INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), this Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1, 2015, and amended by Amendment No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on January 8, 2016, June 30, 2016, and December 19, 2016, respectively (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 4 relates to the conversion of Series B 6% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) into common stock of Lilis Energy, Inc. (the “Issuer”), $0.0001 par value per share (“Shares”), of the Issuer, by Abraham Mirman, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Issuer.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Lilis Energy, Inc., (f/k/a Recovery Energy, Inc.) a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), and is being filed by Abraham Mirman (the “Reporting Person”) with respect to the Shares. The Shares are currently quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 300 E. Sonterra Blvd., Suite No. 1220, San Antonio, TX 78258, United States of America. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

  

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

Preferred Stock Conversion

 

On April 25, 2017, the Issuer entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, dated April 25, 2017 (the “Conversion Agreement”), with all of the holders of the Issuer’s outstanding Preferred Stock, including the Reporting Person (the “Series B Holders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Issuer and the Series B Holders mutually agreed that, immediately upon the effectiveness of the amended and restated Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Preferred Stock (the “A&R COD”), the Series B Holders will be deemed to have automatically converted all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by them into approximately 14.3 million shares of the Issuer’s Shares, pursuant to the terms of the A&R COD, such amount representing the number of Shares into which the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by the Series B Holders would be convertible pursuant to the terms of the A&R COD, with such conversion including an increase in the stated value of the Preferred Stock to reflect dividends that would have accrued through December 31, 2017. The Conversion Agreement contained customary representations and warranties by the Series B Holders and other agreements and obligations of the parties.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, the Reporting Person converted 1,650 shares of Preferred Stock he owned for 1,639,000 shares of Common Stock. Such shares of Preferred Stock were acquired by the Reporting Person for an aggregate purchase price of $1,650,000, of which $450,000 was borrowed funds. Subsequently, on May 3, 2017, the Reporting Person transferred 447,000 common shares underlying the Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 204,546 to the lender of the borrowed funds in lieu of a cash repayment pursuant to the terms of a borrowing arrangement.

(g) Changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person.
