ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 13, 2012 by the Reporting Person. This Amendment, and the Original Schedule 13D, relate to the Common Shares, par value 0.01 Danish Kroner per share (the “Common Shares”) of Torm A/S, a Danish company with company registration number CVR 22460218 and registered address at Tuborg Havnevej 18, DK 2900 Hellerup, Denmark (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is Tuborg Havnevej 18, DK-2900 Hellerup, Denmark. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented in any respect. This is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and an exit filing for the Reporting Person which terminates the Reporting Person’s obligation to further amend the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
Item 2 as previously filed is amended to add the following:
Following the extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) to amend the Articles of Association of the Issuer, held on January 9, 2013, the Reporting Person disclaims membership in a “group” with the other parties to the Restructuring Agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person is no longer subject to any obligation to vote in favor of the resolutions associated with amending the Issuer’s Articles of Association at the EGM as described in the Original Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Person continues to maintain that it is not the intent of the Reporting Person to control the Issuer following the EGM. The Reporting Person and each of the parties to the Restructuring Agreement continues to agree that to the extent they remain Restructuring Shareholders, until the conclusion of the ordinary general meeting of the Issuer in 2014, each will use their respective influence as independent shareholders to achieve an independent board composition for the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The Reporting Person is not party to any additional ongoing agreements with respect to the voting of Common Shares of the Issuer.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 as previously filed is amended to state the following:
The Reporting Person will continue to closely monitor and regularly review its investment in the Issuer and may engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer and other holders of the Common Shares concerning the business and future plans of the Issuer generally. As a result of the disclaimer of group status, the Reporting Person beneficially owns less than five percent of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares, and, consequently, this Amendment represents the final amendment to the Original Schedule 13D and the Reporting Person does not undertake to provide further updates of its intent.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 as previously filed is amended to state the following:
| (b) | As of January 9, 2013, the Reporting Person beneficially owns, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of, 32,863,380 Common Shares, representing 4.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and the shared power to vote and dispose of, 32,863,380 Common Shares, representing 4.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. |
| (e) | On January 9, 2013, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares. |
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
