Greywolf group files Schedule 13G reporting ownership in Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (OMEX). Greywolf Capital Management LP and affiliated entities report beneficial ownership that includes 4,542,471 shares when accounting for 342,391 warrants exercisable for one share each. That aggregate equals 9.98% of the class based on 45,532,990 shares outstanding as of August 12, 2025.
The filing shows Greywolf Opportunities Master Fund II LP directly holds 4,200,080 shares (9.3%), with Greywolf Advisors LLC reporting the same shared voting/dispositive power. The filing is made under Rule 13d-1(c); reporting persons disclaim affirmative formation of a group while disclosing shared voting and dispositive powers and the existence of exercisable warrants.
Positive
Clear disclosure of direct holdings (4,200,080 shares) and derivative holdings (342,391 warrants) provides transparency to the market
Aggregate ownership quantified at 4,542,471 shares and 9.98% of the class, with the outstanding share base (45,532,990) specified
Negative
Ownership approaches 10% (9.98%), which may attract investor and issuer scrutiny despite the filers' passive filing classification
Insights
TL;DR: Greywolf disclosures signal a near-10% stake including exercisable warrants, a material ownership position for OMEX.
The filing quantifies direct and derivative exposure: 4,200,080 shares held directly by Greywolf Master Fund II and 342,391 exercisable warrants held by the Investment Manager increase aggregate beneficial ownership to 4,542,471 shares (9.98%). The percent is computed using 45,532,990 shares outstanding, and the filing is made under Rule 13d-1(c). For investors, the key takeaway is the consolidated disclosure of voting and dispositive power across multiple related entities and the presence of derivative securities that raise ownership close to 10% of the class.
TL;DR: The report properly discloses shared voting/dispositive power and exercisable warrants; governance implications are disclosure-driven, not an admission of control.
The schedule shows that multiple related entities and an individual (Jonathan Savitz) may be deemed beneficial owners due to shared powers and warrant rights, yet the filers expressly disclaim beneficial ownership beyond disclosure. Filing under 13d-1(c) indicates passive intent rather than an active control purpose per the certification. Material governance impact arises from consolidated influence near the 10% mark, which may prompt issuer and market attention even if no group control is affirmed.
