Introductory Note

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SEACOR Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on December 7, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) on December 4, 2020, among Safari Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Safari Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 18, 2020, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (“Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Shares”), at a price of $41.50 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest, (the “Offer Price”) and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Merger Sub filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) with the SEC on December 18, 2020. On April 15, 2021, both the Offer and the Merger (as defined below) closed.

Item 1.02.

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 15, 2021, the Company terminated Mortgage and Security Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2016, by and among the C-Terms Partners (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Valley National Bank, following the repayment of all amounts outstanding thereunder.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 14, 2021. The Offer was not extended. The Offer was consummated and the Merger Sub accepted all of the Shares for payment. The Company has been advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, 14,472,289 Shares, representing approximately 70.4% of the Shares issued and outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer, had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The number of Shares tendered satisfied the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement). As the Minimum Condition and each of the other conditions of the Offer were satisfied, Merger Sub accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Merger Sub is required to make prompt payment of the Offer Price for such Shares.

On April 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding Share not owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company as of the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares (each as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of tax in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
