The shares of Common Stock reported herein are held for the account of the private investment funds and managed account described above (collectively, the “Funds”). The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own such shares in light of the Reporting Persons’ voting and investment powers with respect thereto. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such shares, and the inclusion of such securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership for any purpose.

(b) The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 1 40 East 45 Street, Floor 24, New York, NY 10017 .

(f) See Item 6 of the respective cover page of each Reporting Person.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Of the shares of Common Stock reported herein, 6,154,400 shares were acquired by the Funds in connection with the Issuer’s spin-off from Oil States International, Inc. The Reporting Persons acquired the remaining shares through the transactions reported in Item 5 below using working capital of the Funds.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons caused the Funds to acquire the shares reported herein for portfolio investment purposes. On September 29, 2014, the Issuer announced that following an assessment by its board of directors of structural alternatives for the Issuer, the board concluded that the Issuer would continue as a corporation (C-corp) and redomicile to Canada. The Issuer stated that the board considered, among other alternatives, a potential conversion to a real estate investment trust (REIT).

Since the announcement, the Reporting Persons have had conversations with the board and management of the Issuer, and expect to continue having such conversations. During these constructive conversations with the board, the Reporting Persons made the following suggestions as to what the Issuer should do:

  • the Issuer should take on leverage to make its capital structure more appropriate for a real estate company;
  • the Issuer should implement an aggressive program of returning capital to shareholders through a well-communicated dividend policy; and
  • the Issuer should replace the CEO, Bradley Dodson, who the Reporting Persons believe has lost the support and confidence of the Issuer’s shareholders.

The Reporting Persons expect to continue to discuss the Issuer’s structural alternatives and other matters related to the Issuer with directors and officers of the Issuer, other shareholders and third parties. These may include discussions regarding the Reporting Persons’ views on issues relating to the strategic direction undertaken by the Issuer and other matters of interest to stockholders generally.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including: (i) acquiring additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of the Common Stock or the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, engaging in proxy contests.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b) See Items 7-11 of the cover pages and Item 2 above.

The percentage calculations herein are based upon the statement in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2014, that there were 106,695,984 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of August 8, 2014.
