Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to incorporate by reference the information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 20.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:
On December 14, 2023, the Issuer, N Logistics Holdings Corporation (“NLHC”), a company affiliated with Ms. Frangou and Navigation Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NLHC (“Merger Sub”), completed the transactions contemplated by the previously reported Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, NLHC, Merger Sub and, for limited purposes, N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and as a subsidiary of NLHC (the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock held by (i) the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) NLHC or Merger Sub) was converted into the right to receive $2.28 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). The total consideration paid for the shares of Common Stock in the Merger was approximately $52.0 million, which came from cash on hand held by NLHC and its affiliates. In addition, at the Effective Time, the shares of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were, in the aggregate, converted into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the Merger.
As a result of the Merger, the shares of Common Stock will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of the delisting of the Common Stock on the NYSE and the deregistration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, the Issuer intends to deregister the shares of Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act by filing a Form 15 with the SEC in approximately ten days following the filing of the Form 25.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.6 to Amendment No. 19 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
(a) As a result of the Merger, Ms. Frangou beneficially owns and has the sole voting power and/or dispositive power over an aggregate of 54,233,495 shares of Common Stock, such shares representing approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer based on 22,826,450 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 14, 2023, based on information provided by the Issuer, plus the 31,407,045 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate underlying the Convertible Debenture described herein which shares of Common Stock are (although not yet issued) deemed outstanding and included pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act.
