THIS STATEMENT CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO THE SCHEDULE 13D PREVIOUSLY FILED

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Amendment No. 9 (this “Amendment No. 9”) to Schedule 13D (originally filed on March 20, 2002, subsequently amended and restated on September 8, 2005 and subsequently amended on October 12, 2005, October 25, 2005, December 13, 2005, February 9, 2006, November 29, 2006, July 3, 2008 and January 13, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common shares, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Shares”), of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited, an exempted company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”). The principal executive office of the Company is located at 367 Syngrou Avenue, 175 64 P. Faliro, Athens, Greece. Information given in response to each item below shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 9 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) This Amendment No. 9 is being filed pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement (attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference) by (i) Kelley Enterprises Inc. (“Kelley”); (ii) Marsland Holdings Limited (“Marsland”); (iii) Redmont Trading Corp. (“Redmont”); (iv) First Tsakos Investments Inc. (“First Tsakos”); and (v) Tsakos Holdings Foundation (“Tsakos Holdings” and, together with Kelley, Marsland, Redmont and First Tsakos, the “Reporting Persons”), which persons may be deemed, but are not conceded, to constitute a “group” within Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Tsakos Holdings is a Liechtenstein foundation whose beneficiaries include persons and entities affiliated with the Tsakos family, charitable institutions and other unaffiliated persons and entities. The council which controls Tsakos Holdings consists of six members, two of whom are members of the Tsakos family. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), beneficial ownership includes the power to directly or indirectly vote or dispose of securities or to share such power. It does not necessarily imply economic ownership of the securities. Members of the Tsakos family are among the six council members of Tsakos Holdings and accordingly may be deemed to share voting and/or dispositive power with respect to the shares owned by Tsakos Holdings and may be deemed the beneficial owners of such shares. Tsakos Holdings owns all of the outstanding shares of Redmont and First Tsakos.

First Tsakos is a holding company organized under the laws of Liberia which owns all of the outstanding shares of Kelley and Marsland.

Redmont is a holding company organized under the laws of Liberia which beneficially owns the number of Common Shares indicated herein.


 

Marsland is a holding company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands which beneficially owns the number of Common Shares indicated herein.

Kelley is a holding company organized under the laws of the Bahamas which beneficially owns the number of Common Shares indicated herein.

(b) The addresses of the principal offices of each of the Reporting Persons are as set forth on Schedule A. Schedule A is incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment No. 9.

(c) Attached as Schedule B is the name, principal occupation (where applicable) and business address of each member, executive officer and/or director of each of the Reporting Persons. Schedule B is incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment No. 9.

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor any person listed on Schedule B has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor any person listed on Schedule B has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

See the response to Item 4, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 4. Purposes of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

On October 27, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Kelley, Marsland and Redmont, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 896,861 Common Shares at a price of $11.30 per Common Share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Kelley, Marsland and Redmont purchased 424,424 Common Shares, 260,432 Common Shares and 212,005 Common Shares, respectively. The 896,861 Common Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-159218), including a preliminary prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on October 27, 2010 and a final prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act on October 29, 2010. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted to Kelley, Marsland and Redmont certain registration rights covering resales of the 896,861 Common Shares. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment No. 9 and incorporated by reference herein.


 

The source of funds for the purchase of the 896,861 Common Shares was capital contributions from the respective shareholders of Kelley, Marsland and Redmont. In addition, each of Kelley, Marsland and Redmont acquired the 424,424 Common Shares, 260,432 Common Share and 212,005 Common Shares, respectively, to increase its investment in the Company. Each of Kelley, Marsland and Redmont is holding its Common Shares solely for investment purposes and each has no plans or proposals with respect to any material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure or, generally, any other action referred to in instructions (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Tsakos beneficially and of record own 3,952,232, 274,200 and 129,000 Common Shares, respectively. Together, the group would be deemed to beneficially own 15,854,481 Common Shares, constituting 34.6% of the Company.

 

(1) First Tsakos is the sole holder of the outstanding capital stock of Kelley and Marsland and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power of the Common Shares reported by Kelley and Marsland. Tsakos Holdings is the sole holder of outstanding capital stock of First Tsakos and Redmont and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power of the Common Shares reported by Kelley, Marsland and Redmont.
(2) The applicable percentage of ownership of each shareholder is based on the Company’s 45,806,887 issued and outstanding Common Shares as of November 1, 2010.


 

(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Items (7) through (11) of the portions of pages 2 through 6 hereto which relate to Common Shares beneficially owned are incorporated herein by reference.
