The Reporting Persons purchased the Common Stock of the Issuer based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were significantly undervalued. The purpose of the acquisitions of the Common Stock was for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business.


On September 13, 2019, Goff MCF and John C. Goff, through John C. Goff SEP IRA, acquired an aggregate of 18,421,052 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on September 17, 2019.

On September 13, 2019, Goff MCF and John C. Goff, through John C.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock Purchasers agreed that they would purchase an aggregate of 789,474 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, following the satisfaction of certain closing conditions specified therein. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred on September 17, 2019 (the “Closing”).

At the Closing:

 

  (i)

Goff MCF acquired 694,737 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and John C. Goff, through John C. Goff SEP IRA, acquired 94,737 shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

  (ii)

John C. Goff entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed, until the earlier of the date on which the Proposals are approved or six months from the Closing, to vote all of the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons at every meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer in favor of any proposal to (i) effect of an amendment to the Certificate of Formation of the Issuer to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by at least 50,000,000 shares (the “Certificate Proposal”) and (ii) if necessary, approve, in accordance with applicable law and stock exchange rules and regulations, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Proposal” and together with the Certificate Proposal, the “Proposals”); and

 

  (iii)

The Series A Preferred Stock Purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer whereby the Issuer has provided the Series A Preferred Stock Purchasers with certain registration rights with respect to the Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible.

The Reporting Persons acquired a substantial position in the Issuer with the intent to influence the Issuer’s management and operations. Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire additional shares or to dispose of the Common Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to securities laws, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of its investment, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, and/or other investment considerations.

Except as disclosed above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any other plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Proxy set forth in this Section 4 shall be revoked, terminated and of no further force or effect automatically without further action upon the termination of this Agreement.

Goff shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days after such acquisition) notify Contango of the number of Subject Shares acquired by Goff following the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date and the updated number of Subject Shares beneficially owned by Goff as of immediately following such acquisition.

6.    Representations and Warranties of Goff. Goff hereby represents and warrants to Contango as follows:

(a)    Power; Organization; Binding Agreement. Goff has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and his Proxy, to perform Goff’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Goff, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Contango, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Goff, enforceable against Goff in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(b)    No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery by Goff of this Agreement, the performance by Goff of his obligations hereunder or the consummation by Goff of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in a violation or breach of any agreement to which Goff is a party or by which Goff may be bound, including any voting agreement or voting trust or (ii) violate any applicable Law.

(c)    Ownership of Subject Shares. Goff (i) is the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares, all of which are free and clear of any Liens (except any Liens arising under securities Laws or Liens that are not material to Goff’s performance of his obligations under this Agreement) and (ii) no Person (other than Goff) has a right to acquire any of the Subject Shares held by Goff.

(d)    Voting Power. Goff has sole voting power, power of disposition, power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein, and power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Subject Shares, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable federal securities laws and those arising under the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Reliance by Contango. Goff understands and acknowledges that the Contango is entering into the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Goff’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(f)    Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Goff does not, and the performance by Goff of his obligations under this Agreement and the consummation by him of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, require Goff to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except in each case for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Goff or where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings and notifications, would not, either individually or in the aggregate, prevent or delay the performance by Goff of any of his obligations hereunder.

(g)    Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Goff, threatened against or affecting Goff or any of his Affiliates before or by any Governmental Entity that would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of Goff to perform his obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

7.    Certain Restrictions. Goff agrees that Goff will not (in Goff’s capacity as a shareholder of Contango) bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any legal action or proceeding, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Goff or the approval of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Charter Amendment, by the Board, breaches any fiduciary duty of the Board or any member thereof or (iii) would reasonably be expected to restrict or otherwise affect Goff’s legal power, authority and ability to comply with and perform the covenants and obligations of Goff under this Agreement.

8.    Shareholder Capacity. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is being entered into by Goff solely in his capacity as a beneficial owner of the Subject Shares, and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the ability of Goff, who is a director of Contango, to exercise his duties attendant to such position by taking any action whatsoever in such capacity, including with respect to the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement.

9.    Disclosure. Goff shall permit Contango to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Contango determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the Purchase Agreement and any transactions related thereto, Goff’s identity and ownership of Subject Shares and the nature of Goff’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.

10.    No Ownership Interest. Except as provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Contango any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Subject Shares. Except as provided in this Agreement, all rights, ownership and economic benefits relating to the Subject Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Goff.

11.    Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon request of Contango, Goff shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to fulfill Goff’s obligations under this Agreement.

12.    Termination. This Agreement and Goff’s Proxy, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder, shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing set forth in this Section 12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability, or otherwise limit the liability of any party hereto, for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

13.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Amendment or Supplement; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the parties in interest at the time of the amendment. At any time prior to the Expiration Date, any party may, to the extent permitted by and subject to applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any amendment, waiver, consent or modification of, or supplement to, this Agreement shall require approval of a majority of the members of the board of directors of Contango not affiliated with Goff.
