•

OGIL and the subsidiaries of OGIL (the “Vantage Debtors”) pursuing a pre-packaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and

•

an official liquidation proceeding under the laws of the Cayman Islands being commenced with respect to the Company (the “Cayman Liquidation”).

Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, OGIL has commenced a solicitation of votes for the Plan on December 2, 2015. In connection with the commencement of the solicitation, a Disclosure Statement was distributed to certain creditors of the Company, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein (the “Disclosure Statement”). It is expected that OGIL and such subsidiaries will commence the Chapter 11 cases on December 3, 2015.

In the Restructuring Agreement, the Company, OGIL and the subsidiaries of OGIL agree, among other things,

•

to support and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Restructuring and all transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement in accordance with certain deadlines specified in the Restructuring Agreement;

•

to support and use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all reasonably necessary actions in furtherance of the Restructuring, including the filing of bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code;

•

to take no action that is inconsistent with the Restructuring Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheet or the Plan; and

to support and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Restructuring and all transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement;

•

to vote to accept the Plan and not to vote for any restructuring other than the Plan; and

to take no action inconsistent with the Restructuring Agreement.

(“VESI”, and collectively with VIMCO Singapore, the “Vantage Parent Assets”) in exchange for a promissory note, which sale will be effected pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of December 2, 2015, by and among the Company, OGIL, VIMCO Singapore and VESI, a copy of which agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference;

•

OGIL will issue $750 million of new Senior Subordinated Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes, which shall accrue interest at a rate of 1% per annum for the first four years and 12% per annum each year after the fourth year, and will mature in 2030 (the “Secured Convertible PIK Notes”);

•

OGIL will launch a rights offering for $75 million of new Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, which shall accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum (the “Rights Offering”);

•

the Restructuring Lenders and the creditors under the Plan will agree to an intercreditor agreement; and

•

the reorganized OGIL will issue new common shares (the “New Common Shares”) and the existing shares of OGIL held by the Company will be cancelled.

The Restructuring Term Sheet anticipates that on the effective date of the Plan, among other things,

•

OGIL will issue to each holder of indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement its pro rata share of (A) the payment in full of cash to the extent the Vantage Debtors elect to refinance the Revolving Credit Agreement, (B) a new senior secured term loan and letter of credit facility on terms and conditions that facilitate the Restructuring (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”), or (C) a combination of partial payment in cash and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility;

•

each Restructuring Lender that held interests in term loans or senior secured notes of OGIL will receive (A) in satisfaction of its claim, its pro rata share of the Secured Convertible PIK Notes, (B) in satisfaction of its claim, its pro rata share of the New Common Shares, subject to certain dilution events, and (C) to the extent it has elected to participate in the Rights Offering, up to its pro rata share of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes to be issued in the Rights Offering;

•

the Company will receive New Common Shares in exchange for the promissory note it received for the Vantage Parent Assets, which shares are expected to be distributed to the Company’s creditors following the effective date of the Plan pursuant to the Cayman Liquidation; and

•

holders of administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, other priority claims, other secured claims and general unsecured creditors will receive in exchange for their claims payment in full in cash or other treatment under United States bankruptcy laws.

The foregoing description of the Restructuring Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restructuring Agreement (to which the Restructuring Term Sheet is attached), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
