This Amendment No. 4 amends and
supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction
Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO on November 5, 2009 (as amended
and supplemented, this Schedule TO) by Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc.,
a Delaware Corporation (Parent), and OSG Bulk Ships, Inc., a New York
corporation (OSG Bulk and, together with Parent, OSG). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by OSG
Bulk to purchase common units (Units) of OSG America L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the Partnership), upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 5, 2009 (the Offer to
Purchase) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal
and, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be supplemented or
amended from time to time, the Offer).
All capitalized terms used but not defined in
this Schedule TO have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
The items of this Schedule TO set forth below
are hereby further amended and supplemented as follows:
Items 1
through 9, 11 and 13.
The
Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 4, 2009.
According to BNY Mellon Shareholder Services, the Depositary for the Offer, a
total of approximately 5,656,757 Units were validly tendered in the Offer,
including approximately 4,300 Units subject to guaranteed delivery. OSG Bulk has accepted for payment all Units
that were validly tendered in the Offer and has made payment to the Depositary
for the accepted Units in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The
number of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer satisfies the non-waivable
condition that more than 4,003,166 Units be validly tendered, such that OSG
owns more than 80% of the outstanding Units, and OSG will exercise its right
pursuant to Section 15.01 of the amended and restated limited partnership
agreement of the Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) to purchase all of
the remaining Units that were not tendered in the Offer and remain outstanding
on December 17, 2009 (the Repurchase Right). OSG will mail to each Unitholder of record
who did not tender its Units in the Offer a notice of its election to purchase
such Units pursuant to Section 15.01(b) of the Partnership Agreement,
and such holder will receive, for each Unit, the price paid by OSG Bulk for the
Units in the Offer.
On
December 7, 2009, OSG issued a press release to announce that OSG Bulk has
also commenced a subsequent offering period to purchase all Units that continue
to remain outstanding. The subsequent
offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m. on December 16, 2009. During the subsequent offering period, OSG
Bulk will immediately accept for payment and promptly pay for all validly
tendered Units as such Units are tendered.
Unitholders who validly tender during the subsequent offering period
will receive, for each Unit, the same price paid by OSG Bulk for the Units
during the initial offering period. OSG
does not intend to further extend the deadline for tendering units and will
consummate the Repurchase Right on December 17, 2009.
The
procedures for tendering Units during the subsequent offering period will be
the same as during the initial offering period, including that Unitholders may
use the same Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery that was
applicable during the initial offering period.
Pursuant to rule 14d-7(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange
Act, as amended, Units tendered during the subsequent offering period may not
be withdrawn.
Upon
expiration of the subsequent offering period and consummation of the Repurchase
Right, OSG will own all of the economic interests of the Partnership and will
be entitled to all of the benefits
2
resulting
from those interests. In addition, the
Units will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or publicly
traded.
