This Amendment No. 3 (Amendment No. 3) amends and supplements the statements on Schedule
13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on October 3, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on March 3, 2016, as amended by amendment No. 2 to
the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on May 8, 2017 (as amended, the Original Schedule 13D), relating to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Common Stock) of Carbo Ceramics
Inc. (the Issuer). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Original 13D. The Original 13D is hereby amended as follows:
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
|
Item 3 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by
adding the following:
See Item 4.
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction
|
Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
As described in the Original 13D, on March 2, 2017, in connection with entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Issuer issued a Warrant to Wilks Brothers.
Subject to the terms of the Warrant, the Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase up to 523,022 shares of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $14.91 per share, payable in cash. The Warrant expires at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
December 31, 2022. Until receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the holder of the Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise the Warrant to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon such exercise, plus the number of
shares of Common Stock purchased on any prior exercise of the Warrant, exceeds 271,414 shares of Common Stock (which amount represents approximately 1% of the number of shares of Common Stock currently outstanding).
On May 16, 2017, the Issuer held its 2017 annual meeting of its stockholders, at which it sought the approval (the Stockholder Approval), by
an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast of the Common Stock, of the issuance of 523,022 shares of Common Stock to Wilks Brothers upon exercise of the Warrant. The New York Stock Exchange requires the approval of the
Issuers stockholders of the issuance of an amount of shares of the Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, that exceeds more than 1% of the Common Stock outstanding, to a stockholder of the Issuer who holds more than 5% of
the Common Stock outstanding before such issuance, such as Wilks Brothers. In accordance with Letter Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders have voted in favor of the Stockholder Approval. On May 19, 2017, the Issuer announced that it had
obtained the Stockholder Approval.
