Explanatory Note
The Reporting Person, a Bermuda exempt company limited by shares, is hereby filing this Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 8”) to amend and supplement Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 7”) filed by the Reporting Person with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 26, 2022 to report the completion of the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in Amendment No. 7.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of Amendment No. 7 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The total consideration paid for the Common Units in connection with the Merger was approximately $[167.6] million. The consideration paid by the Reporting Person was funded through capital contribution from Larus.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of Amendment No. 7 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 23, 2022, the Issuer completed the Merger, upon which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, with the Issuer as the surviving company in the Merger. The Merger became effective at [9:00 a.m.] Bermuda time ([8:00 a.m.] Eastern Time) on September 23, 2022 (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the certificate of merger that was issued by the Marshall Islands on such date.
At the Effective Time, each Common Unit that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those Common Units held by Parent, including as described in Item 5 below with respect to certain Covered Individuals) was converted into the right to receive $9.25 in cash, to be paid without interest and reduced by any applicable tax withholding.
As a result of the Merger, the Common Units will no longer be listed on any quotation system or exchange, including the New York Stock Exchange.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) - (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person (on the basis of a total of 33,373,002 Common Units issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022) are as follows:
Reporting Person | Amount beneficially owned | Percent of class | Sole power to vote or to direct the vote | Shared power to vote or direct the vote | Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition | Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition | ||||||||||||||||||
Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. | 33,373,002 | 100.0 | % | 33,373,002 | 0 | 33,373,002 | 0 |
(1) Each of Larus, LHC and Floating Infrastructure LP disclaims beneficial ownership of the 33,373,002 Common Units held by the Reporting Person except to the extent of its respective pecuniary interest therein.
Prior to the closing of the Merger, 441,037 Common Units were directly or indirectly beneficially owned by Leif Höegh & Co. Ltd., Morten W. Høegh and Leif O. Høegh and were not purchased by the Reporting Person in the Merger. Such Covered Individuals contributed their Common Units in-kind to the Reporting Person prior to the Effective Time. Therefore, as of the Effective Time, Reporting Person held 100% beneficial ownership of the Common Units.
(c) Except as described herein, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Person’s knowledge, the Covered Individuals, has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.
(d) The Reporting Person has the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Units reported on the cover page of this Amendment and in this Item 5. Except for the foregoing and as set forth in Item 6 of Amendment No. 7, no other person is known by the Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.
(e) Not applicable.
