Item 8.01 Other Events
SEACOR Holdings Inc. ("SEACOR") has previously provided notice to holders of its (1) 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and (2) 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) that they have the right to convert their Notes in connection with the previously announced spin-off of SEACOR's wholly-owned subsidiary, SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. ("SEACOR Marine") by way of a dividend of all of SEACOR Marine's common stock to holders of SEACOR common stock (the “Spin-Off”). On May 17, 2017, SEACOR notified the trustee under the indenture for each of the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes that from May 17, 2017 through June 1, 2017, SEACOR will physically settle any Notes surrendered for conversion in shares of SEACOR common stock.
The Spin-Off will be effective at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2017. Any holder of Notes that converts its Notes on or prior to June 1, 2017, the distribution date for the Spin-Off (the "Distribution Date"), will be entitled to receive the Spin-Off distribution by virtue of its ownership of shares of SEACOR common stock. In the Spin-Off distribution, SEACOR will distribute to its shareholders, for every share of SEACOR common stock held, one share of SEACOR Marine common stock multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 17,671,356 and the denominator of which is the number of shares of SEACOR common stock outstanding at the time of the Spin-Off. To the extent holders of Notes convert their Notes on or prior to the Distribution Date, the number of shares of SEACOR Marine common stock that each stockholder of SEACOR will be entitled to in the Spin-Off may decrease from the previously announced distribution ratio of approximately 1.007 shares of SEACOR Marine common stock for every share of SEACOR common stock (the "Distribution Ratio") as a result of the increase in the number of outstanding shares of SEACOR common stock following such conversion. In the information statement relating to the Spin-Off filed by SEACOR Marine as Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 12, 2017, SEACOR Marine stated that the Distribution Ratio was based on an assumption that holders of Notes do not convert prior to the record date for the Spin-Off. The Distribution Ratio is also based on the assumption that holders of Notes do not convert prior to the Distribution Date.
