Unless otherwise indicated, all defined terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

As described in the Current Report filed by the Issuer on May 18, 2017, on May 17, 2017, the Issuer filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to pursue a Chapter 11 Plan of the Issuer (the “Plan”). On October 4, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report filed by the Issuer on October 5, 2017. 5 Essex was a holder of Unsecured Notes Claims (as described in the Plan), and, at the time of effectiveness of the Plan on November 14, 2017, 5 Essex received 1,168,816 shares of the Common Stock issued under the Plan.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the Plan on November 14, 2017, 5 Essex received 1,168,816 shares of the Common Stock in aggregate as follows: (i) 347,597 shares in exchange for $41,891,000 of Unsecured Notes Claims, (ii) 745,871 shares in exchange for $15,536,492.93 paid by 5 Essex to exercise 5 Essex’s rights to purchase such shares in the Rights Offering described in the Plan (including by backstopping the Rights Offering), and (iii) 75,348 shares as a commitment premium for backstopping the Rights Offering.

 

In addition, Captain Q expended $158,346 of the funds of 5 Essex to purchase 8,334 shares of the Common Stock.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

 

As previously announced by the Issuer, on July 15, 2018, the Issuer entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tidewater Inc. (“Tidewater”).

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Captain Q (on behalf of 5 Essex) entered into a voting and support agreement with Tidewater (the “Voting Agreement”) in which 5 Essex has agreed, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, to vote 914,882.01 of the shares reported herein (the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, including the Mergers (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement). 5 Essex also agreed to certain restrictions on transfer of the Covered Shares as well as restrictions on transfer of voting rights with respect to the Covered Shares. The obligations of 5 Essex under the Voting Agreement will automatically terminate without any further action required by any person upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the date upon which the Mergers become effective; (iii) the occurrence of a Company Change in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) made by the Issuer’s board of directors in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (iv) certain amendments to the Merger Agreement; or (v) the mutual agreement of Tidewater and 5 Essex to terminate the Voting Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is hereby incorporated by reference and filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act.
