This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the joint Schedule 13D filed on February 17, 2010 by Kenneth A. Hersh, Natural Gas Partners VII, L.P. and Resolute Holdings, LLC, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on February 23, 2011 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment is being filed in order to reflect a decrease in the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership resulting from the sale by Natural Gas Partners VII, L.P. (“NGP VII”) and NGP-VII Income Co-Investment Opportunities, L.P. (“NGP VII Co-Invest”) of an aggregate of 5,437,500 shares of common stock of Resolute Energy Corporation (the “Issuer”) in a secondary offering that closed on May 14, 2013 (the “Offering”). As a result of the Offering, this Amendment amends the information disclosed in the Original Schedule 13D as set forth herein. Except as provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
No modification is made to Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
No modification is made to Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
No modification is made to Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
The Reporting Persons, in the normal course of their business, intend to evaluate the optimal management of their holdings, which could include from time to time disposal of shares of Common Stock, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including based on perceived economic and stock market conditions.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The information in Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
The percent of class provided for each Reporting Person is based on the Issuer having 63,631,145 total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 8, 2013, as reported on the Prospectus Supplement plus each of the following (i) 13,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the Underwriters by the Issuer as described in the Prospectus Supplement and (ii) 6,933,333 shares of Common Stock as the result of the conversion of 2,333,333 Sponsor Warrants and 4,600,000 Founders’ Warrants convertible into Common Stock.
| (a)-(b) (i) | Kenneth A. Hersh does not directly own any Common Stock. Kenneth A. Hersh is an Authorized Member of GFW VII, L.L.C., the general partner of G.F.W. Energy VII, L.P., which is the general partner of NGP VII, and thus may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all shares of Common Stock that NGP VII is the sole record owner of (1,078,595 shares (1.4%)), as well as all shares of Common Stock that NGP VII may be deemed to beneficially own (49,790 shares (0.06%)) directly owned by NGP-VII Co-Invest and 8,333,472 shares (9.9%) deemed beneficially owned by Resolute Holdings). Therefore, Kenneth A. Hersh may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to 9,461,857 shares (11.3%) of Common Stock. |
| (ii) | NGP VII is the sole record owner of, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 1,078,595 shares (1.4%) of Common Stock. |
NGP VII owns 100% of NGP Income Management, L.L.C. which serves as the general partner of NGP-VII Income Co-Investment. NGP VII may thus be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by NGP-VII Co-Invest (49,790 shares (0.06%)).
NGP VII and NGP-VII Co-Invest have an approximately 66% membership interest in Resolute Holdings subject to certain adjustments in the future that could decrease such interest. Thus, NGP VII may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by Resolute Holdings (8,333,472 shares (9.9%)).
9
Therefore, NGP VII may be deemed to possess sole and shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to 9,461,857 shares (11.3%) of Common Stock.
| (iii) | Resolute Holdings is the sole record owner of, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 1,400,139 shares (1.7%) of Common Stock. Forfeiture provisions with respect to 1,400,039 of the shares lapsed on February 2, 2011. |
Resolute Holdings also directly owns 2,333,333 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) acquired in connection with the Acquisition. Each Sponsor Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $13.00 per share commencing on the date of the closing of the Acquisition and ending five years from the Acquisition Closing Date.
Resolute Holdings also directly owns 4,600,000 warrants (the “Founders’ Warrants”) issued in the Acquisition. Each Founders’ Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $13.00 per share. The warrant exercise period of the Founders’ Warrants commenced on January 7, 2011 and ends on September 25, 2014.
Thus, for purposes of this Schedule 13D, Resolute Holdings is deemed to directly beneficially own 8,333,472 shares (9.9%) of Common Stock.
The above Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interests therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
| (c) | Except as otherwise described herein with respect to the sale by NGP VII and NGP-VII Co-Invest of shares of Common Stock in the Offering, and to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in response to Paragraphs (a) and (b) above has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days. |
| (d) | No person other than the Reporting Persons or the managers of Resolute Holdings indentified on Schedule A, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock being reported on this Schedule 13D. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
No modification is made to Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
| Exhibit A | Joint Filing Agreement dated February 17, 2010 (filed as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D on February 17, 2010). |
