OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS



Note 1 — Basis of Presentation: 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “OSG”, “we”, “us” or “our”). The Company owns and operates a fleet of oceangoing vessels engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the U.S. Flag trades. The Company manages the operations of its fleet through its wholly owned subsidiary, OSG Bulk Ships, Inc. (“OBS”), a New York corporation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“Form 10-K”). 
On November 30, 2016 (the “Distribution Date”), OSG completed the separation of its business into two independent publicly traded companies through the spin-off of its then wholly-owned subsidiary International Seaways, Inc. (“INSW”). The spin-off separated OSG and INSW into two distinct businesses with separate managements. OSG retained the U.S. Flag business and INSW holds entities and other assets and liabilities that formed OSG’s former International Flag business.
The spin-off transaction was in the form of a pro rata distribution of INSW’s common stock to our stockholders and warrant holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York time on November 18, 2016 (the “Record Date”). On the Distribution Date, each holder of OSG common stock received 0.3333 shares of INSW’s common stock for every share of OSG common stock held on the Record Date. Each holder of OSG warrants received 0.3333 shares of INSW’s common stock for every one share of OSG common stock they would have received if they exercised their warrants immediately prior to the Distribution (or 0.063327 INSW shares per warrant).
The spin-off was completed pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement and several other agreements with INSW related to the spin-off, including a Transition Services Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement. These agreements govern the relationship between us and INSW following the spin-off and provide for the allocation of various assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. These agreements also include arrangements for transition services to be provided by OSG to INSW and by INSW to OSG.
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a stock dividend of Class A common stock, whereby on December 17, 2015, all stockholders of record of the Company’s Class A and B common stock as of December 3, 2015, received a dividend of one-tenth of one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by them as of the record date. In addition, effective May 27, 2016, each Class B common share and Class B warrant automatically converted into one Class A common share and one Class A warrant, respectively, and on June 2, 2016 the Board approved an amendment (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Reverse Split Amendment effected a one-for-six reverse stock split and corresponding reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split Amendment became effective on June 13, 2016.
Note 2 — Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence from Bankruptcy: 

In October 2012, the Company disclosed that its Audit Committee, on the recommendation of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for at least the three years ended December 31, 2011 and associated interim periods, and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, should no longer be relied upon. Shortly thereafter several putative class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against

the Company. Also named as defendants were its then President and Chief Executive Officer, its then Chief Financial Officer, its then current and certain former members of its Board of the Directors, and certain Company representatives.
On November 14, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), the Parent Company and 180 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 5, 2014, a plan of reorganization (the “Equity Plan”) became effective and OSG emerged from bankruptcy.
The Company has fully and finally resolved all potential direct claims by members of the putative class of securities claimants through a settlement effectuated through Equity Plan. Under the terms of that settlement, the Equity Plan provided for full satisfaction of claims through the payment of (i) $7,000 in cash, which was paid on August 5, 2014, (ii) $3,000 in cash, which was paid on August 5, 2015, (iii) any remaining cash in the Class E1 Disputed Claims Reserve established by the Equity Plan following resolution of all other Class E1 claims, which was paid on October 5, 2015, (iv) 15% (or $2,136) of the Net Litigation Recovery in the action against Proskauer (described below), which was paid on April 5, 2016, (v) $5,000 in cash, following the entry of a final order resolving the Proskauer action, which was paid on March 17, 2016, and (vi) proceeds of any residual interest the Company has in certain director and officer insurance policies.
On January 23, 2017, the SEC commenced an administrative proceeding, with the Company’s consent, that fully resolved an SEC investigation that was initiated in connection with the Company’s earnings restatement announced in 2012. The Company neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s allegations that the Company violated certain provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and related rules. After receiving Bankruptcy Court approval, the Company paid a $5,000 civil penalty relating to the investigation in February 2017, which was fully accrued as of December 31, 2016. The settlement with the SEC does not require any further changes to the Company’s historical financial statements. Any indemnification or contribution claims by officers or directors of the Company that could be asserted in connection with the SEC’s investigation have been released or otherwise resolved pursuant to the Equity Plan and order of the Bankruptcy Court.
On February 10, 2017, pursuant to a final decree and order of the Bankruptcy Court, OSG’s one remaining case, as the Parent Company, was closed.

On February 12, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Proskauer Rose, LLP and four of its partners (“Proskauer Plaintiffs”) to settle a malpractice suit filed by the Company in March 2014. Settlement proceeds totaling $20,359 net of all related out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are included in litigation settlement, net in the table above.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s settlement with members of the putative class of securities claimants, the Company recognized an income statement charge for 15%, or $2,136, of the Net Litigation Recovery amount of $14,242 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The “Net Litigation Recovery” is the gross amount of the settlement less all related

out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Company since the inception of the action against the Proskauer Plaintiffs through the date of settlement. Further, as required by the Equity Plan, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Class B Warrant Agreement, the Company distributed 10%, or $1,423, of the Net Litigation Recovery amount to the Class B stockholders and warrant holders in May 2016. Approximately $86 of the aforementioned $1,423, which represents the proportional share of the Net Litigation Recovery payable to the Company’s Class B warrant holders, was recognized as a charge to reorganization items, net in the second quarter of 2016. The balance of $1,337 was distributed in the form of a special dividend to the Company’s Class B stockholders and was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.
Cash paid for reorganization items, excluding the SEC and Proskauer related settlement amounts noted above, were $64 and $223 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $668 and $1,756 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively. 
Note 3 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the first interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. Management is analyzing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting. Management expects that the Company will recognize substantial increases in reported amounts for property, plant and equipment and related lease liabilities upon adoption of the new standard. As of September 30, 2017, the contractual obligations for the Company’s leased vessels was approximately $277,000.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries and across capital markets. Subsequent to the May 2014 issuance, several clarifications and updates have been issued on this topic. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For public companies, the revenue standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management will apply the modified retrospective transition method. We are undertaking a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the standard. We are also collaborating with other companies in the industry to consider the impact of the standard on business assumptions, processes, systems, controls and disclosures. We are still assessing the need for changes to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting.

We continue to make progress on our implementation of this standard, the preliminary results of which indicate that there will possibly be a change to the timing of revenue recognition under spot voyage contracts. This could impact the shipping industry’s use of time charter equivalent revenues as a means of measuring performance and comparing results amongst industry participants. Our initial assessments may change as we continue to refine these assumptions.

Note 4 — Earnings per Common Share: 
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As management deemed the exercise price for the Class A and B warrants of $0.01 per share to be nominal, warrant proceeds are ignored and the shares issuable upon Class A and B warrant exercise are included in the calculation of Class A and B basic weighted average common shares outstanding for all periods.
The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units. Participating securities are defined by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, as unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

On June 2, 2016, the Board approved the Reverse Split Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Reverse Split Amendment effected the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split Amendment became effective on June 13, 2016.
Class A
There were 253,700 and 151,673 weighted average shares of unvested Class A restricted common stock shares considered to be participating securities for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and 65,769 and 49,036 weighted average shares of unvested Class A restricted common stock shares considered to be participating securities for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Such participating securities were allocated a portion of income under the two-class method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  
The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units not classified as participating securities. As of September 30, 2017, there were 430,633 shares of Class A restricted stock units and 384,084 Class A stock options outstanding which were considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As of September 30, 2016, there were 602,454 shares of Class A restricted stock units and 718,227 Class A stock options outstanding which were considered to be potentially dilutive securities. 
Class B 
There are no participating securities or potentially dilutive securities relating to the Class B common stock. The Class B shares were all converted to Class A shares in May 2016.
The components of the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 5 — Discontinued Operations:
As discussed in Note 1, on November 30, 2016, the Company completed the separation of its business into two independent publicly-traded companies through the spin-off of INSW. In connection with the spin-off, OSG and INSW entered into a number of agreements that provide a framework for governing the relationships between the parties going forward.

11

DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS


Separation and Distribution Agreement
OSG entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with INSW, which among other things, sets forth other agreements that govern the aspects of the relationship as follows.
Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. The Separation and Distribution Agreement identified certain transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities that were necessary in advance of the spin-off of INSW from OSG so that OSG and INSW retained the assets of, and the liabilities associated with, their respective businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also provided for the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between OSG and INSW.
Legal Matters and Claims; Sharing of Certain Liabilities. Subject to any specified exceptions, each party to the Separation and Distribution Agreement has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its own business, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and has indemnified the other party for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. 
Other Matters. In addition to those matters discussed above, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, among other things, (i) governs the transfer of assets and liabilities generally, (ii) terminates all intercompany arrangements between OSG and INSW except for specified agreements and arrangements that follow the Distribution, (iii) contains further assurances, terms and conditions that require OSG and INSW to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the ancillary agreements, (iv) releases certain claims between the parties and their affiliates, successors and assigns, (v) contains mutual indemnification clauses and (vi) allocates expenses of the spin-off between the parties. 
Transition Services Agreement
OSG and INSW entered into a transition services agreement (the “TSA” or “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which both parties agreed to provide each other with specified services for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Distribution. The Transition Services Agreement specified the calculation of the costs for these services. Pursuant to the terms of the TSA, OSG was to provide certain administrative services, including administrative support services related to benefit plans, human resources and legal services, for a transitional period after the spin-off. Similarly, INSW had agreed to provide certain limited transition services to OSG, including services relating to accounting activities and information and data provision services. The Transition Services Agreement provided for termination 30 days after the expiration or termination of all of the services provided thereunder. During the second quarter of 2017, this agreement terminated.
Employee Matters Agreement
OSG and INSW entered into an employee matters agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), which addressed the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities relating to employees and compensation and benefit plans and programs in which INSW employees participated, including equity incentive plans. The Employee Matters Agreement also governed the transfer of employees between OSG and INSW in connection with the Distribution and set forth certain obligations for reimbursements and indemnities between OSG and INSW. During the second quarter of 2017, this Employee Matters Agreement terminated.

Corporate administrative expenses, employee compensation and benefits related costs, and depreciation for certain administrative fixed assets were allocated to INSW through September 30, 2016, in accordance with the Shared Services and Cost Sharing Agreement and the Cost Sharing Agreement by and among, OSG, INSW and OBS. However, in accordance with the accounting standards for discontinued operations, only costs directly attributable to INSW are to be reported in the results from discontinued operations. As such, the allocated costs in the table above will differ from the costs allocated to INSW (and reported or to be reported by INSW) in accordance with the aforementioned cost sharing agreements as discussed further in Note 10, “Related Parties.” Total indirect costs allocated to INSW that are included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of operations were $710 and $6,946 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 6 — Vessels: 
There were no vessels sold or acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements, Derivatives and Fair Value Disclosures: 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: 
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash— The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value. 
Debt— The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded and non-public debt are estimated based on quoted market prices.
Interest rate caps— The fair values of interest rate caps are the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the caps at the reporting date, which include adjustments for the counterparty or the Company’s credit risk, as appropriate, after taking into consideration any underlying collateral securing the swap or cap agreements. 
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements defines fair value and established a framework for measuring fair value. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price. In addition, the fair value of assets and liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, which for the liabilities described below includes the Company's own credit risk. 
The levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value
of the assets or liabilities 

Financial Instruments that are not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than derivatives, that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy, are as follows:

Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Vessel Impairments
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company gave consideration as to whether events or changes in circumstances had occurred that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the vessels in the Company's fleet may not be recoverable. The Company concluded that the decline in previously forecasted cash flows on one of the eight ATBs, due to a change in its expected deployment, constituted an impairment triggering event as of September 30, 2017. Based on the Company's analysis, an impairment charge of $7,353 was recorded to write down the carrying value of the ATB to its estimated fair value as of September 30, 2017.

The principal assumption used in our analysis consisted of the estimated salvage value based on a third party quote, which is considered a Level 3 input.

Derivatives 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Company manages its exposure to interest rate volatility risks by using interest rate caps and swap derivative instruments. At September 30, 2017, OBS was a party to an interest rate cap agreement (“Interest Rate Cap”) with a start date of February 5, 2015 with a major financial institution covering a notional amount of $375,000 to limit the floating interest rate exposure associated with the OBS Term Loan. The Interest Rate Cap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge and contains no leverage features. The Interest Rate Cap had a cap rate of 2.5% through February 5, 2017, at which time the cap rate increased to 3.0% through the termination date of February 5, 2018.
The following tables present information with respect to gains and losses on derivative positions reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations or in the condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income.

The effect of the Company’s cash flow hedging relationships on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $415 and $964, respectively, and $101 and $4,438 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. These amounts represented the effective portion of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for interest expense associated with the Company’s interest rate caps. The amount of estimated unrealized losses that are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for interest expense associated with the Company’s interest rate caps in the next twelve months is not significant.
See Note 12, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” for disclosures relating to the impact of derivative instruments on accumulated other comprehensive loss.


Note 8 — Debt: 

Exit Financing Facilities 

Capitalized terms used hereafter in this Note 8 have the meanings given in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K or in the respective transaction documents referred to below, including subsequent amendments thereto.

On the Effective Date, to support the Equity Plan, OSG and its subsidiaries entered into secured debt facilities consisting of: (i) a secured asset-based revolving loan facility of $75,000, among the Parent Company, OBS, certain OBS subsidiaries, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “OBS ABL Facility”), secured by a first lien on substantially all of the U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries and a second lien on certain other specified U.S. Flag assets and (ii) a secured term loan of $603,000, among the Parent Company, OBS, certain OBS subsidiaries, Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies”), as Administrative Agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “OBS Term Loan”), secured by a first lien on certain specified U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries and a second lien on substantially all of the other U.S. Flag assets of OBS and its subsidiaries. On August 5, 2014, the available amounts under the OBS Term Loan were drawn in full and as of September 30, 2017, no amounts had been drawn under the OBS ABL Facility.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS


The OBS Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the loans, adjusted for optional and mandatory prepayments. However, due to a $20,000 prepayment made on May 16, 2016, the Company is no longer required to make the 1% annualized principal payments. The OBS Term Loan stipulates that if annual aggregate net cash proceeds of asset sales exceed $5,000, the net cash proceeds from each such sale are required to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets within twelve months of such sale or be used to prepay the principal balance outstanding of the facility. The OBS Term Loan is subject to additional mandatory annual prepayments in an aggregate principal amount of up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow.
Management determined that it had Excess Cash Flow under the OBS Term Loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and has projected the amount of Excess Cash Flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The mandatory prepayment, which is estimated to be approximately $27,800 will be due during the first quarter of 2018, and is therefore included in current installments of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.
The Exit Financing Facilities also contain certain restrictions relating to new borrowings, and the movement of funds between OBS and OSG (as Parent Company), which is not a borrower under the Exit Financing Facilities, as set forth in the respective loan agreements. The Parent Company’s ability to receive cash dividends, loans or advances from OBS is restricted under the Exit Financing Facilities. The Available Amount for cash dividends, loans or advances to the Parent Company permitted under the OBS Term Loan was $43,592 as of September 30, 2017.
The OBS ABL Facility matures on February 5, 2019. However, to the extent that any of the 8.125% notes due 2018 are outstanding on December 29, 2017, the maturity date of the OBS ABL Facility will be December 29, 2017. To remain in compliance with the OBS ABL Facility, the Company’s plan, as of September 30, 2017, is to pay off or refinance the outstanding balance on its 8.125% unsecured notes by December 29, 2017.
Unsecured Senior Notes 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased and retired an aggregate principal amount of $37,537 of its 8.125% notes due 2018. The aggregate loss of $1,999 realized on these transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is included in other (expense)/income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net loss reflects a $421 write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the repurchased debt.
Note 9 — Taxes:
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $3,110 and $49,755, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 33% and 48%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax (provision)/benefit of $(2,052) and $1,445, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 47% and 2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to an income tax provision resulting from stock compensation pursuant to ASU 2016-09 offset in part by the non-taxability of income subject to U.S. tonnage tax. The effective tax rate for the nine months ending September 30, 2016 is less than the statutory rate primarily as a result of non-deductible professional fees in 2016 in preparation of the separation of the domestic and international business units.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a noncurrent reserve for uncertain tax positions of $3,198 and $3,129, respectively, after taking into consideration tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards, and accrued interest of $830 and $760, respectively.
The Company is currently undergoing an examination by the Internal Revenue Service of its 2012 through 2015 tax returns. As of September 30, 2017, the IRS has not proposed any material adjustments and continues to issue Information Document Requests.

Director CompensationRestricted Stock Units and Restricted Common Stock

The Company awarded a total of 0 and 253,700 restricted Class A common stock units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to its non-employee directors. At the annual shareholders meeting during the second quarter of 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved to increase this award by 1,500,000 shares. The weighted average grant date fair value of the Company’s stock on the measurement date of such awards was $2.68 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company awarded a total of 65,769 restricted Class A common stock shares to its non-employee directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of the Company’s stock on the measurement date of such awards was $11.86 per share. Such restricted shares awards vest in full on the earlier of the next annual meeting of the stockholders or the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to each director continuing to provide services to the Company through such date. The restricted share awards granted may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting. Prior to the vesting date, a holder of restricted share awards otherwise has all rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares at the same time as common shareholders generally.
Management CompensationRestricted Stock Units and Stock Options  
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company respectively granted 0 and 165,010 time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its employees, including senior officers. The average grant date fair value of these awards was $4.04 per RSU. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock upon vesting. Each award of RSUs will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company respectively awarded 0 and 63,532 performance-based RSUs to its senior officers. Each performance stock unit represents a contingent right to receive RSUs based upon continuous employment through the end of the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019 (the “Performance Period”) and shall vest as follows: (i) one-half of the target RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable subject to OSG’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance in the three-year ROIC performance period relative to a target rate (the “ROIC Target”) set forth in the award agreements (the formula for ROIC is net operating profit after taxes divided by the net of total debt plus shareholders equity less cash); and (ii) one-half of the target RSUs will be subject to OSG’s three-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to that of a performance peer group over a three-year TSR performance period (“TSR Target”). The peer group will consist of companies that comprise the Standard and Poor’s Transportation Select Index during the performance Period. Vesting is subject in each case to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s (“HRC”) certification of achievement of the performance measures and targets no later than March 31, 2020.
Both the ROIC target RSUs and the TSR target RSUs are subject to an increase up to a maximum of 47,647 target RSUs (aggregate 95,294 target RSU’s) or decrease depending on performance against the applicable measure and targets. The ROIC Performance Goal is a performance condition which, as of September 30, 2017, management believed, was considered probable of being achieved. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, compensation costs have been recognized. The grant date fair value of the TSR based performance awards, which has a market condition, was determined to be $4.04 per RSU.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company respectively awarded 0 and 135,804 stock options to certain senior officers. Each stock option represents an option to purchase one share of Class A common stock for an exercise price of $4.04 per share. The average grant date fair value of the options was $1.89 per option. Stock options may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting. Each stock option will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the award date. The stock options expire on the business day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the award date. If a stock option grantee’s employment is terminated for cause (as defined in the applicable Form of Grant Agreement), stock options (whether then vested or exercisable or not) will lapse and will not be exercisable. If a stock option grantee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than cause, the option recipient may exercise the vested portion of the stock option but only within such period of time ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the 90th day ending after the option holder’s employment terminated and (ii) the expiration of the options, provided that if the option holder’s employment terminates for death or disability the vested portion of the option may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of employment termination and (ii) the expiration date of the options.

Certain of the bareboat charters-in provide for the payment of profit share to the owners of the vessels calculated in accordance with the respective charter agreements. Due to reserve funding requirements and current rate forecasts, no profits are currently expected to be paid to the owners in respect of the charter term through December 31, 2019. Certain of the charters in the above table also provide the Company with renewal and purchase options.
Charters-out:
The future minimum revenues, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be received on noncancelable time charters and certain contracts of affreightment (“COAs”) for which minimum annual revenues can be reasonably estimated and the related revenue days (calendar days, less days on which vessels are not available for employment due to repairs, drydock or lay-up) are as follows:

Future minimum revenues do not include COAs for which minimum annual revenues cannot be reasonably estimated. Revenues from those COAs that are included in the table above, $5,607 (2017), $22,698 (2018), $23,031 (2019) and $6,356 (2020), are based on minimum annual volumes of cargo to be loaded during the contract periods at a fixed price and do not contemplate early termination of the COAs as provided in the agreements. Amounts that would be due to the Company in the event of the cancellation of the COA contracts have not been reflected in the table above. Revenues from a time charter are not generally received when a vessel is off-hire, including time required for normal periodic maintenance of the vessel. In arriving at the minimum future charter revenues, an estimated time off-hire to perform periodic maintenance on each vessel has been deducted, although there is no assurance that such estimate will be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future.

Business Overview:
OSG is a publicly traded tanker company providing energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets. OSG is a major operator of tankers and ATBs in the Jones Act industry. OSG’s 24-vessel U.S. Flag fleet consists of eight ATBs, two lightering ATBs, three shuttle tankers, nine MR tankers, and two non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program (“MSP”). OSG is committed to setting high standards of excellence for its quality, safety and environmental programs. OSG is recognized as one of the world’s most customer-focused marine transportation companies and is headquartered in Tampa, FL. Our revenues are derived predominantly from time charter agreements for specific periods of time at fixed daily amounts. We also charter-out vessels for specific voyages where typically we earn freight revenue at spot market rates.
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition as of September 30, 2017 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. You should consider the foregoing when reviewing the condensed consolidated financial statements and this discussion and analysis. You should read this section together with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes industry data and forecasts that we have prepared based, in part, on information obtained from industry publications and surveys. Third-party industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. In addition, certain statements regarding our market position in this report are based on information derived from internal market studies and research reports. Unless we state otherwise, statements about the Company’s relative competitive position in this report are based on management's beliefs, internal studies and management's knowledge of industry trends. 
All dollar amounts are in thousands, except daily dollar amounts and per share amounts.
Operations and Oil Tanker Markets:
Our revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by us and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported.

25


 OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In the Jones Act Trades within which the majority of our vessels operate, demand factors for transportation are affected almost exclusively by supply and distribution decisions of oil producers, refiners and distributors based in the United States. Further, the demand for U.S. domestic oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the U.S. and global economy, the level of imports into the U.S. from OPEC and other foreign producers, oil production in the United States, and the relative price differentials of U.S. produced crude oil and refined petroleum products as compared with comparable products sourced from or destined for foreign markets, including the cost of transportation on international flag vessels to or from those markets. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally through storage, deletions, or conversions. Our revenues are also affected by the mix of charters between spot (voyage charter which includes short-term time charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter).
We consider attaining the stability of cash flow offered by time charters to be a fundamental characteristic of the objectives of our chartering approach. As such, we seek, over time, to pursue an overall chartering strategy that covers the majority of available vessel operating days with medium term charters or contracts of affreightment. Medium-term charters may not always be remunerative, nor prove achievable under certain market conditions. As such, during periods of uncertainty in our markets, more of our vessels could be exposed to the spot market, which is more volatile and less predictable. Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, we manage our vessels based on time charter equivalent ("TCE") revenues and TCE rates, which are non-GAAP measures and represents GAAP shipping revenues, less voyage expenses and TCE revenues divided by revenue days, respectively. These measures are used because management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved.
TCE rates for Jones Act Product Carriers and large ATBs available for service in the spot market increased during the third quarter of 2017 from levels experienced during the second quarter of 2017. We experienced disruptions in revenue days due to hurricane activity during the quarter; however, this was partially mitigated by recoveries from customers. There was also a temporary spike in demand for transportation capacity subsequent to the hurricanes. This led to an increase in TCE rates. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, rates have declined. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, TCE rates decreased in comparison to the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in rates and medium-term employment opportunities can be attributed to an increase in both the number and spot availability of Jones Act vessels, as compared to, prior periods and continued weak demand for coast-wise transportation of crude oil. Price differentials favoring imports of foreign crude oil at northeastern refineries and a significant increase in the volumes of crude oil exports emanating from the Gulf of Mexico have contributed significantly to the shift in demand dynamics for domestic crude oil transportation. Notwithstanding the recovery of both price and production volumes of US crude oil from lows seen in 2016, a corresponding recovery in demand for crude oil transportation within the Jones Act trades has yet to materialize. These factors have led to the redeployment of a number of Jones Act vessels out of the crude trades into clean product trades, placing significant downward pressure on TCE rates.
As of September 30, 2017, the industry’s entire Jones Act fleet of Product Carriers and large ATBs (defined as vessels having carrying capacities of between 140,000 barrels and 350,000 barrels, which excludes numerous tank barges below 140,000 barrel capacity and 11 much larger tankers dedicated exclusively to the Alaskan crude oil trade) consisted of 96 vessels, compared with 86 vessels as of September 30, 2016. During the third quarter of 2017, there was one Product Tanker delivery and one large ATB delivery and no vessels scrapped. In addition to the 96 vessels mentioned above, one late-1970s-built crude oil tanker previously deployed in the Alaskan trade is currently operating in the lower-48 coastwise trade. 
The industry’s firm Jones Act orderbook as of September 30, 2017, with deliveries scheduled through the first quarter of 2018 consisted of four vessels (one Product Carrier and three large ATBs). We do not have any Jones Act vessels on order.
Delaware Bay lightering volumes averaged 170,000 b/d in the third quarter of 2017 compared with 156,000 b/d in the third quarter of 2016. The increase primarily resulted from increased demand from one customer.

Vessel Operating Contribution
Vessel Operating Contribution, a non-GAAP measure, is TCE revenues minus vessel expenses and charter hire expenses.
Our “niche market activities”, which includes Delaware Bay lightering, MSP vessels and shuttle tankers, continue to provide a stable operating platform underlying our total US Flag operations. These vessels’ operations are insulated from the forces affecting the broader Jones Act market.

During the third quarter of 2017, TCE revenues decreased by $24,767, or 22.6%, to $84,882 compared to $109,649 in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease reflected weakening market conditions and a growing proportion of our fleet becoming exposed to the spot markets. While the total number of revenue days remained relatively consistent from 2,181 days in 2016 to 2,097 days in 2017, the number of revenue days on spot voyages, which earned significantly lower average TCE daily rates, almost doubled from 2016 to 2017. For the third quarter, the average daily spot rate decreased from $43,968 in 2016 to $28,325 in 2017.Vessel expenses decreased 10.0%, or $3,680, to $33,159 in the third quarter of 2017 from $36,839 in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to cost reductions during 2017 as well as the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2017, signed by the President in May 2017, which approved increases in the MSP subsidy from $3.5 million per vessel per year to $5.0 million per vessel per year. MSP subsidies are recorded as an offset to vessel expenses. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $8,515 to $14,390 in the third quarter of 2017 from $22,905 in the third quarter of 2016 primarily resulting from impairment charges recorded in prior years which reduced the carrying value and related depreciation expense of the rebuilt Jones Act ATBs that operate in the U.S. Gulf coastwise trade.
During the first nine months of 2017, TCE revenues decreased by $58,321, or 17.3%, to $278,282 from $336,603 in the first nine months of 2016. This decrease was due to weaker market conditions and a larger proportion of our fleet being traded in the spot markets. While the total number of revenue days has only slightly decreased from 6,489 days in 2016 to 6,349 days in 2017, the number of revenue days on spot voyages, which earned significantly lower average TCE daily rates, almost doubled from 2016 to 2017. The average daily spot rate decreased from $34,071 in 2016 to $32,642 in 2017.
Vessel expenses decreased 5.6% or $6,021 to $101,332 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $107,353 for the same period in 2016 primarily due to cost reductions during 2017 and due to the increase in the MSP subsidy (as discussed above) from $3.5 million per vessel per year to $5.0 million per vessel per year. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $22,601 to $46,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $68,701 for the same period in 2016 primarily resulting from impairment charges recorded in prior years which reduced the carrying value and related depreciation expense of the rebuilt Jones Act ATBs that operate in the U.S. Gulf coastwise trade.
Two of our reflagged U.S. Flag Product Carriers participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program (the “Program”), which ensures that militarily useful U.S. Flag vessels are available to the U.S. Department of Defense in the event of war or national emergency. We receive an annual subsidy, subject in each case to annual congressional appropriations, which is intended to offset the increased cost incurred by such vessels from operating under the U.S. Flag. For fiscal year 2017, we will receive $5.0 million for each vessel. This funding level will continue through 2020, and $5.2 million beginning in 2021, subject to congressional funding. During fiscal year 2016, we received $2.7 million and $3.5 million annual subsidy for each vessel, respectively. We do not receive a subsidy for any days for which either of the two vessels operate under a time charter to a U.S. government agency.

General and Administrative Expenses: 
During the third quarter of 2017, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3,748 to $6,493 from $10,241 in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease is primarily driven by lower compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in headcount, incentive compensation and salary related expenses as well as reduced legal, accounting and consulting fees.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses decreased by $13,529 to $21,081 from $34,610 in the first nine months of 2016. This decrease is primarily due to (i) lower compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in headcount, incentive compensation and salary related expenses; (ii) a decrease in legal, accounting and consulting fees; and (iii) a decrease in rent, travel and other office related expenses. 
Interest Expense:
Interest expense was $9,474 and $28,277 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $10,607 and $33,386 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in interest expense is primarily associated with the impact of repurchases of the Company's Unsecured Senior Notes during 2017 and 2016 for $37,537 and $37,345, respectively, as well as prepayments of $59,000 during 2016 for the Company’s Exit Financing Facilities.
Income Taxes:
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $3,110 and $49,755, respectively, which represent an effective tax rate of 33% and 48%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax provision/(benefit) of $2,052 and $(1,445), respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 47% and 2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is greater than the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of an income tax provision resulting from stock compensation pursuant to ASU 2016-09 offset in part by the non-taxability of income subject to U.S. tonnage tax. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is less than the statutory rate primarily as a result of non-deductible professional fees in 2016 in preparation of the separation of the domestic and international business units.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital:
Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully implement our strategy is dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business to meet near-term and long-term debt repayment obligations is dependent on maintaining sufficient liquidity.
Liquidity
Working capital at September 30, 2017 was approximately $139,000 compared with approximately $181,000 at December 31, 2016. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to the reclassification of $71,554 of long-term debt to short-term at September 30, 2017 offset by increases to working capital as a result of a reduction in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to payments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily related to the SEC settlement and the payout of the 2016 annual incentive plan. Current assets are highly liquid, consisting principally of cash, interest-bearing deposits and receivables. The Company’s total cash (including restricted cash) decreased by $3,348 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease is related to timing of accounts receivable collections and accounts payable payments at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016.
As of September 30, 2017, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis of $278,585, comprised of $203,585 of cash (including $3,856 of restricted cash) and $75,000 of undrawn revolver capacity. We manage our cash in accordance with our intercompany cash management system subject to the requirements of our Exit Financing Facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents, as well as our restricted cash balances, generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We place our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies.
As of September 30, 2017, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) of $491,652 and a total debt to total capitalization of 65.5%, compared to 67.4% at December 31, 2016.
The 8.125% unsecured notes will mature on March 30, 2018. To remain in compliance with the OBS ABL Facility, the Company’s current plan is to pay off or refinance the outstanding balance on its 8.125% unsecured notes by December 29, 2017.
Restricted cash as of September 30, 2017 is related to the Unsecured Senior Notes.
Sources, Uses and Management of Capital
We generate significant cash flows through our complementary mix of time charters, voyage charters and contracts of affreightment. Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $36,840. In addition to operating cash flows, our other sources of funds may include additional borrowings as permitted under the Exit Financing Facilities, proceeds from issuances of equity securities and proceeds from the opportunistic sales of our vessels. In the past we also have been able to obtain funds from the issuance of long-term debt securities. We may in the future complete transactions consistent with achieving the objectives of our business plan.
We use capital to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with U.S. and international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, repay or repurchase our outstanding debt and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. The OBS Term Loan requires that a portion of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the term loan agreement) be used to prepay the outstanding principal balance of such loan. To the extent permitted under the terms of the Exit

29


 OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Financing Facilities we may also use cash generated by operations to finance capital expenditures to modernize and grow our fleet. 
We did not repurchase any shares of our stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Under an October 2015 Board resolution, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $200,000 worth of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and warrants. The remaining buyback authorization as of September 30, 2017 was approximately $77,025.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased and retired $18,454 and $39,115, respectively, of our 2018 Notes.
The Parent Company’s ability to receive cash dividends, loans or advances from OBS is restricted under the OBS Term Loan. After dividend distributions to the Parent Company of $50,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, the Available Amount for additional cash dividends, loans or advances to the Parent Company permitted under the OBS Term Loan was $43,592 as of September 30, 2017.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
INSW entered into guarantee arrangements in connection with the spin-off on November 30, 2016, in favor of Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (2) (“LNG Charterer”) and relating to certain LNG Tanker Time Charter Party Agreements with the LNG Charterer and each of Overseas LNG H1 Corporation, Overseas LNG H2 Corporation, Overseas LNG S1 Corporation and Overseas LNG S2 Corporation (such agreements, the “LNG Charter Party Agreements,” and such guarantees, collectively, the “LNG Performance Guarantees”).
OSG continues to provide a guarantee in favor of the LNG Charterer relating to the LNG Charter Party Agreements (such guarantees, the ‘‘OSG LNG Performance Guarantee’’). INSW will indemnify OSG for liabilities arising from the OSG LNG Performance Guarantees pursuant to the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. In connection with the OSG LNG Performance Guarantees, INSW will pay a $125 fee per year to OSG, which is subject to escalation after 2017 and will be terminated if OSG ceases to provide the OSG LNG Performance Guarantee.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.         Legal Proceedings
We are party to lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. In management's opinion, there is no known pending litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Item 1A.         Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports. The risks described in our 2016 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K, except for the following:
We store, process, maintain, and transmit confidential information through information technology systems. Cybersecurity issues, such as security breaches and computer viruses, affecting our information technology systems or those of our third party vendors, could disrupt our business, result in the unintended disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs, and cause losses.
We collect, store and transmit sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and that of our clients, and personally identifiable information of our clients and employees, using both our information technology systems and those of third party vendors. The secure storage, processing, maintenance, and transmission of this information is critical to our operations. Our network, or those of our clients or third party vendors, could be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, and other security problems. Many companies have increasingly reported breaches in the security of their websites or other systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and targeted attacks intended to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disrupt or degrade service, sabotage systems or cause other damage.
We may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches and computer viruses, or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches or viruses. Security breaches and viruses could expose us to claims, litigation and other possible liabilities. Any inability to prevent security breaches (including the inability of our third party vendors to prevent security breaches) could also cause existing clients to lose confidence in our systems and could adversely affect our reputation, cause losses to us or our clients, damage our brand, and increase our costs.
Item 2.         Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
See Note 11, “Capital Stock and Stock Compensation,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of Class A and Class B warrants exercised in exchange for Class A and Class B common stock, which is incorporated by reference in this Part II, Item 2.
On October 20, 2015, the Board approved a resolution authorizing us to repurchase up to $200,000 worth of shares of our Class A and Class B common stock and warrants from time to time over a 24-month period ending October 2017, on the open market or otherwise, in such quantities, at such prices, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as management determines is in our best interests. Shares owned by employees and directors are not eligible for repurchase under this program. There were no purchases made pursuant to the authorized buyback program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The remaining buyback authorization as of September 30, 2017 was approximately $77,025.
