Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01Other Events
On December 26, 2019, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (“OSG”) issued a press release announcing that certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Purchasers”) entered into agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with BP AMI Leasing Inc. and BP Oil Shipping Company USA (collectively, “BP”) to purchase U.S.-flagged crude oil carrier vessels (the “Purchased Vessels”) currently operated by Alaska Tanker Company, LLC (“ATC”). A copy of OSG’s press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The Purchasers entered into the Purchase Agreements to acquire the Purchased Vessels from BP on December 23, 2019. The Purchase Agreements required the Purchasers to pay a deposit equal to 20% of the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Vessels to BP upon the execution of the Purchase Agreements, with the balance of the consideration for the Purchased Vessels to be paid at closing. The vessel purchases are subject to several closing conditions, including the receipt of approval from U.S. Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration under the U.S. Department of Transportation, as well as receipt of Alaska regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Concurrently with the closing of the vessel purchases, the Purchasers will enter into bareboat charters for each of the Purchased Vessels with ATC and ATC will concurrently enter into back-to-back time charters for each of the Purchased Vessels with BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (“BP Alaska”) as charterer. As part of its acquisition of the Purchased Vessels, OSG will also acquire the remaining 62.5% interest in ATC that it does not currently own.
