Item 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information provided in Item 2.01 of this Report is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (defined below in Item 2.01 of this Report).

On April 30, 2018, in connection with the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01 of this Report, the following agreements to which Trans World Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was a party prior to the consummation of the Merger were terminated:

(1)All Company Stock Awards (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”)  were terminated or cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the consideration to which such Company Stock Awards were entitled, if any, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(2)All Company Stock Plans (as defined in the Merger Agreement) were terminated.

Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On April 30, 2018, the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 2, 2018, by and among the Company, FEC Overseas Investment (UK) Limited, a limited company formed under the laws of the United Kingdom (the “Parent”), FEC Investment (US) Limited, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Purchaser”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Far East Consortium International Limited (“FEC”), including the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), were consummated.

At the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except those shares: (i) held by any of the Company’s shareholders who are entitled to, and who properly demand, appraisal rights and comply with the requirements of Section 92A.300-500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes,  or (ii) owned by the Company, Parent or Purchaser and/or any of their respective subsidiaries), were canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $4.1886 per share, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

At the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unexercised option, warrant, Company Stock Award or other similar Right to purchase Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including but not limited to any such Company Stock Awards with an exercise price per share that was less than $4.1886 (excluding any “Restricted Stock” or “Deferred Stock” collectively, “Exercisable In-The-Money Options”) were terminated in exchange for the right to receive, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes, a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Exercisable In-The-Money Options multiplied by (ii)  the amount by which $4.1886 exceeded the per share exercise price of such Exercisable In-The-Money Option. Each Company Stock Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that constituted a share of Restricted Stock or a share of Deferred Stock that was subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions (i) automatically vested and became free of such restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) were automatically cancelled and retired, and (iii) were automatically converted into the right to receive $4.1886 per share of Restricted or Deferred Stock, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes.

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Purchaser was automatically converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Surviving Corporation, so that immediately after the Effective Time, Parent became the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation.

The aggregate value of the consideration paid to former holders of Company common stock and Company Stock Awards, Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock described above in connection with the Merger was approximately $42.0 million, minus the Company Expenses which were approximately $944,864.02 (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
