Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
This statement on Schedule 13D (this "Schedule 13D") relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp., a Maryland corporation ("Silver Bay"). Shares of Silver Bay's common stock are referred to herein as the "Shares." Silver Bay's principal executive offices are located at 3300 Fernbrook Lane North, Suite 210, Plymouth, Minnesota 55447.



Item 2.  Identity and Background.
This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by Irvin R. Kessler and Deephaven, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Deephaven" and together with Mr. Kessler, the "Reporting Persons"), in connection with the support agreement described in Item 4 below.

Mr. Kessler is a director of Silver Bay and sole owner, director and Chief Executive Officer of Deephaven, an Arizona based S corporation, which is effectively a holding company for an alternative investment advisory business and the Kessler family's business interests.  The address of Deephaven is 6210 E. Indian Bend Rd, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253.  Mr. Kessler is a United States citizen.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3.  Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Support Agreement (defined below) (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference) was entered into between Tricon Capital Group Inc. ("Tricon") and the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons did not pay any amount in connection with the execution and delivery of the Support Agreement and as a result no funds were used for such purpose.  In the Merger (defined below), the Reporting Persons will receive $21.50 for each Share directly and beneficially owned by them immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Shares held by the Kessler Family Limited Partnership were acquired in Silver Bay's initial public offering in which several entities controlled by Mr. Kessler were contributed to Silver Bay and investors in those entities received Shares in exchange for their membership interest in the contributed entities.  Shares held by Deephaven were distributed to Deephaven from an affiliate for no consideration.



Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
Silver Bay, Silver Bay Management LLC, Silver Bay LP, Tricon, TAH Acquisition LP and TAH Acquisition Holdings LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 27, 2017 (the "Merger Agreement").  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, Silver Bay will merge with and into TAH Acquisition Holdings LLC, with TAH Acquisition Holdings LLC being the surviving entity (the "Merger").

As a condition and inducement to Tricon's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the directors of Silver Bay, including Mr. Kessler, and certain executive officers of Silver Bay (together with the Silver Bay directors, the "supporting stockholders") entered into support agreements.  The purpose of the support agreements is to facilitate the approval of the Merger and Merger Agreement by Silver Bay stockholders, which is required in order to consummate the Merger.

Pursuant to the support agreement between Tricon and the Reporting Persons (the "Support Agreement"), the Reporting Persons have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Support Agreement, to vote all of their Shares (or any additional Shares or other interests in Silver Bay or Silver Bay LP that they acquire beneficial

ownership of, or the power to dispose of or vote or direct the disposition or voting of, after the date of the Support Agreement) in the following manner:

in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

against the approval of any (i) Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Silver Bay or any other extraordinary transaction involving Silver Bay, in each case other than the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) change in persons who constitute the Board or (iv) corporate action (including any amendment of Silver Bay's organizational documents) the consummation of which would or could reasonably be expected to frustrate, prevent, or delay the consummation, of any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Support Agreement terminates automatically on the earliest of (i) the effective time of the Merger (in the case of Shares) or the effective time of the partnership merger described in the Merger Agreement (in the case of OP Common Units of Silver Bay LP), as the case may be, (ii) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iii) the mutual written consent of Tricon and the Reporting Persons.

The support agreement entered into by the other supporting stockholders is substantially similar to the Support Agreement entered into by the Reporting Persons.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full terms of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Following the Merger, the Shares will be delisted so that they are no longer traded on the New York Stock Exchange, there will be no public market for the Shares and registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.

Item 3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Merger described above, there are no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
 
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
 (a) – (b)

The aggregate number of Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates is 2,307,518 Shares, representing 6.5% of the 35,471,905 Shares outstanding as of February 16, 2017, as reported by Silver Bay in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  Under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each Reporting Person may beneficially own Shares as set forth below.

4.2 Publicity.  The Holder, and each of the Holder's subsidiaries or other Affiliates, if any, shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives, if any, not to, directly or indirectly, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication with respect to this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Ultimate Parent.  The Holder hereby (a) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Ultimate Parent and the Company (including in the Proxy Statement and any other publicly filed documents relating to the Mergers or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) of: (i) the Holder's identity; (ii) the Holder's Beneficial Ownership of Company Shares and/or the Company OP Common Units; and (iii) the nature of the Holder's commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and (b) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Ultimate Parent and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Holder specifically for use in any such Proxy Statement or other disclosure document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Holder (or any of the Holder's Representatives) who is an officer or member of the Company Board, solely in their capacity as such, in each case only as permitted by the Merger Agreement.
4.3 Additional Shares; Changes to Shares; Stop-Transfer Order.
(a) In the event that any Holder acquires Beneficial Ownership of, or the power to dispose of or vote or direct the disposition or voting of, any additional Company Shares, Company OP Common Units or other interests in or with respect to the Company or the Company LP, such Company Shares, Company OP Common Units or other interests shall, without further action of the parties, be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the term "Company Shares" or "Company OP Common Units" shall be deemed to refer to and include
such additional Company Shares, Company OP Common Units or other interests in or with respect to the Company or the Company LP.  The Holder shall promptly notify Ultimate Parent of any such event.
(b) In case of a stock or partnership interest dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Shares or the Company OP Common Units by reason of any stock or partnership interest dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or interests or the like, the term "Company Shares" or "Company OP Common Units" shall be deemed to refer to and include the Company Shares or the Company OP Common Units as well as all such stock or other partnership interest dividends and distributions and any securities into which, or for which, any or all of the Company Shares or Company OP Common Units may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.
4.4 Actions.  The Holder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any Action, against any of the Parent Parties or their Affiliates, any of the Company Parties or their Affiliates or any of their respective successors, directors, officers or other employees relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or consummation of the Mergers, including any Action (x) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation or consummation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Closing) or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Holder agrees to provide prompt written notice to Ultimate Parent upon obtaining knowledge of the commencement, or the threat of commencement, of any such claims set forth in the foregoing clause (ii).
4.5 Company OP Common Units.  In connection with the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Holder who Beneficially Owns any Company OP Common Units on the date hereof hereby acknowledges and agrees that the cash consideration payable for the Company OP Common Units still Beneficially Owned by the Holder at the Partnership Merger Effective Time pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Merger Agreement (once paid in accordance with the terms thereof) shall represent full consideration in exchange for such Company OP Common Units and that all of such Company OP Common Units shall be retired and shall cease to exist at the Partnership Merger Effective Time.  In the event of a transfer to the Company or the Company LP of a Holder's Company OP Common Units in accordance with the terms of the redemption rights prescribed in Section 15.1 of the Company LP Agreement on a Specified Redemption Date (as defined in the Company LP Agreement) occurring prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, any Company Shares received by the Holder upon such transfer shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions hereof applicable to a Holder of Company Shares.
SECTION 5 MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Other Definitional and Interpretative Provisions.  Unless specified otherwise, in this Agreement the obligations of any party hereto consisting of more than one Person are several and not joint.  For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (i) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; and (ii) the masculine gender shall
include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."  Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to "Sections," "Exhibits," "Annexes" and "Schedules" are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement.  The words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  All references in this Agreement to "$" are intended to refer to U.S. dollars.  The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.  References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person.
5.2 Further Assurances.  Ultimate Parent and the Holder (in their respective capacity as such) will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments as the other may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.3 Amendments; Termination.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically with respect to the Holder upon the earliest of (i) the Parent Merger Effective Time (in the case of the Company Shares) or the Partnership Merger Effective Time (in the case of the Company OP Common Units), as the case may be, (ii) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or (iii) the mutual written consent of Ultimate Parent and the Holder; provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any willful material breach of any provision of this Agreement prior to such termination and this Article 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Expenses.  Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement are consummated, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement shall not be assignable by any Holder without the express written consent of Ultimate Parent.
5.6 Third Party Beneficiaries.   Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature.
 5.7    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
5.8 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
5.9 Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by any Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.  Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
5.10 Specific Performance.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur to Ultimate Parent in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy that Ultimate Parent may have under Law or in equity, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Holder of any covenant or obligation of the Holder contained in this Agreement, Ultimate Parent shall be entitled to (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.   The Holder hereby waives (x) any defenses based on the adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by Ultimate Parent and (y) any requirement for the posting of any bond or other security.
 5.11    Defined Terms.  For the purposes of this Agreement:
       (a)  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
       (b)  The Holder shall be deemed to "Beneficially Own" or to have acquired "Beneficial Ownership" of a security if the Holder (a) is the record owner of such security; or (b) is the "beneficial owner" with respect to the investment authority of such security (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act).
       (c)  "Holder Credit Line" shall mean the arrangements described in Annex A hereto.
       (d)  "Support Period" shall mean the period from the date of this Agreement through the date upon which this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.
5.12 Action in the Holder's Capacity Only.  The Holder, if a director, officer or other employee of the Company, does not make any agreement or understanding herein as a director,
officer or other employee of the Company.  The Holder signs this Agreement solely in his, her or its capacity as a Beneficial Owner of the Company Shares or the Company OP Common Units, and, except as set forth in Section 4.1(c), nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken in a Holder's capacity as an director, officer or other employee of the Company, including complying with or exercising the Holder's fiduciary duties as a member of the Company Board.
5.13 Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, consents, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by telecopy, e-mail or telefacsimile, by a recognized courier service, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and in each case shall be deemed duly given on the date of actual delivery, upon confirmation of receipt.  All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth below, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the Party to receive such notice, and a copy of each notice shall also be sent via e-mail.

 5.14    Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction.  This agreement is made under, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law that would cause the applicability of any laws other than the Laws of the State of Delaware.  Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to and submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court, (c) shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (d) shall not bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court.  Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Person with respect thereto.
5.15 Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 5.16    Rules of Construction.  The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
 5.17    Waiver.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.  No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
