Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Class A Securities were acquired with $161,481,887 of working capital set aside by the Cyrus Funds for the general purpose of investing. No funds or consideration were borrowed or obtained for the purpose of acquiring the Class A Securities.

 
 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

OSG entered into an Equity Commitment Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2014, as amended by Amendment Number 1 thereto, dated as of May 20, 2014, and as further amended by Amendment Number 2 thereto, dated as of May 23, 2014 (as so amended, the “ECA”), with certain of the Reporting Persons and certain other parties (each referred to therein as a “Commitment Party” and collectively as the “Commitment Parties”). The ECA was terminated on August 5, 2014 in connection with the consummation of the Company’s chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The ECA, as well as the related Registration Rights Agreement entered into by OSG with each Commitment Party in connection with the ECA, are described in greater detail in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A filed March 24, 2015.

 

Pursuant to the ECA, OSG agreed, in connection with the consummation of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), to issue and distribute its common stock and/or warrants to any person who held shares of OSG’s common stock on the date of the ECA and who elected to exercise subscription rights in accordance with procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Rights Offering Procedures”). Pursuant to the ECA, each Commitment Party, severally and not jointly, agreed with OSG to back-stop, or cause its designees under the ECA to back-stop, certain securities underlying the subscription rights that were not exercised in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures. In addition, each Commitment Party agreed to purchase a portion of a further additional number of Class A Securities offered by OSG to such Commitment Party. As consideration for the foregoing back-stop commitment, OSG was required to pay a certain premium in the form of Class A Securities to each Commitment Party. Whether issued, upon the valid exercise of the subscription rights or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the ECA, Class A Securities were offered, sold, issued and distributed without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 on August 5, 2014. The total number of securities in the form of Class A Common Stock and/or Warrants was determined as set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures.

 

Pursuant to the ECA, on August 5, 2014, Cyrus Polaris LLC purchased and received 33,441,659 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $92,783,846, Cyrus Polaris II LLC purchased and received 3,636,789 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10,121,918, CYR Fund, L.P. purchased and received 9,826,873 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $27,407,761, and Crescent 1, L.P. purchased and received 2,793,707 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $31,168,362. Subsequently, on August 15, 2014, Cyrus Polaris II LLC disposed of 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $3.50 per share. On August 21, 2014, Cyrus Polaris II disposed of 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $3.65 per share.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Class A Securities over which they exercise beneficial ownership in the belief that the Class A Securities represent an attractive investment opportunity. With effect from April 30, 2015, the Reporting Persons determined that from time to time they may enter into discussions with directors and officers of the Issuer, other shareholders or third parties in connection with the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Issuer. Such discussions may include one or more members of management, the board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other persons to discuss the Issuer’s business, strategies and other matters related to the Issuer. These discussions may include reviewing various options available to the Issuer and/or making proposals for enhancing or maximizing shareholder value through various strategic alternatives, including changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, operations, or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer, or any strategic transaction or similar opportunities.

 

Alternatively, in the future, the Reporting Persons may elect not to engage with directors or officers of the Issuer and maintain a passive investment in the Class A Securities. The Reporting Persons may also explore increasing their ownership position in the Issuer, through open market purchases, an acquisition of securities from other significant stockholders, or otherwise based on market conditions and other developments at the time.
