This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”) of OMNI Energy Services Corp., a Louisiana corporation (the “Issuer”), into which the Issuer’s Series C 9% Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series C Stock”), is convertible and for which the warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) are exercisable, and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This Amendment is being filed to update certain information in Items 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person (as defined below) on May 27, 2005 (the “Original Statement”) . This Amendment amends the Original Statement as specifically set forth herein; reference is made to the Original Statement for information on the matters not specifically addressed in this Amendment. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Original Statement remains in full force and effect.

The Issuer has its principal executive offices at 4500 N.E. Evangeline Thruway, Carencro, LA 70520.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

On May 17, 2005, the Reporting Person, as trustee for the Dennis R. Sciotto Family Trust (the “Trust”), entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 17, 2005, by and between the Issuer and the holders of Series C Stock pursuant to which the Reporting Person indirectly acquired 2,660 shares of Series C Stock (convertible into 1,364,103 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock) and Warrants exercisable for 3,484,600 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

On August 29, 2005, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person indirectly acquired an additional 1,140 shares of Series C Stock (convertible into 584,615 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock) and Warrants exercisable for 1,493,400 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The Reporting Person personally financed the $3.8 million in consideration paid for the Series C Stock and the Warrants.

On February 13, 2008, the Reporting Person indirectly purchased 103 shares of Series C Stock (convertible into 52,820 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock) in a private transaction.

On August 27, 2008, the Reporting Person indirectly exercised Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 950,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $2.4 million in consideration personally financed by the Reporting Person.

Per the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as payment-in-kind dividends on the Series C Stock, the Reporting Person has indirectly received 657 shares of Series C Stock, which are convertible into 336,923 shares of Common Stock.

On May 6, 2010, the Reporting Person indirectly exercised Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,648,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock pursuant to their cashless exercise provisions resulting in the issuance of 1,186,547 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The exercise price of these Warrants was $1.95 per share.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The purpose of this Amendment is to report transactions that have occurred since the filing of the Original Statement on May 27, 2005. As a result of the transactions disclosed in Item 3 above, a material change has occurred in the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

In addition, on June 3, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Wellspring OMNI Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Wellspring OMNI Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), providing for the merger of Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”) as a subsidiary of Parent. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Person, as trustee of the Trust, entered into a Rollover Agreement (the “Rollover Agreement”) with Parent pursuant to which, among other things, immediately before but substantially contemporaneously with the effective time of the Merger, the Reporting Person has agreed to contribute, (i) to Parent, shares of Issuer’s Common Stock or Series C Stock beneficially owned by him having a value equal to $5.15 million in exchange for shares of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) at a price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to the price per share of Parent Common Stock paid by Wellspring Capital Partners IV, L.P. in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger


Agreement; and (ii) to a newly formed subsidiary of Parent (“Intermediate Sub”), Series C Stock having a value equal to $4.55 million in exchange for shares of preferred stock of Intermediate Sub (the “Intermediate Preferred Stock”). The shares exchanged for Parent Common Stock and Intermediate Preferred Stock are, in each case, in lieu of receiving the cash merger consideration of $2.75 per share (the Series C Stock being valued as though such stock was converted into Issuer Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger). The rollover contributions are subject to all conditions of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement having been satisfied or waived by Parent not later than the time of such contribution.

The Reporting Person has entered into a Voting Agreement with Parent (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which he has agreed to vote, and has given a proxy to Parent to vote, the shares of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned by him in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

The descriptions of the Rollover Agreement and Voting Agreement set forth in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Rollover Agreement and Voting Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5, respectively.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 5,537,881 shares of Common Stock as follows: 3,034,699 are owned indirectly, 25,597 shares are owned by his wife; 2,338,461 are issuable upon conversion of 4,560 shares of Series C Stock; 25,124 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options; and 114,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. This represents a 21.9% interest in the Issuer’s Common Stock.

(b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person has shared voting and shared dispositive power for 5,537,881 shares.

(c) Other than the transaction described in Item 3 and Item 4, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions during the past 60 days in the Common Stock, Series C Stock or Warrants.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, no person has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the power to direct the receipt of proceeds of the sale of the Common Stock, Series C Stock or Warrants owned by the Reporting Person.

(e) Not applicable.
