AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer on September 21, 2016 (the “Schedule 13D”). Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

The Reporting Persons have discussed with certain other stockholders of the Issuer the composition and size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the Directors expanding the Board from four directors to six directors, and, if the Board were so expanded, nominating two representatives of the stockholders to the Board, including a representative of the Reporting Persons (the “Board Expansion”).  On September 11, 2017, the Reporting Persons informed the Issuer that the Reporting Persons support the Board Expansion.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have present plans or proposals at this time that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities and accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions and develop plans or proposals at any time, as it deems appropriate.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

(a) — (b) The information requested by this paragraph is incorporated herein by reference to the information provided on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D.  On April 26, 2017, an aggregate of 10,837 shares of Common Stock that were previously held in escrow were released to the Reporting Persons.

 

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

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On September 12, 2016, the Reporting Persons entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer filed a shelf registration on Form S-1 (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by the Reporting Persons.  The Initial Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective on January 10, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). If eligible, the Issuer is permitted to amend the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in substitution for the Initial Shelf Registration Statement as initially filed.  The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the Commission, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of one year following Effective Date of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement (or three years if the Issuer is eligible to register the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on Form S-3 or is a Smaller Reporting Company eligible to incorporate by reference pursuant to Item 12(b) of Form S-1) (such date the “Initial Shelf Expiration Date”); and (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be Registrable Securities.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, at any time following the earlier of eighteen months following the Effective Date and the approval for listing of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, upon the demand of one or more Holders with respect to at least 20 percent of the Registrable Securities owned by all Holders as of the Effective Date, the Issuer is required to facilitate a “takedown” of Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering. Such a takedown is not required if there has been an underwritten offering following a triggering event within the 180 days preceding such request or if there have been more than three underwritten offerings of Registrable Securities in the preceding twelve months. After the Initial Shelf Expiration Date and for as long as Registrable Securities

remain outstanding (and have not been disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), the Issuer is required to use its reasonable best efforts to be eligible or maintain its eligibility to register Registrable Securities on Form S-3.  The description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit E to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

Exhibit E – Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2016, between Penn Virginia Corporation and the holders party thereto (1)

 


(1) Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.3 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 15, 2017
