EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 17 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 17”) relates to shares of Class A Common Shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”) of Seaspan Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 17 is being filed on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): Deep Water Holdings, LLC, The Roy Dennis Washington Revocable Living Trust created under Agreement dated November 16, 1987, including all subsequent amendments, modifications and restatements, Mr. Dennis R. Washington, The Kyle Roy Washington 1999 Trust II, The Kevin Lee Washington 1999 Trust II, the Kyle Roy Washington 2005 Irrevocable Trust created under agreement dated July 15, 2005, including all subsequent amendments, modifications and restatements, Copper Lion, Inc., and Mr. Kyle R. Washington.

This Amendment No. 17 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2009, as amended on May 15, 2009 and as subsequently amended on May 27, 2009, August 20, 2009, August 31, 2009, September 11, 2009, October 6, 2009, May 28, 2010, June 23, 2010, March 18, 2011, April 19, 2011, December 13, 2011, January 31, 2012, March 13, 2012, March 28, 2012, August 2, 2012, and August 23, 2012 (the “Schedule 13D”).

Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment No. 17, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified.

On December 27, 2012, the Issuer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Rights Agreement, dated April 19, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated January 27, 2012 (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). As further described below under Item 6, pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the Rights Agreement was amended to exclude Common Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Issuer’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”) from the trigger under the Rights Agreement applicable to the Reporting Persons and to simplify such Rights Agreement by eliminating exceptions to the 30% trigger and increasing such amount to 70%. In addition as further described below under Item 6, on December 27, 2012, the Issuer, the Reporting Persons and an additional party entered into an agreement (the “DRIP Agreement”) pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to participate in the DRIP with respect to any cash dividends paid on the Issuer’s Common Shares or Series A Shares through and for the quarter ending March 31, 2015.

Reference is made to the text of the Report on Form 8-A/A filed by the Issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 2012 (the “Form 8-A/A”) and to Amendment No. 2 filed by the Issuer as an exhibit to the Form 8-A/A. Amendment No. 2 as so filed by the Issuer is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the DRIP Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions herein of Amendment No. 2 and the DRIP Agreement are summaries only and qualified in their entirety by the specific terms of such documents.
