Schedule 13D

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer on July 22, 2015, Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on November 12, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on February 18, 2016 (as so amended, the “Schedule13D”). Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer has disclosed that weak drybulk industry conditions and low charter rates have negatively impacted its results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity, and may continue to do so in the future, potentially resulting in defaults and acceleration of the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness.  In the last two days, the Reporting Persons discussed financing options with the Issuer, its existing or potential lenders, or its other sources of potential financing, including but not limited to acquisitions of additional securities of the Issuer by one or more of the Reporting Persons.  The Issuer’s actual results and financial condition may change in the future, and any proposals by the Reporting Persons may not be able to address the Issuer’s financing needs.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Items 5 (a) — (b) are hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:

 

(a) — (b) The information requested by this paragraph is incorporated herein by reference to the information provided on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D.
