Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment No. 6”) to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D filed by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 3, 2018 (the “Initial BlackRock Statement”), as amended by BlackRock on June 3, 2019 (“Amendment No. 1”), June 7, 2019 (“Amendment No. 2”), November 22, 2019 (“Amendment No. 3”), February 2, 2021 (“Amendment No. 4”), and February 3, 2021 (“Amendment No. 5” and, together with the Initial BlackRock Statement and Amendment Nos. 1 through No. 6 thereto, the “BlackRock Schedule 13D”) regarding the common stock, par value $0.03 per share (“Common Stock”), of Euroseas, Ltd. (the “Issuer”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 4 Messogiou & Evropis Street, 151 24 Maroussi, Greece.
As stated in the Initial BlackRock Statement, that filing adopted as BlackRock’s initial statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D, in respect of the Issuer’s shares of Common Stock, the Schedule 13D in respect of the Issuer’s shares of Common Stock filed on behalf of Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”) with the SEC on January 31, 2014 (the “Original TCP Schedule 13D”), as separately amended by TCP on March 20, 2014 (“TCP Amendment No. 1”), January 14, 2016 (“TCP Amendment No. 2”), March 8, 2016 (“TCP Amendment No. 3”), December 19, 2016 (“TCP Amendment No. 4”), June 12, 2017 (“TCP Amendment No. 5”), June 11, 2018 (“TCP Amendment No. 6”), August 3, 2018 (“TCP Amendment No. 7”), and June 3, 2019 (“TCP Amendment No. 8” and, together with the Original TCP Schedule 13D and TCP Amendment. Nos. 1 through No. 8 thereto, the “TCP Schedule 13D”).
Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 6 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Initial BlackRock Statement, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, or Amendment No. 5 thereto, or the TCP Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial BlackRock Statement.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 of the BlackRock Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) – (c) and (f)
Current information concerning the identity, background and citizenship of each executive officer and director of BlackRock is set forth on Annex A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On Friday, June 25, 2021, the Issuer notified TCP that, not earlier than July 9, 2021, the Issuer will redeem the Series B Preferred Shares beneficially owned by TCP at their par value ($3,335,273) as provided in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Statement of Designation of the Rights, Preferences and Privileges of the Series B Preferred Shares. On June 30, 2021, TCP notified the issuer that TCP was electing to convert all of the Series B Preferred Shares beneficially held by TCP into shares of Common Stock.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:
(e) As conveyed by the Issuer to BlackRock on June 24, 2021, the Issuer currently has 7,006,082 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Based on the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding on June 24, 2021, BlackRock has ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. As a result, this Amendment No. 6 serves as an exit filing for BlackRock with respect to the Issuer.
