This Amendment No. 9 to the statement on Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) on March 24, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Persons on April 5, 2016, Amendment No. 2 filed by the Reporting Persons on April 7, 2016, Amendment No. 3 filed by the Reporting Persons on May 16, 2016, Amendment No. 4 filed by the Reporting Persons on May 27, 2016, Amendment No. 5 filed by the Reporting Persons on June 6, 2016, Amendment No. 6 filed by the Reporting Persons on June 28, 2016, Amendment No. 7 filed by the Reporting Persons on July 25, 2016 and Amendment No. 8 filed by the Reporting Persons on August 29, 2016 (as amended, the Original Schedule 13D and, together with this Amendment No. 9, the Schedule 13D).

 

Item 1.      Security and Issuer

 

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $0.10 par value per share (the Common Stock) of Clayton Williams Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 6 Desta Drive, Suite 6500, Midland, Texas 79705-5510. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 9 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D.

11


 

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

The information set forth in Item 6 below is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5(a) of the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing the second and third paragraphs with the following:

 

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by AF IV Energy AIV B1, L.P. and AF IV (U), L.P., including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, represent approximately 20.2% and 8.3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, respectively. None of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other Purchaser represent 5.0% or more of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each of the Reporting Persons, as a result of the relationships described in Item 2, may be deemed to directly or indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants reported on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for such Reporting Person.

 

See also items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to, and Item 2 of, this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, that include 2,251,364 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The ownership percentages reported in this Schedule 13D are based on an aggregate of 17,245,636 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 13, 2017 as reported in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

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

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Support Agreement

 

On January 13, 2017, Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble Energy), Wild West Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Energy (Merger Sub), NBL Permian LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Energy (Merger Sub II), and the Issuer, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which Noble Energy will acquire the Issuer in exchange for a combination of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Noble Energy and cash. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Energy, and (ii) thereafter, the Issuer will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Energy.

 

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Noble Energy, the Issuer (solely for certain specified purposes), and the Purchasers entered into a support agreement (the Support Agreement) pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed, among other things, not to exercise or assert any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in connection with the Merger.  The Purchasers also have agreed, among other things, during the period from January 13, 2017 to and including the date of termination of the Merger Agreement, if any (the Applicable Period), to vote all of the shares of Common Stock and shares of preferred stock of the Issuer they beneficially own as of the record date of the special meeting held for the purpose of adopting the Merger Agreement (the Record Date)  (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any alternative proposal, and (iii) against any amendment of the Issuers certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other proposal or transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner delay, impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any outstanding class of capital stock of the Issuer. The Purchasers own approximately 35% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  At the effective time of the Merger, each Warrant will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, the same merger consideration payable with respect to the shares of Common Stock, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon a cashless exercise of such Warrant at such effective time. The Warrant Shares will not participate in any vote subject to the Support Agreement except to the extent that any Warrant Shares are issued to a Purchaser prior to the Record Date.

 

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 8 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

Support Agreement dated as of January 13, 2017 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the current report on Form 8-K of the Issuer filed on January 17, 2017).
