Note
 
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 26, 2018. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
The disclosure herein reflects the one-for-eight reverse split that was effected with respect to Class A Common Shares on March 25, 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and is based on 17,556,738 Class A Common Shares outstanding as of October 1, 2019, as disclosed in the Prospectus filed by the Issuer with the SEC on September 30, 2019 (including Class A Common Shares outstanding following the underwriter’s full exercise of its option to purchase additional shares).

Item 2
Identity and Background:
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by removing John J. Kim from the Reporting Persons.
 
Item 3
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
With respect to each of  Mr. Gross and CMA CGM, the number of Class A Common Shares among the Subject Stock has been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Item 5
Interest in Securities of the Issuer:
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to the Subject Stock, subject to the conditions and limitations of the Voting Agreement. The Subject Stock represents approximately 0.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares.
Other than the Subject Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in connection with the Voting Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons has acquired or, for the purposes of Rule 13d-4 under the Act, beneficially owns any Class A Common Shares.
If the Voting Agreement Parties are deemed to have formed a Section 13(d) group, such group would beneficially own 4,395,681 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, although in no case does any of the Reporting Persons, CMA CGM or Mr. Gross have or share voting or investment power with respect to the entirety of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock. See the discussion of the Voting Agreement and Subject Stock in Item 4.
None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in Class A Common Shares during the past 60 days.
The Reporting Persons are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Issuer with respect to the Subject Stock, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Voting Agreement.
To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of any Class A Common Shares that may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, except for each of Mr. Gross and CMA CGM in respect of their respective Subject Stock.

Item 6
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer:
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
Letter Agreement Regarding Series C Preferred Shares


In September 2019, Kelso entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the “Letter Agreement”), whereby Kelso agreed to convert its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into Class A common shares upon the repayment in full of the Issuer’s 9.875% First Priority Secured Notes due 2022. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement Regarding Series C Preferred Shares, which is Exhibit 99.6 to this Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 7
Materials to be Filed as Exhibits:
 Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
     
Exhibit No.
 
Description
   
99.6
