OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION (NASDAQ:OHAI) Files An 8-K Other EventsItem 8.01. Other Events.
The purpose of this Form 8-K is to provide shareholders with updated information regarding Castex Energy 2005, L.P. (“Castex”), one of the Registrant’s legacy portfolio companies (acquired prior to September 30, 2014, when Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. assumed management of the Registrant).
The Registrant is a holder of preferred limited partnership units in Castex. As previously disclosed in the Registrant’s Form 10-Q and 10-K filings, the Registrant exercised (with respect to all of its preferred limited partnership units) a put right on July 1, 2016. The put right remains unsatisfied by Castex to date.
On October 16, 2017, Castex announced that it (together with certain affiliates) has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. According to the filing, Castex and its affiliates in bankruptcy have entered into a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) with pre-petition lenders holding approximately 86% in principal amount of claims under the pre-petition credit facility. The RSA outlines a plan of reorganization for Castex and its affiliates in bankruptcy. As currently proposed, the RSA does not provide for any recovery to the holders of preferred limited partnership units of Castex, including those preferred limited partnership unit holders who have exercised their put rights.
The Registrant is not a party to the RSA and is exploring all available options for a recovery on its investment in Castex.
Future information regarding the fair value of the preferred limited partnership units for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 will be provided in the Registrant’s Form 10-Q.
