Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As part of its initial public offering in August 2013, Franks International N.V. (the Company) issued 52,976,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of the Company (the Preferred Stock) to Mosing Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of the Company with Mosing family entities as its shareholders (MHI). Under the Companys Amended Articles of Association, upon the written election of MHI, each Preferred Share, together with a unit in Franks International C.V. (FICV), a subsidiary of the Company, is convertible into a share of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one basis.
On August 19, 2016, the Company received notice from MHI exercising its right to exchange (the Exchange Right) for an equivalent number of each of the following securities for common shares: (i) 52,976,000 Preferred Shares and (ii) 52,976,000 units in FICV. The Company expects to issue 52,976,000 common shares to MHI on August 26, 2016. Once the preferred conversion transaction is closed, there will be no remaining issued Preferred Shares and the Mosing family will beneficially own approximately 173,848,963 common shares of the Company.
The issuance of the common shares to MHI in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Right was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
