Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger.
On December 22, 2021, SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among SEACOR Offshore OSV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), SEACOR OSV PARTNERS I LP., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Partnership will merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the merger (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, the Company will issue the Partnership’s limited partners (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to approximately 531,915 shares of Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger will be effective upon the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and is expected to close prior to January 31, 2022.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the resale of the Merger Consideration and the PIK Loan Consideration (as defined below).
In connection with the Merger, the Company and Merger Sub will assume and guarantee (such assumption and guarantee, the “Assumption and Guarantee”) all $18,050,000 of the Partnership’s third-party indebtedness outstanding under the amended and restated senior secured term loan credit facility agreement dated as of September 28, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified, the “OSV Credit Facility”), by and among the Partnership and lenders and other parties thereto.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Partnership entered into an amendment dated as of December 22, 2021 (the “Amendment”), to the Subordinated PIK Loan Agreement, dated September 28, 2018 (the “PIK Loan Agreement”), with certain subsidiaries of the Company and certain lenders under the PIK Loan Agreement pursuant to which (i) the maturity date of the loans outstanding under the PIK Loan Agreement was extended to immediately prior to the Merger and (ii) the Partnership was given the right to settle all amounts and other obligations outstanding under the PIK Loan Agreement by causing the Company to issue the lenders thereunder 1,036,079 shares of Common Stock (the “PIK Loan Consideration”).
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 such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
