SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 8 (this Amendment) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 21, 2006 by BP EXCO Holdings II LP, BP
EXCO Holdings LP, BP EXCO Holdings GP, LLC and Thomas Boone Pickens, Jr., as amended by Amendment
No. 1 thereto filed March 10, 2006, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed June 19, 2007, Amendment No. 3
thereto filed June 26, 2007, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed July 6, 2007, Amendment No. 5 thereto
filed July 25, 2008, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed November 3, 2010 and Amendment No. 7 thereto
filed January 27, 2011 (collectively, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not defined
in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as
otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
Unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is amended as of the date hereof by adding the following at the end thereof:
On July 8, 2011, the Special Committee issued the press release attached to this Amendment as
Exhibit 8 and terminated its consideration of the Proposal. In light of the Special Committees
determination, Mr. Pickens is no longer considering or pursuing the Proposal.
Mr. Pickens expressly disclaims membership in any group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Act, including, but not limited to, with respect to any discussions he may have had
with regard to the Proposal.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b)
The respective percentages set forth below are based on 213,815,309 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of April 28, 2011, and 58,750 shares issuable upon exercise of options held by Mr.
Pickens to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Mr. Pickens has direct beneficial ownership of 10,641,850 shares of Common Stock, including
58,750 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by him upon exercise of stock options with 60
days. Such stock options were granted to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer or a
predecessor of the Issuer. Such 10,641,850 shares of Common Stock constitute approximately 4.98% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including the shares that may be acquired by Mr. Pickens
upon exercise of such options within 60 days. Mr. Pickens has sole power to vote or to direct the
vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, all such shares.
Page 3 - 5
Mr. Pickens expressly disclaims membership in any group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Act, including, but not limited to, with respect to any discussions he may have had
with regard to the Proposal.
(c)
Mr. Pickens has not effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the past 60
days.
(d)
No person other than Mr. Pickens has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt
of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the 10,641,850 shares of Common Stock reported
in paragraphs (a) and (b) as owned by him.
(e)
During the period beginning on July 29, 2010 and ending on April 28, 2011, the Issuer issued
additional shares of Common Stock in a series of transactions which diluted Mr. Pickenss
percentage ownership of the Common Stock then outstanding from approximately 5.00% (based on
212,654,604 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 29, 2010, and 53,750 shares issuable upon
exercise of options held by Mr. Pickens) to 4.98% (based on 213,815,309 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of April 28, 2011, and 58,750 shares issuable upon exercise of options held by Mr.
Pickens). As a result of this series of issuances, Mr. Pickens has ceased to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and accordingly, upon the filing
of this Amendment, Mr. Pickens shall no longer be subject to the reporting requirements of Section
13(d) of the Act with regard to the Common Stock.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
In all other respects, Item 6 remains unchanged.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits
Item 7 is amended as of the date hereof by adding the following at the end thereof:
Exhibit 8. Press Release, dated as of July 8, 2011, issued by the Issuer.
