This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on November 24, 2023, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on December 5, 2023, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D on December 13, 2023, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D on January 10, 2024 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D on January 26, 2024 (the “Initial 13D”, and the Initial 13D as further amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons, relating to the common shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp., a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial 13D.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Initial 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraph to the end thereof:

 

“From and including January 26, 2024, through and including January 31, 2024, Sphinx purchased an additional 59,069 Common Shares for a total purchase price of $454,147 including fees and expenses. The source of funds used by Sphinx to purchase the Common Shares is its working capital. Unless noted above, no part of the purchase price for such Common Shares was borrowed by any Reporting Person for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting any securities discussed in this Item 3.”

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraph to the end thereof:

 

“On March 4, 2024, Sphinx, one of the Reporting Persons, commenced litigation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands against Stamatis Tsantanis, Christina Anagnostara, Dimitrios Anagnostopoulos, Elias Culucundis, Ioannis (John) Kartsonas (the “Director Defendants”) and the Issuer by filing a complaint in the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that by approving a transaction—namely, the issuance to Mr. Tsantanis for $250,000 of the Issuer’s super-voting Series B Preferred Stock—that in Sphinx’s view disenfranchised outsider stockholders, had no economic rationale, and gave Mr. Tsantanis and other members of the Board perpetual control over the Issuer without obtaining a control premium for the Issuer’s outsider stockholders, the Director Defendants put their own interests and the interests of Mr. Tsantanis above the Issuer’s interests, thereby breaching their fiduciary duties and causing continued harm to Sphinx.  The complaint seeks, among other things, to void and cancel the Series B Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Tsantanis, to cancel the certificate of designation for the Series B Preferred Stock, to prohibit Mr. Tsantanis from exercising the voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and to prohibit the Issuer from recognizing any such votes purportedly cast.

 

A copy of the complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.”
