Euroholdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BWG. As of the date hereof, BWG holds 45.53% of LPG. The Foundation holds 93.25% of BWG. The Reporting Persons may be considered a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
Set forth in Schedule 1 to this Statement are the name, business address and present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of each of the Reporting Persons, which is incorporated herein by reference.
During the last five years prior to the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons with respect to whom information is given in response to this Item 2 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been a party to a civil proceeding ending in 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 or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
As described herein, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of July 17, 2015, between Euroholdings and Scorpio Tankers Inc.
