Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed by Hercules Offshore, Inc. (the “Company”) on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2016, the Company and certain of its U.S. domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) and certain of the Company’s other domestic and foreign direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with the Debtors, the “HERO Entities”) on May 26, 2016, as amended by the Amendment to the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated July 8, 2016, and the Amendment No. 2 to the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated August 12, 2016, entered into an agreement (as may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, together, with the term sheet, the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with an ad hoc group of lenders (each an “Ad Hoc Group Member” and collectively, the “Ad Hoc Group”) representing approximately 99% of the obligations outstanding under the credit agreement entered into on November 6, 2015, among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Restructuring Support Agreement sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitment to and obligations of, on the one hand, the HERO Entities, and on the other hand, each of the Ad Hoc Group Members (and any successors or permitted assigns that become party thereto) in connection with a controlled wind down of the HERO Entities’ operations pursuant to, among other things, a pre-packaged plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on June 5, 2016 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”).

On November 2, 2016, the Company and the other HERO Entities entered into Amendment No. 3 to Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA Amendment”) with each of the Ad Hoc Group Members. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the RSA Amendment. Pursuant to the RSA Amendment:

 

  (i) the outside date to enter a confirmation order with the Court is extended to November 11, 2016, which shall be a final order on or before November 25, 2016;

 

  (ii) the outside date to consummate the Plan is extended to December 2, 2016;

 

  (iii) the amount of the Rejection Lender Wind Down Claim (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) is reduced by $32.5 million to $546.5 million;

 

  (iv) if the class of Company common stock (“HERO Common Stock”) votes to reject the Plan, the pro rata amount that each holder of HERO Common Stock receives is increased to also include the Rejection Shareholder Cash Distribution (as defined in the Plan);

 

  (v) under the terms of the Plan, holders of HERO Common Stock (except for holders of HERO Common Stock that are also First Lien Lenders that are parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement) are not deemed to be released or deemed to have given releases with respect to certain claims or causes of action under the Plan; if the class of HERO Common Stock holders vote to reject the Plan, and upon the payment in full of the Lender Wind Down Claim (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement), the two members of the Wind Down Entity Board (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) designated by the Requisite Consenting Lenders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) shall be replaced by two members designated by the Equity Committee provided, that the Equity Committee shall have designated such members by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on October 11, 2016;

 

  (vi) if the class of HERO Common Stock holders vote to reject the Plan, the Wind Down Entity (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) shall make distributions (i) first, on account of the Rejection Shareholder Cash Distribution, (ii) after the Rejection Shareholder Cash Distribution has been funded in full, on account of the Rejection Lender Wind Down Claim and (iii) after payment in full of the Rejection Lender Wind Down Claim, to holders of Wind Down Entity Interests on a pro rata basis; and


  (vii) the provisions relating to the severance and incentive plans for the Executives (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) were comprehensively updated.

The RSA Amendment was necessitated by a change to the timeline of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases occasioned by the agreement of the Debtors, the Ad Hoc Group and the official committee of equity security holders appointed in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases to participate in, and the determination by the Court to order, mediation with respect to certain objections filed to the Plan and related matters, as well as certain modifications to the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Plan that were agreed to by the parties. Court-ordered mediation before The Honorable Christopher S. Sontchi took place on September 6, 2016 (the “Mediation”). In connection with the Mediation, the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Group reached a settlement (the “Mediation Settlement”), which related to, among other things, the First Lien Claim Reduction Amount (as defined in the Plan) and the Rejection Shareholder Cash Distribution. The Court hearing to consider the confirmation of the Plan, incorporating the Mediation Settlement, commenced on September 22, 2016 and concluded on September 27, 2016. On November 1, 2016, the Court issued an opinion confirming the Plan.

The summary of the RSA Amendment set forth above does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the RSA Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in that certain Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 1, 2016, on August 31, 2016, Hercules Offshore Middle East Ltd. (the “Seller”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Advanced Energy Systems (ADES) S.A.E. (the “Buyer”). On November 2, 2016, the Buyer completed the purchase from the Seller of three jack-up drilling rigs named Hercules 261, Hercules 262 and Hercules 266 in their entirety, together with everything onboard or onshore, if any, relating solely to such rigs, including all mentioned or unmentioned provisions, spare parts and equipment onboard, rig site inventory, drawings, operating manuals, maintenance records, service contracts and all other documents pertaining to them for $65,088,800 in cash.

The summary of the Purchase Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The gross proceeds received from the sale described in Item 2.01 above were consistent with the estimate that informed the Debtors’ updated recovery analysis filed with the Court on September 15, 2016, and the estimate as to total proceeds to be obtained by the Debtors and their non-Debtor affiliates set forth therein has not changed in any material respect since that filing was made.

EXECUTION VERSION

 

The Wind Down Entity Agreement shall provide that:

“On the Effective Date, subject to the applicable Executive having continued their employment with the Debtors until the Effective Date, or such Executive having been terminated without Cause (as defined in such Executive’s employment agreement) prior to the Effective Date, the following terms of compensation shall apply with respect to services to be provided by such Executive to the Wind Down Entity:

(i) upon the latest of (x) the Effective Date, (y) December 31, 2016 and (z) entry into a definitive agreement for the sale of the Hercules Triumph or the Hercules Resilience (the “Payment Trigger Date”), each Executive shall be entitled to payment of an amount equal to such Executive’s annual bonus in respect of 2015 that was paid to such Executive in 2016 (the “Bonus Amount”); provided, however, that the Bonus Amounts paid to the Executives shall not exceed $1.51 million in the aggregate; and

(ii) so long as an Executive is employed by the Wind Down Entity after the Effective Date, for any period that such Executive is so employed during the period from the Effective Date through December 31, 2016, such Executive shall be compensated for his continued employment at a rate of 150% of base salary as of the Petition Date (with 125% of his base salary paid current and 25% deferred until the Payment Trigger Date (the “Deferral Compensation”)) and for any period of employment by the Wind Down Entity from and after December 31, 2016 on such terms as may be agreed to by the Wind Down Entity and the Executive.

In the event an Executive resigns without “Executive Cause” (which shall mean the failure of the Wind Down Entity to pay such Executive his compensation when due in accordance with the terms hereof or if the Executive is asked to perform any services that are immoral, illegal or unethical) prior to the Payment Trigger Date or is terminated for Cause prior to the Payment Trigger Date, the Executive shall forfeit his rights to the Bonus Amount and the Deferral Compensation, but shall retain his rights to receive and retain payments contemplated to be paid to such Executive under Article IV.N. of the Plan.”

 

  13. This Amendment No. 3 and the Agreement (including the Term Sheet that is attached to, and fully incorporated in, the Agreement), together, contain the complete agreement among the HERO Entities and the Ad Hoc Group Members and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, letters of intent or representations by or among such parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate to the subject matter hereof. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Agreement, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.
