During the year ended December 31, 2021, there was a distribution to the Company of $2.5 million. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no returns of capital advances or distributions to shareholders.

(“CME”), UP Offshore (Bahamas) Ltd. (“UP Offshore”), a provider of offshore support vessel services to the energy industry in Brazil and a wholly owned subsidiary of MEXMAR Offshore, and certain of subsidiaries of UP Offshore, completed the sale of eight vessels and certain Brazilian entities to Oceanpact Servicos Maritimos S.A. and its subsidiary, OceanPact Netherlands B.V., for a total purchase price of $30.2 million (the “UP Offshore Sale Transaction”).

As part of the winddown of the MEXMAR Offshore joint venture, ownership of two of these PSVs was transferred from UP Offshore to OVH on October 26, 2021, and the remaining PSV was transferred from UP Offshore to OVH on November 2, 2021. On December 10, 2021, OVH and OPEM settled the $10.0 million loan in exchange for OPEM making an early repayment of $10.5 million, reflecting repayment of the principal amount in full and a prepayment discount and forgiveness of approximately $4.1 million of accrued interest.
