1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Baltic Trading Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and as of December 31, 2016, is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below under “Other General Information.”  As of December 31, 2016, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Genco Management (USA) Limited.

 

On April 15, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), proposals to amend the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 and (ii) authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more classes or series as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The authorized shares did not change as a result of the reverse stock split as discussed below. Following the Special Meeting on such date, the Company filed Articles of Amendment of its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to implement to the foregoing amendments. Additionally, at the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-25 with such reverse stock split to be effective at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, but no later than one year after shareholder approval thereof.  

 

On July 7, 2016, the Company completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock.  As a result, all share and per share information included for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, with the exception of any share information for Baltic Trading and for the Predecessor Company (as defined in the “Bankruptcy Filing” section below), reflect the reverse stock split.  Refer to Note 7 — Net Loss per Common Share and Note 23 — Stock-Based Compensation. 

 

On October 13, 2016, Peter C. Georgiopoulos resigned as Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company.  The Board of Directors appointed Arthur L. Regan, a director of the Company, as Interim Executive Chairman of the Board.  In connection with his departure, Mr. Georgiopoulos entered into a Separation Agreement and a Release Agreement with the Company on October 13, 2016.  Under the terms of these agreements, subject to customary conditions, Mr. Georgiopoulos received an amount equal to the annual Chairman’s fee awarded to him in recent years of $500 as a severance payment and full vesting of his unvested equity awards, which consisted of grants of 68,581 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants exercisable for approximately 213,937 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share ranging $259.10 to $341.90.  Refer to Note 23 — Stock-Based Compensation.  The agreements also contain customary provisions pertaining to confidential information, releases of claims by Mr. Georgiopoulos, and other restrictive covenants.

 

On November 15, 2016, pursuant to the Purchase Agreements (as defined in Note 9 — Debt), the Company completed the private placement of 27,061,856 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) which included 25,773,196 shares at a price per share of $4.85 and an additional 1,288,660 shares issued as a commitment fee on a pro rata basis.  The Company received net proceeds of $120,789 after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses.  On January 4, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved at a Special Meeting of Shareholders the issuance of up to 27,061,856 shares of common stock of the Company upon the conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which were purchased by certain investors in a private placement (the “Conversion Proposal”).  As a result of shareholder approval of the Conversion Proposal, all outstanding 27,061,856 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically and mandatorily converted into 27,061,856 shares of common stock of the Company on January 4, 2017.

 

Merger Agreement with Baltic Trading

 

On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading Limited ("Baltic Trading") under which the Company acquired Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “Merger”).  Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares settled in cash.  Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, the Company’s shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and former Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company.  Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which were owned by the Company) were canceled in the Merger.  The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015.  The Boards of Directors of both the Company and Baltic Trading established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies.  Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction.  The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the Merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, former Chairman of the Board of each company, recusing for the vote.  The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”).

 

Prior to the completion of the Merger, the Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and consolidated the operations of Baltic Trading. The Baltic Trading common shares that the Company acquired in the Merger were previously recognized as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are considered equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners) with any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid attributed to the equity of the parent. Accordingly, any difference between the fair value of the Company’s common shares issued in exchange for Baltic Trading common shares pursuant to the Merger was reflected as an adjustment to the equity in the Company. No gain or loss was recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss upon completion of the transaction.

 

Acquisition of Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger

 

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose vessel owning entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owned one Capesize drybulk vessel, specifically the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, for an aggregate purchase price of $68,500, subject to reduction for $40,563 of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that was guaranteed by the Company.  For further details, refer to the “Impairment of long-lived assets” section in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  These transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, were accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), for transactions amongst entities under common control.  Accordingly, the difference between the cash paid to Baltic Trading and the Company’s carrying value of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger as of the closing date of $590 was reflected as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Statements of Equity during the year ended December 31, 2015.  The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved these transactions.

 

Bankruptcy Filing

 

On April 21, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors implemented a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepack Plan”) for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014.  The Company subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014.

 

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to each of the following agreements or instruments:

 

·

the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions named therein as lenders, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto, relating to approximately $1,055,912 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “2007 Credit Facility”);

 

·

the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Aquitaine Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschaft, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as mandated lead arrangers, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as swap providers, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as agent for the lenders and the assignee, relating to approximately $175,718 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$253 Million Term Loan Facility”);

 

·

the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Ocean Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as agent and security trustee, relating to approximately $73,561 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”);

 

·

the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture relating to $125,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding of the Company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”) due August 15, 2015 (the “Indenture”); and

 

·

the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA, relating to a liability position of $5,622.

 

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, all indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Indenture was accelerated and became due and payable, and indebtedness under the other agreements and instruments described above were accelerated and become due and payable upon notice to the Company, subject to an automatic stay of any action to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Company or the other Debtors and the application of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the First Amended Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined below shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan.  On July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors completed their financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms.  References to “Successor Company” refer to the Company after July 9, 2014, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting (see “Financial Statement Presentation” section below).  References to “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to July 9, 2014.

 

Key components of the Plan included:

 

·

The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2007 Credit Facility into 81.1% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, and the liens and mortgages thereunder were released.  Refer to Note 9 — Debt for further information.

 

·

The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2010 Notes into 8.4% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.  Refer to Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes for further information.

 

·

A fully backstopped Rights Offering for approximately 8.7% of the Successor Company Common Stock, in which holders of 2007 Credit Facility Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 80% of the Successor Company Common Stock offered, and holders of the 2010 Notes Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 20% of the Successor Company Common Stock being offered under the Rights Offering for an aggregate subscription price of $100,000.

 

·

The amendment and restatement of the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility as of the Effective Date, with extended maturities, a financial covenant holiday and certain other amendments, as discussed further in Note 9 — Debt.

 

·

The cancellation of the common stock of the Predecessor Company as of the Effective Date, with the holders thereof receiving warrants to acquire shares of the Successor Company Common Stock. Each of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants is exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock, and holders received an aggregate of 3,938,298 of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants for the common stock of the Predecessor Company. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for approximately 6% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution).

 

·

Reinstatement, non-impairment or payment in full in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, including Allowed Claims of trade vendors, suppliers, customers and charterers, per the approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

·

The non-impairment of all other General Unsecured Claims under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

·

The establishment of the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), which provides for the distribution of the Successor Company’s MIP Primary Equity in the form of shares representing 1.8% of the Successor Company’s Common Stock and three tiers of the Successor Company’s MIP Warrants (“MIP Warrants”) with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values to the participating officers, directors, and other management of the Successor Company. These awards were made on August 7, 2014.  Refer to Note 23 — Stock-Based Compensation.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, the Successor Company and the Registration Rights Parties entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided the Registration Rights Parties who receive 10% or more of the Successor Company’s Common Stock under the Plan with demand and piggyback registration rights. This agreement was amended and restated in connection with our $125,000 equity raise to cover shares issued to with funds or related entities managed by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. or its affiliates (“Centerbridge”), Strategic Value Partners, LLC (“SVP”) and Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”). See Note 9 — Debt for further details of this equity raise.

 

Reorganization Value

 

The Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court estimated the distributable value of the Successor’s equity to be $1.23 billion (the “Distributable Value”). Various valuation methodologies were considered in the bankruptcy proceedings to estimate the Distributable Value. These methodologies included:

 

·

An asset-based methodology using net asset value, which incorporated (i) third-party appraisals of vessels, (ii) trading values for freely traded securities, (iii) book values for other balance sheet accounts and (iv) discounted cash flows for material contracts.

 

·

A precedent transactions methodology, which incorporated relevant transactions announced in the previous five years.

 

·

A comparable company methodology, which evaluated drybulk companies with similar operating profiles and adjusting to reflect differing characteristics like vessel ages.  The comparable company methodology takes into account comparable companies’ (i) capital structure, (ii) trading values, (iii) asset values, and (iv) projected EBITDA.  Projected EBITDA of each comparable company was determined by relying on equity research analyst projections.

 

·

A discounted cash flow methodology, which was premised on (i) the Company’s business plan, which incorporated leading industry consultant charter rate forecasts, (ii) a weighted average cost of capital of 10.1% and (iii) a terminal value based on the projected asset value of the fleet at the end of the four-year projection period.

 

The Distributable Value of the Company ranged from $1.1 - $1.4 billion based upon consideration of these various methodologies. Ultimately, after this was challenged in the bankruptcy proceedings, the bankruptcy court approved a Distributable Value in the amount of $1.23 billion in conjunction with confirmation of the plan, which was within this range and based on the asset-based methodology described above.  Management believed that the Distributable Value of $1.23 billion, which was derived using the asset based methodology described above and was approved by the bankruptcy court, provided the best representation of the Company’s post-emergence reorganization value as defined in ASC 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”).

 

Such valuation assumptions are not a prediction or reflection of post-confirmation trading prices of the Debtors’ common stock. Such securities may trade at substantially lower or higher prices because of a number of factors. The trading prices of securities issued under a plan of reorganization are subject to many unforeseen circumstances and therefore cannot be predicted.  The Company’s reorganization plan was based upon a distributable value of $1.23 billion which was agreed to by the prepetition lenders as part of a settlement embodied in the plan.

 

Successor Company Equity Warrant Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants totaling 3,938,298 were issued pursuant to the terms of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement (the “Equity Warrants”). Each of the Equity Warrants has a 7-year term (commencing on the day following the Effective Date) and are exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock. The Equity Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $209.90 per share. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement contains customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 3,936,761 Equity Warrants were not exercised.

 

The Equity Warrants were distributed to holders of the common stock of the Predecessor Company, which was cancelled as of the Effective Date. Shares of common stock of the Predecessor Company issued to directors, officers and employees of Genco under compensatory plans that were unvested as of the Effective Date were deemed vested automatically on the Effective Date, so that all Equity Warrants received in exchange were therefore deemed vested.  Refer to Note 23 — Stock-Based Compensation for further information.

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on July 9, 2014, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of ASC 852.  Upon adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their value as of the fresh-start reporting date.  The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities in conformance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” as of that date differed materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities.  Consequently, the Company’s historical financial statements may not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopted fresh-start reporting.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to July 9, 2014 will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations prior to July 9, 2014.

 

Under ASC 852, fresh-start reporting is required upon emergence from Chapter 11 if (i) the value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims; and (ii) holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity.  Accordingly, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start reporting as of the Effective Date. Adopting fresh-start reporting results in a new reporting entity with no beginning retained earnings or deficit. The cancellation of all existing shares outstanding on the Effective Date and issuance of new shares of the reorganized entity caused a related change of control of the Company under ASC 852.

 

The following fresh-start balance sheet illustrates the financial effects on the Company of the implementation of the Plan and the adoption of fresh-start reporting.  This fresh-start balance sheet reflects the effect of the completion of the transactions included in the Plan, including the issuance of equity and the settlement of old indebtedness. See Note 25 for details associated with the restatement of the certain previously reported financial information associated with the accounting for these transactions.

 

The effects of the Plan and fresh-start reporting on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (as restated) are as follows:

Adjustment of $179 to prepaid amounts for the Predecessor Company.

 

·

Adjustment to reflect the fair value of time charters acquired of $434.

 

·

Adjustment of $1,083,404 to reflect the fair value of vessel assets, vessel deposits, drydocking assets and other fixed assets as of the Effective Date.  The portion of the asset revaluation associated with Baltic Trading’s noncontrolling interest in the amount of $74,355 was reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interest.

 

·

Adjustment of $2,670 to reflect the fair value of the Company’s current lease agreement, which was previously recorded as long-term lease obligations.  As of the Effective Date, the lease agreement has been valued at below market; therefore, we have recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” an asset of $138, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the lease agreement.

 

·

Goodwill in the amount of $166,067 was recognized, which represents the portion of the total reorganization value that was not attributed to specific tangible or identifiable intangible assets.  The portion of the goodwill recognized in relation to Baltic Trading noncontrolling interest in the amount of $24,022 was reflected as an increase in noncontrolling interest.  A summary of the allocation of the reorganization value to the fair value of the Successor Company net assets, including goodwill, is as follows:

The total reduction of $53,367 in noncontrolling interest is due to the adjustment of the fair value of the noncontrolling interest derived from the Baltic Trading asset revaluation and goodwill described above and an additional revaluation adjustment of $3,034. The revalued noncontrolling interest was determined based on a relative fair value allocation of Baltic Trading Limited’s estimated equity value as July 8, 2014, which multiplied the percentage of Baltic Trading Limited’s equity ownership attributable to non-controlling interests by the estimated equity value of Baltic Trading Limited as of such date. The estimated equity value of Baltic Trading Limited as of such date was determined by multiplying the  closing price of Baltic Trading Limited's publicly traded common stock by the total number of shares of Baltic Trading Limited’s common stock and Class B stock outstanding on July 8, 2014.

The Company formerly provided technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners (“MEP”).  These services included oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but did not include chartering services.  The services were initially provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and were provided for an initial term of one year.   On September 30, 2015, under the oversight of an independent committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, Genco Management (USA) Limited and MEP entered into certain agreements under which MEP paid $2,178 of the amount of service fees in arrears (of which $261 was paid in 2016 by the new owners of five of the MEP vessels sold in January 2016 as described below) and the daily service fee was reduced from $750 to $650 per day effective on October 1, 2015. During January 2016, five of MEP’s vessels were sold to third-parties and were no longer subject to the agency agreement.  Based upon the September 30, 2015 agreement, termination fees were due in the amount of $296 which was assumed by the new owners of the five MEP vessels that were sold and has been paid in full during February 2016.  Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the remaining seven of MEP’s vessels were sold to third parties, and the agency agreement was deemed terminated upon the sale of these vessels.  Based upon the September 30, 2015 agreement, termination fees were due in the amount of $830, which was assumed by the new owners of the seven MEP vessels that were sold and were paid in full as of September 30, 2016.  MEP has been dissolved.  Refer to Note 8 — Related Party Transactions for amounts due to or from MEP as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
