This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited., a Bahamas corporation, and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on July 22, 2010 (the “Original 13D”, and, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The disclosure in Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by deleting the second, third, and fourth paragraphs thereof and inserting the following.

On November 13, 2012, the Issuer, Sparrow Capital Investments Ltd. (“Sparrow”), and certain other parties thereto entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which Sparrow agreed to purchase 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer on the third business day after certain conditions to closing have been satisfied, but no earlier than December 12, 2012 (the consummation of that transaction, the “Closing”) and the date of such Closing, the “Closing Date”). In connection with this transaction, on November 13, 2012:

 

   

Los Avellanos, Hazels, and Sparrow entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, regarding, among other things, the voting of the Common Stock held by the parties, the election of directors to the board of the Issuer and the rights of the parties to dispose of shares of Common Stock, in each case, after the Closing Date;

 

   

Los Avellanos, Hazels, Sparrow, Sparrow CI Sub Ltd. (“Sparrow 2”) and certain other parties entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit E, regarding, among other things, the conditions and procedures for “earn out” payments to Hazels, and the rights of the parties to transfer or dispose of shares of Sparrow 2;

 

   

Pursuant to the Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement, Sparrow 2 agreed to issue to Hazels on the Closing Date a warrant (the “Warrant”) granting Hazels the right to acquire all of the economic interests in Sparrow 2, which will hold 16,060,000 of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Sparrow pursuant to the Investment Agreement; and

 

   

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, Los Avellanos, Hazels, Sparrow, Sparrow 2, and the Issuer agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) on the Closing Date regarding, among other things, the rights of certain shareholders to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing.

During an initial period following the Closing (the “Initial Period”) the Reporting Persons will initially have the right under the Shareholders’ Agreement to appoint four representatives on the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Should this Initial Period expire or terminate in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Reporting Persons will have the right under the Shareholders’ Agreement to appoint two representatives on the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

The disclosure in Item 5 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by deleting the contents of such item in its entirety and replacing it with the following.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

As discussed in Item 4 above, in connection with the Issuer entering into an Investment Agreement with Sparrow, Hazels and Los Avellanos have entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement and have agreed to enter into the Registration Rights Agreement on the Closing Date, and Sparrow 2 has agreed to issue the Warrant to Hazels on the Closing Date. In addition, the existing voting agreement between Los Avellanos and Hazels will be canceled on the Closing Date. The descriptions of the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement contained in this Item 6 are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein. In addition, the descriptions of the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement are not intended to be complete and only represent current expectations regarding the agreements to be executed.

 

10


Shareholders’ Agreement

The Shareholders’ Agreement sets forth the agreements of the parties thereto regarding, among other things, the governance of Ultrapetrol and the transfer of their shares of Common Stock, including the following provisions, each of which become effective only after the Closing. If the Investment Agreement terminates prior to the Closing, the Shareholders’ Agreement will not take effect and will be deemed void ab initio.

 

   

During an “Initial Period” after the Closing, Los Avellanos and Hazels will together have the right to appoint four directors to the Issuer’s board, and Sparrow will have the right to appoint two directors to the Issuer’s board.

 

   

Should the Initial Period terminate, Los Avellanos and Hazels will together have the right to appoint two directors to the Issuer’s board, and Sparrow will have the right to appoint four directors to the Issuer’s board.

 

   

A seventh, “Independent Director” will be jointly agreed by the parties.

 

   

The Shareholders’ Agreement includes corporate governance provisions that require six directors to approve certain actions by the Issuer, including (subject in each case to certain exceptions):

 

   

the merger or consolidation of the Issuer;

 

   

the issuance of equity securities of the Issuer;

 

   

the removal of certain executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, and the appointment of replacements;

 

   

material changes to the Strategic Plan of the Issuer and the annual update of the Business Plan of the Issuer;

 

   

the purchase of assets or the incurrence of debt, in either case, in excess of $25 million;

 

   

the amendment of the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, if such amendment conflicts with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement;

 

   

the declaration or payment of dividends with respect to the Common Stock that deviate from an agreed upon policy; and

 

   

certain other matters.

 

   

Los Avellanos and Hazels agree to vote their shares of Common Stock in the same manner as Sparrow, except for any matter that requires, but does not obtain, the approval of six directors of the Issuer, as required by the Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

   

Los Avellanos and Hazels on the one hand and Sparrow on the other hand will have a right of first offer on the shares of Common Stock held by the other party along with customary “tag-along” rights. Sparrow will also have certain “drag-along” rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by Los Avellanos and Hazels. These drag-along rights take effect beginning four years after the Closing Date and only if Sparrow fails to achieve certain investment returns.

 

11


Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement

The Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement sets forth the agreements of the parties thereto regarding, among other things, the governance of Sparrow 2, the transfer of their shares of Sparrow 2, and the potential “earn out” payment to Hazels. Sparrow 2 is a company that will, after the Closing, hold 16,060,000 shares of Common Stock. It will initially be wholly-owned by Sparrow, which will own all of Sparrow 2’s Class A common stock. The Warrant will grant Hazels the right, upon certain circumstances, to acquire all of the shares of Sparrow 2’s Class B common stock, which would represent all of the economic interests (but none of the voting interests) in Sparrow 2. The provisions of the Sparrow Shareholders Agreement take effect only on and after the Closing and include the following.

 

   

Los Avellanos and Hazels will have the right to approve certain matters regarding Sparrow 2, including the declaration and payment of dividends, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions of assets, incurrence of liabilities, issuance of securities, and other matters (in each case subject to certain exceptions).

 

   

Los Avellanos and Hazels on the one hand and Sparrow on the other hand will have a right of first offer on the shares of Sparrow 2 and Sparrow common stock held by the other party along with customary “tag-along” rights. The Shareholders’ Agreement also grants Sparrow certain “drag-along” rights with respect to the shares of Sparrow 2 common stock held by Los Avellanos and Hazels. These drag-along rights take effect beginning four years after the Closing Date and only if Sparrow fails to achieve certain investment returns.

 

   

In the event that the investments that Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III, L.P., an Ontario limited partnership, and Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund IV, L.P., an Ontario limited partnership (together “Southern Cross”), make in the Issuer achieve, upon their liquidation, rates of return in connection with their investments in the Issuer that are in excess of certain thresholds, then Sparrow shall pay to Hazels a portion of that excess. This payment may be in the form of cash, shares of the Issuer or other consideration specified in the Sparrow Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

   

Under certain circumstances, including the sale by Sparrow of all of its Common Stock, the Class A common stock of Sparrow 2 will be canceled, and the Class B common stock will come to represent all of the voting interests in Sparrow 2.

Warrant

The Warrant will grant Hazels the right, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, to purchase all of the Class B common stock of Sparrow 2 for $0.01 per share. These triggering events include:

 

   

Southern Cross achieving a certain rate of return on its investments in the Issuer or rejecting an offer to acquire its Common Stock at a price that would achieve those rates of return,

 

   

the 360-day moving average market price of the Issuer exceeding certain thresholds,

 

   

the Issuer or Sparrow or an affiliate of Sparrow selling at least 22,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price that, if all of Sparrow’s shares were sold at that price, would achieve a certain rate of return, or

 

   

Sparrow refusing a request to make such a sale, or preventing the Issuer from making such a sale, at any time when the 180-day moving average price of the Common Stock was sufficiently high to achieve a certain rate of return.

The Warrant will expire if the employment of F. Menendez or R. Menendez is terminated under certain circumstances or if Sparrow sells all of its shares of Common Stock and none of the triggering events listed above have occurred.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Registration Rights Agreement will grant Sparrow, Los Avellanos and Hazels the right to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement for the sale by them of their shares of Common Stock, all as described in that agreement.
