Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 23, 2017, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (“OSG” or the “Company”) announced that it has reached a resolution with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to a previously disclosed investigation into the failure of OSG to record certain federal income tax liabilities in its financial statements prior to the second quarter of 2012. The Company has agreed to pay a $5 million civil penalty to the SEC. Amounts payable to the SEC are subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Under the terms of the resolution with the SEC, OSG neither admits nor denies the SEC’s allegations that the Company violated certain provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related rules. The SEC has acknowledged OSG’s cooperation with the SEC staff throughout the course of its investigation, as well as OSG’s implementation of remedial measures and improvements to internal accounting controls over its tax reporting functions and changes to the senior management of OSG.
The SEC’s administrative order resolving its investigation can be accessed at the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
The Company issued a press release regarding the resolution, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
