Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by BW Group Limited (“BWG”) on December 16, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Navigator Holdings Ltd., a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at c/o NGT Services (UK) Ltd, 10 Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DH, United Kingdom. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise stated in this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Amendment amends the Original Schedule 13D by replacing Schedule A thereto with Schedule A hereto.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
This Amendment amends the Original Schedule 13D by adding the following immediately after the fourth paragraph under the heading “Investor Rights Agreement” in Item 4:
“Effective August 4, 2021, the Issuer completed its previously announced transaction (the “Transaction”) with Naviera Ultranav Limitada (“Ultranav”) to merge Ultragas ApS’ (“Ultragas”) fleet and business activities with the Issuer pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2021 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), among the Issuer, Ultranav International S.A. (“Seller A”), Ultranav Denmark ApS (“Seller B” and, together with Seller A, the “Sellers”) and Ultranav, as guarantor. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Issuer purchased the entire issued share capital of Othello Shipping Company S.A. and Ultragas ApS (collectively, the “Targets”) from the Sellers, in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of approximately 21.2 million shares of common stock of the Issuer (the “Consideration Shares”) to the Sellers and assumption of net debt of approximately $180 million, as well as net working capital, related to the Targets and their subsidiaries.
In connection with the Transaction, the Issuer has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with the Sellers (the “Ultranav Investor Rights Agreement”), which provides the Sellers with the right to designate a total of two members of the board of directors of the Issuer (provided that the Sellers maintain certain shareholding thresholds) and with limited registration and informational rights. BWG and the Issuer have amended and restated the Investor Rights Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Amended Investor Rights Agreement”) to conform the terms of such agreement with the Ultranav Investor Rights Agreement.
Reference to and the description of the Amended Investor Rights Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit B hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.”
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
This Amendment amends and restates sections (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:
| (a) |
As of August 18, 2021, BWG may be deemed to beneficially own 21,874,716 Common Shares, which includes 5,859 shares of restricted stock which were granted by the Issuer to BWG on March 16, 2021, representing approximately 28.4% of the outstanding Common Shares.
The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based on a total of 77,096,289 Common Shares outstanding based on disclosures in the Schedule 13D filed by Ultranav with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2021. |
