AMENDMENT NO. 16 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13D (this Sixteenth Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on April 17, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on June 25, 2008, Amendment No. 2 on August 28, 2008, Amendment No. 3 on September 29, 2008, Amendment No. 4 on December 30, 2008, Amendment No. 5 on July 2, 2009, Amendment No. 6 on December 3, 2009, Amendment No. 7 on September 13, 2010, Amendment No. 8 on May 17, 2011, Amendment No. 9 on March 23, 2012, Amendment No. 10 on January 10, 2014, Amendment No. 11 on January 14, 2015, Amendment No. 12 on May 5, 2015, Amendment No. 13 on August 28, 2015, Amendment No. 14 on April 13, 2016, and Amendment No. 15 on July 12, 2016 (collectively, the Schedule 13D). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

This Sixteenth Amendment is being filed to make updates and amendments to the Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 1. Security and Issuer

There are no changes to the Item 1 information previously filed.

Item 2. Identity and Background

There are no changes to the Item 2 information previously filed.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:

On November 4, 2016, Dalea Partners acquired an aggregate 42,000 shares of Issuers newly designated 12.0% Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference of $50 per share (the Series A Preferred Shares). Of the 42,000 Series A Preferred Shares, (i) 41,000 shares were issued to Dalea Partners in exchange for the $2,050,000.00 aggregate principal amount of the Dalea Notes exchanged by Dalea Partners in connection with Issuers private placement exchange offer (the Exchange Offer) to certain holders of the Issuers 13.0% convertible notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes), at an exchange rate of 20 Series A Preferred Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes, and (ii) 1,000 shares were purchased by Dalea Partners with cash on hand at an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in connection with Issuers private placement (the Private Offering) to certain holders of the 2017 Notes of Series A Preferred Shares at a price of $50 per share. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Shares (the Certificate of Designations) each Series A Preferred Share is may be converted at any time (upon approval of listing of the common shares issuable upon such conversion on the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange), at the option of the holder, into 45.754 shares of Issuers common shares (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.0928 per common share and is subject to customary adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other fundamental changes). Dalea Partners 42,000 Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 1,921,668 shares of Issuers common shares.


On November 4, 2016, Pinon Foundation acquired an aggregate 205,000 shares of Issuers Series A Preferred Shares. Of the 205,000 Series A Preferred Shares, (i) 200,000 shares where issued to Pinon Foundation in exchange for the $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Pinon Note exchanged by Pinon Foundation in connection with the Exchange Offer and (ii) 5,000 shares were purchased by Pinon Foundation with cash on hand at an aggregate purchase price of $250,000 in connection with the Private Offering. Pinon Foundations 205,000 Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 9,379,570 shares of Issuers common shares.

Section 11(k) of the Certificate of Designations provides for a limitation of conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares held by Dalea Partners and/or Pinon Foundation to the extent that such conversion would cause Mitchell, his affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as group together with Mitchell or any of his affiliates to beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the number of Issuers common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the common shares issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares (the Mitchell Beneficial Ownership Cap). The Mitchell Beneficial Ownership Cap may be increased or decreased by Mitchell upon 61 days prior written notice to Issuer.

On October 31, 2016, Issuer and ANBE Holdings entered into an amendment (the ANBE Note Amendment) of convertible note pursuant to which the maturity date of the ANBE Note was further extended from October 31, 2016 to August 31, 2017. The ABNE Note Amendment provides for the ANBE Note to be repaid in four quarterly installments of $0.9 million each in December 2016 and March, June and September 2017 and provides for monthly payments of interest. In addition, pursuant to the ANBE Amendment, the Issuer would be required to repay the ANBE Note in full within 5 business days of the closing of Issuers proposed sale of Thrace Basin Natural Gas (Turkiye) Corporation.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, during the period ending on November 4, 2017, the conversion rate for the Series A Preferred Shares will be adjusted on an economic weighted average anti-dilution basis for the issuance of Issuers common shares for cash at a price below the conversion price then in effect. Such anti-dilution protection shall exclude (i) dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares in common shares, (ii) issuances of common shares in connection with acquisitions, (iii) issuances of common shares under currently outstanding convertible notes and warrants and (iv) issuances of common shares in connection with employee compensation arrangements and employee benefit plans.

If not converted sooner, on November 4, 2024, Issuer is required to redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares in cash at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At any time on or after November 4, 2020, Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares at the redemption prices listed below (expressed as a percentage of the liquidation preference amount per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption, if the closing sale price of the Issuers common


shares equals or exceeds 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 10 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 20 consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of such 20 trading day period, ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the business day on which Issuer issues a notice of optional redemption. The redemption prices for the 12-month period starting on the date below are:

 

Period Commencing

   Redemption Price  

November 4, 2020

     105.000

November 4, 2021

     103.000

November 4, 2022

     101.000

November 4, 2023 and thereafter

     100.000

Additionally, upon the occurrence of a change of control, Issuer is required to offer to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, for cash at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are payable quarterly at the election of the Issuer in cash, Issuers common shares or a combination of cash and Issuers common shares at an annual dividend rate of 12.0% of the liquidation preference if paid all in cash or 16.0% of the liquidation preference if paid in Issuers common shares. If paid partially in cash and partially in common shares, the dividend rate on the cash portion shall be 12.0%, and the dividend rate on the common share portion shall be 16.0%. Dividends are payable quarterly, on June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of each year, beginning on December 31, 2016, with the dividend payable on December 31, 2016 being pro-rated for the period from November 4. 2016. The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares also shall be entitled to participate pro-rata in any dividends paid on the common shares on an as-converted-to Issuers common shares basis.

As of November 4, 2016, there were 921,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding, of which an aggregate 247,000 shares are held by Pinon Foundation and Dalea Partners, and deemed beneficially owned by Mitchell. The Certificate of Designation provides that, for so long as at least 400,000 Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares voting as a separate class shall have the right to elect two directors to Issuers Board of Directors. For so long as between 80,000 and 399,999 Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares voting as a separate class shall have the right to elect one director to Issuers Board of Directors. Upon less than 80,000 Series A Preferred Shares remaining outstanding, any directors elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall immediately resign from Issuers Board of Directors.


The Certificate of Designation also provides that without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, Issuer will not issue indebtedness for money borrowed or other securities which are senior to the Series A Preferred Shares in excess of the greater of (i) $100 million or (ii) 35% of Issuers PV-10 of proved reserves as disclosed in its most recent independent reserve report filed or furnished by the Issuer on EDGAR. In addition, until Issuers 2017 Notes are repaid in full, Issuer will not issue indebtedness for money borrowed (other than ordinary trade indebtedness and up to $30.0 million borrowed from DenizBank A.S.) unless the net proceeds thereof are used (i) to redeem, retire or repay the 2017 Notes, (ii) spud, drill or complete two designated wells, or (iii) used in connection with collateralization or guarantees with respect to the Issuers hedging efforts.

Issuer has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of certain shares of the Series A Preferred Shares and Issuers common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares prior to November 5, 2017 and have such shelf registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable after filing.
