(“SEACOR”) multiplied by $41.50, and (ii) 1,600,613 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding “in-the-money” stock options multiplied by an amount equal to $41.50 minus the exercise price for such options. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by SEACOR as of December 16, 2020.

The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2021 beginning on October 1, 2020, issued August 26, 2020, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.00010910.

This Amendment No. 18 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Safari Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Safari Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), American Industrial Partners Capital Fund VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AIP Fund VII”) and AIPCF VII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of AIP Fund VII, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2020 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent which is controlled by affiliates of AIP Fund VII, to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Shares”), of SEACOR Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SEACOR”), at a price of $41.50 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated December 18, 2020 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which are annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(G), respectively. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of AIPCF VII, LLC, AIP Fund VII, Parent and Purchaser. Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in the Schedule TO are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

Schedule TO

The following paragraph is added to Item 11 of the Schedule TO: “On April 11, 2021, SEACOR, Parent and Purchaser entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which is attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(6) and incorporated herein by reference.”

The following paragraph is added to Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Schedule TO: “On April 12, 2021, Purchaser extended the expiration of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 14, 2021. The Depository has indicated that, as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 9, 2021, a total of 14,428,458 Shares, representing 70.2% of the outstanding Shares, had been tendered. Of these Shares, 12,857,350 Shares, representing 62.6% of the outstanding Shares, were tendered physically or by book-entry, and 1,571,108 shares, representing 7.6% Shares were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures, and the actual delivery of Shares in excess of the minimum tender condition is required in order for Purchaser to accept for payment all Shares tendered. Accordingly, the Offer has been extended until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 in order for the requisite number of these tendered Shares to be delivered either physically or by book entry, and SEACOR and Purchaser have agreed to extend the End Date under the Merger Agreement to Friday, April 16, 2021. In connection with these actions, Purchaser has agreed to pay SEACOR, on each day on which it announces an extension of the Offer following April 11, 2021, an extension fee of $1,250,000 per each calendar day of the extension of the Offer from the last scheduled extension of April 9, 2021 (for a total amount of $8,750,000 if the Offer is extended through April 16, 2021). The press release announcing the extension of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(Q) and incorporated herein by reference.”

Offer to Purchase

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase set forth below and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

   

The Offer is extended to, and will expire, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 14, 2021. As a result, the Offer to Purchase (Exhibit (a)(1)(A)), Form of Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(D)), Form of Letter to Clients for Use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(E)) and Form of Summary Advertisement (Exhibit (a)(1)(F)) are hereby amended by replacing all references to “5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 9, 2021” with “5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 14, 2021”.

 

   

The End Date has been amended to be April 16, 2021. As a result, the Offer to Purchase (Exhibit (a)(1)(A)) and Form of Summary Advertisement (Exhibit (a)(1)(F)) are hereby amended by replacing all references to April 5, 2021 with April 16, 2021.


   

All references to delivery of Shares through guaranteed delivery procedures and the Form of Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are hereby removed from the Offer to Purchase (Exhibit (a)(1)(A)), Form of Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(D)) and Form of Summary Advertisement (Exhibit (a)(1)(F)).

 

   

Section 10 – “Background of the Offer; Contacts with SEACOR” in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following after the last paragraph under the subheading “Background of the Offer and the Merger”:

“After commencement of the Offer and in consultation with SEACOR, Purchaser extended the Offer through multiple extensions until April 9, 2021 to allow shareholders additional time to tender their Shares and to reach the Minimum Tender Condition. SEACOR provided Purchaser with its consent for the extensions after April 5, 2021 until April 9, 2021.

From the evening of April 9, 2021 through April 11, 2021, AIP, Ropes & Gray, Milbank and SEACOR had discussions regarding the best approach to take in order to close the Offer and Merger. Following these discussions, in order to achieve these objectives, AIP and SEACOR agreed (i) to extend the Expiration Date to April 14, 2021, (ii) to extend the End Date to April 16, 2021, (iii) to remove the ability to tender shares through guaranteed delivery procedures and (iv) for Purchaser to pay SEACOR an extension fee of $1,250,000 per each calendar day of the extension of the Offer from the last scheduled extension of April 9, 2021. During this period, Milbank and Ropes & Gray exchanged drafts of the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement and an Affirmation of Limited Guarantee. Parent also provided to Milbank, and Milbank reviewed, Parent’s amended and restated Debt Commitment Letters, which extended the commitment, among other things. Parent, Purchaser and SEACOR signed the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Affirmation of Limited Guarantee on April 11, 2021. Early in the morning of April 12, 2021, and prior to the opening of the U.S. stock markets, AIP, Purchaser and SEACOR issued a joint press release publicly disclosing entry into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement and the extension of the Offer.”

The Affirmation of Limited Guarantee is incorporated hereby by reference and attached as Exhibit (d)(7).”

 

   

Section 12—“Source and Amount of Funds” in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by adding the following as the last paragraph under the subheading “Debt Financing”:
