SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share, of Lilis Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer has its principal executive offices at 201 Main St., Suite 700, Fort Worth, TX 76102.

This Amendment No. 13 (“Amendment No. 13”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on May 8, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on July 14, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on August 12, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on November 17, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on January 8, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on February 2, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on October 16, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 28, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 29, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 10, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on January 13, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on February 18, 2020, and as amended by Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on February 20, 2020 (as so amended through this Amendment No. 13, the “Schedule 13D”).

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 13 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 13 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The filing of this Amendment No. 13 shall not be construed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a material change has occurred in the facts set forth in the Schedule 13D or that this Amendment No. 13 is required under Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act.

Item 2. Identity and Background

No change.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

No change.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

As previously disclosed, on January 10, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons submitted a preliminary non-binding offer (the “Non-Binding Offer”) to a special committee of the board of directors (the “Special Committee”) of the Issuer for the acquisition of all of the outstanding publicly held shares of common stock of the Issuer not already owned by the Reporting Persons in cash (the “Acquisition”). On February 15, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons received from the Special Committee a letter regarding the Non-Binding Offer and that included a request to extend the original Non-Binding Offer deadline. On February 17, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons sent the Special Committee a letter extending the original Non-Binding Offer deadline to February 27, 2020 (the “Extension to the Non-Binding Offer”).

On February 28, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons sent the Special Committee a second letter extending the original Non-Binding Offer deadline to March 18, 2020 (the “Second Extension to the Non-Binding Offer”).

The foregoing descriptions of the Non-Binding Offer, the Extension to the Non-Binding Offer, and the Second Extension to the Non-Binding Offer in this Amendment No. 13 are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Non-Binding Offer, the Extension to the Non-Binding Offer, and the Second Extension to the Non-Binding Offer, copies of which are incorporated by reference or attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, and C, respectively.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The last three paragraphs of each of Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following.

(a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own 49,291,099 shares of Common Stock, representing 40.4% of the outstanding shares.

The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned in connection with the Series E Preferred Stock is based upon an initial aggregate stated value of $60,000,000, plus $4,241,744 of dividends paid-in-kind, divided by the initial conversion price of $2.50, with respect to sole voting power. With respect to dispositive power, the Common Stock beneficially owned excludes 25,696,698 shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Reporting Persons may be entitled to shared dispositive power in connection with the Series E Preferred Stock.

The ownership percentage appearing on such cover pages has been calculated based on an aggregate total of 96,168,333 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 26, 2020, plus the 25,696,698 shares of Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest share beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in connection with the Series E Preferred Stock as of the date hereof.

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

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

The description of the Non-Binding Offer, the Extension to the Non-Binding Offer and the Second Extension to the Non-Binding Offer under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP No. 532403201    Page 21 of 21
