Item 8.01 - Other Events
On March 2, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing that on February 27, 2015 it completed the sale of three vessels to the U.S. Navy. The Company separately entered into an operations and maintenance ("O&M") contract for the three vessels sold, which contains an initial term and annual renewal options spanning a 10-year operating period including annual dayrate escalations. The Company also granted an option to purchase a fourth vessel to U.S. Navy on the same terms and conditions as the first three vessels. The U.S. Navy is expected to exercise its option and buy the fourth vessel no later than September 30, 2015, from which time such vessel will also be covered by the O&M contract. Until then the fourth vessel will continue to operate on a time charter. The Company updated fiscal 2015 guidance to reflect the vessel sales, the time charter and the O&M arrangement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
