This
Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) on July 10,
2018, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the
Commission on September 11, 2018, the Amendment No. 2 thereto,
filed with the Commission on October 16, 2018 and the Amendment No.
3 thereto, filed with the Commission on December 26, 2018 (such
Schedule 13D as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”), by SK
Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“SK
Energy”), and Dr. Simon G. Kukes (“Kukes”), each a
“Reporting
Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons.”
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the
Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented in any respect, and the
disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D, other than as amended
herein are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3. Source of Amount of Funds or Other
Compensation
Item 3 is hereby amended and modified to include the following
(which shall be in addition to the information previously included
in the Schedule 13D):
On January 11, 2019, the Company sold a $15,000,000 Convertible
Promissory Note (the “January 2019
Convertible Note”) to SK
Energy. The January 2019 Convertible Note accrues interest monthly
at 8.5% per annum, which interest is payable on the maturity date
unless otherwise converted into common stock as described below.
The January 2019 Convertible Note and all accrued interest thereon
are convertible into shares of Common Stock, from time to time, at
the option of the holder thereof, at a conversion price equal to
$1.50 per share (the “Conversion
Price”). The conversion
of the January 2019 Convertible Note is subject to a 49.9%
conversion limitation for so long as SK Energy or any of its
affiliates holds such note, which prevents the conversion of any
portion thereof into Common Stock if such conversion would result
in SK Energy beneficially owning (as such term is defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended)(“Beneficially
Owning”) more than 49.9%
of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The
January 2019 Convertible Note is due and payable on January 11,
2022, but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The January
2019 Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of
default and, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amount
owed under the January 2019 Convertible Note accrues interest at
10% per annum.
On February 15, 2019, the Company and SK Energy, entered
into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Notes (the
“Amendment”) which amended
(i) the Convertible Promissory Note, in the principal amount of
$22,000,000, issued by the Company to SK Energy on August 1, 2018
(the “August 2018
Note”) and the other $1,600,000 in Convertible
Promissory Notes sold by the Company on August 1, 2018 (the
“Other
Notes”), (ii) the Convertible Promissory Note, in the
principal amount of $7,000,000, issued by the Company to SK Energy
on October 25, 2018 (the “October 2018 Note”), and
(iii) the January 2019
Note (together with the August 2018 Note and the October
2018 Note, the “Convertible Notes”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, each of the Convertible Notes and each
of the Other Notes was amended to remove the conversion limitation
that previously prevented SK Energy from converting any portion of
the Convertible Notes (or Other Notes) into common stock of the
Company if such conversion would have resulted in SK Energy
Beneficially Owning more than 49.9% of the Company’s Common
Stock.
Immediately
following the entry into the Amendment, on February 15, 2019, SK
Energy elected to convert (i) all $15,000,000 of the outstanding
principal and $125,729 of accrued interest under the January 2019
Note, at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, as set forth in the
January 2019 Note, into 10,083,819 shares of Common Stock, and (ii)
all $7,000,000 of the outstanding principal and $186,776 of accrued
interest under the October 2018 Note, at a conversion price of
$1.79 per share, as set forth in the October 2018 Note, into
4,014,959 shares of Common Stock, which shares represent
approximately 47.1% of the Company’s then outstanding
29,907,223 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock after
giving effect to the conversions.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

shares of Common Stock representing 80.3% of the 40,235,861 shares

the 40,235,861 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding
