Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 2, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had entered into an agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. ("HHI"), through a subsidiary of SEACOR Ocean Transport Inc., for the construction of two Liquefied Petroleum Gas tankers (Very Large Gas Carriers, otherwise known as VLGCs), with expected deliveries in 2014, with an option to purchase up to three additional VLGCs with delivery in 2015. The Company also announced that it anticipated that these new vessels would be managed by Dorian (Hellas) S.A. ("Dorian") in a pool together with three VLGCs owned by affiliates of Dorian, and that Dorian also had an option to acquire or co-invest in up to 50% of the vessels under contract and option with HHI.
On July 25, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into new agreements and arrangements with Dorian and its affiliates that supersede the agreement and related arrangements previously announced. The Company agreed to (i) subscribe for shares of common stock of Dorian LPG, Ltd., a Marshall Islands corporation and affiliate of Dorian ("Dorian LPG"), for a net cash investment of approximately $42.1 million, (ii) contribute to Dorian LPG ownership of a subsidiary that is party to a contract for the construction of one VLGC with HHI, (iii) sell to Dorian ownership of a subsidiary that is party to a contract for the construction of one VLGC with HHI and (iv) assign to Dorian LPG its rights with respect to the vessels under option with HHI. Dorian has agreed to (i) contribute to Dorian LPG three VLGCs and certain other vessels currently owned by Dorian affiliates, (ii) transfer to Dorian LPG the ownership interest in the Company subsidiary acquired from the Company referred to above, (iii) assign to Dorian LPG its rights with respect to the vessels under option with HHI and (iv) transfer its vessel management activities to Dorian LPG. Contemporaneously, investors who are not affiliates of the Company or Dorian subscribed to purchase shares of common stock of Dorian LPG for an aggregate cash investment of approximately $110.0 million.
The transactions described above were consummated on July 30, 2013. Following such consummation, each of the Company and Dorian (i) owns approximately 25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Dorian LPG and (ii) has three of its designees serving on the six-member board of directors of Dorian LPG.
