not have an immediate family member who is, or has been, employed by the Company as an executive officer within the last three years;	

	•	has not received, and does not have an immediate family member who has received, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the Company during any twelve-month period within the last three years, other than for services as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation for prior service (including pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service, provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service); provided that, compensation received by a director for former service as an interim Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer need not be considered in determining independence under this test; provided further that, compensation received by an immediate family member for service as an employee of the Company (other than an executive officer) need not be considered in determining independence under this test;	

	•	(A) is not a current partner or employee of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor; (B) does not have an immediate family member who is a current partner of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor; (C) does not have an immediate family member who is a current employee of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor and personally works on the Company’s audit; and (D) is not, and has not been within the last three years, and does not have an immediate family member who is, or has been within the last three years, a partner or employee of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor and personally worked on Company’s audit within such time;	

	•	is not, and has not been within the last three years, and does not have an immediate family member who is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of a public company where any of the Company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served as a member of such public company’s compensation committee; and	
22

	•	is not, and has not been within the last three years, an employee of a significant customer or supplier of the Company, including any company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, and does not have an immediate family member who is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of such a significant customer or supplier; provided that contributions to not- for-profit organizations shall not be considered payments for purposes of this test.	
After careful review of the categorical tests enumerated under the NYSE independence definition, the individual circumstances of each director with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, the Board has concluded that each of the aforementioned directors has no relationship with the Company that would interfere with such director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director of the Company.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy
We have an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy which memorializes our commitment to adhere faithfully to both the letter and spirit of all applicable anti-bribery legislation in the conduct of our business activities worldwide. 
Code of Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to officers, directors and employees (the “Code of Ethics”), which fulfills applicable guidelines issued by the SEC. Our Code of Ethics and our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy can be found on our website at http://www.dorianlpg.com/investor-center/corporate-governance/. We will also provide a hard copy of our Code of Ethics and Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy free of charge upon written request to Dorian LPG Ltd. c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Any waiver that is granted, and the basis for granting the waiver, will be publicly communicated as appropriate, including through posting on our website, as soon as practicable. We have granted no waivers to the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy since its inception. We granted no waivers under our Code of Ethics during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. We intend to post any amendments to and any waivers of our Code of Ethics on our website within four business days.
Business Relationships and Related Person Transactions Policy
We have policies and procedures in place regarding referral of related person transactions to our Audit Committee for consideration and approval. Compensation matters involving any related persons are reviewed and approved by our Compensation Committee. Our Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with our outside counsel, is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for determining, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. Under our policy, transactions that (i) involve directors, director nominees, executive officers, significant shareholders or other “related persons” in which the Company is or will be a participant and (ii) are of the type that must be disclosed under the SEC’s rules must be referred by the Chief Financial Officer, after consultation with our outside counsel, to our Audit Committee for the purpose of determining whether such transactions are in the best interests of the Company. Under our policy, it is the responsibility of the individual directors, director nominees, executive officers and holders of five percent or more of the Company's common stock to promptly report to our Chief Financial Officer all proposed or existing transactions in which the Company and they, or any related person of theirs, are parties or participants. The Chief Financial Officer (or the Chief Executive Officer, in the event the transaction in question involves the Chief Financial Officer or a related person of the Chief Financial Officer) is then required to furnish to the chairperson of the Audit Committee reports relating to any transaction that, in the Chief Financial Officer's judgment with advice of outside counsel, may require reporting pursuant to the SEC’s rules or may otherwise be the type of transaction that should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers material facts and circumstances concerning the transaction in question, consults with counsel and other advisors as it deems advisable and makes a determination or recommendation to the Board of Directors and appropriate officers of the Company with respect to the transaction in question. In its review, the Audit Committee considers the nature of the related person's interest in the transaction, the material terms of the transaction, the relative importance of the transaction to the related person, the relative importance of the transaction to the Company and any other matters deemed important or relevant. Upon receipt of the Audit Committee's recommendation, the Board of Directors or officers, excluding in all such instances the related party, take such action as deemed appropriate and necessary in light of their respective responsibilities under applicable laws and regulations.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board believes that, given the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate, the optimal Board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant.
23

At present, the Board of Directors has chosen to combine the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. John C. Hadjipateras currently acts as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board believes that at this time, the interests of the Company and its shareholders are better served with one person serving in both roles and that the Chief Executive Officer is the person with the necessary experience and support of the other Board members to carry out the role of Chairman in an effective manner. The Board believes it is important that the Company retain the organizational flexibility to determine whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separated or combined. The Board believes the current structure promotes a cohesive leadership structure and a unified direction for the Board and executive management, and also allows for better alignment of strategic development and execution, more effective implementation of strategic initiatives and clearer accountability for success or failure. Moreover, the Board believes that having our Chief Executive Officer serve as Chairman gives management a strong voice on the Board.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors
As required pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, independent directors hold an executive session without non-independent directors or management at least twice a year. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines allow for an independent director to be selected to preside over each such executive session. If a presiding director is not chosen to preside at all executive sessions, then the responsibility will rotate quarterly among the chairs of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Presently, Mr. Thomas J. Coleman has been chosen to serve as the lead independent director at all executive sessions. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, our Board held three executive sessions without non-independent directors or management present.
Communications with the Board
A majority of our independent directors has approved procedures with respect to the receipt, review and processing of, and any response to, written communications sent by shareholders and other interested persons to our Board of Directors. Such communications may be addressed to: Dorian LPG Ltd., c/o Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, 27 Signal Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Mail addressed to “Outside Directors” or “Non-Employee Directors” will be forwarded or delivered to the lead independent director, who is presently Mr. Thomas J. Coleman. Mail addressed to the “Board of Directors” will be forwarded or delivered to the Chairman of the Board.
The Corporate Secretary of our Company is authorized to open and review any mail or other correspondence received that is addressed to the Board, a committee or any individual director. If, upon opening any correspondence, the Corporate Secretary determines that it contains materials unrelated to the business or operations of the Company or to the Board’s functions, including magazines, solicitations or advertisements, the contents may be discarded.
Any interested party, including any employee, may make confidential, anonymous submissions regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters or internal accounting controls and may communicate directly with the Chairman of the Board by letter to the above address, marked for the attention of the Chairman of the Board. Any written communication regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or other financial matters are processed in accordance with procedures adopted by the Audit Committee.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. The Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s management. However, the Board believes that oversight of risk management is one of its fundamental responsibilities. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for oversight of the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process, internal controls over financial reporting and the Company’s compliance programs. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing compensation-related risks. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company’s corporate governance programs, including the Code of Ethics. Management regularly reports to the Board and its committees on the risks that the Company may face and the steps that management is taking to mitigate those risks.

For purposes of calculating each person’s percentage ownership, shares of common stock issuable pursuant to options exercisable within 60 days (including out of the money options) are included as outstanding and beneficially owned for that person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 51,021,436 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the record date (September 22, 2020), and excludes any treasury stock.

PROPOSAL 2

TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF DELOITTE CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS S.A. AS THE
COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2021
The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte Certified Public Accountants S.A. (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending March 31, 2021. We have been advised by Deloitte that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), and complies with the auditing, quality control and independence standards and rules of the PCAOB.
We expect that representatives of Deloitte will not be present at the Annual Meeting, but will be available by phone to respond to questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.
While the Audit Committee retains Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Deloitte to the shareholders for ratification upon the recommendation to do so by the Audit Committee.
Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board will be voted for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. If the selection of Deloitte is not ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee will reconsider the matter. Even if the selection of Deloitte is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change is in our best interests. All services rendered by the independent auditors are subject to review by the Audit Committee.
Audit Fees
The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Deloitte did not bill us for other services during those periods.

 	 	2020	 	 	2019	 	
Audit fees(1) 	 	$	464,542	 	 	$	420,376	 	
All other fees(2) 	 	 	—	 	 	 	3,828	 	
Total 	 	$	464,542	 	 	$	424,204	 	
_____________________

(2)	All other fees consist of a subscription for accounting research software.	
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee charter sets forth our policy regarding retention of the independent auditors, giving the Audit Committee responsibility for the appointment, replacement, compensation, evaluation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors. As part of this responsibility, our Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditors may be pre-approved.
There were no non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of Deloitte Certified Public Accountants S.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending March 31, 2021.

 PROPOSAL 3

 ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and in accordance with SEC rules, the Board of Directors is providing shareholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation as reported in this proxy statement (commonly referred to as “say-on-pay”). This say-on-pay proposal gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to our named executive officers and will not be binding on us, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The say-on-pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices, which the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond.

Shareholders are encouraged to carefully review the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which discusses our compensation policies and procedures, including our compensation philosophy, and to refer to the related compensation tables and accompanying disclosures. Our executive compensation programs play a key role in our ability to attract and retain a highly experienced, successful team to manage our Company and deliver strategic and financial results. We have designed our executive compensation programs to motivate our executives to achieve the business goals set by us and to reward the executives for achieving these goals. We are also committed to containing the cost of the executive compensation programs to a level the Compensation Committee believes is reasonable and appropriate. We believe our executive compensation programs are structured in the best manner possible to support us and our business objectives.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors is asking the shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by casting a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosures in this Proxy Statement.”

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the resolution set forth above and the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Background of the Proposal

Section 14A(a)(2) of the Exchange Act requires all domestic public companies to propose a separate non-binding, advisory shareholder vote with respect to the frequency of the vote on the say-on-pay proposal at least once every six years. Companies must give shareholders the choice of whether to cast an advisory vote on the say-on-pay proposal every year, every two years or every three years (commonly known as the “frequency vote on say-on-pay”). SEC rules also allow shareholders to also abstain from making a choice.

Frequency Vote on Say-on-Pay

For the reasons described below, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders select “TWO YEARS” as your preference for this Proposal 4.

The Board of Directors believes that a significant portion of compensation for the Company’s executive officers has historically been in the form of long-term incentive compensation. The Board of Directors believes that the effective use of stock-based long-term incentive compensation has been integral to the Company’s success in the past and is vital to its ability to achieve continued strong performance in the future, and therefore delivers a portion of each executive’s incentive compensation in the form of equity. These awards are intended to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders, enhance the personal stake of executive officers in the growth and success of the Company, provide an incentive for the executive officers’ continued service at the Company, and provide an opportunity for executives to increase their stock ownership levels.

The Board of Directors believes that giving our shareholders the right to cast an advisory vote once every two years on their approval of the compensation arrangements of our NEOs would be most consistent with, and provide better input on, the Company’s long-term compensation, which constitutes a significant portion of the compensation of our NEOs. In addition, a two-year cycle will provide shareholders sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our short- and long-term compensation strategies and the related business outcomes of the Company. Furthermore, a two-year vote cycle gives the Board of Directors sufficient time to thoughtfully consider the results of the advisory vote and to implement any desired changes to our executive compensation policies and procedures.

Although the Board of Directors recommends that the say-on-pay proposal be voted on once every two years, our shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for the frequency of the vote on the say-on-pay proposal as follows: (i) one year, (ii) two years, (iii) three years or (iv) abstain. Shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Director’s recommendation of a vote on the say-on-pay proposal every two years.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by our shareholders will be deemed the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation recommended by our shareholders. However, because this vote is advisory and will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Company, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our shareholders.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for “TWO YEARS” as your preference for Proposal 4, the non-binding vote to approve the frequency of advisory votes on the Company’s executive compensation.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
During the year ended March 31, 2020, we paid each non-executive director compensation of $100,000 (50% in cash and 50% as an equity share award paid quarterly in arrears). The chairman of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each receive additional annual cash compensation of $15,000. Further, any director serving on a committee of the Board, other than a chairman of a committee, receives additional annual cash compensation of $10,000 per committee.
Each director is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors or committees. Each director will be fully indemnified by us for actions associated with being a director to the extent permitted under Marshall Islands law. Further, none of the members of our board of directors will receive any benefits upon termination of their directorship positions. Our directors are eligible to receive awards under an equity incentive plan that we adopted prior to the completion of our initial public offering and which is described below under “—2014 Equity Incentive Plan.” Our Compensation Committee reviews director compensation annually and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation and benefits provided to the members of the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that director compensation should be fair and equitable to enable the Company to attract qualified members to serve on its Board.
The following table provides certain information concerning the compensation earned by each of our non-employee directors serving on our Board for the year ended March 31, 2020, for services rendered in all capacities:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
General
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides information regarding the compensation program for our executive officers in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 (“Fiscal Year 2020”). It describes our compensation philosophy; the objectives of the executive compensation program in Fiscal Year 2020; the elements of the compensation program; and how each element fits into our overall compensation philosophy. Certain information with respect to the compensation program for our executive officers in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 (“Fiscal Year 2019”) and in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“Fiscal Year 2021”) has also been included where the Compensation Committee deemed that such information may be helpful to give context to the disclosure herein.
Our named executive officers (or “NEOs”), consisting of our principal executive officer (“PEO”), principal financial officer (“PFO”), and our three most highly compensated executive officers other than our PEO and PFO for Fiscal Year 2020 are:

	•	John C. Hadjipateras, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors;	

	•	Theodore B. Young, Chief Financial Officer;	

	•	John C. Lycouris, Chief Executive Officer of Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and Director on our Board of Directors;	

	•	Tim T. Hansen, Chief Commercial Officer;	

	•	Alexander C. Hadjipateras, Executive Vice President of Business Development.	
Highlights for Fiscal Year 2020

	•	Total revenues increased $175.4 million, or 111.0%, to $333.4 million for Fiscal Year 2020 primarily attributable to an increase in average Daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rates and fleet utilization.	

	•	Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate for our fleet of $42,798 for Fiscal Year 2020, a 96.8% increase from the $21,746 TCE rate from Fiscal Year 2019.	

	•	Net income of $111.8 million, or $2.07 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) for Fiscal Year 2020 compared to a net loss of $(50.9) million, or $(0.93) EPS for Fiscal Year 2019.	

	•	Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $232.8 million for Fiscal Year 2020 compared to $64.4 million for Fiscal Year 2019.	

	•	Repurchased over $49.3 million of our common stock, or approximately 4.4 million shares, at an average price of $11.24 per share.	

(1)	 	Time Charter Equivalent rate and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of revenues to TCE rate and net income to adjusted EBITDA included in Appendix A.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 Our compensation philosophy is designed to establish and maintain an executive compensation program that attracts, retains, and rewards talented executives who possess the skills necessary to help the Company achieve its strategic objectives. We believe that the compensation program should (i) align the interests of executives with those of stockholders in achieving and sustaining increases in stockholder value over the short and long-term, (ii) encourage and reward achievement of our annual and longer-term performance objectives, (iii) promote the long-term success of the Company through an appropriate balance of current and long-term compensation opportunities, (iv) differentiate pay based on individual and Company performance, (v) provide competitive compensation relative to the market and (vi) balance incentives for risk management.

As a result, we endeavor to pay competitive total compensation that is guided by market rates and tailored to account for the specific needs and responsibilities of the particular position as well as the unique qualifications of the individual executive. Historically, in light of the cyclical nature of the shipping industry and the volatile and unpredictable markets in which we operate, we have not established specific performance targets for incentive compensation to our NEOs. We apply judgment and reasonable discretion in making compensation decisions to avoid relying on a formulaic program, taking into account both what has been accomplished and how it has been accomplished in light of the existing commercial environment.

Our goal is to maintain an executive compensation program that is competitive, based on the principles of pay-for-performance, and that follows best practices in executive compensation and corporate governance. To this end, the Compensation Committee routinely evaluates its practices and programs with respect to executive compensation to identify opportunities for improvement.

Key factors affecting the compensation decisions for the NEOs included, key financial and statistical measurements, the design and implementation by the NEOs of (i) a finance strategy for us, including obtaining or renegotiating financing on favorable terms in a difficult market environment, and (ii) strategic objectives for us, such as the design and implementation of a new commercial strategy, including health and safety initiatives and retrofitting of our vessels with scrubbers; as well as the achievement of our operational goals or goals in a particular area of responsibility for the respective NEOs, such as operations or chartering. In addition, we do not provide for excise tax gross-ups, supplemental executive retirement plans and for the Fiscal Year 2020, as a general matter, we did not provide perquisites for our executive officers. While the Compensation Committee may deem it appropriate to provide perquisites for its executive officers in the future, it has no current intention to do so.

Roles in Setting Executive Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee

For Fiscal Year 2020, the Compensation Committee consisted of three members of the Board, each of whom qualified as “independent” under the NYSE listing standards and applicable independence standards under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In view of the importance that independence plays in executive compensation, the Compensation Committee and the other independent directors regularly meet in executive session, without any members of management present.

The primary role of the Compensation Committee is to establish the Company’s compensation philosophy and strategy and to ensure that the Company’s executives are compensated in a manner consistent with the articulated philosophy and strategy. The Compensation Committee takes many factors into account when making compensation decisions with respect to the NEOs and other senior executives, including:

	•	Our overall performance;	

	•	Individual performance, tenure, experience, and long-term potential;	

	•	Internal pay equity among the senior leadership team; and	

	•	External, publicly available market data on competitive compensation levels and practices.	
32

Role of the CEO in Setting CEO and Other Executives’ Compensation

All decisions relating to the compensation of Mr. J. Hadjipateras, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”), are made by the Compensation Committee without him or other members of management present. In making determinations regarding compensation for Dorian’s other NEOs and other selected senior executives, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of our CEO (for all executives other than himself).

Our CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to salary, short-term incentive (bonus), and long-term incentive awards for all executive officers other than himself. He develops those recommendations based on competitive market information, our compensation strategy, his assessment of individual performance, the scope of responsibilities, experience level, time in position, and long-term potential of the particular executive. Our CEO’s recommendations are subject to review, modification, and ultimately approval of the Compensation Committee or, when sufficiently material, the full Board. All Fiscal Year 2020 compensation decisions (including base salaries, annual and long-term compensation) were made by the Compensation Committee. 

Role of Outside Advisors

The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent advisors to assist in carrying out its duties. In April 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged Steven Hall & Partners (“Steven Hall”) as its independent compensation consultant to advise on executive and director compensation arrangements and related governance matters. Additionally, Steven Hall has assisted management in the preparation of this CD&A.

Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Assessment: As required by rules adopted by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Compensation Committee assessed the relevant factors, including those set forth in Rule 10C-1(b)(4)(i) through (vi) under the Exchange Act, a and determined that the work of Steven Hall did not raise any conflict of interest in Fiscal Year 2020.

Fiscal Year 2020 Peer Group

The Compensation Committee examines the executive compensation of a group of peer companies to stay current with market pay practices and trends, and to understand the competitiveness of our total compensation and its various elements. In general, we strive for total compensation to be competitive with a group of companies that the Compensation Committee believes to be an appropriate compensation reference group (the “Peer Group”). The Compensation Committee reviews the Peer Group at least annually to affirm that it is comprised of companies that are similar to us in terms of industry focus and scope of operations, size (based on revenues and market capitalization), and the competitive marketplace for talent. While the Compensation Committee believes the data derived from any peer group is helpful, it also recognizes that benchmarking is not necessarily definitive in every case.

Most of our direct business competitors are foreign companies that are not required to disclose compensation information for their executive officers on an individual basis and detailed compensation data is, therefore, limited or unavailable. The Peer Group is limited to those companies for which executive compensation data is publicly available, which necessarily eliminates many of the Company’s competitors that are privately held and/or incorporated in jurisdictions that do not require public disclosure of executive compensation. Thus, while the Compensation Committee uses the Peer Group information for informational and analytical purposes, it does not target a specific percentile or make compensation decisions based solely on such information. The Company reviews the Peer Group information in the context of other publicly-available survey data, and alongside annual assessments of corporate and individual performance to make recommendations and decisions on the compensation applicable to the Company’s NEOs.

The Peer Group for Fiscal Year 2020 consisted of the following 12 publicly-traded oil and gas shipping and transportation companies:

DHT Holdings Inc	 	Genesis Energy, L.P.	 	SEACOR Marine LLC	 	
Eagle Bulk Shipping	 	Kirby Corporation	 	Tidewater, Inc.	 	
Euronav	 	Matson, Inc.	 	Diamond S Shipping Inc.	 	
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd.	 	SEACOR Holdings	 	International Seaways, Inc.

Elements of the Fiscal Year 2020 Executive Officer Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee reviews each element of compensation annually to ensure alignment with its compensation philosophy and objectives, as well as to assess its executive compensation program and levels relative to the competitive marketplace. The executive compensation program consists of the following:

	•	Base salary;	

	•	Annual bonus;	

	•	Long-term incentive compensation;	

	•	Retirement benefits generally available to all employees; and	

	•	Welfare and similar benefits (e.g., medical, dental, disability and life insurance).	
Base Salary

We use salary to compensate our NEOs for services rendered during the year and to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of each NEO.
The Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of the NEOs and compares them to the salaries of senior management among the Peer Group companies. Using this information in conjunction with review of other elements of compensation, the Compensation Committee aims to determine whether the NEO salaries are at levels sufficient to attract, motivate and retain these NEOs in leading the Company and driving stockholder value.
Annual adjustments in base salary, if any, consider individual performance, prior experience, position duties and responsibilities, internal equity and external market practices. The Compensation Committee generally relies on the CEO’s evaluation of each NEO’s performance (other than his own) in deciding whether to recommend and/or approve merit increases for any NEOs in a given year. In those instances where the duties and responsibilities of a NEO change, the CEO may recommend any adjustments believed to be warranted, and the Compensation Committee will consider all of the factors `bove in determining whether to approve any such changes.
For Fiscal Year 2019, the Compensation Committee reviewed the total compensation and salaries of Messrs. J. Hadjipateras, Lycouris and Young, who were our NEOs for Fiscal Year 2019, as well as Mr. A. Hadjipateras, who was not an NEO for Fiscal Year 2019, but whose total compensation and salary was reviewed due to his familial relation with Mr. J. Hadjipateras, our Chief Executive Officer), taking into consideration market conditions, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (for all executives other than himself), and the desire to retain our experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable NEOs who are essential to leading the Company and driving stockholder value, in keeping with our compensation philosophy. Following its review and using the factors described above, our Compensation Committee determined that the annual salary levels for each of Messrs. J. Hadjipateras, Lycouris, Young and A. Hadjipateras would remain at Fiscal Year 2019 levels in Fiscal Year 2020. Mr. Hansen’s salary was increased 5% in Fiscal Year 2020. The following table summarizes Fiscal Year 2020 base salaries for our NEOs.

Name	 	Fiscal Year 2020 Salary	 	
John C. Hadjipateras	 	$	550,000	 	
John C. Lycouris	 	$	450,000	 	
Theodore B. Young	 	$	400,000

Alexander C. Hadjipateras	 	$	250,000

	(1)	Converted from Danish Kroner to U.S. Dollars at a rate of 1 DKK = 0.1511 USD. Mr. Hansen was not an NEO for the Fiscal Year 2019; as such, the Compensation Committee did not review and approve his total compensation and salary for such period. Beginning on March 31, 2020, the Company ceased to be an emerging growth company and Mr. Hansen was determined to be an NEO for Fiscal Year 2020.

Named Executive Officer Base Salary Increases for Fiscal Year 2021
On May 14, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual base salary increases for the following NEOs, effective April 1, 2020: for John C. Hadjipateras, a base salary increase from $550,000 to $650,000; for John C. Lycouris, a base salary increase from $450,000 to $550,000; for Theodore B. Young, a base salary increase from $400,000 to $500,000; for Tim T. Hansen, a base salary increase from DKK 2,625,000 to DKK 3,250,000; and for Alexander C. Hadjipateras, a base salary increase from $250,000 to $325,000.
Annual Bonus
Our NEOs are eligible for cash incentives based on annual performance. We use these annual incentive opportunities to reward and drive initiatives as well as short-term achievements and milestones towards meeting the Company’s long-term goals. For Fiscal Year 2019 and Fiscal Year 2020, our NEOs each received discretionary cash bonuses (including a $1,500 holiday bonus). Factors reviewed in determining bonus amounts include: safety measures such as time lost to injuries and the number and frequency or reportable incidents; operating expense per day relative to peers; chartering performance relative to peers; EBITDA; and overall evaluation of individual performance.
The cash bonus amounts in recognition of the officers’ contributions to the Company for Fiscal Year 2019 and paid in FY 2020 are detailed in the table below:

Name	 	Cash Bonus Awarded(1)	 	 	 	 	
John C. Hadjipateras	 	$	300,000

Theodore B. Young	 	$	300,000	 	 	 	 	
Tim T. Hansen	 	$	175,646	 	 	 	 	(2) 	
Alexander C. Hadjipateras	 	$	145,000

The cash bonus amounts in recognition of the officers' contributions to the Company for Fiscal Year 2020 (which amounts were approved by the Compensation Committee on May 14, 2020 and will be accounted for and recognized by the Company in connection with Fiscal Year 2021) are detailed in the table below:

Equity-Based Compensation
Our equity-based compensation program is intended to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, and to help reduce the possibility of making excessively risky decisions that could maximize short term profits at the expense of long term value, thereby establishing a direct relationship between executive compensation, long-term operating performance, and sustained increases in stockholder value.
To determine the size of annual equity grants, as described above, our Compensation Committee generally considers the executives’ prior performance, their role and responsibility, and their ability to influence the Company’s long-term growth and business performance, including the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own equity award). Our Compensation Committee also considers Peer Group information, as applicable.
The Compensation Committee believes restricted stock serves as a retention and motivation tool for executives in the volatile shipping industry. On August 2, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved the following long-term equity awards for our NEOs in the form of time-based restricted stock in recognition of the officers' contributions to the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019: Mr. J. Hadjipateras, Mr. Lycouris, Mr. Young, and Mr. A. Hadjipateras received 64,700, 20,000, 20,000, and 15,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, on August 5, 2019, vesting in equal installments on the grant date and the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date, and Mr. Hansen received 18,000 restricted stock units vesting in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date.

	(1)	In recognition of the officers’ contributions to the Company for FY 2019.	

	(2)	On May 14, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the following long-term equity awards for our NEOs in the form of time-based restricted stock in recognition of the officers' contributions to the Company for Fiscal Year 2020. Mr. J. Hadjipateras is scheduled to receive $1,225,000 of restricted shares that were issued on June 22, 2020. Mr. Lycouris, Mr. Young, and Mr. A. Hadjipateras are received 37,500 restricted shares, 35,000 restricted shares, and 30,000 restricted shares, respectively, on June 15, 2020. Mr. Hansen received 40,000 restricted stock units on June 15, 2020. The restricted shares for Mr. Lycouris, Mr. Young, and Mr. A. Hadjipateras vest in escalating installments on the grant date (June 15, 2020) and on the first, second, and third anniversary of that date. The restricted stock units for Mr. Hansen vest in escalating installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date (June 15, 2020).	
All restricted shares and restricted stock units of a NEO will vest (i) if such named executive officer’s employment terminates other than for Cause (as defined in the Severance and CIC Plan (defined below)—see “—2014 Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan” below) or on account of death or Disability or (ii) upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan (defined below) and related restricted stock award agreements) that occurs while such named executive officer is still employed with us.
Employment Agreements with the NEOs
None of our NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Hansen, are subject to an employment agreement with us or our subsidiaries.
Mr. Hansen has an employment agreement that entitles him to receive certain benefits and payments if his employment terminates in specified separation scenarios. These arrangements are described under the Potential Payments upon Termination and Change in Control section.
Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan
The 2014 Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan (the "Severance and CIC Plan") provides for payments and other benefits in certain circumstances involving a termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change-in-control. Cash payments in connection with a change-in-control are subject to a double trigger; that is, the executive is not entitled to payment unless there is both a change-in-control and the executive is subsequently terminated without cause (or resigns for good reason) within a two-year period following the change-in-control. Our executives are not entitled to any severance payments as a result of voluntary termination (outside of the retirement context) or if they are terminated for cause. Detailed information with respect to these payments and benefits can be found under the section entitled “2014 Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan.” Mr. J. Hadjipateras, Mr. Lycouris, Mr. Young and Mr. A. Hadjipateras are participants to the Severance and CIC Plan.
Pursuant to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, in the event of a change-in-control all outstanding equity awards become fully vested and any forfeiture provisions shall lapse.
The Committee believes that these severance benefits encourage the commitment of our NEOs and ensure that they will be able to devote their full attention and energy to our affairs in the face of potentially disruptive and distracting circumstances.

Additional Information
Retirement Benefits
We provide retirement plan benefits, discussed in this section below, that we believe are customary in our industry. We provide them to remain competitive in retaining talent and attracting new talent to join us.
401(k) Savings Plan
We provide all qualifying full-time employees with the opportunity to participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) savings plan. The plan allows employees to defer receipt of earned salary, up to tax law limits, on a tax-advantaged basis. Accounts may be invested in a wide range of mutual funds. Up to tax law limits, we provide a 3% of salary safe harbor contribution for U.S. employees.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
We contribute to retirement accounts for certain United Kingdom and Denmark-based employees, including Mr. Hansen based on a percentage of their annual salaries.
Tax Consideration
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the expected tax treatment to the Company and its executive officers as one of the factors in determining compensation matters. For Fiscal Year 2020 our gross U.S. source income was exempt from tax under Code section 883 and thus deductions for executive compensation are not relevant to the Company’s U.S. federal income tax positions. If the Company is not exempt from U.S. federal income taxation by reason of Code section 883 and is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis, the deduction of certain items of compensation paid to certain of our executives or former executives may be limited. The Compensation Committee has taken, and intends to continue to take, actions, as appropriate, to attempt to minimize, if not eliminate, the Company’s non-deductible compensation expense within the context of maintaining the flexibility that the Compensation Committee believes to be an important element of the Company’s executive compensation program.
Risk Assessment
The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation objectives and policies do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Determinations regarding incentive compensation are based on a discretionary assessment of a variety of factors related to the performance of the Company and the contributions of each executive officer to that performance. Incentive compensation awards are not tied to formulas based on short-term performance, and no one factor disproportionately affects incentive amounts, which diversifies the risk associated with any single indicator of performance. A significant portion of each executive’s total compensation is delivered in the form of equity that vests over multiple years, thereby aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. Compensation is determined by our Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent members of our Board of Directors under NYSE listing standards.
Report of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors (as defined under U.S. securities laws, NYSE listing standards and applicable guidelines under the Code), has reviewed the CD&A included in this proxy statement and discussed that CD&A with management. Based on its review and discussion with management, the Compensation Committee approved the CD&A and recommended to the Dorian Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement.

2014 Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan
Except as set forth under “2014 Equity Incentive Plan” above and as provided under our Executive Severance and Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Severance and CIC Plan”), none of our members of senior management, including Mr. Hadjipateras, Mr. Lycouris and Mr. Young, will receive any benefits as a result of change in control.
We adopted our Severance and CIC Plan in June 2014, under which we expect that certain executive officers of the Company and our subsidiaries and affiliates, may be eligible to receive severance benefits in connection with termination by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or termination by such officer for Good Reason (as defined below). Mr. Hadjipateras, Mr. Lycouris and Mr. Young are participants to the Severance and CIC Plan. A dismissed officer may be eligible for additional severance benefits when dismissed during the period within two years following a change in control of the Company, or in certain cases, during the six-month period prior to a “Change in Control” (as generally defined under the Equity Incentive Plan with the addition of any transaction the board determines to be a Change in Control).
In the event of termination without Cause or for Good Reason, officers subject to the Severance and CIC Plan will be eligible to receive a lump-sum payment equal to two times the sum of such officer’s base salary plus bonus, a pro rata annual bonus for the year of termination, a cash payment equal to 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage and one year’s outplacement services (not to exceed $10,000). Should such termination take place within two years following a Change in Control of the Company, or in certain cases, during the six-month period prior to a Change in Control (the “CIC Termination Period”), all outstanding equity awards of a terminated officer subject to the Severance and CIC Plan shall vest and the lump-sum payment to the officer will be increased to 2.99 times the sum of the officer’s base salary plus bonus. The participant will receive payments and pay the excise tax or the payments will be reduced so that no excise tax applies, whatever puts the participant in a better after-tax position. For purposes of the Severance and CIC Plan, “Cause” is generally defined to mean: (i) the willful and continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties, (ii) the willful engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or its affiliates, (iii) engaging in conduct or misconduct that materially harms the reputation or financial position of the Company, (iv) the participant (x) obstructs or impedes, (y) endeavors to influence, obstruct or impede or (z) fails to materially cooperate with, an investigation, (v) the participant withholds, removes, conceals, destroys, alters or by other means falsifies any material which is requested in connection with an investigation, (vi) conviction of, or the entering of a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or (vii) being found liable in any SEC or other civil or criminal securities law action. For purposes of the Severance and CIC Plan, “Good Reason” generally means (A) with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, a material diminution in the nature and scope of the participant’s duties, responsibilities or status, (B) a material diminution in current annual base salary or annual performance bonus target opportunities; or (C) an involuntary relocation to a location more than 25 miles from a participant’s principal place of business, provided that, during the CIC Termination Period, “Good Reason” shall mean (A) (1) any material change in the duties, responsibilities or status (including reporting responsibilities); provided, however, that good reason shall not be deemed to occur upon a change in duties, responsibilities (other than reporting responsibilities) or status that is solely and directly a result of the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity or (2) a material and adverse change in titles or offices (including, if applicable, membership on the board); (B) a more than 10% reduction in the participant’s rate of annual base salary or annual performance bonus or equity incentive compensation target opportunities (including any material and adverse change in the formula for such targets) as in effect immediately prior to such change in control; (C) the failure to continue in effect any employee benefit plan, compensation plan, welfare benefit plan or fringe benefit plan in which the participant is participating immediately prior to such change in control or the taking of any action by the Company, in each case which would materially adversely affect the participant, unless the participant is permitted to participate in other plans providing the participant with materially equivalent benefits in the aggregate; (D) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the Company’s obligations under the plan from any successor; (E) an involuntary relocation of the principal place of business to a location more than 25 miles from the principal place of business immediately prior to such change in control; or (F) a material breach by the Company of the terms of an employment agreement.
Prohibition on Hedging

While the Company does not currently have a policy prohibiting its employees, including executive officers, and directors from engaging in hedging transactions (derivatives, equity swaps, forwards, etc.) involving Company securities, the Company does have an insider trading policy that requires, among other things, that all trading in Company shares by “insiders” (as defined below) must be pre-cleared with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, the Company's Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Executive Officer of Dorian LPG (USA) LLC (each, an “Authorized Person“) prior to commencing any trade. The relevant Authorized Person will consult as necessary with senior management and/or outside legal counsel to the Company before clearing any proposed trade. The Company’s insider trading policy covers all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees (“insiders”), as well as any transactions in any securities participated in by family members, trusts or corporations directly or indirectly controlled by insiders. In addition, the Company’s insider trading policy applies to transactions engaged
42

in by corporations in which the insider is an officer, director or 10% or greater stockholder and a partnership of which the insider is a partner, unless the insider has no direct or indirect control over the partnership.
President and Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median employee and the annual total compensation of John Hadjipateras, our President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"):
This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and other data as described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
The compensation of the Company’s median employee (“Median Employee”) was determined by reviewing the amount of compensation paid to each of the Company’s employees using the data as shown in its payroll records including base salary, bonuses (including equity awards), and other benefits paid by or on behalf of the Company using the same calculation methods and assumptions, disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. The total reported compensation for Mr. John Hadjipateras in Fiscal Year 2020 was $1,391,087, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement, and was approximately 9.1 times the Median Employee’s annual total compensation of $126,261. The methodology used to identify the Median Employee uses the same pay components, as well as the same calculation methods and assumptions, disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. Given the different methodologies that various public companies will use to determine an estimate of their pay ratio, the estimated ratio reported above should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies. The methodology used to identify the Median Employee excludes consideration of the seafarers who had served on the Company’s commercially-managed vessels for one or more days during the year ended March 31, 2020, since such seafarers were employed, and their compensation was determined, by unaffiliated third parties and these seafarers provide services to the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries as independent contractors or “leased” workers. These seafarers are sourced from seafarer recruitment and placement service agencies and are employed with short-term employment contracts.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During our last fiscal year, Messrs. Coleman, Kalborg and McAvity served on the Compensation Committee. Each of them is not, nor have any of them ever been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during the last fiscal year, no executive officer of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or our Compensation Committee.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, to which we were and are a party, in which:

	•	the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and	

	•	any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.	
Except as noted otherwise, the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors approved or ratified each arrangement described below (other than arrangements that were entered into prior to the adoption of the related party transaction policy by the Board of Directors).
See “Corporate Governance Matters—Business Relationships and Related Person Transactions Policy” for a discussion of our policies and procedures related to conflicts of interest.
Business Relationships and Related Person Transactions Policy
We have policies and procedures in place regarding referral of related person transactions to our Audit Committee for consideration and approval. Compensation matters involving any related persons are reviewed and approved by our Compensation Committee. Our Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with our outside counsel, is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for determining, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. Under our policy, transactions that (i) involve directors, director nominees, executive officers, significant shareholders or other “related persons” in which the Company is or will be a participant and (ii) are of the type that must be disclosed under the Commission’s rules must be referred by the Chief Financial Officer, after consultation with our outside counsel, to our Audit Committee for the purpose of determining whether such transactions are in the best interests of the Company. Under our policy, it is the responsibility of the individual directors, director nominees, executive officers and holders of five percent or more of the Company’s common stock to promptly report to our Chief Financial Officer all proposed or existing transactions in which the Company and they, or any related person of theirs, are parties or participants. The Chief Financial Officer (or the Chief Executive Officer, in the event the transaction in question involves the Chief Financial Officer or a related person of the Chief Financial Officer) is then required to furnish to the chairperson of the Audit Committee reports relating to any transaction that, in the Chief Financial Officer’s judgment with advice of outside counsel, may require reporting pursuant to the Commission’s rules or may otherwise be the type of transaction that should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers material facts and circumstances concerning the transaction in question, consults with counsel and other advisors as it deems advisable and makes a determination or recommendation to the Board of Directors and appropriate officers of the Company with respect to the transaction in question. In its review, the Audit Committee considers the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the material terms of the transaction, the relative importance of the transaction to the related person, the relative importance of the transaction to the Company and any other matters deemed important or relevant. Upon receipt of the Audit Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Directors or officers, excluding in all such instances the related party, take such action as deemed appropriate and necessary in light of their respective responsibilities under applicable laws and regulations.
Related Party Transactions
Registration Rights Agreement
We entered into a registration rights agreement dated June 3, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Kensico granting Kensico the right, subject to certain terms and conditions, to require us, on up to three separate occasions beginning 180 days following the closing of our initial public offering, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, our common shares held by Kensico for offer and sale to the public, including by way of an underwritten public offering. In addition, the registration rights agreement grants Kensico the right to require us to make available shelf registration statements permitting sales of shares into the market from time to time over an extended period, and to exercise certain piggyback registration rights permitting participation in certain registrations of common shares by us. All expenses relating to our registration have been and will be borne by us. On July 10, 2015, the Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3 that permits Kensico to offer its shares for resale from time to time, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Management Agreements
Dorian (Hellas) S.A. (“DHSA”) formerly provided technical, crew, commercial management, insurance and accounting services to our vessels and had agreements to outsource certain of these services to Eagle Ocean Transport Inc.

Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with DHSA, retroactive to July 2014 and superseding an agreement between Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and DHSA, for the provision by Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries of certain chartering and marine operation services to DHSA, for which income was earned and included in “Other income-related parties” totaling $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, $1.3 million was due from DHSA and included in “Due from related parties.”
Eagle Ocean Transport incurs miscellaneous costs on behalf of us, for which we reimbursed Eagle Ocean Transport less than $0.1 million for each of the year ended March 31, 2020. Such expenses are reimbursed based on their actual cost.
Arrangements Involving Family Members
In respect of the year ended March 31, 2020, we paid $396,500 in salary and cash bonus to Mr. Alexander C. Hadjipateras, a son of Mr. John C. Hadjipateras, the Chairman of the Board, our President and our Chief Executive Officer, for his service as Executive Vice President of Business Development of Dorian LPG (USA) LLC. In the year ended March 31, 2020, Mr. Alexander C.

APPENDIX A - RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," we use certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance costs, unrealized (gain)/loss on derivatives, realized (gain)/loss on derivatives, gain on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization and is used as a supplemental financial measure by management to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of derivatives, interest and finance costs, gain on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization expense, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income/(loss) between periods. We believe that including adjusted EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives.
Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in use and should not be considered an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income/(loss). Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be computed consistently with similarly titled measures of other companies and, therefore, might not be comparable with other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income/(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited) for the periods presented:

(in U.S. dollars)	 	March 31, 2020	 	 	March 31, 2019	 	
Net income/(loss)	 	$	111,841,258	 	 	$	(50,945,905	)	
Interest and finance costs	 	 	36,105,541	 	 	 	40,649,231	 	
Unrealized (gain)/loss on derivatives	 	 	18,206,769	 	 	 	7,816,401	 	
Realized (gain)/loss) on derivatives	 	 	(2,800,374	)	 	 	(3,788,123	)	
Stock-based compensation expense	 	 	3,227,686	 	 	 	5,476,234	 	
Depreciation and amortization	 	 	66,262,530	 	 	 	65,201,151	 	
Adjusted EBITDA	 	$	232,843,410	 	 	$	64,408,989	 	

Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a non-U.S. GAAP measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period‑to‑period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (such as time charters, voyage charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of calculating TCE rate is to divide revenue net of voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period, which may not be calculated the same by other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of revenues to TCE rate (unaudited) for the periods presented:

Numerator:	 	March 31, 2020	 	 	March 31, 2019	 	
Revenues	 	$	333,429,998	 	 	$	158,032,485	 	
Voyage expenses	 	 	(3,242,923	)	 	 	(1,697,883	)
