 Page 4 of 13 Pages 

 

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Items 3, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

As described in more detail in Item 6 below:

(i)At Completion (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), INCJ SJ received 3,465,000 Common Shares in connection with their sale of the entire issued share capital in Atlantis Investorco Limited to the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement; and

 

(ii)On November 11, 2021, INCJ SJ received an additional 227,320 Common Shares pursuant to (A) clause 6 of the Share Purchase Agreement and the exercise of the Warrant; and (B) clause 7 of the Share Purchase Agreement as a result of the employment of the vessel Seajacks Scylla during the period from May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

 

In connection with the Completion, on August 12, 2021, the Company increased the size of the Board from eight to ten members and appointed Peter Niklai and Hiroshi Tachigami to serve as a Class C and Class A Directors respectively, effective as of the same date.

On May 12, 2022, Peter Niklai resigned from his position as a Class C Director, effective as of the same date.

INCJ SJ is considering a potential sale of a portion of its stake in an orderly fashion over time, subject to applicable Rule 144 volume limitations, market conditions and other factors. Each Reporting Person otherwise intends to review its investment in the Company and the Company’s performance and market conditions periodically and to take such actions with respect to its investment as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. In the future, each Reporting Person may take actions including, among other things, communication with members of management, the Board or other shareholders of or lenders to the Company and/or other relevant parties from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters, including, but not limited to, potential financings, re-financings, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, a sale of the Company or other corporate transactions, or otherwise working with management and the Board. Such actions could also include additional purchases of Common Shares and purchases of securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, whether pursuant to one or more open-market purchase programs, through private transactions or through tender offers or otherwise. Any possible future purchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of Common Shares, the Company’s business and financial position, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, each Reporting Person may also determine to dispose of its Common Shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, subject to any legal or contractual limitations and other considerations, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise. Any such decision would be based on such Reporting Person’s assessment of a number of different factors, including, without limitation, the business, prospects and affairs of the Company, the market for Common Shares, the condition of the securities markets, general economic and industry conditions, tax considerations and other opportunities available to such Reporting Person.

Other than as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
