Tsakos Energy Navigation Ltd. (TNP) said the planned sale of at least 7.6 million shares was priced at an 8.3% discount to Tuesday's close.

The Greek tanker company disclosed the plan late Tuesday, which entails 896,861 shares being bought by entities of the Tsakos family. A company spokesman said the family has a history of buying shares when Tsakos makes offerings.

There are about 38 million outstanding, and shares were down 14% in recent trading to $10.55, compared with the $11.30 offer price. They have dropped 28% this year.

The company, which provides international water transport of crude-oil and petroleum products, expects to use the capital it raises from the stock sale to expand its fleet and for other corporate purposes.

Tsakos in August said its second-quarter profit slid 55% amid significantly higher interest and finance costs as revenue fell 1.2%.
