Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
|
(a) and (b)
The information contained on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
Ownership percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon a total of 83,597,969 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of July 11, 2014, upon the closing of the Merger, as reported in the Issuer’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2014.
Millennia Holdings directly holds 5,051,148 Common Shares and has the right to acquire an additional 211,571 Common Shares, which are currently held in escrow and will be released upon the distribution of the Heron Vessels, which could occur within 60 days, representing approximately 6.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Shares.
Oceanbulk Maritime, in its capacity as the manager of Millennia Holdings, has the ability to direct the management of Millennia Holdings’ business, including the power to vote and dispose of securities held by Millennia Holdings; therefore, Oceanbulk Maritime may be deemed to beneficially own Millennia Holdings’ Subject Shares.
Mirabel directly holds 3,592,728 Common Shares, representing approximately, 4.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Shares.
Ms. Milena Maria Pappas directly holds 1,050,335 Common Shares and, as the ultimate controlling shareholder of Millennia Holdings, may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 5,051,148 Common Shares directly owned by Millennia Holdings, and an additional 211,571 Common Shares, which are currently held in escrow and could be released to Millennia Holdings within 60 days. Ms. Pappa's aggregate beneficial ownership represents approximately 7.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and she has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Shares.
Pursuant to a shareholders agreement between the Issuer, Oaktree Dry Bulk Holdings LLC (“
Dry Bulk Holdings
”) and certain of Dry Bulk Holdings’ affiliates, dated as of July 11, 2014 (the “
Oaktree Shareholders Agreement
”), Dry Bulk Holdings and its affiliates will be required to vote their voting securities in the Issuer in excess of a 33% “voting cap” (subject to adjustment as provided therein) proportionately with the votes cast by the other shareholders of the Issuer, with certain exceptions (the “
Pass-Through Voting Matters
”). As a result, Millennia Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own up to an additional 4.6% of the Issuer’s Common Shares, Mirabel may be deemed to beneficially own up to an additional 3.1% of the Issuer’s Common Shares and Ms. Milena Maria Pappas may be deemed to beneficially own up to an additional 5.5% of the Issuer’s Common Shares, in each case with respect to the Pass-Through Voting Matters. This additional beneficial ownership represents the proportional interest of each Reporting Person, as a holder of Common Shares that is not affiliated with Dry Bulk Holdings or party to the Oaktree Shareholders Agreement, of the Common Shares held by Dry Bulk Holdings and its affiliates
above the voting cap set forth in the Oaktree Shareholders Agreement. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of these additional Common Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
(c)
Except for the transaction described herein, there have been no other transactions in the securities of the Issuer effected by any Reporting Person within the last 60 days.
(d) and (e)
Not applicable.

Item 6.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
|
On June 16, 2014, the Issuer entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “
Merger Agreement
”) with Star Synergy LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“
Oaktree Holdco Merger Sub
”), Star Omas LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“
Pappas Holdco Merger Sub
” and together with Oaktree Holdco Merger Sub, the “
Merger Subs
”), Oaktree OBC Holdings LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company controlled by investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “
Oaktree Holdco
”), the Pappas Holdco (together with the Oaktree Holdco, the “
Oceanbulk Holdcos
”), Oaktree Dry Bulk Holdings LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company (“the “
Oaktree Seller
”) and Millennia Holdings (together with Dry Bulk Holdings, the “
Sellers
”), pursuant to which, on July 11, 2014, each of the Oceanbulk Holdcos merged with and into one of the Merger Subs (the “
Merger
”), with the Merger Subs continuing as the surviving companies and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuer. The Oceanbulk Holdcos collectively own all of the outstanding equity interests in Oceanbulk, which, through their subsidiaries, own and operate a fleet of 12 dry bulk carrier vessels, with an average age as of May 31, 2014 of 5.3 years and an aggregate capacity of approximately 1.4 million dwt, including five Capesize vessels, two Post-Panamax vessels, three Kamsarmax vessels and two Supramax vessels or own contracts for the construction of 25 newbuilding dry bulk vessels with fuel efficiency specifications at shipyards in Japan and China. Prior to the closing of the Merger, investment funds affiliated with Dry Bulk Holdings beneficially owned approximately 19.6% of the outstanding Common Shares and, indirectly through Oaktree Holdco, also beneficially owned 90% of the equity interests in Oceanbulk. As part of the Merger, the Issuer agreed to acquire two Kamsarmax vessels (the “
Heron Vessels
”) from Heron Ventures Ltd. (the “
Heron JV
”), a joint venture in which Oceanbulk owns indebtedness that is convertible into 50% of the equity of the Heron JV, for an aggregate of 2,115,206 Common Shares of the Issuer (the “
Heron Consideration
”).
In addition, the Issuer also entered into the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “
Pappas Agreement
”) with the Pappas Entities, entities controlled by certain members of the family of the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Petros Pappas, including Milena Maria Pappas, pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Pappas Agreement, substantially concurrently with the completion of the Merger, acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dioriga and Positive Shipping, which own and operate a dry bulk carrier vessel and a contract for the construction of a newbuilding drybulk carrier with fuel efficient specifications, respectively (such vessels being the “
Pappas Vessels
”, and the acquisition of the Pappas Vessels being the “
Pappas Companies Acquisition
”).
Pursuant to resolutions of a Special Committee of the Board consisting of two disinterested directors who are not officers, employees, representatives, agents or affiliates of the Sellers, the Oceanbulk Holdcos or the Pappas Entities, and who do not have an economic interest in the Sellers, the Oceanbulk Holdcos or the Pappas Entities (the “
Special Committee
”), the Special Committee unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement, the Pappas Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “
Transactions
” and collectively with the Merger Agreement and the Pappas Agreement, the “
Merger Agreement Proposal
”) as well as the Merger
|
|
SCHEDULE 13D
|
Page 10 of 13
|
Consideration, the Pappas Consideration and the Heron Consideration are fair to and in the best interests of the Issuer and the stockholders of the Issuer, other than the Sellers and their respective affiliates (the “
Unaffiliated Stockholders
”). The Special Committee also unanimously declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Pappas Agreement and the Transaction, including the Merger, and unanimously recommended to the Board that the Merger Agreement Proposal be approved by the Board and submitted for a vote at a meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders. The Special Committee made its determination after consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors and consideration of a number of factors, including a fairness opinion presented to the Special Committee by its independent financial advisors. Following the recommendation of the Special Committee, all of the members of the Board, other than Mr. Petros Pappas and Ms. Milena Maria Pappas, who recused themselves from the Board’s vote based on the reasons set forth below, pursuant to resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Board held on June 15, 2014, (i) determined that the Merger Agreement Proposal as well as the Merger Consideration, the Pappas Consideration and the Heron Consideration are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders, (ii) approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Pappas Agreement and the Transactions as well as the Merger Consideration, the Pappas Consideration and the Heron Consideration, (iii) resolved to recommend that the Merger Agreement Proposal be submitted at a meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders for approval and (iv) adopted the recommendation by the Special Committee that the Issuer’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. Mr. Petros Pappas and Ms. Milena Maria Pappas recused themselves from the Board’s vote authorizing the Transactions due to their relationships with the Sellers, Dioriga, Positive Shipping and the Pappas Entities.
The Issuer’s stockholders approved the Merger Agreement Proposal at a special meeting of the Issuer that was held on July 11, 2014, and the Merger closed on July 11, 2014. Upon the closing of the Merger, all of the membership interests of the Oceanbulk Holdcos that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 48,395,766 Common Shares (the “
Merger Consideration
”), together with the Heron Consideration and certain distributions from the Heron JV. The closing of the Pappas Companies Acquisition occurred substantially concurrently with the completion of the Merger, at which time Mirabel received 3,592,728 Common Shares (the “
Pappas Consideration
”), which represents 4.3% of the outstanding Common Shares and, together with the 50,511,472 Common Shares issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the Heron Consideration, represents 64.7% of the outstanding Common Shares immediately after the closing thereof.
By virtue of the Merger and the Pappas Companies Acquisition, the Issuer has agreed to assume, including by way of refinance, all of the outstanding indebtedness of Oceanbulk, Dioriga and Positive Shipping. The Issuer has also agreed to refinance the indebtedness of the Heron JV applicable to the Heron Vessels as of the date the Issuer acquires such Heron Vessels. If the Merger, including the acquisition of the Heron Vessels and the Pappas Vessels, had closed on March 31, 2014, the Issuer would have had total outstanding indebtedness of $383.99 million and the book value of the Issuer’s assets would have been $1,364.97 million.
Pursuant to a Shareholders Agreement (the “
Shareholders Agreement
”), dated July 11, 2014, by and among the Issuer, on the one hand, and Millennia Holdings, Petros Pappas, Milena Maria Pappas and Alexander Pappas (collectively, and together with the entities affiliated with Petros Pappas, Milena Maria Pappas and Alexander Pappas, the “
Pappas Shareholders
”), the
|
|
SCHEDULE 13D
|
Page 11 of 13
|
Pappas Shareholders agreed to, among other things, voting restrictions and ownership limitations. In particular:
|
|
·
|
The Pappas Shareholders will be required to vote their voting securities in excess of a 14.9% “voting cap” (subject to adjustment as provided in the Shareholders Agreement) proportionately with the votes cast by the other shareholders.
|
|
|
·
|
The Pappas Shareholders are subject to standstill restrictions, which include acting alone or in concert with third parties to seek to control or influence the management, board or policies of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (other than with respect to the nomination of any nominees proposed by the Issuer’s nominating and corporate governance committee).
|
|
|
·
|
Any future investments or business arrangements between the Pappas Shareholders and the Oaktree Seller and its affiliates (the “
Oaktree Shareholders
”) shall not cause (i) any Pappas Shareholder to be deemed an affiliate of, or constitute a group or beneficially own any equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by, the Oaktree Shareholders or (ii) the equity securities of the Issuer held by the Oaktree Shareholders to be deemed to be subject to the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement.
|
|
|
·
|
Any transactions between the Pappas Shareholders and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Issuer or its subsidiaries, on the other hand, will require the approval of the disinterested directors of the Issuer, with certain limited exceptions.
|
|
|
·
|
Until the earliest of (x) the date of the termination of the Shareholders Agreement, (y) the 36-month anniversary of the date of the Shareholders Agreement and (z) the date that Petros Pappas ceases to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, if a Pappas Shareholder (or any affiliate thereof) acquires knowledge of a potential dry-bulk transaction or dry-bulk matter which may, in such Pappas Shareholder’s good faith judgment, be a business opportunity for both such Pappas Shareholder and the Issuer (subject to certain exceptions), such Pappas Shareholder (and its Affiliate) shall have the duty to promptly communicate or offer such opportunity to the Issuer. If the Issuer does not notify the applicable Pappas Shareholder within five business days following receipt of such communication or offer that it is interested in pursuing or acquiring such opportunity for itself, then such Pappas Shareholder (or its Affiliate) shall be entitled to pursue or acquire such opportunity for itself.
|
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on July 11, 2014, the Pappas Shareholders, the Oaktree Shareholders and the Monarch Stockholders entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights agreement with the Issuer (the “
Registration Rights Agreement
”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has, among other things, committed to prepare and file a resale registration statement within 30 days of the closing date of the Merger, which shall cover the resale of shares owned by the Oaktree Shareholders, the Pappas Shareholders and the Monarch Stockholders. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Oaktree Shareholders with certain demand registration rights and the Oaktree Shareholders, Pappas Shareholders and the Monarch Stockholders with certain shelf registration rights in respect of any common shares held by them, subject to certain conditions, including those shares acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In addition, in the event that the Issuer registers additional common shares for sale to the public following the closing of the Transactions, the Issuer will be required to give notice to the Oaktree Shareholders, Pappas Shareholders and
|
|
SCHEDULE 13D
|
Page 12 of 13
|
Monarch Stockholders of its intention to effect such registration and, subject to certain limitations, the Issuer will be required to include common shares held by those holders in such registration. The Issuer will be required to bear the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of any holder’s securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement will include customary indemnification provisions in favor of the Oaktree Shareholders, the Pappas Shareholders and the Monarch Stockholders, any person who is or might be deemed a control person (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) and related parties against certain losses and liabilities (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) arising out of or relating to any filing or other disclosure made by us under the securities laws relating to any such registration.
The foregoing summaries of (i) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) Pappas Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) the Shareholders Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (iv) the Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, the Pappas Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement filed herewith as Exhibits 2, 3, and 5, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
