This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, dated June 30, 2015 (this “Amendment No. 1”), amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on June 9, 2015 (the “Original 13D”) by Monarch Debt Recovery Master Fund Ltd (“MDRF”), Monarch Alternative Capital LP (“MAC”), MDRA GP LP (“MDRA GP”) and Monarch GP LLC (“Monarch GP” and together with MAC, MDRF, and MDRA GP, the “Original Monarch Filers”). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed on behalf of the Original Monarch Filers.  This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Scorpio Bulkers Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”). MAC is the investment advisor to a variety of funds (any such funds, as applicable, collectively the “Funds”). The Original Monarch Filers are filing this Amendment No. 1 to report the change in their beneficial ownership of Common Stock solely due to an increase in the number of Common Stock outstanding.

Item 5.                Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a)            Each of MAC, MDRA GP and Monarch GP indirectly beneficially own 34,004,850 shares of Common Stock.  Such shares represent 10.14% of the 335,310,465 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 26, 2015.  MDRF directly beneficially owns 14,127,172 shares of Common Stock, which represent 4.21% of the 335,310,465 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 26, 2015.  The percentages used herein and in the rest of this Amendment No. 1 are calculated based upon a number of outstanding shares consisting of 335,310,465 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Company’s Form 6-K, dated as of June 26, 2015 (the "Form 6-K").  None of the other individual Funds own a number of shares of Common Stock representing more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b)            MAC, MDRA GP and Monarch GP share voting and dispositive power over 34,004,850 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds with each applicable Fund directly holding such shares, including the 14,127,172 shares of Common Stock held by MDRF.

(c)        Not applicable.

(d)            Not applicable.

(e)             Based on the Form 6-K, as of June 26, 2015, MDRF ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock.
