The prior Amendment-13 amended the original Schedule 13D filed on September 20, 1995, as the same has been previously amended, supplemented and restated by each of Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on January 22, 1996, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on March 27, 1996, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on November 29, 1996, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on February 12, 1997, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on May 14, 1997, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on October 21, 1997, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on January 22, 1998, Amendment No. 8 thereto filed on September 18, 1998, Amendment No. 9 thereto filed on December 30, 1998, Amendment No. 10 thereto filed on April 3, 2014 (“Amendment-10”), Amendment No. 11 thereto filed on March 21, 2018 and Amendment No. 12 thereto filed on January 8, 2019.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment-14 have the meanings given to them in Amendment-13.

 

This Amendment-14 is being jointly filed by the Reporting Persons pursuant to a joint filing agreement attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment-10 to report transactions on or about October 25, 2019.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

 

On October 22, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., Houston time, a special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer was held at the Issuer’s corporate headquarters, 1001 West Loop South, Suite 750, Houston, Texas 77027, USA. At the special meeting, the Issuer’s stockholders voted in favor of the proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 20, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Naphtha, Holding, IOC, and Naphtha US Oil, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of IOC (“Merger Sub” and, together with Naphtha, Holding and IOC, the “Purchaser Parties”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Merger”).

 

On October 25, 2019, the Issuer filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Merger became effective. As of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, other than shares owned by the Issuer as treasury stock, shares beneficially owned by IOC or Holding, and shares owned by holders of Common Stock who neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who have properly and validly perfected, and not effectively withdrawn or lost, their statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law, was converted into the right to receive $121.40 in cash per share, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes. By virtue of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock owned by the Issuer as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled without payment of any consideration.

 

As a result of the transactions described above, the Reporting Persons, as a group, beneficially own all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Naphtha and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons caused the Common Stock of the Issuer to cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 24, 2019. The Issuer has requested that NASDAQ file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 to remove the Common Stock from listing on the NASDAQ and to deregister the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Additionally, the Issuer intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  

   

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which was filed as Exhibit 99.10 to the Issuer’s Schedule 13D, as filed on May 20, 2019 and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
