THE COMPANY THAT EXCAVATED THE TITANIC WRECKAGE OUT OF BANKRUPTCY
Apollo, Alta Fundamental Advisers, and PacBridge Capital Partners
A group of investors including Apollo Global Management, Alta Fundamental Advisers and PacBridge Capital Partners have received approval to buy a trove of Titanic artifacts and their bankrupt owner.
On October 18, a U.S. bankruptcy court judge for the middle district of Florida in Jacksonville approved the purchase of the artifacts and RMS Titanic for $19.5 million, bankruptcy filing documents show.
The artifacts include clothing, letters, cookware, coins, floor tiles, and part of the hull of the infamously wrecked ship, according to bankruptcy filings. Other than artifacts preserved by survivors of the shipwreck, the artifacts recovered by the bankrupt company are the only others to be recovered from the wreckage, the filings show.
The bankruptcy process was a lengthy one, with RMS Titanic’s parent company, Premier Exhibitions, initially filing Chapter 11 for bankruptcy protection on June 14, 2016, an announcement from Premier shows. Along the way, a consortium including the National Maritime Museum and the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland considered making a bid for the company, which would have forced an auction process, the bankruptcy filings show.
However, Judge Paul Glenn ruled in favor of the bidding procedures proposed by Premier Exhibitions on August 30, which stipulated that any potential buyers that were not the stalking horse bidder — which is the consortium led by Apollo, Alta and PacBridge — would have to pay at least $21.5 million for the company, according to the filings.
Ultimately, the investment group that included Apollo, Alta, PacBridge, and several wealthy individuals, prevailed, and now have court approval to buy RMS Titanic out of bankruptcy. A spokesperson for New York-based private equity firm Apollo declined to comment on the purchase. A spokesperson for New York-based investment advisory firm Alta Fundamental didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment. A spokesperson for Hong Kong-based PacBridge and RMS Titanic’s lead attorney didn't reply to emails seeking comment.

Possibly the only opportunity for individuals and institutions to bid on the iconic collection
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier Exhibitions (OTC: PRXIQ), Salvor-in-Possession of the Titanic wreck site, and currently in bankruptcy protection, has been authorized by the bankruptcy court to auction off all of its assets to a single buyer. Its primary asset is RMS Titanic, Inc., which owns a large collection of over 5,000 items salvaged from the Titanic's resting place on the ocean floor, in addition to an extensive collection of Titanic related intellectual property and exclusive salvage rights. There have been 8 dives from 1987 to 2010 where over 1,570 hours of video footage, including 260+ hours of 3D footage, and over 500,000 digital images have been recorded. Museum quality items in the collection include the iconic cherub from the Titanic's grand staircase and a unique and precious blue sapphire ring, among countless other priceless artifacts never previously available for sale.

Currently, a consortium of hedge funds, including Apollo Global Management, LLC, Alta Fundamental Advisors, LLC, and PacBridge Capital Partners (HK) Ltd. have submitted an offer to buy the company's assets for $19.5M, being treated as a bid floor. Unless a competing buyer steps forward, the company's assets, including the entire Titanic collection, will be sold to this group for its $19.5M bid. As per the bidding procedures, a new buyer needs to submit, by October 5, 2018 at 4:00 p.m., a qualifying preliminary bid of at least $21.5M to enter the auction.
The auction itself will be held on October 11, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. The Bid Procedures Order (Doc. 1201) may be found at this link: http://upshotservices.s3.amazonaws.com/files/497d5a77-fff2-49a9-98f0-c32110ea0410/bcc79c9f-4585-4c3e-9c76-6a86ab69c2e4.pdf
Please refer to the Bid Procedures Order, and not the summary contained herein, for specifics about the bid procedures and the auction.
This may be the only time in history that this unique collection, with an appraised value of over $200M, will be made available to public buyers. The appraisal is attached as Exhibit C to an earlier sale motion (Doc. 28) which may be found at this link: http://upshotservices.s3.amazonaws.com/files/497d5a77-fff2-49a9-98f0-c32110ea0410/43d57d45-c3db-4ae5-8234-0921d913eaf0.pdf
While the new owner of the collection will be subject to certain Covenants and Conditions, the new owners will have the right to use the artifacts and to exhibit them publicly. Though ideally it will remain a unified collection, it may be possible to sell certain parts of the collection in a future sale. And while parts of the collection have maintenance conditions attached, numerous institutions are eager to work with the buyer to help them meet those requirements. In addition, operating partners have expressed interest in working with a buyer to assume oversight of Premier's existing exhibition business.
Please refer to the Bid Procedures Order for details about the sale process. Listed below are some of the important bidding procedure requirements for potential bidders:
Dates: Deadline to submit a Qualified Bid is October 5(th) at 4 p.m.
The Auction will be October 11(th) at the Troutman Sanders law firm in Atlanta, GA starting at 10 a.m.

AJB Capital Calls on Leadership of Premier Exhibitions to Immediately Prioritize Monetization of Titanic Assets and Fulfill I...
(MM) (NASDAQ:PRXI)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Monday 28 March 2016
Click Here for more (MM) Charts.
The following is a statement from Adam Bradley of AJB Capital:
My firm, AJB Capital, is the holder of more than 5% of Premier Exhibitions (Symbol: PRXI). Below is a summary of a more detailed communication I am providing Premier’s leadership and is available on our Schedule 13D.
I am calling on Premier’s leadership to:
•Prioritize the immediate monetization of our Titanic artifacts and its exclusive Salvor-in-Possession rights of the wreck site.
•Fulfill its reporting requirements as a public company
I do not consider myself an activist investor and am not taking the stance of one here now. Our goal as a shareholder of Premier is to:
•Raise concerns
•Provide solutions
•Emphasize accountability
•Assist Premier’s leadership in restoring value
I am optimistic and expectant that Premier will respond positively to shareholder concerns and take advantage of the help I am offering.
Reporting Requirements:
The financial reporting by the company is late. There has been no quarterly or annual financial report to shareholders since the 10-Q for the period ending August 31, 2015 was filed. In my view, that is too long to go without reporting to shareholders. It appears to me that without shareholders holding leadership accountable, we will be kept in the dark.
Assets
Premier’s ownership of over 5,000 Titanic artifacts and status as Salvor-in-Possession of the Titanic wreck site are in my estimation the most valuable assets we possess. The most recent appraisal of these assets totaled $218,023,300. The current market value of our equity is approximately $3,300,000, with minimal debt according to the filings. Therefore, there is a very large disconnect between the appraised value and what the market expects the company to realize from them. With such a large and growing discrepancy between the two valuations, I believe it is prudent to analyze the prioritization and focus of Premier’s strategy to determine if it is the right one.
Strategy:
The strategic outlook provided by management listed stabilizing operations as management’s first priority. Judging by the financials, the operations are losing money and bleeding cash. Rather than focus resources on a turnaround of unprofitable exhibits, it may be best to end them and stop the bleeding. The locations where they are held, including midtown Manhattan, are highly desirable to many different tenants. This provides Premier an opportunity to unburden itself from expensive leases and disengage from the irrational practice of running an unprofitable exhibit to meet the lease obligations.
I want to reiterate my desire to work collaboratively with the company to unlock its value. I also want to emphasize that in my judgment the current path the company is on is not working and we all may be better off pursuing an alternate course of action. I am making myself available to Premier and urge them to take me up on the offer.
We are providing this statement for general informational purposes only. None of the information provided herein is intended to be relied upon as investment advice or any opinion or prediction as to the prices at which Premier’s securities may trade at any time.
