[SCHEDULE 13D/A] OceanPal Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Amendment No. 14 to a Schedule 13D reports that Eleftherios Papatrifon increased his beneficial stake in OceanPal Inc. through ownership of convertible Series C and Series D preferred shares and vested equity awards. As of September 3, 2025, OceanPal had 6,696,039 common shares outstanding and the Reporting Person beneficially owned 1,085,006 shares, representing 13.94% of the class. That total reflects ownership of 915 Series D preferred shares convertible into 466,313 common shares and 1,214 Series C preferred shares convertible into 618,693 common shares, each subject to conversion restrictions that prevent beneficial ownership above 49%. The filing states acquisitions were through equity awards, distributions and a purchase from Abra Marinvest, and that the holdings are for investment purposes while the Reporting Person remains a board member.

Positive

• Transparent disclosure of convertible preferred holdings and conversion amounts (466,313 from Series D; 618,693 from Series C).
• Conversion caps in the Statements of Designation limit beneficial ownership to under 49%, reducing immediate takeover risk.
• Reporting Person is a board member, providing investors clarity on alignment between ownership and governance roles.

Negative

• Material ownership increase to 13.94% could affect voting outcomes and influence despite stated investment intent.
• Convertible instruments create potential dilution for common shareholders if converted, subject to the disclosed conversion mechanics.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Reporting Person now beneficially owns 13.94% via convertible preferreds and awards, a material minority stake that can affect governance dynamics.

The filing documents a clear increase in reported beneficial ownership to 1,085,006 shares or 13.94% of outstanding common stock, derived from vested Series C awards and Series D preferred conversions. The disclosed conversion aggregates (466,313 from Series D and 618,693 from Series C) explain the composition of the position. Restrictions cap conversion so the holder cannot exceed 49% beneficial ownership. For investors this disclosure clarifies potential dilution from conversions and identifies a director with significant vested convertibles, which is relevant to control and voting expectations.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: A board member holds substantial convertible instruments; conversion limits and stated investment purpose reduce immediate control concerns.

The report confirms the Reporting Person is a board and executive committee member and beneficially holds convertible preferreds and awards representing 13.94% of shares. The Statements of Designation contain explicit ownership caps that prevent conversion past 49%, which is an important governance safeguard. The filer discloses potential to act with other shareholders and to advise management, but the filing indicates holdings are presently held for investment, with no agreed plans to change control disclosed.
