 Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

The class of equity security to which this statement relates is the Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of GeoResources, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office of the Issuer is 110 Cypress Station Drive, Suite 220, Houston, Texas  77090.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

This statement is being jointly filed by the following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): Collis P. Chandler, III, an individual, and Chandler Energy, LLC (“CEL”), a Colorado limited liability company.  The principal purpose of CEL is to be an investment entity for Mr. Chandler.  Mr. Chandler owns 100% of CEL and is its President (Manager of the LLC).

 

The principal business address of Collis P. Chandler and CEL is 475 17th Street, Suite 1210, Denver, Colorado 80202.  In addition to being the owner of 100% of CEL, on April 17, 2007, Mr. Chandler, as his present principal occupation and employment, became the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Northern Region, and a director of the Issuer.


Neither Mr. Chandler nor CEL has been convicted in a criminal proceeding in the last five years.  Mr. Chandler is a citizen of the United States.  CEL is a Colorado limited liability company.  


During the last five years, neither Mr. Chandler nor CEL has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.


On April 17, 2007, transactions contemplated by a Merger Agreement, dated September 14, 2006 and amended on February 16, 2007, were completed, in which Southern Bay Oil & Gas, L.P. (“Southern Bay”) and PICA Energy, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEL (“PICA”), were each respectively merged with two subsidiaries of the Issuer (the “Mergers”), which were formed for that purpose.  The Merger Agreement provided in substance for the mergers of the business of Southern Bay and CEL, each of which was an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, into these two subsidiaries.  To accomplish the merger of CEL’s business, CEL transferred all but a small portion of its business and assets to PICA on April 17, 2007, and PICA was immediately merged into the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chandler Acquisition, LLC.  


In the Mergers, the Issuer issued a total of 1,645,771 shares of Common Stock to CEL, consisting of  (a) 31,329 shares to CEL as a limited partner of Southern Bay, in exchange for 100% of CEL’s limited partnership interests in Southern Bay, and (b) 1,614,382 shares to CEL in exchange for 100% of CEL’s membership interests of PICA.  Of these 1,645,771 shares, 50,000 shares were granted to four CEL employees.


Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

The purpose of the transactions discussed in Item 3 above was to complete the Mergers.  The Mergers resulted in a change of control of the Issuer, and its board of directors and executive officers now include Mr. Chandler and several persons appointed by Southern Bay.  Other than the transactions discussed above, the reporting persons are not aware of any plans, or proposals or arrangements which may, at a future date, result in a change of control of the Issuer or any actions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 




CUSIP No.  372476 10 1

 

Page 5


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issued to CEL in its name in the Mergers was 1,595,711, or 10.9% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Issuer at the conclusion of the Mergers on April 17, 2007.  Because Mr. Chandler owns 100% of CEL, he may be deemed the beneficial owner of all of such shares.  In addition, in connection with the Mergers, on April 17, 2007 four employees of CEL received a total of 50,000 shares of Common Stock, amounting to an additional 0.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, as merger consideration.  Of these 50,000 shares, 25,000 are subject to additional vesting requirements and may be reallocated by CEL to CEL employees, including Mr. Chandler, in the event the shares do not vest.  The four employees of CEL entered into a Stock Grant and Shareholder Agreement (the “Shareholder Agreement”) among themselves and CEL.  Pursuant to the Shar eholder Agreement, the employees agreed to vote their shares in accordance with the directions of CEL until December 31, 2009.  The four employees have the right to sell the 25,000 shares in the aggregate that are fully vested but do not have the right to sell the 25,000 shares that are not fully vested.  Therefore, Mr. Chandler and CEL each beneficially own the shares subject to the Shareholder Agreement by virtue of their ability to vote the shares held by the four CEL employees, or, in total, 11.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.



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

 

In addition to the Shareholder Agreement discussed in Item 5 above, CEL entered into an agreement with Morrison Enterprises LLC (“Morrison”), under which Morrison agreed to extinguish a $2,000,000 principal note due from CEL in exchange for 250,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock that otherwise would have been issued to CEL on April 17.  In addition, CEL has agreed that, if the daily Nasdaq closing price of the Common Stock is not at least $8.00 for any period of 20 consecutive trading days from April 17 through December 31, 2007, then CEL will, on or before January 31, 2008, assign to Morrison additional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock according to the formula of 2,000,000/X minus 250,000, where X equals the average of the highest 20 consecutive trading days of Nasdaq quoted stock price during the period from April 17 to December 31, 2007.  Other than the foregoing, the reporting persons are not awa re of any contracts, agreements, understandings or relationships between them and any other persons with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer.

The total number of shares of Stock to be issued to Chandler is 1,645,711 and of that total, 50,000 shares of Stock will be issued to the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Shareholder represents and warrants that he or she has received a written disclosure from the Chandler setting forth the following:


(a)

For purposes of employee confidentiality, each Shareholder will be provided a copy of this Agreement and only his or her individual schedule, as described above. Chandler will maintain applicable records related to the sum total of the Shares included in this Agreement.        

(b)

While the Shares will be initially issued without registration or otherwise restricted, each Shareholder additionally agrees not to Transfer all or any portion of the Shares other than in accordance with this Section 2 unless and until:

(i)

The Shareholder gives prior written notice to Chandler;

(ii)

If reasonably requested by Chandler, such Shareholder will have furnished Chandler with reasonably satisfactory evidence, that (i) such Transfer will either be subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and (ii) the Transfer complies with all of GeoResources’ policies and procedures concerning the Transfer of Stock by employees, officers and directors of GeoResources.  It is agreed that Chandler will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances;

(iii)

The Shares are registered in accordance with federal and state securities regulations; and

(iv)

Notwithstanding the above, in no event may Discretionary Shares be Transferred until they are fully vested.

(c)

Each certificate representing the Shares will bear a legend containing the following words (in addition to any other legend required by law or applicable agreement):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE VOTING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO, AND THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 17, 2007, A COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICES OF CHANDLER ENERGY, LLC.

(d)

No Shareholder will approve or enter into any other transaction that could reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control unless such transaction has received the Board's prior written consent.

(e)

Any attempted Transfer not in strict accordance with this Section 2 shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever and the purported transferee shall have no rights as a shareholder of GeoResources.

(f)

Other than set forth above, and any rules or procedures applicable to employees, officers and directors of GeoResources and the Registration Rights Agreement executed by the Shareholders, there will be no restriction on the sale or transfer of the Shares other than Discretionary Shares.

(g)

The Shareholders agree to allow Chandler to hold all of the Discretionary Shares until they are vested.

Section 3.

Agreements Concerning Employment.

Each Shareholder hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement, in the event that the Shareholder ceases to be an employee of GeoResources (or any Affiliate) as a result of the resignation of that Shareholder or as a result of termination by GeoResources for Cause, the Shareholder will forfeit all Discretionary Shares that have not vested.  The Discretionary Shares will vest 50% as to each Shareholder upon closing of the Merger, and the remainder will vest 100% on the date of the first anniversary of the Merger.  Notwithstanding the above, Chandler is expressly authorized hereby to shorten or waive any vesting provisions, in its sole discretion.

(a)

To the extent that any Shareholder forfeits any Shares during the term hereof, all such Stock will be retained by Chandler and may be allocated by Chandler among the remaining Shareholders in whole or in part, in its sole discretion.

(b)

The Shareholders agree to deliver the certificates representing the Discretionary Shares, along with duly executed stock powers in blank, to Chandler, who will hold all of the Discretionary Shares in trust until the Discretionary Shares are vested in accordance with the terms hereof.  Chandler will be expressly required to return to the Shareholder any Shares that have properly vested hereunder.  Chandler will further be expressly authorized, pursuant to the stock power, to Transfer those shares of Discretionary Shares to those Persons, as it may determine, including any of the remaining Shareholders in the event of any forfeiture of Discretionary Shares pursuant to these provisions.

(c)

Upon the expiration of the restrictions set forth herein, Chandler will either deliver the certificates representing shares of Discretionary Shares to the Shareholders entitled to those certificates, and the Shareholders may present all of their certificates to the Transfer Agent of GeoResources to request the removal of the legend required by this Agreement, and GeoResources will use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the removal of the legend.  Notwithstanding the above, the Shareholders will remain subject to any restrictions on Transfer that are imposed by policy or rules and regulations of GeoResources in connection with employees, officers and directors of GeoResources.

Section 4.

Drag-Along Rights.  

(a)

If the Board approves a Change of Control transaction (an “Approved Sale”) for consideration in the form of cash or securities or a combination thereof, each Shareholder will consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale (including refraining from exercising any rights of appraisal) and will take all reasonably necessary actions in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder, director, member of any committee or officer of GeoResources or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the consummation of such Approved Sale.  If the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of stock, each Shareholder will agree to sell all of his, her or its Shares and rights to acquire Shares which are subject to such Approved Sale on the terms and conditions approved by the Board.

(b)

The obligations of the Shareholders with respect to any Approved Sale are subject to the condition that, upon the consummation of such Approved Sale, all of the Shareholders will receive the same form and amount of consideration per Share, or if any holders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all Shareholders will be given substantially the same option, provided, however, for this purpose, (i) any payments to an employee under a bona fide employment agreement for the provision of services as an employee will not constitute consideration for such Shares, and (ii) each Shareholder will sell the same percentage of Shares as the percentage of Stock being sold by the other shareholders of GeoResources and the Shares will be sold on at least as favorable terms upon which such Stock is being sold by the other shareholders of GeoResources.

(c)

No Shareholder will be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale (excluding expenditures for his, her or its own postage, copies, etc., and the fees and expenses of his, her or its own counsel retained by him, her or it).  Each Shareholder will be obligated to pay his, her or its pro rata share (on a fully-diluted basis) of the expenses incurred by the sellers in connection with such Transfer for the benefit of all Shareholders.  No Shareholder will be obligated to pay more than his, her or its pro rata share (excluding expenditures for his, her or its own postage, copies, etc., and the fees and expenses of his, her or its own counsel retained by him, her, or it) or reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benef it of all Shareholders and are not otherwise paid by GeoResources or the purchaser, it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Shareholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder, and provided that a Shareholder’s liability for his, her or its pro rata share of such allocated expenses will be limited to the total purchase price received in cash by the Shareholder for its or his Shares.  

(d)

Each Shareholder will be obligated to join on a pro rata but several (and not joint) basis (based on the number of Shares to be Transferred by such Shareholder) in any indemnification or other obligations that the Majority in Interest agree to provide in connection with such Approved Sale (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a Shareholder, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by a Shareholder regarding such Shareholder’s title to and ownership of Shares); provided that no Shareholder will be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless the transferees with respect to an amount in excess of the net cash proceeds and an amount equal to the fair market value (determined at the time of such Approved Sale) of the non-cash proceeds received by such Shareholder in respect of such Approved Sale.

(e)

If GeoResources or the other shareholders of GeoResources enter into any Approved Sale for which Rule 506 promulgated by the Commission (or any similar rule then in effect) may be available with respect to such Approved Sale, each Shareholder who is not an Accredited Investor (as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated by the Commission (or any similar rule then in effect)) will, at the request of the Board, appoint either a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated by the Commission (or any similar rule then in effect)) designated by GeoResources, in which event GeoResources will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, or another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to GeoResources), in which event such Shareholder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.

Section 5.

Voting Agreements.

(a)

Each Shareholder will vote all of such Shareholder’s Shares and will take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Shareholder’s control (whether in such Shareholder’s capacity as a Shareholder of GeoResources or otherwise, and including, without limitation, attendance at meetings, in person or by proxy, for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), in the same manner as directed by Chandler.

(b)

The obligations of the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 5 will include any shareholder vote to amend the Charter or the bylaws of GeoResources as required to effect the intent of this Section 5.  

Each of the Shareholders represents that he, she or it has not voted and is not a party to any proxy, voting agreement or similar arrangement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Section 5, and no Shareholder will hold any proxy or become party to any voting agreement or similar arrangement which is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions hereof.

Section 6.

Additional Shares of Stock.

In the event additional shares of Common Stock are issued by GeoResources to a Shareholder or any Affiliate of that Shareholder, at any time during the term of this Agreement, either directly or upon the exercise or exchange of securities of GeoResources exercisable for or exchangeable into shares of Stock, the Shareholder will cause such additional shares of Common Stock, as a condition to such issuance, to become subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement by requiring all persons to whom such shares are to be issued to enter into a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  

Section 7.

Termination.

The rights and obligations of each Shareholder and Chandler under this Agreement will terminate as to such Shareholder upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Transfer of all of the Shares owned by such Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (b) December 31, 2009.  Chandler reserves the right to waive any provisions hereof upon a Change of Control.

Section 8.

Severability; Governing Law; Specific Performance.

(a)

If any provision of this Agreement will be determined to be illegal and unenforceable by any court of law, the remaining provisions will be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(b)

This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws).

(c)

In addition to any other remedies that the Shareholders may have at law or in equity, the parties hereby acknowledge that the harm which might result to a Shareholder from breaches by Chandler or the Shareholders of their respective obligations under Section 5 cannot be adequately compensated by damages, and each of Chandler and the Shareholders accordingly agrees that each Shareholder and Chandler will have the right to have all obligations and undertakings set forth in Section 5 specifically performed by Chandler or the other Shareholders, as the case may be, and that Chandler or any Shareholder will have the right to obtain an order or decree of such specific performance in any of the courts of the United States of America or of any state or other political subdivision thereof.

Condition to Conversion:


That the common shareholders of GeoResources, Inc. present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of GeoResources, Inc. scheduled to be held March 29, 2007 (or any adjournments or postponements thereof) approve the issuance of common shares pursuant to the “Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 14, 2006 among GeoResources, Inc., Southern Bay Energy Acquisition, LLC, Chandler Acquisition, LLC, Southern Bay Oil & Gas, L.P., Chandler Energy, LLC and PICA Energy, LLC,” (the “Merger”).


Terms of Conversion:


·

The Effective Time of the conversion shall be immediately upon the closing of the Merger.  The actual Note shall be retained by Morrison pending receipt by Morrison of the GEOI Shares.

·

In the event that the daily NASDAQ quoted closing price of a common share of GeoResources, Inc.
