Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

As part of the Reporting Persons’ process of reviewing their investment in the Issuer from time to time, BW Group has determined to cause Euroholdings to sell a portion of its holdings of Common Shares. The exact number of Common Shares that Euroholdings will sell has not been determined, and will depend upon, among other things, market conditions generally and for the Common Shares. BW Group presently expects, however, that, subject to market conditions generally and for the Common Shares, it will sell at least 550,000 Common Shares. In furtherance of this determination, Euroholdings has made the following sales of Common Shares:

· On June 26, 2019, Euroholdings sold 96,902 Common Shares at a weighted average price of $8.7149 per Common Share. These shares were sold in multiple open market transactions executed by a broker on Euroholdings’ behalf at prices ranging from $8.70 to $8.755; and

· On June 27, 2019, Euroholdings sold 325,615 Common Shares at a weighted average price of $8.8664 per Common Share. These shares were sold in multiple open market transactions executed by a broker on Euroholdings’ behalf at prices ranging from $8.77 to $8.995.

The Reporting Persons undertake to provide the SEC staff, upon request, all information regarding the number of Common Shares sold at each price within the ranges set forth above in this Item 4.

As the Reporting Persons have previously disclosed, the Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and in the future may, depending on the Issuer’s business, assets, operations, financial condition, prospects and other factors, decide to: (i) continue to sell a portion or the remainder of the Common Shares, options or other securities now beneficially owned or hereinafter acquired by them; (ii) purchase additional Common Shares, options or other securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (iii) propose one or more director nominees for the Issuer’s Board of Directors or take other actions with respect to the election of the Issuer’s directors; (iv) engage in discussions and negotiations or enter into other transactions with a view to combining BW LPG with the Issuer or otherwise obtaining direct or indirect control of the Issuer; (v) acquire assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries; and (vi) engage in such other proposals as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate under the circumstances, including plans or proposals which may relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This percentage is based on 55,167,708 Common Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2019, according to the 2019 10-K.

As of the date hereof, Euroholdings may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over, 7,403,943 Common Shares, which represents 13.4% of the total outstanding Common Shares.

As of the date hereof, BW LPG and LPG Holding may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over, 100 Common Shares, which represents 0.0% of the total outstanding Common Shares. This percentage is based on 55,167,708 Common Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2019, according to the 2019 10-K.

(c) Other than the sales of (i) 96,902 Common Shares by Euroholdings on June 26, 2019 and (ii) 325,615 Common Shares by Euroholdings on June 27, 2019, the details of which are set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference, no transactions in Common Shares were effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedule 1 hereto.

(d) No person, other than the Reporting Persons, is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 5.
