Information regarding the selling stockholder and the times and manner in which it may offer and sell the shares or interests therein under this prospectus is provided under “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

On February 25, 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Wishbone Energy Partners, LLC, Wishbone Texas Operating Company LLC and WB WaterWorks, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Sellers’ oil and gas properties and interests in the Permian Basin. Upon closing under the Purchase Agreement on April 9, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), we issued 4,581,001 shares of our common stock, which included 2,042,930 shares of our common stock issued to Wishbone Energy Partners, LLC, and an additional 2,538,071 shares of common stock being held in escrow in our name to satisfy potential indemnification claims arising under the Purchase Agreement. To the extent not returned to us in connection with indemnification claims, a portion of the shares held in escrow will be released to Sellers six (6) months after the Closing Date with any remaining amount being released twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), which obligates us to prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued under the Purchase Agreement and to seek and maintain effectiveness of same. We have agreed, among other things, to indemnify the holders of the common stock under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to certain liabilities and to pay certain fees and expenses incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process pursuant to which the selling stockholder named herein may, from time to time, offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus.

This prospectus contains or incorporates by reference statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management or that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. When used in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, the words “may,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “target,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements.

While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties relating to, among other matters, the risks discussed in “Risk Factors” and the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this prospectus occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this prospectus are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus, or if earlier, as of the date they were made. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

This summary description about us and information contained elsewhere in this prospectus does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Important information is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Before investing in our securities, you should read carefully the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors,” together with the additional information described under “Information Incorporated By Reference.”

Our Company

We are a Midland-based oil and gas exploration, development and production company with current operations in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Our drilling operations target the Central Basin Platform in Andrews County and Gaines County, Texas and Lea County, New Mexico, and the Delaware Basin in Reeves County and Culberson County, Texas. We recently acquired additional oil and gas properties and assets in Gaines, Yoakum, Runnels, and Coke Counties, Texas and Lea County, New Mexico, primarily on the Northwest Shelf.

Corporate Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 901 West Wall St., Third Floor, Midland, Texas 79701. Our telephone number at that address is (432) 682-7464. Our website address is http://www.ringenergy.com. We make our periodic reports and other information filed with or furnished to the SEC available, free of charge, through our website, as soon as reasonably practicable. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and you should not consider information contained on our website as part of this prospectus.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the other information included in this prospectus and the documents we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including those in “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, before making an investment decision. Please see “Risk Factors” on page 6 of this prospectus for further information.

An investment in our common stock involves risks. We urge you to carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the documents that we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus as provided under “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference,” including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. Any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If that occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline materially, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The risks included in this prospectus and the documents we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus are not the only risks we face. We may experience additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or as a result of developments occurring in the future. Conditions that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and investment opportunities. In addition, the terms of our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated April 9, 2019, with SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, restrict the payment of dividends to the holders of our common stock and any other equity holders.

Our board of directors can, without stockholder approval, cause preferred stock to be issued on terms that adversely affect common stockholders.

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which none are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Also, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, may determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. If the board causes shares of preferred stock to be issued, the rights of the holders of our common stock could be adversely affected.

Our board’s ability to determine the terms of preferred stock and to cause its issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Preferred shares issued by our board of directors could include voting rights, or even super voting rights, which could shift the ability to control the Company to the holders of the preferred stock. Preferred stock could also have conversion rights into shares of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock which could negatively affect the market for our common stock. In addition, preferred stock would have preference in the event of liquidation of the Company, which means that the holders of preferred stock would be entitled to receive the net assets of the Company distributed in liquidation before the common stock holders receive any distribution of the liquidated assets. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Provisions under Nevada law could delay or prevent a change in control of Ring, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

In addition to the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock, the existence of some provisions under Nevada law could delay or prevent a change in control of Ring, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Nevada law imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of ten percent or more of our outstanding common stock.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could negatively affect us and holders of our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. For instance, if our financial results are below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the market price of our common stock could decrease. Other factors that may affect the market price of our common stock include:

In addition, the United States securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of companies in these markets. Market fluctuations and broad market, economic, and industry factors may negatively affect the price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Any volatility or a significant decrease in the market price of our common stock could also negatively affect our ability to make acquisitions using common stock. Further, if we were to be the object of securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in our common stock price or for other reasons, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could negatively affect our financial results.

Given our plans and our expectation that we may need additional capital and personnel in the future, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, including preferred stock, options, or warrants. The issuance of additional common stock may dilute the ownership of our stockholders.

All proceeds from the disposition of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the disposition of the common stock by the selling stockholder. We have, however, agreed to pay certain fees and expenses incident to our contractual obligation to register these shares of common stock. See “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

This prospectus relates to the possible offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholder identified below, or by any transferee, assignee or other successor-in-interest that receives shares from the selling stockholder as may be named in any supplement to this prospectus, of up to an aggregate 4,581,001 total shares of our common stock, which were issued by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth, based on information provided to us by the selling stockholder or known to us, the name of the selling stockholder and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder before this offering. The percentage of common stock owned by the selling stockholder is based on 67,810,711 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 19, 2019. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

The selling stockholder has not held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our securities.

The registration of the shares does not necessarily mean that any of these shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their shares in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices; however, the information below with respect to shares beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares offered and no other purchases or sales of our common stock.

We prepared the table based on information provided to us by the selling stockholder. We have not sought to verify such information. Other information about the selling stockholder may also change over time. Except as otherwise indicated, the selling stockholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares.

(1) Assumes the sale of all shares of common stock registered pursuant to this prospectus; however, to our knowledge, the selling stockholder is not under any obligation to sell any shares of common stock at this time.

(2) The selling stockholder’s address is 10613 W Sam Houston Pkwy N #400, Houston, Texas 77064. Q-Wishbone (V) Investment Partners, LLC (“Q-Wishbone”) has the right to appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors of the selling stockholder. QEM V, LLC (“QEM V LLC”) is the managing member of Q-Wishbone. Any decision taken by QEM V LLC to vote, or to direct the voting of, and to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, the securities held by the selling stockholder would require the approval of a majority of the members of its investment committee, which majority must include S. Wil VanLoh, Jr. Therefore, Q-Wishbone, QEM V LLC and Mr. VanLoh may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the securities held by the selling stockholder and may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these securities. Q-Wishbone, QEM V LLC and Mr. VanLoh disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities in excess of their pecuniary interest in the securities.

(3) Includes 2,538,071 shares held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims associated with the Purchase Agreement. During such time as such shares are held in escrow, the selling stockholder has no voting rights with respect thereto.

The selling stockholder may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of common stock (collectively, the “Securities”) covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution or to name any transferee, assignee or other successor-in-interest that received shares from the selling stockholder.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. If the shares of common stock are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholder will be responsible for any compensation to such broker-dealers or agents. The selling stockholder will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholder may sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the Securities that it is allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling stockholder in one or more types of transactions, which may include:

In connection with sales through one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transaction involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any such sale may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any person who purchases any share of common stock from or through such broker-dealer or agent.

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the selling stockholder and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholder may also transfer, devise or gift the shares of common stock by other means not covered in this prospectus in which case the transferee, devisee or donee will be the selling stockholder under this prospectus.

If required at the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale, and we will identify any underwriters or agents and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement used to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, the selling stockholder, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person.

Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will bear all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes. We will indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholder against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or will be entitled to contribution. Once sold under this shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
