Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
This Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on June 13, 2011 (the Original Schedule 13D and, as supplemented and amended by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D) with respect to the Shares of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting paragraphs (a) and (c) in their entirety and replacing them with the following.
(a) This statement is filed by (i) Indigo Miramar LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Indigo Miramar), (ii) Indigo Florida L.P., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (Indigo Florida), (iii) Long Bar Miramar LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Long Bar Miramar), and (iv) William A. Franke (Mr. Franke, and together with Indigo Miramar, Long Bar Miramar and Indigo Florida, the Reporting Persons). The Reporting Persons are filing this statement jointly pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
(c) Mr. Franke is the Managing Partner of Indigo Partners LLC, a private equity fund focused on investments in the air transportation industry with a principal business address of 2525 E. Camelback Road, Suite 800, Phoenix, Arizona 85016. None of Indigo Miramar, Indigo Florida, Long Bar Miramar and the Related Persons has significant independent business operations and each of them is an investment entity affiliated with and managed by Indigo Partners LLC.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph with respect to Indigo Miramar and Long Bar Miramar.
On December 7, 2011, the Issuer, Indigo Miramar, Nilchii, LLC (Nilchii), Mesa Air Group, Inc., Anchorage Illiquid Opportunities Offshore Master, L.P. (Anchorage Master), Anchorage Illiquid Opportunities Offshore Master II, L.P. (Anchorage Master II, and together with Anchorage Master, Anchorage) and PAR Investment Partners, L.P. (PAR), entered into a stock distribution agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated by reference herein (the Stock Distribution Agreement). The Stock Distribution Agreement relates to the in-kind distribution of 7,618,976 Shares of the Issuer in proportion to the ownership interest in Indigo Miramar held by Nilchii, the subsequent distribution of Shares of the Issuer to Anchorage and PAR, and certain regulatory provisions. In connection with the distribution by Indigo Miramar, Long Bar Miramar will be entitled to receive from Indigo Miramar 1,015,863 Shares of the Issuer in accordance with its proportionate ownership interest in Indigo Miramar. As a result of the changes in the form of beneficial ownership, Indigo Miramar will no longer be a beneficial owner of Shares of the Issuer. The ownership amounts included in this Schedule 13D give effect to the stock distributions contemplated by the Stock Distribution Agreement.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the third paragraph of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D and replacing all references to Indigo Miramar with references to Long Bar Miramar.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restates Item 5 in its entirety as follows.
6
(a), (b) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, as of October 27, 2011, there are 72,530,256 Shares issued and outstanding. Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar, comprising a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and for purposes of qualifying the Issuer as a controlled company pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, beneficially own in the aggregate 15,237,954 Shares, comprised of 14,222,091 Shares beneficially owned by Indigo Florida and 1,015,863 Shares beneficially owned by Long Bar Miramar. Indigo Florida beneficially owns 19.6% and Long Bar Miramar beneficially owns 1.4%, of the total outstanding Shares. Indigo Pacific Partners LLC is the sole member of Indigo Pacific Capital LLC, which is the general partner of Indigo Pacific Management LP, which is the general partner of Indigo Florida. Indigo Management LLC is the manager of Long Bar Miramar. Mr. Franke, a member of the Issuers board of directors, is a managing member of Indigo Pacific Partners LLC and a manager of Indigo Management LLC and shares voting and dispositive power over the shares held by Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar. Mr. Franke disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, and disclaims membership in a group with Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar. Nothing herein shall constitute an admission that any of the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Shares, and the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
In addition, certain of the Oaktree Funds, which also comprise a group with Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar as a result of the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D below, own in the aggregate 29,146,331 Shares. The Oaktree Funds beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 40.2% of the total outstanding Shares.
The holder of each Share is entitled to one vote with respect to such Share on all matters submitted to a vote of the Issuers stockholders, including the election of directors.
(c) Other than the transactions described in Item 3, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any of the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons, has effected any transaction involving the Issuers Common Stock during the last 60 days from the date hereof.
(d) Each of Indigo Florida and Long Bar Miramar is an investment entity ultimately controlled by an entity under the control of Mr. Franke, but in respect of which certain other investors hold passive investment interests. No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and identified herein with respect to more than 5% of the Shares of the Issuer, except, with respect to Indigo Florida, limited partnership interests in Indigo Pacific Partners, L.P. owned by Havelock Fund Investments Pte. Ltd.
(e) Not applicable.
| This percentage assumes that all outstanding Shares of the Issuer are shares of voting common stock. If shares of non-voting common stock of the Issuer are issued in exchange for presently outstanding Shares as may be required by the Stock Distribution Agreement, this percentage would be slightly higher. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the section entitled Lock-Up Agreement in its entirety and adding the following paragraphs.
7
