(1) Includes 17,998,065 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Triangle Petroleum Corporation (“Triangle”) issuable upon conversion of a convertible promissory note issued to NGP Triangle Holdings, LLC (“NGP Triangle”) on July 31, 2012, with an initial aggregate principal amount of $120,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share. The aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note increases each calendar quarter as a result of the accrual of the 5.0% per annum interest rate until September 30, 2017, at which time Triangle will have the option to pay any interest payments after such date by capitalizing and adding such amount to the aggregate principal amount outstanding or by paying in cash. Accordingly, accrued interest in the amount $1,000,000, $1,512,500, $1,531,406.25, $1,550,548.83, $1,569,930.69, $1,589,554.82, $1,609,424.26, $1,629,542.06, $1,649,911.34, $1,670,535.23, $1,691,416.92, $1,712,559.63, $1,733,966.63, $1,755,641.21 and $1,777,586.72 was added to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note on September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $143,984,524.58 as of the date of this statement. Based on an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share, $143,984,524.58 in principal amount of the Convertible Note is convertible into 17,998,065 shares of Common Stock.
(2) Calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) to include all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note and based on a total of 76,232,614 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 4, 2016, as reported in Triangle’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on April 14, 2016.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

  (a)-(b) The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in this Item 5(a) and elsewhere in this Amendment assumes there are 76,232,614 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Amendment. This figure is based on information reported in Triangle’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on April 14, 2016. In addition, as required under Rule 13d-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), all shares of Triangle’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note held by NGP Triangle were added to the 76,232,614 referred to above for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Triangle’s Common Stock, resulting in a total of 94,230,679 outstanding shares of Common Stock for purposes of calculating the percentage of beneficial ownership in this Item 5(a) and elsewhere in this Amendment.

 

  (i) NGP Triangle is the sole record owner of the Convertible Note, which as of the date of this Amendment has an outstanding principal balance of $143,984,524.58. Based on an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share, $143,984,524.58 in principal amount of the Convertible Note is convertible into 17,998,065 shares of Common Stock (19.1% of Triangle’s outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act). NGP Triangle has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns.

 

7


  (ii) NGP X is the record holder of 5,773,297 shares of Common Stock, which it purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement on March 8, 2013. NGP X was originally issued 8,118,407 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, but NGP X has sold 2,345,110 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Form 144 as of June 3, 2016. In addition, by virtue of being the controlling member of NGP Triangle, NGP X may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by NGP Triangle. Accordingly, NGP X may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 23,771,362 shares of Common Stock (25.2% of Triangle’s outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act). NGP X has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns.

 

  (iii) G.F.W. Energy does not directly own any shares of Common Stock. By virtue of being the general partner of NGP X and NGP Parallel, G.F.W.
