ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
On January 26, 2015, the Registrant (the “Company”) released a press release announcing the entry into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”), by and between the Company and Rong Yao International Shipping Limited (the “Vessel Seller”), a Hong Kong corporation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire a small oil/chemical tanker (the “Vessel”) from the Vessel Seller. The closing of the proposed Vessel acquisition will be subject to a number of closing conditions including, but not limited to, the parties negotiating and entering into definitive purchase agreements, the Company obtaining, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company, the financing necessary to pay all or the required cash portion of the purchase price for the Vessel (which may include proceeds received from the Company from the sale of its securities and/or loans from third parties), approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, satisfactory completion by the Company of its due diligence related to the Vessel and obtaining all necessary consents, approvals and permits for the Company to acquire and operate the Vessel. The MOU is not considered a material definitive agreement but management believes the news is likely to be of interest to shareholders.
