Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

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. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

 

As previously reported, on May 2, 2014 the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court an amended plan of reorganization, together with a disclosure statement describing such plan of reorganization (the “Equity Plan”). On May 21, 2014, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court an amendment to the Equity Plan. On May 26, 2014 and June 4, 2014, respectively, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court further amendments to the Equity Plan (the Equity Plan, as amended, the “Amended Equity Plan”).

 

The Amended Equity Plan provides that the chief restructuring officer of the Debtors will nominate and the existing directors of OSG will approve the individuals who shall serve as directors of the Company upon its emergence from bankruptcy, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. On June 15, 2014, the chief restructuring officer of the Debtors nominated and the existing directors of OSG approved the following slate of persons to serve as the board of directors of the Company following its emergence from bankruptcy: John J. Ray, III, Timothy Bernlohr, Alexander D. Greene, Stephen M. Johnson, Samuel H. Norton, Nikolaus D. Semaca, Ronald Steger, Douglas D. Wheat and Gregory A. Wright. The appointment of these individuals to serve as directors of the Company upon its emergence from bankruptcy is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

 

The Amended Equity Plan and the plan supplement to the Amended Equity Plan setting forth the names and affiliations of the persons to serve as the board of directors of the Company following its emergence from bankruptcy are 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 website 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.
