Tidewater, Inc.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On February 22, 2026, Tidewater Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement” and, together with the other related documents, the “Transaction Documents”) between Wilson Sons S.A., Ultranav International II, S.A. and Remolcadores Ultratug Limitada (collectively, the “Sellers”), Wilson, Sons Ultratug Participações S.A. and Atlantic Offshore Services S.A. (collectively, the “Target Companies”), and Pan Marine do Brasil Ltda., a company incorporated in Brazil and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Tidewater Marine International, Inc., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Tidewater Purchasers”), and the Company (together with the Tidewater Purchasers, the “Tidewater Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Tidewater Purchasers will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Target Companies. The assets currently owned by the Target Companies include 22 platform supply vessels (the “Vessels”). In exchange, the Tidewater Purchasers will pay the Sellers an aggregate cash purchase price of $500,000,000 on a debt free, cash free basis, subject to adjustments, including (without limitation) a reduction (net of cash) for the assumption of the Target Companies’ debt (the amount of which is to be determined upon completion but which was approximately $261 million as of September 30, 2025) (the “Purchase Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Transaction Documents (the “Transaction”). The Company guarantees the performance of the Tidewater Purchasers’ obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Tidewater Purchasers have also incepted certain warranty and indemnity insurance policies (collectively, the “W&I Insurance Policy”) in connection with the Transaction. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction (or, where permitted, waiver) of certain conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of the Brazilian antitrust authority (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica, or CADE), (ii) the consent of the lenders to the Target Companies’ group (the “Target Group”) to the change of control of the Target Group and the release of the parent company guarantees in respect of the Target Group’s indebtedness currently issued by the Sellers and their affiliates, (iii) the absence of any final and non-appealable order from an applicable governmental body that makes the consummation of the Transaction illegal or prohibits the Transaction, (iv) the Sellers and the Target Companies not being in material violation of specified obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, (v) the accuracy in all material respects of fundamental warranties of the Sellers and the Target Companies, (vi) the repayment by the Target Group (or waiver in certain circumstances) of certain loans from the Sellers resulting in the release of the Target Companies from any liabilities in respect thereof, (vii) the Target Group having $10 million in freely available and immediately accessible cash and cash equivalents at completion, (viii) the delivery of certain financial statements to the Tidewater Parties to allow the Company to satisfy its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and (ix) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect as defined under the Transaction Documents. The Sale and Purchase Agreement contains certain customary warranties of the Tidewater Parties and the Sellers. The Sale and Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including, among others, covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct and operation of the Target Group during the period between the execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the completion of the Transaction, (ii) the separation and transitional arrangements with respect to services currently provided by the Sellers and their affiliates to the Target Group, (iii) the efforts and cooperation of the parties to cause the Transaction to be completed, including actions required in connection with the satisfaction of the conditions described above and (iv) the Sellers’ and Target Companies’ delivery of certain financial statements of the Target Group to the Tidewater Purchasers. The Tidewater Purchasers will be able to make claims for losses arising out of breaches of the warranties and tax covenant of the Sellers against the W&I Insurance Policy and (with respect to fundamental warranties, tax warranties and tax covenant claims only, and as second recourse after the W&I Insurance Policy) the Sellers, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Sale and Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including, among others: (i) the right of the parties to terminate by mutual consent, (ii) the right of the Tidewater Purchasers or the Sellers to terminate in the event of a final and non-appealable governmental order from an applicable governmental authority that makes the consummation of the Transaction illegal or prohibits the Transaction, subject to certain conditions, (iii) the right of the Tidewater Purchasers to terminate for any breach of any Fundamental Warranty (as defined in the Sale and Purchase Agreement), in any material respect, that has not been waived by the Tidewater Purchasers or cured by the Sellers, and (iv) the right of either the Sellers or the Tidewater Purchasers to terminate if all of the conditions to completion have not been satisfied (or, where permitted, waived) by 5:00 pm (London time) on December 31, 2026, subject to the terminating party having complied in all material respects with its obligations related to the satisfaction (or, where permitted, waiver) of the conditions. The Tidewater Purchasers must pay a break payment to the Sellers of $7.5 million in certain circumstances, as specified in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The foregoing description of the Sale and Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. The Sale and Purchase Agreement and the foregoing description thereof have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of such agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Target Companies or the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The warranties and covenants contained in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, any Transaction Documents and the exhibits thereto were or will be made only as of specified dates for the purposes of such agreement, were and will be (except as expressly set forth therein) solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating risk between the parties instead of establishing those matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and stockholders.
