Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment No. 5") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 11, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on April 24, 2025 and Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on May 30, 2025 (the "Schedule 13D") by (i) CMB.TECH Bermuda Ltd. ("CMBT Subsidiary"), (ii) CMB.TECH NV ("CMBT"), (iii) Compagnie Maritime Belge NV ("CMB"), (iv) Saverco NV ("Saverco"), (v) Alexander Saverys, (vi) Ludovic Saverys, and (vii) Michael Saverys (the foregoing corporations and individuals are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the common shares, par value $0.05 per share (the "Shares") of Golden Ocean Group Limited (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 5 is being filed solely to disclose the closing of the merger between CMBT, CMBT Subsidiary and the Issuer. This Amendment No. 5 constitutes an exit filing of the Reporting Persons.
Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information thereto:
On August 20, 2025, CMBT, CMBT Subsidiary and the Issuer consummated the Merger, whereby the Issuer merged with and into CMBT Subsidiary, with CMBT Subsidiary as the surviving company. As consideration, each issued and outstanding Share of the Issuer (other than those Shares owned by CMBT, CMBT Subsidiary, the Issuer or their respective subsidiaries) was exchanged for 0.95 ordinary shares, no par value, of CMBT. CMBT issued an aggregate of 95,952,934 ordinary shares to former Issuer shareholders other than CMBT. As a result of the Merger, all Shares of the Issuer were cancelled and delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market and Oslo Stock Exchange effective as of August 20, 2025. | ||
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | Item 5(a)-(e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:
As of the date of this filing the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owners of 0 Shares, representing 0% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Shares. | |
| (b) | As of the date of this filing the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the shared power to vote and dispose of 0 Shares. | |
| (c) | To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, there were no transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days and not previously reported. | |
| (d) | No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. | |
| (e) | As of August 20, 2025, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares. The filing of this Amendment No. 5 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons. | |
| SIGNATURE | |
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
