This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 19, 2014 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on September 4, 2014 ("Amendment No. 1") and Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on September 12, 2014 ("Amendment No. 2 and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 3, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the common shares, no par value (the "Common Shares"), of Bellatrix Exploration Ltd., a Canadian limited company (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 3 amends Items 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth below.

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

 

     
 

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

This Schedule 13D is filed by: (i) Orange Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Orange Capital"); (ii) Orange Capital Master I, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Orange Fund"); (iii) OC Offshore Investments II, SPC-Segregated Portfolio A, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("OC Offshore" and together with Orange Fund, the "OC Funds") and (iv) Daniel Lewis ("Mr. Lewis" and together with Orange Capital and each of the OC Funds, the "Reporting Persons"). The principal business address of Orange Capital and Mr. Lewis is 1370 Avenue of the Americas, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10019. The principal business address of each of the OC Funds is c/o Ogier Fiduciary Services (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9007, Cayman Islands. The principal business of Orange Capital is investment management. The Managing Member of Orange Capital is Mr. Lewis, who is primarily engaged in the business of investment management. The principal business of each of the OC Funds is to invest in securities. The name, citizenship, principal occupation and business address for each director and executive officer, as applicable, of Orange Capital, Orange Fund and OC Offshore is set forth on Appendix A hereto.

 

None of the Reporting Persons or persons listed on Appendix A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  

     

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

   
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
   
 
CUSIP No. 078314101SCHEDULE 13D/APage 7 of 11 Pages

 

 

The Reporting Persons used approximately $134,000,000 (CAD $146,000,000) (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the shares of Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

 

The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Shares reported herein is the working capital of the OC Funds. The shares of Common Shares reported herein are held in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
   
Paragraphs (a) – (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

 

(a) The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates is 17,495,013 shares of Common Shares, constituting approximately 9.2% of the Issuer's currently outstanding Common Shares. In addition, Walied Soliman ("Mr. Soliman"), a Partner at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP and counsel to Orange Capital, beneficially owns 20,000 shares of Common Shares, or less than 0.01% of the Issuer's currently outstanding Common Shares. The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Shares reported herein are based upon the 190,091,741 shares of Common Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2014, as reported in the Issuer's Report on Form 6-K for the month of August 2014, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2014.

 

(b) Orange Capital has shared voting power and shared dispositive power over the shares held by the OC Funds, by virtue of Orange Capital's role as the investment advisor to each of the OC Funds, and accordingly Orange Capital may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares. Mr. Lewis has shared voting power and shared dispositive power over the shares held by each of the OC Funds, by virtue of his role as Managing Member of Orange Capital, and accordingly Mr. Lewis may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares. Mr. Soliman has sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the shares of Common Shares beneficially owned by him. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Soliman, and Mr. Soliman expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.

 

(c) Appendix B hereto (which is incorporated by reference in this Item 5 as if restated in full herein) sets forth all transactions with respect to the Common Shares effected since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

 

 

Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   

Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto (the "Joint Filing Agreement"). A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Other than the Joint Filing Agreement, the Reporting Persons have no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with any persons with respect to securities of the Issuer.
