The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and as of June 30, 2014, is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below.  As of June 30, 2014, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Genco Management (USA) Limited.

 

Bankruptcy Filing

 

On April 21, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors seek to implement a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014.

 

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to each of the following agreements or instruments:

 

·         the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions named therein as lenders, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto, relating to approximately $1,055,912 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “2007 Credit Facility”);

 

·         the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Aquitane Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschaft, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as mandated lead arrangers, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as swap providers, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as agent for the lenders and the assignee, relating to approximately $175,718 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$253 Million Term Loan Facility”);

 

·         the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Ocean Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as agent and security trustee, relating to approximately $73,561 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”);

 

·         the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture relating to $125,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding of the Company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”) due August 15, 2015 (the “Indenture”);

 

·         the outstanding interest rate swap with DnB NOR Bank, relating to a liability position of $5,622 as of June 30, 2014.

 

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, all indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Indenture was accelerated and became due and payable, and indebtedness under the other agreements and instruments described above can be accelerated and become due and payable upon notice to the Company, subject to an automatic stay of any action to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Company or the other Debtors and the application of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the First Amended Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined below shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan.  On July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors completed their financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms.

 

Key components of the Plan included:

 

·         The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2007 Credit Facility into 81.1% of the New Genco Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, and the liens and mortgages thereunder were released.  Refer to Note 9 — Debt for further information.

 

·         The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2010 Notes into 8.4% of the New Genco Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.   Refer to Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes for further information.

 

·         A fully backstopped Rights Offering for approximately 8.7% of the New Genco Common Stock, in which holders of 2007 Credit Facility Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 80% of the New Genco Common Stock offered, and holders of the 2010 Notes Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 20% of the New Genco Common Stock being offered under the Rights Offering. Each Right entitled its holder to purchase one share of New Genco Common Stock at a subscription price of $18.62537, for an aggregate subscription price of $100,000.

 

·         The amendment and restatement of the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility as of the Effective Date, with extended maturities, a financial covenant holiday and certain other amendments, as discussed further in Note 9 - Debt.

 

·         The cancellation of the old common stock of Genco as of the Effective Date, with the holders thereof receiving warrants to acquire shares of New Genco Common Stock. Each New Genco Equity Warrant is exercisable for one share of New Genco Common Stock, and holders received an aggregate of 3,938,298 New Genco Equity Warrants for the old common stock of Genco. The New Genco Equity Warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for approximately 6% of New Genco Common Stock (subject to dilution).

 

·         Reinstatement, non-impairment or payment in full in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, including Allowed Claims of trade vendors, suppliers, customers and charterers, per the approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

·         The non-impairment of all other General Unsecured Claims under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

·         A Management Incentive Program, which provides for the distribution of New Genco MIP Primary Equity in the form of shares representing 1.8% of the New Genco Common Stock and three tiers of New Genco MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values to the participating officers, directors, and other management of Reorganized Genco. These awards were made on August 7, 2014.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, Reorganized Genco and the Registration Rights Parties entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided the Registration Rights Parties who receive 10% or more of New Genco Common Stock under the Plan with demand and piggyback registration rights. All other Registration Rights Parties have piggyback registration rights only.

 

New Genco Equity Warrant Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the New Genco Equity Warrants were issued pursuant to the terms of the New Genco Equity Warrant Agreement. Each New Genco Equity Warrant has a 7-year term (commencing on the day following the Effective Date) and are exercisable for one share of New Genco Common Stock. The New Genco Equity Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $20.99 per share. The New Genco Equity Warrant Agreement contains customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.

 

The New Genco Equity Warrants were distributed to holders of the old common stock of the Company, which was cancelled as of the Effective Date. Shares of old common stock of the Company issued to directors, officers and employees of Genco under compensatory plans that were unvested as of the Effective Date were deemed vested automatically on the Effective Date, so that all New Genco Equity Warrants received in exchange therefor were deemed vested.

 

Accounting Guidance

 

The Company was required to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, effective on April 21, 2014, which is applicable to companies in Chapter 11, which generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as Reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2014. The balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition Liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. The Company has evaluated creditors’ claims for other claims that may also have priority over unsecured creditors. Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts as a result of the plan or reorganization.  In addition, cash used by reorganization items in the consolidated statements of cash flows are disclosed in Note 4 — Cash Flow Information.

 

In connection with the emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company believes it qualifies for fresh-start accounting.   Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s  assets and liabilities will be recorded at their value as of the fresh-start reporting date.  The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of that date may differ materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company’s adoptions of fresh-start accounting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities.  Consequently, the Company’s historical financial statements may not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopts fresh-start accounting.  See Note 25 — Subsequent Events for a further discussion of fresh-start accounting.
