Section 7 – Regulation FD

 

Item 7.01      Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

 

As previously reported, on November 14, 2012, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (“OSG” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with OSG, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

 

As previously reported, on February 12, 2014, the Debtors entered into a plan support agreement, which was subsequently amended on February 27, 2014 (as amended, the “Plan Support Agreement”) among the Debtors and certain of the lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) holding an aggregate of approximately 72% of amounts outstanding under the Company’s $1.5 billion credit agreement, dated as of February 9, 2006 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Plan Support Agreement requires such Consenting Lenders to support and vote in favor of a proposed plan of reorganization of the Debtors (the “Plan”) consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet attached as an exhibit to and incorporated into the Plan Support Agreement.

 

On March 7, 2014, the Debtors filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court, together with a disclosure statement describing such Plan, and a motion to approve that disclosure statement and related solicitation procedures (the “Motion”). The disclosure statement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing scheduled for April 11, 2014. Upon such approval, the Debtors will solicit acceptances of the Plan and seek its confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

The Motion is available electronically, on the internet website of the claims agent Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC, at http://www.kccllc.net/osg. Information set forth on the foregoing web site or filed with the Bankruptcy Court shall not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

OSG is furnishing this Form 8-K pursuant to Item 7.01, “Regulation FD Disclosure.” The information contained in this current report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
