As previously reported by Reorganized EGC, on the Emergence Date, Reorganized EGC issued (i) 27,897,739 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pro rata, to holders of the claims arising from the Second Lien Notes, (ii) 3,985,391 shares of common stock, pro rata, to holders of the claims arising from the EGC Unsecured Notes, (iii) 1,328,464 shares of common stock, pro rata, to holders of the claims arising from the EPL 8.25% Senior Notes, (iv) 1,271,933 warrants, pro rata, to holders of the claims arising from the EGC Unsecured Notes; and (v) 847,956 warrants, pro rata, to holders of the claims arising from the EPL 8.25% Senior Notes. The Confirmation Order and Plan provide for the exemption of the offer and sale of the shares of Reorganized EGC’s common stock and the warrants (including shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under the Plan from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied.

On February 1, 2017, Reorganized EGC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K as its initial report to the Securities and Exchange Commission and as notice that it is the successor issuer of the Company under Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.

As a result of the Plan, there are no assets remaining in EXXI Ltd, and under Bermuda law, shareholders (including preferred shareholders) of EXXI Ltd will not receive any payment. On January 20, 2017, the Bermuda Court entered a winding up order formally placing EXXI Ltd in liquidation and confirming John C. McKenna as Provisional Liquidator. The liquidation will likely be completed during the first half of 2017, and EXXI Ltd will, at such conclusion, be dissolved and shareholders of EXXI Ltd will no longer have any interest in EXXI Ltd as a matter of Bermuda law. There can be no assurance that the liquidation proceeding will be completed in a timely manner or at all.

Pursuant to the Plan, as of the Emergence Date, the following directors resigned from EXXI Ltd’s board of directors: William Colvin, Cornelius Dupré II, Hill A. Feinberg, Kevin Flannery, Scott A. Griffiths and James LaChance. On January 3, 2017, John D. Schiller, Jr. also resigned as the remaining sole director of EXXI Ltd. Following the resignation of all of the directors of EXXI Ltd and in accordance with Bermuda law, the Provisional Liquidator assumed full control of EXXI Ltd’s affairs and will continue to do so until the liquidation of EXXI Ltd is complete.
