Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 20, 2016, Gener8 Maritime, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Korean Export Credit Facility to modify the change of control provision in this credit facility to conform to its Sinosure Credit Facility.  Pursuant to this amendment, a change of control will occur if, at any time, none of (i) Peter Georgiopoulos, (ii) Gary Brocklesby or (iii) Nicolas Busch serves as a member of the Company’s board of directors.  For example, since Mr. Brocklesby is not currently a member of the board of directors, a change of control would occur should Mr. Georgiopoulos and Mr. Busch both resign or be removed from the board, decline to stand for reelection or fail to be reelected to the board, die or otherwise cease to remain as the Company’s directors for any reason. In the event of a change of control under the Korean Export Credit Facility, the majority of lenders may elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the loans to be immediately due and payable and, in the event of non-payment, proceed against the collateral securing such loans. The lenders under this credit facility may make this election at any time following the occurrence of a change of control.  Prior to this amendment, the change of control provision provided that a change of control would occur if Mr. Georgioupoulos was no longer a director of the Company.  Along with this amendment, certain other technical amendments were also made to the Korean Export Credit Facility.
