Item 1. Security and Issuer.
-------------------
This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relates to shares
of common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Seabulk Common Stock") of Seabulk
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Seabulk"). The principal executive
offices of Seabulk are located at 2200 Eller Drive, P.O. Box 13038, Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida 33316.
Item 2. Identity and Background
-----------------------
This statement is filed by SEACOR Holdings Inc. ("SEACOR").
SEACOR and its subsidiaries are in the business of owning, operating,
investing in, marketing and remarketing equipment, primarily in the offshore oil
and gas and marine transportation industries. SEACOR also provides emergency
environmental response and related services. SEACOR operates a diversified fleet
of offshore support vessels and helicopters servicing oil and gas exploration,
development and production facilities worldwide. SEACOR also operates a fleet of
inland river barges transporting grain and other bulk commodities on the U.S.
inland waterways. The environmental services segment provides oil spill
response, handles environmental remediation projects and offers related
consulting services worldwide to those who store, transport, produce or handle
petroleum products and environmentally hazardous materials.
SEACOR's principal executive offices are located at 11200 Richmond
Avenue, Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77082.
Annex A attached to this Schedule 13D contains the following
information concerning each director and executive officer of SEACOR: (a) the
name and residence or business address; (b) the principal occupation or
employment and (c) the name, principal business and address of any corporation
or other organization in which such employment is conducted. Annex A is
incorporated herein by reference. To the knowledge of SEACOR, each of the
persons named on Annex A (the "Annex A Persons") is a United States citizen
(other than Messrs. Cowderoy, de Demondolx and Strachan). During the last five
years, neither SEACOR nor any of the Annex A Persons (to the knowledge of
SEACOR) has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of
such proceeding, is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
-------------------------------------------------
No shares of Seabulk Common Stock will be purchased pursuant to the
Stockholders' Agreement. SEACOR may be deemed to have obtained beneficial
ownership of Seabulk Common Stock pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement
described below based on SEACOR's voting power with respect to the covered
shares.
3
On March 16, 2005, SEACOR entered into a stockholders' agreement (the
"Stockholders' Agreement") with each of Nautilus Acquisition, L.P., C/R Marine
Non-U.S. Partnership, L.P., C/R Marine Domestic Partnership, L.P., C/R Marine
Coinvestment, L.P., and C/R Marine Coinvestment II, L.P. (the "Significant
Stockholders"). The Significant Stockholders entered into the Stockholders'
Agreement as an inducement for SEACOR to enter into the Merger Agreement
discussed in Item 4 and in consideration thereof. SEACOR has not paid additional
consideration to the Significant Stockholders or Seabulk in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Stockholders' Agreement.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
--------------------------
(a)-(j) On March 16, 2005, SEACOR, SBLK Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR ("Merger Sub"), CORBULK LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR
("LLC"), and Seabulk entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which SEACOR will acquire Seabulk in a stock and cash
transaction.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Seabulk
will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the "Reverse Merger"), and Seabulk will
continue as the surviving corporation of the Reverse Merger and as a wholly
owned subsidiary of SEACOR. The transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement are intended, for Federal income tax purposes, to qualify as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. The Merger Agreement contemplates that, if necessary to
preserve the tax status of the transactions, immediately following the effective
time of the Reverse Merger, the surviving corporation in the Reverse Merger will
be merged with and into LLC and LLC will continue as the surviving entity and as
a wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR.
SEACOR has agreed to issue 0.2694 (the "Exchange Ratio") of a share
of its common stock and $4.00 in cash in exchange for each issued and
outstanding share of common stock of Seabulk. In certain circumstances, the
portion of the merger consideration payable in cash may be reduced and shares of
SEACOR common stock, having a value on the closing date equal to the cash
reduction, may be substituted therefor.
All outstanding Seabulk stock options will be assumed by SEACOR. Each
such option for Seabulk Common Stock will then become exercisable for SEACOR
common stock using the Exchange Ratio, plus the cash component.
SEACOR entered into the Stockholders' Agreement in connection with
the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, each of the
Significant Stockholders has agreed to vote, and has granted to SEACOR an
irrevocable proxy to vote, all of the Seabulk Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Significant Stockholder, together with any shares of Seabulk Common Stock
acquired after the date of the Stockholders' Agreement (collectively, the
"Voting Shares") at any meeting or meetings of the Seabulk stockholders at which
4
the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder are submitted
for the vote of the Significant Stockholders or in any written consent in
respect thereof: (i) for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement (as
amended from time to time) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, as applicable, (ii) against any Takeover Proposal (as such term is
defined in the Merger Agreement), without regard to any Board recommendation to
stockholders concerning such Takeover Proposal, and without regard to the terms
of such Takeover Proposal, (iii) against any agreement, amendment of any
agreement (including the Seabulk's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws), or
any other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent,
impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or discourage the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or (iv) against any action, agreement,
transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of Seabulk in the Merger
Agreement.
In addition to the other covenants and agreements of the Significant
Stockholders provided for in the Stockholders' Agreement, from the date of
execution of the Stockholders' Agreement until the first to occur of the
effective time of the Reverse Merger or the termination of the Stockholders'
Agreement, each of the Significant Stockholders has agreed, generally and except
as permitted or required by the Merger Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Parent, not to, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, give,
pledge, encumber, assign, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise transfer
or dispose of, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding to
sell, any Voting Shares (collectively, "Transfer") other than to its affiliates,
provided that as a condition to such Transfer, such affiliate shall execute an
agreement that is identical to the Stockholders' Agreement (except to reflect
the change of the Significant Stockholder) at which time, such Stockholder's
obligations thereunder shall terminate with respect to such shares. C/R Marine
Coinvestment II, L.P. is expressly permitted to transfer any or all of its
shares to its limited partners, and in such event, such limited partners shall
not be required to execute an agreement that is identical to the Stockholders'
Agreement.
In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance
with its terms, the Stockholders' Agreement shall terminate without any further
action by the parties thereto. The Stockholders' Agreement shall be deemed
satisfied in full and terminated upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders'
Agreement, SEACOR and the Significant Stockholders entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2005. Shares of SEACOR common stock to
be issued to the Significant Stockholders under the terms of the Merger
Agreement will be subject to certain restrictions under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement,
SEACOR agreed, among other things, that no later than 30 days after the closing
date of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, it will file a
shelf registration statement relating to the offer and sale by the Significant
Stockholders of their shares of SEACOR common stock acquired in the merger.
5
SEACOR agreed to keep the shelf registration statement effective for three years
from the effective time of the Reverse Merger, which period may be extended in
certain circumstances. SEACOR also agreed to assist the Significant Stockholders
in effecting up to three underwritten offerings pursuant to the shelf
registration statement. Finally, SEACOR has also agreed to afford the
Significant Stockholders certain demand and piggyback registration rights.
The foregoing summaries of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders'
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are summaries only and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the
Stockholders' Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, each of which is
being filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The purpose of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
is for SEACOR to acquire control of Seabulk. Upon consummation of such
transactions, Seabulk will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SEACOR, the
shares of Seabulk Common Stock will cease to be freely traded or listed, Seabulk
Common Stock will be de-registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and SEACOR will control the board of directors of Seabulk and will make such
other changes in the charter, bylaws, capitalization, management and business of
Seabulk as may be appropriate in SEACOR's judgment.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions described in
subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
------------------------------------
The information contained in Item 3 and Item 4 and Rows (11) through
(13) of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D are incorporated
herein by reference.
(a)-(b) Prior to March 16, 2005, SEACOR was not the beneficial owner
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any shares of
Seabulk Common Stock. Upon execution of the Stockholders' Agreement, SEACOR may
be deemed to have acquired sole voting power (for the sole purposes described in
the Stockholders' Agreement) with respect to, and to that extent only,
beneficial ownership of, shares of Seabulk Common Stock beneficially owned by
each of the Significant Stockholders. Based on representations made by the
Significant Stockholders in the Stockholders' Agreement, the Significant
Stockholders beneficially own 17,678,026 shares of Seabulk Common Stock
(including warrants on an as-converted-to Seabulk Common Stock basis)
constituting approximately 75% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
Seabulk Common Stock (based on 23,594,520 shares of Seabulk Common Stock
outstanding as of March 1, 2005, as represented by Seabulk in the Merger
Agreement).
6
Except as disclosed in this Item 5, the Reporting Person does not
and, to the best of its knowledge, none of the directors or executive officers
of SEACOR, beneficially owns any shares of Seabulk Common Stock.
(c) Neither SEACOR nor, to the knowledge of SEACOR, any person named
in Annex A, has effected any transaction in Seabulk Common Stock during the past
60 days.
(d) To SEACOR's knowledge, each Significant Stockholder has the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of Seabulk Common Stock owned by such Significant
Stockholder and reported by this statement.
(e) Not applicable.
References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the
Stockholders' Agreement as set forth above in this Item 5 are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and
are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
-------------------------------------------------------------
Respect to the Securities of the Issuer.
---------------------------------------
Other than as described in Items 3, 4 and 5 and the agreements
incorporated herein by reference and set forth as exhibits hereto, to the
knowledge of SEACOR, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between
such persons and any person with respect to any securities of Seabulk, including
but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees,
joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
