DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment (“Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-278349) (including the reoffer prospectus contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) of Cool Company Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (the “Registrant”), previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024, registering (i) 180,828 common shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), that may be issued upon the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Cool Company Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements executed November 25, 2022 and November 30, 2023, (ii) 272,233 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of share options granted pursuant to the Cool Company Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan Option Agreement executed November 25, 2022 (the “2022 Option Agreement”), (iii) 890,945 Common Shares that may be issued upon the vesting and exercise of the share options granted pursuant to the 2022 Option Agreement and Long Term Incentive Plan Option Agreement executed on November 30, 2023) and (iv) 151,043 Common Shares reserved for future award grants under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan effective as of November 25, 2022.
The Post-Effective Amendment is also being filed to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold or otherwise unissued as of the date hereof under such Registration Statement.
On January 9, 2026, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 29, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, Bounty Ltd, a Liberian nonresident domestic corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of EPS Ventures Ltd., a company duly incorporated in the Marshall Islands (“EPS”) and solely for the purposes of the Guarantor Provisions (as defined in the Merger Agreement), EPS, with Apex Merger Sub Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of EPS (“Merger Sub”) acceding to the Merger Agreement on October 15, 2025, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of EPS (the “Merger”).
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant is terminating all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and deregistering all Common Shares registered but unsold as of the effective time of the Merger under the Registration Statement, if any. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Common Shares that had been registered for issuance under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant removes from registration any and all such Common Shares registered but unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment. The Registration Statement is amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such Common Shares as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment and the Registrant terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
