Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE:OSG) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02Results of Operations & Financial Condition.

Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has filed this Current Report on Form 8-K to announce that, based on current estimates, it expects to recognize a one-time non-cash tax benefit of approximately $40.0 million in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. This estimated tax benefit is based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of the impact of the recently passed federal tax reform legislation (commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017), which reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. As a result of this corporate income tax rate reduction, the Company is required under US generally accepted accounting principles to revalue its net deferred tax liability based on the new lower tax rate.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
