Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

The information disclosed in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

 

  (a)-(b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

  (c) Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), dated July 31, 2012, between Triangle and NGP Triangle, Triangle issued and sold to NGP Triangle $120,000,000 of Convertible Notes, which are convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of Common Stock of Triangle at an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits and recapitalizations). The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, compounded quarterly, to be paid on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30, and on the date of any redemption, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Notes. Such interest payments are to be paid in kind by adding the accrued interest to the principal balance of the Convertible Notes; provided, that, following July 31, 2017, Triangle has the option to make such interest payments 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, $1,777,586.72, $1,799,806.56, $1,822,304.14, $1,845,082.94 and $1,868,146.48 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, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $151,319,864.69 as of March 31, 2017.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, an “Event of Default” occurred on May 17, 2017 and the outstanding balance of the Convertible Notes of $153,841,831.05 became due and payable, which amount included $987,782.45 of interest that had accrued on the Convertible Notes from March 31, 2017 through May 17, 2017 and $1,534,183.91 of additional interest pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. Following such Event of Default, the Convertible Notes accrued interest at a rate of 11% per annum, compounded quarterly.

On September 30, 2017, accrued interest in the amount of $4,286,236.40 was added to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $160,149,378.17. Based on an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share, $4,286,236.40 in principal amount of Convertible Notes would be convertible into 535,780 shares of Common Stock and $160,149,378.17 in principal amount of Convertible Notes would be convertible into 20,018,672 shares of Common Stock.

 

  (d) Not applicable.

 

  (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock on October 19, 2017.
