The 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant are only deemed beneficially owned by Exxon Mobil Corporation, and not ExxonMobil Renewables LLC, because only Exxon Mobil Corporation, as the sole member of ExxonMobil Renewables LLC, has the power to control the exercisability of such warrant at its option.

 

(2)All calculations herein of the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned are based on a total of 42,327,827 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 14, 2022, as reported on the Form 10-Q.

 

 

 


Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on April 29, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, as amended on August 9, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1”), and, as further amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D or Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D. This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), having its principal executive office is 2790 Skypark Drive, Suite 105, Torrance, CA 90505.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

This Amendment amends and supplements Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D to add the following new paragraph after the second paragraph:

 

On February 28, 2023, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation, (“EMOC”) delivered a letter (the “Notice of Termination”) to Bakersfield Renewable Fuels LLC (“BRF”) and GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC, subsidiaries of the Issuer (“GCE”), providing written notice, effective as of July 1, 2023, of the irrevocable termination of the Product Off-Take Agreement, dated effective April 10, 2019, by and between GCE and EMOC (as amended, the “POA”), without any further action of EMOC, upon the failure of the renewable diesel facility located in Bakersfield, California commencing operations contemplated by the POA (the “Start Date”) by June 30, 2023. The POA entitles either party to the agreement to terminate the POA upon delivery of written notice to the other party if the Start Date does not occur by June 30, 2023 (the “Outside Start Date”).

 

The Start Date is and always has been critically important to EMOC and is a material term of the POA. All information known to EMOC points to the Start Date not occurring by the Outside Start Date. Therefore, EMOC has concluded that it is necessary to provide the Notice of Termination to BRF and GCE.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

This Amendment amends and supplements Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D to add the following paragraph to the end of Item 6:

 

Complaint Under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

 

On March 1, 2023, ExxonMobil Renewables LLC, in its capacity as a preferred stockholder of the Issuer, filed a complaint against the Issuer in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to compel inspection of the Issuer’s books and records under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to investigate concerns of misconduct and mismanagement by the Issuer’s management team.
