Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2022 (the “Original 13D”) by Mark Mey with respect to the common stock of Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Original 13D shall be amended and restated in its entirety.
The Original 13D inadvertently listed Mark Mey as the reporting person. The Reporting Persons in this Amendment No. 1 will replace Mark Mey.
| Item 1. | Security and Issuer. |
This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), of the Issuer. The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at Feathercraft Lane, Suite 450, Webster, TX 77598.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
(a), (b), (c) and (f). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed jointly by Transocean Inc. and Transocean Ltd. as separate persons and not as members of a group. See Exhibit D to this Amendment No. 1 for their Joint Filing Agreement.
Transocean Ltd.
Transocean Ltd. is a leading international provider of offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells. The principal address of Transocean Ltd. is Turmstrasse 30, 6312 Steinhausen, Switzerland.
Transocean Inc.
Transocean Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transocean Ltd.. The principal address of Transocean Inc. is 36c Dr. Roy’s Drive, Bermuda Houston, 4th Floor, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY-1003.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Other than the PIPE Shares, the shares of common stock reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to Transocean Inc. following the completion of the business combination on September 9, 2022 pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement,” and together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”) with CleanTech Acquisition Corp (“CLAQ”), CleanTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ (“Merger Sub”), and Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Texas corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between CLAQ and Nauticus was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Nauticus, with Nauticus surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ (the “Merger”). CLAQ was renamed “Nauticus Robotics, Inc.” and the previous Nauticus Robotics, Inc. was renamed “Nauticus Robotics (Texas), Inc.” As a result of the completion of the Business Combination, the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, dated December 7, 2020, by and between Transocean Inc. and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., was converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of such note, which was subsequently converted into the shares of common stock reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
4
At the effective time of the Business Combination, stock consideration was issued to the then current holders of common stock in Nauticus Robotics, Inc. in the form of common stock of Issuer.
The PIPE Shares were issued to Transocean Inc. pursuant to subscription agreements in connection with the Business Combination. The PIPE Shares were funded with Transocean Inc.’s cash on hand.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The information regarding the Business Combination set forth in Item 3 above is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.
Except as described in this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time, and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management of the Issuer with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer, or other persons.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
| (a) | As of the date hereof, Transocean Inc. directly holds 11,159,695 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, constituting approximately 19.97% of the 47,250,773 shares of common stock that were outstanding as of September 15, 2022 (and assuming the conversion of all 8,625,000 warrants, which were initially issued to public shareholders in connection with CLAQ’s initial public offering, into common stock in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)). Because Transocean Ltd. controls Transocean Inc., both Transocean Ltd. and Transocean Inc. are deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock held directly by Transocean Inc. |
5
| (b) | Transocean Ltd. and Transocean Inc. have shared voting and dispositive power over the shares of common stock held directly by Transocean Inc. |
| (c) | Other than as described herein, the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other individuals named in Item 2, have not effected any transactions in the shares of the Issuer’s common stock. |
| (d) | No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 3 and Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
