Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 19, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CT Energy Holding SRL (the “Investor”), Venezuelan-Italian consortium organized as a Barbados Society with Restricted Liability, under which the Investor purchased certain securities of the Company and acquired certain governance rights, as further described in this Form 8-K. Certain aspects of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders.

Purchase Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Company issued and sold the following securities to the Investor:

 

    Non-Convertible Note. A five-year, 15.0% non-convertible senior secured note in the aggregate principal amount of $25.225 million (the “Non-Convertible Note”).

 

    Convertible Note. A five-year, 9.0% convertible senior secured note in the aggregate principal amount of $6.975 million (the “Convertible Note”), which is immediately convertible into 8,506,097 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”), at an initial conversion price of $0.82 per share. The Company also issued 69.75 shares of its newly created Series C preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Shares”), which provide the Investor with voting rights equivalent to the common stock underlying the unconverted portion of the Convertible Note.

 

    Additional Draw Note. A 15% non-convertible senior secured note, under which the Investor may elect to provide $2 million of additional funds to the Company per month for up to six months following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (up to $12 million in aggregate) (the “Additional Draw Note,” together with the Non-Convertible Note and the Convertible Note, the “Notes”).

 

    Warrant. A warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for 34,070,820 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.25 per share, which may not be exercised until the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over any 30-day period equals or exceeds $2.50 per share (the “Stock Appreciation Date”), and the full exercisability of which is subject to approval of the Stockholder Proposals (as defined below in “Purchase Agreement—Other Material Terms”).

The securities issued and sold to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement are further described below in the section titled “Securities.”

Use of Proceeds

Under the Purchase Agreement, proceeds of the Notes and the Warrant, if and when exercised, will be used to pay off the Company’s existing debt and for general corporate purposes. On the Closing Date, the Company paid off its $50,000 unsecured note in favor of James A. Edmiston, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and its $1.3 million unsecured note in


favor of CT Energia Holding, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Malta that is controlled by affiliates of the Investor (“CT Energia”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay off its $7.6 million promissory note in favor of Petroandina Resources Corporation N.V.

Governance Rights

On the Closing Date the Company also granted certain governance rights to the Investor, including the following:

 

    Company Board Representation. The Investor has the right to appoint three members to the Company’s board of directors, at least one of whom must be independent. On the Closing Date, the Company’s board of directors approved the appointment of the Investor’s initial designees, Mr. Oswaldo Cisneros, Mr. Francisco D’Agostino and Mr. Edgard Leal, as board members. The Company also agreed to include all three designees in the Company’s slate of directors for each meeting or consent solicitation at which the Company’s stockholders are asked to vote on the election of directors, to recommend that the Company’s stockholders elect such designees and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such designees to be elected.

 

    Company Board Approval Rights. Certain actions by the Company will require supermajority board approval, including, among other items, issuing additional securities, commencing bankruptcy proceedings, or making material investments in third parties, approving the Company’s annual budget and making certain personnel and compensation-related decisions. Certain other board actions, including, among other items, incurring additional debt that is subordinated to the Notes, will require the approval of at least one of the Investor’s non-independent designated directors.

 

    Petrodelta Board Representation. The Investor has the right to appoint the Company’s two designated members on the board of directors of Petrodelta S.A. (“Petrodelta”). At the direction of the Investor, the Company has agreed to cause Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Eduardo Pantin to be appointed to such positions.

 

    Petrodelta Management. Under the Management Agreement (as defined below in “Purchase Agreement—Management Agreement”), CT Energia will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Company’s Venezuelan operations, including management of the Company’s 20.4% investment in Petrodelta. The Company has also agreed to appoint Mr. Alessandro Bazzoni, the Chief Executive Officer of CT Energia, as the Director and General Manager – Venezuelan Operations.

The Investor’s governance rights terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the Claim Date (as defined below in “Purchase Agreement—Other Material Terms”) (but only if the Stock Appreciation Date has not occurred before the Claim Date), (ii) the date on which the Investor’s equity holdings in the Company fall below a specified threshold and (iii) the expiration of the Warrant.


Stockholder Approval

As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, the Company must prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement for its 2015 annual stockholder meeting that includes proposals to approve the (i) the issuance of common stock underlying the Convertible Note and the Warrant in excess of 20% (pre-transaction) of the total the total outstanding voting power of the Company (the “NYSE Cap”), for purposes of Section 312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) Listed Company Manual, (ii) an amendment the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, and (iii) certain preemptive rights for the Investor (collectively, the “Stockholder Proposals”). The Company has agreed to hold its 2015 annual meeting of stockholders as promptly as practicable after the proxy statement has been cleared by the SEC and in any event no later than August 31, 2015 and to recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve the Stockholder Proposals.

If the Stockholder Proposals are not approved by a majority of the holders of common stock voting at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company is required to call successive stockholder meetings at least once every six months to obtain the approval of the Stockholder Proposals by a majority of the holders of common stock voting at such meeting and to prepare and deliver a proxy statement to the Company’s stockholders at least 45 days in advance of each such stockholders’ meeting. The date when the Stockholder Proposals are approved is referred to as the “Stockholder Approval Date.”

Until the Stockholder Approval Date, the Investor may not convert the Convertible Note or exercise the Warrant into shares of common stock, in each case to the extent that the issuance of shares of common stock by the Company upon such conversion or exercise, when aggregated with the issuance of all other shares previously issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note or exercise of the Warrant, exceeds the NYSE Cap. If the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Stockholder Proposals at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, the Investor will have the right to accelerate full repayment of the Notes upon 60 days’ notice. On the date that the Notes become payable, the Warrant and the Investor’s governance rights will terminate, as will the Management Agreement.

Other Material Terms

Until the Claim Date, the Company has agreed not to file a claim against the Government of Venezuela relating to the interests of the Company or its subsidiaries in Petrodelta. The “Claim Date” means the business day following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that the Investor may elect to extend the Claim Date up to six months by lending additional funds under the Additional Draw Note.

Until the Stock Appreciation Date, the Company and the Investor have agreed not to take any action that would constitute a “change of control” under certain Company contracts. The Investor also agreed to certain standstill provisions, including restrictions on acquiring the securities of, proposing a merger with, or soliciting proxies or consents from the stockholders of the Company, its subsidiaries, or Petrodelta. The standstill provisions will apply until the earliest to occur of (i) the Claim Date, (ii) the Stock Appreciation Date and (iii) the date on which the Investor’s equity holdings in the Company fall below a specified threshold. The standstill provisions will also terminate 60 days after the Investor elects to accelerate full repayment of the Notes.


The Investor has preemptive rights to participate pro rata in future debt and equity financings up to 19.9% (pre-transaction) of the Company’s outstanding voting stock before the Stockholder Approval Date and up to 49.90% (post-transaction) thereafter. After the Stockholder Approval Date, the Investor is also entitled to purchase common stock in the open market sufficient to reach 49.90% ownership, provided that the Investor has fully converted the Convertible Note and fully exercised the Warrant prior to making the purchases.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. These representations, warranties and covenants were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the Investor, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company, the Investor or their subsidiaries or affiliates.

Securities

Notes

Each of the Notes matures on June 19, 2020, and interest on the Notes is payable quarterly. On the Claim Date, if the Stock Appreciation Date has not yet occurred, the maturity date of the Notes will be extended by two years and the interest rates on the Notes will adjust to 8.0%. The Notes include customary events of default, which include payment defaults and covenant breaches under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement restricts transfer of the Notes or any portion thereof to non-affiliates of the Investor without prior approval of the Company’s board of directors.

The Company may prepay the Non-Convertible Note and Additional Draw Note at any time, subject to a two-year “make-whole” payment.

The Company may prepay the Convertible Note at any time after the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Convertible Note contains customary anti-dilution provisions as well as anti-dilution provisions that will reduce the conversion price to any lower price at which the Company issues common stock, subject to certain exceptions. On the Closing Date, the Company, Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. (UK), Harvest (US) Holdings, Inc., and Harvest Offshore China Company (the three preceding entities, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into a security agreement in favor of the Investor, under which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the Notes. The Company and the


Subsidiary Guarantors also executed a guaranty agreement in favor of the Investor, under which the Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and Notes.

Warrant

The Warrant is exercisable beginning on the Stock Appreciation Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Warrant contains customary anti-dilution provisions. At the Investor’s election, the Warrant may be exercised (i) for cash or (ii) by effecting a reduction in the principal amount of the Non-Convertible Note, in which the case the exercise price of the Warrant will be adjusted to give the Investor the benefit of the “make-whole” premium in the Non-Convertible Note. Until the Stockholder Approval Date, the conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrant are subject to the limitations described above. The Purchase Agreement restricts transfer of the Warrant or any portion thereof to non-affiliates of the Investor without prior approval of the Company’s board of directors.

Series C Shares

The Company issued 69.75 Series C Shares to the Investor, which Series C Shares provide the Investor with voting rights equivalent to the common stock underlying the unconverted portion of the Convertible Note.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Company and the Investor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), under which the Investor has customary “demand” rights to cause the Company to register the Notes and the common stock underlying the Convertible Note and the Warrant. The Company also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to register the same securities on a shelf registration statement, and to effect shelf takedowns of such securities, subject to certain conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement will remain in effect so long as the Warrant, the Notes and the common stock underlying the Convertible Note and the Warrant remain outstanding.

Management Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Company and CT Energia entered into a Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”), under which CT Energia and its representatives will manage the day-to-day operations of the Company’s business as it relates to Petrodelta and Venezuela generally. The Company agreed to cause its majority-owned subsidiary, HNR Finance B.V. (“HNR Finance”), to approve the Management Agreement as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Under the Management Agreement, CT Energia will represent and promote the interests of HNR Finance. In addition, under the Management Agreement and as agreed by the Company, Mr. Alessandro Bazzoni will serve as Director and General Manager – Venezuelan Operations for the Company, and the employees and independent contractors of HNR Finance and Harvest-Vinccler, S.C.A., the immediate parent company of HNR Finance, who are primarily dedicated to or engaged in the Company’s Venezuelan operations will report directly to Mr. Bazzoni. CT Energia’s representatives, including Mr. Bazzoni, will report to and act


under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in performing services under the Management Agreement. If the Stock Appreciation Date occurs before the Claim Date, the parties to the Management Agreement will negotiate in good faith and agree to a new management agreement containing substantially similar operating and management responsibilities, subject to review and approval by the Company’s board of directors. Otherwise, the Management Agreement will terminate on the Claim Date unless it terminates earlier according to its terms.

Investor Voting Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Investor entered into a voting agreement with the Company (the “Investor Voting Agreement”), under which the Investor agreed that, if the Stock Appreciation Date has not occurred before the Claim Date, then beginning on the Claim Date, it will vote for all directors nominated by the Company’s board of directors, and against those not so nominated, at subsequent stockholder meetings until the earliest to occur of (i) the Stock Appreciation Date and (ii) the date on which Investor’s equity holdings in the Company fall below a specified threshold.
