This Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (“Amendment 18”) amends the Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed on July 16, 2013 (“Amendment 17”), and all previous Statements of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed in connection with the parties and matters referenced herein, with respect to the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”). Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment 18 shall have the meanings set forth in Amendment 17, previous amendments and/or the original Schedule 13D to which this Amendment 18 relates. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items remain unchanged.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background |
| (a) | This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by Sellers Capital LLC (“SC”), Sellers Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“SCMF”) and Mark A. Sellers. |
| (b) | The principal business office of SC and Mark A. Sellers is 707 Skokie Boulevard, Northbrook, IL 60062. The principal business office of SCMF is c/o M&C Corporate Services, Ugland House, South Church Street, PO Box 309 GT, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
On February 14, 2014, SCMF distributed 1,184,950 shares of Common Stock to certain persons redeeming interests in SCMF’s feeder funds, at a price per share value of $1.16. On November 12, 2013, SCMF distributed 241,343 shares of Common Stock to certain persons redeeming interests in SCMF’s feeder funds, at a price per share value of $1.53.
Reporting Person Mark A. Sellers, who is also Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), seeks to reduce the size of Issuer’s Board from seven (7) to five (5) Directors. Mr. Sellers has asked two members of the Board for their resignation and is currently in discussions with these Directors to achieve this objective. Mr. Sellers, on behalf of Sellers Capital Master Fund, believes that reducing the size of the Board is consistent with the desire of a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders and that a smaller Board would be more effective and efficient in overseeing the Company’s operations and strategic initiatives. Should these Directors refuse to resign, Mr. Sellers, on behalf of Sellers Capital Master Fund, Ltd., would, at that time, determine what additional steps might be taken to effectively remove these Directors.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) SCMF is the direct beneficial owner and SC and Mark A. Sellers are the indirect beneficial owners of 15,430,179 shares of Common Stock. This represents approximately 31.5% percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 49,041,031 shares of Common Stock outstanding, per Form 10-Q dated January 14, 2014.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons has shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 15,430,179 shares of Common Stock.
(c) Other than the matters referred to herein, there have been no other transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past sixty days.
(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) Not applicable.
