("Arlington"), Archer Amalgamation Limited ("Amalgamation Sub"), Galileo Merger Corporation ("Merger Sub"), and General Maritime Subsidiary Corporation (formerly General Maritime Corporation) ("Historic General Maritime"), Merger Sub merged with and into Historic General Maritime, with Historic General Maritime continuing as the surviving entity (the "Merger"), and Amalgamation Sub amalgamated with Arlington (the "Amalgamation" and, together with the Merger, collectively, the "Combination"). As a result of the Combination, among other things, each share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Historic General Maritime ("Historic General Maritime Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive 1.34 shares of Common Stock (1.34 being referred to as the "Exchange Ratio").
 
On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, each share of Historic General Maritime Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 1.34 shares of Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Reporting Person beneficially owned an aggregate of 3,985,701 shares of Historic General Maritime Common Stock.  The Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of Historic General Maritime Common Stock was described in a Statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 12, 2002, as amended on September 12, 2002 and February 9, 2005. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, those shares were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 5,340,839 shares of Common Stock. No additional consideration was paid for these converted shares of Common Stock.
 
On May 14, 2009, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person 7,042 shares of Common Stock under its equity incentive plan as incentive compensation.  No additional compensation was paid for these shares of Common Stock.
 
On May 13, 2010, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person 9,528 shares of Common Stock under its equity incentive plan as incentive compensation.  These shares of Common Stock will vest, if at all, on the earlier of May 13, 2011 or the date of the Issuer's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  No additional compensation was paid for these shares of Common Stock.

On December 31, 2010, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person 250,000 shares of Common Stock under its equity incentive plan as incentive compensation.  These shares of Common Stock will vest, if at all, in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of November 15, 2010.  No additional compensation was paid for these shares of Common Stock.

On April 5, 2011, the Reporting Person purchased 895,832 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer in its underwritten public offering of 23,000,000 million shares of Common Stock that closed on the same day.  The Reporting Person used personal funds in the amount of $1,791,664 to purchase these shares of Common Stock.
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
 
The acquisition of the Common Stock as described under Item 3 is solely for investment purposes.  The Reporting Person evaluates his investment in the Common stock on continual basis.
 
 
 
 

 
 
The Reporting Person serves as the Chairman of the Issuer.  As Chairman, the Reporting Person may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  As reported in the Issuer's Report on Form 10-K that was filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 30, 2011, the Issuer, General Maritime Subsidiary Corporation ("GMS") and General Maritime Subsidiary II Corporation ("GMS II") entered into a Credit Agreement with affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., pursuant to which the lender (the "Oaktree Lender") has agreed to make a $200 million investment in pay-in-kind toggle floating rate secured notes ("Oaktree Notes") to be issued by GMS and GMS II (the "Oaktree Transaction").  In connection therewith, the Issuer has agreed to issue to the Oaktree Lender detachable warrants (the "Warrants") for the purchase of up to 19.9% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock (measured as of immediately prior to the closing of the Oaktree Transaction) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The Reporting Person has been granted an interest in a limited partnership controlled and managed by Oaktree. The other investors in the partnership are various funds managed by Oaktree. The partnership and its subsidiaries are expected to hold all of the Oaktree Notes and the Warrants.  The Reporting Person will not have any rights to participate in the management of the partnership. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the Reporting Person would be entitled to an interest in distributions by the partnership, which in the aggregate would not exceed 4.9% of all distributions made by the partnership, provided that no distributions would be made to the Reporting Person until the other investors in the partnership had received distributions from the partnership equal to the amount of their respective investments in the partnership. The Reporting Person will not make a substantial cash investment in the partnership.
The Reporting Person reserves the right to acquire or dispose of Common Stock, or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Common Stock held by the Reporting Person to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment policies, market conditions and other factors.
