Subject to Completion, Dated February 25, 2014

HYDE PARK ACQUISITION CORP. II 500 Fifth Avenue, 50th Floor New York, NY 10110 SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC 2811 Airpark Drive Santa Maria, California 93455

To the Stockholders of Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II and the Unitholders of Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC:

On November 27, 2013, Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Hyde Park”), Santa Maria Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Santa Maria Energy Corporation”), HPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HPAC Merger Sub”), SME Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SME Merger Sub”), and Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Santa Maria Energy”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended on December 16, 2013, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for (1) the merger of HPAC Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, with and into Hyde Park, with Hyde Park surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (the “Hyde Park Merger”), (2) the merger of SME Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, with and into Santa Maria Energy, an oil and natural gas exploration and development company, with Santa Maria Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (the “Santa Maria Energy Merger” and together with the Hyde Park Merger, the “merger”), and (3) the subsequent contribution of Santa Maria Energy to Hyde Park, resulting in Santa Maria Energy becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park. The stockholders of Hyde Park and the common unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and the preferred unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock as part of the merger.

It is anticipated that, upon consummation of the merger and assuming no conversion of Hyde Park common stock, Hyde Park’s former stockholders will own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding common stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and Santa Maria Energy’s former unitholders will own approximately 61.2% of the outstanding common stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. In addition, upon consummation of the merger, the former preferred unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will own all of the outstanding preferred stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders will not receive any cash as a result of the merger. Hyde Park stockholders should note that the final prospectus with respect to Hyde Park’s initial public offering stated that “Hyde Park will not enter into a business combination unless either [Hyde Park] or [Hyde Park’s] public stockholders acquire at least a controlling interest in the target business” and cautioned investors of a “potential change in control if [Hyde Park] acquire[s] one or more target businesses for stock” or in a transaction involving the issuance of common stock. Although Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park stockholders will not acquire a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger, and instead will own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding common stock assuming no conversions of Hyde Park common stock and no Private Equity Financing (as defined in the joint proxy statement/prospectus). At a minimum, the Hyde Park stockholders will own approximately 19.5% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock assuming maximum conversion of Hyde Park common stock and maximum Private Equity Financing.

Santa Maria Energy unitholders are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy relating to Santa Maria Energy’s proposed merger with Hyde Park. The special meeting of unitholders will be held at              a.m., local time, on                     , 2014 at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 811 Main Street, Suite 3700, Houston, Texas.

At the special meeting, Santa Maria Energy unitholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the merger (the “merger proposal”) and certain related matters. In addition, Santa Maria Energy will solicit unitholder approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the merger (which we refer to as the “merger-related compensation proposal”). Certain of Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders, sometimes referred to herein as the “Kayne Investors,” have agreed, with respect to the merger proposal, to vote all of the outstanding redeemable preferred units (“preferred units”) and all of their common units (representing approximately 30% of Santa Maria Energy’s outstanding common units) “FOR” the merger

proposal. Because a majority of the preferred units and only 29% of the outstanding common units are required to approve the merger proposal, the passage of the merger proposal by Santa Maria Energy unitholders is assured.

After careful consideration, Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Santa Maria Energy and its unitholders. Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger proposal and the merger related compensation proposal. When you consider the recommendation of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers in favor of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain of Santa Maria Energy’s managers and officers have interests in the merger that may conflict with your interests as a unitholder. See the section entitled, “The Merger — Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger.”

Hyde Park stockholders are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the stockholders of Hyde Park relating to Hyde Park’s proposed merger with Santa Maria Energy. The special meeting of stockholders will be held at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, on                     , 2014, at the offices of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, 575 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

At the special meeting, Hyde Park stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the merger and certain related matters.

As provided in Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, each Hyde Park stockholder who holds shares of common stock issued in Hyde Park’s initial public offering, which we sometimes refer to as “IPO shares,” has the right to vote either for or against the merger proposal and at the same time demand that Hyde Park convert such stockholder’s shares into cash in an amount equal to such stockholder’s pro rata portion of the trust account which contains a substantial portion of the net proceeds of Hyde Park’s initial public offering. These IPO shares will be converted into cash only if the merger is completed, the stockholder demanding such conversion continues to hold such stockholder’s shares through the closing date of the merger and such stockholder tenders his, her or its stock certificate to Hyde Park in advance of the special meeting. However, a holder of IPO shares (or a “group” of holders of IPO shares, as discussed below) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the aggregate IPO shares. Hyde Park does not have a maximum conversion threshold under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, although under Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the merger may not be consummated unless Hyde Park maintains net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the merger. In addition, it is a condition to closing the merger that after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account. Hyde Park’s shares of common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, which we refer to as “NASDAQ,” under the ticker symbol “HPAC.” Prior to exercising conversion rights, Hyde Park stockholders should verify the market price of Hyde Park’s common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights.

Hyde Park’s initial stockholders, sometimes referred to herein as the “Hyde Park sponsors,” have agreed, with respect to the merger proposal, to vote their 2,568,750 shares of Hyde Park common stock acquired prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering or simultaneously therewith in a private placement of Hyde Park common stock, representing an aggregate of approximately 25.5% of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock, as well as any public shares of Hyde Park common stock that they have acquired or will acquire, “FOR” the merger proposal.

After careful consideration, Hyde Park’s board of directors has determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Hyde Park and its stockholders. Hyde Park’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger proposal. When you consider the recommendation of Hyde Park’s board of directors in favor of the merger proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of Hyde Park’s directors and officers have interests in the merger that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled, “The Merger — Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger.” One significant conflict relates to the fact that certain shares of Hyde Park common stock

held by Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors (which shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), will likely become worthless if the merger is not completed.

Enclosed is a notice of special meeting of the Hyde Park stockholders, a notice of the special meeting of the Santa Maria Energy unitholders and joint proxy statement/prospectus containing detailed information concerning the merger proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby as well as detailed information concerning the other proposals to be considered by Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting of Hyde Park stockholders or Santa Maria Energy unitholders, we urge you to read this material carefully.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

The questions and answers below highlight only selected procedural information contained this joint proxy statement/prospectus. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus and the additional documents referred to herein to fully understand the voting procedures for the meetings.

Q. Why am I receiving this joint proxy statement/prospectus? A. Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Hyde Park”), and Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Santa Maria Energy”), will hold special meetings of their stockholders and unitholders, respectively, to consider and vote upon proposals relating to a proposed merger between Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy. Santa Maria Energy is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas in the Monterey formation and the Diatomite reservoir within the Sisquoc formation in northern Santa Barbara County, California. This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed transactions, which we refer to as the “merger,” and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting of each of Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders. The vote of the Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders, respectively, is important. You are encouraged to read this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety and to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Hyde Park stockholders should note that, in light of Hyde Park’s mandatory May 1, 2014 liquidation date, the merger is likely to be the only opportunity for Hyde Park to complete its initial business combination. While Hyde Park’s public stockholders are entitled to participate in a pro rata distribution of the amounts held in Hyde Park’s trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share), Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors, are not entitled to participate in such distribution with respect to their founder and sponsor shares (which had an aggregate value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), and such shares will therefore likely become worthless if the merger is not completed. Hyde Park stockholders should take this conflict of interest into account, in addition to the other conflicts discussed under “Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger” when considering Hyde Park’s board of directors’ recommendation to vote in favor of the merger.

Q. How will the proposed merger be completed? A. The transaction will be effected through multiple steps:

• First, HPAC Merger Sub, Inc. (“HPAC Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (“Santa Maria Energy Corporation”), will merge with and into Hyde Park with Hyde Park surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and Hyde Park stockholders will receive

Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in exchange for their Hyde Park common stock (the “Hyde Park Merger”).

• Second, SME Merger Sub, LLC (“SME Merger Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, will merge with and into Santa Maria Energy, with Santa Maria Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and Santa Maria Energy common unitholders will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and Santa Maria Energy preferred unitholders will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock in exchange for their Santa Maria Energy units (the “Santa Maria Merger”).

• Last, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will contribute all of its interests in Santa Maria Energy to Hyde Park, resulting in Santa Maria Energy becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park (the “SME Contribution”).

For more information, see the section entitled “Merger Agreement.”

Q. Why are Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy proposing the merger? A. Hyde Park was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, equity purchase or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses.

Based upon its investigation of Santa Maria Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, Hyde Park believes that the merger with Santa Maria Energy and entering the oil and natural gas exploration and development business provides an attractive investment opportunity for Hyde Park and its stockholders. In reaching its decision to approve the merger, Hyde Park’s board of directors considered a number of factors, which are described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See the sections entitled “The Merger—Factors Considered by the Hyde Park Board of Directors in Approving the Merger” and “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy.”

In accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Hyde Park is required to submit the merger proposal to holders of its shares of common stock issued in Hyde Park’s initial public offering (“IPO shares”) for their approval. In addition, because the transaction involves a merger between Hyde Park and Hyde Park Merger Sub, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) requires that the transaction be submitted to all of Hyde Park’s stockholders for their approval. Hyde Park’s shares of common stock other than IPO shares are shares that were issued either prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering or concurrently with it in a private placement. We sometimes refer to the holders of our non-IPO shares as our sponsors. For the name and number of shares held by each of our sponsors, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Certain Hyde Park Transactions.”

In the course of reaching its decision to approve the agreement and plan of merger providing for the merger of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy (the “Merger Agreement”) and the related transactions, the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy considered a number of factors in its deliberations. For a more complete discussion of the factors that the Santa Maria Energy board of managers considered, see “The Merger—Factors Considered by the Santa Maria Energy Board of Managers in Approving the Merger.”

Q. Will Hyde Park stockholders control Santa Maria Energy Corporation after the merger? A. No. Hyde Park stockholders will not own a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger, and instead will own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding common stock assuming no conversions of Hyde Park common stock and no Private Equity Financing (as defined on page 26). At a minimum, the Hyde Park stockholders will own approximately 19.5% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock assuming maximum conversion of Hyde Park common stock and maximum Private Equity Financing. The final prospectus with respect to Hyde Park’s initial public offering stated that “Hyde Park will not enter into a business combination unless either [Hyde Park] or [Hyde Park’s] public stockholders acquire at least a controlling interest in the target business” and cautioned investors of a “potential change in control if [Hyde Park] acquire[s] one or more target businesses for stock” or in a transaction involving the issuance of common stock. Although Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park stockholders will not acquire a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger. Hyde Park does not believe the disclosure contained in its IPO prospectus precluded Hyde Park from pursuing a non-control transaction, and Hyde Park decided to pursue the merger with Santa Maria Energy notwithstanding the lack of such a controlling interest based on the substantive benefits of the transaction perceived by Hyde Park’s board of directors, including the potential for value creation for Hyde Park’s stockholders provided by the transaction. See “The Merger—Factors Considered by the Hyde Park Board of Directors in Approving the Merger.”

Q. What will Hyde Park stockholders receive in the merger? A. If the merger is completed, Hyde Park stockholders will receive one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock for each share of Hyde Park common stock that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

Please note that there are several risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares and there are also several differences between owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares as compared to owning Hyde Park shares. See “Comparison of Securityholders’ Rights” for a discussion of the differences in rights of Santa Maria Energy Corporation

stockholders and Hyde Park stockholders and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy” for further discussion of the risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares.

Q. What will Santa Maria Energy unitholders receive in the merger? A. If the merger is completed, Santa Maria Energy common unitholders will receive 0.2857 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock for each Santa Maria Energy common unit that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Kayne Anderson Energy Fund IV, L.P. and Kayne Anderson Energy Fund IV QP, L.P. (collectively the “Kayne Investors”), as the only holders of Santa Maria Energy redeemable preferred units (“preferred units”), will receive one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock for each Santa Maria Energy preferred unit that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

Please note that there are several risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares and there are also several differences between owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares as compared to owning Santa Maria Energy units. See “Comparison of Securityholders’ Rights” for further discussion of the differences in rights of Santa Maria Energy Corporation stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Hyde Park and the Merger” for further discussion of the risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares.

Q. What are the terms of the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock that the Kayne Investors will receive in the merger? A. If the merger is completed, the Kayne Investors will receive one share of preferred stock for each Santa Maria Energy preferred unit that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The stated amount of these shares will be $50 million. These shares will be subject to a mandatory dividend of 8.0% per annum paid quarterly in cash or additional shares of preferred stock at the option of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. The shares must be redeemed upon (i) the fourth anniversary of the consummation of the merger or (ii) upon a change of control, whichever occurs first. Santa Maria Energy Corporation also has the option to redeem the preferred stock at any time following the consummation of the merger at 100% stated amount plus any accrued dividends, subject to certain limitations. While the preferred stock is outstanding, the Kayne Investors will have the right to appoint two members of the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and the Kayne Investors will have certain approval rights with respect to the business and management of Santa Maria Energy Corporation.

Please note that there are several risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares and there are also several differences between owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares as compared to owning Santa Maria Energy units. See “Description of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Common Stock and Other Securities” for further discussion of the terms of the preferred stock in Santa Maria Energy Corporation and “Risk

Factors—The Kayne Investors will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock in the merger, and their interests may conflict with those of the common stockholders” for further discussion of the risks associated with owning Santa Maria Energy Corporation common and preferred stock.

Q. What vote is required to adopt the merger proposal? A. For Hyde Park stockholders, adoption of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting and the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal.

For Santa Maria Energy unitholders, adoption of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 50,000,000 common units and 50,000 preferred units outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each unit is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on the merger proposal. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal.

Q. How will Hyde Park’s initial stockholders vote in connection with the merger proposal? A. As of                     , 2014, the record date for the special meeting, Hyde Park’s initial stockholders, which are sometimes referred to herein as the “sponsors,” held an aggregate of 2,568,750 shares of Hyde Park common stock, which are sometimes referred to herein as “sponsors’ shares,” representing approximately 25.5% of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock. Pursuant to agreements with Hyde Park, the sponsors have agreed to vote all of the sponsors’ shares in favor of the merger proposal. See the section entitled “Additional Information About Hyde Park—Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting.”

Q. How will the Kayne Investors vote in connection with the merger proposal? A. The Kayne Investors, who hold all of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy preferred units and approximately 30% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units, have agreed to vote all of their units in favor of the merger proposal. Accordingly, the Kayne Investors possess enough votes to approve the merger proposal, even if no other unitholder votes in favor of the merger proposal. Please read “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy—The Kayne Investors beneficially own enough preferred units and common units to ensure approval of the merger proposal, and their interests in the merger and Santa Maria Energy’s business may be different from those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders.”

Q. Do Hyde Park stockholders have conversion rights? A. Yes. Pursuant to Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of IPO shares may vote for or against the merger proposal and demand that Hyde Park convert such shares into cash if the merger is consummated in accordance with the procedures described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

5

Hyde Park anticipates that the amount of cash held in the trust account upon the consummation of the merger will be $10.50 per IPO share.

We sometimes refer herein to the right of Hyde Park stockholders to vote either for or against the merger and demand conversion of Hyde Park shares into their pro rata portion of the trust account as “conversion rights.” See “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights.”

Q. How do Hyde Park stockholders exercise conversion rights? A. A holder of Hyde Park IPO shares that wishes to exercise its conversion rights must (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, (ii) demand that Hyde Park convert its Hyde Park shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal, and (iii) deliver its stock to Hyde Park’s transfer agent physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System prior to the vote at the special meeting.

A holder of IPO shares may demand conversion rights either by checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting its request in writing to Hyde Park’s chief executive officer at the address listed at the end of this section. If a holder of Hyde Park common stock (i) initially does not vote with respect to the merger proposal but then wishes to vote for or against it, or (ii) wishes to exercise its conversion rights but initially does not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of its conversion rights and does not send a written request to Hyde Park to exercise its conversion rights, it may request Hyde Park to send it another proxy card on which it may indicate its intended vote or its intention to exercise its conversion rights. A Hyde Park stockholder may make such request by contacting Hyde Park at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any request for conversion, once made by a holder of IPO shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the merger proposal at the special meeting. If a Hyde Park stockholder delivers its shares for conversion to Hyde Park’s transfer agent and later decides prior to the special meeting not to elect conversion, it may request that Hyde Park’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). A Hyde Park stockholder may make such request by contacting Hyde Park’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Hyde Park’s chief executive officer prior to the vote taken on the merger proposal at the special meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s common stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting.

6

If a holder of IPO shares votes for or against the merger proposal, demand is properly made and the stock is delivered as described above, then, if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share). If a Hyde Park stockholder exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Hyde Park common stock for cash and will no longer own such shares following the merger. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights.”

Q. Is there a limit on the number of shares of Hyde Park common stock that may be converted? A. Yes. A holder of IPO shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the aggregate IPO shares without Hyde Park’s prior written consent. Accordingly, all IPO shares in excess of 20% beneficially owned by a stockholder and its affiliates or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group will not be converted into cash without Hyde Park’s consent. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights.”

In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Hyde Park will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights to certify to Hyde Park whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder.

Q. Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed merger? A. If the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock issued in the merger is listed on the NASDAQ (subject only to official notice of issuance), then Hyde Park stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the DGCL. However, if the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock is not approved for listing on the NASDAQ, Hyde Park stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger proposal and who otherwise comply with the applicable statutory procedures will have appraisal rights. Santa Maria Energy unitholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”). See the sections entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Appraisal Rights” and “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting—Appraisal Rights.”

Q. What happens to the funds deposited in Hyde Park’s trust account after consummation of the merger? A. Upon consummation of the merger, the funds in the trust account will be released to Hyde Park and used by Hyde Park to pay holders of the IPO shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay expenses incurred in connection with the merger and for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s working capital and general corporate purposes. Upon consummation of the merger, and following distribution of the funds in the trust account, the trust account will cease to exist.

7

Q. What happens if a substantial number of Hyde Park public stockholders vote in favor of the merger proposal and exercise their conversion rights? A. Unlike some blank check companies which require public stockholders to vote against a business combination in order to exercise their conversion rights, Hyde Park’s public stockholders may vote in favor of or against the merger and still exercise conversion rights. Accordingly, the merger may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of conversion by Hyde Park public stockholders. With fewer IPO shares and public stockholders, the trading market for Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock may be less liquid, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation may not be able to meet the listing standards for NASDAQ or another national securities exchange.

Under the Merger Agreement, however, it is a condition to the consummation of the merger that after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account. The merger will not be consummated if Hyde Park has less than $40 million of cash in its trust account after exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders. In that case, Hyde Park must redeem 100% of the outstanding IPO shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount described below. The amounts necessary to fund the conversions of the Hyde Park common shares will be paid solely from the Hyde Park trust account.

Regardless of the amount in the Hyde Park trust account upon the consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will need to seek additional financing to fund drilling requirements. If there is less money available in the trust account due to a substantial number of conversions, the amount to be raised through its Private Equity Financing will increase. However, so long as there is a minimum of $40 million in cash in the trust account at closing and the other closing conditions are met, the merger will be consummated regardless of whether the Private Equity Financing effort is successful. In no event will the proceeds from any Private Equity Financing be used to fund conversions of the Hyde Park common shares.

Q. What happens if the merger is not consummated? A. Hyde Park must redeem 100% of the outstanding IPO shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount described below, if it does not consummate the merger with Santa Maria Energy or complete another business combination by May 1, 2014. If the merger or another proposed business combination that Hyde Park presents to its stockholders for approval ultimately is not completed by that deadline, the holders of the IPO shares will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share) and any additional pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not released to Hyde Park for its working capital requirements or to pay taxes. See the section entitled “Additional

8

Information About Hyde Park—Liquidation if No Merger” for additional information.

Q. When do you expect the merger to be completed? A. The Merger Agreement requires the closing to occur no later than May 1, 2014. We expect that the closing will take place on or prior to such date. See the section entitled “Merger Agreement.”

Q. What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Hyde Park Merger on U.S. holders of Hyde Park common stock that receive Santa Maria Energy common stock? A. The merger will qualify as part of an exchange under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result of and subject to the assumptions and qualification set forth in “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) no gain or loss generally will be recognized by a U.S. holder of Hyde Park common stock that receives shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock pursuant to the Hyde Park Merger, (ii) the tax basis of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received by a U.S. holder of Hyde Park common stock in the Hyde Park Merger should be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the Hyde Park common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, and (iii) the holding period of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received in the Hyde Park Merger by a U.S. holder of Hyde Park common stock will include the period during which such Hyde Park common stock was held. Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the Hyde Park Merger to a particular holder will depend on such holder’s circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

Q. What constitutes a quorum? A. Hyde Park’s bylaws provide that that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of all the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum at all meetings of the Hyde Park stockholders. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Quorum.”

Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement provides that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units constitutes a quorum at the Santa Maria Energy special meeting. See the section entitled “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting—Quorum.”

Q. What is the other proposal being voted on by Hyde Park stockholders besides the merger proposal? A. Hyde Park stockholders will also be asked to adopt a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Hyde Park special meeting to adopt the merger proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Hyde Park adjournment proposal.” See the section entitled “Hyde Park Proposals—The Hyde Park Adjournment Proposal.”

Adoption by Hyde Park stockholders of the merger proposal is not conditioned upon adoption of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal.

Q. Why is Hyde Park proposing the Hyde Park adjournment proposal? A. Hyde Park is proposing the Hyde Park adjournment proposal to allow Hyde Park’s board of directors to adjourn the special meeting at which the merger proposal will be voted on to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger proposal. See the section entitled “Hyde Park Proposals—The Hyde Park Adjournment Proposal.”

10

Q. What vote is required to adopt the Hyde Park adjournment proposal? A. Adoption of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Hyde Park common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Adoption of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of the merger proposal. See the section entitled “Hyde Park Proposals—The Hyde Park Adjournment Proposal.”

Q. What is the other proposal being voted on by Santa Maria Energy unitholders besides the merger proposal? A. In addition to the merger proposal, Santa Maria Energy unitholders will also be asked to consider and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on a proposal to approve certain compensation that may be paid or may become payable to Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers in connection with the merger, which is referred to herein as the “Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.” See the section entitled “Santa Maria Energy Proposals—The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.”

Q. Why are the Santa Maria Energy unitholders being asked to consider and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers in connection with the merger? A. In July 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted rules that require Santa Maria Energy to seek a non-binding, advisory vote with respect to certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger. See the section entitled “Santa Maria Energy Proposals—The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.”

Q. What vote is required to adopt the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal? A. Adoption of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 50,000,000 common units and 50,000 preferred units outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each unit is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. Adoption of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any other proposal. See the section entitled “Santa Maria Energy Proposals—The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.”

The Kayne Investors, who hold all of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy preferred units and approximately 30% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units, have agreed to vote all of their units in favor of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal. Accordingly, the Kayne Investors possess enough votes to approve the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal, even if no other unitholder votes in favor of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.

11

Q. What do I need to do now? A. Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the merger will affect you as a stockholder of Hyde Park or a unitholder of Santa Maria Energy. Stockholders and unitholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q. How do I vote? A. If you are a holder of record of Hyde Park common stock, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting.”

If you are a holder of record of Santa Maria Energy units, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. See the section entitled “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting.”

Q. If my Hyde Park shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? A. No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your Hyde Park shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. See the sections entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes.”

Q. If I am not going to attend the special meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead? A. Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, please fill out and sign your proxy card. Then, please return the enclosed proxy card in the return envelope as soon as possible, so that your Hyde Park shares and/or Santa Maria Energy units may be represented at the corresponding special meeting.

Q. May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? A. Yes. Send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Hyde Park’s chief executive officer or Santa Maria Energy’s president, respectively, at the address of the corporate headquarters so that it is received by Hyde Park’s chief executive officer or Santa Maria Energy’s president, respectively, prior to the vote at the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. Hyde Park

12

stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Hyde Park’s chief executive officer or Santa Maria Energy’s president, as applicable, which must be received by the respective officer prior to the vote at the respective special meeting. See the contact information at the end of this section. See the sections entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Revoking Your Proxy” and “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting—Revoking Your Proxy.”

Q. What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote? A. An abstention or failure to vote (including a failure to instruct your broker how to vote if you are a Hyde Park stockholder) will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal. An abstention or failure to vote will not result in the conversion of your shares if you are a Hyde Park stockholder. To exercise your conversion rights as a Hyde Park stockholder, you must vote either for or against the merger proposal and at the same time affirmatively elect to convert your shares by checking the appropriate box, or directing your broker to check the appropriate box, on the proxy card and ensure that the proxy card is delivered prior to the Hyde Park special meeting. See the sections entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes” and “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting—Abstentions.”

Q. What should I do with my stock certificates? A. Hyde Park stockholders who do not elect to have their shares converted into the pro rata share of the trust account should continue to hold their stock certificates until after the merger. After the merger is completed, Hyde Park stockholders holding Hyde Park stock certificates will receive from Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s exchange agent a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to obtain the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to which such holder is entitled under the Merger Agreement.

Each holder of record of one or more book-entry shares of Hyde Park common stock whose shares will be converted into the right to receive one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock will automatically, upon the effective time of the Hyde Park Merger, be entitled to receive, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause the exchange agent to deliver to such holder as promptly as practicable after the effective time, the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to which such holder is entitled under the Merger Agreement. See the section entitled “Merger Agreement.” Holders of book-entry shares will not be required to deliver a certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent in order to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights.”

13

Q. What should I do if I am a securityholder of both Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy? A. You will receive separate proxy cards for each company and should complete, sign and date each proxy card and return each proxy card in the appropriate pre-addressed postage-paid envelope or, if available, by submitting a proxy by one of the other methods specified in your proxy card or voting instruction card for each company in order to ensure that your shares and/or units are voted.

Q. What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? A. You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold securities. If you are a holder of record and your shares or units are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your securities.

Q. Who will pay for this proxy solicitation? A Hyde Park and Santa Maria will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies from their respective stockholders or unitholders. Hyde Park will, upon request, reimburse brokerage firms and other nominee holders for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of Hyde Park shares. Hyde Park’s officers and directors may solicit proxies from Hyde Park stockholders by mail, personal contact, letter, telephone, telegram, facsimile or other electronic means. They will not receive any additional compensation for those activities, but they may be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Hyde Park has hired                      to solicit proxies on its behalf. The cost of soliciting proxies on Hyde Park’s behalf will be approximately $                     plus costs and expenses. See the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Solicitation Costs.”

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this joint proxy statement/prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the merger and related proposals you should read this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and the annexes. See also the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Parties to the Transaction

Hyde Park

Hyde Park was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 24, 2011, as a blank check company, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. On August 7, 2012, Hyde Park completed its initial public offering along with a private placement of its common stock. Since its incorporation, Hyde Park has not acquired an operating business.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the public offering expenses, the total net proceeds to Hyde Park from the public offering were $72,768,238. Of these net proceeds, $71,812,500, together with $6,937,500 raised from the private sale of common stock to Hyde Park’s sponsors, for a total of $78,750,000, were deposited in a trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which we refer to herein as the “trust account,” and the remaining proceeds of $955,738 became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The funds held in the trust account will be released to Hyde Park upon the consummation of the merger and will be used to pay the holders of the IPO shares who exercise conversion rights and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the merger and will otherwise be available for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s general corporate purposes.

If Hyde Park does not complete the merger or another business combination by May 1, 2014, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public stock and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. Hyde Park stockholders should note that, in light of Hyde Park’s mandatory May 1, 2014 liquidation date, the merger is likely to be the only opportunity for Hyde Park to complete its initial business combination. While Hyde Park’s public stockholders are entitled to participate in a pro rata distribution of the amounts held in Hyde Park’s trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share), Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors, are not entitled to participate in such distribution with respect to their founder and sponsor shares (which had an aggregate value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), and such shares will therefore likely become worthless if the merger is not completed. Hyde Park stockholders should take this conflict of interest into account, in addition to the other conflicts discussed under “Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger” when considering Hyde Park’s board of directors’ recommendation to vote in favor of the merger.

Hyde Park’s common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “HPAC.” The mailing address of the principal executive office of Hyde Park is 500 Fifth Avenue, 50^th Floor, New York, New York 10110, and its telephone number is (212) 644-3450.

17

The Proposed Merger

Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy have entered into a Merger Agreement providing for the combination of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy under Santa Maria Energy Corporation, a new holding company. First, in the Hyde Park Merger, HPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into Hyde Park with Hyde Park as the surviving entity, and Hyde Park stockholders will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in exchange for their Hyde Park stock. Concurrent with the Hyde Park Merger, SME Merger Sub will merge with and into Santa Maria Energy, with Santa Maria Energy as the surviving entity, and Santa Maria Energy unitholders will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation stock in exchange for their Santa Maria Energy units. Santa Maria Energy will then be contributed to Hyde Park so that Santa Maria Energy will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park. Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to apply to list its common stock, effective following the merger, on the NASDAQ under the symbol “SMEC.”

18

Merger Consideration

Merger consideration received by Hyde Park stockholders

As a result of the Hyde Park Merger, each outstanding share of Hyde Park common stock will be exchanged for one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock (the “Hyde Park Merger Consideration”). A description of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be issued in connection with the Hyde Park Merger is set forth in the section entitled “Description of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Common Stock and Other Securities.”

As a result of the merger and assuming no conversion of Hyde Park common stock, Hyde Park stockholders will own 10,068,750 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock, or approximately 38.8% of its outstanding common stock immediately following the merger and prior to the consummation of the proposed private equity financing. See “The Merger—Merger Consideration” and “Summary—Private Equity Financing by Santa Maria Energy Corporation.”

Hyde Park stockholders should note that the final prospectus with respect to Hyde Park’s initial public offering stated that “Hyde Park will not enter into a business combination unless either [Hyde Park] or [Hyde Park’s] public stockholders acquire at least a controlling interest in the target business” and cautioned investors of a “potential change in control if [Hyde Park] acquire[s] one or more target businesses for stock” or in a transaction involving the issuance of common stock. Although Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park stockholders will not acquire a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger, and instead will own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding common stock assuming no conversions of Hyde Park common stock and no Private Equity Financing. At a minimum, the Hyde Park stockholders will own approximately 19.5% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock assuming maximum conversion of Hyde Park common stock and maximum Private Equity Financing.

Merger consideration received by Santa Maria Energy unitholders

As a result of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, each outstanding Santa Maria Energy common unit will be exchanged for 0.2857 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock (the “Santa Maria Energy

19

Common Merger Consideration”). In addition, each outstanding Santa Maria Energy preferred unit will be exchanged for one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock (the “Santa Maria Energy Preferred Merger Consideration” and, together with the Santa Maria Energy Common Merger Consideration, the “Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration”). The common units that will be exchanged for the Santa Maria Energy Common Merger Consideration will include the 50,000,000 common units currently outstanding and up to an additional 6,099,212 common units that will be issued to the Kayne Investors immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Merger in satisfaction of accrued but unpaid dividends on the preferred units and a fee payable for a guarantee (the “Kayne Guaranty”) provided by the Kayne Investors in support of Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility. A description of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be issued in connection with the merger is set forth in the section entitled “Description of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Common Stock and Other Securities.”

Recommendation to Hyde Park Stockholders

Hyde Park’s board of directors has determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Hyde Park stockholders. Hyde Park’s board of directors has also determined that the Hyde Park adjournment proposal is in the best interests of Hyde Park’s stockholders. Hyde Park’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Hyde Park’s stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal and “FOR” the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented.

Hyde Park stockholders should note that, in light of Hyde Park’s mandatory May 1, 2014 liquidation date, the merger is likely to be the only opportunity for Hyde Park to complete its initial business combination. While Hyde Park’s public stockholders are entitled to participate in a pro rata distribution of the amounts held in Hyde Park’s trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share), Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors, are not entitled to participate in such distribution with respect to their founder and sponsor shares (which had an aggregate market value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), and such shares will therefore likely become worthless if the merger is not completed. Hyde Park stockholders should take this conflict of interest into account, in addition to the other conflicts discussed under “Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger,” when considering Hyde Park’s board of directors’ recommendation to vote in favor of the merger.

Recommendation to Santa Maria Energy Unitholders

Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Santa Maria Energy unitholders. Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has also determined that approval of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal is in the best interests of Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders. Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers unanimously recommends that Santa Maria Energy unitholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal and “FOR” the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.

Officers and Directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation

Upon consummation of the merger, the current officers of Santa Maria Energy are expected to assume or continue their same positions at Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and four of the current members of the Santa Maria Energy board of managers will serve on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors (including two individuals designated by the Kayne Investors). In addition, three individuals (including Laurence S. Levy and Edward Levy) designated by Hyde Park will serve on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors.

Hyde Park Special Meeting

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Hyde Park’s Stockholders

The special meeting of the stockholders of Hyde Park will be held at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, on                     , 2014 at the offices of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, located at 575 Madison Avenue, New York,

20

New York, to consider and vote on the adoption of the merger proposal. The Hyde Park adjournment proposal may be presented, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Hyde Park is not authorized to consummate the merger.

Voting Power; Record Date

Hyde Park stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned shares of Hyde Park common stock at the close of business on                     , 2014, which is the record date for the special meeting. Stockholders will have one vote for each share of Hyde Park common stock owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 10,068,750 shares of Hyde Park common stock outstanding, of which 7,500,000 were IPO shares and 2,568,750 were shares held by the Hyde Park sponsors.

Quorum and Vote of Hyde Park Stockholders

A quorum of Hyde Park stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Hyde Park special meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Hyde Park sponsors hold approximately 25.5% of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock. Such shares, as well as any IPO shares acquired by the Hyde Park sponsors, will be voted in favor of the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Hyde Park sponsors have not purchased any shares since its initial public offering. The proposals presented at the special meeting will require the following votes:

• The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting and the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting.

• The approval of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Hyde Park common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting.

Abstentions are considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have the same effect as votes “against” the merger proposal, but will have no effect on the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented. Please note that holders of the IPO shares cannot seek conversion of their shares unless they vote for or against the merger proposal.

Adoption by Hyde Park stockholders of the merger proposal is not conditioned upon adoption of any other proposal.

Conversion Rights

Pursuant to Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of IPO shares may demand that Hyde Park convert such shares into cash if the merger is consummated. Holders of IPO shares will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, (ii) demand that Hyde Park convert their shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal, and (iii) deliver their stock to Hyde Park’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If the merger is not completed, these shares will not be converted into cash. If a holder of IPO shares properly demands

21

conversion and votes in favor of or against the merger proposal, Hyde Park will convert each IPO share into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated closing date of the merger. This amount is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share. If a holder of IPO shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Hyde Park common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. See “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares of Hyde Park common stock into cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of IPO shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the aggregate IPO shares without Hyde Park’s prior written consent. Accordingly, all IPO shares in excess of 20% beneficially owned by a stockholder and its affiliates or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group will not be converted to cash without Hyde Park’s consent. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Hyde Park will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights to certify to Hyde Park whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder.

In addition, it is a condition to the consummation of the merger that after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account.

If Hyde Park is unable to complete the merger or another business combination by May 1, 2014, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding IPO shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. A pro rata share of the trust account that a holder would receive upon redemption in the event a business combination is not effected in the required period may be more or less than the estimated $10.50 per share that a holder would receive upon conversion of its shares in connection with the merger because (i) there will be greater earned interest in the trust account at the time of the redemption since it would occur at a later date than a conversion and (ii) Hyde Park may incur expenses it otherwise would not incur if Hyde Park consummates the merger, including, potentially, claims requiring payment from the trust account by creditors who have not waived their rights against the trust account. Hyde Park’s officers have agreed that they will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Hyde Park for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Hyde Park. While Hyde Park has no reason to believe that its officers will not be able to satisfy those obligations, there cannot be any assurances to that effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hyde Park’s officers will have no personal liability under this indemnity (1) as to any claimed amounts owed to a target business or vendor or other entity who has executed a valid and enforceable agreement with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, or (2) as to any claims under Hyde Park’s indemnity with the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. See the section entitled “Additional Information About Hyde Park—Liquidation if No Merger” for additional information.

Appraisal Rights

If Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock issued in the merger is listed on the NASDAQ (subject only to official notice of issuance), then Hyde Park stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the DGCL. However, if the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock is not approved for listing on the NASDAQ, Hyde Park stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger proposal and who otherwise comply with the applicable statutory procedures will have appraisal rights. See the section entitled “The Merger—Appraisal or Dissenters Rights.”

22

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Hyde Park has engaged              to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Revoking Your Proxy.”

Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Santa Maria Energy’s Unitholders

The special meeting of the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will be held at              a.m., local time, on                     , 2014 at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, located at 811 Main Street, Suite 3700, Houston, Texas, to consider and vote on the adoption of the merger proposal and the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

Santa Maria Energy unitholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned units of Santa Maria Energy at the close of business on                     , 2014, which is the record date for the special meeting. Unitholders will have one vote for each unit of Santa Maria Energy owned at the close of business on the record date. On the record date, there were 50,000,000 common units and 50,000 preferred units of Santa Maria Energy outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, of which 50,000 preferred units and 14,862,157 common units were held by the Kayne Investors.

Quorum and Vote of Santa Maria Energy Unitholders

A quorum of Santa Maria Energy unitholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Santa Maria Energy special meeting if a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Kayne Investors hold all of the outstanding preferred units and approximately 30% of the outstanding common units of Santa Maria Energy. Such units, will be voted in favor of the merger proposal and the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal. Please read “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy—The Kayne Investors beneficially own enough preferred units and common units to ensure approval of the merger proposal, and their interests in the merger and Santa Maria Energy’s business may be different from those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders.” The proposals presented at the special meeting will require the following votes:

• The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

• The approval of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Abstentions are considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal and the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.

23

Appraisal Rights

Santa Maria Energy unitholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the DLLCA.

Revoking Your Proxy

If a unitholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its units in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A unitholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Santa Maria Energy Special Meeting—Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger

When you consider the recommendation of Hyde Park’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, you should keep in mind that Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include a large number of Hyde Park shares held by officers, directors and Hyde Park sponsors becoming worthless if Hyde Park does not effect a business combination by May 1, 2014. For additional information on the interests of Hyde Park’s directors, officers and others in the merger, see “The Merger—Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger.” One significant conflict relates to the fact that certain shares of Hyde Park common stock held by Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors (which shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), will likely become worthless if the merger is not completed.

Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger

When you consider the recommendation of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers in favor of approval of the merger proposal and the other proposals, you should keep in mind that Santa Maria Energy’s managers and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a unitholder. These interests include the vesting and payment of incentive awards held by members of its board of managers or its officers, discretionary payments related to of voluntary reductions in salaries of the officers, the conversion of preferred units in Santa Maria Energy held by the Kayne Investors into shares of preferred stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation that has certain control and preferential payment rights and the payment of cash bonuses to certain officers based on performance criteria that will likely be met if the merger is consummated. For additional information on the interests of Santa Maria Energy’s managers, officers and others in the merger, see “The Merger—Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger.”

Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger

Consummation of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Hyde Park’s and Santa Maria Energy’s obligations to consummate the merger are subject, among other things, to:

• Hyde Park’s stockholders approving the Merger Agreement and the merger;

• Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders approving the Merger Agreement and the merger;

• Hyde Park having at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders; and

• other customary closing conditions.

If permitted under applicable law, either Hyde Park or Santa Maria Energy may waive conditions for their own respective benefit and consummate the merger even though one or more of these conditions have not been

24

met. The condition requiring approval of the merger by Hyde Park’s stockholders will not be waived by Hyde Park. Hyde Park’s board of directors will resolicit stockholder approval of the merger if either party waives a material condition to the Merger Agreement or such changes in the terms of the merger render the disclosure previously provided incomplete or misleading in any material respect.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances prior to the closing, including by reason of Hyde Park’s failure to obtain stockholder approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger, Santa Maria Energy’s failure to obtain unitholder approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger, the parties’ failure to complete the closing on or prior to May 1, 2014, the failure of Hyde Park to have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, and certain breaches of the Merger Agreement.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger are discussed in the section entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The merger will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since immediately following the consummation of the merger, the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy immediately prior to the merger will have control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation through their approximate 61.2% stockholder interest in the post-merger company, assuming no share conversion and no Private Equity Financing (71.3% in the event of maximum share conversion). In addition, Santa Maria Energy unitholders will maintain control of the post-merger company through control of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation board of directors by maintaining four of the seven board seats for an expected term ranging from one to three years. Additionally, all of Santa Maria Energy’s senior executives will serve as officers of Santa Maria Energy Corporation after the consummation of the merger. For accounting purposes, Santa Maria Energy will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the merger and, consequently, the merger will be treated as a recapitalization of Santa Maria Energy. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become the historical financial statements of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and Hyde Park’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become consolidated with Santa Maria Energy effective as of the closing date of the merger. No step-up in basis or intangible assets will be recorded in this transaction. All direct costs of the merger will be charged to operations in the period that such costs are incurred.

Regulatory Matters

The merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any federal, state or provincial regulatory requirement or approval.

Listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation Common Stock

Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to apply to list the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received by Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders in the merger on NASDAQ under the symbol “SMEC”.

Comparison of Security holders’ Rights

As a result of the merger, the holders of Hyde Park common stock and Santa Maria Energy units will become holders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation stock. Following the merger, Hyde Park stockholders and

25

Santa Maria Energy unitholders will have different rights as stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation than they had as stockholders of Hyde Park or unitholders of Santa Maria Energy due to the different provisions of the governing documents of Hyde Park, Santa Maria Energy and Santa Maria Energy Corporation. For a summary of the material differences among the rights of Hyde Park stockholders, Santa Maria Energy unitholders and Santa Maria Energy Corporation stockholders, see “Comparison of Securityholders’ Rights.”

Private Equity Financing by Santa Maria Energy Corporation

Prior to the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy Corporation commenced a private placement of securities (the “Private Equity Financing”) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing, when combined with the cash held in Hyde Park’s trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders will not exceed $150 million. To the extent that the Private Equity Financing is other than a sale of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock at $10.50 or more per share, such Private Equity Financing will require the prior consent of Hyde Park. The Private Equity Financing is contingent upon the consummation of the merger, but the merger is not contingent upon completion of the Private Equity Financing. Information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy shares in the Private Equity Financing. The shares sold in the Private Equity Financing will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

(1) “Adjusted EBITDA,” as used and defined by Santa Maria Energy, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company’s capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, and working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations. However,

28

Santa Maria Energy’s management team believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating Santa Maria Energy’s financial performance because this measure:

• is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;

• helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of Santa Maria Energy’s operations from period to period by removing the effect of Santa Maria Energy’s capital structure from its operating results; and

• is used by Santa Maria Energy’s management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to its board of managers, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting and by Santa Maria Energy’s lenders pursuant to covenants under its senior credit facility.

There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect Santa Maria Energy’s net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. The following table represents a reconciliation of Santa Maria Energy’s net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

(1) Average sales prices shown reflect both of the before and after effects of Santa Maria Energy’s settled derivatives. Santa Maria Energy’s calculation of such effects includes realized gains or losses on settlements for commodity derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting because Santa Maria Energy does not designate them as hedges.

The following table summarizes Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves, related standardized measure and PV-10 at December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 based on SEC pricing methods.

Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves and PV-10 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 are based on evaluations prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”), an independent petroleum engineering firm. Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves and PV-10 as of December 31, 2011 were based on evaluations prepared by Gaffney, Cline & Associates (“GCA”), an independent petroleum engineering firm. Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves prepared (as applicable) by NSAI or GCA, which Santa Maria Energy collectively refers to as its independent petroleum engineering firm, are disclosed in the summary reports of NSAI and GCA filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. See “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Oil and Natural Gas Data” for definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves and the technologies and economic data used in their estimation.

The information in the following table does not give any effect to or reflect Santa Maria Energy’s commodity hedges. In accordance with SEC and FASB requirements, Santa Maria Energy’s net proved reserves and standardized measure were determined using prices based on a 12-month average price calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for the preceding twelve month period. The unweighted arithmetic average of the net oil price on the first day of each month of the twelve-month period can be found in the table below. Prices were adjusted by lease for transportation and regional price differences; however, they were not adjusted to reflect the value of any commodity hedges.

(1) Volumes and values were determined using actual net prices received at the wellhead, adjusted for transportation, gathering, processing, compression and other costs, in accordance with the pricing for oil and natural gas described above.

(2) All of Santa Maria Energy’s estimated probable and possible reserves are classified as undeveloped.

(3) PV-10 was prepared using SEC pricing discounted at 10% per annum, without giving effect to income taxes or hedges. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. Santa Maria Energy believes that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to its investors as supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure of future net cash flows, or after tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to Santa Maria Energy’s reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes and Santa Maria Energy’s current tax structure. While the standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV-10 is based on a pricing methodology and discount factors that are consistent for all companies. Moreover, GAAP does not provide a measure of estimated future net cash flows for reserves other than proved reserves or for proved, probable or possible reserves calculated using prices other than SEC prices. PV-10 does not take into account the effect of future income taxes, and PV-10 estimates for reserve categories other than proved but PV-10 is otherwise calculated using the same assumptions as those for, and in a manner consistent with, the calculation of standardized measure. Because PV-10 estimates of probable and possible reserves are more uncertain than PV-10 and standardized measure of proved reserves and have not been adjusted for risk due to that uncertainty, they may not be comparable with each other. Nonetheless, Santa Maria Energy believes that PV-10 estimates for reserve categories other than proved present useful information for investors about the future net cash flows of its reserves in the absence of a comparable GAAP measure such as standardized measure. Because of this, PV-10 can be used within the industry and by creditors and securities analysts to evaluate estimated net cash flows from proved reserves on a more comparable basis. Investors should be cautioned that neither PV-10 nor standardized measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves. In addition, investors should be further cautioned that estimates of PV-10 of probable reserves, as well as the underlying volumetric estimates, are inherently more uncertain of being recovered and realized than comparable measures for proved reserves, and that the uncertainty for possible reserves is even more significant. Further, because estimates of probable and possible reserve volumes and PV-10 have not been adjusted for risk due to this uncertainty of recovery, they should not be summed arithmetically with each other or with comparable estimates for proved reserves. GAAP does not prescribe any corresponding measure for PV-10 of probable and possible reserves or reserves based on other than SEC prices. As a result, it is not practicable for Santa Maria Energy to reconcile these additional PV-10 measures to GAAP

31

standardized measure. For a reconciliation of PV-10 of proved reserves based on SEC pricing to standardized measure, see “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves.”

(4) Reserves at December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were prepared in accordance with SEC requirements for pricing.

	At December 31,
	2011		2012		2013
Oil and natural gas prices:
Oil ($/Bbl) (a)	$	104.01	$	104.28	$	100.51
Natural gas ($/MMBtu) (a)	$	2.76	$	1.78	$	1.78

(a) Prices reflected in this table represent the average of oil and natural gas prices used in each respective reserve report for the given reporting period. Oil and natural gas prices used at December 31, 2011 by GCA and oil prices used at December 31, 2012 and 2013 by NSAI were based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period of January through December for each of the periods presented and are based on SEC requirements for pricing. The prices above have been adjusted for quality and basis differences that are representative of the net oil price received by Santa Maria Energy. The natural gas prices used at December 31, 2012 and 2013 by NSAI are based upon a fixed price which was mutually determined by Santa Maria Energy and a third party.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA OF SANTA MARIA ENERGY AND HYDE PARK

The following unaudited financial information has been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated and combined financial statements of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy to reflect the merger and the Private Equity Financing.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 (the “pro forma balance sheet”) gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013.

Hyde Park stockholders may exercise conversion rights pursuant to which they will have the right to receive cash (approximately $10.50 per share) instead of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock if the merger is consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the merger will not be consummated if Hyde Park has less than $40 million of cash in its trust account after exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders.

Prior to the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy Corporation commenced the Private Equity Financing. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing, when combined with the cash held in Hyde Park’s trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, will not exceed $150 million. Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to close the Private Equity Financing substantially concurrently with the consummation of the merger. Santa Maria Energy may not receive sufficient proceeds from the Private Equity Financing to fund its capital expenditures program or may not be able to complete the Private Equity Financing or another private placement on favorable terms or at all. Please see “Summary—Private Equity Financing by Santa Maria Energy Corporation.”

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared using four assumed scenarios, based on the number of Hyde Park stockholders that exercise their conversion rights and the funds received by Santa Maria Energy Corporation in the Private Equity Financing:

• Assuming No Conversion: This presentation assumes that no Hyde Park public stockholders seek to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account and that the Private Equity Financing is not consummated. In this scenario, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will have approximately $79 million in cash, representing the amount held in Hyde Park’s trust account as of December 31, 2013.

• Assuming Maximum Conversion: This presentation assumes that $40 million of cash is held in Hyde Park’s trust account as a result of the holders of 3,690,476 IPO shares exercising their conversion rights. If any greater number of IPO shares are converted, then a condition to closing the merger will not be met and the merger will not be consummated. This presentation also assumes that the Private Equity Financing is not consummated.

• Assuming No Conversion and Minimum Private Equity Financing: This presentation assumes that no Hyde Park public stockholders seek to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account (resulting in approximately $79 million in cash remaining in Hyde Park’s trust account upon consummation of the merger) and that Santa Maria Energy raises an additional approximate $71 million in the Private Equity Financing transaction (resulting in the sum of the amount held in Hyde Park’s trust account together with the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing being equal to $150 million, or the maximum amount that is permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement).

• Assuming Maximum Conversion and Maximum Private Equity Financing: This presentation assumes that $40 million of cash is held in Hyde Park’s trust account as a result of the holders of 3,690,476 IPO shares exercising their conversion rights and that Santa Maria Energy raises an additional approximate $110 million in the Private Equity Financing transaction (resulting in the sum of the amount held in

33

Hyde Park’s trust account together with the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing being equal to $150 million, or the maximum amount that is permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement).

All scenarios assume that $19.4 million of the resulting cash available to Santa Maria Energy Corporation is used to retire debt under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility. Changes in the number of Hyde Park shares converted and the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing will affect cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total liabilities and equity.

The merger of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since immediately following the consummation of the merger, the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy immediately prior to the business combination will have control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation through their approximate 61.2% stockholder interest in the post-merger company, assuming no share conversion and no Private Equity Financing.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any adjustments for cost savings that are anticipated to be realized from the elimination of the Hyde Park operating expenses. Since its inception, Hyde Park’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities related to its initial public offering, activities related to the identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and activities relating to general corporate matters.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any adjustments for incremental general and administrative costs which are anticipated to be incurred by Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a public reporting company. These incremental expenses, estimated to be approximately $3,000,000 per year, include compensation and benefit expense for certain additional personnel, fees paid to the independent auditors, legal advisors, the independent petroleum engineering firm and other professional advisors, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental costs for director and officer liability insurance and director compensation.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the merger been consummated on the dates or for the periods indicated and do not purport to indicate balance sheet data or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read together with the historical financial statements of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Hyde Park” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Santa Maria Energy” included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Pro Forma Adjustments (In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share amounts):

(1) To eliminate interest expense resulting from the assumed repayment of Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility and notes payable.

(2) To record the income tax benefit of pro forma adjustments.

(3) To eliminate expenses related to the merger transaction that are non-recurring and will not have a continuing effect on the combined company. Such expenses incurred for the year ending December 31, 2013 were approximately $1,397,000 and $589,000 for Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park, respectively.

Pro Forma Notes (In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data):

(A) Under the Merger Agreement, it is a condition to the consummation of the merger that after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million in cash in its trust account. As a result, the holders of no more than 3,690,476 shares of Hyde Park common stock can exercise their conversion rights in order for this condition to be met. If the maximum level of conversion took place, Hyde Park would be required to pay cash of $38,749,998 for the conversion of Hyde Park common stock.

(B) Pro forma entries are recorded to the extent they are a direct result of the merger or the Private Equity Financing, have a continuing impact on the combined company and are factually supportable.

(C) The expenses related to the merger transaction have not been recorded because they are non-recurring and would be reflected on the Santa Maria Energy Corporation income statement within the following year.

42

(D) As the merger is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares outstanding as a result of the merger have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of shares is converted, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. Shares surrendered and cancelled have been excluded from the calculation of pro forma earnings per share for the entire period. For purposes of determining potentially dilutive securities, the most recent trading price for Hyde Park’s common stock of $10.49 on February 14, 2014 was utilized. Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as follows:

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, before making a decision on the merger proposal or the other proposals presented. As a stockholder of Santa Maria Energy Corporation following the consummation of the merger, you will be subject to all risks inherent in the business of Santa Maria Energy. The market value of your shares will reflect the performance of the business relative to, among other things, that of the competitors of Santa Maria Energy and general economic, market and industry conditions. The value of your investment may increase or may decline and could result in a loss. You should carefully consider the following factors as well as the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy

The risk factors set forth below are not the only risks that may affect Santa Maria Energy’s business. Santa Maria Energy’s business could also be affected by additional risks not currently known to it or that it currently deems to be immaterial. If any of the following risks were actually to occur, Santa Maria Energy’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and declines in prices could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s business, financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flow.

Santa Maria Energy’s future financial condition, revenues, results of operations, rate of growth and the carrying amount of its oil and natural gas properties depend primarily upon the prices it receives for its oil and natural gas production and the prices prevailing from time to time for oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile, and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future, especially given current geopolitical conditions. This price volatility also affects the amount of cash flow Santa Maria Energy has available for capital expenditures and its ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of factors beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control, including:

• the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas;

• the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas and the productive capacity of the industry as a whole;

• proximity, availability and capacity of oil and natural gas gathering systems, pipelines, rail cars, other transportation methods and commodity processing and refining facilities;

• the price and level of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;

• developments of the energy infrastructure in the United States, including pipelines;

• the actions of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and their ability to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

• the global and domestic credit, financial and economic environment;

• domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;

• the fluctuation of the United States dollar against other currencies;

• the price and availability of competitors’ oil and natural gas supplies in captive markets and of alternative fuel sources;

• weather conditions;

• political and economic conditions, embargoes and political instability, insurgency, terrorism or war in oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East, Africa and South America, or otherwise affecting other oil and natural gas activities;

47

• technological advances affecting energy production and consumption;

• variations between product prices at sales points and applicable index prices;

• acts of force majeure; and

• new U.S. federal government approvals for the export of natural gas.

These factors and the volatility of oil and natural gas markets make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would reduce Santa Maria Energy’s revenues and could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that it can produce economically, which could lower its recognized reserve quantities and could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Future oil and natural gas price declines may result in write-downs of the carrying amount of Santa Maria Energy’s assets, which could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and limit its ability to borrow funds.

The value of Santa Maria Energy’s assets depends on oil and natural gas prices. Declines in oil prices and increases in natural gas prices as well as increases in development costs, changes in well performance, delays in asset development or deterioration of drilling results may result in it having to make material downward adjustments to its estimated proved reserves, and accounting rules may require Santa Maria Energy to write-down, and incur a corresponding non-cash charge to earnings, the carrying amount of Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas properties for impairments. A write-down constitutes a non-cash charge to earnings. Santa Maria Energy may incur impairment charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations for the periods in which such charges are taken.

The borrowing base of Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility is subject to semi-annual redeterminations in May and October of each year, based on the value of its oil and natural gas properties, in accordance with the lenders’ customary procedures and practices. Santa Maria Energy and the lenders each have a right to one additional redetermination each year. As of February 14, 2014, the borrowing base under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility was $13.0 million and total lender commitments were $24.0 million. Declines in oil prices or increases in natural gas prices in the future could limit Santa Maria Energy’s borrowing base and reduce its ability to borrow under its senior credit facility. Additionally, divestitures of properties could result in a reduction of its borrowing base.

Santa Maria Energy requires substantial capital expenditures to conduct its operations, engage in acquisition activities and replace its production, and it may be unable to obtain financing on satisfactory terms necessary to execute its operating strategy.

The oil and natural gas industry is capital intensive. Santa Maria Energy requires substantial capital expenditures to conduct its production, development and exploration activities, engage in acquisition activities and replace its production. Historically, Santa Maria Energy has funded its capital expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under its senior credit facility and the capital markets. Upon receiving the necessary permits, Santa Maria Energy expects to engage in a 110-well expansion in the Orcutt Diatomite (“Orcutt Diatomite”) project in 2014. In addition, Santa Maria Energy plans to continue project development of the Northwest Casmalia Diatomite (“NW Casmalia”) field as well as the Santa Maria Valley Monterey (“Santa Maria Valley”) and the Orcutt Monterey (“Orcutt Monterey”) fields. These planned drilling activities will require significant additional capital. Santa Maria Energy’s initial estimate for its capital budget in 2014 is $120.7 million. Santa Maria Energy’s access to capital is subject to a number of factors, some of which are outside its control. These factors include, among others:

• its proved reserves;

• the amount of oil and natural gas Santa Maria Energy is able to produce from existing wells;

48

• the prices at which oil and natural gas are sold;

• the costs to produce oil and natural gas;

• the market value and performance of Santa Maria Energy’s securities; and

• the global and domestic credit, financial and economic environment.

If Santa Maria Energy’s cash flows from operations or the borrowing base under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility decrease as a result of lower oil prices or higher natural gas prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves or for any other reason, Santa Maria Energy may have limited ability to obtain the capital necessary to sustain its operations at current levels. Santa Maria Energy Corporation expects to use the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing (as defined elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus) to fund Santa Maria Energy’s drilling activities. Santa Maria Energy Corporation may not receive sufficient proceeds from the Private Equity Financing to fund its drilling activities, or may not be able to complete the Private Equity Financing or another private placement on favorable terms or at all. Further, its senior credit facility places certain restrictions on its ability to obtain new financing, and Santa Maria Energy may not be able to obtain new financing on terms favorable to it, or at all. In the event that Santa Maria Energy is only able to raise the $40 million minimum required to complete the merger, it would significantly modify its capital expenditure program. If cash generated by operations, the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing or borrowings under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility are not sufficient to meet its capital requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a curtailment of its development and exploration activities, which in turn could lead to a possible loss of properties and a decline in its oil and natural gas reserves as well as materially adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

The actual quantities and present values of Santa Maria Energy’s proved oil and natural gas reserves may be less than it has estimated.

It is not possible to measure underground accumulations of oil or natural gas in an exact way. Estimating accumulations of oil and natural gas is a complex process that relies on interpretations of available geologic, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, such as oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds, some of which are mandated by the SEC.

Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, production taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of producible oil and natural gas reserves will most likely vary from those estimated. Any significant variance could materially and adversely affect the estimated quantities of and present values related to Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves, and the actual quantities and present values may be less than it has previously estimated. In addition, Santa Maria Energy may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of development and exploration activities, prevailing oil and natural gas prices, costs to develop and operate properties and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. Its properties may also be susceptible to hydrocarbon drainage from production on adjacent properties.

Further, it should not be assumed that any present value of future net cash flows from Santa Maria Energy’s estimated proved reserves represents the market value of its estimated oil and natural gas reserves. Santa Maria Energy bases the estimated discounted future net cash flows from its estimated proved reserves on first-day-of-month average oil and natural gas prices for the twelve-month period preceding the estimate and on costs as of the date of the estimate. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. Actual future net revenues will be affected by factors such as the amount and timing of actual development expenditures, the rate and timing of production and changes in governmental regulations or taxes. In addition, the 10% discount factor used when calculating discounted future net cash flows may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates currently in effect and risks associated with Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas properties or the industry in general.

49

Approximately 86.7% of Santa Maria Energy’s total estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 were undeveloped, and those reserves may not ultimately be developed.

Recovery of undeveloped reserves generally requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Santa Maria Energy’s reserve estimates include the assumption that it will make significant capital expenditures to develop these undeveloped reserves and the actual costs, development schedule and results associated with these properties may not be as estimated. Santa Maria Energy’s management has specifically identified and scheduled drilling locations as an estimation of its future drilling activities on its existing acreage. These identified drilling locations represent a significant part of Santa Maria Energy’s growth strategy. Its ability to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of uncertainties, including the availability of capital, seasonal conditions, access rights and constraints, regulatory approvals, oil and natural gas prices, costs and drilling results. Because of these uncertainties, Santa Maria Energy does not know if the numerous non-proved drilling locations it has identified will ever be drilled or if it will be able to produce oil or natural gas from these or any other non-proved potential drilling locations. As such, Santa Maria Energy’s actual drilling activities may materially differ from those presently identified, which could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Santa Maria Energy depends on successful exploration, development and acquisitions to maintain reserves and revenue in the future.

Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. The rate of decline will change if production from Santa Maria Energy’s existing wells declines in a different manner than it has estimated. Its future oil and natural gas production is, therefore, highly dependent on its level of success in finding or acquiring additional reserves and efficiently developing and exploiting current reserves. Santa Maria Energy may not be able to develop, find or acquire additional reserves to replace its current and future production at acceptable costs. Unless Santa Maria Energy replaces its oil and natural gas reserves, its reserves and production will decline, which would materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and operating cash flows.

Market conditions or operational impediments may hinder Santa Maria Energy’s access to oil and natural gas markets or delay its production.

Market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may hinder Santa Maria Energy’s access to oil and natural gas markets or delay its production. The availability of a ready market for its oil and natural gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines, rail transportation and terminal facilities. Santa Maria Energy’s ability to market its production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines, processing facilities, trucking and rail capability and refineries owned and operated by third parties. It may be required to shut in wells for a lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of oil and natural gas pipelines, gathering system capacity, storage capacity, processing facilities or refineries. Decreased access to oil and natural gas markets or access to such markets on unacceptable terms could result in increased costs, decreased margins, decreased production, or other factors which could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s business, financial condition and results of operations and operating cash flows.

The inability of one or more of Santa Maria Energy’s customers to meet their obligations or a decision by its significant customers to stop purchasing from Santa Maria Energy may adversely affect its financial results.

Santa Maria Energy has significant concentrations of credit risk with the purchasers of its oil and natural gas. For example, all of Santa Maria Energy’s oil production is currently sold to one purchaser, Phillips 66 Company (“Phillips 66”), in California. If Phillips 66 decided not to purchase production from Santa Maria

50

Energy, then Santa Maria Energy may have difficulty finding other purchasers for its production on favorable terms or at all. If the purchasers of its oil and natural gas become insolvent, Santa Maria Energy may be unable to collect amounts owed to it, which could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Drilling is a high-risk activity, and as a result, Santa Maria Energy may not adhere to its proposed drilling schedule or its drilling program may not result in commercially productive reserves.

Santa Maria Energy’s future success will partly depend on the success of its drilling program. Although Santa Maria Energy has identified or budgeted for numerous drilling prospects, it may not be able to lease or drill those prospects within its expected time frame, or at all. Santa Maria Energy’s decisions to explore, develop or otherwise exploit prospects or properties will depend on a number of factors, including:

• results of its exploration efforts and the acquisition, review and analysis of seismic data, if any;

• availability of sufficient capital resources to Santa Maria Energy and any other participants for the drilling of the prospects;

• approval of the prospects by other participants after additional data has been compiled;

• economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas and the availability and prices of drilling rigs and crews;

• availability of leases, license options, farm-outs, other rights to explore and permits on reasonable terms for the prospects;

• overruns in budgeted expenditures and future costs of drilling and completing wells; and

• regulatory entitlement to drill and develop its assets.

Additionally, Santa Maria Energy’s drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including:

• unexpected drilling conditions;

• well integrity issues and/or surface expressions;

• pressure or irregularities in formations;

• equipment failures or accidents;

• adverse weather conditions;

• changes in regulations;

• compliance with governmental or landowner requirements;

• disputes with mineral interest or surface owners and access constraints or limitations on surface use on or near its operating areas;

• loss of title or other title related issues;

• availability, capacity, costs and contractual terms with respect to pipelines, rail transportation and facilities to gather, process, compress, transport and market oil and natural gas; and

• shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs and the delivery of equipment and/or services, including experienced labor.

Santa Maria Energy’s drilling plans require discretionary approvals and drilling permits from state, local and other governmental authorities. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and drilling permits, including delays which jeopardize Santa Maria Energy’s ability to realize the potential benefits from leased properties

51

within the applicable lease periods, the failure to obtain a drilling permit for a well or the receipt of a permit with unreasonable conditions or costs could have a material and adverse effect on its ability to explore on or develop its properties.

Shortages of oilfield equipment, services and qualified personnel could delay Santa Maria Energy’s drilling program and increase the prices it pays to obtain such equipment, services and personnel.

The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations such as geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages. Historically, there have been shortages of drilling and workover rigs, pipe and other oilfield equipment as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled. These factors also cause significant increases in costs for equipment, services and personnel. Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate demand and result in increased prices for drilling and workover rigs, crews and associated supplies, equipment and services. It is beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control and ability to predict whether these conditions will exist in the future and, if so, what their timing and duration will be. The availability of drilling rigs can vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. Although land drilling rigs can be moved from one region to another in response to changes in levels of demand, an undersupply of rigs in any region may result in drilling delays and higher drilling costs for the rigs that are available in that region. These types of shortages or price increases could restrict Santa Maria Energy’s ability to drill planned wells, conduct planned operations, or could otherwise materially and adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows. In addition, California regulatory authorities require more stringent standards on drilling rigs which decreases the ability to move rigs into California from other areas of the country.

The geographic concentration and other characteristics of Santa Maria Energy’s oil reserves may have a negative effect on its ability to sell its production.

All of Santa Maria Energy’s reserves are located in California. Any regional events, including price fluctuations, natural disasters and restrictive regulations that increase costs, reduce availability of equipment or supplies, reduce demand or limit its production, may impact its operations more than if its reserves were more geographically diversified. California oil production is, on average, heavier than premium grade light oil and the margin (sales price minus production costs) is generally less than that of lighter oil sales due to the processes required to refine this type of oil and the transportation requirements. As such, the effect of material price decreases will more adversely affect the profitability of heavy oil production compared with lighter grades of oil.

A shortage of natural gas or increase in the price of natural gas in California could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s business.

The development of Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite oil projects in California are subject to its ability to make sufficient quantities of steam at an economic cost. Santa Maria Energy may be subject to the risks associated with a shortage of natural gas and/or the transportation of natural gas into and within California. Santa Maria Energy is highly dependent on sufficient volumes of natural gas necessary to use for fuel in generating steam in its Diatomite oil operations in California. If the required volume of natural gas for use in its operations were to be unavailable or too highly priced to produce Diatomite oil economically, its production could be materially and adversely impacted.

Santa Maria Energy may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired operations, and any inability to do so may disrupt its business and hinder its ability to grow.

Santa Maria Energy’s business strategy has emphasized growth through strategic acquisitions. It may not be able to continue to identify properties for acquisition or it may not be able to make acquisitions on terms that it considers economically acceptable. There is intense competition for acquisition opportunities in the industry.

52

Competition for acquisitions may increase the cost of, or cause Santa Maria Energy to refrain from completing, acquisitions. Santa Maria Energy’s strategy of completing acquisitions is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to obtain debt and equity financing and, in some cases, regulatory approvals. If Santa Maria Energy is unable to achieve strategic acquisitions, its ability to replace reserves and production and growth may be impaired, thus impacting its financial condition, results of operations, operating cash flows and reserves. In addition, Santa Maria Energy may have difficulty integrating the operations, systems, management and other personnel and technology of acquired assets or businesses with its own. These difficulties could disrupt its ongoing business, distract management and employees, increase its expenses and adversely affect its results of operations. In addition, Santa Maria Energy may incur additional debt or issue additional equity to pay for any future acquisitions, which issuances may be substantial and could significantly affect its liquidity, ability to service debt and risk profile. Significant acquisitions or other transactions could change or alter the character of Santa Maria Energy’s operations and business if the character of acquired properties is different from that of its current properties.

Acquisitions are subject to the uncertainties of evaluating recoverable reserves and potential liabilities.

Santa Maria Energy’s recent growth is due in part to acquisitions of properties with additional development potential and properties with production at acquisition but significant growth potential, and it expects acquisitions will continue to contribute to its future growth. Successful acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors, many of which are beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control. These factors include: recoverable reserves, exploration potential, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, production taxes, access and development rights and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. In connection with Santa Maria Energy’s assessments, it performs a review of the acquired properties. However, such a review will not reveal all existing or potential problems. In addition, Santa Maria Energy’s review may not allow it to become sufficiently familiar with the properties, and Santa Maria Energy does not always discover structural, subsurface, environmental and access problems that may exist or arise. Santa Maria Energy’s review prior to signing a definitive purchase agreement may be even more limited.

There may be threatened or contemplated claims against the assets or businesses Santa Maria Energy acquires related to environmental, title, regulatory, tax, contract, litigation or other matters of which it is unaware, which could materially and adversely affect its production, revenues and results of operations. Santa Maria Energy may not be entitled to contractual indemnification for pre-closing liabilities, including environmental liabilities, on acquisitions. It may acquire interests in properties on an “as is” basis with limited remedies for breaches of representations and warranties. If material breaches are discovered by Santa Maria Energy prior to closing, it could require adjustments to the purchase price or, if the claims are significant, Santa Maria Energy or the seller may have a right to terminate the agreement. If Santa Maria Energy fails to discover breaches or defects prior to closing, it may incur significant unknown liabilities, including environmental liabilities, for which it would have limited or no contractual remedies or insurance coverage.

Santa Maria Energy may incur losses as a result of title deficiencies.

Santa Maria Energy acquires working and revenue interests in the oil and natural gas leases and estates upon which it will perform its exploration activities from third parties, or directly from the mineral fee owners. The existence of a material title deficiency can reduce the value or render a property worthless, thus materially and adversely affecting Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flow. Title insurance covering mineral leaseholds is not always available, and when available is not always obtained. In cases involving material title problems, the amount paid for affected oil and natural gas leases or estates can be generally lost, and a prospect can become undrillable.

53

Santa Maria Energy may incur material losses and be subject to material liability claims as a result of its oil and natural gas operations. In addition, it may not be insured for, or its insurance may be inadequate to protect it against, these risks.

Oil and natural gas operations are subject to many risks, including fires, explosions, well blowouts, surface expressions, uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas, formation water or drilling fluids, adverse weather, freezing conditions, natural disasters, pipe or cement failures, casing collapse, embedded oilfield drilling and service tools, formations with abnormal pressures, major equipment failures, including cogeneration facilities, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental risks and hazards. The occurrence of these events could also impact other parties within the area of Santa Maria Energy’s operations, including its employees, employees of its contractors and neighbors, leading to injuries, death, environmental damage, property damage, or suspension of operations. As a result, Santa Maria Energy faces the possibility of liabilities from these events that could adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations as well as regulatory actions and adverse publicity that could lead to delays in or cessation of its operations in the affected area and loss of related assets or revenues.

Under certain circumstances, Santa Maria Energy may be liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners or operators of properties that it owns, leases or operates. As a result, Santa Maria Energy may incur material liabilities to third parties or governmental entities, which could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions, or cause it to incur losses.

Santa Maria Energy maintains insurance against some, but not all, of these potential risks and losses. Santa Maria Energy may elect not to obtain insurance if it believes that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. Santa Maria Energy currently has insurance policies covering its operations that include coverage for general liability, excess liability, physical damage to its oil and natural gas properties, operational control of wells, oil pollution, third-party liability, workers’ compensation and employers’ liability and other coverage. There can be no assurance that its operations will not expose Santa Maria Energy to liabilities exceeding such insurance coverage or to liabilities not covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Execution of derivative contracts for a portion of its oil production and natural gas consumption exposes Santa Maria Energy to the risk of financial loss and may result in it making cash payments or prevent it from receiving the full benefit of increases in oil prices or decreases in natural gas prices, causing volatility in its reported earnings.

Santa Maria Energy uses derivative instruments to manage its commodity price risk for a portion of its oil production and natural gas consumption. This practice may prevent Santa Maria Energy from receiving the full advantage of increases in oil prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in its derivative contracts or, conversely, receive the full benefit of decreases in natural gas prices below the maximum fixed amount specified in its derivative contracts. The derivative instruments also expose it to the risks of financial loss in a variety of circumstances, including when:

• a counterparty to the derivative contract is unable to satisfy its obligations;

• production is delayed or less than expected;

• consumption of natural gas is delayed or less than expected; or

• there is an adverse change in the expected differential between the underlying price in the derivative instrument and actual prices received for Santa Maria Energy’s production.

The level of derivative activity depends on Santa Maria Energy’s view of market conditions, available derivative prices and Santa Maria Energy’s operating strategy.

54

See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Santa Maria Energy—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for a summary of Santa Maria Energy’s current derivative positions. Since all of its derivative contracts are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting, Santa Maria Energy expects continued volatility in derivative gains or losses on its income statement as changes occur in the ICE price index.

The adoption of derivatives legislation by Congress, and implementation of that legislation by federal agencies, could adversely impact Santa Maria Energy’s ability to engage in commodity price risk management activities.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new regulatory framework for federal oversight of derivatives transactions by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, and the SEC and requires the CFTC, the SEC and other regulatory agencies to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the legislation, which they have done since late 2010 and are expected to continue to do well into 2014. From late 2010 and continuing to the present date, the CFTC has introduced dozens of proposed rules and has promulgated numerous final rules based on those proposals. The effect of the proposed and final rules and any additional regulations on Santa Maria Energy’s business is not yet entirely clear, but the costs of derivatives-based hedging for commodities will likely increase for all market participants.

The new regulations may require Santa Maria Energy to comply with certain margin requirements for its over-the-counter derivative contracts with certain CFTC- or SEC-registered entities. This may make it necessary for Santa Maria Energy to enter into credit support documentation and/or post significant amounts of cash collateral, which could adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s liquidity and ability to use derivatives to hedge its commercial price risk; however, the proposed margin rules are not yet final and therefore the application of those provisions to Santa Maria Energy is uncertain at this time. The Dodd-Frank Act also contemplates that where appropriate in light of outstanding exposures, trading liquidity and other factors, swaps (broadly defined to include most hedging instruments other than futures) will be required to be cleared through a registered clearing facility and traded on a designated exchange or swap execution facility. On July 19, 2012, the CFTC adopted final regulations to govern the exception to the clearing requirement available to swap counterparties meeting certain conditions under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. This exception provides that the clearing requirement shall not apply to a swap if one of the counterparties to the swap (i) is not a financial entity, (ii) is using swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk and (iii) notifies the CFTC how it generally meets its financial obligations associated with entering into non-cleared swaps, the requirements together referred to as the “End-user Exception.” Although Santa Maria Energy believes that its trades will generally qualify for the End-user Exception, its derivatives counterparties for uncleared trades will be subject to new compliance and capital, margin and business conduct standards and any of their trades may also be subject to the clearing requirement which could have a material impact on Santa Maria Energy’s hedging activities resulting from increased transaction costs. Rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act further defined forwards as well as instances where forwards may become swaps. Because the CFTC rules, interpretations, no-action letters and case law are still developing, it is possible that some arrangements that previously qualified as forwards, spots or energy service contracts may fall in the regulatory category of swaps or options. In addition, the CFTC’s rules applicable to trade options may further impose burdens on Santa Maria Energy’s ability to conduct its traditional hedging program and could become subject to CFTC investigations in the future.

A widening of commodity differentials may materially and adversely impact Santa Maria Energy’s revenues and its economics.

The oil and natural gas Santa Maria Energy produces, or the natural gas it consumes, is priced in local markets where production occurs and is based on local or regional supply and demand factors as well as other local market dynamics, such as regional storage capacity and transportation. The prices that Santa Maria Energy receives for its oil and natural gas production are generally, but not always, lower than the relevant benchmark

55

prices, such as NYMEX or Brent, that are used for calculating commodity derivative positions. The difference between the benchmark price and the price it receives is called a differential.

Santa Maria Energy may be unable to accurately predict oil and natural gas differentials, which may widen significantly in the future. Numerous factors may influence local commodity pricing, such as refinery capacity, pipeline takeaway capacity and specifications, localized storage capacity, upsets in the midstream or downstream sectors of the industry, trade restrictions and governmental regulations. Santa Maria Energy may be materially and adversely impacted by a widening differential on the products it sells. Santa Maria Energy’s commodity hedging contracts are typically based on Brent or other oil or natural gas index prices. As a result, it may be subject to “basis risk” if the differential on products it sells widens from the benchmarks used in its commodity hedging contracts. Additionally, regional capacity and storage issues may cause benchmark prices to become disconnected from regional oil and natural gas prices which may materially and adversely affect its ability to hedge using contracts based on such indices. Insufficient pipeline capacity, storage capacity or trucking or rail transportation capability and the lack of demand in any given operating area may cause the differential to widen in that area compared to other oil and natural gas producing areas. Increases in the differential between benchmark prices for oil and natural gas and the wellhead price Santa Maria Energy receives could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, results of operation and operating cash flows.

Under the “full cost” accounting method, Santa Maria Energy reviews the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties quarterly.

Under “full cost” accounting rules, for each cost center, capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization and related deferred income taxes) may not exceed a “ceiling” equal to:

• the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, net of estimated future income taxes; plus

• the cost of unproved properties not being amortized; plus

• the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (net of related tax effects).

These rules generally require that Santa Maria Energy price its future oil and natural gas production at the trailing twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. Prior to the new rules, Santa Maria Energy was required to price its future oil and natural gas production at prices in effect at the end of each fiscal quarter. Such prices are utilized except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts, including derivative contracts that qualify and are designated for hedge accounting treatment. The derivative instruments Santa Maria Energy has in place are not classified as hedges for accounting purposes. The rules require an impairment if Santa Maria Energy’s capitalized costs exceed this “ceiling.” The revised pricing in ceiling test impairment calculations may cause results that are not indicated by market conditions existing at the end of an accounting period. For example, in periods of increasing oil and natural gas prices, the use of a twelve-month average price in the ceiling test calculation may result in impairment when the use of the single-day quarter-end price would not. Conversely, in times of declining prices, ceiling test calculations may not result in an impairment that would be reported had the lower single-day quarter-end prices been used.

Changes to current income tax laws may affect Santa Maria Energy’s ability to take certain deductions.

Substantive changes to the existing federal income tax laws have been proposed that, if adopted, would affect, among other things, Santa Maria Energy’s ability to take certain deductions related to its operations, including depletion deductions, deductions for intangible drilling and development costs and deductions for United States production activities. These changes, if enacted into law, could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

56

Competition within the oil and natural gas industry is intense and may materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s operations.

Santa Maria Energy operates in a highly competitive environment. It competes with major and independent oil and natural gas companies in acquiring desirable oil and natural gas properties and in obtaining the equipment and labor required to develop and operate such properties. Santa Maria Energy also competes with major and independent oil and natural gas companies in the marketing, sale and/or purchase of oil and natural gas, including those located in or with operations in California. Many of its competitors are larger, fully integrated energy companies that have financial, staff and other resources substantially greater than Santa Maria Energy’s, may be less leveraged than Santa Maria Energy and have a lower cost of capital. As a result, its competitors may have greater access to capital and may be able to pay more for development prospects and producing properties, or evaluate and bid for a greater number of properties and prospects than Santa Maria Energy’s financial and staffing resources permit. Santa Maria Energy’s competitors may be able to expend greater resources on changing technologies that are increasingly important to efficiency and success in the industry and may also have a greater ability to continue drilling activities during periods of low oil and natural gas prices or to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations. Also, international developments and potentially improving economics of oil exploration may influence other companies to increase their domestic oil and natural gas exploration. From time to time, Santa Maria Energy has to compete with financial investors in the property acquisition market, including private equity sponsors with more funds and access to additional liquidity. Many of these competitors have financial and other resources substantially greater than does Santa Maria Energy.

During 2013, the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry experienced continued strong demand for drilling services and supplies which resulted in increasing costs. Factors affecting competition in the industry include price, location of drilling, availability of drilling prospects and drilling rigs, pipeline capacity, quality of production and volumes produced. In addition, oil and natural gas producers are increasingly facing competition from providers of alternative energy, and government policy may favor those competitors in the future. Santa Maria Energy can give no assurance that it will be able to compete effectively in the future, which could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Santa Maria Energy may not be able to keep pace with technological developments in the oil and natural gas industry.

The oil and natural gas industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies. As Santa Maria Energy’s competitors use or develop new technologies, Santa Maria Energy may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force it to implement those new technologies at substantial cost. In addition, other oil and natural gas companies may have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that allow them to utilize technological advantages and may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before Santa Maria Energy can. Santa Maria Energy may not be able to respond to these competitive pressures and implement new technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. If one or more of the technologies that Santa Maria Energy uses now or in the future were to become obsolete or if Santa Maria Energy were unable to use the most advanced commercially available technology, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas operations are subject to various environmental and other governmental laws and regulations that may materially affect its operations.

Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may be changed in response to economic, political or other conditions. There can be no assurance that present or future regulations will not materially and adversely affect its business and operations. Matters subject to regulation include the following:

• require the acquisition of various permits before drilling commences;

57

• require the installation of expensive pollution control equipment;

• limit or prohibit drilling activities on lands lying within environmentally sensitive areas, wetlands and other protected areas;

• discharge permits for drilling operations;

• reports concerning operations;

• well spacing;

• unitization and pooling of properties; and

• taxation.

Part of the regulatory environment includes state requirements for obtaining environmental assessments, environmental impact studies and/or plans of development before commencing exploration and production activities. In addition, Santa Maria Energy’s activities are subject to federal regulation of conservation practices. These regulations affect Santa Maria Energy’s operations, increase its costs of exploration and production and limit the quantity of oil and natural gas that it can produce and market. A major risk inherent in Santa Maria Energy’s drilling plans is the need to obtain discretionary permits from state and local authorities. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, drilling permits, the failure to obtain a drilling permit for a well or the receipt of a permit with unreasonable conditions or costs could have a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy’s ability to explore on or develop its properties. Additionally, the oil and natural gas regulatory environment could change in ways that might substantially increase Santa Maria Energy’s financial and managerial costs to comply with the requirements of these laws and regulations and, consequently, adversely affect its profitability. Furthermore, these additional costs may put Santa Maria Energy at a competitive disadvantage compared to larger companies in the industry which can spread such additional costs over a greater number of wells and larger operating staff.

Many of the laws and regulations to which Santa Maria Energy’s operations are subject focus on the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of materials into the water and air, the generation, management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the clean-up of contaminated sites. Santa Maria Energy may be required to incur material operating costs or significant additional capital expenditures in order to comply with environmental regulations and in connection with obtaining and maintaining construction and operating permits and approvals from federal, state and local regulatory agencies. The costs related to compliance with environmental regulations could include costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances or to comply with regulatory reporting requirements. Santa Maria Energy could also incur material costs, including clean-up costs, fines and civil and criminal sanctions and third-party claims for property damage and personal injury as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations not only expose Santa Maria Energy to liability for its own activities, but may also expose it to liability for the conduct of others or for actions by Santa Maria Energy that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time those actions were taken. Some of Santa Maria Energy’s California fields have been in operation for more than 100 years, and current or future local, state and federal environmental and other laws and regulations may require substantial expenditures to remediate the properties or to otherwise comply with these laws and regulations.

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of Santa Maria Energy’s operations and subject it to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. In addition, changes in interpretations of or enforcement of existing laws may cause Santa Maria Energy to incur substantial expenditures. Operating in densely populated regions may expose Santa Maria Energy to additional risk of regulation, as well as claims by property owners and others affected by such operations. See “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Regulations” for additional information on the effect of environmental laws and regulations and for more detail on both current and potential governmental regulation.

Regulations related to global warming and climate change could have an adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy’s operations and the demand for oil and natural gas.

Recent scientific studies have suggested that emissions of certain gases, commonly referred to as greenhouse gases (“GHG”), may be contributing to the warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. Methane, a primary component of natural gas, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of refined oil products and natural gas, are examples of GHGs. From time to time the U.S. Congress has considered climate-related legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs. On December 15, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other GHGs present an endangerment to public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to the warming of the Earth’s atmosphere and other climate changes. Based on these findings, the agency has begun adopting and implementing regulations that would restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. The EPA has adopted rules that require a reduction in emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles as well as rules that regulate emissions of GHGs from certain large stationary sources under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V permitting programs. On June 26, 2012, the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia upheld EPA’s GHG regulations; petitions for review by the U.S. Supreme Court were due in April 2013, and in October 2013 the Supreme Court accepted the case and decided to review the appellate court ruling. In addition, on November 30, 2010, the EPA published final regulations expanding the existing GHG monitoring and reporting rule to include onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production and onshore oil and natural gas processing, transmission, storage and distribution facilities. These requirements became applicable in 2012 for emissions occurring in 2011, although industry groups have filed suit challenging certain provisions of the rules and are engaged in settlement negotiations to amend and correct the rules.

In addition, many states have developed measures to regulate emissions of GHGs, primarily through the planned development of GHG emissions inventories and/or regional GHG Cap and Trade programs. In California, for example, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) has developed regulations pursuant to Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act, that are intended to achieve an overall reduction in GHG emissions to 1990 levels, an approximate 15% reduction by 2020. Because Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite operations are expected to emit GHGs in excess of 25,000 metric tons per year, various of its operations will be subject to the requirements of this program. In October 2011, CARB adopted the final Cap and Trade regulation which implemented the Cap and Trade Program under Assembly Bill 32. The regulation established three separate three-year compliance periods as follows: 2012 to 2014, 2015 to 2017 and 2018 to 2020. The regulation required regulated entities to “true up” their emission offset obligations by the end of each three-year obligation period. Compliance with these regulations will require companies to periodically secure instruments known as offsets and allowances, each of which is equal to one metric ton of emissions under the Cap and Trade program. The price of these instruments will vary in accordance with market conditions. The total amount of instruments Santa Maria Energy owes will vary annually based on the total GHG emissions registered in any one year and the number of “free allowances” issued by CARB annually. These regulations increase Santa Maria Energy’s costs for those operations and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s operating results. The EPA has also adopted regulations imposing permitting and best available control technology requirements on the largest GHG stationary sources, regulations requiring reporting of GHG emissions from certain facilities and is considering additional regulation of GHGs as “air pollutants” under the existing federal Clean Air Act. Santa Maria Energy could incur material expenditures complying with environmental laws and regulations, including future environmental laws and regulations that may be more stringent, including, for example, the regulation of GHG emissions under new federal legislation, the federal Clean Air Act, or state or regional regulatory programs. See “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Regulation—Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters—Climate Change” for more detail.

Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts and floods and other climatic events. If any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows.

Regulations related to well stimulation techniques could delay or increase costs of Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey operations.

On September 20, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown approved Senate Bill 4 (“SB 4”), which imposes requirements on oil and natural gas well operators and suppliers with respect to certain well stimulation techniques, including hydraulic fracturing and acid jobs. The purpose of SB 4 is to allow “transparency and accountability to the public regarding well stimulation treatments…and the handling, processing, and disposal of well stimulation and related wastes.” SB 4 requires well operators to apply for a valid permit from the State of California’s Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources (the “Division”) before performing or repeating any well stimulation treatments.

The Division, in consultation with various agencies including the State of California’s Department of Toxic Control Substances and the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, must adopt rules and regulations specific to well stimulation treatments on or before January 1, 2015. The rules and regulations will require full disclosure of the composition and disposition of the well stimulation fluids, including a detailed list of the well stimulation fluid’s chemical composition, in addition to landowner notification and groundwater and air quality monitoring. In the event that an operator wishes to engage in well stimulation treatment before the Division has finalized the rules and regulations, the Division shall grant the entity permission, assuming multiple conditions are met, including that all well stimulation treatment activities conform to Article 3 of the Public Resources Code through a permitting process. While Santa Maria Energy does not employ the hydraulic fracturing technique, it may use other well stimulation techniques regulated by SB 4 in its Monterey operations. SB 4 establishes additional levels of regulation at the state level that could lead to operational delays and increased operating costs. These delays could be more pronounced prior to the adoption of the final rules and regulations. The adoption of legislation and/or regulations at the federal and local level could impose further chemical disclosure or other regulatory requirements that would increase costs of Santa Maria Energy’s operations and cause additional delays in acquiring regulatory approvals to drill and complete wells.

The loss of key personnel could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s business.

Santa Maria Energy depends to a large extent on the efforts and continued employment of its executive management team and other key personnel. The loss of the services of these or other key personnel could materially and adversely affect its business, and Santa Maria Energy does not maintain key man insurance on the lives of any of these persons. Santa Maria Energy’s drilling success and the success of other activities integral to its operations will depend, in part, on its ability to attract, compensate and retain experienced geologists, engineers, landmen and other professionals. Competition for many of these professionals is intense. If Santa Maria Energy cannot attract, compensate and retain experienced technical personnel and other professionals, its ability to compete could be harmed.

Interruptions in information technology systems and infrastructure could materially and adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s business.

Santa Maria Energy’s business is increasingly dependent on information technology systems to conduct exploration, development and production activities. System failures, network disruptions and breaches of data security could lead to data corruption, communication interruption or other operational disruptions in its exploration or production operations. In addition, the oil and natural gas distribution and transportation systems on which Santa Maria Energy relies to deliver its production to market, or from which it supplies its operations, depends upon information technology systems and infrastructure. Cyber-attacks directed at the oil and natural gas industry could damage distribution and storage assets or the environment, delay or prevent delivery of production to markets and make it difficult or impossible to accurately account for production and settle transactions. There can be no assurance that a system failure, network disruption or data security breach will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and operating cash flows. Further, as technology continues to evolve, Santa Maria Energy may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify or enhance its protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerabilities.

60

Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility has substantial restrictions and financial covenants and it may have difficulty obtaining additional credit, which could adversely affect its operations. Santa Maria Energy’s lenders can unilaterally reduce its borrowing availability based upon their assessment of oil and natural gas prices and production projections.

Santa Maria Energy depends on its senior credit facility for future capital needs. The terms of the agreement governing its senior credit facility require Santa Maria Energy to comply with certain financial covenants and ratios. Santa Maria Energy’s ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants in the future is uncertain and will be affected by the levels of cash flows from operations and events or circumstances beyond its control. Santa Maria Energy’s failure to comply with any of the restrictions and covenants under the senior credit facility or other debt financing could result in a default under those facilities, which could cause all of its existing indebtedness to be immediately due and payable.

The senior credit facility limits the amounts Santa Maria Energy can borrow to an available amount, which is based upon the Kayne Guaranty, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the merger, and a borrowing base amount. The borrowing base amount is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion based upon projected revenues from the oil properties securing the indebtedness under the senior credit facility. The lenders can unilaterally adjust the borrowing base and the borrowings permitted to be outstanding under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility. Outstanding borrowings in excess of the borrowing base must be repaid immediately, or Santa Maria Energy must pledge additional oil and natural gas properties as collateral. Santa Maria Energy does not currently have any substantial properties that are not already pledged as collateral under the senior credit facility, and it may not have the financial resources in the future to make any mandatory principal prepayments required under the senior credit facility. Santa Maria Energy’s inability to borrow additional funds under its senior credit facility could limit Santa Maria Energy’s ability to make capital expenditures to conduct its production, development and exploration activities, engage in acquisition activities and replace its production and thereby adversely affect its operations and its financial results.

Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility imposes restrictions on it that may limit the discretion of management in operating its business. That, in turn, could impair its ability to meet its obligations.

Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility contains various restrictive covenants that limit management’s discretion in operating its business. In particular, these covenants limit its ability to, among other things:

• incur additional debt;

• make certain investments or pay distributions on its equity securities, or purchase, redeem or retire equity securities;

• sell assets, including equity interests in restricted subsidiaries;

• restrict distributions or other payments by restricted subsidiaries;

• create or incur liens; and

• enter into transactions with affiliates.

Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility also requires it to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests. These covenants have an adverse impact on its ability to finance its future operations or capital needs. Santa Maria Energy’s ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by circumstances and events beyond its control, such as prevailing economic conditions and changes in regulations. A breach of any of these covenants, which is not waived by the lenders, could result in a default under the senior credit facility. If there were an event of default under the senior credit facility, the affected creditors could cause all amounts borrowed under the facility to be due and payable immediately. Additionally, if Santa Maria Energy fails to repay indebtedness under the senior credit facility when it becomes due, the lenders under the senior credit facility could foreclose on the assets that Santa Maria Energy has pledged as collateral under the senior

61

credit facility. Santa Maria Energy’s assets and cash flow might not be sufficient to repay its outstanding debt in the event of a default or a borrowing base deficiency. The occurrence of such an event would adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s operations and results of operations.

The Kayne Investors beneficially own enough preferred units and common units to ensure approval of the merger proposal, and their interests in the merger and Santa Maria Energy’s business may be different from those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders.

The Kayne Investors beneficially own enough preferred units and common units to ensure approval of the Santa Maria Energy merger proposal. This concentration of control could be disadvantageous to Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders with interests different from those of the Kayne Investors. As of the record date for the special meeting, the Kayne Investors beneficially owned all of Santa Maria Energy’s outstanding preferred units and approximately 30% of Santa Maria Energy’s outstanding common units. Please read “Beneficial Ownership of Securities—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Santa Maria Energy.” Pursuant to Santa Maria Energy’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger requires the approval of (1) members owning a majority of the preferred units and (2) members owning at least 29% of the outstanding common units. Consequently, the Kayne Investors can control the outcome on the Santa Maria Energy unitholder vote on the merger proposal. Furthermore, the Kayne Investors have agreed, with respect to the merger proposal, to vote all of the Santa Maria Energy preferred units and common units that they own “FOR” the merger proposal. As a result, the Kayne Investors can ensure approval of the merger proposal even if more than a majority of Santa Maria Energy common units are not voted in favor of the merger proposal. The Kayne Investors’ interests in approving the merger proposal may be different from those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders, and the Kayne Investors’ interests may conflict with those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders.

Risks Related to Hyde Park and the Merger

If Hyde Park’s board of directors’ due diligence investigation of Santa Maria Energy was inadequate, then stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation following the merger could lose some or all of their investment.

Even though Hyde Park conducted a due diligence investigation of Santa Maria Energy, it cannot be sure that this diligence surfaced all material issues that may be associated with Santa Maria Energy or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Santa Maria Energy and its business and outside of its control will not later arise. Please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy” for the risks that have been identified.

The shares beneficially owned by Hyde Park’s officers and directors will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, the officers and directors may have had a conflict of interest in determining whether the merger is appropriate for Hyde Park’s initial business combination.

Hyde Park’s officers and directors have waived their right to convert their sponsors’ shares, to sell such shares to Hyde Park in any tender offer or to receive distributions with respect to such shares upon Hyde Park’s liquidation, if Hyde Park is unable to consummate an initial business combination. Accordingly, the sponsors’ shares will be worthless if Hyde Park does not consummate an initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of the directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, the directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may have resulted in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of the merger are appropriate and in the Hyde Park stockholders’ best interest.

62

Each Hyde Park public stockholder has the option to vote in favor of the merger proposal and still seek conversion of his, her or its shares. Accordingly, additional financing may be needed by Santa Maria Energy Corporation to fund drilling requirements and the trading market for Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock may be less liquid, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation may not be able to meet the listing standards for NASDAQ or another national securities exchange.

Each public stockholder (but not the Hyde Park sponsors, officers or directors) has the right to have his, her or its shares of common stock converted to cash (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus) regardless of whether such stockholder votes for or against the merger. Hyde Park will consummate the merger only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock issued in Hyde Park’s initial public offering are voted in favor of the merger. In addition, it is a condition to the consummation of the merger that after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account. Accordingly, public stockholders owning 3,690,476 shares of Hyde Park’s common stock may exercise their conversion rights and Hyde Park could still consummate the merger so long as a majority of shares voted at the meeting are voted in favor of the merger. This is different than other similarly structured blank check companies in which stockholders are offered the right to convert their shares only when they vote against a proposed merger. Furthermore, Hyde Park’s $5,000,001 net tangible asset threshold is different than conversion thresholds of between 20% and 40%, which are applicable to certain other blank check companies similar to Hyde Park, and further allows holders of shares of Hyde Park common stock the right to vote in favor of the merger and elect to convert their shares. This different threshold and the ability to seek conversion while voting in favor of the merger proposal may make it more likely that Hyde Park will consummate the merger. Accordingly, the merger may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of conversion by Hyde Park public stockholders, subject to the required $40 million minimum. With reduced funds available from the trust account, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will need to seek additional financing to fund drilling requirements. With fewer public shares, the trading market for Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock may be less liquid, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation may not be able to meet the listing standards for NASDAQ or another national securities exchange.

Hyde Park is requiring stockholders who wish to convert their shares in connection with the merger proposal to comply with specific requirements for conversion that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their conversion rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.

In connection with the special meeting of Hyde Park stockholders to approve the merger proposal, each public stockholder will have the right, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposal, to demand that Hyde Park convert such stockholder’s shares into a pro rata share of the trust account. Hyde Park is requiring public stockholders who wish to convert their shares in connection with the merger proposal to either tender their certificates to the transfer agent at any time prior to the vote taken at the special meeting or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and the transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is Hyde Park’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because Hyde Park does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. While Hyde Park has been advised that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, this may not be the case. Accordingly, if it takes longer than anticipated for stockholders to deliver their shares, stockholders who wish to convert may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their conversion rights and thus may be unable to convert their shares. In addition, in order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Hyde Park will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights to certify to Hyde Park whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. See “The Hyde Park Special Meeting—Conversion Rights.”

63

Because Hyde Park is requiring public stockholders who wish to convert their shares to comply with specific requirements for conversion, such converting stockholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the merger is not approved.

Hyde Park public stockholders who wish to convert their shares must comply with specific requirements for conversion, including either tendering their certificates to the transfer agent at any time prior to the vote taken at the Hyde Park special meeting or delivering their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System. In the event the merger is not consummated, Hyde Park will promptly return such certificates to such tendering public stockholders. However, such investors who attempted to convert their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed merger until Hyde Park has returned their securities to them. The market price for shares of Hyde Park common stock may decline during this time, and Hyde Park stockholders may not be able to sell their securities when they wish to, even while other stockholders that did not seek conversion may be able to sell their securities.

Hyde Park’s public stockholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” are restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the shares sold in Hyde Park’s initial public offering.

Hyde Park is offering each public stockholder (but not the Hyde Park sponsors, officers or directors) the right to have his, her or its shares of common stock converted into cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the shares sold in Hyde Park’s initial public offering. Generally, in this context, a stockholder will be deemed to be acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder when such stockholders agree to act together for the purpose of acquiring, voting, holding or disposing of Hyde Park’s equity securities. Accordingly, if you purchased more than 20% of the shares sold in Hyde Park’s initial public offering and the merger is approved, you will not be able to seek conversion rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold such additional shares of common stock or sell them in the open market. The value of such additional shares may not appreciate over time following the merger, and the market price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s shares of common stock may not exceed the per-share conversion price.

Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, control a substantial amount of Hyde Park’s common stock and thus may influence certain actions requiring a stockholder vote.

Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, collectively own approximately 25.5% of Hyde Park’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. None of the sponsors, including the officers and directors, or their affiliates has indicated any intention to purchase any shares of Hyde Park common stock from persons in the open market or in private transactions. However, the sponsors, including the officers and directors, or their affiliates could determine in the future to make such purchases in the open market or in private transactions, to the extent permitted by law, in order to influence the vote on the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In connection with any vote for the merger proposal, Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the proposed merger.

If Hyde Park is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult to complete the merger.

If Hyde Park is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the Investment Company Act, its activities may be restricted, including restrictions on the nature of its investments and restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for Hyde Park to complete the merger.

64

In addition, Hyde Park may have imposed upon it burdensome requirements, including:

• registration as an investment company;

• adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

• reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

Hyde Park does not believe that its anticipated principal activities will subject it to the Investment Company Act. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in United States Treasury Bills with a maturity of 90 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Because the investment of the proceeds will be restricted to these instruments, Hyde Park believes that it will meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. If Hyde Park were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which Hyde Park has not allotted.

Hyde Park has not held an annual meeting of stockholders and may, as a result, be in violation of Delaware General Corporation Law.

Hyde Park has not held an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors and thus may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting of stockholders be held for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with a company’s bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting, and NASDAQ Rule 5620(a), which requires that an annual meeting of stockholders be held no later than one year after a company’s fiscal year-end.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements included in this document are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition or results of operations following the merger.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements contained in this document are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on various adjustments, assumptions and preliminary estimates, and may not be an indication of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations following the merger for several reasons. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information of Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park.” The actual financial condition and results of operations of Santa Maria Energy Corporation following the merger may not be consistent with, or evident from, these pro forma financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations following the merger. Any potential decline in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common shares after consummation of the merger.

The merger could fail to qualify as a Section 351 exchange under the Code.

It is intended that the merger qualify as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code. If Section 351 of the Code does not apply to the merger, and the merger does not otherwise qualify as a nonrecognition transaction under the Code, a U.S. holder of Santa Maria Energy common units or Hyde Park common stock would recognize taxable gain or loss with respect to the Santa Maria Energy common units or Hyde Park common stock, as applicable, exchanged in the merger and the holding period of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock would begin on the day after the merger.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Santa Maria Energy Corporation Common Stock

NASDAQ may not approve Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock for listing, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in its shares and subject it to additional trading restrictions.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to apply to list its shares on NASDAQ in connection with the merger. Notwithstanding Hyde Park’s NASDAQ listing, NASDAQ will require Santa Maria Energy Corporation to file an initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. Santa Maria Energy Corporation may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements at, or immediately following, the effective time of the merger. Even if Santa Maria Energy Corporation is able to meet such initial listing requirements, it may not continue to meet ongoing listing requirements.

If NASDAQ does not list Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s shares for trading, Santa Maria Energy Corporation could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for its shares;

• reduced liquidity with respect to its shares;

• a determination that its common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for Santa Maria Energy Corporation; and

• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be received by the Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from the Hyde Park common stock and Santa Maria Energy units.

Upon consummation of the merger, Hyde Park stockholders who receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration will become stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Similarly, Santa Maria Energy unitholders will become stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. There are important differences between the rights of the Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders and the rights of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation stockholders. See “Comparison of Securityholders’ Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

The Kayne Investors will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock in the merger, and their interests may conflict with those of the common stockholders.

If the merger is completed, the Kayne Investors will receive one share of preferred stock for each Santa Maria Energy preferred unit that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The consent of holders of a majority of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares of preferred stock shall be required in order for Santa Maria Energy Corporation to take certain actions, including: (i) amending or repealing any provision of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would affect the rights of the preferred stockholders, (ii) increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares of common or preferred stock, (iii) authorizing or designating, whether by reclassification or otherwise, any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or any increase in the authorized or designated number of any such new class or series, (iv) any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of dividends or other distributions with respect to common stock or preferred stock other than the mandatory dividends on the preferred stock, (v) any liquidation event in which the preferred stock is not

66

redeemed in full in cash, (vi) the incurrence or guarantee of any indebtedness or other encumbrance on the assets of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, other than senior bank debt from a reputable commercial bank and customary trade debt, (vii) the approval of any budget or amendment or modification to any budget in any material respect, (viii) any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, or any agreement or commitment to undertake any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, not contemplated by a budget in an amount in excess of the budgeted amount in any material respect, (ix) any disposition of assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, of greater than 25% of Santa Maria Energy’s proved PV-10 in any one year period unless the entire proceeds thereof are used to redeem outstanding shares of preferred stock, and (x) any change to the nature of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s business operations. In addition, while the preferred stock is outstanding, the Kayne Investors will have the right to appoint two members of the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation.

As a result, the Kayne Investors are able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter and bylaws, the approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions, including transactions that might result in a change of control. The interests of the Kayne Investors with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting Santa Maria Energy Corporation, such as future acquisitions, financings and other corporate opportunities, may conflict with the interests of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s other stockholders.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require substantial financial and management resources both before and after consummation of the merger.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, will require that Santa Maria Energy Corporation evaluate and report on its system of internal controls and that Santa Maria Energy Corporation have such system of internal controls. If Santa Maria Energy Corporation fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, it could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties or stockholder litigation. Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s business. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm report on management’s evaluation of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s system of internal controls. The development of the internal controls in order to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete the merger. Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over its financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the shares of its common stock.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock could cause the price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to decline.

Upon the consummation of the merger, the founders and sponsors of Hyde Park, or their affiliates, will collectively own at least 2,568,750 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock. In addition, the Kayne Investors will own up to 5,993,230 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and 50,000 shares of preferred stock. In the future, such shares may be sold from time to time in the public market pursuant to the registration rights to be granted in connection with the merger or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Such sales may commence after 180 days after the consummation of the merger, subject to the terms of applicable transfer restrictions described elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The sale of these shares or the availability for future sale of these shares could adversely affect the market price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and could impair the future ability of Santa Maria Energy Corporation to raise capital through offerings of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

67

Santa Maria Energy Corporation may apply the net proceeds released from Hyde Park’s trust account in a manner that does not improve the combined company’s results or increase the value of your investment.

If the merger is consummated, the funds held in Hyde Park’s trust account, after payment of amounts due to Hyde Park stockholders who properly exercise their conversion rights and fees and expenses incurred by Hyde Park in connection with the merger, will be used by Santa Maria Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes. There are no specified plans for, and management will have broad discretion regarding, the use of such funds. These funds could be used in a manner with which you do not agree or applied in ways that do not improve the combined company’s results of operations or increase the value of your investment.

The price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock after the consummation of the merger may be volatile and the trading price of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock may not reach or exceed the trading price of Hyde Park common stock.

Prior to the merger, there has not been a public market for Santa Maria Energy’s units or Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s securities will develop following the merger. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Santa Maria Energy in the merger may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the merger. If the benefits of the merger do not meet the expectations of investors and securities analysts, the market price for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s securities may decline. The price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock after the consummation of the merger may be volatile, and may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which will be beyond Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s control. Any of such factors could have a material and adverse effect on your investment in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock or cause its common stock to trade a prices significantly below the prices ascribed to its common stock in the merger. Factors affecting the trading price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock include:

• changes in oil and natural gas liquids prices;

• changes in production levels;

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s quarterly and annual results and those of its publicly held competitors;

• mergers and strategic alliances among any exploration and production companies;

• market conditions in the industry;

• changes in government regulation and taxes;

• geological developments;

• the level of foreign imports of oil and natural gas and oil and natural gas liquids;

• fluctuations in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s quarterly revenues and earnings and those of its publicly held competitors;

• shortfalls in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s operating results from levels forecasted by securities analysts;

• investor sentiment toward the stock of exploration and production companies in general;

• announcements concerning Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its competitors; and

• the general state of the securities markets.

68

Following the consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will have anti-takeover provisions in its organizational documents that may discourage a change of control.

Following the consummation of the merger, certain provisions of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter and bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

• a classified board of directors, divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms;

• the removal of directors only for cause and only with the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock;

• the board of director’s ability to authorize and issue undesignated preferred stock;

• advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at annual meetings;

• no ability for stockholders to call special stockholder meetings;

• no ability for stockholders to take action by written consent;

• the stockholders’ ability to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt certain provisions of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter (such as those provisions dealing with the board of directors, bylaws, meetings of the stockholders or amendment of the charter) only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 ²⁄₃% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation; and

• the stockholders’ ability to adopt, amend, alter or repeal Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 ²⁄₃% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation.

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL may, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person with 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, to effect a “business combination” with the corporation for a three-year period. A “business combination” is defined generally as mergers, consolidations and certain other transactions, including sales, leases or other dispositions of assets with an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of the aggregate market value of the corporation.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire Santa Maria Energy Corporation, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many stockholders. As a result, stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

Following the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation may be unable to retain key employees.

The success of Santa Maria Energy Corporation after the merger will depend in part upon Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s ability to retain key Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park employees. Key employees may depart either before or after the merger because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain following the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be able to retain key Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park employees to the same extent as in the past.

69

If certain stockholders exercise their registration rights, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

Hyde Park’s sponsors are entitled to make a demand that Hyde Park register the resale of Hyde Park shares purchased by the Hyde Park sponsors before the initial public offering of Hyde Park, sometimes referred to herein as “founders’ shares,” at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which their shares may be released from escrow, which may occur one year after the date of the consummation of the merger or earlier in certain circumstances (but in no event prior to the consummation of the merger). Additionally, Hyde Park’s sponsors are entitled to demand that Hyde Park register the resale of the sponsors’ shares that were privately placed simultaneously with Hyde Park’s initial public offering and any shares the sponsors, including the officers and directors, or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to Hyde Park commencing on the date that Hyde Park consummates the merger. The Kayne Investors will also be receiving registration rights in return for their agreement to vote their Santa Maria Energy units in favor of the merger. Investors who purchase Santa Maria Energy Corporation securities in the Private Equity Financing will also receive registration rights. Should the these unitholders exercise their registration rights, the presence of these additional shares of common stock trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

Changes in laws or regulations, or failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s business and results of operations.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, by any of the persons referred to above could have a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s business and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Santa Maria Energy Corporation Preferred Stock

It is unlikely that an active trading market for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s preferred stock will develop.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s preferred stock will not be a liquid investment because no public trading market currently exists for such security, and it is unlikely that a market will develop. Potential Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stockholders should consider carefully the limited liquidity of such stock. Santa Maria Energy Corporation is not obligated, and does not intend, to apply for the listing of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock on any securities exchange. Even if a trading market for the Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock were to develop, it may not continue, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stockholders may not be able to sell such securities at or above the price at which they were acquired.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANIES

Hyde Park

Hyde Park was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 24, 2011, as a blank check company, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. On August 7, 2012, Hyde Park completed its initial public offering along with a private placement of its common stock. Since its incorporation, Hyde Park has not acquired an operating business.

If Hyde Park does not complete the merger or another business combination by May 1, 2014, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating.

Hyde Park’s common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “HPAC.” The mailing address of the principal executive office of Hyde Park is 500 Fifth Avenue, 50^th Floor, New York, New York 10110, and its telephone number is (212) 644-3450. Additional information about Hyde Park can be found in the section entitled “Additional Information About Hyde Park.”

Hyde Park stockholders should note that, in light of Hyde Park’s mandatory May 1, 2014 liquidation date, the merger is likely to be the only opportunity for Hyde Park to complete its initial business combination. While Hyde Park’s public stockholders are entitled to participate in a pro rata distribution of the amounts held in Hyde Park’s trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share), Hyde Park’s sponsors, including members of its board of directors, are not entitled to participate in such distribution with respect to their founder and sponsor shares (which had an aggregate value of approximately $26,946,188 as of February 14, 2014), and such shares will therefore likely become worthless if the merger is not completed. Hyde Park stockholders should take this conflict of interest into account, in addition to the other conflicts discussed under “Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger” when considering Hyde Park’s board of directors’ recommendation to vote in favor of the merger.

THE HYDE PARK SPECIAL MEETING

We are furnishing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to Hyde Park stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Hyde Park’s board of directors for use at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on                     , 2014 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This joint proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to Hyde Park stockholders on or about                     , 2014. This joint proxy statement/prospectus provides Hyde Park stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the special meeting of Hyde Park stockholders.

Date, Time and Place

This special meeting of the stockholders of Hyde Park will be held at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, on                     , 2014, at the offices of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, located at 575 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, to vote on the adoption of the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Hyde Park is asking holders of Hyde Park common stock to:

• consider and adopt the merger proposal; and

• consider and adopt the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Hyde Park has fixed the close of business on                     , 2014 as the “record date” for determining Hyde Park stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 10,068,750 shares of Hyde Park common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, of which 7,500,000 were IPO shares and 2,568,750 were sponsors’ shares. Each share of Hyde Park common stock is entitled to one vote at the special meeting.

Quorum

A quorum of Hyde Park stockholders is required to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Hyde Park believes the proposals presented to Hyde Park stockholders at the special meeting will be considered non-discretionary and, therefore, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or nominee and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, such bank, broker or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that your shares are “not voted” at the special meeting. This indication that a bank, broker or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been established, but will not be treated as “entitled to vote” on the proposal(s) to which the broker non-vote relates. Based on applicable voting standards, broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal, but will have no effect on the Hyde Park adjournment proposal.

Proxies marked “abstain” will be considered present and entitled to vote at the special meeting and, based on applicable voting standards, may have the same effect as a vote “against” each of the proposals.

75

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Hyde Park common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Hyde Park common stock that you owned as of the record date for the special meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Hyde Park common stock at the special meeting:

• You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Hyde Park’s board of directors “FOR” the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

• You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Hyde Park can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a stockholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

• you may send another proxy card with a later date;

• you may notify Laurence S. Levy, Hyde Park’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

• you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have questions, you may write, e-mail or call                                                                                                                                                                                                          . Banks and brokerage firms, please call                                         .

Conversion Rights

Any stockholder holding IPO shares as of the record date who votes in favor of or against the merger proposal may demand that Hyde Park convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account (which is expected to be $10.50 per IPO share), net of taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger. If a holder properly seeks conversion as described in this section and the merger is consummated, Hyde Park will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of IPO shares, together with any such holder’s affiliates or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the aggregate IPO shares without Hyde Park’s prior written consent. Accordingly, all IPO shares in excess of 20% beneficially owned by a public stockholder or any person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group will not be converted into cash. Such a stockholder will not be restricted from voting all of its shares for or against the merger proposal.

76

In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Hyde Park will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights to certify to Hyde Park whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder.

Hyde Park’s initial stockholders, i.e., the sponsors, will not have conversion rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly, regardless of when they acquired such shares.

Hyde Park stockholders who seek to convert their IPO shares must vote for or against the merger proposal. Hyde Park stockholders who do not vote with respect to the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote, may not convert their shares into cash. Holders may demand conversion either by checking the box on their proxy card or by submitting their request in writing to Hyde Park’s secretary. Any such demand must be made no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal. Holders demanding conversion must also deliver their stock, either physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Hyde Park’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the special meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares of Hyde Park common stock that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash. There may be a nominal cost charged by the transfer agent in connection with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. In the event the proposed merger is not consummated, this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to convert such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the proposed merger. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its conversion and subsequently decides prior to the vote on the merger proposal not to elect to exercise such conversion rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). If a stockholder properly exercises its conversion rights, such exercise will be irrevocable following the vote on the merger proposal.

If the merger is not approved or completed for any reason, then Hyde Park’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their conversion rights will not be entitled to convert their shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, as applicable. In such case, Hyde Park will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders.

As of December 31, 2013, the cash held in the trust account was $78,750,898 (or approximately $10.50 per IPO share). Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Hyde Park common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. Hyde Park cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Hyde Park common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of IPO shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Hyde Park common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you vote for or against the merger proposal, properly demand conversion no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal, and deliver your shares (either physically or electronically) to Hyde Park’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting, and the merger is consummated. If a stockholder properly exercises its conversion rights, such exercise will be irrevocable following the vote on the merger proposal.

Appraisal Rights

If Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock issued in the merger is listed on the NASDAQ (subject only to official notice of issuance), then Hyde Park stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with

77

the merger under the DGCL. However, if the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock is not approved for listing on the NASDAQ, Hyde Park stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger proposal and who otherwise comply with the applicable statutory procedures will have appraisal rights. See the section entitled “The Merger—Appraisal or Dissenters Rights.”

Solicitation Costs

Hyde Park will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders. Hyde Park will, upon request, reimburse brokerage firms and other nominee holders for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of Hyde Park shares. Hyde Park’s officers and directors may solicit proxies by mail, personal contact, letter, telephone, telegram, facsimile or other electronic means. They will not receive any additional compensation for those activities, but they may be reimbursed for their out-of- pocket expenses. In addition, Hyde Park has hired                      to solicit proxies on Hyde Park’s behalf. The cost of soliciting proxies on Hyde Park’s behalf will be approximately $         plus costs and expenses.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The special meeting of stockholders has been called only to consider the approval of the merger proposal and the Hyde Park adjournment proposal. Under Hyde Park’s bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the meeting, no other matters may be considered at the special meeting if they are not included in the notice of the special meeting.

78

HYDE PARK PROPOSALS

The Merger Proposal

As discussed throughout this document, Hyde Park is asking its stockholders to approve the merger proposal. Holders of shares of Hyde Park common stock should read carefully this document in its entirety, including the annexes, for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In particular, holders of shares of Hyde Park common stock are directed to the composite Merger Agreement, which incorporates the amendment to the Merger Agreement into the text of the initial Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this document.

Required Vote

The approval and adoption of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding Hyde Park common stock. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on the merger proposal. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal.

Pursuant to agreements with Hyde Park, its sponsors have agreed to vote their 2,568,750 shares, representing an aggregate of approximately 25.5% of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock, as well as any IPO shares acquired by the Hyde Park sponsors, in favor of the merger proposal. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Hyde Park sponsors have not purchased any shares since Hyde Park’s initial public offering.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HYDE PARK UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE HYDE PARK STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

The Hyde Park Adjournment Proposal

The Hyde Park adjournment proposal allows Hyde Park’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger proposal. In no event will Hyde Park solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the merger beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. The purpose of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal is to provide more time for Hyde Park and the Hyde Park sponsors to make purchases of public shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the merger proposal and to meet the requirement under the Merger Agreement that Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders upon the consummation of the merger. See the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger.”

In addition to an adjournment of the special meeting upon approval of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, the board of directors of Hyde Park is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, Hyde Park will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Hyde Park Adjournment Proposal Is not Approved

If the Hyde Park adjournment proposal is presented to the special meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, Hyde Park’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the

79

merger proposal (because the merger proposal is not approved or because Hyde Park would have less than $40 million in its trust account upon consummation of the merger after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders).

Required Vote

Adoption of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Hyde Park common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Adoption of the Hyde Park adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the merger proposal.

THE HYDE PARK BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT HYDE PARK STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE HYDE PARK ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

THE SANTA MARIA ENERGY SPECIAL MEETING

Santa Maria Energy is furnishing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to Santa Maria Energy unitholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers for use at the special meeting of unitholders to be held on                     , 2014. This joint proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to Santa Maria Energy unitholders on or about                     , 2014.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Santa Maria Energy has fixed the close of business on                     , 2014 as the “record date” for determining Santa Maria Energy unitholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 50,000,000 common units and 50,000 preferred units outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Quorum

A quorum of Santa Maria Energy unitholders is required to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your units, your units will be voted as recommended by Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers “FOR” the merger proposal and the merger-related compensation proposal. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

81

• You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive.

The Kayne Investors hold all of the outstanding preferred units and approximately 30% of the outstanding common units of Santa Maria Energy. Such units, will be voted in favor of the merger proposal. Because a majority of the preferred units and only 29% of the outstanding common units are required to approve the merger proposal, the passage of the merger proposal by Santa Maria Energy unitholders is assured. Please read “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy—The Kayne Investors beneficially own enough preferred units and common units to ensure approval of the merger proposal, and their interests in the merger and Santa Maria Energy’s business may be different from those of Santa Maria Energy’s other unitholders.”

Revoking Your P roxy

If you are a Santa Maria Energy unitholder and you submit your proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

• you may send another proxy card with a later date;

SANTA MARIA ENERGY PROPOSALS

The Merger Proposal

As discussed throughout this document, Santa Maria Energy is asking its unitholders to approve the merger proposal. Holders of Santa Maria Energy units should read carefully this document in its entirety, including the annexes, for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In particular, holders of Santa Maria Energy units are directed to the composite Merger Agreement, which incorporates the amendment to the Merger Agreement into the text of the initial Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this document.

Required Vote

The approval and adoption of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred units and at least 29% of the outstanding common units. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 50,000,000 common units and 50,000 preferred units outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each unit is entitled to one vote at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with Santa Maria Energy, the Kayne Investors have agreed to vote all of the preferred units and an aggregate of approximately 30% of the outstanding common units of Santa Maria Energy in favor of the merger proposal.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF SANTA MARIA ENERGY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SANTA MARIA ENERGY UNITHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, Santa Maria Energy is providing its unitholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation arising from any agreement or understanding, whether written or unwritten, between Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers and the acquiring company or Santa Maria Energy, concerning any type of compensation, whether deferred or contingent, that is based upon or otherwise relates to the merger, and that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers, as determined in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “merger-related compensation.” As required by those rules, Santa Maria Energy is asking its unitholders to vote on the adoption of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC in connection with the merger as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K and as set forth in this proposal entitled “The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal” is hereby APPROVED.”

The information set forth in the table below is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of information about certain compensation for each of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger.

Please note that the amounts indicated below are estimates based on the material assumptions described in the notes to the table below, which may or may not actually occur. Some of these assumptions are based on information not currently available and, as a result, the actual amounts, if any, that may be paid or become payable to a named executive officer may differ materially from the amounts set forth below. Furthermore, for purposes of calculating such amounts, Santa Maria Energy has assumed that the consummation of the merger occurred on February 24, 2014.

(1) Amounts represent (i) discretionary cash payments to the applicable executive related to voluntary salary reductions that became effective in 2012, plus (ii) in the case of Mr. McMillan, a cash payment equal to the amount that Mr. McMillan would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time.

(2) Amounts represent cash payments to the applicable executive in connection with the vesting and cancellation of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units held by the executive. Each Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers. For purposes of the calculations in this table, the payments in respect of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units are based on a value of $3.11 per Santa Maria Energy common unit.

(3) Subject to his continued employment with Santa Maria Energy or a subsidiary thereof until at least immediately prior to the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, Santa Maria Energy will pay a transaction bonus in cash equal to the amount Mr. McMillan would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, less applicable withholding taxes.

Narrative to Merger-Related Compensation Table

The Merger Agreement provides that all Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units (defined below), including those held by the named executive officers, that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger will vest in full and will be terminated and canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration (defined below), less any applicable withholding taxes. For additional information regarding these payments, please see “Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger,” and the footnote disclosure to the Merger-Related Compensation Table above.

Pursuant to an agreement between Santa Maria Energy and Kevin McMillan entered into in connection with the merger, subject to Mr. Millan’s continued employment until at least immediately prior to the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, Santa Maria Energy has agreed to pay to Mr. McMillan a transaction bonus in cash in the amount of and on the terms and conditions described under “The Merger—Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger,” and the footnote disclosure to the Merger-Related Compensation Table above.

In addition, subject to their continued employment with Santa Maria Energy or a subsidiary thereof until at least immediately prior to the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, Santa Maria Energy will make cash payments to each of its named executive officers, other than Mr. Elias, in order to compensate them for a voluntary reduction in their salaries that took effect in August 2012 or October 2012, as applicable. For additional information regarding these payments, please see “Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger,” and the footnote disclosure to the Merger-Related Compensation Table above.

Required Vote

The vote regarding this proposal on merger-related compensation is a vote separate and apart from the vote on the proposal to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you may vote to approve this proposal on merger-related compensation and vote not to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and vice versa. Because the vote regarding merger-related compensation is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on either Santa Maria Energy, Hyde Park or Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Accordingly, if the merger and the other transactions

84

contemplated by the Merger Agreement are approved and completed, the merger-related compensation will be payable upon a consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding, advisory vote of Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders.

Pursuant to agreements with Santa Maria Energy, the Kayne Investors have agreed to vote all of the preferred units and an aggregate of approximately 30% of the outstanding common units of Santa Maria Energy in favor of the Santa Maria Energy merger-related compensation proposal.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF SANTA MARIA ENERGY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SANTA MARIA ENERGY UNITHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL TO APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE MERGER-RELATED COMPENSATION.

Santa Maria Energy will then be contributed to Hyde Park so that Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park.

Merger Consideration

Merger consideration received by Hyde Park stockholders

As a result of the Hyde Park Merger, each outstanding share of Hyde Park common stock will be exchanged for one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock. A description of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be issued in connection with the Hyde Park Merger is set forth in the section entitled “Description of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Common Stock and Other Securities.”

Hyde Park stockholders should note that the final prospectus with respect to Hyde Park’s initial public offering stated that “Hyde Park will not enter into a business combination unless either [Hyde Park] or [Hyde Park’s] public stockholders acquire at least a controlling interest in the target business” and cautioned investors of a “potential change in control if [Hyde Park] acquire[s] one or more target businesses for stock” or in a transaction involving the issuance of common stock. Although Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park stockholders will not acquire a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger, and instead will own approximately 38.8% of the outstanding common stock assuming no conversions of Hyde Park common stock and no Private Equity At a minimum, the Hyde Park stockholders will own approximately 19.5% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock assuming maximum conversion of Hyde Park common stock and maximum Private Equity Financing.

Background of the Merger

The terms of the merger are the result of arms-length negotiations between representatives of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the merger and related transactions.

Hyde Park was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 24, 2011, as a blank check company, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses.

On August 7, 2012, Hyde Park closed its initial public offering of 7,500,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share, generating total gross proceeds of $75,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Hyde Park consummated the private sale of 693,750 shares of common stock to its sponsors, at $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $6,937,500. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the public offering expenses, the total net proceeds to Hyde Park from the public offering were $72,768,238. Of these net proceeds, $71,812,500, together with $6,937,500 raised from the private sale of common stock, for a total of $78,750,000, was deposited in a trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and the remaining proceeds of approximately $955,738 became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The initial public offering was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 that became effective August 1, 2012. Prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering, neither Hyde Park nor anyone acting on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a business combination with Hyde Park.

Following its initial public offering, representatives of Hyde Park contacted numerous investment banks, private equity firms, business brokers and other third parties in an effort to identify a suitable target company for an acquisition. Hyde Park’s officers and directors and their affiliates also brought to Hyde Park’s attention acquisition candidates. As described in Hyde Park’s IPO prospectus, Hyde Park has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective business combination. As stated in its IPO prospectus, Hyde Park had not established any specific attributes or criteria (financial or otherwise) for prospective target businesses, but believed that its management would consider factors such as the following in evaluating a prospective target business:

• financial condition and results of operation;

• growth potential;

• brand recognition and potential;

• experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;

• capital requirements;

• competitive position;

• barriers to entry;

• stage of development of the products, processes or services;

• existing distribution and potential for expansion;

• degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services;

• proprietary aspects of products and the extent of intellectual property or other protection for products or formulas;

• impact of regulation on the business;

87

• regulatory environment of the industry;

• costs associated with effecting the business combination;

• industry leadership, sustainability of market share and attractiveness of market industries in which a target business participates; and

• macro competitive dynamics in the industry within which the company competes.

During the search for a suitable business combination candidate, Hyde Park reviewed approximately 75 business combination opportunities and entered into discussions, including meetings with management, with 13 possible target businesses (or their representatives), including Santa Maria Energy. Of the approximately 75 business combination opportunities reviewed by Hyde Park, Hyde Park determined to pursue 13 opportunities, including a transaction with Santa Maria Energy, based on the view of Hyde Park’s management that such opportunities presented a sufficient number of the investment characteristics noted above. The earliest discussions with respect to the 12 business combination opportunities considered by Hyde Park other than Santa Maria Energy commenced in October 2012, and discussions with respect to the last such opportunity remaining under consideration by Hyde Park concluded in November 2013. Discussions with respect to 10 of these other business combination opportunities had been terminated prior to September 30, 2013, the date that Hyde Park initiated its consideration of the merger with Santa Maria Energy. Discussions with respect to the remaining two business combinations under consideration at such time were terminated between October and November 2013, with the last of such discussions terminated by Hyde Park on November 27, 2013 upon execution of the merger agreement with Santa Maria Energy.

The discussions with respect to the opportunities other than with Santa Maria Energy reached varying levels of development. Discussions with eight of the 12 opportunities ended early in the process: either after preliminary meetings with target company management (four opportunities); after a preliminary indication of interest was provided by Hyde Park but rejected by the target company (three opportunities); or after Hyde Park had advanced to, but was rejected in, a second round of bidding for a target company (one opportunity). Hyde Park attempted to negotiate non-binding letters of intent with four of the 12 opportunities but was successful in reaching agreement on the principal terms of a possible transaction with only one of such opportunities. Discussions with respect to the three opportunities where principal terms could not be reached by the parties were terminated following the parties’ inability to resolve, in one case, valuation disagreements, in another case, concerns over transaction complexity and uncertainty, and, in the third case, after the seller determined to reconsider its strategic alternatives for the target company. Negotiations with respect to the one opportunity where a non-binding letter of intent was executed were terminated in September 2013 after the parties could not agree on a purchase price adjustment in respect of certain diligence concerns raised by Hyde Park.

While a majority of the 12 other business combinations considered by Hyde Park would have likely resulted in Hyde Park stockholders acquiring a controlling interest in the target company, no transaction considered or rejected by Hyde Park was considered or rejected based on such fact. The final prospectus with respect to Hyde Park’s initial public offering stated that “Hyde Park will not enter into a business combination unless either [Hyde Park] or [Hyde Park’s] public stockholders acquire at least a controlling interest in the target business” and cautioned investors of a “potential change in control if [Hyde Park] acquire[s] one or more target businesses for stock” or in a transaction involving the issuance of common stock. Although Santa Maria Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park stockholders will not acquire a controlling interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the merger. Hyde Park does not believe the disclosure contained in its IPO prospectus precluded Hyde Park from pursuing a transaction in which Hyde Park stockholders do not have a controlling interest. The substantive merits of a possible transaction and target company, and the extent to which the transaction and target company met the investment criteria noted above, were the ultimate drivers of Hyde Park management’s determination of whether or not to pursue a potential business combination. For the foregoing reasons, in determining to approve the merger, Hyde Park’s board of directors did not consider the non-controlling nature of the merger to be a material negative factor. The Hyde Park board of directors reached such conclusion based on its belief that Hyde Park had broad discretion in pursuing a business combination, notwithstanding the disclosure included in its initial public offering prospectus.

In December 2012, in anticipation of the receipt of approval from Santa Barbara County for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project, Santa Maria Energy engaged an investment firm, Lazard Frères & Co. LLC (“Lazard Frères”), to assist it in raising the funds necessary to pursue its development plans, including with respect to this project. The desire to raise the necessary funds to pursue the development plan was the principal factor behind the decision of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers to pursue a capital raising strategy. The Orcutt Diatomite project was initially approved by the Santa Barbara Planning Commission in September 2013 and final approval of the project was obtained in November 2013. Based on the Santa Maria Energy board of managers’ understanding of the current state of the capital markets and the cash position of Hyde Park, the board of managers determined the Hyde Park transaction would enable Santa Maria Energy to access the capital needed to execute on its capital expenditure plans in conjunction with its efforts to consummate a private equity financing.

Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Kayne Anderson”), an affiliate of the Kayne Investors, was among the investment firms contacted by Laurence Levy of Hyde Park with respect to a potential business combination. During a conference call held on September 30, 2013, Charles Yates III, a partner of Kayne Anderson and member of the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy, described Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas exploration and development business, and Laurence Levy requested a meeting with Santa Maria Energy’s management.

During the first week of October 2013, Laurence Levy and Edward Levy, members of Hyde Park’s management team, and John Ryan, a consultant to Hyde Park, held an in-person meeting in Los Angeles, where David Pratt, Kevin McMillan and Beth Marino, members of Santa Maria Energy’s management team, made presentations regarding Santa Maria Energy’s assets, development plans and capital needs as well as various aspects of the oil and natural gas industry relevant to Santa Maria Energy’s business. David Cecil and Jeremy Griggs of Lazard Frères also attended the meeting as financial advisors to Santa Maria Energy. At this meeting, Santa Maria Energy’s management team discussed, and answered questions regarding, Santa Maria Energy’s properties, the geological attributes of its properties, then-available reserve reports, the permitting process for its projects, its proposed drilling and extraction techniques and its five-year development plan. Based on this meeting, Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy agreed to pursue further discussions about a possible transaction.

During the second and third weeks of October 2013, Hyde Park conducted a due diligence review of Santa Maria Energy’s operations, existing financing, organizational structure and other aspects of Santa Maria Energy’s business. During the second week of October 2013, Hyde Park also contacted Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) to assist Hyde Park with its valuation of Santa Maria Energy. Hyde Park also engaged PetroTech Resources Company, Inc. (“PetroTech”), an engineering consulting firm that specializes in the petroleum industry, to assist Hyde Park with its technical analysis of Santa Maria Energy’s properties and prospects as well as Hollister & Brace PC, a law firm with expertise in federal, state and local environmental regulation applicable to Santa Maria Energy’s business, to assist Hyde Park with its analysis of the regulatory landscape in which Santa Maria Energy operates, its prospects for obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and otherwise operating within the confines of applicable regulations and permits.

During this time, Santa Maria Energy initiated discussions with its legal advisor, Latham & Watkins LLP, regarding a proposed business combination with Hyde Park and possible transaction structures. Latham & Watkins LLP commenced discussions with Hyde Park’s legal counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, about the tax impacts of various combination structures. Meanwhile, Santa Maria Energy conducted a due diligence review of Hyde Park and its management through its contacts at Lazard Frères. The Lazard Frères team was aware of Hyde Park and of Laurence Levy’s background and reputation in completing successful special purpose acquisition corporation transactions.

On October 17, 2013, Mr. McMillan and Kevin Yung, representing Santa Maria Energy’s management team, traveled to Houston for a meeting at Barclays’ office with the Barclays team and Edward Levy of Hyde Park. Laurence Levy and Mr. Ryan, representatives of Hyde Park, and representatives of PetroTech joined the meeting by telephone along with Mr. Pratt and Ms. Marino, representatives of Santa Maria Energy. The meeting

89

was arranged by Hyde Park to assist Hyde Park, Barclays and PetroTech in performing due diligence of Santa Maria Energy. During the meeting, the Santa Maria Energy team made presentations regarding Santa Maria Energy’s assets, development plans and capital needs as well as the regulatory framework applicable to the oil and gas industry within California.

During the third week of October 2013, Hyde Park continued its due diligence and Santa Maria Energy provided Hyde Park with access to its field operations. On October 22, 2013, Mr. Laurence Levy, Mr. Edward Levy and Mr. Ryan with Hyde Park held a day-long meeting with Santa Maria Energy’s management team, including Mr. Pratt, Mr. McMillan, Ms. Marino and Mr. Yung and operational personnel to discuss Santa Maria Energy’s project area, technical aspects of the opportunity, internal management structures and internal controls. Hyde Park’s management team also toured Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt field and Santa Maria Valley field. During this time period, Hyde Park also consulted with Brad DeWitt of PetroTech and Peter Candy, Esq. of Hollister & Brace PC to analyze the prospects for Santa Maria Energy’s properties and the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals, and the potential conditions applicable to such approvals.

Mr. Candy of Hollister & Brace assisted Hyde Park in its due diligence review of the local regulatory climate for oil and gas exploration projects such as Santa Maria Energy’s and, in particular, the viability of Santa Maria Energy’s oil drilling and production plan and related recycled water pipeline pending before the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, from a regulatory perspective. Hollister & Brace also advised Hyde Park regarding the possible outcomes of Santa Maria Energy’s appeal hearing scheduled before the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on November 12, 2013. Hollister & Brace advised Hyde Park that the issue on appeal arose under the California Environmental Quality Act, which requires state and local agencies to identify significant environmental impacts of projects coming before them for approval, and to avoid or mitigate those impacts to the extent feasible. Hollister & Brace indicated that the Environmental Defense Center was appealing the Planning Commission’s approval of an emissions mitigation threshold of 29% below “business as usual,” seeking a bright-line threshold of 10,000 metric ton carbon dioxide equivalent per year (which Mr. Candy believed would require Santa Maria Energy to purchase additional carbon offsets). Hollister & Brace also advised Hyde Park of the potential risk that future permits could be denied, or subjected to more burdensome emissions standards than the emissions standards ultimately resulting from the appeal hearing, depending upon a variety of factors, including the political climate at the time permits are sought and Santa Maria Energy’s standing within the community.

In connection with Hyde Park’s due diligence, Petrotech reviewed technical and operational data available with respect to the proposed Santa Maria Energy project in the Orcutt Diatomite as of October 2013. As part of that review, Petrotech reviewed actual and historical production and recovery data, reviewed historical reserve reports prepared by Santa Maria Energy’s third party petroleum engineer and appraiser, NSAI, and met with Santa Maria Energy’s technical and operational personnel. Petrotech also reviewed technical and operational data provided by Santa Maria Energy, such as geological attributes, development timelines, drilling rig services, production facilities, permitting, and gas supply. Brad DeWitt, a licensed engineer and president of Petrotech, discussed Petrotech’s findings with Hyde Park at a meeting held in late October 2013, and during conference calls held during early November 2013. Petrotech advised Hyde Park that Santa Maria Energy’s proposed development plans (including future oil recovery volumes) were reasonable and most likely both technically and operationally capable of being achieved. Petrotech noted, however, that interpreting technical and operational viability is always subject to risk.

During late October and early November 2013, the parties, together with their respective advisors, including Barclays and Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, on behalf of Hyde Park, and Lazard Frères and Latham & Watkins LLP, on behalf of Santa Maria Energy, held several conference calls to discuss various transaction structures for a combination of Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park. The primary business combination alternatives reviewed by the parties included the “UP-C structure,” a “statutory merger” and a “hi-low vote merger.” For each of the proposed structures, the parties evaluated the tax and other related impacts on Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders and its benefit plans as well as potential tax implications for Hyde Park and its stockholders. It was determined that all of the proposed structures would result in a liquidity event requiring settlement of awards

90

under Santa Maria Energy’s Phantom Equity Plan and that this cost would have to be factored into the economics of the transaction. The parties acknowledged the statutory merger, whereby Santa Maria Energy would be merged directly into Hyde Park and the Santa Maria Energy unitholders would receive Hyde Park shares in exchange for their units, was the least complicated transaction to implement. However, a statutory merger would only be deemed a tax-free merger to the Santa Maria Energy unitholders if the Hyde Park shareholders owned less than 20% of the combined entity at closing, and given the relative valuation of the parties it was not expected that this threshold would be met. The parties also had concerns about the UP-C structure. Under this structure, Hyde Park would purchase an equity interest in Santa Maria Energy and the existing unitholders of Santa Maria Energy would have the right to exchange their units for shares in Hyde Park after the merger, which exchange would be a taxable event for the unitholders. Further, the parties determined that the UP-C structure would result in a lower market capitalization for Hyde Park that would potentially impact the availability of investors in the combined company in a potential private equity financing. Next, the parties evaluated the use of a hi-low vote merger to accomplish the business combination. Under this scenario, the Santa Maria Energy unitholders would receive voting stock in Hyde Park that would give them the right to control in excess of 80% of the combined company with certain redemption and forced conversion rights. The structure was reviewed as an alternative to achieve the tax-free nature of a statutory merger. However, it was concluded there was tax risk involved with a hi-low vote merger due to the difference in the relative valuation and control rights of the voting stock owned by the parties.

While each of the other structures reviewed involved less steps to conclude the transaction, because of the negative aspects of those structures, the parties ultimately concluded to pursue a so-called “double dummy” merger structure to facilitate the parties’ tax and other objectives. By utilizing a “double dummy” structure, for tax and accounting purposes, Santa Maria Energy would be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in a reverse merger and recapitalization. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy’s assets, liabilities and results of operations would become the historical financial statements of the new corporation, and Hyde Park’s assets, liabilities and results of operations would become consolidated with Santa Maria Energy effective as of the closing date of the merger. No step-up in basis for tax purposes or intangible assets would be recorded using this structure, and the entire transaction should not result in any tax liability for either party. Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy, together with their respective financial advisors, Lazard Frères and Barclays, also negotiated the relative valuation of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy during this time. The parties also discussed timing constraints imposed by Hyde Park’s certificate of incorporation and determined to negotiate definitive transaction agreements to facilitate a closing prior to May 1, 2014.

During the process of considering the possible opportunity with Hyde Park, Santa Maria Energy management kept its board of managers informed of developments concerning the opportunity. On October 28, 2013, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers met telephonically to discuss the potential Hyde Park transaction. David Cecil of Lazard Frères and Michael Dillard of Latham & Watkins LLP attended the board meeting for purposes of answering questions regarding Hyde Park and special purpose acquisition corporation transactions generally. Mr. Cecil also gave an update to the board regarding Lazard Frères’ efforts to date to raise growth capital for Santa Maria Energy. During this time, the board of managers discussed the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing the Hyde Park transaction and other options available to the company in order to fulfill its capital needs to effect its recently approved Orcutt Diatomite project and other development plans. Mr. Yates advised the board of managers that he and Laurence Levy were in conversations regarding the terms the Kayne Investors would require related to its preferred membership interests. The board of managers also discussed the need to continue its private equity financing efforts, which had been delayed due to Santa Maria Energy’s ongoing regulatory process, in conjunction with the Hyde Park transaction given the available cash in the Hyde Park trust account as well as the added burdens of becoming a public company. During this meeting, the board of managers reviewed valuation considerations for the proposed transaction with Hyde Park, including Santa Maria Energy’s expected range of year-end 2013 proved reserve amounts. Santa Maria Energy management discussed various valuation methodologies with the board and discounts typically applied for public company transactions as compared to a potential private market transaction for energy deals. The Santa Maria Energy board of managers authorized company management to continue negotiations with Hyde Park regarding a potential business combination transaction.

91

During November 2013, the parties negotiated the definitive terms of the merger and the Merger Agreement, including the terms of the preferred stock that would be issued to the Kayne Investors upon completion of the merger. On November 6, 2013, the Kayne Investors forwarded proposed terms for treatment of the Kayne preferred stock, which terms included redemption terms, protective provisions (including board representation) and applicable dividend rate. On November 7, 2013, Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park discussed the terms proposed by the Kayne Investors with emphasis on the protective provisions, and Hyde Park returned its comments to the Kayne Investors. The Kayne Investors discussed with Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park the nature of the protective provisions and the existing rights held by the Kayne Investors with respect to their preferred membership interests in Santa Maria Energy. The parties also discussed the default rights available to the Kayne Investors in the event the combined company does not comply with the preferred terms. On November 25, 2013, the final terms for the preferred stock were agreed upon and included in the form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation for Santa Maria Energy Corporation that was attached as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement.

On November 11, 2013, Latham & Watkins LLP delivered an initial draft of a merger agreement to Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP for review and comment. Latham & Watkins LLP also commenced discussions with DLA Piper LLP, legal advisor to the Kayne Investors, regarding the disposition of the Kayne Investors’ preferred membership interests in connection with the merger transaction.

During the first and second weeks of November 2013, Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy negotiated the enterprise value of Santa Maria Energy in order to derive the common equity value from which the exchange ratio in the merger was ultimately determined. Hyde Park considered Santa Maria Energy’s internal valuation, which was based, in part, on NSAI’s then-available reserve report and, with respect to the Santa Maria Valley and Northwest Casmalia projects, geological reviews and analyses performed by Santa Maria Energy’s technical personnel and limited well data. Hyde Park discussed with Barclays and Petrotech the risks reflected in Santa Maria Energy’s internal valuation as well as the type and magnitude of risk adjustments that Hyde Park could consider in assessing the value of Santa Maria Energy. Based upon such review, and for purposes of negotiating Santa Maria Energy’s enterprise value, Hyde Park determined to apply varying discounting factors to reflect more conservative valuation assumptions than those used in Santa Maria Energy’s internal valuation. Through the application of these more conservative assumptions, which were applied on a sensitivity analysis basis, Hyde Park derived a range of potential enterprise values from $196 million to $284 million. The material adjustments applied by Hyde Park were:

• Hyde Park assumed a risk factor of 64% for the PUD reserves in the Orcutt Diatomite fields to reflect the potential for greater permitting risk;

• Hyde Park assumed a 32% risk factor for probable and possible reserves and resource potential in the Orcutt Diatomite field to reflect the potential for greater geological risks that could result in lower than anticipated estimated ultimate recovery values for each of the underlying wells;

• Hyde Park assumed more conservative future oil prices ($95 per barrel versus the $110 per barrel assumed by Santa Maria Energy); and

• Hyde Park applied a range of discount rates of 6% to 14% depending upon the reserve or resource category to future cash flows.

Hyde Park, in consultation with its advisors, believed that the foregoing adjustments were justifiable in connection with negotiation of the exchange ratio in the merger. Through negotiations with Santa Maria Energy, the parties agreed upon the mid-point of the range, or $240 million, as the enterprise valuation of Santa Maria Energy for purposes of establishing the exchange ratio in the merger.

On November 12, 2013, Mr. Laurence Levy and Mr. Edward Levy of Hyde Park visited Santa Maria Energy’s corporate offices in connection with its permitting process. On that date, the Santa Barbara County

92

Board of Supervisors voted to approve a planned development project and related emissions standards. Thereafter, the parties discussed their respective cost estimates as a result of the emissions protocols set in place by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors and finalized the agreed valuation of Santa Maria Energy and the exchange ratio that would be applicable in the merger.

In order to calculate the exchange ratio, Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy calculated the common equity value of Santa Maria Energy by reducing the negotiated enterprise value to account for approximately $17.1 million of outstanding indebtedness under Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility, $75.6 million of other liabilities, including liabilities of approximately $5.4 million under Santa Maria Energy’s phantom equity and profits interest plans, and $50.0 million of face amount outstanding redeemable preferred units. The resulting equity value was then divided by 50 million (the number of common membership units of Santa Maria Energy) and $10.50 (the anticipated minimum price per share of Hyde Park common stock as of the anticipated special meeting date).

The Santa Maria Energy board of managers met two additional times in November, on November 21, 2013 and November 27, 2013, to review progress of the negotiations with Hyde Park and to review drafts of the proposed merger agreement. During these meetings, the board of managers considered factors relating to the determination of the merger consideration to be paid to Hyde Park and its stockholders in connection with the transaction. The factors considered by the board of managers relating to the determination of the appropriate exchange ratio included Santa Maria Energy’s enterprise value based on its most recent reserve report from NSAI plus the company’s current assets and liabilities, including the Kayne Investors’ preferred interests, as compared to the relative assets and liabilities of Hyde Park. The board of managers also reviewed the amounts payable to Santa Maria Energy participants of the Phantom Equity Plan. Under the terms of the Phantom Equity Plan, the transaction with Hyde Park would be deemed a liquidation event requiring cash payments to participants in the plan. Further, the board of managers evaluated the propriety of making reimbursements to Santa Maria Energy management for voluntary salary reductions, which were made in October 2012 (and August 2012 for Mr. Pratt) as a result of the prolonged regulatory process for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project, upon the successful closing of a transaction with Hyde Park.

During this time period, discussions between Hyde Park management and Santa Maria Energy management continued. The parties discussed valuation issues, voting agreements and lock-up periods, registration rights, director appointments and terms, minimum cash requirements of Hyde Park and the terms applicable to the Kayne Investors. Additionally, the parties had extensive discussions regarding the terms of a potential private equity financing that would fund the additional capital necessary to fully execute Santa Maria Energy’s development plans for its recently approved Orcutt Diatomite project.

The Merger Agreement was executed by the parties on November 27, 2013. In addition, on November 27, 2013 and in contemplation of the merger and the Merger Agreement, members owning a majority of preferred units and members owning at least a majority of the outstanding common units in Santa Maria Energy approved an amendment to Santa Maria Energy’s amended and restated limited liability agreement, which amendment provides that approval of the merger and the Merger Agreement by Santa Maria Energy unitholders requires the approval of members owning a majority of preferred units and members owning at least 29% of the outstanding common units. An amendment to the Merger Agreement was executed December 13, 2013 to clarify an item related to the calculation of the awards payable pursuant to Santa Maria Energy’s Phantom Equity Plan. When the Phantom Equity Plan was originally adopted, the membership interests of Santa Maria Energy were denominated in percentage interests. Santa Maria Energy subsequently adopted its amended and restated limited liability company agreement that reflects the ownership interests in units, rather than percentage interests. This change required a clarification to the Phantom Equity Plan to achieve the correct payouts based on a unit valuation versus a percentage interest valuation. The amendment to the Merger Agreement did not result in any change to the awards payable under the Phantom Equity Plan or otherwise modify the economics of the merger.

Factors Considered by the Hyde Park Board of Directors in Approving the Merger

Hyde Park’s Board of Directors approved the merger concluding, as discussed below, that the transaction provided Hyde Park’s shareholders with an opportunity to invest in a well-managed business with significant potential upside. The Hyde Park board of directors based its conclusions on its evaluation of Santa Maria Energy through discussions with Santa Maria Energy’s management, representatives of Kayne Anderson and review of financial, legal and operating materials pertaining to Santa Maria Energy and its business. The board of directors also relied on the expertise and advice of various third party consultants and advisors with respect to technical, industry and valuation matters relevant to an investment in Santa Maria Energy and the U.S. oil exploration and production industry in general. These advisors included: Barclays with respect to general business and financial analyses of Santa Maria Energy, PetroTech Resources Company, Inc. with respect to engineering, geological, environmental and other technical aspects of Santa Maria Energy’s properties, and Hollister & Brace PC with respect to regulatory aspects of Santa Maria Energy’s business. Hyde Park’s advisors assisted Hyde Park’s management and board of directors in their assessment and evaluation of Santa Maria Energy’s business and proposed valuation and analysis of related materials provided by Santa Maria Energy with respect to its historic and projected financial performance, the basis of its resource classifications, the technological aspects of its business operations and the legal and regulatory environment in which it operates. None of Hyde Park’s advisors provided Hyde Park with any independent valuations or reports materially related to the merger.

Hyde Park’s board of directors considered whether to retain a third party financial adviser for purposes of evaluating the fairness of the merger and, if appropriate, providing an opinion regarding the fairness of the merger to Hyde Park’s stockholders from a financial point of view, but ultimately determined that, given the experience and knowledge of the members of the Hyde Park board of directors, and the board of directors did not require an opinion of a financial advisor to assist in its evaluation of the proposed transaction. In determining not to seek a third-party fairness opinion with respect to the merger, Hyde Park’s board of directors considered Hyde Park’s limited remaining capital available to it prior to completion of a business combination, the remaining time before Hyde Park’s mandatory May 1, 2014 liquidation date and potential delay in the transaction process that could result from seeking such an opinion. In determining to forego the receipt of a fairness opinion, Hyde Park’s board of directors concluded that its members collectively possessed the requisite experience and knowledge to reach a sound conclusion regarding the fairness and advisability of the merger without obtaining such an opinion. In reaching such conclusion, Hyde Park’s board of directors considered the decades of business and transactional experience collectively possessed by the members of its board. The absence of a third party fairness opinion was not considered by Hyde Park’s board of directors as a material factor in reaching its conclusion as to the fairness of the merger to Hyde Park’s stockholders.

Hyde Park’s board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the merger. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Hyde Park Board of Directors did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the Hyde Park board of directors may have given different weight to different factors.

A discussion of the favorable factors supporting Hyde Park’s board of directors determination to approve the merger is set forth below. In determining to approve the merger, Hyde Park’s board of directors also considered the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The factors discussed below together with the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitute all of the material factors considered by Hyde Park’s board of directors in determining to approve the merger.

Hyde Park believes that Santa Maria Energy, and the U.S. oil exploration and production industry in general, are very attractive for a number of reasons, including the following:

• The potential value of Santa Maria Energy’s proved developed reserves, its productive wells and the potential resources available in its undeveloped properties, in each case as reflected in available reserve reports.

94

• The projected capital expenditure that would likely be required to access Santa Maria Energy’s reserves and the belief that all capital expenditures could be financed by the merger, private equity financing, future cash flows and asset-backed debt financing.

• The belief that the Kayne Investors are well-recognized and highly credible investors in the energy sector, and the fact that the Kayne Investors will continue to hold their substantial investment in Santa Maria Energy (through Santa Maria Energy Corporation) following the merger and retain two seats on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors following the merger.

• Santa Maria Energy has received all necessary permitting approvals from the Santa Barbara Planning Commission as well as the Board of Supervisors to proceed with drilling and operations for 110 wells, mitigating one of the principal risks associated with the investment with respect to Santa Maria Energy’s development plans.

• Santa Maria Energy has been a proven operator, for a period in excess of nine years, in the northern Santa Barbara County, California, and has deep domain expertise with respect to drilling and operating in accordance with the oil and natural gas industry’s stringent federal, state and local regulatory environments.

• Santa Maria Energy’s current management team is well seasoned with extensive experience in the oil and natural gas industry and strong knowledge of the California market, and is expected to remain with Santa Maria Energy.

• The belief that the use of cyclic and continuous steam technology by Santa Maria Energy to exploit its Diatomite resources and the use of conventional and unconventional horizontal drilling to exploit its Monterey resources should allow Santa Maria Energy to maximize its extensive estimated reserves over the next twenty years.

• Oil produced by Santa Maria Energy will be delivered to an existing oil pipeline by a to-be-constructed pipeline of approximately two miles in length which will be owned outright by Santa Maria Energy. The oil pipeline is expected to cost $1.5 million, which will be provided by the funds received from this transaction. This will eliminate the need to truck oil off-site, likely reducing Santa Maria Energy’s cost structure considerably. Santa Maria Energy has received regulatory entitlement from the County of Santa Barbara to build this pipeline.

• All water used on-site for steaming operations will be provided in the form of reclamation water sourced from the Laguna County Sanitation District (“LCSD”) and will be delivered to the drilling and production locations via a to-be-built pipeline approximately eight miles in length which will be owned and operated by the LCSD. The pipeline is expected to cost $7.9 million, which will be provided by the funds received from this transaction. Santa Maria Energy has received regulatory entitlement from the County of Santa Barbara to build this pipeline.

• Hyde Park believes that Santa Maria Energy utilizes appropriate hedging strategies in order to eliminate basis risk for expected oil production and sales over a rolling four year time horizon.

• NSAI currently provides geological and geoscience services to Santa Maria Energy in the form of periodic reports outlining proved reserves and related forecasted future revenue. Hyde Park believes that NSAI is regarded by the U.S. oil and natural gas industry as the pre-eminent third party independent firm for the provision of geological engineering services. NSAI will continue to be retained by Santa Maria Energy on a post-closing basis in this capacity.

• Santa Maria Energy’s reputation in the Santa Barbara County community, including among certain environmental groups, as a good corporate citizen.

The 80% Test

Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, Hyde Park’s initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in Hyde Park’s trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such business combination (net of deferred

95

commissions and tax obligations). In connection with its approval of the merger, Hyde Park’s board of directors determined that the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as of the date of the merger agreement exceeded, by a substantial amount, an amount equal to 80% of the approximately $78,750,000 in Hyde Park’s trust account as of such date, or $63,000,000 (without regard to deferred commissions and tax obligations).

In reaching its conclusion, Hyde Park’s board of directors utilized as the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy the $240,000,000 enterprise valuation of Santa Maria Energy agreed to by the parties in determining the exchange ratio in the merger. In connection with negotiation of the exchange ratio, Hyde Park determined a range of possible values for Santa Maria Energy ($196 million to $284 million) by applying to certain assumptions used in Santa Maria Energy’s PV-10 analysis various discount factors reflective of a more conservative view of the regulatory permitting and geological risks associated with realizing Santa Maria Energy’s PV-10, as well as future oil sales prices. The $240,000,000 enterprise valuation upon which the exchange ratio in the merger is based was ultimately the product of negotiations between the parties. For additional information regarding the discounts applied by Hyde Park to determine a range of possible values, see “—Background of the Merger.”

Factors Considered by the Santa Maria Energy Board of Managers in Approving the Merger

The Santa Maria Energy board of managers, acting with the advice and assistance of Latham & Watkins LLP and Lazard Frères as advisors, evaluated the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In approving the Merger Agreement, and declaring them to be advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy, and in recommending that Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers considered a number of factors. A description of these factors is set forth below.

In the course of evaluating the terms of the merger, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers consulted with management, financial advisors and legal advisors and, in reaching its decision, considered the following material factors, each of which it believed supported its approval of the Merger Agreement:

• the cash position of Hyde Park, including that at least $40.0 million of cash in Hyde Park’s trust account would be available to Santa Maria Energy Corporation for working capital and business development needs;

• general industry, economic and market conditions, both on a historical and on a prospective basis;

• the option to continue to operate on a stand-alone basis and pursue only a private placement of securities to raise capital to pursue its development plans;

• the risks associated with such strategic alternatives, compared with the opportunity for Santa Maria Energy unitholders to receive stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, a public company;

• the implied valuation of the combined company and the percentage ownership of Santa Maria Energy Corporation held by Santa Maria Energy unitholders as a result of the merger;

• Santa Maria Energy’s ability to raise additional capital through equity financing or to become a public company through other methods;

• the opportunity for Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders to realize substantial value based on the receipt of 0.2857 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock for each common unit of Santa Maria Energy they hold upon the merger;

• the fact that Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares will be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, offering increased liquidity to Santa Maria Energy unitholders;

• the financial and other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement as reviewed by the Santa Maria Energy board of managers (see “Merger Agreement”) and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable, customary and were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties;

96

• the Santa Maria Energy board of managers’ belief that it obtained the highest consideration per unit that Hyde Park was willing to agree to, taking into account the terms resulting from extensive negotiations between the parties;

• the Santa Maria Energy board of managers’ understanding of the current state of the capital markets;

• the likelihood that the merger will be consummated in light of the limited conditions to Hyde Park’s obligations to complete the merger, including lack of necessary regulatory approvals.

The Santa Maria Energy board of managers also considered the following risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Merger Agreement and the merger:

• the risk that the merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all;

• the possibility that, although the merger provides Santa Maria Energy unitholders the opportunity to receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares at an implied valuation, the price of Santa Maria Energy Corporation shares may decrease significantly after the consummation of the merger;

• the risks and costs to Santa Maria Energy if the merger does not close, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition, the potential effect on business relationships, and the transaction costs, including legal fees, incurred in connection with the merger;

• the fact that Santa Maria Energy entered into the Merger Agreement with a “blank check” corporation organized to effect a business combination with one or more businesses;

• the restrictions on the conduct of Santa Maria Energy’s business prior to the consummation of the merger, requiring Santa Maria Energy to conduct its business only in the ordinary course, subject to specific limitations or Hyde Park’s consent, which may delay or prevent Santa Maria Energy from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending consummation of the merger;

• the interests of Santa Maria Energy’s significant unitholders, managers and executive officers in the merger (see “The Merger—Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger”);

• the early stage nature of Santa Maria Energy would likely result in public company status as a micro-cap that could impact trading and analyst coverage;

• the additional costs associated with being a public company;

• the impact of the transaction with Hyde Park on Santa Maria Energy’s regulatory process for its Orcutt Diatomite project;

• the complexities and costs associated with the proposed “double dummy” merger structure;

• the relative dilution to the existing members of Santa Maria Energy as a result of the merger transaction with Hyde Park and the contemplated Private Equity Financing;

• the risk that Hyde Park may not have the minimum required cash of $40 million in its trust account at closing in the event there are a substantial number of conversions by IPO shareholders; and

• the fact that Hyde Park must conclude a transaction no later than May 1, 2014 and possible delays outside the parties’ control that could result during the process that could cause the transaction to fail regardless of the parties’ efforts.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Santa Maria Energy board of managers is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Santa Maria Energy board of managers, including the substantive and procedural factors considered. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers did not find it practicable to quantify, and did not quantify, or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific

97

factors considered in reaching its conclusion. In addition, each of the members of the Santa Maria Energy board of managers applied his own personal business judgment to the process and may have given differing weights to different factors. In arriving at their recommendation, the members of the Santa Maria Energy board of managers also considered the interests that certain executive officers of Santa Maria Energy may have with respect to the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as unitholders generally, as described below under “Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger.” Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers realized there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above. However, the board of managers concluded the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of entering into the merger.

Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information Provided to Hyde Park Management

Santa Maria Energy does not intend as a matter of course to make public long-term projections as to its future revenues, production, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, Santa Maria Energy is including the following summary of the unaudited prospective financial and operating information because this information was made available to Hyde Park management in connection with its evaluation of the merger. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that Santa Maria Energy or Hyde Park or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.

Neither Santa Maria Energy’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. Santa Maria Energy’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report included in this prospectus relates to historical financial information. It does not extend to prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

The unaudited prospective financial and operating information prepared by the management of Santa Maria Energy was, in general, prepared for its internal use and the anticipated Private Equity Financing and is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial and operating information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders are urged to review the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.” See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” The unaudited prospective financial and operating information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor was it prepared with a view toward compliance with GAAP, published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial and operating information. In addition, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information requires significant estimates and assumptions that make it inherently less comparable to the similarly titled GAAP measures in the historical GAAP financial statements of Santa Maria Energy. Furthermore, the following unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. For the purposes of the tables set forth below, EBITDA is generally the amount of the relevant company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses for a specified time period.

98

The following table reflects the material unaudited prospective financial and operating data regarding Santa Maria Energy provided to Hyde Park and its board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the merger. The data reflects certain oil and gas pricing assumptions reviewed and discussed with Santa Maria Energy management.

	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017
Daily production (Boed)		367		568		3,546		5,808		4,740
EBITDA ($ in millions)	$	0.7	$	2.0	$	65.8	$	110.7	$	73.5
Capital Expenditures ($ in millions)	$	4.5	$	105.9	$	138.8	$	71.4	$	267.5
Pricing Assumptions:
Oil price ($/Bbl)	$	101.93	$	97.22	$	91.10	$	88.11	$	85.28

No assurances can be given that the assumptions made in preparing the above unaudited prospective financial and operating information will accurately reflect future conditions. The estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited prospective financial and operating information involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and future business decisions which may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Santa Maria Energy and will be beyond the control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation following the merger. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions will prove to be accurate or that the projected results will be realized, and actual results likely will differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in the unaudited prospective financial and operating information, whether or not the merger is completed.

In addition, although presented with numerical specificity, the above unaudited prospective financial and operating information reflects numerous assumptions and estimates as to future events made by Santa Maria Energy management that it believed were reasonable at the time the unaudited prospective financial and operating information was prepared. The above unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not give effect to the merger or the related transactions. Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders are urged to review the section entitled “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a description of Santa Maria Energy’s reported results of operations and financial condition and capital resources.

Readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the unaudited prospective financial and operating information set forth above. No representation is made by Santa Maria Energy Corporation, Hyde Park, Santa Maria Energy, their respective financial advisors or any other person to any Hyde Park stockholder or Santa Maria Energy unitholder regarding the ultimate performance of Santa Maria Energy compared to the information included in the above unaudited prospective financial and operating information. The inclusion of unaudited prospective financial and operating information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that such prospective financial and operating information will be an accurate prediction of future events, and such information should not be relied on as such.

Mr. Pratt and Laurence S. Levy are the current directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Information about Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s officers and directors can be found in the sections entitled “Additional Information About Hyde Park” and “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy.”

The Santa Maria Energy Corporation Board of Directors and Election of Directors

Upon consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors will have seven members. Pursuant to NASDAQ rules, within a year of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors must consist of a majority of independent directors. Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to be in compliance with these rules. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, an employee of the company and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with the company. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, the board of directors will make a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Under the applicable NASDAQ rules, Santa Maria Energy Corporation is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent audit committee requirements set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii) on the same schedule as it is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent audit committee requirement pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) under the Exchange Act, which requires (1) one independent member at the time of listing; (2) a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing; and (3) all independent members within one year of listing.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors will be divided into three classes, with each class serving a three-year term and until the successors of each such class have been elected and qualified, provided that the initial term for certain classes of directors will be one, two or three years, depending on the class. Messrs. Pratt and                      will serve as Class I directors, and their initial term of office will expire at the 2015 annual stockholders meeting. Messrs. Iverson and Edward Levy will serve as Class II directors, with an initial term of office expiring at the 2016 annual meeting. Messrs. Powell, Yates and Laurence S. Levy will serve as Class III directors, with an initial term of office expiring at the 2017 annual meeting. Pursuant to applicable NASDAQ rules, the board of directors will have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, the principal duties of which are described below.

100

Upon consummation of the merger, there will be no family relationships among any of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s directors and executive officers (Edward Levy and Laurence S. Levy are not related).

Leadership Structure of the Board

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s amended and restated bylaws and corporate governance guidelines as of the consummation of the merger will provide the board of directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. At the consummation of the merger, Mr. Powell will serve as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Pratt, the current Chief Executive Officer of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will continue to serve in that role upon the consummation of the merger and will also serve as a director.

The board of directors of Hyde Park and the board of managers for Santa Maria Energy have concluded that Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. However, the board of directors will continue to periodically review its leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of the board of directors is informed oversight of its risk management process. The board of directors will not have a standing risk management committee, but rather will administer this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the board of directors will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s major financial risk exposures and the steps Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s management will take to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The nominating and corporate governance committee will monitor the effectiveness of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s corporate governance practices. The compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors will be regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.

Audit Committee

The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in a charter for the committee to be adopted by the board of directors, include the following:

• serving as an independent and objective party to monitor the financial reporting process, audits of financial statements and internal control system;

• reviewing and appraising the audit efforts of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm and internal finance department;

• reviewing Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s accounting policies;

• reviewing auditor independence;

• providing an open avenue of communications among Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, senior management, internal finance department and board of directors; and

• overseeing compliance with the related party transactions policy which will be adopted by the board of directors.

101

The audit committee will be required to report regularly to the board of directors to discuss any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s financial statements, its compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of its independent registered accounting firm, or the performance of the internal audit function. Upon the listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ, the audit committee will operate under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and NASDAQ.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee will have the authority to review and approve policies relating to compensation and benefits of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s officers and employees. The compensation committee will have the authority to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, evaluate the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives and approve the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The compensation committee will also have the authority to review and approve the issuance of equity-based awards under the Santa Maria Energy Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan. The compensation committee will also review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the compensation committee and its members, including compliance by the compensation committee with its charter. Upon the listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ, the compensation committee will operate under a written charter, which the compensation committee will review and evaluate at least annually.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for making recommendations to the board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of the board of directors. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s corporate governance policies and reporting and making recommendations to the board of directors concerning governance matters. Upon the listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ, the nominating and corporate governance committee will operate under a written charter, which the nominating and corporate governance committee will review and evaluate at least annually.

Other Committees

Pursuant to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws that will be in effect at the consummation of the merger, the board of directors will have the right, from time to time, to establish other committees to facilitate the management of its business and operations.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s executive officers following the consummation of the merger served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors or on the compensation committee of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Upon the listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ, the board of directors will adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s directors, officers and employees, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Following the consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will post a current copy of the code on its website,                     . In addition, Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to post on its website all disclosures that are required by law or

102

the listing standards of NASDAQ concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code. The reference to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through the website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Director Compensation

It is anticipated that non-employee directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will receive a combination of cash and equity-based awards as annual compensation for service on the board of directors and any of its committees. Directors will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties as directors.

Employment Agreements

None of the individuals who will serve as executive officers of Santa Maria Energy Corporation following the merger are currently parties to employment agreements with Santa Maria Energy.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan

Prior to the consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to adopt the 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2014 Incentive Award Plan”), subject to approval by its stockholders prior to the closing. The principal purpose of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of Santa Maria Energy Corporation by linking the individual interests of its directors, employees and consultants to those of its stockholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to stockholders. The material terms of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as it is currently contemplated, are summarized below.

Share Reserve

An aggregate of                  shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock (the “Share Limit”) are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan.

If an award under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash, any shares subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, be used again for new grants under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. However, the following shares may not be used again for grant under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan: (1) shares tendered or withheld to satisfy grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with an award; (2) shares subject to a stock appreciation right, or SAR, that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on its exercise; and (3) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options. To the extent permitted under applicable law, awards that provide for the delivery of shares subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Share Limit if such awards provide for forfeiture or cash settlement to the extent that insufficient shares remain under the Share Limit at the time that shares would otherwise be issued in respect of such award.

Awards granted under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, awards authorized or outstanding under a qualifying equity plan maintained by an entity with which Santa Maria Energy Corporation enters into a merger or similar corporate transaction will not reduce the shares available for grant under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any participant pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan during any calendar year will be                  shares, the maximum amount that may be paid under a cash award pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan to any one participant during any calendar year period will be $        , and the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan during any calendar year will be                  shares. To the

103

extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, shares subject to awards which are canceled will continue to be counted against the foregoing award limits. However, the foregoing limitations shall not apply until the earliest of the following events to occur after the date on which Santa Maria Energy Corporation becomes a publicly traded company: (a) the first material modification of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan (including any increase in the Share Limit); (b) the issuance of all of the shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan; (c) the expiration of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan; (d) the first meeting of stockholders at which members of the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation are to be elected that occurs after the first calendar year following the calendar year in an equity security of Santa Maria Energy Corporation was first registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (e) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code.

Administration.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors will administer the 2014 Incentive Award Plan with respect to awards granted to non-employee directors and Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s compensation committee will administer the 2014 Incentive Award Plan with respect to awards granted to other participants. The board or compensation committee may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of directors and/or officers, subject to certain limitations that may be imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and/or stock exchange rules. The plan administrator must consist of at least two members of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors, each of whom is intended to qualify as an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an “independent director” within the meaning of the rules of the applicable stock exchange on which shares of common stock are traded. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, the plan administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. The administrator is also authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to administration of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan.

Eligibility

Options, SARs, restricted stock and all other stock-based and cash-based awards under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and certain of its affiliates. Awards also may be granted to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s directors. Only employees of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries may be granted incentive stock options.

Awards

The 2014 Incentive Award Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options, or ISOs, and nonqualified stock options, or NSOs), SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or RSUs, deferred stock, dividend equivalents, performance awards and stock payments, or any combination thereof. No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of awards that will be granted to specific individuals pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement and will indicate the type and terms and conditions of the award.

• Stock Options. Stock options provide for the right to purchase shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in the future at a specified price that is established on the date of grant. ISOs, by contrast to NSOs, may provide tax deferral beyond exercise and favorable capital gains tax treatment to their holders if certain holding period and other requirements of the Code are satisfied. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders), except with respect to certain substitute options granted in connection with a corporate transaction. The term of a stock option may not be longer than ten years (or five years in the case of

104

ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders). Vesting conditions determined by the plan administrator may apply to stock options and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions.

• Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is an award of nontransferable shares of common stock that remains forfeitable unless and until specified vesting conditions are met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Holders of restricted stock will have voting rights and, except with respect to performance vesting awards, will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse.

• Restricted Stock Units. RSUs are contractual promises to deliver shares of common stock (or the fair market value of such shares in cash) in the future, which may also remain forfeitable unless and until specified vesting conditions are met. RSUs generally may not be sold or transferred until vesting conditions are removed or expire. The shares underlying RSUs will not be issued until the RSUs have vested, and recipients of RSUs generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the RSUs are settled in shares, unless the RSU includes a dividend equivalent right (in which case the holder may be entitled to dividend equivalent payments under certain circumstances). Delivery of the shares underlying RSUs may be deferred under the terms of the award or at the election of the participant, if the plan administrator permits such a deferral.

• Deferred Stock Awards. Deferred stock awards represent the right to receive shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock on a future date. Deferred stock may not be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred until issued. Deferred stock will not be issued until the deferred stock award has vested, and recipients of deferred stock generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the vesting conditions are satisfied and the shares are issued.

• Stock Appreciation Rights. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock on the date of grant (except with respect to certain substitute SARs granted in connection with a corporate transaction) and the term of a SAR may not be longer than ten years. Vesting conditions determined by the plan administrator may apply to SARs and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions. SARs under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan will be settled in cash or shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock, or in a combination of both, as determined by the administrator.

• Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the value of the dividends, if any, per share paid by Santa Maria Energy Corporation, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by the award. Dividend equivalents generally are credited as of dividend record dates during the period between the date an award is granted and the date such award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the plan administrator, and may be settled in cash or shares as determined by the plan administrator. Dividend equivalents with respect to an award with performance-based vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such award shall only be paid out to the extent that the performance-based vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the award vests.

• Performance Shares. Performance shares are contractual rights to receive shares of common stock in the future based on the attainment of specified performance goals, in addition to other conditions which may apply to these awards.

• Stock Payments. Stock payments are awards of fully-vested shares of common stock that may, but need not, be granted in lieu of all or any part of compensation, including base salary, bonus or fees that would otherwise be payable in cash to the recipient.

Performance Awards

Performance awards include any of the foregoing awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals. The plan administrator will determine whether

105

performance awards are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation,” or QPBC, within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, in which case the applicable performance criteria will be selected from the list below in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) of the Code imposes a $1,000,000 cap on the compensation deduction that a publicly-held corporation may take in respect of compensation paid to its “covered employees” (which generally includes the corporation’s chief executive officer and next three most highly compensated employees other than the chief financial officer), but excludes from the calculation of amounts subject to this limitation any amounts that constitute QPBC. Under a special transition rule for private companies that become publicly held, Santa Maria Energy Corporation does not expect Section 162(m) of the Code to apply to certain awards under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan until the earliest to occur of (1) the annual stockholders’ meeting at which members of its board of directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the first calendar year following the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of its equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; (2) a material modification of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan; (3) the exhaustion of the share supply under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan; or (4) the expiration of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. However, QPBC performance criteria may be used with respect to performance awards that are not intended to constitute QPBC. In addition, the company may issue awards that are not intended to constitute QPBC even if such awards might be non-deductible as a result of Section 162(m) of the Code.

In order to constitute QPBC under Section 162(m) of the Code, in addition to certain other requirements, the relevant amounts must be payable only upon the attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals set by the compensation committee and linked to stockholder-approved performance criteria. For purposes of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, one or more of the following performance criteria will be used in setting performance goals applicable to QPBC, and may be used in setting performance goals applicable to other performance awards: (1) net earnings (either before or after one or more of the following: (a) interest, (b) taxes, (c) depreciation, (d) amortization and (e) non-cash equity-based compensation expense); (2) gross or net sales or revenue; (3) net income (either before or after taxes); (4) adjusted net income; (5) operating income, earnings or profit (either before or after taxes); (6) cash flow (including, but not limited to, cash flow return on investments, operating cash flow and free cash flow); (7) return on assets; (8) return on capital; (9) return on stockholders’ equity; (10) total stockholder return; (11) reserves replacement; (12) gross or net profit or operating margin; (13) costs; (14) funds from operations; (15) expenses; (16) working capital; (17) earnings per share; (18) adjusted earnings per share; (19) price per share of platform common stock; (20) regulatory body approval for development plans; (21) implementation or completion of critical projects; (22) market share; (23) economic value; (24) debt levels or reduction; (25) capital expenditures; (26) production targets; (27) comparisons with other stock market indices; (28) operating efficiency; (29) safety record; (30) employee satisfaction; (31) research and development achievements; (32) financing and other capital raising transactions; (33) recruiting and maintaining personnel; and (34) year-end cash, any of which may be measured either in absolute terms for Santa Maria Energy Corporation or any of its operating units or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators or indices.

The 2014 Incentive Award Plan also permits the plan administrator to provide for objectively determinable adjustments to the applicable performance criteria in setting performance goals for QPBC awards. Such adjustments may include one or more of the following: (1) items related to a change in accounting principle; (2) items relating to financing activities; (3) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; (4) other non-operating items; (5) items related to acquisitions; (6) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by Santa Maria Energy Corporation during the applicable performance period; (7) items related to the sale or disposition of a business or segment of a business; (8) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under applicable accounting standards; (9) items attributable to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of stock occurring during the applicable performance period; (10) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (11) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, (12) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets; (13) items that are outside the scope of the company’s core, on-

106

going business activities; (14) items related to acquired in-process research and development; (15) items relating to changes in tax laws; (16) items relating to major licensing or partnership arrangements; (17) items relating to asset impairment charges; (18) items relating to gains or losses for litigation, arbitration and contractual settlements; or (19) items relating to any other unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws, accounting principles or business conditions.

Certain Transactions

The plan administrator has broad discretion to take action under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as well as make adjustments to the terms and conditions of existing and future awards, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits and facilitate necessary or desirable changes in the event of certain transactions and events affecting Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock, such as stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and other corporate transactions. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders known as “equity restructurings,” the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan and outstanding awards. In the event of a change in control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (as defined in the 2014 Incentive Award Plan), to the extent that the surviving entity declines to assume or substitute for outstanding awards or it is otherwise determined that awards will not be assumed or substituted, the plan administrator may cause the awards to become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the transaction. If an award vests and, as applicable, is exercised in lieu of assumption or substitution in connection with a change in control, the award will terminate upon the change in control.

Foreign Participants, Claw-Back Provisions, Transferability and Participant Payments

The plan administrator may modify award terms, establish subplans and/or adjust other terms and conditions of awards, subject to the share limits described above, in order to facilitate grants of awards subject to the laws and/or stock exchange rules of countries outside of the United States. All awards will be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by Santa Maria Energy Corporation to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable award agreement. With limited exceptions for estate planning, domestic relations orders, certain beneficiary designations and the laws of descent and distribution, awards under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan are generally non-transferable prior to vesting unless otherwise determined by the plan administrator, and are exercisable only by the participant. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash or check, shares of common stock that meet specified conditions, a market sell order or such other consideration as it deems suitable.

Amendment and Termination

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors may terminate, amend or modify the 2014 Incentive Award Plan at any time. However, Santa Maria Energy Corporation must generally obtain stockholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan (other than in connection with certain corporate events, as described above), to reprice options or SARs, or to cancel any stock option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares. In addition, no amendment, suspension or termination of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan may, without the consent of the holder, materially and adversely affect any rights or obligations under any award previously granted, unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No award may be granted pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Award Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Interests of Hyde Park Directors, Officers and Others in the Merger

When you consider the recommendation of Hyde Park’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal, you should keep in mind that Hyde Park sponsors, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

• If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by May 1, 2014, Hyde Park will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding IPO shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,875,000 shares held by Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Hyde Park’s sponsors are not entitled to participate in any redemption distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $19,668,750 based upon the closing price of $10.49 per share on NASDAQ on February 14, 2014.

• Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, also purchased 693,750 shares of common stock from Hyde Park for an aggregate purchase price of $6,937,500 (or $10.00 per share). These purchases took place in a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Hyde Park received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by May 1, 2014, these shares would be worthless because Hyde Park’s sponsors are not entitled to participate in any redemption distribution with respect to such shares. These privately placed shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $7,277,438 based on the closing price of $10.49 per share on NASDAQ on February 14, 2014.

• If Hyde Park is unable to complete the merger or another business combination by May 1, 2014, Hyde Park’s officers will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Hyde Park for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Hyde Park, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.

• Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Hyde Park’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. These individuals have negotiated the repayment of any such expenses upon consummation of the merger. However, if Hyde Park fails to consummate the merger or another business combination by May 1, 2014, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. As of December 31, 2013, Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates had not incurred any reimbursable expenses.

• If the merger is consummated, Laurence S. Levy will continue to serve, and Edward Levy will be appointed to serve, on the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and will be entitled to compensation payable to non-employee directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. It is anticipated that non-employee directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will receive a combination of cash and equity-based awards as annual compensation for service on the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and any of its committees. Directors will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties as directors.

At any time prior to the Hyde Park special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Hyde Park or its securities, Hyde Park’s sponsors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of

108

Hyde Park common stock or to not demand conversion rights. The funds for any such purchases will either come from cash available to such purchasing parties or from third-party financing, none of which has been sought at this time. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares owned by the Hyde Park initial stockholders for nominal value. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting vote to approve the merger proposal and that Hyde Park satisfies the requirement under the Merger Agreement that it shall have at least $40 million in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Hyde Park common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares such stockholder owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting. If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal to be presented at the special meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it more likely that Hyde Park will maintain at least $40 million in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Hyde Park will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or additional significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

None of Hyde Park’s executive officers is party to an agreement with Hyde Park, or participates in any Hyde Park plan, program or arrangement, that provides for payments or benefits based on or that otherwise relate to the consummation of the merger.

Interests of Santa Maria Energy Managers, Officers and Others in the Merger

When you consider the recommendation of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers in favor of approval of the merger proposal and the other proposals, you should keep in mind that Santa Maria Energy’s managers and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a unitholder. These interests include, among other things:

• Three of Santa Maria Energy’s officers, including the president who is also a manager, hold phantom equity units (“Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units”) granted under the Amended and Restated Santa Maria Pacific Holdings, LLC 2008 Phantom Equity Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan”). Under the Merger Agreement, at the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (as defined below), each award of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units that is outstanding immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time will vest in full and will be terminated and canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units subject to such award immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, and (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan and which will include an adjustment for the repayment of $50,000,000 of capital invested in Santa Maria Energy) of a Membership Unit (as defined in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan) as of immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (the “Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration”), less any applicable

109

withholding taxes. For purposes of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Unit Plan, one Membership Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers. See “Santa Maria Energy Proposals—The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.”

• Subject to his continued employment with Santa Maria Energy or a subsidiary thereof until at least immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, Santa Maria Energy will pay to Kevin McMillan, Santa Maria Energy’s VP—Finance and Administration and the principal financial officer of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, a transaction bonus in cash equal to the amount Mr. McMillan would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, less applicable withholding taxes. Additionally, Mr. McMillan currently holds 1,000,000 profits interest units in Santa Maria Energy, which will be terminated in connection with the merger (without payment therefor) pursuant to the Merger Agreement and a profits interest units cancellation agreement entered into by Santa Maria Energy and Mr. McMillan.

• Subject to their continued employment until at least immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, the compensation committee of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has approved discretionary payments to certain employees, including most of its officers, in connection with the consummation of the merger in order to compensate the employees for salary reductions that took effect in August 2012 or October 2012, as applicable. See “Santa Maria Energy Proposals—The Santa Maria Energy Merger-Related Compensation Proposal.”

• Santa Maria Energy has a nine-person board of managers. Each of the managers, two of whom are officers, beneficially owns common units in Santa Maria Energy through their respective affiliates. All of these units will be exchanged for shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in the merger. These managers and officers will also be subject to an agreed-upon lock-up period after which they will have freely tradable shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

• The Kayne Investors, who have designated two representatives on the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy, also own preferred units in Santa Maria Energy that give them certain control and preferential payment rights. As a result of the merger, the Kayne Investors will receive preferred stock in Santa Maria Energy Corporation in exchange for their Santa Maria Energy preferred units. The preferred stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation held by the Kayne Investors will contain certain control and preferential payment rights. In addition, the accrued dividends on the Kayne Investors’ preferred units and $1.5 million of guaranty fees associated with the Kayne Guaranty will convert into common units immediately preceding the consummation of the merger. The Kayne Investors will be subject to an agreed-upon lock-up period after which they will have freely tradable shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

• Each of the officers of Santa Maria Energy, including David Pratt and Ramon Elias who are also Santa Maria Energy managers, participate in Santa Maria Energy’s Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). The ICP provides for the annual payment of cash bonuses to the extent Santa Maria Energy meets established performance criteria. It is likely that as a result of the merger, the performance criteria for 2013 will be met and cash payments will be made to Santa Maria Energy officers according to the terms of the ICP. The ICP payments payable to all officers could range from approximately $0 to $580,000.

• If the merger is consummated, Messrs. Yates, Iverson and Powell will be appointed to serve on the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and will be entitled to compensation payable to non-employee directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. It is anticipated that non-employee directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will receive a combination of cash and equity-based awards as annual compensation for service on the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and any of its committees. Directors will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties as directors.

Appraisal or Dissenters Rights

So long as shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock become approved for listing on the NASDAQ, no appraisal or dissenters rights will be available under the DGCL to the stockholders of Hyde Park in connection with the merger proposal. No appraisal or dissenters rights are available under the DLLCA or the limited liability company agreement of Santa Maria Energy for the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy in connection with the merger proposal.

If the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock is not approved for listing on the NASDAQ, holders of Hyde Park common stock who do not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and who otherwise comply with the applicable statutory procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL will have the right to have the fair value of their shares of Hyde Park common stock at the effective time of the merger (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger) determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) and to receive payment based upon that valuation, together with a fair rate of interest, in lieu of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration.

The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL required to be followed by a Hyde Park stockholder in order to perfect appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of law pertaining to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL, which is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The perfection and exercise of appraisal right requires strict and timely adherence to the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Failure to follow the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL for perfecting appraisal rights may result in the loss of such rights. All references in this summary to a “stockholder” are to the record holder of Hyde Park common stock on the record date for the Hyde Park special meeting unless otherwise indicated.

If a stockholder wishes to consider exercising his or her appraisal rights, they should carefully review the text of Section 262 of the DGCL contained in Annex D hereto carefully and should consult a legal advisor since failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL may result in the loss of appraisal rights under the DGCL. All demands for appraisal must be received prior to the vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement at the Hyde Park special meeting and should be addressed to Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II, 500 Fifth Avenue, 50^th floor, New York, New York 10110, Attention: Laurence S. Levy, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares of Hyde park common stock. Holders of Hyde Park common stock who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and must continuously hold their shares of Hyde Park common stock through the effective date of the merger.

Under Section 262 of the DGCL, where a merger agreement relating to a proposed merger is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, as in the case of the Hyde Park special meeting, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to such meeting, must notify each of its stockholders who was a stockholder on the record date for notice of such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available, that appraisal rights are so available, and must include in each such notice a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL. This joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes the notice required by Section 262 of the DGCL to the holders of Hyde Park common stock and a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

If a stockholder wishes to exercise appraisal rights, it must not vote for the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and must deliver to Hyde Park, before the vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, a written demand for appraisal of his or her shares of Hyde Park common stock. If a proxy card is signed and returned that does not contain voting instructions or a proxy is submitted by telephone or through the Internet that does not contain voting instructions, the stockholder will effectively waive his or her appraisal rights because such shares represented by the proxy will, unless the proxy is revoked, be voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal

111

rights must either vote against the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement or abstain from voting on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. However, neither voting against the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, nor abstaining from voting or failing to vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, will in and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL.

A demand for appraisal will be sufficient if it reasonably informs Hyde Park of the identity of the stockholder and that such stockholder intends thereby to demand appraisal of such stockholder’s shares of common stock in connection with the Merger Agreement. This written demand for appraisal must be separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. If a stockholder wishes to exercise appraisal rights, it must be the record holder of such shares of Hyde Park common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold such shares of record through the effective date of the merger. Accordingly, a stockholder who is the record holder of shares of common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made, but who thereafter transfers such shares prior to the effective date of the merger, will lose any right to appraisal in respect of such shares.

Only a holder of record of shares of Hyde Park common stock on the date a demand for appraisal is made is entitled to assert appraisal rights for such shares of common stock registered in that holder’s name. To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a stockholder must be made by, or on behalf of, a stockholder of record on such date. The demand should set forth, fully and correctly, the stockholder’s name as it appears, with respect to shares evidenced by certificates, on his or her stock certificate, or, with respect to book-entry shares, on the stock ledger. Beneficial owners who do not also hold their Hyde Park shares of record may not directly make appraisal demands to Hyde Park. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the owner of record, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, submit the required demand in respect of those shares of Hyde Park common stock. If shares of Hyde Park common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares of Hyde Park common stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares of Hyde Park common stock as a nominee for others, may exercise his or her right of appraisal with respect to the shares of Hyde Park common stock held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Hyde Park common stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares of Hyde Park common stock is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Hyde Park common stock held in the name of the record owner.

If a stockholder holds its shares of Hyde Park common stock in a brokerage account or in other nominee form and wishes to exercise appraisal rights, it should consult with his broker or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the nominee.

If a stockholder who demands appraisal under Delaware law withdraws its demand for appraisal or fails to perfect or otherwise loses its right of appraisal, in any case pursuant to the DGCL, each share of Hyde Park common stock held by such stockholder will be deemed to have been converted, as of the effective time of the merger, into the right to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration. A stockholder may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and agree to accept the Hyde Park Merger Consideration by delivering to Hyde Park a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and acceptance of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration within 60 days after the effective date of the merger (or thereafter with the consent of the surviving entity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court of Chancery deems just; provided, however, that any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal action or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and agree to accept the Hyde Park Merger Consideration offered within 60 days after the effective date.

112

Within 10 days after the effective date, the surviving entity will notify each stockholder who properly asserted appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and has not voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement of the effective date of the merger. Within 120 days after the effective date, but not thereafter, either the surviving entity, or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Hyde Park common stock held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Hyde Park common stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file the petition described in the previous sentence. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition must be made upon the surviving entity. The surviving entity of the merger does not have an obligation to file such a petition in the event there are dissenting stockholders. Accordingly, the failure of a stockholder to file such a petition within the period specified could nullify the stockholder’s previous written demand for appraisal. Santa Maria Energy Corporation has no present intent to cause an appraisal petition to be filed, and stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that Santa Maria Energy Corporation will file such a petition or that it will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of such shares of Hyde Park common stock. Accordingly, stockholders who desire to have their shares of Hyde Park common stock appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL.

The costs of the appraisal action may be determined by the Court of Chancery and made payable by the parties as the Court of Chancery deems equitable. The Court of Chancery also may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with an appraisal, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts utilized in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of all of the shares entitled to appraisal.

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving entity of the merger, such surviving entity will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Hyde Park common stock and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares of Hyde Park common stock have not been reached by the surviving entity. After notice to dissenting stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares of Hyde Park common stock, the Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Court of Chancery may require the stockholders who have demanded appraisal for their shares of Hyde Park common stock to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.

Within 120 days after the effective date, any stockholder (including any beneficial owner of shares entitled to appraisal rights) that has complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the surviving entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Hyde Park common stock not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been timely received and the aggregate number of holders of those shares. These statements must be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after a written request by such stockholder for the information has been received by the surviving entity, or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, whichever is later.

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of Hyde Park common stock, the Court of Chancery will appraise the shares of Hyde Park common stock, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any. Unless the Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5%

113

over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. When the value is determined, the Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of the proceeding, if the Court of Chancery so determines, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by such stockholders of their certificated and book-entry shares.

In determining the fair value of the shares of Hyde Park common stock, the Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. Accordingly, such determination could be based upon considerations other than, or in addition to, the market value of the shares of Hyde Park common stock, including, among other things, asset values and earning capacity. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated, among other things, that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered in an appraisal proceeding. The surviving entity of the merger may argue in an appraisal proceeding that, for purposes of such a proceeding, the fair value of the shares of Hyde Park common stock is less than the merger consideration. Therefore, the value so determined in any appraisal proceeding could be the same as, or more or less than, the merger consideration.

Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who may wish to pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.

Any stockholder who has duly demanded and perfected an appraisal in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL will not, after the effective date of the merger, be entitled to vote his or her shares for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions thereon, except dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record of shares of Hyde Park common stock as of a date prior to the effective date of the merger.

If any stockholder desires to exercise its appraisal rights, it must not vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and must strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL. Failure to take any required step in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights will result in the termination or waiver of such rights.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The merger will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since immediately following the consummation of the merger, the unitholders of Santa Maria Energy immediately prior to the merger will have control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation through their approximate 61.2% stockholder interest in the post-merger company, assuming no share conversion and no Private Equity Financing (71.3% in the event of maximum share conversion). In addition, Santa Maria Energy unitholders will maintain control of the post-merger company through control of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation board of directors by maintaining four of the seven board seats for an expected term ranging from one to three years. Additionally, all of Santa Maria Energy’s senior executives will serve as officers of Santa Maria Energy Corporation after the consummation of the merger. For accounting purposes, Santa Maria Energy will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the merger and, consequently, the merger will be treated as a recapitalization of Santa Maria Energy. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become the historical financial statements of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and Hyde Park’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become consolidated with Santa Maria Energy effective as of the closing date of the merger. No step-up in basis or intangible assets will be recorded in this transaction. All direct costs of the merger will be charged to operations in the period that such costs are incurred.

114

Public Trading Markets

Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy have agreed to use their reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be issued in connection with the merger and to be listed on the NASDAQ. Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to apply to lists its common stock, effective following the merger, on the NASDAQ under the symbol “SMEC.”

Hyde Park common stock is listed and trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “HPAC.” If the merger is consummated, Hyde Park will seek to delist its common stock from NASDAQ and cease to be publicly traded.

Regulatory Matters

The merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any federal, state or provincial regulatory requirement or approval.

115

MERGER AGREEMENT

The following describes certain aspects of the transactions, including material provisions of the Merger Agreement. The following description of the Merger Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the composite Merger Agreement, which incorporates the amendment to the Merger Agreement into the text of the initial Merger Agreement, and which is attached to this document as Annex A and is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing the merger.

The Merger

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA, Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy will combine under a newly formed holding company, Santa Maria Energy Corporation, in a series of transactions:

• first, HPAC Merger Sub will be merged with and into Hyde Park, with Hyde Park surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (which is referred to herein as the “Hyde Park Merger”);

• second, substantially concurrently with the Hyde Park Merger, SME Merger Sub will be merged with and into Santa Maria Energy, with Santa Maria Energy surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (which is referred to herein as the “Santa Maria Energy Merger”); and

• third, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will contribute all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in Santa Maria Energy to the capital of Hyde Park, following which Santa Maria Energy will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park (which is referred to herein as the “SME Contribution”).

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park, the closing of the merger will take place on a date to be specified by the parties to the Merger Agreement, which may be no later than the third business day following the day on which the last of the conditions to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (described under “—Conditions to Complete the Merger”) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing of the merger, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions).

Assuming timely satisfaction of the necessary closing conditions, the closing of the merger is expected to occur prior to May 1, 2014. The Hyde Park Merger will become effective upon Hyde Park filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Hyde Park Effective Time”) and, substantially concurrently therewith, the Santa Maria Energy Merger will become effective upon Santa Maria Energy filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Santa Maria Energy Effective Time” and, together with the Hyde Park Effective Time, the “effective time”) (or, with respect to each of the Hyde Park Merger and the Santa Maria Energy Merger, at such later time as Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy may agree and specify in the respective certificate of merger). Immediately following the effective time of the merger, the SME Contribution will be completed.

Effect of Hyde Park Merger on Capital Stock of Hyde Park, HPAC Merger Sub and Santa Maria Energy Corporation

In connection with the Hyde Park Merger, at the Hyde Park Effective Time:

• each share of Hyde Park common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time (other than shares of Hyde Park stockholders who voted against the merger and who

116

properly exercised their appraisal rights (to the extent appraisal rights are available) for such shares (the “HP Dissenting Shares”) and the HP Conversion Shares described below) will be converted into one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock;

• all shares of Hyde Park common stock that are held by Hyde Park as treasury stock or that are owned by Hyde Park, HPAC Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyde Park immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time will cease to be outstanding and will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor;

• each share of HPAC Merger Sub common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time will be converted into one share of Hyde Park common stock; and

• each share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock that is held by Hyde Park immediately prior to the effective time will cease to be outstanding and will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

Effect of Hyde Park Merger on HP Conversion Shares

Hyde Park common stock that is subject to a valid demand for conversion in accordance with Hyde Park’s certificate of incorporation and this joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “HP Conversion Shares”) will not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock, and such HP Conversion Shares will represent the right to receive payment of their pro rata portion of Hyde Park’s trust account (described below) in accordance with Hyde Park’s certificate of incorporation from and after the effective time.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Hyde Park will maintain no less than $78,750,000 (less payments to stockholders of Hyde Park who have validly exercised their right to receive payment of HP Conversion Shares pursuant to the paragraph above) invested in its trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Upon consummation of the merger, the funds held in Hyde Park’s trust account will be released to Hyde Park and will be used to pay the holders of the IPO shares who exercise conversion rights and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the merger, and will otherwise be available for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s general corporate purposes. The amount of any aggregate deferred commissions paid to the underwriters of Hyde Park’s initial public offering will be reduced by the amount of any deferred commission earned on shares which are converted in connection with the merger.

Effect of Santa Maria Merger on Santa Maria Energy Units and Membership Interests in SME Merger Sub

In connection with the Santa Maria Energy Merger, at the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time:

• each Santa Maria Energy preferred unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time will be converted into one share of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock. In addition, immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (i) all accrued and unpaid distributions on outstanding Santa Maria Energy preferred units shall be converted into a maximum of 5,599,212 Santa Maria Energy common units to be held by the Kayne Investors on a pro rata basis and (ii) the fee owed by Santa Maria Energy to the Kayne Investors as consideration for the Kayne Guaranty shall be converted into 500,000 Santa Maria Energy common units to be held by the Kayne Investors on a pro rata basis;

• each Santa Maria Energy common unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (including all Santa Maria Energy common units awarded to the Kayne Investors pursuant to the immediately preceding bullet point) will be converted into a number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock equal to 0.2857 (the “Exchange Ratio”);

• all Santa Maria Energy units that are owned by Santa Maria Energy, SME Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time will automatically be canceled, and no Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock or other consideration will be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor;

117

• each Santa Maria Energy profits interest unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time will automatically terminate and be canceled, and no Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock or other consideration will be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor;

• each common limited liability company interest of SME Merger Sub will be converted into one common limited liability company interest of Santa Maria Energy; and

• all shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock that are held by Santa Maria Energy immediately prior to the effective time will cease to be outstanding and will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

Effect of Santa Maria Merger on Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan

At the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, each award of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units granted under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time will vest in full and will be terminated and canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units subject to such award immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, and (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Membership Unit (each as defined in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan and which will include an adjustment for the repayment of $50,000,000 of capital invested in Santa Maria Energy) as of immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (the “Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration”). For purposes of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Unit Plan, one Membership Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers. Santa Maria Energy will pay the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes, to each former holder of a canceled Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit at or promptly following the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time (but in no event more than ten (10) business days following the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time). The payment of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration will be in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the canceled Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units, and on and after the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, each holder of a Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit will have no further rights with respect to any Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit, other than the right to receive the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Consideration.

Not later than immediately prior to the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, Santa Maria Energy will terminate the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan.

Procedures for Converting Shares of Hyde Park into Hyde Park Merger Consideration and Santa Maria Energy Units into Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration

Exchange Agent

Prior to the effective time, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will deposit with a nationally recognized financial institution or trust company to act as exchange agent (the “exchange agent”) (i) the aggregate number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock necessary to satisfy the aggregate Hyde Park Merger Consideration payable in the Hyde Park Merger and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and preferred stock to satisfy the aggregate Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration payable in the Santa Maria Energy Merger. Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause the exchange agent to deliver the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock or preferred stock, as applicable, contemplated to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement out of the exchange fund.

Letter of Transmittal and Instructions

As soon as reasonably practicable following the effective time of the Hyde Park Merger, the exchange agent will send transmittal materials, which will include the appropriate form of letter of transmittal, to holders of record of shares of Hyde Park common stock (other than holders of HP Dissenting Shares and HP Conversion Shares). Such transmittal materials will be accompanied by instructions on how to effect the surrender of

118

certificates representing Hyde Park common stock in exchange for Hyde Park Merger Consideration. Any holder of shares of Hyde Park common stock in book-entry form will not be required to deliver a certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

After the effective time of the Hyde Park Merger, when a holder of shares of Hyde Park common stock in certificated form surrenders its Hyde Park certificate and delivers a properly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents as may reasonably be required by the exchange agent, such holder will be entitled to receive, and the exchange agent will be required to deliver to such holder, the number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock that such holder is entitled to receive as a result of the Hyde Park Merger. Any holder of shares of Hyde Park common stock in book-entry form will not be required to deliver a Hyde Park certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Hyde Park book-entry shares whose shares of Hyde Park common stock were converted into the right to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration will automatically upon the Hyde Park Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause the exchange agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Hyde Park Effective Time, in respect of each share of Hyde Park common stock the number of whole shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock.

After the effective time of the Santa Maria Energy Merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause the exchange agent to deliver, as promptly as practicable after the Santa Maria Energy Effective Time, in respect of each Santa Maria Energy unit, the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock or Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock, as applicable, representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Santa Maria Energy Merger.

No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon cancellation of shares of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy units. The shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and preferred stock, as applicable, issued and paid in accordance with the Merger Agreement upon conversion of the shares of Hyde Park common stock and Santa Maria Energy units will be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Hyde Park common stock and Santa Maria Energy units. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy units that is not registered in the transfer records of Hyde Park or Santa Maria Energy, respectively, the proper number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and preferred stock, as applicable, may be transferred by the exchange agent to such transferee if (i) regarding Hyde Park certificates, the certificate is properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form of transfer, or (ii) regarding book-entry interests representing the shares of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy units, written instructions authorizing the transfer of such book-entry interests are presented to the exchange agent, in any case, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

If any portion of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration or Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration is to be delivered to a person or entity other than the holder in whose name any book-entry interests are registered, it will be a condition of such exchange that the person or entity requesting the delivery pays any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the transfer of the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock or preferred stock, as applicable, to a person or entity other than the registered holder of any book-entry interest representing shares of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy units, or will establish to the satisfaction of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or the exchange agent that the tax has been paid or is not applicable. The shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock or preferred stock constituting the Hyde Park Merger Consideration and Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration will be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act.

119

Withholding

Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Hyde Park common stock or any holder of Santa Maria Energy units pursuant to the Merger Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement to any such holder, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

No Fractional Shares

No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock will be issued in the merger, but in lieu thereof, the number of shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to be delivered to each holder of Santa Maria Energy common units will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Certain Adjustments

If, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing date, the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units or Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock changes into a different number of shares or units or a different class by reason of any dividend, distribution, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, redemption, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Santa Maria Energy Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Termination of Exchange Fund

Any portion of the merger consideration deposited with the exchange agent that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park common stock for 180 days after the Hyde Park Effective Time will be delivered to Santa Maria Energy Corporation, upon demand, and any holder of Hyde Park common stock who has not complied with the exchange procedures described above and set forth in the Merger Agreement will be required to seek any Hyde Park Merger Consideration to which such stockholder is entitled from Santa Maria Energy Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for satisfaction of its claim for the Hyde Park Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive with respect to such Hyde Park Merger Consideration. However, any portion of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park stock certificates as of the second anniversary of the effective time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Hyde Park Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental authority) will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Hyde Park, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person.

Private Equity Financing

Prior to the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy Corporation commenced a private placement of securities (the “Private Equity Financing”) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing, when combined with the cash held in Hyde Park’s trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders will not exceed $150 million. To the extent that the Private Equity Financing is other than a sale of Santa Maria Energy

120

Corporation common stock at $10.50 or more per share, such Private Equity Financing will require the prior consent of Hyde Park. The Private Equity Financing is contingent upon the consummation of the merger, but the merger is not contingent upon completion of the Private Equity Financing. Information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy shares in the Private Equity Financing. The shares sold in the Private Equity Financing will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Santa Maria Energy Corporation, the Kayne Investors and Hyde Park’s sponsors will enter into a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement. The following summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of a form of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, any time after the closing date of the merger, Hyde Park’s sponsors or the Kayne Investors holding registrable securities representing more than 5% or more of the outstanding securities of Santa Maria Energy Corporation may make a written demand for registration of the resale (in an underwritten offering or otherwise, as determined by such holders) of all or part of such securities on such form of registration statement as the offering shall be eligible and as such holders may demand. In addition, these security holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their registrable securities in other registration statements filed by Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Separate and apart from such demand registration rights, if Santa Maria Energy Corporation is eligible to file a short-form registration statement on Form S-3, holders may demand that Santa Maria Energy Corporation file a Form S-3 to register the resale of such registrable securities, provided that such holders propose to register at least $10 million of registrable securities pursuant to such Form S-3. If the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock held by the Kayne Investors is not redeemed timely pursuant to the terms thereof, then at any time and from time to time after such preferred stock has been converted into shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock, the Kayne Investors may make up to three demands for registration of all or part of such converted shares of common stock (and any other shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock owned by the Kayne Investors). Santa Maria Energy Corporation will bear the costs of filing any registration statements.

Pursuant to the Santa Maria Energy Corporation certificate of incorporation, the holders of 693,570 shares of Hyde Park common stock issued to the Hyde Park sponsors shall be prohibited from selling or disposing of any Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received in the merger for those shares of Hyde Park common stock for thirty days following the merger. In addition, the holders of 1,875,000 shares of Hyde Park common stock purchased by the Hyde Park sponsors prior to the Hyde Park initial public offering and the Santa Maria Energy common or preferred unitholders (including the Kayne Investors) shall be prohibited from selling or disposing of any Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received in the merger for one year following the merger (we collectively refer to the thirty-day period and the one-year period as the “lock-up periods”). However, if Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s share price reaches or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the lock-up periods, 50% of the shares of each of the holders subject to the lock-up will be released from the transfer restrictions, and if Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s share price reaches or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during these lock-up periods, the remaining 50% of the shares of each holder will be released from the transfer restrictions. While the lock-up periods are in effect, the Kayne Investors and the Hyde Park sponsors will not be able to exercise their rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains customary and, in many cases, reciprocal representations and warranties by Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement, in the disclosure letters delivered by Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park to

121

each other in connection with the Merger Agreement or, with respect to the representations and warranties by Hyde Park, in any form, document or report filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of the Merger Agreement.

• maintenance of funds in Hyde Park’s trust account.

The representations and warranties described above and included in the Merger Agreement were made by Santa Maria Energy, on one hand, and Hyde Park, on the other hand, to each other. These representations and warranties were made as of specific dates, may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, and may have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between Santa Maria Energy, on one hand, and Hyde Park, on the other hand, rather than to establish matters as facts.

Many of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by a “material adverse effect” standard (that is, they will not be deemed untrue or incorrect unless their failure to be true or correct, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect). See “—Definition of Material Adverse Effect.” Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by a general materiality standard or by a knowledge standard.

The composite Merger Agreement, which incorporates the amendment to the Merger Agreement into the text of the initial Merger Agreement, is included as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is included only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions, and not to provide any other factual information regarding Santa Maria Energy, Hyde Park or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read only in conjunction with the information provided elsewhere in this document and in the documents incorporated by reference into this document. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Definition of Material Adverse Effect

A “material adverse effect” on Santa Maria Energy or Hyde Park, as applicable, means for purposes of the Merger Agreement an event, state of facts, circumstance, change, effect, development, occurrence or combination of the foregoing that has had, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on (A) the ability of Santa Maria Energy or Hyde Park, as applicable, to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in a timely manner or (B) the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Santa Maria Energy and its subsidiaries, taken as a

123

whole, or Hyde Park, taken as a whole, as applicable, other than any event, change, effect, development or occurrence resulting from or arising out of:

(1) changes in general economic, financial or other capital market conditions (including prevailing interest rates);

(2) any changes or developments generally in the industries in which Santa Maria Energy or Hyde Park, as applicable, conducts its business;

(3) the announcement or the existence of, compliance with or performance under, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (including the impact thereof on the relationships, contractual or otherwise, with employees, labor unions, customers, suppliers or partners, and including any lawsuit, action, order, permit or other proceeding with respect to the merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement);

(4) any taking of any action at the request of the other party to the agreement;

(5) with respect to a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy, any changes or developments in prices for oil, natural gas or other commodities or for Santa Maria Energy’s raw material inputs and end products;

(6) any adoption, implementation, promulgation, repeal or modification following the date of the Merger Agreement of any rule, regulation, ordinance, order, permit, protocol or any other law of or by any national, regional, state or local governmental entity, or market administrator;

(8) earthquakes, any weather-related event, natural disasters or outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of war or terrorism;

(9) any failure by Santa Maria Energy or Santa Maria Energy Corporation to meet any financial projections or forecasts or estimates of revenues, earnings or other financial metrics for any period (although the event, change, effect, development or occurrence underlying such failure may count as a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy if it does not otherwise meet an exception); or

(10) any changes in the share price or trading volume of the shares of Hyde Park common stock (although the event, change, effect, development or occurrence underlying such change may count as a material adverse effect on Hyde Park if it does not otherwise meet an exception).

Exceptions laid out in (1), (2), (5) (with respect to Santa Maria Energy), (7) and (8) may be considered to the extent disproportionately affecting Santa Maria Energy and its subsidiaries or Hyde Park, as applicable, in each case taken as a whole, relative to other similarly situated companies in their respective industries.

Prior to the effective time, each of Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its subsidiaries’ respective operations.

No Solicitation

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, except for with respect to the Private Equity Financing, Santa Maria Energy has agreed that it and its subsidiaries will not, and will cause their respective affiliates, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or enter into discussions or transactions with, or encourage, or provide any information to, any person (other than Hyde Park) concerning any merger, consolidation, dissolution, business combination, involving Santa Maria Energy or any of its subsidiaries, the sale of any assets of Santa Maria Energy or any of its subsidiaries (other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business), or the issuance and sale of any securities of, or units in, Santa Maria Energy or any of its subsidiaries, including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity securities of Santa Maria Energy or any of its subsidiaries.

Regulatory Approvals; Reasonable Best Efforts

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or

advisable under any applicable laws to consummate and make effective the merger including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the merger, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummating the merger, (iii) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any governmental entity required to be obtained or made by the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries in connection with the merger or the taking of any action contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the merger and to fully carry out the purposes of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, each of the parties has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill all conditions precedent to the merger and not take any action after the date of the Merger Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any such governmental entity necessary to be obtained prior to closing. To the extent that transfers of any permits issued by any governmental entity are required as a result of the execution of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the merger, the parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to effect such transfers.

In addition, Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy have each agreed to keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the consummation of the merger and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, orders or approvals of, or any exemptions by, any governmental entity undertaken pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement. Each party has also agreed to consult with the other parties to the Merger Agreement with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other parties (or their counsel) copies of), all filings made by such party with any governmental entity or any other information supplied by such party to, or correspondence with, a governmental entity in connection with the Merger Agreement and the merger.

Takeover Statutes

Each of Santa Maria Energy and Hyde Park have agreed to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by the Merger Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any anti-takeover laws or regulations that may become, or purport to become, applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides that Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause (including, without limitation, by paying premiums on the current insurance policies) to be maintained in effect for six years after the closing date of the merger the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability or equivalent insurance maintained by or on behalf of Hyde Park, Santa Maria Energy and its subsidiaries with respect to matters occurring prior to the closing. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will indemnify each individual who served as a director, officer, manager or managing member of Santa Maria

129

Energy and its subsidiaries at any time prior to the closing date from and against all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, claims and similar matters including all court costs and reasonable attorney fees and expenses resulting from or arising out of, or caused by, the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

No Claim Against the Trust Account

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Santa Maria Energy acknowledged that Hyde Park’s trust account has been established for the benefit of Hyde Park’s public stockholders. Santa Maria Energy further acknowledged that, in the event the merger is not consummated and Hyde Park does not complete another business combination before May 1, 2014, Hyde Park will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in its trust account. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) waived any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the trust account, any trustee of the trust account and Hyde Park to collect from the trust account any monies that may be owed to them by Hyde Park or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and agreed that Santa Maria Energy will not seek recourse against the trust account at any time for any reason whatsoever.

• Hyde Park, if Santa Maria Energy breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (1) if it occurred or was continuing to occur on the closing date, would result in a failure of a condition to Hyde Park’s obligation to close and (2) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the End Date or, if such breach or failure is capable of being cured by the End Date, Santa Maria Energy does not diligently attempt or ceases to diligently attempt to cure such breach or failure;

In the event of the Merger Agreement is terminated, there shall be no other liability on the part of Hyde Park or Santa Maria Energy to the other except as to liability arising out of or the result of, fraud or any willful or intentional breach of any covenant or agreement or willful or intentional breach of any representation or warranty in the Merger Agreement occurring prior to termination in which case, subject to rights of Hyde Park public stockholders to Hyde Park’s trust account, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA, as used and defined by Santa Maria Energy, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company’s capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, and working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted

135

EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes, exploration expenses, and other commitments and obligations. However, Santa Maria Energy’s management team believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating Santa Maria Energy’s financial performance because this measure:

• is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;

• helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of Santa Maria Energy’s operations from period to period by removing the effect of Santa Maria Energy’s capital structure from its operating results; and

• is used by Santa Maria Energy’s management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to its board of managers, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting and by Santa Maria Energy’s lenders pursuant to covenants under its senior credit facility.

There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect Santa Maria Energy’s net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. The following table represents a reconciliation of Santa Maria Energy’s net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT SANTA MARIA ENERGY

General

Santa Maria Energy is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas in the Monterey formation and the Diatomite reservoir within the Sisquoc formation in northern Santa Barbara County, California. Santa Maria Energy has chosen to focus its exploration and development efforts on the Monterey and the Diatomite due to the largely unrealized hydrocarbon potential offered within these areas. Santa Maria Energy believes it has been successful in assembling an attractive acreage position and asset portfolio and is well situated, through its unique technical expertise and proven ability to operate and manage a drilling program, to unlock the potential of its reserves, which it believes will create significant shareholder value. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy’s estimated proved, probable and possible reserves were 15.7 MMBoe, 12.3 MMBoe and 20.0 MMBoe, respectively. Of its 15.7 MMBoe of proved reserves, 13.2% were proved developed and 99.9% were oil.

Santa Maria Energy was formed in December 2008, though it began acquiring leases and conducting exploration and development activities in 2002 through predecessor companies. Santa Maria Energy’s management has a proven track record of working as a team to acquire, develop and exploit oil and natural gas reserves in California using both heavy oil thermal enhanced oil recovery methods (“EOR”) as well as conventional operations. Members of the management team have an average of more than 28 years of oil and natural gas industry experience working for numerous public and private companies on domestic and international projects in the upstream oil and natural gas industry. The majority of Santa Maria Energy’s management team has worked together for over eight years.

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had interests in and operated 21 gross (21 net) active producing wells in its Diatomite projects. Santa Maria Energy currently holds 12,796 gross (12,523 net) acres in its Diatomite project area. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had interests in and operated 43 gross (43 net) active producing wells in its Monterey projects. Santa Maria Energy currently holds 7,289 gross (6,667 net) acres in its Monterey project area. NSAI has identified 268 proved, 238 probable and 295 possible potential drilling locations and, in addition, Santa Maria Energy has identified 740 incremental potential drilling locations on its Orcutt Diatomite acreage. NSAI has identified six proved drilling locations and, in addition, Santa Maria Energy has identified 35 incremental potential drilling locations on its Orcutt Monterey acreage. Santa Maria Energy has identified 6,160 potential drilling locations on the NW Casmalia Field Diatomite acreage and 69 potential drilling locations on its Santa Maria Valley acreage. These potential drilling locations are sites where an economically productive well may be drilled, as determined by either company petroleum engineers or independent petroleum engineering consultants, relying on geologic, engineering, drilling and production data. The actual potential drilling locations on which Santa Maria Energy drills will ultimately depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, natural gas and oil prices, costs, drilling results and other factors. Santa Maria Energy also seeks to acquire additional undeveloped acreage and producing properties with additional potential drilling locations that meet its general business strategies.

The following table summarizes Santa Maria Energy’s leasehold position and potential drilling locations by primary geographic area as of December 31, 2013:

	Developed Acreage				Undeveloped Acreage				Total Acreage				Potential Drilling Locations

(1) PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. Standardized measure is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For additional information about PV-10 and how it differs from the standardized measure, please see “Summary Historical Santa Maria Energy Operating and Reserve Data.”

(2) Production rates are year-to-date as of December 31, 2013.

The following table provides summary information regarding Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves by project as of December 31, 2013. The following table discloses Santa Maria Energy’s proved oil reserves calculated by NSAI.

	Working Interest Percentage			Oil Reserves (MBbl) (1)
Field				Proved Developed		Proved Undeveloped		Total Proved		% of Total Reserves
Orcutt Diatomite		99.6	%(2)		575		13,230		13,805		88.3	%
Orcutt Monterey (1)		100.0	%		1,492		340		1,832		11.7	%
Total					2,067		13,570		15,637		100.0	%

(1) Additionally, Santa Maria Energy recognized 107.8 MMcf of proved developed natural gas reserves in the Orcutt Monterey field which it intends to sell to a third party. All other natural gas reserves are planned to be used as fuel for the steam generators in connection with Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Diatomite operations and are considered to be lease use natural gas.

(2) Santa Maria Energy has one working interest partner in its Orcutt Diatomite property with a 0.375% working interest. This partner elected not to participate in 126 wells of the Company’s 136-well project. This partner is subject to non-consent penalties and it is not anticipated that payout will occur.

Additionally, there is an unleased mineral interest in Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt leases owned by the surface owner. This unleased mineral interest entitles the mineral owner to its share of the value of production from each lease less its proportionate share of 100% of the costs associated with the drilling, development and operation of each well and lease. This payout is anticipated to be reached in November 2017, at which time Santa Maria Energy’s working interest will be reduced to 95.5% for all of Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Diatomite project.

Business Strategies

Santa Maria Energy’s primary objective is to maximize cash flow and shareholder value through cost efficient development of its assets in a safe and profitable manner, while also opportunistically expanding its asset base. The key elements of Santa Maria Energy’s strategy are:

Grow Proved Reserves, Production and Cash Flow Through Accelerated Exploration, Appraisal and Development. Utilizing cyclic steam technology to produce its Diatomite resources and both conventional and unconventional horizontal drilling to develop its Monterey resources, the management team at Santa Maria Energy has the experience and technical “know-how” to grow and maximize the value of its reserves. Santa

139

Maria Energy plans to invest in 2014 over $100 million to drill 55.0 gross/55.0 net Diatomite wells and 5.0 gross/3.8 net Monterey wells and build necessary infrastructure, including processing facilities and steam generation equipment, to accelerate production, achieve economies of scale and reduce operating costs. Development on all of these projects will continue through 2015.

Continuously Improve Capital and Operating Efficiency. With numerous development opportunities in the Diatomite and Monterey, Santa Maria Energy focuses on the best allocation of resources to optimize production and enhance returns. In particular, Santa Maria Energy continuously seeks to maximize its recovery per well relative to the cost incurred and to minimize its operating cost per Boe produced.

Maintain Financial Flexibility and Sufficient Liquidity to Capitalize on Opportunities as They Arise. Santa Maria Energy strives to achieve financial flexibility by balancing development of its assets with the pursuit of growth and expansion opportunities. Santa Maria Energy believes that by prudently developing its existing acreage as well as selectively pursuing new opportunities, it can maximize the effectiveness of its financial resources to generate the greatest value for its investors. Santa Maria Energy plans to utilize the cash on hand after consummation of the merger, together with borrowings under its senior credit facility and other sources of debt as well as issuances of additional equity, to facilitate drilling on its undeveloped acreage.

Acquire Additional Low Risk and Value Accretive Oil-Weighted Resources by Leveraging Technical and Operational Expertise. Santa Maria Energy seeks to acquire additional undeveloped and producing properties that provide attractive potential returns. Santa Maria Energy’s initial focus will be on the Santa Maria Basin where Santa Maria Energy has significant operating experience, but Santa Maria Energy will also seek to acquire additional undeveloped acreage and producing properties that have upside potential and that meet its general business strategies. Santa Maria Energy intends to implement a return-focused acquisition strategy that takes into account its personnel capacity, availability of financing and favorable transaction terms.

Maintain a Disciplined, Financial Strategy Through an Active Hedging Program to Protect Expected Future Cash Flows. Santa Maria Energy seeks to maintain a conservative financial approach that reduces cash flow volatility. Among strategies employed to reduce the effects of commodity price volatility and risks attendant thereto, Santa Maria Energy utilizes oil price hedging. Santa Maria Energy has entered into swaps on oil volumes extending out as far as 48 months. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had entered into hedging contracts through November 2016 covering a total of approximately 120,000 Bbls of oil, or 41%, of Santa Maria Energy’s projected proved developed producing reserves at a weighted average price of $95.82/Bbl.

Uphold Commitment to the Exploration and Development of Natural Resources in an Environmentally Responsible Manner. Santa Maria Energy’s primary focus continues to be the safe and environmentally responsible strategic development of its oil resource base within its core operating area, through development drilling, down-spacing, remedial work, EOR methods and optimization technologies. Santa Maria Energy also manages regulatory risk by operating projects safely and within the confines of the regulatory environment in California. Santa Maria Energy strives to develop oil-rich areas in California in an environmentally superior manner.

Competitive Strengths

Santa Maria Energy has a number of competitive strengths that will help it successfully execute its business strategies, including:

Strong Management Team with Substantial Operational, Technical, and Regulatory Affairs Expertise. Santa Maria Energy’s operational, legal and technical management personnel have on average more than 28 years of relevant experience, with companies such as Getty Oil Company, Pemex, Chevron Corporation, United Meridian Corporation and other independent producers of oil and natural gas. Santa Maria Energy’s management and technical teams also have extensive experience with heavy oil and thermal EOR, as well as conventional operations. This knowledge, along with an intimate understanding of the California regulatory process, provides

140

Santa Maria Energy with a distinct competitive advantage, particularly as it continues to evaluate new technologies and steam practices to improve ultimate recoveries of oil on existing and future properties.

Well-Defined and High-Quality Oil-Weighted Resource Potential in the Prolific Santa Maria Basin. Santa Maria Energy’s target reservoirs have an average depth of less than 4,000 feet, are generally considered to possess lower geologic risk, and are located in areas where Santa Maria Energy is an established producer and has extensive geologic data. Santa Maria Energy has estimated that it has over 7,500 potential drilling locations in the Monterey and Diatomite on the acreage which it controls.

Concentrated Acreage Position. Substantially all of Santa Maria Energy’s acreage is located in three areas of northern Santa Barbara County, including the Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Monterey fields, the NW Casmalia field and the Santa Maria Valley field. The close proximity of acreage position has enabled Santa Maria Energy to implement cost effective management practices and capture economies of scale.

Extensive Asset Portfolio with Significant Development Potential. Since 2002, Santa Maria Energy has continued to grow its asset base through lease acquisitions of targeted development areas. All of Santa Maria Energy’s development areas are located in the Santa Maria Basin, an area in California that has produced 885 MMBbls of oil since 1888. NSAI estimates that Santa Maria Energy has 15.7 MMBoe proved, 12.3 MMBoe probable, 20.0 MMBoe possible oil and natural gas reserves within the Orcutt Oil Field. Santa Maria Energy estimates there to be potential drilling locations at Orcutt Diatomite, Orcutt Monterey, Santa Maria Valley and NW Casmalia of 1,541, 41, 69 and 6,160 respectively. Additional regulatory approvals will be needed to develop these resources. See “Additional Information About Santa Maria Energy—Permitting Process.”

Operational Control Over the Majority of Its Portfolio and Financial Flexibility. By retaining operational control over all of its assets, Santa Maria Energy can more effectively control the timing of development activities and technological enhancements, marketing of production and allocation of its capital budget. In addition, the timing of most of Santa Maria Energy’s capital expenditures is discretionary, which allows it a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the size of its capital budget.

History

Santa Maria Energy was formed in December 2008, though it began acquiring leases and conducting exploration and development activities in 2002 through predecessor companies.

In 2005, Santa Maria Energy identified an opportunity to acquire the rights to the Orcutt Monterey lease. Through a series of transactions between August 2005 and March 2007, Santa Maria Energy acquired all rights to the Orcutt Monterey lease which underlies its Orcutt Diatomite. Certain founding members, including current managers Richard R. Powell, Jr., Ramon Elias, Michael Prats, John Piedmonte and David L. Pratt (collectively, the “Founders”) made early stage investments in Santa Maria Energy and partially funded operations through the sale of working interests in the leases. The initial acquisitions were held by the Founders in separately owned companies.

In 2008, the separately owned interests were consolidated into Santa Maria Energy in conjunction with a private equity financing by the Kayne Investors, a private equity firm focused on high-growth oil and natural gas companies. In December 2008, the Founders contributed the membership interests of the entities holding the working interests in the NW Casmalia and Orcutt leases and others to Santa Maria Energy in exchange for Santa Maria Energy common units.

By January 1, 2008, Santa Maria Energy owned approximately 47% of the working interests in the Orcutt leases and 49% of the working interests in the NW Casmalia leases. The remaining working interests were held directly by outside investors (other than the Founders).

Thereafter, Santa Maria Energy consolidated in excess of 99% of these disparate working interests into Santa Maria Energy (the “Roll-Up”). In 2009 and 2010, as part of the Roll-Up, non-Founder investors contributed their working interests in the leases in exchange for common units in Santa Maria Energy. As a result

141

of the Roll-Up, as of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy owns 100% of the working interests in all of its properties, except the Orcutt Diatomite where Santa Maria Energy owns 99.6% of the working interests and NW Casmalia where Santa Maria Energy owns 99.0% of the working interests.

In June 2013, Santa Maria Energy received an assignment from its operating partner of its 60% interests in the Santa Maria Valley leases.

Effective as of March 31, 2012, Santa Maria Energy changed its name from “Santa Maria Pacific Holdings, LLC” to “Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC.” Additionally, Santa Maria Energy merged its six existing wholly owned subsidiaries, Santa Maria Pacific, LLC, Gitte-Ten, LLC dba Phoenix Energy, LLC, Orcutt Properties, LLC, Escolle Properties, LLC, NW Casmalia Properties, LLC, and Santa Maria Valley Properties, LLC, into one company which currently does business under the name “Santa Maria Energy, LLC,” a California limited liability company (“Santa Maria Energy LLC”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy. Santa Maria Energy LLC holds all project assets and acts as the sole operator for Santa Maria Energy’s projects. Santa Maria Energy also formed a new wholly owned subsidiary named SM Energy Management, LLC, a California limited liability company, to perform administrative services for Santa Maria Energy.

Properties

Santa Maria Energy has multiple projects within the Santa Maria Basin, where it is focused on developing the Diatomite and Monterey formations, as shown in the map below. These fields are all located in northern Santa Barbara County, an oil-producing area in California since 1888. Historically, over 27 billion barrels of oil have been produced in the State of California and 885 MMBbls of oil have been produced in the Santa Maria Basin. California’s current daily production of oil is approximately 526,000 Bopd, which accounts for approximately 7% of the total U.S. daily oil production. In excess of 12,000 Bopd are currently produced onshore Santa Barbara County. Santa Maria Energy expects to have a capital budget in excess of $120 million in 2014 of which approximately 69% will be spent on the Orcutt Diatomite project and the balance spent on the Orcutt Monterey field, Santa Maria Valley field and the NW Casmalia field.

Diatomite Projects

Oil-bearing Opal A Diatomite results from skeletal remains of marine microorganisms called diatoms settling to the bottoms of prehistoric oceans. It is a reservoir rock found at depths of 2,200 feet or less within the Sisquoc formation of the Santa Maria Basin. This rock has two very important characteristics making it an attractive oil resource: high porosity and high oil saturations.

For decades, oil-bearing Diatomite reservoir rock has been known to exist in both the San Joaquin Valley and the Santa Maria Basin; yet, prior to mid-1990, the “know-how” to unlock and economically produce the resource had eluded the industry, primarily due to the impermeability, or low flow rate, of the formations. During the past two decades, the industry has begun to economically produce oil from the Diatomite by effectively applying various steam injection techniques.

Santa Maria Energy has two thermal Diatomite projects:

• Orcutt Diatomite Field, Santa Barbara County, California. The Orcutt Diatomite field has been in continuous production since the early 1900’s, primarily from the Monterey reservoir. Santa Maria Energy’s predecessors acquired leases covering 4,024 acres in the Orcutt Diatomite field in November 2003. Prior to 2009, there had been limited production from the Orcutt Diatomite field formation using conventional methods and none using thermal production techniques.

During the 2008 to 2009, Santa Maria Energy drilled 16 pilot-wells to test the commercial potential of the project and help delineate the areal extent of the formation within the field. Santa Maria Energy began cyclic steam injection for the 16-well pilot program in September 2009. Santa Maria Energy gained additional approval and drilled 10 additional pilot Diatomite wells in 2011.

Santa Maria Energy commenced permitting for permanent operations of a 136-well production plan (including the 26 existing pilot wells) in 2009. In September 2011, a Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report was published related to Santa Maria Energy’s 136-well expansion in the Orcutt Diatomite project. In November 2013, Santa Maria Energy received final regulatory approval for expanding its Orcutt Diatomite drilling program, consisting of 110 new gross (110 net) wells plus facilities. Expansion activities are expected to begin in 2014. See “—Recent Developments.” As of February 14, 2014, Santa Maria Energy uses one 26.5 MMbtu/hr steam generator, which nominally produces between 1,100 and 1,200 Bspd and can provide volumes of steam for at least 20 wells. In connection with the project expansion, Santa Maria Energy plans to replace the existing pilot generator with two 85 MMBtu/hr steam generators. Santa Maria Energy expects that these two new steam generators will be able to support production activities in excess of the currently planned 136 well program.

As of December 31, 2013, the Orcutt Diatomite field covered nearly 4,024 gross (3,841 net) acres of which approximately 770 gross (735 net) acres is estimated to be productive from the Diatomite formation. Using vertical and deviated wells, shallow cyclic steam injection and thermal EOR techniques, Santa Maria Energy anticipates that up to 1,541 gross wells would be needed to fully develop the field if all 735 net acres are productive.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Orcutt Diatomite field produced approximately 152 Bopd.

• NW Casmalia Diatomite, Casmalia Oil Field Area, Santa Barbara County, California. The Founders first acquired rights to these leases in January 2000. The field is physically located northwest of the Casmalia oil field.

After the first well was drilled in July 2005, Santa Maria Energy’s predecessors installed substantial infrastructure and facilities in the NW Casmalia field throughout 2006 and into 2007. The project was suspended in 2007 after initial steaming results indicated low-gravity oil, which could not be processed through existing processing facilities.

143

After further study, Santa Maria Energy reperforated two wells and conducted a two-well conceptual pilot in early 2009 with mobile facilities. This pilot demonstrated that lighter gravity oil can be produced and processed from the NW Casmalia. Santa Maria Energy is working on future development plans in this area.

Santa Maria Energy plans to perform additional geologic work during 2014 and beyond to further delineate the extent of potential NW Casmalia development sites along this 4.2 mile long Diatomite trend. Santa Maria Energy believes it has up to 6,160 potential drilling locations in this Diatomite trend based upon one-half-acre spacing for development. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy has not requested a third-party reserve report on the NW Casmalia field.

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy held 8,772 gross acres (8,682 net acres), of which approximately 3,000 gross (2,969 net) acres are estimated to be productive.

Certain leases held by Santa Maria Energy in the NW Casmalia, including the Stokes lease (covering approximately 503 acres) and the Goodwin lease (covering approximately 547 acres), are leased from certain Founder and manager affiliates: Richard R. Powell, Jr., Ramon Elias and Michael Prats.

Monterey Projects

Santa Maria Energy has two Monterey projects:

• Orcutt Monterey Oil Field, Santa Barbara County, California. This reservoir is deeper than the Orcutt Diatomite field and has been on production since the early 1900s. It was acquired by Santa Maria Energy’s predecessor through a series of acquisitions culminating in March 2007. According to the State of California production records, a total of approximately 24 MMBoe of oil has been produced to date from this formation, which Santa Maria Energy estimates to be 8.2% of the OOIP, or 54% of recoverable oil.

The Orcutt Monterey wells have historically been drilled to a depth of approximately 3,000 feet and target both oil and natural gas reserves. Well spacing is generally 10 acres per well. Most likely, Santa Maria Energy’s future operations in the area will utilize horizontal wells to accelerate recovery of oil relative to the rate of recovery by traditional vertical wells.

The Orcutt Monterey formation is a naturally fractured siliceous rock with a porous matrix. Although the matrix permeability is low, there are natural fractures within the reservoir. When well bores intersect these fractures, production rates can be substantially better than rates where wells do not intersect the fractures. The objective of horizontal wells is to increase the likelihood of intersecting these fractures. In addition, there is strong water drive, which helps maintain reservoir pressure.

As of December 31, 2013, this field covered nearly 4,024 gross (3,841 net) acres, of which approximately 4,024 gross (3,841 net) acres are estimated to be productive. Santa Maria Energy anticipates in order to fully develop the field it would require drilling up to 41 horizontal wells in the future. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Orcutt Monterey field produced approximately 163 Bopd.

Also as of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy owns and operates 43 gross (43 net) Orcutt Monterey wells. One gross (one net) horizontal well has been drilled by Santa Maria Energy and is classified by NSAI as proved developed. All the other wells were drilled in the 1980s or earlier. Santa Maria Energy plans to drill two Orcutt Monterey horizontal wells in 2014 which are classified by NSAI as proved undeveloped locations.

In addition, during the next five years, Santa Maria Energy expects to produce 3.8 Bcf of natural gas associated with the oil production, of which all but 0.1 Bcf will be used as lease use gas as a source of fuel for the steam generators utilized by Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite operations. Santa Maria Energy is currently selling a limited amount of natural gas from its production in this area of approximately 300 Mcfd.

144

• Santa Maria Valley Monterey Oil Field, Santa Barbara County, California. Approximately four years ago, Santa Maria Energy began working with and through a partner to acquire leases in this field. To date, Santa Maria Energy has acquired 1,674 gross (1,004 net) acres in the Santa Maria Valley field. The target leases are within the Santa Maria Valley field. This field was effectively abandoned in mid-1990 after producing in excess of 180 MMBoe which is estimated to be 7% of the OOIP, or 48% of recoverable oil.

Pursuant to the agreement between Santa Maria Energy and its partner, the partner is responsible for 100% of the lease acquisition costs. Santa Maria Energy will be responsible for 100% the costs to permit the first two wells to be drilled. All drilling costs will be borne 60% by Santa Maria Energy and 40% by the partner. Santa Maria Energy’s partner has earned its 40% working interest by completing the agreed upon acreage acquisition and Santa Maria Energy owns a 60% working interest in this acreage.

In 2014, Santa Maria Energy plans to initiate the re-development of this field by drilling five horizontal wells and anticipates that in order to fully develop the field it would require drilling up to 69 horizontal wells in the future. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy has not requested a third-party reserve report on the Santa Maria Valley field.

Permitting Process

Santa Maria Energy will need to apply for regulatory entitlement from the County of Santa Barbara and other responsible agencies in order to fully develop its properties. While permit processing times ultimately depend on the specific features of the project, Santa Maria Energy believes that the regulatory entitlement process for each stage of development planned should be completed within a two-year process in the event an environmental impact report is required. This is based on California Public Resources Code § 21151.5 (lead agency shall establish time limits that do not exceed “one year for completing and certifying environmental impact reports”) and Santa Barbara County’s adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA, published June 2010, Article VIII (“EIRs must be completed and certified within 365 days from the date the Lead Agency found the application complete for processing”). This conclusion is also based on Santa Maria Energy’s recent permitting experience with the 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project, where regulatory approval was received approximately two years after the filing of the Notice of Preparation of the Environmental Impact Report. Some projects may not require an environmental impact report and require less time to process.

Recent Developments

Orcutt Diatomite Project Permitting Status. In November 2013, Santa Maria Energy received approval from the Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”) for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project. With the receipt of discretionary approval by the Board of Supervisors, Santa Maria Energy may now proceed to obtain necessary construction permits and ancillary permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies, including the County of Santa Barbara, Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources, Air Pollution Control District, Department of Fish & Wildlife and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, among others.

Senior Credit Facility. On December 11, 2013, Santa Maria Energy entered into a second amendment to its senior credit facility with Mutual of Omaha Bank, N.A., (“Mutual of Omaha”), its senior lender, whereby the borrowing base of the senior credit facility was increased to $13.0 million (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey and Diatomite reserves). In addition, the trigger date for a forced reduction of general and administrative costs was moved from January 1, 2014 to May 31, 2014. Also, the expiration of the Kayne Guaranty (described below) was extended from December 31, 2013 to May 31, 2014, and the full amount of the Kayne Guaranty was made available to Santa Maria Energy. This increased the amount available under the senior credit facility to $24.0 million. Finally, the maturity date of the senior lender note was moved from November 2014 to February 2015. See “Financing Activities—Kayne Guaranty” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Certain Santa Maria Energy Transactions—Transactions with Kayne Investors—Kayne Guaranty” for further discussion on the Kayne Guaranty.

145

Preferred Units. In conjunction with the changes made to the senior credit facility, the Kayne Investors agreed to move the date of redemption of the Santa Maria Energy preferred units from December 2014 to March 2015. This modification was reflected in an amendment to Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement in November 2013.

Sector Note. In November 2013, the Kayne Investors paid the remaining balance due on the Sector Note (described below) on behalf of the non-paying former members of Casmalia Investors, LLC. (“CILLC”). In exchange for making such payment, the Kayne Investors received 196,263 common units that were forfeited by the non-paying members of CILLC in accordance with an agreed upon formula. The President of Sector Capital Corporation (“Sector”), the obligee of the Sector Note, serves on the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy. For additional information on the Sector Note, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Santa Maria Energy—Financing Activities—Sector Note” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Certain Santa Maria Energy Transactions—Sector Note.”

Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The following table presents Santa Maria Energy’s estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, based on the proved reserve reports prepared by NSAI, Santa Maria Energy’s independent petroleum engineering firm, prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All of Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves are located in the United States.

(1) Volumes and values were determined under SEC pricing using actual net prices received at the wellhead, adjusted for transportation, gathering, processing, compression and other costs.

(2) PV-10 was prepared using SEC pricing, discounted at 10% per annum, without giving effect to taxes or hedges. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information about PV-10 and how it differs from the Standardized Measure, please see “Summary Historical Santa Maria Energy Operating and Reserve Data.” The following table sets forth the estimated future net cash flows from

146

Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves (without giving effect to commodity hedges), the present value of those net cash flows before income tax (PV-10), and the prices used in projecting future net cash flows at December 31, 2013:

	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2013
	(In millions)
Future net cash flows	$	447.0	$	646.0
Present value of future net cash flows:
Before income tax (PV-10)	$	170.6	$	265.7

Future net cash flows represent projected revenues from the sale of proved reserves net of production and development costs (including operating expenses and production taxes). Costs are based on costs in effect for the applicable year without escalation. There can be no assurance that the proved reserves will be produced as estimated or that the prices and costs will remain constant. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves and related information and different reserve engineers often arrive at different estimates for the same properties.

(3) All of Santa Maria Energy’s estimated probable and possible reserves are classified as undeveloped. In addition, Santa Maria Energy did not request that NSAI review the entire resource base in 2012, therefore there are no probable or possible reserves as of December 31, 2012.

Petroleum engineering is and must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating volumes of economically recoverable oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. As a result, the estimates of different engineers often vary. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production may justify revisions of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates often differ from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas and of future net revenues are based on a number of variables and assumptions, all of which may vary from actual results, including geologic interpretation, prices and future production rates and costs. Please see “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Oil and Natural Gas Data

Evaluation and Review of Proved Reserves

Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves and PV-10 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 were independently prepared by its outside petroleum engineering firm, NSAI, a worldwide leader of petroleum property analysis for industry and financial organizations and government agencies. NSAI is an independent petroleum engineering firm that has provided consulting services throughout the world for over 50 years and performs consulting petroleum engineering services under Texas Board of Professional Engineers Registration No. F-2699. Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves and PV-10 as of December 31, 2011 are based on evaluations prepared by its previous independent petroleum engineering firm, GCA. Their estimates were prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines for estimating oil and natural gas reserves. When preparing Santa Maria Energy’s reserve estimates, NSAI and GCA relied on information and data furnished by Santa Maria Energy with respect to ownership interests, oil and natural gas production, well test data, historical costs of operations and development, product prices, and agreements relating to current and future operations of properties and sales of production, which information and data was not independently verified by NSAI or GCA.

The technical persons at NSAI primarily responsible for preparing Santa Maria Energy’s proved, probable and possible reserve estimates are Mr. C. Ashley Smith and Mr. Shane M. Howell. Mr. Smith has been practicing consulting petroleum engineering at NSAI since 2006. Mr. Smith is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas (No. 100560) and has over 13 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering, with over 7 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves. He graduated from University of Missouri-Rolla (Missouri University of Science & Technology) in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Petroleum Engineering. Mr. Howell has been practicing consulting petroleum geology at NSAI since 2005. Mr. Howell is a Licensed Professional Geoscientist in the State of Texas, Geology (No. 11276) and has over 16 years of practical experience in petroleum geosciences, with over 8 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves. He graduated from San Diego State University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological

147

Sciences and in 1998 with a Master of Science in Geological Sciences. Both technical principals meet or exceed the education, training, and experience requirements set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; both are proficient in judiciously applying industry standard practices to engineering and geoscience evaluations as well as applying SEC and other industry reserves definitions and guidelines. NSAI does not own an interest in any of Santa Maria Energy’s properties, nor is it employed by Santa Maria Energy on a contingent basis.

One of Gaffney, Cline & Associates’ (GCA’s) Technical Directors was responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserves audit of the assets of Santa Maria Energy as of December 31, 2011. This senior manager has over 40 years of diversified international experience in the upstream sector of the exploration and production industry. He is qualified as a Reserves Auditor through having more than 35 years’ experience in petroleum engineering with at least 25 years being in responsible charge of the estimation and evaluation of Reserves Information. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree (Honors) in Physics from Bristol University, England, and a Master of Science degree (Distinction) in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College, London. He is a member in good standing of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and is presently past-Chairman of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oil and Gas Reserves Committee. He is also a member in good standing of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers and is a Chartered Petroleum Engineer in the UK. He is registered as a European Engineer with the Federation of National Engineering Associations. GCA does not own an interest in any of Santa Maria Energy’s properties, nor is it employed by Santa Maria Energy on a contingent basis.

Reserves are reviewed and approved by Santa Maria Energy’s resource department, which includes reservoir engineers and geologists, who oversee and control preparation of the reserve report by working with the independent consulting petroleum engineers to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of data furnished to the independent consulting petroleum engineers. The resource team reports to the Vice President of Operations, who manages oversight and compliance responsibility for the internal reserve estimate process. The resource department, including the Vice President of Operations, consists of a professional degreed mechanical engineer, a degreed petroleum engineer, a degreed geologist and a degreed chemical engineer with an average of 25 years of experience, including reservoir engineering/management experience. All are members of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Reserves

Santa Maria Energy has a comprehensive process that governs the determination and reporting of its proved, probable and possible reserves. As part of its internal control process, Santa Maria Energy’s reserves are reviewed, at a minimum, semi-annually by an internal team composed of reservoir engineers, geologists and accounting personnel for adherence to SEC and industry practices of revenue definitions and guidelines based on a detailed analysis of available geological and reservoir data, production performance data and land records. The review includes, but is not limited to, confirmation that reserve estimates (1) include all properties owned; (2) are based on proper working and net revenue interests; and (3) reflect reasonable cost estimates and field performance.

Periodically, Santa Maria Energy’s resource department meets with NSAI to review properties and discuss methods and assumptions used by Santa Maria Energy to prepare reserve estimates. Santa Maria Energy works closely with NSAI to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of the data it furnishes as part of the reserve evaluation process.

Proved reserves are reserves that, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil or natural gas actually

148

recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, Santa Maria Energy, GCA and NSAI employed technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of Santa Maria Energy’s proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available downhole and production data and well-test data. Probable reserves are reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. Estimates of probable reserves which may potentially be recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques are by their nature more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized by Santa Maria Energy. Possible reserves are reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. Estimates of possible reserves are also inherently imprecise. Estimates of probable and possible reserves are also continually subject to revisions based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors.

Methodology Used to Apply Reserve Definitions

In the Orcutt Monterey, Santa Maria Energy’s estimated reserves are based on information from Santa Maria Energy’s operated proved developed producing reserve base, as well as public information from other operators in the area, which can be used to confirm or supplement Santa Maria Energy’s internal estimates. Santa Maria Energy has integrated the downhole and production information to form a geological model. From this model, NSAI has identified six proved undeveloped locations in Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Monterey as of December 31, 2013.

In the Orcutt Diatomite, estimated reserves are based on information from Santa Maria Energy’s operated proved developed producing reserve base, as well as public information from other operators in the area, which can be used to confirm or supplement Santa Maria Energy’s internal estimates. Santa Maria Energy has integrated the downhole and production information from its wells with geoscience, engineering and production performance information from an adjoining operator to form an extensive geologic model of Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite reservoir. The adjoining operator has active producing Diatomite wells within one mile of Santa Maria Energy’s active proved developed wells. Wells for both Santa Maria Energy and the adjoining operator are within the same reservoir and are being produced using similar recovery techniques. NSAI has identified 268 proved undeveloped, 238 probable and 295 possible drilling locations in Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Diatomite as of December 31, 2013. In addition, Santa Maria Energy has identified 740 incremental potential drilling locations on its Orcutt Diatomite acreage. The 268 proved undeveloped locations are directly adjacent to Santa Maria Energy’s existing proved developed wells and between the existing proved developed wells and the adjoining operator’s Diatomite wells, which are less than one mile away.

Changes in Proved Reserves During the Year Ended December 31, 2013

The following table summarizes the changes in Santa Maria Energy’s estimated proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2013 (in MBoe):

Proved Reserves, December 31, 2012	8,657
Extensions, Discoveries and Other Additions	7,998
Price and Performance Revisions	(870	)
Sale of Reserves in Place	—
Production	(130	)
Proved Reserves, December 31, 2013	15,655

During the year ended December 31, 2013, no reserves were converted from proved undeveloped to proved developed.

149

Extensions, discoveries and other additions during the year ended December 31, 2013 of 7,998 MBoe comprise well locations added directly adjacent to Santa Maria Energy’s existing proved developed reserves and between the existing proved developed wells and the adjoining operator’s Diatomite wells less than one mile away through further study by NSAI and Santa Maria Energy. Santa Maria Energy conducted geologic mapping of the Orcutt Diatomite field and that of an adjacent project operated by the other operator. The company has drilled and is producing wells within the same Diatomite reservoir using similar recovery techniques, within one mile of Santa Maria Energy’s proved developed Diatomite wells. Santa Maria Energy presented the geoscience and engineering information, as well as performance analysis of the adjacent project to NSAI, which ultimately led to an increase in proved undeveloped locations. Based on the Santa Maria Energy’s presentation, as well as its own analysis, NSAI added 157 proved undeveloped locations to the 111 proved undeveloped locations assessed in the December 31, 2012 report. Furthermore, in November 2013, Santa Maria Energy received approval from the Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors for the ability to drill 111 of the 268 proved undeveloped wells. Santa Maria Energy believes that it should be able to permit and drill the remaining 157 proved undeveloped wells within five years based on the time limits established by California Public Resources Code § 21151.5 (lead agency shall establish time limits that do not exceed “one year for completing and certifying environmental impact reports”) and recent permitting experiences.

Estimated future development costs relating to the development of Santa Maria Energy’s proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2013 are approximately $242.6 million over the next five years, which it expects to finance through the proceeds of the merger, additional issuances of equity, cash flow from operations and debt. All of Santa Maria Energy’s proved undeveloped reserves are expected to be developed over the next five years. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Santa Maria Energy—Approximately 86.7% of Santa Maria Energy’s total estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 were undeveloped, and those reserves may not ultimately be developed.”

Changes in Proved Reserves During the Year Ended December 31, 2012

The following table summarizes the changes in Santa Maria Energy’s estimated proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2012 (in MBoe):

Proved Reserves, December 31, 2011	6,744
Extensions, Discoveries and Other Additions	—
Price and Performance Revisions	2,090
Sale of Reserves in Place	—
Production	(177	)
Proved Reserves, December 31, 2012	8,657

Santa Maria Energy realized an increase to proved developed producing reserves of 115 MBoe, a 6% increase, in the year ending December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was comprised of 532 MBbl, net of production, recognized as a result of the improved performance of Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Monterey and Orcutt Diatomite fields. The improved performance was driven by increased production response from increased levels of downhole maintenance. The increase to total reserves was offset by a reduction in natural gas reserves of 417 MBoe (2,510 MMcf). The reduction in natural gas reserves was due to a reclassification of the majority of the natural gas reserves to lease-use natural gas.

Additionally, Santa Maria Energy realized an increase to proved undeveloped reserves of 1,908 MBoe, 92% of the change in revisions, in the year ending December 31, 2012 compared to the year ending December 31, 2011. The difference was due to an increase of 2,388 MBoe to Orcutt Diatomite as a result of a change in planned well-spacing for undeveloped locations from 1/3 acre to 1/2 acre spacing, while planned well count remained unchanged. Orcutt Monterey total proved reserves were reduced 479 MBoe as a result of the determination that natural gas reserves previously recognized as proved are intended to be used as lease-use natural gas and should not be recognized as proved reserves.

150

During the year ended December 31, 2012, no reserves were converted from proved undeveloped to proved developed.

No extensions, discoveries, other additions or sales of reserves in place were made during the year ended December 31, 2012 for the Orcutt Monterey and Orcutt Diatomite fields.

Acreage

The properties Santa Maria Energy owns are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other outstanding interests customary to the industry. The properties may also be subject to additional burdens, liens or encumbrances customary to the industry, including items such as operating agreements, current taxes, development obligations under oil and natural gas leases, farm-out agreements and other restrictions. Santa Maria Energy does not believe that any of these burdens materially interfere with the use of the properties. There are no material contracts that impact Santa Maria Energy’s lease position other than the term of the leases.

The following table presents, by operating area, leased acres as of December 31, 2013:

	Developed				Undeveloped				Total
	Gross		Net		Gross		Net		Gross		Net
Orcutt-Diatomite and Monterey		4,024		3,841		—		—		4,024		3,841
NW Casmalia		—		—		8,772		8,682		8,772		8,682

Total		4,024		3,841		12,611		11,851		16,635		15,692

Many of the leases comprising the undeveloped acreage set forth in the table above will expire at the end of their respective primary terms unless production from the leasehold acreage has been established prior to such date. Once production is established, the lease will remain in effect until the cessation of production. Santa Maria Energy had no leases expire in 2013, 751 gross (743 net) acres scheduled to expire in 2014, 9,731 gross (8,412 net) acres scheduled to expire in 2015 and 2,374 gross (1,692 net) acres scheduled to expire in 2016. Santa Maria Energy has not attributed any proved undeveloped reserves to acreage that has an expiration date which precedes the scheduled date for proved undeveloped drilling.

Santa Maria Energy’s calculation of such effects includes realized gains or losses on settlements for commodity derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting because Santa Maria Energy does not designate them as hedges.

Productive Wells

The following table sets forth information for Santa Maria Energy’s properties at December 31, 2013, relating to its productive wells in which it owns a working interest. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of production, thereby excluding injection wells. Gross wells are the total number of wells in which Santa Maria Energy has an interest, and net wells are the sum of Santa Maria Energy’s fractional working interests owned in the gross wells. Santa Maria Energy operates all of the wells in which it owns a working interest. Santa Maria Energy only has productive oil wells and no natural gas wells.

Drilling Activity

The following table presents Santa Maria Energy’s development and exploratory drilling activity for the last three full years. There is no correlation between the number of productive wells completed during any period and the aggregate reserves attributable to those wells. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of commercial production.

Much of the work associated with drilling, completing and connecting wells, including stimulating, logging and pipeline construction is performed by subcontractors, operating under Santa Maria Energy’s direction, who specialize in such operations, as is common in the industry. When judged advantageous, Santa Maria Energy acquires materials and services used in the development process through competitive bidding by approved vendors. Santa Maria Energy also directly negotiates rates and costs for services and supplies when conditions indicate that such an approach is warranted.

Santa Maria Energy’s focus over the last two years has been on obtaining regulatory approval for its Orcutt Diatomite 136-well project, which accounts for the lack of drilling activity during the last two years.

Operations

Oil and Natural Gas Sales

Oil Sales. Historically, Santa Maria Energy has sold its oil production to both third party marketers and major oil companies. Santa Maria Energy is currently able to sell all the oil that it produces under existing sales contracts. Existing sales agreements are evergreen contracts that are cancellable upon 30 days’ written notice, which is customary in the industry. Since October 2011, Santa Maria Energy has sold 100% of its oil production to Phillips 66.

Santa Maria Energy has two sales contracts with Phillips 66: one for its Diatomite production and another for its Monterey production. The calculation of the oil price for Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite production is derived by taking the average of the Midway-Sunset posted prices for Chevron Products Company, ExxonMobil Corporation, Shell Trading (US) Company and Union 76 in effect for the month of delivery, with a deduction for transportation. The calculation of the oil price for Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey production is derived by taking the average of the Buena Vista posted prices for ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil Corporation, Shell Trading (US) Company and Union 76 in effect for the month of delivery. These prices are adjusted for quality and basis differences. The net prices received by Santa Maria Energy are used by the independent petroleum consultants to

153

derive an overall differential against the appropriate benchmark price in order to derive the prices used in the reserve report to comply with SEC guidelines.

Santa Maria Energy’s production is purchased by Phillips 66 and transported by truck. Phillips 66 contracts with a third-party to load, transfer and deliver Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite and Monterey oil production. Ownership of the oil transfers to Phillips 66 at Phillips 66’s lease automatic custody transfer unit. Although Santa Maria Energy has sold all of its oil production to Phillips 66 since October 2011, and despite the value of Santa Maria Energy’s oil production to Phillips 66, Santa Maria Energy cannot be certain that the commercial relationship with Phillips 66 will continue for the indefinite future, and Santa Maria Energy cannot be certain that Phillips 66’s refineries will not suffer significant down-time or be closed. If for any reason Phillips 66 is unable or unwilling to purchase Santa Maria Energy’s oil production, and Santa Maria Energy is unable to find alternative purchasers of its oil production, Santa Maria Energy’s business and results of operations would be adversely affected. Santa Maria Energy has no minimum volume delivery requirement under its contract with the first purchaser of its oil. Santa Maria Energy has in the past sold to other first purchasers, and Santa Maria Energy believes that those markets would likely be available in the future.

Oil represented 99% of Santa Maria Energy’s total equivalent net proved reserves as of December 31, 2013 and accounted for 88% of its production and 99% of its oil and natural gas revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Natural Gas Sales. Historically, Santa Maria Energy has not sold its associated natural gas to third parties due to lack of an available market. Santa Maria Energy uses a portion of the Orcutt Monterey natural gas production to operate steam generators at the Orcutt Diatomite field. The natural gas produced from the Orcutt Monterey formation contains a number of contaminants, which must be removed prior to use as fuel for steam generation. Beginning in 2013, Santa Maria Energy located a third party interested in purchasing a limited quantity of produced natural gas. Santa Maria Energy cannot be certain that the commercial relationship with this third party will continue. If for any reason this third party is unable or unwilling to purchase Santa Maria Energy’s natural gas production, and Santa Maria is unable to find alternative purchasers of its natural gas production, Santa Maria Energy’s business and results of operations would not be adversely affected. Santa Maria Energy expects to be able to sell natural gas from its Monterey wells until additional natural gas requirements from the planned expansion at the Orcutt Diatomite field increase.

All costs associated with cleaning the natural gas are either shown as lease operating expenses for the Diatomite operation or reduction in the revenues of the natural gas sold to a third party. Until 2013, Santa Maria Energy did not report any natural gas sales in its financial statements.

Transportation and Gathering. Santa Maria Energy develops, owns and operates gathering systems in connection with its operations. Pipelines and related facilities can represent a significant portion of the capital costs for project developments, particularly in new areas located at a significant distance from existing third party pipelines or gathering systems. These costs are considered in Santa Maria Energy’s evaluation of its leasing, development and acquisition opportunities.

Oil and natural gas flow from the wellhead through the gathering system and into a tank battery, where the natural gas, oil and water are separated. The oil is stored in a stock tank, ready for shipment to third parties.

The entitlements Santa Maria Energy recently received for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite development consisted of two related but independent projects: (i) Santa Maria Energy’s 136-well cyclic-steaming, oil and gas production plan and a development plan to allow the installation of a 3-mile crude oil sales pipeline that would connect the Careaga Lease facilities with the existing Phillips 66 12-inch oil line; and (ii) Laguna County Sanitation District’s (“LCSD”) phase 3 recycled-water pipeline project. The 8-mile, 16” underground LCSD pipeline will be constructed by Santa Maria Energy at its sole expense and upon completion the ownership of the pipeline will be transferred to LCSD. The LCSD pipeline will deliver all water necessary for Santa Maria Energy’s on-site steaming operations at the Orcutt Diatomite field. Both projects were approved for development

154

by Santa Barbara County in November 2013. Santa Maria Energy anticipates funding the projects with proceeds from the Hyde Park trust account upon the consummation of the merger and funds raised by the Private Equity Financing. The LCSD pipeline project is expected to cost $7.9 million and to be fully constructed by the fourth quarter of 2014. Santa Maria Energy expects to eliminate $0.75 per Bbl of lease operating expenses when it no longer needs to transport oil by truck.

Steam Generations and Operations. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy uses one 26.5 MMBtu/hr steam generator, which produces between 1,100 and 1,200 Bspd and can provide volumes of steam for at least 20 wells. In connection with the Orcutt Diatomite project expansion, Santa Maria Energy plans to replace the existing pilot generator with two 85 MMBtu/hr generators. Santa Maria Energy expects that these two new generators will be able to support production activities in excess of 136 wells.

All of the natural gas volume used as fuel for the steam generator at Orcutt is currently supplied from the Orcutt Monterey field production. In Orcutt, the produced oil, natural gas and water from the Monterey and Diatomite reservoirs are processed at a joint site but in different separation facilities. Produced water is re-injected into the Monterey reservoir through state-approved water injection wells. The oil is dehydrated to meet shipping standards.

Competition

Santa Maria Energy believes that its exploration, drilling and production capabilities and the experience of its management and professional staff generally enable it to compete effectively. Santa Maria Energy encounters competition from numerous other oil and natural gas companies, drilling and income programs and partnerships in all areas of operations, including drilling and marketing oil and natural gas and obtaining desirable oil and natural gas leases on producing properties. Many of these competitors possess more personnel and greater financial resources than Santa Maria Energy, which may enable them to identify and acquire desirable producing properties and drilling prospects more economically. Santa Maria Energy’s ability to explore for oil and natural gas prospects and to acquire additional properties in the future depends upon its ability to conduct operations, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment. It is possible that international developments and improving economics for oil exploration may influence other companies to increase their domestic oil and natural gas exploration. Regardless, competition among companies for favorable prospects is expected to continue and, as a result, the cost of acquiring properties may increase in the future.

During 2013, the oil and natural gas industry experienced continued strong demand for drilling services and supplies, which resulted in increasing costs. Factors affecting competition in the industry include price, location of drilling, availability of drilling prospects and drilling rigs, pipeline capacity, quality of production and volumes produced. Santa Maria Energy believes that it can compete effectively in the industry in each of the listed areas. Nevertheless, Santa Maria Energy’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by competition. Santa Maria Energy also competes with other oil and natural gas companies as well as companies in other industries for the capital it needs to conduct its operations.

Title to Properties

Santa Maria Energy believes that it has satisfactory title to all of its producing properties under industry standards. As is customary in the industry, a preliminary title examination is conducted at the time the undeveloped properties are acquired. Prior to the commencement of drilling operations, a more in-depth title examination is conducted and remedial work is performed to cure any subsequently discovered defects in title that Santa Maria Energy deems significant. Individual properties may be subject to burdens that Santa Maria Energy believes do not materially interfere with the use or affect the value of the properties. Burdens on properties may include: customary royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements and for current taxes, obligations or duties under applicable laws, development obligations under natural gas leases or net profits interests.

155

Regulation

Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry

Santa Maria Energy’s operations are substantially affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations. In particular, oil production and related operations are, or have been, subject to price controls, taxes and numerous other laws and regulations. All of the jurisdictions in which Santa Maria Energy owns or operates producing oil and natural gas properties have statutory provisions regulating the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas, including provisions related to permits for the drilling of wells, bonding requirements to drill or operate wells, the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, sourcing and disposal of water used in the drilling and completion process, and the abandonment of wells. Santa Maria Energy’s operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These include regulations regarding the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in an area, and the unitization or pooling of oil or natural gas wells, as well as regulations that generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability or fair apportionment of production from fields and individual wells.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Although Santa Maria Energy believes it is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted. Therefore, Santa Maria Energy is unable to predict the future costs or impact of compliance. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil and natural gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states and the courts. Santa Maria Energy cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective.

Santa Maria Energy believes it is in substantial compliance with currently applicable laws and regulations and that continued substantial compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, current regulatory requirements may change, currently unforeseen environmental incidents may occur or past non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations may be discovered.

Regulation of Production of Oil and Natural Gas. The production of oil and natural gas is subject to regulation under a wide range of local, state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Federal, state and local statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Santa Maria Energy owns interests in properties located onshore in California. This state regulates drilling and operating activities by requiring, among other things, permits for the drilling of wells and indemnity bonds in order to drill or operate wells. The state also regulates the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandonment of wells, the amount of emissions that are permitted and underground injection activities. There are also specific laws that govern a number of environmental and conservation matters, including the protection of sensitive habitat and endangered species, the handling and disposing or discharge of waste materials, the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and the density of wells that may be drilled, the unitization and pooling of oil and natural gas properties and the maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells.

The failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Santa Maria Energy’s competitors in the oil and natural gas industry within California are generally subject to the same regulatory requirements and restrictions that affect Santa Maria Energy’s operations.

Various states impose severance taxes on oil extraction activities. California does not currently impose a severance tax but attempts to impose such a tax have been introduced in the past.

Regulation of Transportation and Sales of Oil. Sales of oil are not currently regulated and are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.

156

Santa Maria Energy’s oil sales are affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The transportation of oil in common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate regulation. FERC regulates interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce Act, and intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate oil pipeline rates, varies from state to state. Insofar as effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to all comparable shippers, Santa Maria Energy believes that the regulation of oil transportation rates will not affect its operations in any materially different way than such regulation will affect the operations of its competitors.

Further, interstate and intrastate common carrier oil pipelines must provide service on a non-discriminatory basis. Under this open access standard, common carriers must offer service to all shippers requesting service on the same terms and under the same rates. When oil pipelines operate at full capacity, access is governed by prorationing provisions set forth in the pipelines’ published tariffs. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy believes that access to oil pipeline transportation services generally will be available to it to the same extent as to its competitors.

Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters

Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas exploration and production operations are subject to numerous stringent federal, regional, state and local statutes and regulations governing occupational safety and health, the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection, some of which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties for failure to comply.

These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling or other regulated activity commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling, production and transporting through pipelines, govern the sourcing and disposal of water used in the drilling and completion process, limit or prohibit drilling activities in certain areas and on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, frontier and other protected areas, require some form of remedial action to prevent or mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells or closing earthen pits, establish specific safety and health criteria addressing worker protection and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations or failure to comply with regulatory filings. In addition, these laws and regulations may restrict the rate of production.

The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, as amended from time to time, to which Santa Maria Energy’s business operations are subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on Santa Maria Energy’s capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.

National Environmental Policy Act. Natural gas and oil exploration and production activities on federal lands are subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). NEPA requires federal agencies, including the Departments of Interior and Agriculture, to evaluate major agency actions having the potential to significantly impact the environment. In the course of such evaluations, an agency prepares an Environmental Assessment to evaluate the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of a proposed project. If impacts are considered significant, the agency will prepare a more detailed environmental impact study that is made available for public review and comment. This environmental impact assessment process has the potential to delay or limit, or increase the cost of, the development of natural gas and oil projects. Authorizations under NEPA also are subject to protest, appeal or litigation, which can delay or halt projects.

Waste Handling. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes, regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the EPA, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters and most

157

of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of oil or natural gas are currently regulated under RCRA’s non-hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. Any such change could result in an increase Santa Maria Energy’s costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial position. Also, in the course of its operations, Santa Maria Energy generates some amounts of ordinary industrial wastes, such as paint wastes, waste solvents and waste oils that may be regulated as hazardous wastes.

Water Discharges. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act, and analogous state laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency. The Clean Water Act also imposes spill prevention, control and countermeasure requirements, including requirements for appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a petroleum hydrocarbon tank spill, rupture or leak. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations.

The primary federal law for oil spill liability is the Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”), which establishes a variety of requirements pertaining to oil spill prevention, containment and cleanup. OPA applies to vessels, offshore facilities and onshore facilities, including exploration and production facilities that may affect waters of the United States. Under OPA, responsible parties, including owners and operators of onshore facilities, are required to develop and implement plans for preventing and responding to oil spills and, if a spill occurs, may be subject to oil cleanup costs and natural resource damages as well as a variety of public and private damages that may result from the spill.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund Law, imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These “potentially responsible parties” include the current and past owner or operator of the site where the release occurred, and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third-parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.

Santa Maria Energy currently owns, leases or operates numerous properties that have been used for oil and natural gas exploration and production for many years. Although Santa Maria Energy believes that it has utilized operating and waste disposal practices that met or exceeded industry standards, hazardous substances, wastes or hydrocarbons may have been released on or under the properties owned or leased by Santa Maria Energy, or on or under other locations, including off-site locations, where such substances have been taken for disposal. Some of Santa Maria Energy’s properties have been in operation for over 100 years and were operated by third parties or by previous owners or operators whose treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes or hydrocarbons were not under Santa Maria Energy’s control, and there is a strong likelihood that spills or releases have occurred in the past. These properties and the substances disposed or released on them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws. Under such laws, Santa Maria Energy could be required to remove previously disposed substances and wastes, remediate contaminated property or perform remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.

Air Emissions. The Clean Air Act, and comparable state laws, regulates emissions of various air pollutants through air emissions permitting programs and the imposition of other requirements. In addition, the EPA has

158

developed, and continues to develop, stringent regulations governing emissions of toxic air pollutants at specified sources. States can impose air emissions limitations that are more stringent than the federal standards imposed by the EPA, and California air quality laws and regulations are in many instances more stringent than comparable federal laws and regulations. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with air permits or other requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and associated state laws and regulations. State regulatory requirements relating to air emissions are particularly stringent in southern California.

Climate Change. Santa Maria Energy’s thermal projects involve the use of steam generators that emit GHGs and other emissions. Recent and future environmental regulations, including federal and state restrictions on GHGs that have been or may be passed in response to climate change concerns, may increase Santa Maria Energy’s operating costs and also reduce the demand for the oil it produces. The EPA adopted the so-called “Tailoring Rule” in May 2010, which imposes permitting and best available control technology requirements on the largest GHG stationary sources, in addition to certain reporting requirements.

In addition, California has taken statutory measures to reduce emissions of GHGs, primarily through the implementation of a cap and trade program. In 2006, the State of California adopted the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (“AB 32”). AB 32 required the CARB to establish and adopt regulations that will achieve an overall statewide reduction in GHG emissions to return to 1990 levels by 2020. In October 2011, the CARB adopted the final cap and trade regulation. Because Santa Maria Energy’s operations emit GHGs, primarily from the combustion of natural gas in steam generators used in the enhanced oil recovery process, its operations are subject to the regulations issued under AB 32. These regulations will increase costs of operations and may adversely affect operating results. Santa Maria Energy will be required to purchase and surrender allowances and/or offsets on an annual basis as a covered entity in the cap and trade program.

California Senate Bill 97 (“SB 97”), signed in August 2007, acknowledges that climate change is an important environmental issue that requires analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Pursuant to SB 97 and implementing amendments to CEQA guidelines, which became effective March 18, 2010, public agencies are required to analyze impacts of GHG emissions and make determinations of significance for projects subject to CEQA. Locally, Santa Barbara County and the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District have not adopted formal significance thresholds applicable to GHG emissions for new projects requiring CEQA review. However, Santa Barbara County has applied an interim threshold of 10,000 MTC. This will require Santa Maria Energy to purchase offsets in addition to those required by the state’s cap and trade program to fulfill its requirements to Santa Barbara County under CEQA. This will result in additional operating costs and may adversely affect operating results. The cost of compliance with Santa Maria Energy’s permits is reflected in the operating expense and capital cost of the NSAI reserve report as of December 31, 2013, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this joint proxy/prospectus forms a part. The cost is estimated to be approximately $0.72/Bbl of oil produced.

Well Stimulation. On September 20, 2013, California Governor Jerry Brown approved Senate Bill 4 (“SB 4”), which imposes requirements on oil and natural gas well operators and suppliers with respect to certain well stimulation techniques, including hydraulic fracturing and acid well stimulation treatment. SB 4 requires well operators to apply for a permit from the State of California’s Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources before performing or repeating any well stimulation treatments. The Division, in consultation with various agencies, including the State of California’s Department of Toxic Control Substances and the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, must adopt rules and regulations specific to well stimulation treatments on or before January 1, 2015. The rules and regulations will require full disclosure of the composition and disposition of the well stimulation fluids, including a detailed list of the well stimulation fluid’s chemical composition, in addition to landowner notification and groundwater and air quality monitoring. While Santa Maria Energy does not employ the hydraulic fracturing technique, it may use other well stimulation techniques regulated by SB 4 in its Monterey operations. SB 4 establishes additional levels of regulation at the state level that could lead to operational delays and increased operating costs, which delays could be more pronounced prior to the adoption of the final rules and

159

regulations. The adoption of legislation and/or regulations at the federal and local level could impose further chemical disclosure or other regulatory requirements that would increase costs of Santa Maria Energy’s operations and cause additional delays in acquiring regulatory approvals to drill and complete wells.

Underground Injection Control. Santa Maria Energy’s underground injection operations are subject to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as analogous state laws and regulations. Under Part C of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA established the Underground Injection Control program, which established the minimum program requirements for state programs regulating underground injection activities. The Underground Injection Control program includes requirements for permitting, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting of injection well activities, as well as a prohibition against the migration of fluid containing any contaminant into underground sources of drinking water. Federal and state regulations require Santa Maria Energy to obtain a permit from applicable regulatory agencies to operate its underground injection wells. Santa Maria Energy believes it has obtained or will obtain the necessary permits from these agencies for its underground injection wells and that it is in substantial compliance with permit conditions and applicable federal and state rules with regards to its existing operations. Nevertheless, these regulatory agencies have the general authority to suspend or modify one or more of these permits if continued operation of one of the underground injection wells is likely to result in pollution of freshwater, the substantial violation of permit conditions or applicable rules, or leaks to the environment. Although Santa Maria Energy monitors the injection process of its wells, any leakage from the subsurface portions of the injection wells could cause degradation of groundwater resources, to the extent present, potentially resulting in cancellation of well operations, issuance of fines and penalties from governmental agencies, incurrence of expenditures for remediation and imposition of liability by third parties for property damages and personal injuries.

OSHA. Santa Maria Energy is also subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSHA”), and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of the health and safety of employees. In addition, OSHA’s hazard communication standard, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act and implementing regulations and similar state statutes and regulations require that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in Santa Maria Energy’s operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. Santa Maria Energy believes that its operations are in substantial compliance with the applicable worker health and safety requirements.

Endangered Species Act. The federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) and the California Endangered Species Act (“CESA”) protect species threatened with possible extinction. Such laws and related regulations may have the effect of prohibiting or delaying Santa Maria Energy from obtaining drilling permits and may impose restrictions on pipeline or road building and other facility or construction activities in areas containing the affected species or their habitats. Several species indigenous to Santa Barbara County, California, including the California Tiger Salamander, Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp, California Red Legged Frog and/or their habitat, all of which are protected under ESA and CESA, have been identified on Santa Maria Energy’s properties. As a result, Santa Maria Energy’s development plans may be impacted because it is required to avoid these areas or the project costs could be increased because it is required to purchase suitable off-site mitigation lands to compensate for its development impacts.

California Environmental Quality Act. CEQA requires that public agencies refrain from approving projects with significant adverse environmental impacts if there are feasible alternatives or mitigation measures that can substantially reduce or avoid those impacts. Within Santa Barbara County, the exploration and production of oil and natural gas resources using enhanced oil recovery processes, including steam injection, requires discretionary review and analysis under CEQA depending on the scale or location of development. The discretionary review process is lengthy and may require considerable mitigation efforts in order to eliminate or minimize potential impacts to county resources that could adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s ability to operate its facilities in a profitable manner. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, drilling permits, the failure to obtain a drilling permit for a well or the receipt of a permit with unreasonable conditions or costs could have a material adverse effect on Santa Maria Energy’s ability to explore on or develop its properties.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had 27 employees. Santa Maria Energy’s engineers, supervisors and field technicians are responsible for the day-to-day operations of wells and some pipeline systems. In addition, Santa Maria Energy hires contractors from time to time to perform drilling, logging and pipeline construction functions at drilling sites, with its employees supervising the activities of the contractors. Santa Maria Energy’s employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Santa Maria Energy offers competitive benefits and salaries, and generally enjoys good employee relations.

Operating Hazards and Insurance

Santa Maria Energy’s exploration and production operations include a variety of operating risks, including, but not limited to, the risk of fire, explosions, blowouts, cratering, pipe failure, casing collapse, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as oil and natural gas leaks, ruptures and discharges of oil and natural gas. The occurrence of any of these could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. Santa Maria Energy’s pipeline, gathering and distribution operations are subject to the many hazards inherent in the industry. These hazards include damage to wells, pipelines and other related equipment, damage to property caused by hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires and other acts of God, inadvertent damage from construction equipment, leakage of oil and natural gas, fires and explosions and other hazards that could also result in personal injury and loss of life, pollution and suspension of operations.

Any significant problems related to Santa Maria Energy’s facilities could adversely affect its ability to conduct its operations. In accordance with customary industry practice, Santa Maria Energy maintains insurance against some, but not all, potential risks; however, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover any losses or exposure for liability. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against could materially adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s operations and financial condition. Santa Maria Energy cannot predict whether insurance will continue to be available at premium levels that justify Santa Maria Energy’s purchase or whether insurance will be available at all.

Legal Proceedings

On September 25, 2012, the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District (the “APCD”) issued to Santa Maria Energy, LLC a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) for violation of certain conditions under its Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate, which resulted in excess emissions in 2011 and 2012. A settlement has been reached with APCD. Per the terms of the agreement with APCD, payment of a settlement amount of $225,000 is due July 1, 2014.

Santa Maria Energy expects to be involved in non-material legal or governmental proceedings with regards to ordinary routine matters incidental to its business. While the ultimate outcome and impact of any proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, Santa Maria Energy’s management believes that the resolution of its pending proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Facilities

Santa Maria Energy currently leases 36,000 square feet of office space in Santa Maria, California, where its principal offices are located. On May 18, 2011, Santa Maria Energy entered into a five-year office space lease agreement with the Pope Group, LLC (“Pope Group”), a related party, which expires on June 1, 2016. Three of the managers of Santa Maria Energy (David Pratt, William Dell’Orfano and Ramon Elias) are partial beneficial owners of the Pope Group. In connection with the lease, Santa Maria Energy paid $100,000 for the option to purchase the property during the period of June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2017. Total office space lease payments to the Pope Group were $278,400 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

161

In addition, Santa Maria Energy owns/leases other, less significant, office space in locations where staff are located. Santa Maria Energy believes that its office facilities are adequate for its current needs and that additional office space can be obtained if necessary.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis of Santa Maria Energy Prior to the Merger

This section discusses the principles underlying Santa Maria Energy’s policies and decisions with respect to the compensation of its named executive officers and the principal factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. Santa Maria Energy’s “named executive officers” with respect to its 2013 fiscal year were as follows:

• David Pratt, President

• Ramon Elias, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering

• Kevin McMillan, Vice President of Finance and Administration

• Beth Marino, Vice President of Legal and Corporate Affairs and Secretary

• Kevin Yung, Vice President of Operations

Specifically, this section provides an overview of Santa Maria Energy’s executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of its executive compensation program and each compensation component that Santa Maria Energy provides. Each of the key elements of Santa Maria Energy’s executive compensation program is discussed in more detail below. The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below.

164

Executive Summary

Compensation for Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers consists primarily of the elements, and their corresponding objectives, identified in the following table.

Compensation Element	Primary Objective
Base Salary	To recognize performance of job responsibilities and to attract and retain individuals with superior talent.
Annual Cash Incentive Award	To promote Santa Maria Energy’s short-term performance objectives and reward individual contributions to the achievement of those objectives.
Discretionary Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards	To emphasize Santa Maria Energy’s long-term performance objectives, encourage the maximization of unitholder value and retain key executives by providing an opportunity to participate in the long-term appreciation in value of Santa Maria Energy.

To serve the foregoing objectives, Santa Maria Energy’s overall compensation program is generally designed to be flexible and complementary, rather than purely formulaic. In alignment with the objectives set forth above, Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has generally determined the overall compensation of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers and its allocation among the elements described above, relying on input from Santa Maria Energy’s management team.

Santa Maria Energy’s compensation decisions for the named executive officers in 2013, including each of the key elements of its executive compensation program, are discussed in more detail below.

Determination of Compensation

Roles of the Board of Managers and President in Compensation Decisions. During fiscal year 2013, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers and compensation committee, in conjunction with its President, were responsible for overseeing Santa Maria Energy’s executive compensation program, as well as determining and approving the compensation arrangements for the named executive officers. The Santa Maria Energy board of managers and President met periodically as necessary throughout the year to review adjustments to the compensation, including base salary, annual bonus and long-term equity awards, for Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers.

Santa Maria Energy’s President evaluates the individual performance and contributions of each other named executive officer and reports to the Santa Maria Energy board of managers and compensation committee his determinations regarding the other named executive officers’ compensation. Santa Maria Energy’s President does not participate in any formal discussion with the Santa Maria Energy board of managers and compensation committee regarding decisions on his own compensation and recuses himself from meetings when his compensation is discussed.

Santa Maria Energy does not generally rely on formulaic guidelines for determining types and levels of compensation, but rather maintains a flexible compensation program that allows Santa Maria Energy to adapt components and levels of compensation to motivate, reward and retain individual named executive officers for the attainment of financial and operational goals. In making compensation determinations, the Santa Maria Energy board of managers and compensation committee consider each named executive officer’s responsibilities, experience, skills and contributions to Santa Maria Energy’s overall performance, as well as Santa Maria Energy’s need to retain and incentivize the named executive officer.

165

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Santa Maria Energy strives to attract and retain highly qualified executives in a competitive industry. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy structures its executive officer compensation programs to provide competitive base salaries and benefits to attract and retain superior employees, as well as incentive compensation to motivate, incentivize and reward executive officers for attaining financial, operational, individual and other goals that are consistent with company performance. Santa Maria Energy also believes that its executive compensation program should include a long-term incentive component that aligns executives’ interests with its unitholders’ interests.

Santa Maria Energy views each component of its executive compensation program as related but distinct, and has historically reassessed the total compensation of its named executive officers to ensure that Santa Maria Energy’s overall compensation objectives are met. Santa Maria Energy has considered, but not relied upon exclusively, the following factors in determining the appropriate level for each compensation component: its recruiting and retention goals; its view of internal equity and consistency; the length of service of its executive officers; its overall operational and financial performance; and other relevant considerations.

Elements of Executive Compensation Program

The following discussion describes the primary components of Santa Maria Energy’s executive compensation program for each of its named executive officers, the rationale for each component and how compensation amounts are determined.

Base Salary. Santa Maria Energy provides its named executive officers with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to Santa Maria Energy during the fiscal year. Generally, initial base salaries are established based on consideration of, among other factors, the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities and the named executive officer’s experience and expertise. Thereafter, the base salaries of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers have been reviewed periodically by the compensation committee, board of managers and/or President and merit salary increases have been made as appropriate based on an executive officer’s responsibilities, individual contribution, prior experience and sustained performance, or other factors determined to be relevant by the compensation committee, board of managers or President.

The base salaries for Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers during 2012 and 2013 are set forth in the following table:⁽¹⁾

Name	Original 2012 Base Salary		2012 and 2013 Base Salary, As Reduced (1)
David Pratt	$	300,000	$	200,003
Kevin McMillan	$	300,000	$	240,003
Beth Marino	$	225,000	$	202,502
Kevin Yung	$	192,000	$	182,402
Ramon Elias	$	300,000	$	150,000

(1) During 2012, the named executive officers agreed to voluntary salary reductions beginning in August 2012 or October 2012, as applicable. Santa Maria Energy’s President, David Pratt, had his annual pay reduced to $240,000 in August 2012 and then subsequently further reduced to $200,000 in October 2012. All the other named executive officers had their annual salaries reduced in October 2012 to the 2012 and 2013 Base Salaries, As Reduced, noted above. Mr. Elias’ base salary was voluntarily reduced in 2012 in connection with a voluntary reduction in his duties and level of services provided to Santa Maria Energy. The salary reductions were undertaken to conserve capital and reduce general and administrative expense during the prolonged approval process for the Orcutt Diatomite project.

In connection with the merger, the compensation committee of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers has approved discretionary payments to each of its named executive officers, other than Mr. Elias, in order to compensate the executive officers for these voluntary salary reductions. The amount of such payments are intended to be equal to the amount of the executive’s forgone base salary as of the closing of the merger, and the payments are conditioned on the closing of the merger and the executive’s continued employment until the closing.

166

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation. Santa Maria Energy structures its compensation programs to motivate its named executive officers and other employees to achieve short-term financial and operational objectives and to reward its named executive officers and other employees for their contributions toward achieving such goals. Santa Maria Energy maintains an annual incentive program to reward its employees, including its named executive officers, based on Santa Maria Energy’s financial and operational performance, as compared to target goals during the year.

Target awards for each named executive officer are set by the compensation committee and board of managers at levels that it determines are necessary to maintain competitive compensation practices and properly motivate such named executive officers by rewarding them for Santa Maria Energy’s short-term performance and their contributions to that performance. The 2013 annual incentive awards were targeted for each of Messrs. Pratt, Elias, McMillan, Yung and Ms. Marino at 50% of their respective base salaries.

The 2013 performance targets consisted of ten different performance categories with an assigned weighting. The program included a minimum threshold of 90% overall performance (determined on a weighted basis), below which no annual bonuses would be payable, and a maximum payout of 200% of target bonus for each named executive officer if overall performance (determined on a weighted basis) equaled or exceeded 200% of target. The compensation committee recommended the performance targets to the board of managers who accepted this recommendation in 2013. The ten categories of Santa Maria Energy performance (and their respective weightings) included:

• Financing Agreement (10%)—an agreement reached between Santa Maria Energy and a new equity provider to fund the ongoing capital requirements.

• Santa Maria Energy valuation for financing (15%)—the target of $250 million for the enterprise valuation was set in regards to an agreed upon financing agreement.

• Diatomite production rate (10%)—the target was set based upon the 2013 NSAI projections.

• Monterey production rate (10%)—the target for Monterey production was set based upon the 2013 NSAI projections.

• G&A cost containment (10%)—the target for general and administrative costs was set based upon the 2013 budget projections.

• LOE cost containment, Diatomite (5%)—the target for lease operating expenses for Diatomite operations was set based upon the 2013 budget projections.

• LOE cost containment, Monterey (5%)—the target for lease operating expenses for Monterey operations was set based upon the 2013 budget projections.

• Permitting: environmental impact report (“EIR”) Planning Commission Approval (15%)—approval of Santa Maria Energy’s EIR on the Orcutt Diatomite project and was targeted as either a success or no-success result.

• Permitting: EIR final non-appealable approval (10%)—the passing of time after which no lawsuit could be filed after planning commission approval of the EIR and was targeted as either a success or non-success result.

• Average oil price realized on barrels not hedged (10%)—the target for realized oil price per barrel before the impact of hedging was $95.00/Bbl.

The established targets for Santa Maria Energy’s performance for the 2013 incentive compensation plan are set forth in the table below. Other than with respect to the “Santa Maria Energy Valuation for Financing” target, which is subject to the completion of the merger, the actual results of the other measures have been calculated and are shown below. Any compensation payable under the 2013 annual incentive compensation program is expected to be determined no later than the closing of the merger.

167

Category	Target		Actual Results		Target Weighting			Actual Weighting
Financing Agreement		Yes		Yes		10.0	%		10.0	%

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives. Santa Maria Energy believes that its executives, including its named executive officers, should have an ongoing stake in Santa Maria Energy’s success in order to closely align their interests with those of its unitholders. In addition, Santa Maria Energy believes that equity-based awards provide meaningful retention and performance incentives that appropriately encourage the named executive officers to work toward increasing value for Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy has awarded long-term equity incentives to its named executive officers in the form of phantom equity units (“Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units”) under the Amended and Restated Santa Maria Pacific Holdings, LLC 2008 Phantom Equity Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan”) and profits interests under its 2013 Profits Interest Plan (the “Profits Interest Plan”).

Each Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers and provides recipients with the opportunity to receive cash payments equal to the “fair market value” of a “membership unit” in Santa Maria Energy on the applicable settlement date. The fair market value of a membership unit is determined as set forth in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan and includes an adjustment for the repayment of $50,000,000 of capital invested in Santa Maria Energy. Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units are subject to time-based vesting requirements in order to provide a strong retention incentive for the named executive officers throughout the vesting period and are also subject to a performance-vesting condition that is satisfied upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. Such awards generally time-vest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per year on each anniversary of the grant date, and vest in full upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. Vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units are settled in cash upon the consummation of a liquidity event or any earlier payment date specified in the applicable award agreement evidencing such Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units. Additional information regarding Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units held by the named executive officers as of December 31, 2013 is set forth below in the table entitled “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2013 Fiscal Year End.” Santa Maria Energy did not grant any Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units in 2013.

In August 2013, Santa Maria Energy adopted the Profits Interests Plan, and in October 2013, the compensation committee awarded 1,000,000 profits interest units to Mr. McMillan. Mr. McMillan’s profits interest units time-vest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per year on each anniversary of the grant date, and vest in full upon the occurrence of a company sale. In connection with the merger, all profits interest units held by Mr. McMillan will be terminated without payment therefor. None of the other named executive officers has been granted profits interest units under the Profits Interest Plan.

Santa Maria Energy does not intend to make any further grants of Phantom Equity Units or profits interest units and intends to terminate the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan and Profits Interest Plan effective immediately prior to the merger.

Transaction Bonus. On November 27, 2013, Santa Maria Energy and Mr. McMillan entered into a bonus agreement pursuant to which Santa Maria Energy will pay a cash bonus to Mr. McMillan upon the closing of the merger equal to the amount he would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to the closing of the merger. The transaction bonus will be paid to Mr. McMillan within ten days following the closing, subject to his continued employment with Santa Maria Energy until at least immediately prior to the closing of the merger.

Severance Benefits. During fiscal year 2013, none of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers was a party to an employment or severance arrangement with Santa Maria Energy.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites. Santa Maria Energy provides certain employee benefits, including 401(k) and health and welfare benefits, to its employees through plans maintained by Your People Professionals, Inc., a California corporation and a professional employer organization. Santa Maria Energy maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, including its named executive officers. Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. Santa Maria Energy matches employee contributions dollar for dollar up to 4% of compensation. The 401(k) plan provides a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings with additional compensation in the form of an employer match that adds to the overall desirability of Santa Maria Energy’s executive compensation package.

All of Santa Maria Energy’s full-time employees, including its named executive officers, are eligible to participate in its health and welfare plans, which include medical, dental and vision benefits. Santa Maria Energy seeks to design its employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market, and modifies its employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices in the competitive market.

Santa Maria Energy’s highly compensated employees (those with an annual salary greater than $150,000) are entitled to a calculated number of employee time off (“ETO”) days. ETO days can be used by eligible employees to take time off or can be cashed-out as incremental pay. At the end of the plan year, any remaining ETO days which are not used will be cashed-out by Santa Maria Energy in the second pay period of January of the following plan year.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) requires that “nonqualified deferred compensation” be deferred and paid under plans or arrangements that satisfy the requirements of the statute with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. Failure to satisfy these requirements can expose employees and other service providers to accelerated income tax liabilities, penalty taxes and interest on their vested compensation under such plans. Accordingly, as a general matter, Santa Maria Energy designs and administers its compensation and benefits plans and arrangements for all of its employees and other service providers, including Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers, so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section 409A.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Santa Maria Energy follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”) for its equity-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date “fair value” of their equity-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their equity-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award. Grants of equity-based awards under Santa Maria Energy’s equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718. The Santa Maria Energy board of managers regularly considers the accounting implications of significant

169

compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to its equity incentive award plans and programs, and may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of Santa Maria Energy’s equity awards with its overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives as accounting standards change.

(1) Represents cash incentive bonus opportunities available for 2013 based on 2013 base salaries and 2013 performance. The annual bonuses payable under the 2013 annual incentive compensation program are not yet calculable and, accordingly, have not yet been determined. Any compensation payable under the 2013 annual incentive compensation program is expected to be determined no later than the closing of the merger. For additional information, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis of Santa Maria Energy Prior to the Merger—Elements of Executive Compensation Program—Annual Cash Incentive Compensation” above.

(2) Amounts shown in the “Threshold” column represent the minimum bonus amount that would be payable in the event that the overall weighted performance percentage was achieved at 90.1% (the first increment above the 90% threshold performance level established by the compensation committee and board of managers).

(3) Amounts shown in the “Target” and “Maximum” columns represent the executive’s target and maximum annual bonus, respectively, as determined by the compensation committee and board of managers.

(4) Represents an award of 1,000,000 profits interest units granted to Mr. McMillan on October 15, 2013. In connection with the merger, Mr. McMillan’s profits interest units will be terminated without payment therefor.

(5) The grant date fair value of Mr. McMillan’s profits interest unit award, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, was $0.

(6) Represents a cash bonus payable to Mr. McMillan upon the closing of the merger equal to the amount that Mr. McMillan would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan if he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to the closing of the merger, subject to his continued employment until immediately prior to the closing of the merger. For purposes of this calculation, the dollar value of the estimated future payout of this bonus is based on a value of $3.11 per Santa Maria Energy common unit.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2013 Fiscal Year End

The following table provides information regarding the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units and profits interest units held by the named executive officers as of December 31, 2013.

	Unit Awards
Name	Grant Date	Number of Units			Market Value of Units That Have Not Vested ($)
David Pratt (1)(6)	January 1, 2009		150.0	(2)	$	1,573,196	(3)

Ramon Elias	—		—			—

(1) Represents fully vested amounts.

(2) One Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers.

(3) For purposes of this calculation, fair market value of the Phantom Equity Units is based on a value of $3.11 per Santa Maria Energy common unit. Current fair market value of the Phantom Equity Units is presented in this table because the value of Santa Maria Energy

171

common units as of December 31, 2013 was not otherwise readily determinable. Santa Maria Energy believes that the fair market value of a common unit used for purposes of the calculations in this table is greater than or equal to the value of a common unit as of December 31, 2013.

(4) As described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis of Santa Maria Energy Prior to the Merger—Elements of Executive Compensation Program—Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives,” 20% of the profits interest units will vest on each anniversary of the date of grant, and 100% of any then-unvested profits interest units will vest upon a change in control of Santa Maria Energy, in each case, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. In connection with the merger, Mr. McMillan’s profits interest units will be terminated without payment therefor.

(5) The market value, as of December 31, 2013, of the profits interest units held by Mr. McMillan was $0.

(6) As described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis of Santa Maria Energy Prior to the Merger—Elements of Executive Compensation Program—Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives,” Phantom Equity Units will vest upon the satisfaction of both a service condition and a performance condition. The performance condition will be satisfied on the date on which a liquidity event (which generally includes a change in control transaction or a qualifying initial public offering) occurs.

(7) 40% of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units were time vested as of December 13, 2013, and 20% of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units will vest on each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control of Santa Maria Energy

During fiscal year 2013, none of Santa Maria Energy’s named executive officers were parties to severance agreements or employment agreements providing for severance benefits.

Upon a liquidity event (as defined in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan), which generally includes a change in control of Santa Maria Energy, each Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit held by the named executive officers will vest in full and each executive will become entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of a “Membership Unit” in Santa Maria Energy. For purposes of the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Unit Plan, one Membership Unit corresponds to 0.01% of the fair market value of Santa Maria Energy as determined by its board of managers. Upon the closing of the Hyde Park merger, Mr. McMillan will be entitled to receive a cash bonus equal to the amount that he would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units immediately prior to such change in control.

In addition, Mr. McMillan’s profits interest unit award provides for accelerated vesting of the units upon a change in control of Santa Maria Energy. Mr. McMillan and Santa Maria Energy have, however, entered into a profits interest unit cancellation agreement, pursuant to which all profits interest units held by Mr. McMillan will be terminated in connection with the closing of the merger without payment therefor.

The following table summarizes the payments that the named executive officers would have become entitled to receive if a change in control of Santa Maria Energy occurred on December 31, 2013:

Name	Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Unit Payment (1)
David Pratt	$	1,573,196
Ramon Elias	$	—
Kevin McMillan (2)	$	209,759
Beth Marino	$	209,759
Kevin Yung	$	629,278

(1) For purposes of this calculation, fair market value of Santa Maria Energy is based on a value of $3.11 per Santa Maria Energy common unit. Current fair market value is presented in this table because the value of Santa Maria Energy common units as of December 31, 2013 was not otherwise readily determinable. Santa Maria Energy believes that the fair market value of a common unit used for purposes of the calculations presented in this table is greater than or equal to the value of a common unit as of December 31, 2013.

(2) The value, as of December 31, 2013, of the profits interest units held by Mr. McMillan was $0. Consequently, for purposes of the payments to Mr. McMillan presented in this table, Santa Maria Energy has assumed that the relevant change in control was the closing of the merger and that Mr. McMillan would have become entitled to receive the cash bonus discussed above.

Compensation of Santa Maria Energy Managers

Members of Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers did not receive any compensation in 2013 for their service as managers. Santa Maria Energy reimburses members of its board of managers for all out-of-pocket expenses associated with attending board or committee meetings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF SANTA MARIA ENERGY

The following discussion and analysis of Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Santa Maria Energy’s historical financial statements and related notes as well as Santa Maria Energy’s pro forma condensed combined financial statements included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Santa Maria Energy’s historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and are presented in U.S. dollars. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon Santa Maria Energy’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Santa Maria Energy is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas in the Monterey formation and the Diatomite reservoir within the Sisquoc formation in northern Santa Barbara County, California. Santa Maria Energy has chosen to focus its exploration and development efforts on the Monterey and the Diatomite due to the largely unrealized hydrocarbon potential offered within these areas. Santa Maria Energy believes it has been successful in assembling an attractive acreage position and asset portfolio and is well situated, through its unique technical expertise and proven ability to operate and manage a drilling program, to unlock the potential of its reserves, which it believes will create significant shareholder value. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy’s estimated proved, probable and possible reserves were 15.7 MMBoe, 12.3 MMBoe and 20.0 MMBoe, respectively. Of its 15.7 MMBoe of proved reserves, 13.2% were proved developed and 99.9% were oil.

Santa Maria Energy was formed in December 2008, though it began acquiring leases and conducting exploration and development activities in 2002 through predecessor companies. Santa Maria Energy’s management has a proven track record of working as a team to acquire, develop and exploit oil and natural gas reserves in California using both heavy oil thermal enhanced oil recovery methods (“EOR”) as well as conventional operations. Members of the management team have an average of more than 28 years of oil and natural gas industry experience working for numerous public and private companies on domestic and international projects in the upstream oil and natural gas industry. The majority of Santa Maria Energy’s management team has worked together for over eight years.

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had interests in and operated 21 gross (21 net) active producing wells in its Diatomite projects. Santa Maria Energy currently holds 12,796 gross (12,523 net) acres in its Diatomite projects. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had interests in and operated 43 gross (43 net) active producing wells in its Monterey projects.

In November 2013, Santa Maria Energy received approval from the Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project. With the receipt of discretionary approval by the Board of Supervisors, Santa Maria Energy may now proceed to obtain necessary construction permits and ancillary permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies, including the County of Santa Barbara, Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources, Air Pollution Control District, Department of Fish & Wildlife and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, among others.

Factors that Significantly Affect Santa Maria Energy’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Santa Maria Energy recognizes revenues when its production is sold and title is transferred. Santa Maria Energy’s revenues are highly dependent upon the prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Historically, the

174

markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. The prices Santa Maria Energy receives for its oil and natural gas and its levels of production are subject to wide fluctuations and depend on numerous factors beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control, including supply and demand, economic conditions, foreign imports, the actions of OPEC, political conditions in other oil-producing countries, and governmental regulation, legislation and policies. Oil and natural gas prices are inherently volatile and are influenced by a variety factors which are outside of Santa Maria Energy’s control. Substantially all of Santa Maria Energy’s production is derived from oil wells, that also produce limited quantities of natural gas. To achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce its exposure to downward price fluctuations, Santa Maria Energy uses derivative instruments to hedge future sales prices on a significant portion of future oil production from its proved producing reserves. Santa Maria Energy currently uses fixed price oil swaps in which Santa Maria Energy receives a fixed price for future production in exchange for a payment of the variable market price received at the time future production is sold. At the end of each period, Santa Maria Energy estimates the fair value of these swaps and, because it is not eligible to elect hedge accounting, Santa Maria Energy recognizes the changes in the fair value of the unsettled commodity derivative instruments at the end of each accounting period. Santa Maria Energy expects continued volatility in the fair value of these swaps. Santa Maria Energy reviews the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties each year.

Given the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, it is likely that Santa Maria Energy’s estimate of discounted future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves will change in the near term. If oil and natural gas prices decline in the future, impairments of Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas properties could occur. Impairment charges required by these rules do not directly impact cash flows from operating activities.

Like all businesses engaged in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, Santa Maria Energy faces the challenge of natural production declines. As initial reservoir pressures are depleted, oil and natural gas production from a given well naturally decreases. Thus, an oil and natural gas exploration and production company depletes part of its asset base with each unit of oil or natural gas it produces. Santa Maria Energy intends to overcome this natural decline by drilling to find additional reserves and acquiring more reserves than its produces. Santa Maria Energy’s future growth will depend on its ability to enhance production levels from its existing reserves and to continue to add reserves in excess of production in a cost effective manner. Santa Maria Energy’s ability to make capital expenditures to increase production from its existing reserves and to add reserves through drilling is dependent on its capital resources and can be limited by many factors, including its ability to access capital in a cost-effective manner and to timely obtain drilling permits and regulatory approvals.

Any future acquisitions could have a substantial impact on Santa Maria Energy’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, funding future acquisitions may require Santa Maria Energy to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity.

The volumes of oil and natural gas that Santa Maria Energy produces are driven by several factors, including:

• success in drilling wells, including exploratory wells, and the recompletion of existing wells;

• the amount of capital Santa Maria Energy invests in the leasing and development of its oil and natural gas properties;

• facility or equipment availability and unexpected downtime;

• delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements; and

• the rate at which production volumes on its wells naturally decline.

175

Principal Components of Santa Maria Energy’s Cost Structure

The principal components of Santa Maria Energy’s cost structure include the following:

• Lease operating expenses (LOE). These are the day-to-day operating costs incurred to maintain production of Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas operations. Such costs include steaming, produced water recycling, pumping, maintenance, mitigation expenses, repairs and workover expenses. Cost levels for these expenses can vary based on supply and demand for oilfield services and natural gas prices.

• Production taxes. Production taxes consist of production and ad valorem taxes and are paid at fixed per unit rates established by federal, state or local taxing authorities.

• Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A). Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) includes the systematic expensing of the capitalized costs incurred to acquire, explore and develop oil and natural gas. As a “full cost” company, Santa Maria Energy capitalizes all costs associated with its acquisition, exploration and development efforts. Depletion of capitalized costs of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units of production method based upon estimated proved reserves. For the purposes of computing depletion, estimated proved reserves are re-determined as of the end of each year and on an interim basis when deemed necessary.

• General and administrative expense (G&A). These costs include overhead, including payroll and benefits for Santa Maria Energy’s corporate staff, costs of maintaining its headquarters, costs of managing Santa Maria Energy’s production and development operations, franchise taxes, audit and other professional fees and legal compliance expenses. After the consummation of the merger, these costs will also include expenses related to Santa Maria Energy Corporation being a public company, including, but not limited to, costs associated with annual and quarterly reports, investor relations activities, director and officer liability insurance costs and director compensation.

• Interest expense. Santa Maria Energy finances a portion of its working capital requirements with borrowings under its senior credit facility. As a result, Santa Maria Energy incurs substantial interest expense that is affected by both fluctuations in interest rates and Santa Maria Energy’s financing decisions. Santa Maria Energy expects to continue to incur significant interest expense as it continues to grow.

• Income tax expense. Through December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy has been a limited liability and treated as a pass-through entity, it has not paid any income tax or recorded any tax benefit or liability. Santa Maria Energy does pay some state franchise taxes. After consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be subject to federal income taxes at a statutory rate of 35% of pretax earnings.

Santa Maria Energy’s oil and natural gas production expenses include salaries and benefits of personnel involved in production activities (including equity-based compensation), steam and natural gas costs, electricity costs, maintenance costs, production taxes, ad valorem taxes and other costs necessary to operate its producing properties.

Factors that Significantly Affect Comparability of Santa Maria Energy’s and Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Santa Maria Energy’s historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, including for Santa Maria Energy Corporation, for the following reasons:

Merger with Hyde Park. The historical consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are based on the financial statements of Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s accounting predecessor, prior to the merger as described under “The Merger.” As a result,

176

the historical financial data may not give you an accurate indication of what Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s actual results would have been if the merger had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or what Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s future results of operations are likely to be.

Public Company Expenses. Upon consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation expects to incur direct, incremental G&A expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, costs associated with annual and quarterly reports to stockholders, tax return preparation, independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and independent director compensation. Santa Maria Energy Corporation estimates these direct, incremental G&A expenses initially to total approximately $3 million per year. These direct, incremental G&A expenses are not included in Santa Maria Energy’s historical results of operations.

Income Taxes. Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s accounting predecessor, is a limited liability company not subject to federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been provided for in Santa Maria Energy’s historical results of operations because taxable income was passed through to Santa Maria Energy’s unitholders. However, Santa Maria Energy Corporation is a corporation under the Code, subject to federal income taxes at a statutory rate of 35% of pretax earnings.

Increased Drilling Activity. Although Santa Maria Energy began operations in December 2008, it has engaged in limited drilling activity since inception. Santa Maria Energy received approval from the Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors for its 136-well Orcutt Diatomite project in November 2013. Upon consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy intends to commit significant capital to the development of the Orcutt Diatomite project, Santa Maria Energy expects to commit $106.0 million towards this project over the next two years and drill a total of 111 wells.

Financing Arrangements. Santa Maria Energy believes that $150.0 million of new capital from equity sales, indebtedness or additional cash flow will be required to fund planned capital projects. The capital provided by the merger would partially meet the requirements of the capital expenditure program. However, Santa Maria Energy may need to raise $110.0 million in additional capital if all of the Hyde Park shares that can exercise conversion rights exercise those rights. Santa Maria Energy Corporation has begun the process to raise up to $110.0 million in the Private Equity Financing depending on the level of the Hyde Park stockholders that exercise their conversion rights. See “Merger Agreement—Private Equity Financing.”

Payments under Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan. As a result of the merger, a “Liquidity Event” will occur under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan. A Liquidity Event triggers an immediate acceleration of vesting and requires a payment be made to participants in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan within ten days of the event. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy will recognize stock compensation expense of approximately $5.2 million for the estimated fair value of the prospective distributions to the participants in the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan upon consummation of the merger. This charge will have a dilutive effect on the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to the stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. In addition, as a result of the merger, a transaction bonus of $0.2 million in cash will be paid to Kevin McMillan.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

Oil and natural gas sales. Oil sales decreased $3.0 million, or approximately 20%, to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, from $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was due to lower realized oil prices resulting in a $0.4 million reduction in revenue and lower oil production resulting in a $2.6 million reduction in sales between periods. The lower oil sales volume was primarily due to decreased oil production from Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite property. Santa Maria Energy began natural gas sales in January 2013, which provided $0.2 million in additional revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to no revenues from natural gas sales for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The average net realized oil price before the effect of settled derivatives was $101.43 per Bbl for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $104.56 per Bbl in the year ended December 31, 2012. Oil sales volumes decreased 69 Bopd to 315 Bopd for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 384 Bopd for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a Boe basis, sales were 356 Boed for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 384 Boed for the year ended December 31, 2012. The average net realized natural gas price was $1.97 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Lease operating expenses. LOE decreased to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the variable costs associated with lower production. On a per unit basis, LOE decreased to $48.79 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $50.14 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2012. The natural gas sales increased the Boe reported for the year ended December 31, 2013 by an average of 41 Boed.

General and administrative expense. G&A increased $0.3 million to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Expenses relating to the merger recorded in 2013 were $1.4 million. G&A for 2013 not including expenses incurred in connection with the merger would have been $5.1 million, a $1.1 million decrease from the 2012 expenses. This decrease was due to staff reductions and other cost reductions implemented in 2012.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A expense decreased by $1.4 million to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. Santa Maria Energy’s lower oil production accounted for 58% of the change, and a lower depletion rate accounted for 42% of the change. The average depletion rate of $27.42 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2013 is 16% lower than the rate of $32.59 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2012. The lower depletion rate is due to an increase of proved reserves in both the December 31, 2012 and the December 31, 2013 reserve reports without a commensurate increase in either Santa Maria Energy’s book property value or its net future capital cost.

Interest and debt amortization expense. Interest expense increased to approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase is due to higher average outstanding debt of approximately $4.1 million for year ended December 31, 2013, accounting for $0.1 million of the increase. In addition, debt amortization costs of $0.6 million related to a fee payable to the Kayne Investors for the Kayne Guaranty that supports Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility, offset by the write-off in 2012 of $0.1 million in debt amortization costs, accounts for the remainder of the change. See “—Financing Activities—Kayne Guaranty” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Certain Santa Maria Energy Transactions—Transactions with Kayne Investors—Kayne Guaranty” for further discussion on the Kayne Guaranty.

Loss on commodity price risk management activity contracts. The derivative instruments Santa Maria Energy has in place have not been classified as hedges for accounting purposes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133. Consequently, these derivative contracts are marked-to-market each month with fair value gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, recognized currently as a gain or loss on commodity price risk management activities on the income statement. Cash flow is only impacted to the extent the actual settlements under the contracts result in making a payment to, or receiving a payment from, the counterparty.

Santa Maria Energy recognized a $0.6 million loss related to commodity price risk management activities in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a $0.2 million gain in the year ended December 31, 2012. The unrealized gain was due to an increase in fair market value of the contracts and the unrealized loss was due to a decrease in fair market value of the contracts.

(2) Average prices shown in the table reflect the sales prices received before and after giving effect to Santa Maria Energy’s realized commodity hedging transactions. The calculation of such after-effects includes realized gains or losses on settlements for commodity derivatives. Natural gas production was converted at 6 Mcf to 1 Bbl of oil to calculate Boe and Boed amounts. This ratio is an estimate of the energy equivalence content of the products and does not reflect their relative economic value.

Oil and natural gas sales. Oil sales increased $1.2 million, or approximately 9%, to $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $13.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was due to both higher realized oil prices resulting in a $0.4 million improvement in revenues and higher oil production resulting in a $0.8 million improvement in sales between the periods. The higher oil sales volume was entirely due to increased oil production from Santa Maria Energy’s Diatomite property with the addition of 10 new wells drilled in May 2011 and partially offset by a 17% reduction in oil production from Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey property. Certain wells in the Monterey property were abandoned during the time periods mentioned to accommodate the expansion of the Diatomite property, which accounts for the reduction in Monterey oil production.

The average net realized oil price before effects of settled derivatives was $104.56 per Bbl for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $101.89 per Bbl for the year ended December 31, 2011. Oil sales volumes increased 22 Bopd to 384 Bopd for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 362 Bopd for the year ended December 31, 2011. Comparative volumes are the same on a Boe basis as Santa Maria Energy had no natural gas sales in either of the years ending December 31, 2011 or 2012.

Lease operating expenses. LOE increased to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to costs associated with increased production and the use of temporary facilities. On a per unit basis, LOE increased to $50.14 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $48.38 per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was entirely due to rental equipment and contract labor costs associated with delays in acquiring permanent project approval of the pilot operations in Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt Diatomite field. Rental infrastructure necessary for expanding operations was intended to be used on a temporary basis based on an expectation of shorter lead times for permit acquisition.

General and administrative expense. G&A remained unchanged at approximately $6.2 million for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2012.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A decreased by $0.6 million to $4.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2012 compared to $5.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2011. The change in DD&A expense is due to a lower depletion rate, partially offset by higher production in 2012. The average depletion rate of $32.59 per Boe for the year ending December 31, 2012 represents a 13% decrease from a rate of $37.60 for the year ending December 31, 2011. Production for the year ending December 31, 2012 increased 6% to 140 MBoe for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 132 Mboe for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Interest and debt amortization expense. Interest expense increased to approximately $0.9 million for the year ending December 31, 2012 from approximately $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase is due to higher average outstanding debt of approximately $1.8 million in 2012, accounting for approximately $0.1 million of the $0.3 million increase. In addition, Santa Maria Energy entered into a revolving credit facility with a new lender and expensed all of the debt issuance costs related to its previous lender, resulting in a $0.2 million increase of debt amortization costs for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

Gain on commodity price risk management activity contracts. Santa Maria Energy recognized a $0.8 million gain related to mark-to-market derivative contracts in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a $0.5 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2011. The unrealized gains are due to an increase in fair market value of Santa Maria Energy’s derivative contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Santa Maria Energy includes in this joint proxy statement/prospectus the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. Santa Maria Energy provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable financial measures as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Santa Maria Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from operations:

Plus:

• Unrealized commodity price risk management activity fair value loss;

• Net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments;

• Net interest expense;

• Depreciation, depletion and amortization;

• Accretion of asset retirement obligations; and

• Other non-cash operating items;

Less:

• Unrealized commodity price risk management activity fair value gain;

• Net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments; and

• Other non-cash operating items.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by Santa Maria Energy’s management and by external users of Santa Maria Energy’s consolidated financial statements, such as investors, lenders under its senior credit facility, commercial banks and others, to assess:

• the financial performance of Santa Maria Energy’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

• Santa Maria Energy’s operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the upstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and

• the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are cash flows provided by operating activities and consolidated net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows provided by operating activities or net income (loss) from operations. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Securityholders should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Santa Maria Energy’s results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Santa Maria Energy’s cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Santa Maria Energy’s working capital needs;

183

• although depreciation, depletion and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, depleted and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• Santa Maria Energy’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Santa Maria Energy’s management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these data points into their decision-making process.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) from operations:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Santa Maria Energy’s development, exploitation and acquisition activities require significant operating and capital expenditures. Historically, Santa Maria Energy has used cash flow from operations, borrowings under its senior credit facility and other issuances of debt, as well as periodic equity contributions, as its primary sources of liquidity. Santa Maria Energy’s liquidity may be affected by declines in oil and natural gas prices, an inability to access the capital and credit markets and the success of its commodity price risk management activities, which may subject Santa Maria Energy to the credit risk of the counterparties to these agreements. Risks may increase due to circumstances beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control, such as a general disruption of the financial markets and adverse economic conditions that cause substantial or extended declines in oil and natural gas prices. Please read “—Capital Requirements” below for a description of Santa Maria Energy’s proposed capital budget and capital expenditures for 2014.

Working Capital

At December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had a $1.1 million working capital deficit before considering unused borrowing availability of $4.6 million under its senior credit facility.

Financing Activities

Senior Credit Facility

In February 2010, Santa Maria Energy entered into a $100.0 million senior credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which provided it with an initial borrowing base of $13.0 million.

184

In November 2012, Santa Maria Energy entered into an amended and restated $50.0 million senior credit facility with Mutual of Omaha, which replaced the $100.0 million facility. This senior credit facility provides borrowing availability of $20.0 million. The original loan amount consisted of a $9.0 million borrowing base (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey reserves) and an $11.0 million borrowing availability supported by the Kayne Guaranty. In exchange for posting the Kayne Guaranty, Santa Maria Energy agreed to the following terms with the Kayne Investors: (1) payment of a $1.5 million fee upon certain trigger events; and (2) if the Kayne Guaranty is called by Mutual of Omaha, (i) the Kayne Investors shall have the right to elect a majority to the Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers, and (ii) Santa Maria Energy shall execute a note payable to the Kayne Investors for the amount paid pursuant to the Kayne Guaranty, which will accrue interest at 12%. Mutual of Omaha has the right to call upon the Kayne Guaranty on the earlier of (a) maturity or acceleration of the facility, (b) violation of certain debt covenants, or (c) December 31, 2013.

Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility contains negative covenants that limit its ability, as well as the ability of its subsidiaries, among other things, to incur additional debt, pay dividends on stock, make distributions of cash or property, change the nature of its business or operations, redeem stock, make investments, create liens, enter into leases, sell assets, sell capital stock of subsidiaries, guarantee other indebtedness, enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries, enter into certain types of swap agreements, enter into take-or-pay or other prepayment arrangements, merge or consolidate and enter into transactions with affiliates. Santa Maria Energy is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00, a current ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 (including unused availability) and a net worth of $73.0 million. Furthermore, Santa Maria Energy is obligated to reduce general and administrative expenses to specifically targeted levels that are significantly below current expense levels if certain criteria are not met.

In June 2013, the payment date of the fee associated with the Kayne Guaranty was extended to the earlier of January 1, 2015 or the closing of an equity transaction. Santa Maria Energy also entered into a first amendment to the senior credit facility in June 2013 whereby (1) the borrowing base was increased to $10.0 million (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey reserves) causing an automatic reduction in the Kayne Guaranty to $10.0 million, and (2) the date for the required reduction in general and administrative expense was extended to January 1, 2014.

On December 11, 2013, Santa Maria Energy entered into a second amendment to its senior credit facility whereby the borrowing base was increased to $13.0 million (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey and Diatomite reserves). In addition, the trigger date for a forced reduction of general and administrative costs was moved from January 1, 2014 to May 31, 2014. Also, the expiration of the Kayne Guaranty was extended from December 31, 2013 to May 31, 2014, and the full amount of the Kayne Guaranty was made available to Santa Maria Energy. This increased the amount available under the senior credit facility to $24 million. Finally, the maturity date of the senior lenders note was moved from November 2013 to February 2014. Santa Maria Energy expects that the borrowing base will be maintained at $13.0 million upon the consummation of the merger. See “Financing Activities—Kayne Guaranty” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Certain Santa Maria Energy Transactions—Transactions with Kayne Investors—Kayne Guaranty” for further discussion on the Kayne Guaranty.

Sector Note

In 2010, Santa Maria Energy assumed a limited recourse debt obligation of Casmalia Investors, LLC (“CILLC”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.8 million payable to Sector Capital Corporation (“Sector,” and the obligation referred to as the “Sector Note”). The President of Sector, William Dell’Orfano, serves on the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy. The debt obligation was secured by a lien on the working interests contributed by CILLC, which included a 21.7% working interest in NW Casmalia and 2.7% working in each of Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Monterey fields. The terms of the transaction with CILLC provided that CILLC (through its members) was primarily liable for the Sector Note. During 2011 and 2012, the CILLC members funded to Santa Maria Energy approximately $1.9 million in two separate tranches, which Santa Maria Energy

185

remitted to Sector as a reduction of the outstanding principal and interest. The remaining principal balance of $0.25 million was due December 31, 2012.

Santa Maria Energy opted to not repay the outstanding balance of this note on behalf of the CILLC members at December 21, 2012. Subsequently, Sector declared the unpaid loan in default in January 2013.

In November 2013, the Kayne Investors paid the remaining balance on behalf of the non-paying CILLC members. In exchange for making such payment, the Kayne Investors received 196,263 common units (0.38% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units) that were forfeited by the non-paying members of CILLC in accordance with an agreed upon formula.

Preferred Units

Under the Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC’s limited liability company agreement, Santa Maria Energy had the right to issue to the Kayne Investors up to an aggregate of fifty thousand (50,000) preferred units representing redeemable membership interests in Santa Maria Energy at a purchase price of $1,000 per preferred unit. In connection with each purchase of the preferred units, Santa Maria Energy was required to grant the Kayne Investors an aggregate share of the common units in amount determined in accordance with a pre-agreed formula.

In February 2012, Santa Maria Energy made its last draw of $5.0 million from the Kayne Investors. As of December 31, 2013, the Kayne Investors owned 50,000 preferred units and approximately 30% of the common units of Santa Maria Energy.

In December 2013, in conjunction with the changes to Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility, the Kayne Investors agreed to amend the Redeemable Preferred Unit Agreement to change the maturity date of the preferred units from December 2014 to March 2015. This change was reflected in an amendment to Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement.

Capital Requirements

Santa Maria Energy has made and will continue to make capital expenditures for the acquisition, development, exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Santa Maria Energy’s initial estimate for its capital budget in 2014 is $120.7 million. Santa Maria Energy operates and owns the majority interest in all of its fields. By virtue of this control, Santa Maria Energy exerts substantial control over the timing of all capital projects. There are currently limited commitments for 2014 capital projects totaling approximately $0.3 million. In addition, to the extent Santa Maria Energy moves forward on the Santa Maria Valley drilling, it will be responsible for 100% of the regulatory cost of approximately $0.2 million as outlined in the property acquisition and participation agreement with Western Energy Production LLC. To the extent that Santa Maria Energy does not raise enough funds to finance its 2014 capital budget, it will revise its capital budget to reflect the funds raised. Santa Maria Energy expects to be able to raise the capital required by the budget for these capital expenditures through the release of the Hyde Park trust funds in connection with the consummation of the merger, the Private Equity Financing or other issuances of equity, debt borrowings and cash provided by operations.

186

The proposed capital budget for 2014 is broken down by category below:

	$ in millions
Orcutt Diatomite	$	75.3
Orcutt Monterey		10.9
Santa Maria Valley		13.3
NW Casmalia		12.7
Land acquisition		0.8
Corporate		3.1
Capitalized G&A		4.6
Total	$	120.7

In the event Santa Maria Energy is only able to raise the $40 million minimum required to complete the merger, it would significantly modify its capital expenditure program. In that circumstance, Santa Maria Energy expects that the focus of the 2014 capital expenditure program would be on the Orcutt Monterey and Santa Maria Valley projects, with a total of two Orcutt Monterey wells and five Santa Maria Valley wells budgeted to be drilled. The other contemplated projects, including the LCSD pipeline, would be deferred until a combination of cash flow, incremental borrowing capacity or proceeds from new equity issuances were available. Should the LCSD pipeline be deferred, there will be no impact on the current operations of the Orcutt Diatomite field. Santa Maria Energy would apply for a variance from the County of Santa Barbara to allow current Orcutt Diatomite operations to continue with LCSD water and crude oil transported to and from the site via truck until the funds were available to construct the pipelines and additional wells in accordance with the recently approved development plan.

To the extent that Hyde Park stockholders exercise their conversion rights in connection with the merger, the funds available from the release of the Hyde Park trust account would be decreased. The merger will not be consummated if Hyde Park has less than $40 million of cash in its trust account after exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders. Thus, the minimum amount that will be available from the Hyde Park trust account upon consummation of the merger will be $40 million. Santa Maria Energy does not intend to use cash on hand, borrowings or proceeds from the Private Equity Financing or other sales of equity or debt or cash provided by operations to fund any conversions by Hyde Park stockholders in connection with the merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proceeds from the Private Equity Financing, when combined with the cash held in Hyde Park’s trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders, will not exceed $150 million. As a result, assuming no conversions are requested by Hyde Park stockholders in connection with the merger, Santa Maria Energy expects that approximately $79 million will be released from the Hyde Park trust account. Assuming that the minimum amount of $40 million will be available from the Hyde Park trust account upon consummation of the merger, the maximum amount that Santa Maria Energy could raise in the Private Equity Financing would be $110 million. However, Santa Maria Energy may not receive sufficient proceeds from the Private Equity Financing to fund the capital budget or may not be able to complete the Private Equity Financing or another private placement on favorable terms or at all.

To the extent that Santa Maria Energy is not able to raise adequate capital through the release of funds from the Hyde Park trust account, proceeds from the Private Equity Financing or other sales of equity or debt or cash from operations to fund its capital budget, it will be required to delay certain capital expenditures, including related to its drilling and development activities, which would adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s results of operations and financial condition in the near term.

Cash Flows

Santa Maria Energy’s cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil and natural gas, the success of its acquisitions and drilling activities and the operational performance of its producing properties.

187

Santa Maria Energy uses derivative instruments to manage its commodity price risk. This practice may prevent Santa Maria Energy from receiving the full advantage of increases in oil or natural gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative agreement. Further, Santa Maria Energy becomes subject to the credit risk of the counterparties to such agreements when the price of oil and natural gas decreases below the floor specified in the derivative agreement. The level of derivative activity depends on Santa Maria Energy’s outlook concerning market conditions, available derivative prices and its operating strategy.

The following table summarizes Santa Maria Energy’s cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011			2012			2013
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(302	)	$	(1,379	)	$	(1,464	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(21,760	)		(6,852	)		(3,585	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		21,143			6,542			4,736
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(919	)	$	(1,689	)	$	(313	)

Cash Flow Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Santa Maria Energy used cash totaling $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in operating activities. The decrease in cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily the result of decreased production volumes and revenues (including commodity price risk management activities), net of the decrease in operating costs, changes in working capital and an increase in interest expense.

Santa Maria Energy’s operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of prices for oil and natural gas. Prices for these commodities are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Factors include regional and worldwide economic activity, weather, infrastructure capacity to reach markets, and other variables which influence market conditions for these products. These factors are beyond Santa Maria Energy’s control and are difficult to predict. For additional information on the impact of changing prices on Santa Maria Energy’s financial position, see “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Cash Flow Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy used cash totaling $3.6 million in investing activities, of which Santa Maria Energy had $0.8 million of drilling and well work costs, $1.0 million of regulatory and engineering costs, $1.4 million of expenditures for facilities and $0.4 million of land costs. This represented a 50% decrease from the $7.2 million of cash used during the year ended December 31, 2012. During 2012, Santa Maria Energy had approximately $3.0 million of drilling and well work costs, $1.5 million of regulatory and engineering costs, $2.1 million of expenditures for facilities and $0.4 million of land costs.

Cash Flow Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2013 of $4.7 million was primarily the result of (i) net draws under the senior credit facility of $4.8 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2012 of $6.5 million was primarily the result of (i) net draws under the senior credit facility of $1.6 million and (ii) an issuance $5.0 million of preferred units.

188

Contractual Obligations

A summary of Santa Maria Energy’s outstanding contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 for the next five years and thereafter is provided in the following table.

Santa Maria Energy had the following obligations at December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Total		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter
Long term debt (1)	$	19,470	$	32	$	19,432	$	3	$	3	$	—	$	—
Guaranty fee		1,500		—		1,500		—		—		—		—
Interest on debt		27		27		—		—		—		—		—
Operating leases		2,081		380		453		565		480		203		—
	$	23,078	$	439	$	21,385	$	568	$	483	$	203	$	—

(1) This table does not include future commitment fees, interest expense or other fees on the senior credit facility because these are floating-rate instruments and Santa Maria Energy cannot determine with accuracy the timing of future loan advances, repayments or future interest rates to be charged.

Santa Maria Energy’s long-term debt consists of a related party note and the senior credit facility. Asset retirement obligations represent the estimated fair value at December 31, 2013 of Santa Maria Energy’s obligations with respect to the retirement and abandonment of its oil and natural gas properties. Each reporting period, the liability is accreted to its then present value. The ultimate settlement amount and the timing of the settlement of such obligations are unknown because they are subject to, among other things, federal, state and local regulation and economic factors. Operating leases relate primarily to obligations associated with Santa Maria Energy’s office facilities.

All mineral leases to which Santa Maria Energy is a party but are not held by production can be quitclaimed at any time by Santa Maria Energy. Therefore, there are no commitments recorded above with respect to these mineral leases. All of the leases covering Santa Maria Energy’s Orcutt properties are held by production. To the extent Santa Maria Energy holds leases in the Santa Maria valley or NW Casmalia fields, the annual delay rental cost would be approximately $0.04 million and $0.35 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements provided herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of Santa Maria Energy. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves and asset retirement obligations. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Santa Maria Energy’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are the most significant estimates used. All of the reserve data in the accompanying financial statements are estimates. Petroleum engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Furthermore, estimating reserves is not an exact science. Estimates can be expected to change as additional information becomes available. Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on the interpretation of engineering data to determine future rates of production and the timing of development

189

expenditures. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment of the estimator. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the reserves as estimated will ultimately be produced, nor can there be assurance that the proved undeveloped reserves as estimated will be developed within the period anticipated.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties.

Santa Maria Energy uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing activities. All costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties, including costs of unsuccessful exploration, costs of surrendered and abandoned leaseholds, delay lease rentals and the fair value of estimated future costs of site restoration, dismantlement and abandonment activities, a portion of general and administrative expenses and improved recovery systems are capitalized within the cost center. Capitalized general and administrative costs include salaries, employee benefits, costs of consulting services and other specifically identifiable costs and do not include costs related to production operations, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Improved recovery systems include costs related to drilling injection wells and related facilities. Santa Maria Energy did not capitalize any general and administrative costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2013. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and operating, maintaining and repairing improved recovery system are charged to lease operating expense in the period incurred.

Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending determination of the existence of proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed quarterly to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. Unproved properties whose costs are individually significant are assessed individually by considering the primary lease terms of the properties, the holding period of the properties, and geographic and geologic data obtained relating to the properties. Where it is not practicable to assess individually the amount of impairment of properties for which costs are not individually significant, such properties are grouped for purposes of assessing impairment. The amount of impairment assessed is added to the costs to be amortized. During 2012, Santa Maria Energy transferred $1,167,288 of unproved property costs to the full cost pool. No costs were transferred in 2013.

Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, Santa Maria Energy must perform a ceiling test each quarter on its proved oil and natural gas assets. The ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes for each cost center may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and natural gas reserves using current prices, excluding the future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, and a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and natural gas properties. Should the net capitalized costs for a cost center exceed the sum of the components noted above, an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent of the excess capitalized costs. Santa Maria Energy has not recorded any impairments for any of the periods discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and natural gas properties unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and natural gas properties and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil reserves of the cost center.

Depletion and amortization of oil and natural gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs proved undeveloped reserves and asset retirement obligations.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Quantities and Standardized Measure of Future Cash Flows

Santa Maria Energy’s independent petroleum engineering firm and internal technical staff prepare the estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and associated future net cash flows. Current accounting guidance

190

allows only proved oil and natural gas reserves to be included in Santa Maria Energy’s financial statement disclosures. The SEC has defined proved reserves as the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Santa Maria Energy’s independent petroleum engineering firm and internal technical staff must make a number of subjective assumptions based on their professional judgment in developing reserve estimates. Reserve estimates are updated semi-annually and consider recent production levels and other technical information about each field. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Periodic revisions to the estimated reserves and future cash flows may be necessary as a result of a number of factors, including reservoir performance, new drilling, oil and natural gas prices, cost changes, technological advances, new geological or geophysical data, or other economic factors. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Santa Maria Energy cannot predict the amounts or timing of future reserve revisions. If such revisions are significant, they could significantly affect future amortization of capitalized costs and result in impairment of assets that may be material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases. See “—Contractual Obligations” for more information concerning the commitments under Santa Maria Energy’s operating leases agreements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about Santa Maria Energy’s potential exposure to market risk. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in natural gas and oil prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how Santa Maria Energy views and manages its ongoing market risk exposures. All of Santa Maria Energy’s market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for hedging purposes, rather than for speculative trading.

Commodity Price Risk Management Activities

Santa Maria Energy’s primary market risk exposure is in the price it receives for its oil and natural gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by spot regional market prices for oil and natural gas. Pricing for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and Santa Maria Energy expects this volatility to continue in the future. The prices Santa Maria Energy receives for production depends on many factors outside of its control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at the point of sale and the applicable index price.

To mitigate some of the potential negative impact on cash flow caused by downward changes in oil and upward changes in natural gas prices, Santa Maria Energy uses financial instruments to manage its risk exposure to price volatility. The financial instruments currently in place consist of swaps which are Brent-denominated. Santa Maria Energy may utilize derivatives based on other indices or markets where appropriate and utilize other financial products such as puts and basis swaps in order to better reduce its basis risk. The contracts currently provide price stability for a portion of Santa Maria Energy’s sales forecasted to occur within the next four-year period. Santa Maria Energy’s policies prohibit the use of commodity derivatives for speculative purposes and permit utilization of derivatives only if there is an underlying physical position. Santa Maria Energy manages price risk on only a portion of its anticipated production, so the remaining portion of its production is subject to the full fluctuation of market pricing.

191

Santa Maria Energy has a hedging policy that authorizes hedges on a rolling basis, up to a maximum hedge at any time of 90% of the Orcutt Monterey proved developed producing reserves and up to 36 months. In conjunction with its senior credit facility, Santa Maria Energy extended the initial hedge period out to 48 months in November 2012. Santa Maria Energy has not entered into any additional hedges extending the period beyond its 36 month rolling hedge policy.

At December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy had in place oil swaps covering portions of its projected production through November 2016. Santa Maria Energy’s commodity hedge position as of December 31, 2013 is summarized in note 7 to Santa Maria Energy’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility allows it to hedge up to 85% of its estimated production from its Orcutt Monterey proved reserves. If Santa Maria Energy did not have the hedges in place, based on its annual production and its fixed price contracts, Santa Maria Energy’s income for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have decreased by approximately $0.07 million for each $1.00 decrease per Bbl in oil prices below the average price hedged of $103.65/Bbl.

All derivative instruments, other than those that meet the normal purchase and normal sales exception, are recorded at fair market value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are included in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities. Fair values are adjusted for non-performance risk. Because Santa Maria Energy cannot designate these hedges as accounting hedges, it does not receive accounting hedge treatment and all mark-to-market gains or losses as well as cash receipts or payments on settled derivative instruments are recognized in its results of operations as either “Realized loss on commodity derivatives” or “Unrealized gain on mark-to-market commodity derivatives.”

Mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments produce earnings volatility but have no cash flow impact relative to changes in market prices until the derivative contracts are settled. Santa Maria Energy expects continued volatility in the fair value of its derivative instruments. Santa Maria Energy’s cash flow is only impacted when the underlying physical sales transaction takes place in the future and the associated derivative instrument contract is settled by making or receiving a payment to or from a counterparty. At December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of Santa Maria Energy’s commodity derivative instruments was a net liability of $0.8 million, comprised of current and non-current liabilities. None of these commodity derivative instruments were entered into for trading or speculative purposes.

By removing price volatility from a portion of Santa Maria Energy’s expected oil production through November 2016, Santa Maria Energy has mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing prices on its operating cash flow for those periods. While mitigating negative effects of falling commodity prices, these derivative contracts also limit the benefits Santa Maria Energy would receive from increases in commodity prices.

As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy has hedged daily volumes of 118 Bbls of oil for 2014, 112 Bbls of oil for 2015 and 108 Bbls of oil for 2016 through November. For 2014, 2015 and 2016, the swaps have an average strike price of $99.00/Bbl, $95.20/Bbl and $92.75/Bbl, respectively. These swaps may limit Santa Maria Energy’s potential gains if oil prices rise above the specified price ceilings.

Interest Rate Risks

Santa Maria Energy’s primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under its senior credit facility, which has a floating interest rate. The average annual interest rate incurred on this indebtedness for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 3.8%. A 1.0% increase in each of the average LIBOR rate and federal funds rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have resulted in an estimated $0.2 million increase in interest expense for that period. Santa Maria Energy had no outstanding interest rate derivatives for hedging purposes at December 31, 2013.

192

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Santa Maria Energy’s principal exposures to credit risk are due to receivables resulting from commodity derivatives contracts ($0.0 million at December 31, 2013) and the sale of its oil and natural gas production ($1.1 million at December 31, 2013).

By using derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange to hedge exposures to changes in commodity prices, Santa Maria Energy exposes itself to the credit risk of counterparties. Credit risk is the potential failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty is expected to pay Santa Maria Energy, which creates credit risk. To minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments, it is Santa Maria Energy’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market-makers. The creditworthiness of the counterparties is subject to periodic review. Santa Maria Energy has economic hedges in place with one counterparty. The fair value of Santa Maria Energy’s commodity derivative contracts was approximately $(0.8) million at December 31, 2013. Santa Maria Energy believes that its risk with its hedging counterparty currently is an acceptable credit risk. Other than as provided by the intercreditor agreement executed pursuant to Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility, Santa Maria Energy is not required to provide credit support or collateral to its counterparty under its contracts, nor is the counterparty required to provide credit support to Santa Maria Energy. As of December 31, 2013, Santa Maria Energy did not have any past-due receivables from or payables to any of its counterparties.

Santa Maria Energy is also subject to credit risk due to concentration of its oil receivables with a single customer. Santa Maria Energy does not require that customer to post collateral. The inability or failure of this significant customer to meet its obligations to Santa Maria Energy or the customer’s insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect Santa Maria Energy’s financial results.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT HYDE PARK

Introduction

Hyde Park was incorporated on February 24, 2011 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business. Prior to executing the Merger Agreement, Hyde Park’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Formation

In April 2011, in connection with its formation, Hyde Park issued an aggregate of 2,524,391 founders’ shares for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share to its sponsors. In July 2011, Hyde Park effected a stock dividend of approximately 0.139 shares for each outstanding share of common stock. In October 2011, Hyde Park’s sponsors contributed 718,750 founders’ shares to its capital at no cost, resulting in its sponsors owning an aggregate of 2,156,250 founders’ shares.

Initial Public Offering

On August 7, 2012, Hyde Park consummated its initial public offering of 7,500,000 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Hyde Park consummated the private placement of 693,750 shares of common stock to the sponsors at a price of $10.00 per share, generating proceeds of $6,937,500. Hyde Park paid a total of $1,687,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including up to $2,062,500 of deferred fees that will be payable if the merger is consummated) and $544,262 for other costs and expenses related to the initial public offering, resulting in net proceeds of $72,768,238.

On September 15, 2012, Hyde Park’s sponsors forfeited an aggregate of 281,250 founders’ shares upon the underwriters’ election not to exercise the over-allotment option granted in connection with the initial public offering, resulting in the sponsors owning an aggregate of 1,875,000 founders’ shares, in addition to the 693,750 shares of common stock acquired by Hyde Park’s sponsors in the private placement consummated simultaneously with Hyde Park’s initial public offering, for a total of 2,568,750 shares of common stock.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

The net proceeds from the initial public offering, $71,812,500, plus the $6,937,500 Hyde Park received from the private placement, for an aggregate of $78,750,000, were placed in a trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except as described in the prospectus for Hyde Park’s initial public offering and in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Hyde Park,” these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination and the redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon Hyde Park’s failure to consummate a business combination by May 1, 2014.

NASDAQ Listing

Commencing immediately after its initial public offering, Hyde Park’s common stock began trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “HPAC.” Hyde Park anticipates that, if the merger is consummated, Hyde Park will seek to delist its securities from NASDAQ.

Stockholder Approval of Merger

Under Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with any proposed business combination, Hyde Park may either (i) seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a

194

meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed merger, or (ii) provide Hyde Park’s stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to Hyde Park by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote), in each case subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for Hyde Park’s initial public offering. Hyde Park’s board of directors has determined to seek stockholder approval of the merger at the special meeting as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, in connection with the merger, stockholders may seek to convert their shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and Hyde Park will not provide stockholders the opportunity to sell their shares to it by means of a tender offer.

In connection with any vote for a proposed merger, Hyde Park may consummate a merger only if (1) the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting vote in favor of the merger and (2) Hyde Park has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation. In addition, the DGCL requires the Hyde Park merger to be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park common stock.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, including the vote with respect to the merger proposal, all of Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, have agreed to vote their sponsors’ shares and any IPO shares that they have acquired or will acquire, in favor of such proposed merger.

None of Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, or their affiliates has purchased any shares of common stock in the open market or in private transactions. However, at any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Hyde Park or its securities, the Hyde Park sponsors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase additional shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Hyde Park’s common stock or to not demand conversion rights. The funds for any such purchases will either come from cash available to such purchasing parties or from third-party financing, none of which has been sought at this time. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares owned by the Hyde Park sponsors for nominal value. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting vote in favor of the merger proposal and that Hyde Park will satisfy the requirement under the Merger Agreement that it have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders upon the consummation of the merger, where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. All shares purchased by the Hyde Park sponsors and/or their respective affiliates pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the proposed merger. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions, and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

Conversion Rights in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

Each public stockholder has the right, regardless of whether such stockholder is voting for or against such proposed merger, to demand that Hyde Park convert such stockholder shares into cash equal to the pro rata share of the trust account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of common stock sold in the initial public offering without Hyde Park’s prior written consent.

195

Hyde Park’s sponsors, including its officers and directors, have agreed not to convert any sponsors’ shares or IPO shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or sell any shares to Hyde Park pursuant to any tender offer described above. See the section entitled “—Stockholder Approval of Merger.”

Liquidation if No Merger

Under Hyde Park’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if Hyde Park does not complete the merger or another initial business combination by May 1, 2014, Hyde Park will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount described below, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Hyde Park’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The sponsors will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their sponsors’ shares.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Hyde Park’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of its public stockholders. Hyde Park’s officers have agreed that they will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Hyde Park for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Hyde Park, but they may not be able to satisfy their indemnification obligations if they are required to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, they will have no personal liability under this indemnity (i) as to any claimed amounts owed to a target business or vendor or other entity who has executed a valid and enforceable agreement with Hyde Park waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, or (ii) as to any claims under the indemnity with the underwriters of Hyde Park’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Although Hyde Park has obtained waiver agreements from vendors and service providers it has engaged, including Santa Maria Energy in connection with the merger, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, and although Hyde Park will seek such waivers from vendors it engages in the future, there is no guarantee that Santa Maria Energy or other vendors who have or will have executed such waivers or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account. There is also no guarantee that Santa Maria Energy or other third parties would not challenge the enforceability of these waivers and bring claims against the trust account for monies owed them.

If Hyde Park is unable to conclude its initial business combination and it expends all of the net proceeds of its initial public offering that were not deposited in the trust account, without taking into account any interest earned on and taxes and other expenses payable with respect to the trust account, Hyde Park expects that the initial per-share redemption price will be approximately $10.50. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to claims of Hyde Park’s creditors, as described above in this section, that are in preference to the claims of Hyde Park’s stockholders. In addition, if Hyde Park is forced to file for bankruptcy, or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Hyde Park that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Hyde Park’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may be less than $10.50.

Hyde Park’s public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of its failure to complete a business combination within the required time periods or if the stockholders seek to have Hyde Park convert their respective shares for cash upon a business combination which is actually completed by Hyde Park. In no other circumstances does a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

196

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The portion of Hyde Park’s trust account distributed to its public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its outstanding public shares in the event Hyde Park does not complete its initial business combination by May 1, 2014 may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the portion of Hyde Park’s trust account distributed to its public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its public shares in the event Hyde Park does not complete its initial business combination by May 1, 2014 is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution. If Hyde Park is unable to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frame, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Hyde Park’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, if a business combination does not occur, it is Hyde Park’s intention to redeem its public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the expiration of the time periods described above and, therefore, Hyde Park does not intend to comply with the procedures required by Section 280 of the DGCL, which would limit the amount and duration of Hyde Park’s stockholders’ liability with respect to liquidating distributions as described above. As such, Hyde Park’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Hyde Park’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because Hyde Park will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Hyde Park to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent ten years. However, because Hyde Park is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and Hyde Park’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise prior to the consummation of the merger would be from its vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

Hyde Park will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, Hyde Park’s officers have agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and has agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Facilities

Hyde Park maintains its executive offices at 500 Fifth Avenue, 50^th Floor, New York, New York 10110. The cost for this space is included in a $10,000 per-month fee ProChannel Management, LLC, an affiliate of Laurence S. Levy, Hyde Park’s Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, charges Hyde Park for general and administrative services pursuant to a letter agreement between Hyde Park and ProChannel

197

Management, LLC. Hyde Park’s management believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New York City metropolitan area that the fee charged by ProChannel Management, LLC is at least as favorable as Hyde Park could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. Hyde Park considers its current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to its executive officers, adequate for its current operations. Hyde Park anticipates maintaining use of such office space and services after the consummation of the merger, with the terms of such arrangement being reconsidered from time to time.

Employees

Hyde Park presently has two executive officers. These individuals are not currently obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Hyde Park’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as each of them deems necessary to Hyde Park’s affairs. Hyde Park does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

199

executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions). Hyde Park will provide, without charge, upon request, copies of the code of ethics. Requests for copies of Hyde Park’s code of ethics should be sent in writing to Hyde Park Acquisition Corp.

Hyde Park Board of Directors and Committees

Hyde Park’s board of directors is divided into two classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a two-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Edward Levy and Jason Grant, will expire at Hyde Park’s first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Laurence S. Levy, Mark Dalton and Richard Klapow, will expire at Hyde Park’s second annual meeting.

Audit Committee

Effective August 2012, Hyde Park established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Mark Dalton, Richard Klapow and Jason Grant, each of whom is an independent director. The Hyde Park audit committee’s duties, which are specified in its audit committee charter, include, but are not limited to:

• reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in Hyde Park’s Form 10-K;

• discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of Hyde Park’s financial statements;

• discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

• monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

• verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

• reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

• inquiring and discussing with management Hyde Park’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by Hyde Park’s independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

• appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

• determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by Hyde Park regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding Hyde Park’s financial statements or accounting policies; and

• approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by Hyde Park’s management team in identifying potential target businesses.

The Hyde Park audit committee has been and will be at all times composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the NASDAQ listing standards. The NASDAQ listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

200

In addition, Hyde Park must certify to NASDAQ that the Hyde Park audit committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. Hyde Park’s board of directors has determined that Jason Grant qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Upon consummation of the merger, Hyde Park will no longer have an audit committee.

Nominating Committee

Effective August 2012, Hyde Park established a nominating committee of the board of directors, which consists of Mark Dalton, Richard Klapow and Jason Grant, each of whom is an independent director. The Hyde Park nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Hyde Park’s board of directors. The Hyde Park nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in Hyde Park’s nominating committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

• should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

• should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

• should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of Hyde Park’s stockholders.

The Hyde Park nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background, integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The Hyde Park nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The Hyde Park nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which securityholders may recommend nominees to Hyde Park’s board of directors.

Upon consummation of the merger, Hyde Park will no longer have an nominating committee.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Hyde Park. Commencing on August 1, 2012 through the acquisition of a target business, Hyde Park has been paying and will pay ProChannel Management LLC, an affiliate of Laurence S. Levy, a fee of $10,000 per month for providing Hyde Park with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement is solely for Hyde Park’s benefit and is not intended to provide Laurence S. Levy compensation in lieu of a salary. Other than the $10,000 per month administrative fee, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s, consulting fees and other similar fees, will be paid to Hyde Park’s sponsors, member of its management team or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive

201

reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on Hyde Park’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by Hyde Park.

Since Hyde Park’s formation, it has not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights or any other awards under long-term incentive plans to any of its executive officers or directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Hyde Park does not presently have a compensation committee of its board of directors. Hyde Park does not feel a compensation committee is necessary prior to consummation of the merger as there will be no salary, fees or other compensation being paid to its officers or directors prior to the merger other than as disclosed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation Committee Report

Hyde Park’s board of directors does not maintain a standing compensation committee since it does not compensate its officers or directors.

Hyde Park’s board of directors and management have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K. Based on that review and discussion, the Hyde Park’s board of directors has recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Respectfully submitted,

Laurence S. Levy

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HYDE PARK

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Hyde Park included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon its current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Hyde Park is a Delaware blank check company incorporated on February 24, 2011 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Hyde Park’s efforts to identify a prospective target business have not been limited to a particular industry or geographic region. On November 27, 2013, Hyde Park entered into the Merger Agreement.

Hyde Park presently has no revenue and has had losses since inception from incurring formation costs. Hyde Park has no other operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination. Costs incurred since inception have consisted primarily of legal and professional fees associated with preparing the registration statement for the its initial public offering and thereupon becoming a public company registrant, Hyde Park’s efforts to locate a suitable target business combination candidate, performing due diligence on such candidates and negotiating and structuring a business combination with a suitable candidate. Hyde Park has relied upon the sale of its securities and loans from its officers and directors to fund its operations.

The registration statement for Hyde Park’s initial public offering was declared effective on August 1, 2012. Hyde Park consummated its initial public offering on August 7, 2012 and received proceeds net of underwriters discount of $72,768,238 and simultaneously raised $6,937,500 through the issuance of shares of common stock to its initial stockholders in a private placement. Hyde Park’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its initial public offering and sponsors’ shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Upon the closing of its initial public offering, $78,750,000 ($10.50 per IPO share), including the proceeds from the shares privately placed in connection therewith, was placed in a trust account and was invested in United States government treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

203

Shares subject to possible redemption. Hyde Park accounts for its shares subject to possible redemption or tender in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Hyde Park’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Hyde Park’s shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by management to be outside of Hyde Park’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of Hyde Park’s balance sheet.

Status as Emerging Growth Company

Hyde Park is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. As an emerging growth company, Hyde Park has elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As such, Hyde Park’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Results of Operations

Since the closing of Hyde Park’s initial public offering, its activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates and negotiating, structuring and pursuing the consummation of a business combination, and Hyde Park will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of a business combination with Santa Maria Energy or another target business. Hyde Park expects to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities).

Hyde Park incurred a net loss of $1,986,009 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Hyde Park incurred a net loss of $2,175,728 for the period from February 24, 2011 (inception) until December 31, 2013. Hyde Park’s net loss was composed of legal and professional fees of $1,775,982, which were principally due to legal expenses of approximately $1,451,000 and accounting and auditing expenses of approximately $142,000; office expenses paid to a related party of $170,000; and general and administrative expenses of $336,074, which is primarily made up of Delaware Franchise Taxes of approximately $204,000 and NASDAQ listing fees of approximately $42,000.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The net proceeds from Hyde Park’s initial public offering and the private placement of shares in connection therewith, after deducting offering expenses of $544,262 and underwriting discounts of $1,687,500, were

204

$79,705,738. Of this amount, $78,750,000 was placed in the trust account. The remaining $955,738 of net proceeds not in the trust has been and will continue to be used for working capital purposes.

Hyde Park intends to use the net proceeds of its initial public offering and the private placement of shares in connection therewith, including the funds held in the trust account, to acquire a target business and to pay its expenses relating thereto, including $2,062,500, representing 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering, in deferred underwriting commissions that may be released to the underwriters of Hyde Park’s initial public offering only upon completion of a business combination. To the extent that Hyde Park’s capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways, including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees that Hyde Park had incurred prior to the completion of a business combination if the funds available to Hyde Park outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

Generally, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released to Hyde Park until the earlier of Hyde Park’s completion of an initial business combination and Hyde Park’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon Hyde Park’s failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be released to Hyde Park from the trust account (1) any interest earned on the funds in the trust account that Hyde Park needs to pay its income or other tax obligations and (2) any remaining interest earned on the funds in the trust account that Hyde Park needs for Hyde Park’s working capital requirements.

As of December 31, 2013, Hyde Park had $387,115 in its operating bank accounts and $78,750,898 in restricted cash and cash equivalents held in trust to be used for an initial business combination or to repurchase or convert its common shares. Through December 31, 2013, Hyde Park has withdrawn interest income of $103,309 from the trust account for working capital and tax obligations. As of December 31, 2013, $899 of the amount on deposit in the trust account represents interest income which was available to be withdrawn by Hyde Park as described above. As of December 31, 2013, U.S. Treasury Bills with one month, three month, and six month maturities were yielding approximately 0.01%, 0.07% and 0.10%, respectively. While Hyde Park may invest in other securities, Hyde Park believes such rates are representative of those Hyde Park may receive on the balance of the trust account.

Hyde Park believes that the funds not held in its trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance (net of income and other tax obligations) that may be released to Hyde Park to fund its working capital requirements (which is anticipated to be approximately $51,000), will be sufficient to allow Hyde Park to operate until May 1, 2014, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Over this time period, Hyde Park will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. Hyde Park anticipates that it will incur approximately:

• $100,000 of expenses for the legal, accounting and other third-party expenses attendant to the due diligence review, structuring, negotiating, fund raising, and closing of its initial business combination;

• $100,000 of expenses for the due diligence review as well as the structuring, negotiating, fund raising, and closing of its initial business combination by Hyde park’s officers, directors and sponsors;

• $35,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to Hyde Park’s SEC reporting obligations;

• $40,000 for the payment of the administrative fee to ProChannel Management LLC (of $10,000 per month for up to four months); and

205

• $200,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses, liquidation obligations and reserves, including director and officer liability insurance premiums, printing costs and shareholder proxy solicitation expenses.

If Hyde Park’s estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating its initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to Hyde Park from its trust account is less than it expects as a result of the current interest rate environment, Hyde Park may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its initial business combination. Moreover, Hyde Park may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate Hyde Park’s initial business combination or because Hyde Park becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public shares upon consummation of Hyde Park’s initial business combination, in which case Hyde Park may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Hyde Park would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of its initial business combination. In the current economic environment, it has become especially difficult to obtain acquisition financing.

Following Hyde Park’s initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, Hyde Park may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. There can be no assurance that Hyde Park can issue additional securities or incur debt on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Hyde Park does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business until Hyde Park consummates its initial business combination. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, Hyde Park’s sponsors, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan Hyde Park funds as may be required. If Hyde Park consummates its initial business combination, Hyde Park would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, Hyde Park may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from Hyde Park’s trust account would be used for such repayment. Such loans may be convertible into shares of common stock of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. Hyde Park believes the $10.00 purchase price of these shares will approximate the fair value of such shares when issued. However, if it is determined, at the time of issuance, that the fair value of such shares exceeds the $10.00 purchase price, Hyde Park would record compensation expense for the excess of the fair value of the shares on the day of issuance over the $10.00 purchase price in accordance with ASC 718—Compensation—Stock Compensation.

Commencing on August 1, 2012 and ending upon the consummation of a business combination or Hyde Park’s liquidation, Hyde Park began incurring a fee payable to ProChannel Management, LLC, an entity affiliated with Laurence Levy, of $10,000 per month for providing Hyde Park with office space and certain general and administrative services. In addition, prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering, Laurence S. Levy and Edward Levy loaned an aggregate of $100,000 to Hyde Park, on a non-interest bearing basis, for payment of offering expenses on Hyde Park’s behalf. The loans were payable without interest on the earlier of (i) April 27, 2013, (ii) the date on which Hyde Park’s initial public offering was consummated or (iii) the date on which Hyde Park determined to not proceed with its initial public offering. Hyde Park repaid these loans from the proceeds of its initial public offering that were not placed in the trust account.

On September 25, 2012, Hyde Park engaged a law firm to assist it with legal matters in identifying, negotiating, and consummating a business combination as well as assisting with other legal matters. In connection with the engagement, Hyde Park initially paid the law firm $100,000. Fees in excess of $100,000 are accrued as a liability as incurred, but will not be paid until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) upon Hyde Park’s liquidation. Pursuant to Hyde Park’s agreement with the law firm, upon event (i), Hyde Park’s obligation to the law firm will be increased by 15% and Hyde Park intends to pay such amount in full. Upon event (ii), the law firm has agreed to accept as payment in full only the amount of cash that Hyde Park has available after payments have been made to all of Hyde Park’s other creditors.

206

On June 1, 2013, Hyde Park engaged a consultant to assist it with its evaluation of potential business combination candidates. This consultant will be paid $5,000 per month. Upon the consummation of a business combination, Hyde Park would be required to pay the consultant an additional $10,000 per month, for each month of service provided, representing a total of $70,000 as of December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Hyde Park did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2013.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual Obligation	Less than 1 Year
Fee payable to ProChannel Management, LLC for office space and general and administrative services	$	40,000
TOTAL	$	40,000

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The net proceeds of Hyde Park’s initial public offering and private placement, including amounts in the trust account, have been and will continue to be invested in United States Treasury Bills having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, Hyde Park believes there is no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

DESCRIPTION OF SANTA MARIA ENERGY CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK

AND OTHER SECURITIES

Gene ral

As a condition to the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 4,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 200 shares of common stock are outstanding, held by two stockholders of record. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. The following description summarizes all of the material terms of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s securities under Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that will take effect upon the consummation of the merger. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. For a complete description you should refer to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are attached as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law. We refer to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of Santa Maria Energy Corporation that will be in effect upon the consummation of the merger collectively as the “amended and restated organizational documents.”

Common Stock

Under the amended and restated organizational documents, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders of record will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of directors can elect all of the directors subject to election. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders will have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the shares of common stock.

Preferred Stock

There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors. Accordingly, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors is empowered, with approval from the current preferred stockholders, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Although Santa Maria Energy Corporation does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock except in connection with the merger, as described below, it reserves the right to do so in the future.

In connection with the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will issue $50.0 million (the “Stated Amount”) of shares of redeemable preferred stock to the Kayne Investors in exchange for their preferred units of Santa Maria Energy. These shares will be subject to a mandatory dividend of 8.0% per annum paid quarterly in cash or additional shares of redeemable preferred stock, at the option of Santa Maria Energy Corporation.

The shares of redeemable preferred stock shall be redeemed upon (i) the fourth anniversary of the closing of the merger or (ii) upon a change of control, whichever occurs first. Santa Maria Energy Corporation also has the

208

option to redeem all, but not less than all, of the shares of redeemable preferred stock at any time following the closing of the merger at 100% of the Stated Amount plus any accrued dividends, subject to certain limitations. If Santa Maria Energy Corporation fails to redeem the preferred shares when required or files for bankruptcy and this default continues for 180 days, the Kayne Investors will have the option to convert the preferred shares into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Stated Amount divided by 80% of the average daily closing price for the common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the conversion. If Santa Maria Energy Corporation fails to redeem the preferred shares when required or files for bankruptcy, and until the Kayne Investors choose to exercise their option to convert the shares, the redeemable preferred stock will be subject to an increased mandatory dividend of 12% per annum, which rate shall increase annually by 100 basis points on each anniversary of the occurrence of such default; provided, that the Kayne Dividend Rate (as defined in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation) shall not exceed 15% per annum.

While the redeemable preferred stock is outstanding, the Kayne Investors will have the right to appoint two members of the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and the Kayne Investors will have certain approval rights with respect to the business and management of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. The redeemable preferred stock will be subject to affirmative and negative covenants which are customary to protect purchasers of preferred stock in an oil and natural gas producing corporation. Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy unitholders are directed to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Santa Maria Energy Corporation attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Dividends

Santa Maria Energy Corporation has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock prior to the consummation of the merger. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be contingent upon Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s consolidated revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to consummation of the merger. The payment of any dividends subsequent to the merger will be within the discretion of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors. Santa Maria Energy Corporation will pay mandatory dividends on its redeemable preferred stock as specified above. So long as the Kayne Investors hold shares of redeemable preferred stock, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will not be permitted to pay or declare any dividend on any other class or series of its capital stock.

Transfer Restrictions

Commencing on the closing date of the merger, the holders of Hyde Park IPO shares and Santa Maria Energy common units shall be prohibited from selling any of their shares for one year after the closing, except for the holders of the Hyde Park sponsor shares who shall be restricted from selling their shares for 30 days after the closing date.

However, if the Santa Maria Energy Corporation share price reaches or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the period that a sale of the shares is prohibited, half of each holder’s shares will be released from the restrictions and, if the Santa Maria Energy Corporation share price reaches or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the period that a sale of the shares is prohibited, the remaining half of each holder’s shares will be released from the restrictions. Santa Maria Energy Corporation may also choose to waive the restrictions by resolution.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s shares is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004.

209

Listing of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Shares

Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to apply to list the shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received by Hyde Park stockholders and Santa Maria Energy common unitholders in the merger on NASDAQ under the symbol “SMEC.” Santa Maria Energy Corporation does not intend to list the redeemable preferred stock.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Staggered board of directors

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides that its board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.

Special meeting of stockholders

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws provide that special meetings of its stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of its board of directors, by its president or by its chairman or by its secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority of its issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote.

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before its annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at its annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be delivered to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 60th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the scheduled date of the annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is given, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders is first made or sent by Santa Maria Energy Corporation. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders from bringing matters before Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but unissued shares

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s authorized but unissued common stock is available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Santa Maria Energy Corporation by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Forum Selection

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by its stockholders, which would limit its stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with Santa

210

Maria Energy Corporation or its directors, officers or other employees. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock is deemed to have received notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. Although Santa Maria Energy Corporation believes this choice of forum provision provides benefits by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against Santa Maria Energy Corporation and its directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation or similar governing documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that in connection with any action a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. If a court were to find this choice of forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, Santa Maria Energy Corporation may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

211

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Hyde Park

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Hyde Park common stock as of the record date by:

• each person known by Hyde Park to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Hyde Park’s outstanding shares of common stock either on the record date or after the consummation of the merger;

• each of Hyde Park’s current executive officers and directors; and

• all of Hyde Park’s current executive officers and directors as a group.

Prior to the special meeting, the Hyde Park sponsors and/or their affiliates may engage in public or private market purchases of Hyde Park securities. The ownership percentages listed below do not include any such shares that may be purchased after the record date.

Additionally, at any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Hyde Park or its securities, Hyde Park sponsors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Hyde Park’s common stock or to not demand conversion rights. The funds for any such purchases will either come from cash available from such purchasing parties or from third-party financing, none of which has been sought at this time. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer of shares owned by the Hyde Park sponsors for nominal value. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the IPO shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting vote in favor of the merger proposal and to meet the requirement under the Merger Agreement that Hyde Park shall have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Hyde Park common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting. If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it more likely that Hyde Park would satisfy the condition to Santa Maria Energy’s obligation to consummate the merger that Hyde Park have at least $40 million of cash in its trust account after giving effect to the exercise of conversion rights by Hyde Park stockholders. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Hyde Park will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or additional significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

212

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares may not sell or transfer their securities except (1) amongst themselves, to Hyde Park’s officers, directors and employees, to a holder’s affiliates or its members upon its liquidation, (2) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (3) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (4) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (5) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of Hyde Park’s securities or (6) by private sales made at or prior to the consummation of its initial business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased, in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement, but will retain all other rights as Hyde Park’s stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If Hyde Park is unable to effect a business combination and liquidate, there will be no liquidation distribution with respect to the founders’ shares.

Hyde Park’s sponsors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the sponsors’ shares, purchased in the private placement that took place simultaneously with its initial public offering, until 30 days after the consummation of its initial business combination.

In order to meet Hyde Park’s working capital needs, Hyde Park’s sponsors, including Hyde Park’s officers and directors, may, but are not obligated to, loan it funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of its initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, the notes may be converted into shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. If Hyde Park does not complete a business combination, the loans will be forgiven.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Certain Hyde Park Transactions

In August 2012, Hyde Park’s sponsors purchased, pursuant to a written subscription agreement, an aggregate of 693,750 sponsors’ shares (for a total purchase price of $6,937,500) from Hyde Park. These purchases took place in a private placement simultaneously with the consummation of Hyde Park’s IPO. The sponsors’ shares are identical to the shares sold in its initial public offering. Hyde Park’s sponsors agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the sponsors’ shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the consummation of Hyde Park’s initial business combination.

In September 2012, Hyde Park’s sponsors forfeited an aggregate of 281,250 founders’ shares as a result of the underwriters of Hyde Park’s initial public offering not exercising their over-allotment option. Such shares were immediately cancelled, and Hyde Park recorded a reduction to common stock for the par value of such shares, or approximately $28, and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

The following table sets forth the names of Hyde Park’s sponsors and the number of shares owned by each such sponsor following the sponsor share purchases and founder share forfeitures noted above:

Name	Number of Shares

In order to meet Hyde Park’s working capital needs, Hyde Park’s sponsors, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Hyde Park funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of its initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, the notes may be converted into shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. If Hyde Park does not complete a business combination, the loans will be forgiven.

218

The holders of the sponsors’ shares and any shares Hyde Park’s sponsors, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to Hyde Park are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 1, 2012. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that Hyde Park register such securities. The holders of the majority of the founders’ shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the sponsors’ shares or shares issued in payment of working capital loans made to Hyde Park can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Hyde Park consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to Hyde Park’s consummation of its initial business combination. Hyde Park will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The Merger Agreement provides that Santa Maria Energy Corporation will enter into a registration rights agreement with certain investors, including Laurence S. Levy and Edward Levy. For additional information regarding the proposed terms of the registration rights agreement, see “Merger Agreement—Registration Rights”

Prior to Hyde Park’s initial public offering, Laurence S. Levy and Edward Levy had loaned to Hyde Park an aggregate of $100,000 to cover expenses related to Hyde Park’s initial public offering. The loans were payable without interest on the earlier of (i) April 27, 2013, (ii) the date on which Hyde Park consummated its initial public offering or (iii) the date on which Hyde Park determines not to proceed with the initial public offering. Hyde Park repaid these loans from the proceeds of its initial public offering that were not placed in the trust account.

Commencing on August 1, 2012 through the earlier of Hyde Park’s consummation of an initial business combination or liquidation, ProChannel Management LLC, an affiliate of Laurence S. Levy, has agreed to make available to Hyde Park certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support, as Hyde Park may require from time to time. Hyde Park has agreed to pay ProChannel Management LLC a fee of $10,000 per month for these services. Laurence S. Levy is the owner of the membership interests of ProChannel Management LLC. Accordingly, Laurence S. Levy will benefit from the arrangement to the extent of his interest in ProChannel Management LLC. However, this arrangement is solely for Hyde Park’s benefit and is not intended to provide Laurence S. Levy compensation in lieu of a salary. Hyde Park believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New York City metropolitan area, that the fee charged by ProChannel Management LLC is at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated person.

Other than the fees described above, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, have been, or will be, paid to any of Hyde Park’s sponsors, officers, directors or their respective affiliates for services rendered to Hyde Park prior to, or in connection with, the consummation of Hyde Park’s initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on Hyde Park’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by Hyde Park.

All ongoing and future transactions between Hyde Park and any of its officers and directors or their respective affiliates are and will be on terms believed by Hyde Park to be no less favorable to it than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions require prior approval by Hyde Park’s audit committee and a majority of Hyde Park’s disinterested independent directors, in either case who had access, at its expense, to its attorneys or independent legal counsel. Hyde Park will not enter into any such transaction unless its audit committee and a majority of its disinterested independent directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to it than those that would be available to it with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

219

Hyde Park Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Hyde Park directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of Hyde Park common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to Hyde Park, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Hyde Park believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December  31, 2012.

Certain Santa Maria Energy Transactions

Sector Note

In 2010, Santa Maria Energy assumed a limited recourse debt obligation of CILLC in the aggregate principal amount of $1.8 million (the “Sector Note”) payable to Sector Capital Corporation (“Sector”). The President of Sector, William Dell’Orfano, serves on the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy. The debt obligation was secured by a lien on the working interests contributed by CILLC, which included a 21.7% working interest in NW Casmalia field and 2.7% working interest in each of Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Monterey field. The terms of the transaction with CILLC provided that CILLC (through its members) was to remain primarily liable for the Sector Note.

In March 2011, Santa Maria Energy, after receiving payments totaling approximately $1.8 million from CILLC members pursuant to a special capital call, reduced the outstanding loan to Sector to $0.3 million and Sector released approximately 17.4% of the working interest in the NW Casmalia field and 2.2% of working interest in the Orcutt fields from lien. Santa Maria Energy also agreed with Sector to extend the maturity of the loan for the remaining balance to December 21, 2011. Subsequently, in December 2011, Santa Maria Energy issued a second capital call for the payoff of the remaining amount under the loan. After receiving payments from two members, Santa Maria Energy paid down approximately $0.1 million in additional principal and received a release of approximately 4.0% of the working interests securing the loan. The maturity date for the remaining balance was extended to December 21, 2012.

In November 2012, Santa Maria Energy was notified by Sector that as a result of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit it had determined that the amount of interest outstanding was understated pursuant to an error in payoff demand statement delivered to Santa Maria Energy in April 2011. As a result, Sector is claiming additional interest of $48,590. Santa Maria Energy notified Sector that it rejects any responsibility for this amount.

Santa Maria Energy opted to not pay the outstanding balance of this note on behalf of the non-paying CILLC members at December 31, 2012. Subsequently, Sector declared the unpaid loan in default in January 2013.

In November 2013, the Kayne Investors paid the remaining balance due on the Sector Note on behalf of the non-paying former members of CILLC. In exchange for making such payment, the Kayne Investors received 196,263 common units (0.38% of outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units) that were forfeited by the non-paying members of CILLC in accordance with an agreed upon formula.

Office Space Lease

On May 18, 2011, Santa Maria Energy entered into a five-year office space lease agreement with The Pope Group, LLC (“Pope Group”), a related party. Three of the members of the Pope Group are affiliates of members of the Santa Maria Energy board of managers: David Pratt, William Dell’Orfano and Ramon Elias. Only David Pratt will continue as a director of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. In connection with the lease, Santa Maria Energy paid $100,000 for the option to purchase the property during the option period of June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2017. The option is recorded in prepaid and other current assets. Total office space lease payments to the Pope Group were $278,400 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

220

Santa Maria Energy amended this lease in July 2012 to provide relief on rent payments. Santa Maria Energy maintained its monthly lease payments of $21,600 for the twelve month period beginning June 1, 2012. In exchange, Santa Maria Energy agreed to a lump sum payment of $98,700 in 2016. Santa Maria Energy also leased office space in Santa Maria, California under a non-cancelable agreement that expired on June 30, 2012.

In June 2013, Santa Maria Energy and Pope Group entered into a second amendment to this lease. Pope Group agreed to reduce the base rent to $24,000/month (from $36,000/month) for the period of June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. In exchange, Santa Maria Energy agreed to extend the term of the lease by two years and agreed to a proportional increase in the payment due upon the Santa Maria Energy’s exercise of its option to purchase.

Rent expense amounted to $467,200, $477,245 and $357,013 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Certain Diatomite Leases

Certain of the leases held by Santa Maria Energy in the NW Casmalia Diatomite leasehold are owned by certain Founder and manager affiliates (Richard Powell, Jr., Taratrey Investments, LLC; Michael Prats, Prats Resources, L.P.; and Ramon Elias, Odalmira A. Elias Family LLC), including the Stokes Leases (covering approximately 503 acres) and the Goodwin Leases (covering approximately 547 acres).

Rent expense amounted to $10,947, $77,582 and $47,366 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Transactions with Kayne Investors

Preferred Units. As of December 31, 2012, the Kayne Investors had invested $50 million and, as of December 31, 2013, own 50,000 preferred units and approximately 30% of the common units of Santa Maria Energy. Under the terms of the Santa Maria Energy organizational documents, the Kayne Investors may designate two members of the board of managers and they have appointed David Iverson and Charles Yates III as their representatives.

In May 2011, Santa Maria Energy entered into a letter agreement with Kayne Investors whereby Santa Maria Energy agreed to draw $15 million of the preferred units immediately in exchange for a revised conversion factor for common units. The Kayne Investors received new common units representing approximately 4.1% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units for this investment. Under the old conversion factor, the Kayne Investors would have received slightly above 11% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy common units.

As holders of the preferred units of Santa Maria Energy, the Kayne Investors earn a preferred return (“Preferred Return”) equal to the aggregate interest (8% per annum), accruing daily and compounding quarterly from date of initial investment, on the Preferred Undistributed Capital, which is defined as the sum of the aggregate capital contributions plus any Preferred Return that has not been distributed to the Kayne Investors.

After December 16, 2010 and until December 16, 2016, Santa Maria Energy possesses an exclusive, one-time option to redeem in cash all the outstanding preferred units at a redemption price equal to the Preferred Undistributed Capital (as defined in Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement). If Santa Maria Energy elects to exercise its redemption rights during this period, the Kayne Investors shall retain their common units. Additionally, the Kayne Investors have the option exercisable at any time after the first anniversary of the full redemption of the preferred units to require Santa Maria Energy to purchase its common units for a cash price equal to eighty percent (80%) of fair value as determined in accordance with the terms of Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement. Upon December 16, 2016, the Kayne Investors will have an option to redeem the preferred units for a cash redemption price equal to the Preferred Undistributed Capital. The cash redemption price is payable within 60 days of written notice of redemption by the Kayne Investors. For any redemption after December 16, 2016, the Kayne Investors will retain their common units without an option to require Santa Maria Energy to purchase their common units.

221

In conjunction with the changes to be made to Santa Maria Energy’s senior credit facility, the Kayne Investors agreed to move the date of redemption of the Santa Maria Energy preferred units from December 2014 to March 2015. This modification was reflected in an amendment to Santa Maria Energy’s limited liability company agreement in November 2013.

In connection with the merger, the Kayne Investors will exchange their Santa Maria Energy preferred units for preferred stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation. The Kayne Investors will also receive 1,599,695 shares Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in lieu of accrued dividends on their preferred units.

Kayne Guaranty. On November 9, 2012, Santa Maria Energy entered into an amended and restated $50,000,000 senior credit facility with Mutual of Omaha, its senior lender. The senior credit facility provides an available loan amount to Santa Maria Energy of $20.0 million, subject to periodic redeterminations. The original available amount was supported by a borrowing base of $9.0 million (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey and Diatomite reserves) and an $11 million guaranty from the Kayne Investors (the “Kayne Guaranty”). In exchange for posting of the Kayne Guaranty, Santa Maria Energy agreed to the following terms with the Kayne Investors: (1) payment of a $1.5 million fee (the “Kayne Guaranty Fee”); and (2) if the Kayne Guaranty is called by the senior lender, (i) the Kayne Investors shall have the right to elect a majority to Santa Maria Energy’s board of managers and (ii) Santa Maria Energy shall execute a note payable to the Kayne Investors for the amount paid pursuant to the Kayne Guaranty, which will accrue interest at 12% per annum. Mutual of Omaha has the right to call upon the Kayne Guaranty on the earliest of (i) maturity or acceleration of the facility, (ii) violation of certain debt covenants, and (iii) December 31, 2013. In June 2013, the Kayne Guaranty was reduced to $10.0 million due to an increase in the borrowing base reserves.

On December 11, 2013, Santa Maria Energy entered into a second amendment to its senior credit facility whereby (i) the borrowing base of the senior credit facility was increased to $13.0 million (based on Santa Maria Energy’s Monterey and Diatomite reserves) and (ii) full credit was given for the original $11.0 million Kayne Guaranty. This increased the amount available under the senior credit facility to $24.0 million. Also, the senior lender’s right to call upon the Kayne Guaranty was extended from December 31, 2013 to May 31, 2014.

The Kayne Investors have agreed to accept 142,850 shares Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in lieu of Kayne Guaranty Fee.

Kayne Investors Voting and Support Agreement

As a condition for Hyde Park to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Kayne Investors entered into a voting and support agreement whereby the Kayne Investors agreed to vote their Santa Maria Energy common and preferred units in favor of the merger and any other proposal necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Kayne Investors also agreed to vote against any action or agreement that would materially impede the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Santa Maria Energy Corpo ration Related Party Transaction Policy

The board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will adopt a related party transactions policy in connection with the consummation of the merger that will provide that the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its authorized committee will periodically review all related party transactions that are required to be disclosed under SEC rules and, when appropriate, initially authorize or ratify all such transactions. In the event that the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its authorized committee considers ratification of a related party transaction and determines not to so ratify, the code of business conduct and ethics will provide that Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction.

222

The related party transactions policy will provide that, in determining whether or not to recommend the initial approval or ratification of a related party transaction, the board of directors of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its authorized committee should consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: (i) whether there is an appropriate business justification for the transaction; (ii) the benefits that accrue to Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a result of the transaction; (iii) the terms available to unrelated third parties entering into similar transactions; (iv) the impact of the transaction on a director’s independence (in the event the related party is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director or an immediate family member of a director is a partner, shareholder, member or executive officer); (v) the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; (vi) whether it is a single transaction or a series of ongoing, related transactions; and (vii) whether entering into the transaction would be consistent with the code of business conduct and ethics.

The related party transactions policy described above will be adopted in connection with the consummation of the merger, and as a result, the transactions described in the section entitled “The Merger” were not reviewed under this policy. Although the transactions described above were not reviewed under such policy and prior to the consummation of the merger Santa Maria Energy Corporation did not have a formal related party transactions policy, Santa Maria Energy Corporation believes that the terms of its initial agreements with related parties will be generally no less favorable to it than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated third parties with respect to similar services. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s belief is based on a review of comparable agreements entered into by other similarly situated companies.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER

The following discussion summarizes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger that may be relevant to U.S. holders of Hyde Park common stock and Santa Maria Energy common units who receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock pursuant to the merger. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable Treasury Regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, each as in effect as of the date hereof, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations contained herein, the statements of law and legal conclusions contained under this caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” regarding the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger, constitute the opinion of each of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP, respectively. These opinions are not binding on the IRS or any court, and no ruling from the IRS has been or will be requested. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions stated below and such contrary position could be sustained by a court.

This summary is limited to holders who hold their Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). In addition, this summary does not address any United States federal estate or gift tax consequences, nor any state, local or foreign tax consequences, of the merger, and this summary does not address the tax consequences to holders of Hyde Park common stock who exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL. This summary also does not address tax considerations applicable to a holder’s particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

• Banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

• Broker-dealers;

• Traders;

• United States expatriates;

• Tax-exempt organizations;

• Persons who are subject to alternative minimum tax;

• Persons that are or are holding Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units through, partnerships, S-corporations or other pass-through entities;

• Persons who hold their shares of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction;

• Persons deemed to sell their Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

• Persons that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar;

• Persons who acquired their Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, upon the exercise of stock options or otherwise as compensation;

• Holders of Santa Maria Energy preferred units that receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock in the merger; or

• Persons that are not U.S. holders, as defined below.

This summary does not purport to be a complete analysis of the potential tax considerations relating to the transaction or the issuance of Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock to holders of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, and is not tax advice. Therefore, you are urged to consult your tax advisors with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the merger arising under the federal estate or gift tax rules, the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction or any applicable tax treaty.

224

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial holder of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, that is:

• A citizen or resident of the United States;

• A corporation or an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia;

• An estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• A trust (a) the administration over which a United States court can exercise primary supervision and (b) all of the substantial decisions of which one or more United States persons have the authority to control and certain other trusts considered U.S. holders for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Opinions

Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy intend for the merger to constitute an exchange pursuant to Section 351 of the Code. It is a condition to the closing of the merger that Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP deliver opinions, dated as of the closing, to Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy, respectively, to the effect that the merger will constitute an exchange pursuant to Section 351 of the Code. If the conditions relating to the receipt of these opinions are waived, this joint proxy statement/prospectus will be amended and recirculated and stockholder approval will be resolicited.

The opinions referred to above of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP counsel to Hyde Park, and Latham & Watkins LLP counsel to Santa Maria Energy, will be based on U.S. federal income tax law in effect as of the date of these opinions. In rendering the opinions, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP will rely on certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding the absence of changes in existing facts and the consummation of the merger strictly in accordance with the merger agreement and the registration statement. These opinions will also rely on certain representations and covenants of the management of Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy and will assume that these representations are true, correct and complete without regard to any knowledge limitation, and that these covenants will be complied with. If any of these assumptions or representations are inaccurate in any way, or any of the covenants are not complied with, these opinions could be adversely affected. These tax opinions are not binding on the IRS or any court. In addition, no ruling from the IRS has been or will be requested regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions described therein and that such contrary position could be sustained by a court.

U.S. holders Receiving Santa Maria Energy Corporation Common Stock

The exchange of Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, for Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock will qualify as an “exchange” within the meaning of Section 351(a) of the Code. As a result, U.S. holders who receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock in exchange for their Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, in the merger will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the exchange. Under this treatment, such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock received will be equal to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable, surrendered, and the holder’s holding period for such Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock will include the holder’s holding period for such Hyde Park common stock or Santa Maria Energy common units, as applicable.

Every “significant transferor,” as defined below, pursuant to a Section 351 exchange must include a statement on or with such transferor’s income tax return for the taxable year of the Section 351 exchange. The statement must include (1) the name and employer identification number (if any) of the transferee corporation; (2) the date(s) of the transfer(s) of assets; (3) the aggregate fair market value and basis, determined immediately before the exchange, of the property transferred by such transferor in the exchange; and (4) the date and control number of any private letter ruling(s) issued by the IRS in connection with the Section 351 exchange. A

225

significant transferor is a person that transferred property to a corporation and received stock of the transferee corporation in a Section 351 exchange if, immediately after the exchange, such person— (i) owned at least five percent (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of the transferee corporation if the stock owned by such person is publicly traded, or (ii) owned at least one percent (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of the transferee corporation if the stock owned by such person is not publicly traded. Hyde Park and Santa Maria Energy expect that common stock of Santa Maria Energy Corporation will be publicly traded.

Conversion Rights of Hyde Park Stockholders

In the event that a U.S. holder exercises his, her or its conversion rights with respect to his, her or its Hyde Park common stock as described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such common stock or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Whether the redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Hyde Park common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder) relative to all of shares of Hyde Park common stock both before and after the redemption. The redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interests in Hyde Park or is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of Hyde Park common stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Hyde Park’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent of the percentage of Hyde Park’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either all the shares of Hyde Park common stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all the shares of Hyde Park common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules and reporting requirements, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s conversion results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Hyde Park. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Hyde Park will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock by the U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of Hyde Park common stock converted. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the conversion. A stockholder’s tax basis in his, her or its shares of Hyde Park common stock generally will equal the cost of such shares.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of commons stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend

226

for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in Hyde Park common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock. Special rules apply to dividends received by U.S. holders that are taxable corporations. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed common stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or if it has none, to other stock constructively owned by it.

U.S. holders who actually or constructively own five percent (or, if Hyde Park’s common stock is not then publicly traded, one percent) or more of Hyde Park’s common stock (by vote or value) may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of common stock, and such holders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

Gross acres or gross wells. The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which a working interest is owned.

MBbl. One thousand barrels of oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

MBoe. One thousand barrels of oil equivalent, determined using a ratio of one Bbl of oil, condensate or natural gas liquids to six Mcf.

Mcf. One thousand cubic feet.

Mcfd. One thousand cubic feet per day.

MMcf. One million cubic feet.

MMBbls. One million barrels of oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

MMBoe. One million barrels of oil equivalent, determined using a ratio of one Bbl of oil, condensate or natural gas liquids to six Mcf.

MMBtu. One million British thermal units, which each unit is the heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water from 58.5 degrees to 59.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

MMcf. One million cubic feet.

Net acres or net wells. The sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross acres or gross wells, as the case may be.

234

Possible reserves. Additional reserves which are less certain to be recognized than proved and probable reserves but which in sum with proved and probable reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

Potential drilling location. An identified site where an economically productive well may be drilled, as determined either by company petroleum engineers or independent petroleum engineering consultants, relying on geologic, engineering, drilling and production data. Actual drilling activities may change depending on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, natural gas and oil prices, costs, drilling results and other factors.

Probable reserves. Additional reserves that are less certain to be recognized than proved reserves but which, in sum with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

Productive well. A well that is found to be capable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production exceeds production expenses and taxes.

Production tax. Production taxes consist of production and ad valorem taxes and are paid at fixed per unit rates established by federal, state or local taxing authorities.

Proved developed reserves. Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Proved reserves. Reserves that by analysis of geoscience and engineering data can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

(B) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

(B) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

235

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Proved undeveloped reserves or PUDs. Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. Undrilled locations are classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time. Under no circumstances are estimates for undeveloped reserves attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

PV-10. The estimated future gross revenue to be generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and future development and abandonment costs, using prices and costs in effect at the determination date, before income taxes, and without giving effect to non-property-related expenses, discounted to a present value using an annual discount rate of 10% in accordance with the guidelines of the SEC.

Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery with time, reasonably certain estimated ultimate recovery is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease

Reserve/production ratio (R/P Ratio). The number of years proved reserves would last assuming current production continued at the December 2013 rate. This ratio is calculated by dividing annualized average daily production into the proved reserve quantity. Because production rates naturally decline over time, the R/P Ratio is not a useful estimate of how long properties should economically produce.

Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of economically productive natural gas and/or oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reserves.

Royalty interest. An interest that entitles the owner of such interest to a share of the mineral production from a property or to a share of the proceeds therefrom. It does not contain the rights and obligations of operating the property and normally does not bear any of the costs of exploration, development and operation of the property.

Spacing. The number of wells which conservation laws allow to be drilled on a given area of land.

Standardized measure of future net cash flows or standardized measure. The present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with the regulations of the SEC, without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service, future income tax expenses or depreciation, depletion and amortization; discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%.

Working interest. The operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Managers

Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC, and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC (together with its subsidiaries “SMEH,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in December 2008 to acquire, own, develop, and operate crude oil and natural gas properties. SMEH merged its six existing wholly owned subsidiaries Santa Maria Pacific, LLC, Gitte-Ten, LLC dba Phoenix Energy, LLC, Orcutt Properties, LLC, Escolle Properties, LLC, NW Casmalia Properties, LLC, and Santa Maria Valley Properties, LLC, into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Maria Energy, LLC (“Santa Maria Energy”). Santa Maria Energy, a California limited liability company, owns the working interests of the Company and acts as the sole operator for the Company’s oil and gas operations. The Company also formed a wholly owned subsidiary named SM Energy Management, LLC, a California limited liability company, to perform administrative services for the Company. Also, in conjunction with a proposed merger the Company formed and owns fifty percent interest in Santa Maria Energy Corporation (“SMEC”). The Company’s oil and natural gas reserves are located in northern Santa Barbara County, California.

The Company is a limited liability company (“LLC”). As an LLC, the amount of loss at risk for each individual member is limited to the amount of capital contributed to the LLC and, unless otherwise noted, the individual member’s liability for indebtedness of an LLC is limited to the member’s actual capital contribution.

The Company signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ: HPAC), a special purpose acquisition corporation, on November 27, 2013. Hyde Park stockholders and all of the Company’s existing unitholders will receive stock in Santa Maria Energy Corporation, the resulting parent company in the merger. If the merger with Hyde Park is not completed by May 1, 2014, the merger agreement will be terminated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent to the formation of SMEC on November 27, 2013, the Company accounts for its interest in SMEC in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. In addition, this guidance provides for the increases and decreases in the Company’s controlling financial interests in consolidated subsidiaries to be reported in equity similar to treasury stock transactions. The balances and accounts of SMEC have been consolidated, with no impact to noncontrolling interests as there was no activity in the entity during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Significant Estimates

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures of contingencies in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves and asset retirement obligations. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

F-7

SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves are the most significant estimates used. All of the reserve data in the accompanying financial statements are estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Furthermore, estimating reserves is not an exact science. Estimates can be expected to change as additional information becomes available. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are projections based on the interpretation of engineering data to determine future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis and bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, the Company believes its estimates are reasonable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At times, the amount of cash and cash equivalents on deposit in financial institutions exceeds federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of balances related to bonding requirements imposed by the State of California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (the “Division”) to secure the Company’s plugging and abandonment obligations related to certain oil and natural gas properties as further described in Note 10. The restricted cash and securities balances are classified according to their term, based on the Company’s plan to plug and abandon certain long-term assets, as the Company will not access this cash or securities until wells are plugged and abandoned upon termination of production. The Company does not intend to cease production or abandon any wells during 2014 requiring the use of any of the proceeds in these accounts. In addition, restricted cash includes performance bonds required to be posted by the County of Santa Barbara in connection with construction improvements, which bonds are released upon completion of the project. The Company does not anticipate the release of any such funds during 2014.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable

The Company sells crude oil and natural gas to customers. Such revenues are generally recognized when the related quantities are delivered to or collected by the purchaser using the sales method of accounting. Management believes there were no material imbalances as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Accounts receivable, joint interest owners, consist of uncollateralized joint interest owner obligations due within 30 days of the invoice date. Accounts receivable, oil and natural gas sales, consist of uncollateralized accrued revenues due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 to 60 days of delivery. No interest is charged on past-due balances. Payments made on all accounts receivable are applied to the earliest unpaid items. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a

valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that may not be collectible. No such allowance was indicated as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Inventory

Inventory consists of equipment, pipe, and oil. Tubing, casing, and equipment are carried at the lower of current market value or cost. Inventory costs include expenditures and other charges (including depreciation) directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Oil inventory is included and is carried at market value of the month reported. Selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory cost.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of the related assets is provided using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives. Currently, the Company owns certain vehicles, computers, and other office-related equipment which are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of five to seven years. Depreciation expense of furniture, fixtures, and equipment amounted to $224,000 and $252,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

When assets are sold or retired, the applicable costs and accumulated depreciation are removed and any gain or loss is included in income. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas activities. Under the full-cost method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas properties are capitalized, including capitalized interest. All such costs are directly identified with acquisition, exploratory and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of proved oil and gas properties plus the undiscounted estimated future development costs of proved reserves is computed on the unit-of-production method using the underlying proved reserves. Depletion and depreciation of oil and natural gas properties amounted to $3,153,000 and $4,565,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Unproved Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Unproved property costs not subject to amortization consist primarily of leasehold costs related to unproved areas. Costs are transferred into the amortization base on an ongoing basis as the properties are evaluated and proved reserves are established or impairment is determined. Interest costs related to significant unproved properties that are currently undergoing the activities necessary to get them ready for their intended use are capitalized to oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s unproved properties are evaluated quarterly for the possibility of potential impairment. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment was recorded.

Capitalized costs of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until proved reserves associated with the properties can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the excluded properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the costs of the proved properties subject

F-9

SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to amortization. Gains and losses on the sale or other disposition of properties are not recognized unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and natural gas property costs less accumulated depletion and net of deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves plus the cost of unproved properties not subject to amortization (without regard to estimates of fair value), or estimated fair value, if lower, of unproved properties that are subject to amortization. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment would be recognized. There were no impairment charges recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Dependence on Commodity Prices

As an independent oil and natural gas producer, the Company’s, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. Historically, the energy markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and access to capital and on the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce.

Commodity Price Risk Management Activities

The Company regularly enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage its exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility. The contracts, which are generally placed with major financial institutions or with counterparties of high credit-quality, may take the form of futures contracts, swaps, or options.

The Company determines its estimate of the fair value of derivative instruments using a market approach based on several factors, including quoted market prices in active markets, quotes from third parties, the credit rating of each counterparty, and the Company’s own credit rating. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether each counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, derivative instruments utilized by the Company consist of both “no premium” collars and swaps. The crude oil derivative markets are highly active. Although the Company’s derivative instruments are valued using public indices, the instruments themselves are traded with third-party counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange. As such, the Company has classified these instruments as Level 2. Settlements of gains and losses on derivative financial instruments have been realized monthly and reported as a component of other income and operating cash flows in the period realized. The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are currently recognized in other income and expenses in the statement of operations.

Fair Value Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at their fair values.

F-10

SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31:

Lease Operating Costs

Lease operating costs, including pumpers’ salaries, saltwater disposal, ad valorem taxes, repairs and maintenance, expensed workovers, and other operating expenses are expensed as incurred and included in lease operating expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Because the Company is an LLC, the income or loss of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes is generally allocated to the members in accordance with the Company’s formation agreements, and it is the responsibility of the members to report their share of taxable income or loss on their separate income tax returns. As such, the Company does not directly pay federal income tax.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SM Energy Management, LLC, has elected to be taxed as a C-Corporation under federal income tax regulations and is subject to federal income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts or existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and net operating loss carryforwards. No deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured at December 31, 2013.

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions noting no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no significant income tax interest or penalty items recorded in the income statement or as a liability on the balance sheet. All years’ income tax filings of SM Energy Management, LLC will be open to examination once filed.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to future plugging and abandonment expenditures on its crude oil and natural gas properties. The Company records such obligations at fair value on the date incurred, using significant unobservable inputs, including estimates of current plugging and abandonment expenses, inflation rates, credit-adjusted, risk-free rates, and anticipated timing of cash flows. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. At least annually, the Company evaluates whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment.

Earnings per Common Unit

Earnings per unit is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for the period. The weighted average common units outstanding was 50,000,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. There were no potentially dilutive securities at December 31, 2013 or 2012

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company sells all of its oil production to Phillips 66. Management does not believe that the loss of this purchaser would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows, as it believes it could readily locate other purchasers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 220) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01. The objective of this Update is to clarify that the scope of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, would apply to derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. We adopted ASU 2013-01 at December 31, 2013 with no material impact on our financial statements.

4. LIQUIDITY

At December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $75,000 and a working capital deficit of $1,123,000. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,823,000, including depletion, depreciation, and amortization of $3,377,000 and did not generate cash flow from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company amended their senior secured revolving credit facility, with the existing borrowing base insufficient to cover outstanding obligations at the time of amendment. The Company entered into an agreement with the Kayne Investors in 2012 to guaranty additional borrowing capacity under the newly executed senior secured revolving credit facility, providing the Company additional available capital to fund obligations. To the extent cash on hand as of December 31, 2013, and cash flow generated by operations subsequent to December 31, 2013 are insufficient to fund operating cash flow requirements and debt maturity obligations, the Company will need to: (i) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities; (ii) refinance existing credit agreements; (iii) divest portions of its working interests in oil and natural gas properties; (iv) reduce operating and capital expenditures; or (v) pursue other strategic alternatives. As a result of the Company’s financial position, the Company may be forced to accept less favorable terms than would otherwise be available in closing these transactions. The Company is actively engaged in pursuing additional financing to fulfill its operating and investing cash flow needs.

5. DEBT

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated $50,000,000 senior credit facility with Mutual of Omaha Bank, N.A. The new credit facility provided an available loan amount to the Company of $20,000,000. The available loan amount consisted of a $9,000,000 Borrowing Base plus $11,000,000 supported by a guaranty from Kayne Anderson (the “Kayne Guaranty”). In exchange for posting of the Kayne Guaranty, the Company has agreed to the payment of a $1,500,000 fee on the earlier of November 1, 2013 or the closing of an equity transaction. In June 2013, the payment date of the fee associated with the Kayne Guaranty was extended to the earlier of January 1, 2015 or the closing of an equity transaction. The Company also entered into a First Amendment with the senior lender whereby the borrowing base was increased to $10,000,000 (based on the Company’s Monterey reserves) causing an automatic reduction in the Kayne Guaranty to $10,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a guaranty payable of $1,500,000 which represents a one-time fair

value measurement based on the expected cash outflows. If the Kayne Guaranty is called by the senior lender, (i) Kayne shall have the right to elect a majority to the Board of Managers, and (ii) the Company shall execute a note payable to Kayne for the amount paid pursuant to the Kayne Guaranty, which will accrue interest at 12% per annum. The senior lender has the right to call upon the Kayne Guaranty on the earlier of (a) maturity or acceleration of the facility, (b) violation of certain debt covenants, and (c) December 31, 2013. In December 2013, the Company amended the Senior Credit Facility in conjunction with the October 1 redetermination date. The borrowing base was increased to $13,000,000, the $11,000,000 Kayne Guaranty was extended to be fully additive to the borrowing base to provide a total loan amount of $24,000,000, and the maturity date of the loan was extended to February 28, 2015. In addition, the maturity date of the Kayne Guaranty was moved to May 31, 2014.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility elected as LIBOR loans bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.50% payable at the end of the LIBOR loan period, not to exceed three months. Amounts outstanding subject to the Alternate Base Rate loan bear interest at the greater of federal prime rate, federal funds effect rate plus 1%, or the adjusted one-month LIBOR rate plus 1%. Alternate Base Rate loans are subject to a margin of 2.50%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the LIBOR loan of $19,400,000 accruing interest at 3.67%. The agreement does not require monthly reductions in principal subject to the next redetermination of the borrowing base as defined. The next redetermination date is May 1, 2014.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $19,400,000 and $14,600,000, respectively, outstanding under the facility.

At December 31, 2013, there was $6,400,000 outstanding under the Kayne Guaranty.

In accordance with the financing agreement, the Company is required to meet various financial covenants, including current ratio, interest coverage ratio, and net worth test. As of December 31, 2013, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has deferred financing costs of $895,000 related to its senior secured revolving credit facility. Deferred financing costs include origination, legal and other fees incurred in connection with the Company’s credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded amortization expense of $910,000, which is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

Senior Secured Term Note to a Finance and Leasing Company

In 2010, Santa Maria Energy assumed a limited recourse debt obligation of Casmalia Investors, LLC (“CILLC”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,800,000 payable to Sector Capital Corporation (“Sector,” and the obligation referred to as the “Sector Note”). The President of Sector, William Dell’Orfano, serves on the board of managers of Santa Maria Energy. The debt obligation was secured by a lien on the working interests contributed by CILLC, which included a 21.7% working interest in NW Casmalia and 2.7% working in each of Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Monterey fields. The terms of the transaction with CILLC provided that CILLC (through its members) was primarily liable for the Sector Note. During 2011 and 2012, the CILLC members funded to Santa Maria Energy approximately $1,900,000 in two separate tranches, which Santa Maria Energy remitted to Sector as a reduction of the outstanding principal and interest. The remaining principal balance of $247,000 was due December 31, 2012.

F-14

SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company opted to not repay the outstanding balance of this note on behalf of the CILLC members at December 21, 2012. Subsequently, Sector declared the unpaid loan in default in January 2013. Sector had the right to foreclose on the working interests pledged as security for the loan, which is otherwise non-recourse to the Company.

In November 2013, the Sector Note was purchased by Kayne Investors and Kayne Investors repaid the loan in exchange for 196,263 membership units forfeited by the non-paying CILLC members.

6. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows accounting for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it was incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value could be made. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon and remediate producing and shut-in wells at the end of their productive lives in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to plugging and abandonment liabilities. The significant inputs used to calculate such liabilities include estimates of costs to be incurred; the Company’s credit adjusted discount rates, inflation rates and estimated dates of abandonment. The asset retirement liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized asset retirement costs are depleted as a component of the full cost pool using the unit of production method. As a result of the Company’s assessment in 2013 and 2012, the estimated asset retirement cost was adjusted due primarily to a change in the estimated production lives of its existing oil and natural gas properties. The Company will incur asset retirement costs upon plugging and abandonment of its oil and gas producing properties. The Company does not intend to cease production or abandon any wells during 2014, and the asset retirement obligation is accordingly classified as a non-current liability at December 31, 2013.

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s asset retirement obligation for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

7. COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

We are exposed to various market risks, including volatility in oil commodity prices and interest rates. The level of derivative activity in which we engage depends on our view of market conditions, available derivative prices and operating strategies and Company policies. A variety of derivative instruments, such as swaps, collars, puts, calls and various combinations of these instruments, may be utilized to manage our exposure to the volatility of oil and gas commodity prices. Currently, we do not use derivatives to manage our interest rate risk. The interest rate on our senior revolving credit facility is variable, though we do fix the interest rate on a portion of our debt for 30 day increments.

All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a hedge, the changes in fair value, both realized and unrealized, are recognized in our income statement as a gain or loss on mark-to-market derivative contracts. Cash flows are only impacted to the extent the actual settlements under the contracts result in making a payment to or receiving a payment from the counterparty. The derivative instruments we have in place do not currently qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.

As of December 31, 2013, we had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts, all of which settle monthly, and none of which were designated as hedging instruments:

Years Ended December 31	Instrument		Commodity Index		Daily Volumes		Fixed Price		Fair Value (In thousands)

Credit Risk

We generally do not require collateral or other security to support derivative instruments subject to credit risk. However, the agreements with each of the counterparties to our derivative instruments contain netting provisions within the agreements. If a default occurs under the agreements, the non-defaulting party can offset the amount payable to the defaulting party under the derivative contracts with the amount due from the defaulting party under the derivatives contracts. As a result of the netting provisions under the agreements, our maximum amount of loss due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due to and from the counterparties under the derivative contracts.

8. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

Under the Company LLC Agreement, as amended, the Company may issue to the Kayne Investors up to an aggregate of fifty thousand (50,000) Preferred Units at a purchase price of $1,000 per Preferred Unit. Preferred Units issued and outstanding were 50,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, with a redemption value of $65,120,000 and $60,160,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In connection with each purchase of Preferred Units, the Company was required to grant the Kayne Investors an aggregate share of the Common Units in amount determined in accordance with a pre-agreed formula.

The holders of the Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”) earn a preferred return (“Preferred Return”) equal to the aggregate interest (8% per annum), accruing daily and compounding quarterly from date of initial investment, on the Preferred Undistributed Capital, which is defined as the sum of the aggregate capital contributions plus any Preferred Return that has not been distributed to the Kayne Investors. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has made no distributions.

SANTA MARIA ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Option to Redeem Preferred Membership Interests

Each Preferred Unit is redeemable at the Kayne Investors’ option at any time from the LLC formation date of December 16, 2008, until 30 days after the later of (1) the second (2^nd) anniversary of the LLC formation date; (2) the date that is 180 days after the full investment of $10,000,000. This redemption option period passed without a written redemption request by the Kayne Investors.

After December 16, 2010 and until the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the LLC formation date, the Company possesses an exclusive, one-time option to redeem in cash all the outstanding Preferred Units at a redemption price equal to the Preferred Undistributed Capital. If the Company elects to exercise its redemption rights during this period, the Kayne Investors shall retain its Common Interest. Additionally, Kayne Investors shall have the option exercisable at any time after the first anniversary of the full redemption of the Preferred Units to require the Company to purchase its Common Interest for a cash price equal to eighty percent (80%) of fair value as determined in accordance with the terms of the Company LLC Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not elected to exercise its redemption rights.

Upon the sixth anniversary of the LLC formation date, which occurs on December 16, 2014, the Kayne Investors hold another option to redeem the Preferred Units for a cash redemption price equal to Preferred Undistributed Capital. The cash redemption price is payable within 60 days of written notice of redemption by the Kayne Investors. For any redemption after the sixth anniversary, Kayne Investors retain their Common Interest without an option to require the Company to purchase its Common Interests. In November 2013, the redemption date was moved to March 16, 2015.

9. MEMBERS’ EQUITY

The Amended & Restated LLC agreement dated August 15, 2013 governs the Company’s ownership. Net income or loss and distributions are allocated among the Preferred and Common Interest holders as follows:

• First to the Preferred Interest up to the amount of the Preferred Return, which is equal to the redemption value on the Preferred Membership Interests of $65,120,000 and $60,160,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

• Subsequent to the Preferred Return, net income or loss and distributions shall continue to be allocated in accordance with the respective capital contribution percentages.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

401(k) Plan

In 2008, the Company established a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its employees. Eligible employees may make voluntary contributions not exceeding statutory limitations to the plan. The Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to 4% of the employee’s salary. The Company’s matching contributions are 100% vested upon participation. The matching contribution recorded in 2013 and 2012 was $57,000 and $81,000, respectively.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation Plan

During 2011, our Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a new annual cash incentive compensation plan for all employees (the “2011 Incentive Compensation Plan”). Under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Compensation Committee determines the annual award targets for all employees based upon a number of factors including the Company’s performance against stated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

performance goals. All employees are eligible if employed on September 30^th of the performance period. Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2011, our annual cash incentive compensation is paid in a single payment to employees during the second quarter after the end of the performance period.

There was no incentive compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Phantom Equity Plan

Santa Maria Pacific, LLC, a prior subsidiary, adopted a Phantom Equity Plan effective as of January 1, 2008, which plan was then assumed by the Company in March 2011. Under the plan, the Company grants unit awards (“Phantom Equity Units”), which entitle plan participants to receive deferred cash compensation only upon a future liquidity event. Each Phantom Equity Unit award is based upon the fair market value of a 0.01% of membership interest in the Company. The maximum number of Phantom Equity Units available for grant as an award under the plan is 1,000 units or 10% of the Company membership interest. So long as the plan participant remains in the service of the Company, the plan participants generally shall become fully vested in awards at a rate of 20% per year on each anniversary of the grant date. At the end of five years, the plan participant shall become fully vested unless a liquidity event occurs first upon which all units are immediately vested. Each grant of awards has a term of 10 years from the grant date.

As of December 31, 2013, 492 Phantom Equity Units have been granted to participants, with 481 vested, representing approximately 4.8% membership interest. As a future liquidity event is not certain to occur, and fair market value is not estimable as of the balance sheet date, no liability is recorded for these awards as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

McMillan Agreements

On November 27, 2013, the Company executed an agreement with an officer whereby subject to his continued employment with the Company or a subsidiary thereof until at least immediately prior to the closing of the Hyde Park merger agreement, the Company will pay to Kevin McMillan, VP — Finance and Administration, a cash bonus (the “Transaction Bonus”) equal to the amount Mr. McMillan would have been entitled to receive under the Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Plan had he held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Santa Maria Energy Phantom Equity Units. Additionally, Mr. McMillan currently holds 1,000,000 profits interest units in Santa Maria Energy, which will be terminated in connection with the merger (without payment therefore) pursuant to the merger agreement and a profits interest units cancellation agreement was simultaneously entered into by the Company and Mr. McMillan.

Operating Leases

On May 18, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year office space lease agreement with The Pope Group, LLC (“Pope Group”), a related party, which expires on June 1, 2016. In connection with the lease, the Company paid $100,000 for the option to purchase the property during the option period of June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2017. The option is recorded in prepaid and other current assets. The Company amended this lease in July 2012 to provide relief on rent payments. As a result, the Company maintained its lease payments of $22,000 for the twelve month period beginning June 1, 2012. In exchange, the Company agreed to a lump sum payment of $99,000 in 2016. In June 2013, the Company amended this lease to reduce base rent to $24,000/month (from $36,000/month in original lease agreement) for period June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. In exchange, the Company agreed to extend the term of the lease by two years and a proportional increase in the payment due upon the Company’s exercise of its option to purchase. Three of the members of the Pope Group are affiliates of Board members of the Company. The Company also leased office space in Santa Maria, California under a non-

Environmental Issues

The Company is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and natural gas wells and the operation thereof. In connection with the acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental cleanup or restoration, the Company would be responsible for curing such a violation. In September 2013, the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District (the “APCD”) issued to the Company a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) for violation of certain conditions under its Authority to Construct/Permit to Operate, which resulted in excess emissions in 2011 and 2012. A settlement has been reached with the APCD. Per the terms of the agreement with APCD, payment of a settlement amount of $225,000 is due July 1, 2014, which amount is accrued as a current liability at December 31, 2013.

Restricted Cash

The Company is required under certain regulations of the Division to maintain certain funds for plugging and abandonment obligations, as well as to maintain certain idle well escrow accounts. In addition, the Company must post performance bonds as mandated by the County of Santa Barbara prior to commencing construction improvements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, balances in bonds and pledged accounts totaled $455,000 and $482,000, respectively.

13. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

(a) Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The following table sets forth the net quantities of proved reserves during the periods indicated. This information includes the oil and natural gas segment’s royalty and net working interest share of the reserves in oil and natural gas properties. Net proved oil and natural gas reserves for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 were prepared by Santa Maria Energy’s independent petroleum engineering firm. There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating proved reserve quantities, and projecting future production rates and timing of future development costs. In addition, reserve estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of properties with a production history. Accordingly, these estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. All reserves are located in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate, and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known oil and natural gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions at the end of the respective years. Proved developed reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The Company estimates proved reserves using historical 12-month unweighted first day of the month average prices.

Proved undeveloped reserves include drilling locations that are more than one offset location away from productive wells and are reasonably certain of containing proved reserves and which are scheduled to be drilled within five years under the Company’s development plans. The Company’s development plans for drilling scheduled over the next five years are subject to many uncertainties and variables, including availability of capital; future oil and natural gas prices; and cash flows from operations, future drilling costs, demand for natural gas, and other economic factors.

The following table sets forth information for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 with respect to changes in the Company’s proved reserves:

Santa Maria Energy realized a decrease to proved developed producing reserves of 311 MBoe, a 15.4% decrease, in the year ending December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was comprised of 130 MBoe produced in 2013 and remaining the 181 MBoe decrease was primarily due to volume revisions for Orcutt Diatomite and price changes.

Additionally, Santa Maria Energy realized an increase to proved undeveloped reserves of 7,091 MBoe, in the year ending December 31, 2013 compared to the year ending December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the addition of 158 well locations for Orcutt Diatomite. This was offset by a decrease of 907 MBoe primarily due to price changes and volume revisions tied to Orcutt Diatomite pilot performance.

The values for oil reserves are based upon the 12 month arithmetic average first of the month price January through December. Oil prices are then further adjusted for transportation, quality and basis differentials. The Natural Gas reserves are based upon a fixed price which was mutually determined by Santa Maria Energy and a third party.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves (Unaudited)

The Company follows the guidelines prescribed in ASC Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves. The following summarizes the policies used in the preparation of the accompanying oil and natural gas reserve disclosures, standardized measures of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves and the reconciliation of standardized measures from year to year.

The information is based on estimates of proved reserves attributable to the Company’s interest in oil and natural gas properties as of December 31 of the years presented. These estimates were prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent petroleum engineers for 2013 and 2012. The 2011 estimates were prepared by Gaffney, Cline & Associates, Inc., independent petroleum engineers.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from production of proved reserves was developed as follows: (1) Estimates are made of quantities of proved reserves and future periods during which they are expected to be produced based on year-end economic conditions. (2) The estimated future cash flows are compiled by applying the twelve month average of the first of the month prices of crude oil and natural gas relating to the Company’s proved reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves for reserves. (3) The future cash flows are reduced by estimated production costs, costs to develop and produce the proved reserves and abandonment costs, all based on year-end economic conditions, plus Company overhead incurred. (4) Future income tax expenses are based on year-end statutory tax rates giving effect to the remaining tax basis in the oil and natural gas properties, other deductions, credits and allowances relating to the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves. (5) Future net cash flows are discounted to present value by applying a discount rate of 10%.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations, since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established proved producing oil and gas properties. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows does not purport, nor should it be interpreted, to present the fair value of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserve estimates.

The average prices used to estimate the Company’s total equivalent reserves were as follows:

	Santa Maria Basin
December 31, 2011	$	97.62
December 31, 2012	$	103.99
December 31, 2013	$	100.51

The prices above have been adjusted for quality and basis differences and are representative of the net oil price received by Santa Maria Energy.

Estimated future net cash flows represent an estimate of future net revenues from the production of proved reserves using average prices for 2013, and 2012 along with estimates of the operating costs, production taxes and future development and abandonment costs (less salvage value) necessary to produce such reserves. No deduction has been made for depreciation or any indirect costs such as general corporate overhead or interest expense.

Operating costs and production taxes are estimated based on current costs with respect to producing oil and natural gas properties. Future development costs including abandonment costs are based on the best estimate of such costs assuming current economic and operating conditions. The future costs estimated to be spent to develop the Company’s portion of proved undeveloped properties is $271 million.

The future net revenue information assumes no escalation of costs or prices, except for oil and natural gas sales made under terms of contracts which include fixed and determinable escalation. Future costs and prices could significantly vary from current amounts and, accordingly, revisions in the future could be significant.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations and Liquidity

Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II (“Hyde Park” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 24, 2011 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2013 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”), and the identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination.

On November 27, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Santa Maria Energy Corporation (“Santa Maria Energy Corporation”), HPAC Merger Sub, Inc. (“HPAC Merger Sub”), SME Merger Sub, LLC (“SME Merger Sub”) and Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC (“Santa Maria Energy”) (together, the “SME Merger”). See Note 8 — Agreements and Plan of Merger for a discussion of the merger agreement entered into on November 27, 2013.

The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective on August 1, 2012. The Company consummated the Offering on August 7, 2012 and received proceeds net of underwriters discount of $73,312,500 and simultaneously raised $6,937,500 through the issuance of shares of common stock (“Sponsors’ Shares”) to the Company’s initial stockholders (collectively, the “Sponsors”) in a private placement (“Private Placement”) which are described in Note 4. The Company paid a total of $1,687,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including deferred fees) and $544,262 for other costs and expenses related to the Offering.

Upon the closing of the Offering, $78,750,000 ($10.50 per share sold in the Offering (“Public Share”), including the proceeds of the Private Placement), was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and is invested in United States government treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less. Funds held in the Trust Account may also be invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest solely in U.S. treasuries, until the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons or entities will execute such agreements. The Company’s executive officers have agreed that they will be jointly and severally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for, or products sold to the Company. However, they may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (1) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (2) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to affect a Business Combination successfully.

Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the target business or businesses that the Company acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account, net of deferred commissions and tax obligations, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance (See Note 9 — Subsequent Event).

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company may either seek stockholder approval of any Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares of common stock into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), or provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares of common stock to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable). Pursuant to the terms of the SME Merger, the Company has determined to seek stockholder approval through a meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, which stockholders may seek to convert their shares of common stock into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Business Combination and, solely if stockholder approval is sought, a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company intends to consistently maintain its net tangible assets at the threshold level of $5,000,001. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder (defined as a holder of Public Shares, including the Company’s Sponsors to the extent the Sponsors purchase Public Shares, provided that their status as “public stockholders” shall only exist with respect to such Public Shares), together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, each Public Stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights will be required to certify whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. These certifications, together with any other information relating to stock ownership available at that time, will be the sole basis on which the above-referenced determination is made. If it is determined that a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder, the stockholder will be notified of the determination and will be offered an opportunity to dispute the finding. The final determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder will ultimately be made in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with any stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, the Sponsors have agreed (1) to vote any of their respective Founders’ Shares (See Note 7), Sponsors’ Shares and any Public Shares they may have acquired in the Offering or the aftermarket in favor of the initial Business Combination, (2) not to convert any of their respective Founders’ Shares and Sponsors’ Shares in connection with any vote on a Business Combination, and (3) not to sell any of their respective Founders’ Shares and Sponsors’ Shares to the Company pursuant to any tender offer described above.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will continue in existence only until May 1, 2014. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding shares held by the Public Stockholders, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest but net of franchise taxes and income taxes payable with respect to interest earned on the Trust Account, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares (defined as shares of the Company’s common stock sold in Offering (whether they are purchased in the Offering or thereafter in the open market), which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining

F-32

Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations and Liquidity, continued

stockholders and its board of directors dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive a full pro rata interest in the Trust Account ($10.50 per Public Share as of December 31, 2012 plus any pro rata interest earned on the Trust Fund, net of taxes, not previously released to the Company).

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $387,115 in cash and cash equivalents. Investment securities in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2013 consisted of $78,749,953 in United States treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less, and $945 in cash equivalents. Except as set forth below, funds held in the Trust Account will be not be released to the Company until the earlier of (i) the completion of its initial Business Combination, or (ii) the redemption of 100% of its outstanding public shares in the event it has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period. Interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, and any remaining interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be used for the Company’s working capital requirements.

The Company expects that the funds not held in the Trust Account, plus the interest earned on the Trust Account balance (net of income and other tax obligations) that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (which is anticipated to be approximately $51,000) will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate until May 1, 2014, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. The Company anticipates that it will incur approximately $475,000, of which approximately $250,000 are expected to be paid in cash on or before May 1, 2014, in costs to search for a Business Combination candidate and operate its business during that time.

If the actual amount of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating its initial Business Combination is more than the Company’s estimates to do so, or if the amount available from interest earned on the Trust Account is less than expected, the Company may have insufficient funds in order to operate its business prior to an initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate an initial Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public shares upon consummation of its initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. There can be no assurance that the Company can issue additional securities or incur debt on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-K.

The Company is considered to be a development stage company, and, as such, the Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is subject to all of the risks associated with development stage companies.

F-33

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash: The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. As of December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s cash funds were held at one financial institution.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Investments and Cash Equivalents Held in Trust Account

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2013, investment securities held in the Trust Account consisted of $78,749,953 in United States Treasury Bills, which matures on March 27, 2014 and $945 of cash equivalents. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and are adjusted for the accretion of discounts.

A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

The carrying amount, gross unrealized holding gains (losses) and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively are as follows:

	Carrying Amount		Gross Unrealized Holding (Losses) Gains			Fair Value
Held-to-maturity:
U.S. Treasury Bills:
December 31, 2013	$	78,749,953	$	(768	)	$	78,749,186
December 31, 2012	$	78,786,810	$	7,826		$	78,794,636

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares subject to possible redemption of 6,894,133, 7,088,364 and 0 shares at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. Weighted

F-34

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Loss Per Share, continued

average shares for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period February 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, were reduced for the effect of an aggregate 281,250 shares of common stock that were forfeited on September 15, 2012, the date upon which the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired (See Note 7).

Shares Subject to Possible Conversion or Tender

The Company accounts for its shares subject to possible redemption or tender in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on February 24, 2011, the evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are the only periods subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the period from February 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2013. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-35

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2013, through the date which the financial statements were available to be publicly issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 9 — Subsequent Event, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4 — Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

On August 7, 2012, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000 in the Offering.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement with the sale of 693,750 Sponsors’ Shares to the Sponsors at a price of $10.00 per share, generating total proceeds of $6,937,500. The Sponsors’ Shares are identical to the shares of common stock sold in the Offering. However, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Sponsors’ Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

The Sponsors are entitled to registration rights with respect to their Founders’ Shares and the Sponsors’ Shares, as well as any shares issued in payment of working capital loans made by the Sponsors or their affiliates to the Company, pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of the Founders’ Shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the securities are to be released from escrow. The holders of the Sponsors’ Shares or shares issued in payment of working capital loans are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsors have certain “piggyback” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

The Company entered into an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company paid 2.25% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, or $1,687,500, as underwriting discounts and commissions upon closing of the Offering.

The Company will also pay the underwriters in the Offering a deferred underwriting discount (“Deferred Commission”) of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the Offering which is held in the Trust Account. The amount of any aggregate Deferred Commissions paid to the underwriters will be reduced by the amount of any Deferred Commission earned on shares of common stock which have been converted or tendered in connection with the completion of an initial Business Combination.

On the date of the Offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 45 day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 shares to cover over-allotments if any, which expired unexercised on September 22, 2012.

Note 5 — Commitments

The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination or is required to be liquidated, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such affiliate

F-36

Note 5 — Commitments, continued

an aggregate of $10,000 per month for such services commencing on August 1, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, for the period from February 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, and for the period from February 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2013, the Company has paid $120,000, $50,000, $0 and $170,000, respectively to the aforementioned affiliate, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as Office expense — related party.

On September 25, 2012, the Company engaged a law firm to assist the Company with its legal matters in identifying, negotiating, and consummating a Business Combination as well as assisting with other legal matters. In connection with the engagement, the Company initially paid the law firm $100,000. Fees in excess of $100,000 are accrued as a liability as incurred, but will not be paid until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) upon the liquidation of the Company. Upon event (i), the Company’s obligation to the law firm will be increased by 15% and we intend to pay such amount in full. Pursuant to our agreement with the law firm, upon event (ii), the law firm has agreed to accept as payment in full only the amount of cash the Company has available after payments have been made to all of the Company’s creditors.

On June 1, 2013, the Company engaged a consultant to assist the Company with its evaluation of potential Business Combination candidates. This consultant will be paid $5,000 per month. Upon the Company consummating a Business Combination, the Company would be required to pay the consultant an additional $10,000 per month, for each month of service provided, representing a total of $70,000 as of December 31, 2013.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

The Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows:

	December 31,
	2013			2012
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	809,072		$	75,477
Total deferred tax assets		809,072			75,477
Less: Valuation allowance		(809,072	)		(75,477	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	—		$	—

The Company has a net operating loss of approximately $2,022,680 that expires between 2031 and 2033. The ultimate realization of the net operating losses is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, of the Company and may be limited in any one period by alternative minimum tax rules. Although management believes that the Company will have sufficient future taxable income to absorb the net operating loss carryovers before the expiration of the carryover period, there may be circumstances beyond the Company’s control that limit such utilization. Accordingly, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset is appropriate at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers when the stock ownership of one or more 5% shareholders (shareholders owning 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding capital stock) has increased on a cumulative basis by more than 50 percentage points within a period of two years. Management cannot control the ownership changes occurring as a result of public trading of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, there is a risk of an ownership change beyond the control of the Company that could trigger a limitation of the use of the loss carryover.

The Company established a valuation allowance of $809,072 and $75,477 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, which fully offset the deferred tax assets of $809,072 and $75,477, respectively.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively is as follows:

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. In connection with the organization of the Company, on April 28, 2011, a total of 2,524,391 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold to the Sponsors at a price of approximately $0.01 per share for an aggregate of $25,000 (“Founders’ Shares”). Effective July 1, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock dividend of approximately 0.139 shares for each outstanding share of common stock. On October 26, 2011, the Sponsors contributed an aggregate of 718,750 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s capital at no cost to the Company. Share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the stock dividend and the Sponsors’ contribution to capital. The holders of the majority of the Founders’ Shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination.

On September 15, 2012, an aggregate of 281,250 Founders’ Shares were forfeited upon the underwriters’ election not to exercise their over-allotment option, resulting in the Sponsors owning an aggregate of 1,875,000 Founders shares.

As of December 31, 2013, 10,068,750 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, including 6,894,133 shares of common stock subject to possible conversion or tender.

The Founders’ Shares were placed into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited expectations, these shares will not be transferable during the escrow period. Such shares will be released from escrow on the first anniversary of the closing date of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

Note 8 — Agreement and Plan of Merger

On November 27, 2013, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Santa Maria Energy. Santa Maria Energy is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas in the Monterey Formation and the Diatomite reservoir within the Sisquoc formation in northern Santa Barbara County, California.

The Merger Agreement provides for (1) the merger of HPAC Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, with and into Hyde Park, with Hyde Park surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (the “Hyde Park Merger”), (2) the merger of SME Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, with and into Santa Maria Energy, with Santa Maria Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (the “SME Merger” and together with the Hyde Park Merger, the “Merger”), and (3) the subsequent contribution of Santa Maria Energy to Hyde Park, resulting in Santa Maria Energy becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyde Park (the “SME Contribution”). The stockholders of Hyde Park and the common unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock and the preferred unitholders of Santa Maria Energy will receive Santa Maria Energy Corporation preferred stock as part of the Merger. Santa Maria Energy Corporation is a holding company formed solely for purposes of effecting the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, the Company’s stockholders will own 10,068,750 shares of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s common stock, or approximately 38.8% of its outstanding common stock immediately following the Merger, assuming no shares of SMEC common stock are sold in the SME Private Equity Financing. At a minimum, the Hyde Park stockholders will own approximately 19.5% of the outstanding Santa Maria Energy Corporation common stock assuming maximum conversion of Hyde Park common stock and maximum Private Equity Financing.

Santa Maria Energy is an independent energy company focused on the exploration and development of oil and natural gas in the Monterey Formation and the Diatomite reservoir within the Sisquoc formation in northern Santa Barbara County, California.

The Merger is expected to be consummated on or before May 1, 2014, subject to receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of Hyde Park and the members of Santa Maria Energy, as well as the fulfillment of certain other conditions, as described in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Merger Form S-4”) filed by Santa Maria Energy Corporation on January 27, 2014 under the captions “Summary — Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger” and “Merger Agreement — Conditions to Completion of the Merger” and in the Merger Agreement.

Note 9 — Subsequent Event

Notice of Potential Delisting from NASDAQ

On January 2, 2014, the Company received notice from NASDAQ that, as a result of the Company’s failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within the timeframe required by NASDAQ listing Rules 5620(a) and 5620(b), NASDAQ had determined to delist the Company’s securities from its NASDAQ listing. NASDAQ Rule 5620(a) requires a listed company to hold an annual meeting of stockholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year-end, and NASDAQ Rule 5620(b) requires a listed company to solicit proxies and provide proxy statements for all meetings of stockholders and to provide copies of such proxy solicitation to NASDAQ.

On January 8, 2014, NASDAQ notified the Company that the delisting notification would be supplemented as a result of NASDAQ’s determination that the Company has less than 300 public stockholders in violation of NASDAQ Rule 5550. On January 29, 2014, the Company received formal notification from Nasdaq that, based on Nasdaq’s records, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) requires listed companies to maintain at least 300 “public holders,” which includes beneficial holders and holders of record, but does not include any holder who is, either directly or indirectly, an executive officer, director, or the beneficial holder of more than 10% of the total shares outstanding.

F-39

Note 9 — Subsequent Event, continued

Notice of Potential Delisting from NASDAQ, continued

NASDAQ’s delisting determinations will not immediately result in the delisting of the Company’s securities. Under NASDAQ rules, the suspension of trading and delisting of the Company’s securities will be stayed during the pendency of an appeal by the Company of the delisting determinations. The Company commenced such an appeal, and a NASDAQ panel heard Company’s appeal at a hearing held on February 20, 2014. Accordingly, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NASDAQ while such appeal is pending. There can be no assurance whether the Company will be successful in its appeal of the delisting determinations.

ARTICLE II.

EFFECT ON THE EQUITY OF THE CONSTITUENT ENTITIES; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock of Hyde Park, Merger Sub 1 and Parent. At the Hyde Park Effective Time, by virtue of the Hyde Park Merger and without any action on the part of Hyde Park, Parent, Merger Sub 1 or any holder of (i) any shares of Hyde Park common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Hyde Park Common Stock”) or (ii) any shares of Hyde Park preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Hyde Park Preferred Stock” and, together with Hyde Park Common Stock, “Hyde Park Stock”):

(a) Conversion of Certain Stock. All shares of Hyde Park Common Stock that are held by Hyde Park as treasury stock or that are owned by Hyde Park, Merger Sub 1 or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Hyde Park immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Hyde Park Common Stock. Subject to the other provisions of Article II (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6 and 2.7), each share of Hyde Park Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and Conversion Shares) shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (such shares referred to collectively as the “Hyde Park Merger Consideration”). As of the Hyde Park Effective Time, all shares of Hyde Park Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Hyde Park Common Stock (a “Hyde Park Certificate”) or shares of Hyde Park Common Stock held in book entry form (the “Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares”) shall, subject to Section 2.6, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), the Hyde Park Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Hyde Park Certificate, without interest.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub 1 Stock. Each share of Merger Sub 1 common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hyde Park Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Hyde Park Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Times, Parent shall deposit with a nationally recognized financial institution or trust company designated by Parent and the Company and reasonably acceptable to Hyde Park to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the exchange of certificates representing the full number of shares of Parent Stock (as defined below) issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) in exchange for outstanding shares of Hyde Park Common Stock and Company Membership Interests (such shares of Parent Stock provided to the Exchange Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Parent Common Stock contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(b), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Parent, the Company and Hyde Park shall enter into an agreement relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(b) Hyde Park Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Hyde Park Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Hyde Park Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Hyde Park Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Hyde Park Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as are reasonably satisfactory to both Hyde Park and the

A-4

Company) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Hyde Park Certificates in exchange for the Hyde Park Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Hyde Park Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Hyde Park Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”)) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Hyde Park Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Hyde Park Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Hyde Park, shares may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Hyde Park Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Hyde Park Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance to a person other than the registered holder of such Hyde Park Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Hyde Park Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Hyde Park Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration shall automatically upon the Hyde Park Effective Time (or, at any later time at which such Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Hyde Park Effective Time, in respect of each share of Hyde Park Common Stock the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Hyde Park Common Stock. The Hyde Park Merger Consideration issued in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon the surrender of the Hyde Park Certificates (or, automatically, in the case of the Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Hyde Park Common Stock. After the Hyde Park Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Hyde Park Surviving Corporation of shares of Hyde Park Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time. If, after the Hyde Park Effective Time, any Hyde Park Certificates formerly representing shares of Hyde Common Park Stock are presented to the Hyde Park Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Hyde Park Common Stock until such holder shall surrender such Hyde Park Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2. After the surrender of Hyde Park Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2, the holder thereof shall be entitled (in addition to the Hyde Park Merger Consideration issuable to such holder pursuant to this Article II) to any dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which, prior to such surrender, had become payable with respect to the Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for such Hyde Park Common Stock.

A-5

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park Common Stock for 180 days after the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of its claim for the Hyde Park Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive with respect to such Hyde Park Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park Certificates as of the second anniversary of the Hyde Park Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Hyde Park Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Hyde Park Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. None of Hyde Park, the Company, Parent, the Merger Subs or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock from the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Hyde Park Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Hyde Park Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Hyde Park Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.2(d), Parent) will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Hyde Park Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock that would be deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Hyde Park Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article II.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, Parent will be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 2.3 Effect on Company Membership Interests and Merger Sub 2. At the SME Effective Time, by virtue of the SME Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub 2 or any holders of (i) preferred limited liability company interests of the Company (“Company Preferred Membership Interests”) or (ii) common limited liability company interests of the Company (“Company Common Membership Interests” and, together with the Company Preferred Membership Interests, “Company Membership Interests”):

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Membership Interests. All Company Membership Interests that are owned by the Company, Merger Sub 2 or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall automatically be canceled, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Preferred Membership Interests. Subject to the other provisions of Article II, each Company Preferred Membership Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of preferred stock of Parent (the “Parent Preferred Stock” and, together with Parent Common Stock, the “Parent Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (such shares referred to collectively as the “Company Preferred Merger Consideration”). In addition, immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (i) all accrued and unpaid distributions on outstanding Company Preferred

A-6

Membership Interests shall be converted into a maximum of 5,599,212 Company Common Membership Interests, to be held by the Kayne Anderson Parties on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Kayne Anderson Parties’ respective ownership percentages of Company Preferred Membership Interests, and (ii) the fee owed by the Company to the Kayne Anderson Parties as consideration for the guaranty provided by the Kayne Anderson Parties pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012, between the Kayne Anderson Parties and Mutual of Omaha Bank, shall be converted into 500,000 Company Common Membership Interests, to be held by the Kayne Anderson Parties on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Kayne Anderson Parties’ respective ownership percentages of Company Preferred Membership Interests.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Membership Interests. Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each Company Common Membership Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, including all Company Common Membership Interests issued to the Kayne Anderson Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(b) hereto) shall be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to 0.2857 (the “Exchange Ratio”) (such shares the “Company Common Merger Consideration” and, together with the Company Preferred Merger Consideration, the “Company Merger Consideration”).

(d) Cancellation of Profits Interest Units. At the SME Effective Time, by virtue of the SME Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub 2 or any holder of any Profits Interest Unit (as defined below), each Profits Interest Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall automatically terminate and be canceled, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. Not later than immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Profits Interest Plan (as defined below).

(e) Conversion of Merger Sub 2 Membership Interests. At the SME Effective Time, each common limited liability company interest of Merger Sub 2 shall be converted into one common limited liability company interest of SME Surviving LLC.

(f) Cancellation of Parent Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock that are held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Times shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.4 SME Exchange Procedures.

(a) Delivery of Parent Stock. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver as promptly as practicable after the SME Effective Time, in respect of each Company Membership Interest, the shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable (all of which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), as applicable, and such holder shall cease to be a member of the SME Surviving LLC or to have any rights or interests with respect thereto.

(b) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of a Company Membership Interest pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, Parent will be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Membership Interests, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

A-7

Section 2.5 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Mergers, but in lieu thereof, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to each holder of Company Common Membership Interests shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and solely to the extent available to Hyde Park stockholders under Section 262 of the DGCL, Hyde Park Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time and that is held by stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Hyde Park Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal (“Dissent Rights”) for such shares (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock. To the extent Dissent Rights are available pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of the Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of said Section 262 except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Merger Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the shares of Parent Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.1 above. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Hyde Park nor any other Party intends to confer upon any Hyde Park stockholder any right of appraisal or dissenters’ right that is in addition to the rights to which Hyde Park stockholders are expressly entitled under Section 262 of the DGCL by reason of the Hyde Park Merger.

Section 2.7 Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Hyde Park Common Stock that is subject to a valid demand for conversion in accordance with the Hyde Park Organizational Documents (as defined below) and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (“Conversion Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock and such Conversion Shares will represent the right to receive payment of their pro rata portion of the Trust Account in accordance with the Hyde Park Organizational Documents from and after the Effective Times.

Section 2.8 Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (and as permitted by Article V), the outstanding Company Membership Interests or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or units or a different class by reason of any dividend, distribution, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, redemption, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Company Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 2.9 Phantom Equity Plan.

(a) At the SME Effective Time, each award of Phantom Equity Units that is outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall vest in full and shall be terminated and canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Phantom Equity Units subject to such award immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, and (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Membership Unit (each as defined in the Phantom Equity Plan) as of immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (the “Phantom Equity Consideration”). The Company shall pay the Phantom Equity Consideration, less any applicable withholding pursuant to Section 2.2(h), to each former holder of a canceled Phantom Equity Unit at or promptly following the SME Effective Time (but in no event more than ten (10) business days following the SME Effective Time). The payment of the Phantom Equity Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the canceled Phantom Equity Units, and on and after the SME Effective Time, each holder of a Phantom Equity Unit shall have no further rights with respect to any Phantom Equity Unit, other than the right to receive the Phantom Equity Consideration as provided in this Section 2.9(a).

A-8

(b) Not later than immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Phantom Equity Plan.

Section 2.10 Further Assurances. If at any time before or after the Effective Times, Hyde Park or the Company reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Times, then Hyde Park, Parent, the Merger Subs, the Company and the Surviving Companies and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Each of Hyde Park and the Company shall timely take all necessary action, in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent, and shall cause its officers, employees and representatives, in their capacities as directors and officers of Parent, Merger Sub 1 and/or Merger Sub 2, to timely take all necessary action, required to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Neither Hyde Park nor the Company shall, in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent, nor shall Hyde Park or the Company permit its officers, directors, managers or representatives to take, in their capacities as officers and/or directors of Parent, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of Parent, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 to comply with their respective obligations hereunder or would otherwise prohibit, materially delay or impede the Closing or the satisfaction of any condition to either Hyde Park’s or the Company’s obligations to consummate the Closing.

(c) There have been no Releases at any location of Hazardous Materials by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Company’s knowledge, as a result of any operations or activities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any fine, penalty, remediation, investigation, obligation or liability of any kind to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has maintained, established, contributed to, been obligated to contribute to, or otherwise has or had any liability in respect of (i) a pension plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) or 4001 of ERISA), (iii) a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code), other than any PEO Benefit Plan, or (iv) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).

(e) There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened actions, suits, investigations, or claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course, and which have not and are not expected to lead to arbitration or litigation), which have been asserted or instituted against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, any fiduciaries of a Company Benefit Plan with respect to their duties to the Company Benefit Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Company Benefit Plans, which could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan, and there are no facts which could reasonably give rise to any liability, action, suit, investigation, or claim against any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, or any fiduciary or plan administrator or other person dealing with any such Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan or the assets thereof that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability or excise Tax under the provisions under Chapter 43 of the Code which could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, other than a transaction that is exempt under a statutory or administrative exemption) has occurred with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan.

(h) Except as set forth in Section 3.10(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any employee, director, officer or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any material increase in severance pay, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or materially increase the amount of compensation due to any such employee, director, officer or independent contractor, (iii) directly or indirectly cause the Company or any of its

A-14

Subsidiaries to transfer or set aside any assets to fund any material benefits under any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, (iv) otherwise give rise to any material liability to the Company under any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, or (v) limit or restrict the right to merge, materially amend, terminate or transfer the assets of any Company Benefit Plan on or following the Closing Date.

(i) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, either alone or in combination with another event (contingent or otherwise), result in any payment (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, to constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Contract, agreement or arrangement that requires the Company or such Subsidiary to provide a gross-up for taxes owed pursuant to Section 409A or 4999 of the Code.

(j) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company and all of its Subsidiaries have, for purposes of each relevant Company Benefit Plan and PEO Benefit Plan, correctly classified those individuals performing services for such entities as common law employees, leased employees, independent contractors or agents thereof.

Section 5.3 Access to Information. Except as required pursuant to any confidentiality agreement or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Company is subject, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Times or Termination Date, subject to Hyde Park’s undertaking to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep confidential and protect the trade secrets of the Company and its Subsidiaries against any disclosure, the Company shall permit, upon reasonable request, Hyde Park and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to its and its Subsidiaries’ personnel and properties, contracts, commitments, books and records and any report, schedule or other document filed or received by it pursuant to the requirements of applicable Laws and with such additional accounting, financing, operating, environmental and other data and information regarding such party as the other party may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of such party or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which such party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would cause a risk of a loss of privilege to such party or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law. Neither Hyde Park nor any of its officers, employees or representatives, shall be permitted to perform any onsite procedures (including an onsite study or any invasive testing or sampling) with respect to any property of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries without the Company’s prior written consent.

Section 5.4 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries will not, and will cause their respective affiliates, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or enter into discussions or transactions with, or encourage, or provide any information to, any Person (other than Hyde Park) concerning any merger, consolidation, dissolution, business combination, involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the sale of any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business), or the issuance and sale of any securities of, or membership interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) The parties hereto recognize and agree that immediate irreparable damages for which there is not adequate remedy at Law would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 5.4 are not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or are otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that in the event of a failure by a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance through injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to prevent breaches of the provisions and to enforce specifically the provisions of this Section 5.4 in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity.

Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.8 shall be null and void.

Section 8.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without

rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and, subject to Section 5.10, this Agreement is not intended to grant standing to any person other than the parties hereto.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

Section 8.13 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

ANNEX II

Terms of Registration Rights Agreement

The following is a description of certain material terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the securities of Santa Maria Energy Corporation (“Parent”). Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II (“Hyde Park”), Parent, HPAC Merger Sub, Inc., SME Merger Sub, LLC and Santa Maria Energy Holdings, LLC.

Parties and Registrable Securities Kayne Anderson Energy Fund IV and its affiliates and transferees (“Kayne”); holders of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park Common Stock issued prior to the consummation of Hyde Park’s initial public offering (the “Initial Shares”) and their transferees (such holders, the “Initial Shareholders”); and holders of 693,750 shares of Hyde Park Common Stock privately placed simultaneously with Hyde Park’s initial public offering (the “Sponsors’ Shares”) and their transferees (such holders, the “Sponsor Shareholders”). Kayne, the Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor Shareholders shall collectively be referred to as the “Investors” and their respective shares, the “Registrable Securities”.

As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when: (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (b) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by Parent and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (c) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; or (d) the Registrable Securities have been sold in a public sale in accordance with Rule 144. The Company shall take such action as any Investor may reasonably request to the extent required to enable such holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities and shares of Kayne Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent) without registration pursuant to Rule 144.

Demand Registration Rights: At any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date of the Mergers, holders of Registrable Securities representing 5% (the “Required Holders”) or more of the outstanding securities of Parent may make a written demand for registration of the resale (in an underwritten offering or otherwise, as determined by the Required Holders) of all or part of such securities (a “Demand Registration”) on such form of registration statement as the offering shall be eligible and the Required Holders shall demand.

Each Investor shall be entitled to two (2) Demand Registrations.

In the event of a Demand Registration, Parent must notify all Investors of such Demand Registration and any Investors who wish to include their Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration must notify the Parent within 15 days.

Parent may defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty days if failure to do so would be materially detrimental to Parent; provided that Parent will only be entitled to defer a Demand Registration once during any twelve consecutive month period.

Parent will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 180 days after the effective date of a previous registration in which the holders of Registrable Securities were able to register.

Cutbacks required by the underwriters shall be applied on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares initially proposed for inclusion in the offering.

Piggyback Registration Rights: Other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with an employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Parent’s existing shareholders, (iii) for a convertible debt offering, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, each Investor shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights on public offerings of the Parent’s stock pursuant to customary terms and conditions.

Short Form (S-3) Registration Rights: Separate and apart from the Demand Registration rights, if Parent is eligible to file a short form registration statement on Form S-3, holders may demand that Parent file the S-3 (a “Form S-3 Registration”), provided that such holders propose to register at least $10 million of Registrable Securities pursuant to such S-3. Even if Parent is eligible to file a Form S-3, if Parent decides on a different registered offering, it may prohibit use of the Form S-3 within 7 days before or 90 days after the effective date of such registration. In the event of a Form S-3 Registration, Parent must notify all Investors of such Form S-3 Registration and any Investors who wish to include their Registrable Securities in the Form S-3 Registration must notify the Parent within 15 days.

Member Expenses: Parent must bear all costs for any Demand or Piggyback Registration, except that (1) the selling holders must pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions and (2) in an underwritten offering, selling stockholders and Parent must bear expenses of the Underwriter(s) pro rata to the amount of shares sold by each in the offering.

Indemnification and Lock-up: The Agreement shall provide for customary indemnification and lock-up provisions.

Additional Registration Rights for shares acquired in conversion of Kayne Preferred Stock after Default: If the Kayne Preferred Stock is not redeemed timely, then at any time and from time to time after any Kayne Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”), Kayne, its affiliates and transferees may make up to three written demands for registration of all or part of such Conversion Shares (and any other shares of Common Stock owned by Kayne, its affiliates and transferees (a “Kayne Demand Registration”). The other provisions

hereof applicable to a Demand Registration shall also apply with respect to each such Kayne Demand Registration except that:

(i) Neither Parent nor any other Investor shall have the right to participate in any Kayne Demand Registration without Kayne’s consent;

(ii) the 180 day waiting period shall not apply;

(iii) No cutbacks shall be applied to any Kayne Demand Registration;

(iv) no other Investor shall have piggyback rights;

(v) the dollar amount and time limitations applicable to S-3 Registration Rights shall not apply; and

(v) lock up provisions shall not apply.

Private Equity Financing Parent and the Investors will use their reasonable best efforts to modify the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to accommodate any registration rights to be granted in connection with the Private Equity Financing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement).

Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Section 3 refer to sections and subsections of this Section 3. The original purchase price of the Kayne Preferred Stock shall be $1,000.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Kayne Preferred Stock) (the “Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price”).

(a) Dividends.

(i) The holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends on any other class or series of capital stock of the

B-2

Corporation, in respect of each outstanding share of Kayne Preferred Stock, dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Kayne Dividend Rate (as defined below) (the “Kayne Preferred Dividend”), to be paid, at the option of the Corporation, in cash or in a number of additional shares of Kayne Preferred Stock (including fractional shares) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Kayne Preferred Dividend by the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Kayne Preferred Dividend shall be cumulative, shall accrue daily (whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are funds legally available therefor) and shall be payable on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Redemption Date, the holders of outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the Kayne Preferred Dividend in cash on each Dividend Payment Date. Any dividend not paid on the Dividend Payment Date shall be fully cumulative and shall accrue and compound quarterly from the date of such Dividend Payment Date (whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are funds legally available therefor) at the applicable Kayne Dividend Rate and shall be in arrears until paid. The “Kayne Dividend Rate” shall be a rate of 8% per annum; provided that, at any time after the declaration of an Event of Default (as defined below) the Kayne Dividend Rate shall be increased to a rate of 12% per annum, which rate shall increase annually by 100 basis points on each anniversary of the occurrence of such Event of Default; provided that the Kayne Dividend Rate shall not exceed 15% per annum.

(ii) An “Event of Default” means the occurrence or continuance, of any of the following events:

(1) the Corporation fails to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to Subsection 3(e)(i) (for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether or not the Corporation has legally available funds therefor); or

(2) the Corporation shall (i) commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as from time to time in effect; (ii) file an answer or other pleading, admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it commencing an involuntary case under said Title 11, or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the relief therein provided, or by its failing to controvert timely the material allegations of any such petition; (iii) become subject to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case commenced under said Title 11, which order is not being diligently contested by the Corporation; (iv) seek relief as a debtor under any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by its consenting to or acquiescing in such relief; (v) become subject to the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction (x) finding it to be bankrupt or insolvent, (y) ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors, or (z) assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial part of its property, which order is not being diligently contested by the Corporation; or (vi) make an assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition with, its creditors, or appointing or consenting to the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property.

(3) If an Event of Default occurs, each holder of Kayne Preferred Stock shall also have any other rights which such holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

(iii) So long as any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay or declare any dividend, whether in cash or property, or make any other distribution on any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation.

(b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

(i) Preferential Payments to Holders of Kayne Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders

B-3

of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the “Kayne Preferred Liquidation Preference”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 3(b)(i), the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

(ii) Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

(iii) Deemed Liquidation Events.

(1) Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation prior to the effective date of any such event:

(a) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or any other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization;

(b) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Corporation is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred to a single party or group of affiliated parties; or

(c) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

(iv) Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

(1) In any Deemed Liquidation Event, if the consideration to be received is securities of a corporation or other entity or other property other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined by the Board, including the approval of one of the Kayne Directors (as defined below), on the date such determination is made.

(2) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Agreement”) provides

B-4

that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii).

(3) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, the Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

(c) Voting Rights.

(i) Separate Vote of Kayne Capital Advisors. For so long as Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. and/or its affiliates and transferees of Kayne Preferred Stock (collectively, “Kayne Capital Advisors”) holds any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, in addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be necessary for effecting the following actions (whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization or otherwise) and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:

(1) any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (including any filing of a Certificate of Designation) to the extent any such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any of the rights of the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(2) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation or any governing document of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, to the extent any such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any of the rights of the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(3) any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, and any issuance of any Kayne Preferred Stock;

(4) any authorization, issuance or designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise, of any new class or series of Preferred Stock;

(5) any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of dividends or other distributions with respect to Common Stock or Preferred Stock other than dividends required pursuant to Subsection 3(a)(i) hereof or redemptions required by Subsection 3(e) hereof;

(6) any agreement by the Corporation or its stockholders with respect to, or the consummation of, any Deemed Liquidation Event in which the entire Kayne Preferred Liquidation Preference of all outstanding Kayne Preferred Stock is not paid in full in cash;

(7) the incurrence or guarantee, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of any indebtedness, or creating or permitting to exist any of lien, security interest or other encumbrance on the assets of the Corporation, other than senior bank debt from a reputable commercial bank and customary trade debt, in each case approved by the Board of Directors including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors;

(8) the approval of any budget of the Corporation, whether capital, operating or otherwise (a “Budget”), or amendment or modification to any Budget in any material respect, which for the

B-5

purposes of this provision means to initiate deviations therefrom in excess of the greater of 15% in the aggregate and the greater of 10% with respect to the following general categories: general and administrative, net borrowing in such quarter, capital expenditures, asset sales and equity raising, provided that no modifications or increases may be made to any compensation amounts for persons specifically named in such Budget;

(9) any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, or any agreement or commitment to undertake any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, not contemplated by a Budget approved pursuant to Subsection 3(c)(i)(7) or in an amount in excess of the Budgeted amount in any material respect;

(10) any disposition of assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, of greater than 25% of the Proved PV10 in any one year period, except as approved by the Board of Directors including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors, unless the entire proceeds thereof are used to redeem outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(11) any material change to the nature of the Corporation’s business operations;

(12) Any action with respect to any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation that if taken by the Corporation would require approval to Subsection 3(c)(i)(1) through 3(c)(i)(11) above.

(d) Conversion Rights.

The holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock:

(i) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Subsection 3(d), any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder at any time after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Mandatory Redemption Date, be converted into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Kayne Conversion Common Stock”). The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the “Kayne Preferred Conversion Rate” then in effect (determined as provided in Subsection 3(d)(ii)) by the number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted.

(ii) Preferred Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock (the “Kayne Preferred Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price plus any cash dividends that were accrued and unpaid and compounded thereon by (B) eighty percent (80%) of (1) if the Common Stock is listed on a national exchange or quotation system (an “Exchange”) at the time of such conversion, the average of the daily closing prices for the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive full trading days on which such shares are actually traded on such Exchange (as reported by The Wall Street Journal, or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) ending at the close of trading on the date of such conversion, or (2) if the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange at the time of such conversion, the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of such conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors).

(iii) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Kayne Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Subsection 3(d) shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Kayne Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay (i) at the election of the holder, in cash (at the price set forth in Subsection (d)(ii)(B)(1) or (d)(ii)(B)(2), as applicable) or in Common Stock (at the Kayne

B-6

Preferred Conversion Rate), any accrued and unpaid dividends plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted, and (ii) in cash (at the price set forth in Subsection (d)(ii)(B)(1) or (d)(ii)(B)(2), as applicable) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder in such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(iv) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Kayne Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Kayne Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Kayne Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Kayne Preferred Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Kayne Preferred Conversion Price.

(v) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3(d). The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid

(vi) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Kayne Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Kayne Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Kayne Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 3(d) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3(d) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Kayne Preferred Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Subsection 3(d)(vi) shall be construed as preventing the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Subsection 3(e)(vi) be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

B-7

(vii) Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(1) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(2) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

(3) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Kayne Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

(e) Redemption.

(i) Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall redeem all (and not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Kayne Original Issue Price per share, plus any Kayne Preferred Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the “Redemption Price”), on April 30, 2018 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”).

(ii) Optional Redemption. At any time after April 30, 2014, the Corporation may elect by delivering written notice to the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock at least sixty (60) days prior to the desired date of redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”; each of the Mandatory Redemption Date and the Optional Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”) to redeem all (and not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, to the extent that any of the Kayne Preferred Stock has been converted to Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 3(d), the Corporation shall not redeem any of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock until such time as (x) Kayne Capital Advisors beneficially owns less than 50% of the aggregate shares of Kayne Conversion Common Stock issued pursuant to Subsection 3(d)(i) and (y) Kayne Capital Advisors has received an amount in cash (or the fair market value of other property, as determined by Kayne Capital Advisors, in good faith) as consideration for the sale of Kayne Conversion Common Stock greater than or equal to the Original Issue Price of all shares of Kayne Preferred Stock originally issued to Kayne Capital Advisors, plus all accrued and unpaid and all declared and unpaid interest thereon. For purposes of Clause (y) in the preceding sentence, shares of Kayne Conversion Common Stock transferred to a person or entity which is not an affiliate of the Transferor shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Kayne Capital Advisors.

(iii) Insufficient Funds. The Corporation shall apply all of its assets to any redemption set forth in Subsections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii), and to no other corporate purpose from and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. If Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be

B-8

redeemed, the Corporation shall (A) ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law and (B) take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to remove as promptly as practicable any impediments to its ability to redeem the total number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock required to be so redeemed, including, without limitation, (1) reducing the stated capital of the Corporation or causing a revaluation of the assets of the Corporation under Section 154 of the DGCL to create sufficient surplus to make such redemption and (2) incurring indebtedness necessary to make such redemption. The shares of Kayne Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein.

(iv) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.

(v) Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock following redemption.

(f) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Section 3 to be given to a holder of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

Section 4. Preferred Stock. Provided that the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Kayne Preferred Stock has been obtained pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) hereof, the Board is authorized to provide for the issuance from time to time of additional shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series by filing a certificate of the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, (a “Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, as are stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof adopted by the Board (as such resolutions may be amended by a resolution or resolutions subsequently adopted by the Board), and as are not stated and expressed in this Certificate of Incorporation, including, but not limited to, determination of any of the following:

(a) the distinctive designation of the series, whether by number, letter or title, and the number of shares which will constitute the series, which number may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding and except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) from time to time by action of the Board;

(b) the dividend rate, if any, and the times of payment of dividends, if any, on the shares of the series, whether such dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from what date or dates, and the relation which such dividends, if any, shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock;

(c) the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which, the shares of the series may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation;

(d) whether or not the shares of the series will be entitled to the benefit of a retirement or sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of such shares and, if so entitled, the amount of such fund and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

B-9

(e) the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of the shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

(g) whether or not the shares of the series will have priority over or be on a parity with or be junior to the shares of any other series or class of stock in any respect, or will be entitled to the benefit of limitations restricting the issuance of shares of any other series or class of stock, restricting the payment of dividends on or the making of other distributions in respect of shares of any other series or class of stock ranking junior to the shares of the series as to dividends or assets, or restricting the purchase or redemption of the shares of any such junior series or class, and the terms of any such restriction;

(h) whether or not the shares of the series will have voting rights in addition to any voting rights provided and, if so, the terms of such voting rights; and

The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall be as determined from time to time solely by a majority of the Board; provided, that in no event shall the total number of directors constituting the entire Board be less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15). The number of directors on the Board shall initially be seven (7).

The Kayne Directors may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. Any person serving as a Kayne Director shall, automatically and without any further action by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Corporation, cease to be qualified to serve as, and cease to be a director of, the Corporation when no shares of Kayne Preferred Stock are outstanding.

(b) The holders of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect all remaining members of the Board of Directors that are up for election (the “Common Directors”) at each meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors.

B-10

(c) If the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to Subsection 3(a), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class.

Section 4. The Common Directors. The Common Directors shall be and are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of Common Directors, the number of Common Directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Each Common Director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, that each director initially appointed to Class I shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2015; each director initially appointed to Class II shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2016; and each director initially appointed to Class III shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2017; provided, further, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of his successor and be subject to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Except as otherwise provided by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), a majority of the total number of directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, but in no event shall less than one-third of the directors constitute a quorum. A majority of the directors present (though less than such quorum) may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

Section 6. Manner of Acting. Every act or decision done or made by the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board, unless the act of a greater number is required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, in each case as the same may be amended and supplemented.

Section 7. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, any vacancy or newly created directorships in the Board, however occurring, shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, except as otherwise provided by law, and shall not be filled by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that only the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock, in accordance with Section 3(a), shall be entitled to fill a vacancy in the seats held by the Kayne Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, subject to the election and qualification of a successor and to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

If any applicable provision of the DGCL expressly confers power on stockholders to fill such a directorship at a special meeting of stockholders, such a directorship may be filled at such meeting only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors.

B-11

Section 8. Removal of Common Directors and Resignation of Directors. Common Directors may be removed only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 ²⁄₃% of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors.

(b) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places, and under what conditions and regulations, the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to inspection of stockholders; and, except as so determined or as expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or in any Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation other than such rights as may be conferred by applicable law.

Any repeal or amendment or modification of this Article IX by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only, and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of any director of the Corporation at the time of such repeal or amendment or modification or adoption of such inconsistent provision. If any provision of the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION; ADVANCEMENT

(a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was, at any time during which this Certificate of Incorporation is in effect (whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time any indemnification or payment of expenses pursuant hereto is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was at any such time serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Article X, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall include the right, without the need for any action by the Board, to be paid by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, the “undertaking”) by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal (a “final disposition”) that such director or officer is not entitled to

B-13

be indemnified for such expenses under this Article X or otherwise. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article X shall be contract rights between the Corporation and each indemnitee to whom such rights are extended that vest at the commencement of such person’s service to or at the request of the Corporation and all such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or ceased to serve at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as described herein, and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(b) To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (b), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows if there is a dispute between the Corporation and the claimant with respect to the claimant’s rights to indemnification hereunder: (i) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (C) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by a majority of the stockholders of the Corporation by Independent Counsel. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a “Change of Control” as defined in the Santa Maria Energy Corporation 2014 Performance Incentive Plan in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.

(c) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Article X has been received by the Corporation (except in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, for which the applicable period is twenty (20) days), the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or that the claimant is not entitled to the requested advancement of expenses, but (except where the required undertaking, if any, has not been tendered to the Corporation) the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Article X that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Article X.

(e) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Article X that the procedures and presumptions of this Article X are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article X.

B-14

(f) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article X: (i) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise and (ii) cannot be terminated by the Corporation, the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination. Any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of this Article X that in any way diminishes, limits, restricts, adversely affects or eliminates any right of an indemnitee or his or her successors to indemnification, advancement of expenses or otherwise shall be prospective only and shall not, without the written consent of the indemnitee, in any way diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such right with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission.

(g) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such current or former director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights to indemnification have been granted as provided in paragraph (h) of this Article X, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such current or former director, officer, employee or agent.

(h) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any current or former employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of current or former directors and officers of the Corporation.

(i) If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

(j) For purposes of this Article X:

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

(ii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporate law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Article X.

(k) Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Article X shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE XIV OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS SUCH MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, TRANSFERS OF SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK ARE RESTRICTED. THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS A COPY OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.

(d) Lock-Up Periods. During the period commencing on the closing date of the Mergers (the “Closing Date”) and until the earlier of: (i) the Corporation’s consummation of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Corporation’s stockholders having the right to exchange the shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder for cash, securities or other property following the Closing Date and (ii) (y) in respect of the Sponsor Shareholders, thirty days after the Closing Date (the “Thirty-Day Lock-Up Period”) or (z) in respect of the Initial Shareholders and the Former SME Unitholders, one year after the Closing Date (the “One-Year Lock-Up Period” and, together with the Thirty-Day Lock-Up Period, the “Lock-Up Periods”), each Former Interestholder shall not (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any shares of Common Stock that such Former Interestholder received as consideration pursuant to the Mergers (the “Restricted Shares”), (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, the Restricted Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (C) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (A) or (B); provided, however, if the Corporation’s share price reaches or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the Lock-Up Periods, 50% of each Former Interestholder’s Restricted Shares will be released from the lock-up and, if the Corporation’s share price reaches or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period during the Lock-Up Periods, the remaining 50% of each Former Interestholder’s Restricted Shares shall be released from the lock-up (as such price of $12.50 and $15.00 may be adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Former Interestholder may transfer the Restricted Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Restricted Shares (i) if the Former Interestholder is an entity, as a distribution to partners, members or stockholders of the Former Interestholder upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Former Interestholder, (ii) by bona fide gift to a member of the Former Interestholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Former Interestholder or a member of the Former Interestholder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Former Interestholder, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) pursuant to a firmly written secondary offering of Common Stock offered by the Corporation, which the Corporation may do in its sole discretion; or (vi) if the Board, by resolution adopted by the Board, releases or waives the Former Interestholders from the restrictions found in this Article XIV; provided, however, that, in the cases of clauses (i) through (iv), these permitted transferees enter into a written agreement with the Corporation agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Article XIV.

B-18

(f) Any purported transfer of Restricted Shares (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the original issuance of such shares by the Corporation), shall be void and ineffective, and, to the extent that the Corporation knows of any such purported transfer, neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall register such purported transfer on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall recognize the purported transferee thereof as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever except to the extent necessary to effect any remedy available to the Corporation under this Article XIV. In no event shall any such registration or recognition make such purported transfer effective unless the Board shall have expressly and specifically authorized the same.

SECTION 2.2 Special Meeting. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock of the Corporation as to dividends or upon liquidation (“Preferred Stock”) with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board or by a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the “Whole Board”) pursuant to a resolution approved by the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

(2) Without qualification or limitation, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to paragraph (A)(1)(c) of this Bylaw, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the

C-2

announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. In addition, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting, any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this paragraph (A)(2) or paragraph (B)) to the Secretary must: (a) set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner, if any, and of their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder, such beneficial owner, and of their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, any derivative or synthetic arrangement having the characteristics of a long position in any class or series of shares of the Corporation, or any contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions designed to produce economic benefits and risks that correspond substantially to the ownership of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, including due to the fact that the value of such contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions is determined by reference to the price, value or volatility of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument, contract or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise, through the delivery of cash or other property, or otherwise, and without regard of whether the stockholder of record, the beneficial owner, if any, or any affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, may have entered into transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of such instrument, contract or right (any of the foregoing, a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, or any affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement, engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such stockholder, the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of any class or series of the shares of the Corporation by, manage the risk of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder with respect to any class or series of the shares of the Corporation, or which provides, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the price or value of any security of the Corporation (any of the foregoing, a “Short Interest”), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner of such general or limited partnership, (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset- based fee) that such stockholder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without

C-3

limitation any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s immediate family sharing the same household, (H) any significant equity interests or any Derivative Instruments or Short Interests in any principal competitor of the Corporation held by such stockholder, and (I) any direct or indirect interest of such stockholder in any contract with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any principal competitor of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), and (iii) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement and form of proxy or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; (c) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.8 of these Bylaws. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Bylaw to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or otherwise by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected

C-4

pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw as to such nomination. The immediately preceding sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before a special meeting of stockholders. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Bylaw with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.8 of this Bylaw) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(C) General.

(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Bylaw, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to make a nomination or present a proposal of other business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Bylaw, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(2) For purposes of this Bylaw, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to paragraph (A)(1)(c) or paragraph (B) of this Bylaw. Nothing in this Bylaw shall be deemed to affect

C-5

any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation’s proxy statement any nomination of director or directors or any other business proposal.

SECTION 2.8 Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement. To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.7 of these Bylaws) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein and (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.

SECTION 2.9 Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote. Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall elect directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

SECTION 2.10 Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law.

The Chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

SECTION 2.11 Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission.

C-6

SECTION 2.12 Remote Meetings. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

(A) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(B) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided, that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

In the case of any annual meeting of stockholders or any special meeting of stockholders called upon order of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communications as authorized by this Section 2.12.

ARTICLE III.

SECTION 3.2 Number, Tenure and Qualifications. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the 2015 annual meeting, (i) directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, and (ii) if authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, directors may be elected to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors, regardless of how such vacancy shall have been created.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice of such meeting, except for amendments to these Bylaws, as provided under Section 8.1. A meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in accordance with Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

SECTION 3.6 Action by Consent of Board of Directors. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting without further notice. The vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall require the vote of a greater number. The directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 3.9 Vacancies. Subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, and unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, vacancies resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

The Executive Committee and each such other committee shall consist of two or more directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or

disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, other than the Executive Committee (the powers of which are expressly provided for herein), may to the extent permitted by law exercise such powers and shall have such responsibilities as shall be specified in the designating resolution. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Each committee shall keep written minutes of its proceedings and shall report such proceedings to the Board when required.

A majority of any committee may determine its action and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the Board shall otherwise provide. Notice of such meetings shall be given to each member of the committee in the manner provided for in Section 3.5 of these Bylaws. The Board shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve any such committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board from appointing one or more committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who are not directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board.

SECTION 3.11 Records. The Board of Directors shall cause to be kept a record containing the minutes of the proceedings of the meetings of the Board and of the stockholders, appropriate stock books and registers and such books of records and accounts as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Corporation.

STOCK CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFERS

SECTION 5.1 Certificated and Uncertificated Stock; Transfers. The interest of each stockholder of the Corporation may be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock in such form as the appropriate officers of the Corporation may from time to time prescribe or be uncertificated.

The shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, in the case of certificated shares of stock, by the holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for at least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require; and, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.

The certificates of stock shall be signed, countersigned and registered in such manner as the Board of Directors may by resolution prescribe, which resolution may permit all or any of the signatures on such certificates to be in facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, at all times that the Corporation’s stock is listed on a stock exchange, the shares of the stock of the Corporation shall comply with all direct registration system eligibility requirements established by such exchange, including any requirement that shares of the Corporation’s stock be eligible for issue in book-entry form. All issuances and transfers of shares of the Corporation’s stock shall be entered on the books of the Corporation with all information necessary to comply with such direct registration system eligibility requirements, including the name and address of the person to whom the shares of stock are issued, the number of shares of stock issued and the date of issue.

Whenever any notice is required to be given to any stockholder or director of the Corporation under the provisions of the DGCL or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board of Directors or committee thereof need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting.

The accounts, books and records of the Corporation shall be audited upon the conclusion of each fiscal year by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Board of Directors, and it shall be the duty of the Board of Directors to cause such audit to be done annually.

SECTION 6.6 Resignations. Any director or any officer, whether elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, and such resignation shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date said notice is received by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary, or at such later time as is specified therein. No formal action shall be required of the Board of Directors or the stockholders to make any such resignation effective.

CONTRACTS, PROXIES, ETC.

ANNEX D

Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

§ 262. Appraisal rights.

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title and, subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, § 251(h)), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 251(h), § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(4) In the event of an amendment to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e), shall apply as nearly as

D-1

practicable, with the word “amendment” substituted for the words “merger or consolidation” and the word “corporation” substituted for the words “constituent corporation” and/or “surviving or resulting corporation”.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the mailing date of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated

D-2

by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive

D-3

of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Limitation of Liability

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, permits a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability:

• for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders;

• for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

• in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; and

• for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article IX of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter that will be in effect as of the consummation of the merger, provides that that no director shall be personally liable to Santa Maria Energy Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter is to eliminate Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s rights and those of its stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except as restricted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. However, this provision does not limit or eliminate Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter, the liability of the Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s directors to the Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of provisions of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter provides that a director of Santa Maria Energy Corporation shall not be personally liable to Santa Maria Energy Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended.

If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, then the liability of a director to Santa Maria Energy Corporation or its stockholders shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Any repeal or amendment to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter by the stockholders of Santa Maria Energy Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other inconsistent provision to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter will, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits Santa Maria Energy Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors) and will not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of Santa Maria Energy Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with

II-1

respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Indemnification

Section 145(a) of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or his service, at the corporation’s request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, provided that indemnification provided for by Section 145 of the DGCL or granted pursuant thereto shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled, and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter provides that Santa Maria Energy Corporation will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify its current and former directors and officers, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of Santa Maria Energy Corporation, are or were serving as a director or officer or is or was at any such time serving at the request of Santa Maria Energy Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by Santa Maria Energy Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by Santa Maria Energy Corporation (and any successor of Santa Maria Energy Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or

II-2

penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person eligible for indemnification pursuant to Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter will be indemnified by Santa Maria Energy Corporation in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification.

The right to indemnification conferred by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by Santa Maria Energy Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter may have or hereafter acquire under law, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise and cannot be terminated by Santa Maria Energy Corporation, its board of directors or its stockholders with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter affecting indemnification rights, whether by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws also permits Santa Maria Energy Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those set forth in Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s charter. In addition, Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws provide for a right of indemnitee to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by Santa Maria Energy Corporation within a specified period of time.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by Santa Maria Energy Corporation’s board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Upon consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. These agreements will require Santa Maria Energy Corporation to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to Santa Maria Energy Corporation, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Santa Maria Energy Corporation also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors.

Under the Merger Agreement, Santa Maria Energy Corporation agreed that the charter and bylaws (or operating agreement or other equivalent governing instruments) of Santa Maria Energy Corporation and each of its subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification than are set forth in the charter, bylaws, operating agreement, or equivalent instruments, as applicable, of such entities as of the date of

II-3

the Merger Agreement. Such indemnification provisions may not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the closing date of the merger in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of individuals who at or prior to the closing date of the merger were directors, officers, managers, managing members, agents or employees of Santa Maria Energy or any of Santa Maria Energy’s subsidiaries (except for certain excluded subsidiaries), or who were otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the charter and bylaws (or equivalent governing instruments) of such entities. Santa Maria Energy Corporation also agreed to cause (including by paying premiums on the current insurance policies) to be maintained in effect for six years after the consummation of the merger the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability or equivalent insurance maintained by or on behalf of Santa Maria Energy and its subsidiaries (except for certain excluded subsidiaries) with respect to matters occurring prior to the closing of the merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Santa Maria Energy Corporation may substitute for such coverage policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than the existing policies (including with respect to the period covered). In addition, Santa Maria Energy Corporation agreed that it will indemnify each individual who served as a director, officer, manager or managing member of Santa Maria Energy and its subsidiaries (except for certain excluded subsidiaries) at any time prior to the consummation of the merger and against all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, claims and similar actions, including all court costs and reasonable attorney fees and expenses resulting from or arising out of, or caused by, the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Santa Maria Energy Corporation also agreed that after the consummation of the merger, Santa Maria Energy Corporation will cause its subsidiaries to provide indemnification to the directors and officers of Hyde Park who serve in such capacity prior to the consummation of the merger to the same extent as provided to such persons as of the date of the merger. Such indemnification provisions may not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the consummation of the merger in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such persons as of the date of the Merger Agreement.

Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Santa Maria Energy Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Santa Maria Energy Corporation has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(2) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(3) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-6

(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(e) For the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(1) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(2) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(3) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(4) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(f) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(g) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus that is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(h) That every prospectus (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-7

(i) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(j) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(k) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

FORM OF

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of [            ], 2014 by and between Santa Maria Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [            ] (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, directors, officers and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the corporation or business enterprise itself;

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as may be amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (as may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, (ii) Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and (iii) the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder, and

WHEREAS, (i) Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, (ii) Indemnitee may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer without adequate protection, (iii) the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity and (iv) Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions.

(a) As used in this Agreement:

“Corporate Status” describes Indemnitee’s past, present or future status as a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent of (i) the Company or (ii) any other Enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company.

“Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any of its subsidiaries and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent.

“Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Expenses” shall mean all reasonable direct and indirect costs, expenses, fees and charges (including attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees and costs of experts and consultants, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses) of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include (i) expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from, incurred by Indemnitee in connection with, arising out of respect of or relating to any Proceeding, including the premium, security for and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond or other appeal bond or its equivalent, (ii) for purposes of Section 11(d) only, expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise, (iii) any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement and (iv) any interest, assessments or other charges in respect of the foregoing. The parties agree that for purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

“Indemnity Obligations” shall mean all obligations of the Company to Indemnitee under this Agreement, including the Company’s obligations to provide indemnification to Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

2

“Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements) or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

“Liabilities” means (i) all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments (including pre- and post-judgment interest), orders, fines, penalties and other amounts payable in connection with, arising out of, in respect of or relating to any Proceeding, including amounts paid in settlement in any Proceeding and all costs and expenses in complying with any judgment, order or decree issued or entered in connection with any Proceeding or any settlement agreement, stipulation or consent decree entered into or issued in settlement of any Proceeding.

“Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust, governmental agency or body or any other legal entity.

“Proceeding” shall mean any actual, threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit, counterclaim, cross claim, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism (including voluntary or court-ordered mediation), formal or informal hearing, inquiry or investigation (whether instituted by or on behalf of the Company, the Board, a governmental agency or other Person), litigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened, pending or completed judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding (including any such proceeding under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law, statute or regulation), whether brought by or in the name or right of the Company or otherwise, and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in each case, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be, or is threatened to be, involved as a party, witness or otherwise by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any actual or alleged action taken by Indemnitee or of any inaction on Indemnitee’s part while having any Corporate Status, in each case, whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any Liability or Expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement. If the Indemnitee believes in good faith that a given situation may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, this shall be considered a Proceeding under this paragraph.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) references to “fines” shall include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan, (ii) references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries, including as a deemed fiduciary thereto, (iii) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement and (iv) wherever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

3

Section 2. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Liabilities and Expenses suffered or incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding (other than any Proceeding brought by or in the name or right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including any indemnification provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors or applicable law.

Section 3. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Name or Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Liabilities and Expenses suffered or incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding brought by or in the name or right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Liabilities and Expenses shall be made under this Section 3 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

Section 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, and without limiting the rights of Indemnitee under any other provision hereof, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that (i) Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) any Proceeding, (ii) the Company is not permitted by applicable law to indemnify Indemnitee with respect to any claim brought in such Proceeding if such claim is asserted successfully against Indemnitee and (iii) Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise (including settlement thereof), as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, then the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Liabilities and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding. For purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any Proceeding or claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by settlement, entry of a plea of nolo contendere or by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

4

Section 5. Indemnification For Expenses as a Witness or for the Production of Documents Pursuant to Subpoena or Other Legal Compulsion; Partial Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party or (ii) compelled to produce documents or other evidence pursuant to subpoena or other legal compulsion, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Liabilities and Expenses suffered or incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

Section 6. Additional Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding any limitation in Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the name or right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Liabilities and Expenses suffered or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding:

i. to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL, and

ii. to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local laws; provided, however, that this Section 6(b) shall not negate Indemnitee’s right to the advancement of Expenses unless and to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that Indemnitee violated Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local laws and must disgorge profits in connection with such violation; provided further, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated or implied in this Section 6(b), indemnification pursuant to this Agreement relating to any Proceeding against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local laws shall not be prohibited if Indemnitee ultimately establishes in a final, non-appealable judgment, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that no recovery of such profits from Indemnitee is permitted under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local laws.

5

Section 7. Advancement of Expenses. In accordance with the pre-existing provision of Article X of the Certificate of Incorporation, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made no later than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay such advances if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

Section 8. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding. To obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. Any delay or failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company hereunder will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay or failure in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has made such a request.

(b) In the event Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, Indemnitee may, at Indemnitee’s option, (i) retain counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to represent Indemnitee in, and with respect to, such Proceeding, at the sole expense of the Company or (ii) have the Company assume the defense of Indemnitee in such Proceeding, in which case the Company shall assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel selected by the Company and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of Indemnitee’s election to cause the Company to do so. If the Company is required to assume the defense of any such Proceeding, it shall engage legal counsel for such defense, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all fees and expenses of such legal counsel and otherwise of such defense. Such legal counsel may represent both Indemnitee and the Company (and/or any other party or parties entitled to be indemnified by the Company with respect to such matter) unless, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to

6

Indemnitee, there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company (or any other such party or parties) or there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are not available to the Company (or any such other party or parties). Notwithstanding either party’s assumption of responsibility for defense of a Proceeding, each party shall have the right to engage separate counsel at its own expense. The party having responsibility for defense of a Proceeding shall provide the other party and its counsel with all copies of pleadings and material correspondence relating to the Proceeding. Indemnitee and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any Proceeding with respect to which indemnification is sought hereunder, regardless of whether the Company or Indemnitee assumes the defense thereof. Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company may not settle or compromise any Proceeding without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a), the Company shall advance all reasonable fees and expenses necessary to defend against a Proceeding pursuant to the undertaking set forth in Section 7 hereof. If any determination by the Company is required by applicable law with respect to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification, such determination shall be made (i) if Indemnitee shall request such determination be made by Independent Counsel, by Independent Counsel and (ii) in all other circumstances, in any manner permitted by the DGCL. Subject to Section 9(c) and Section 10 hereof, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make such determination within thirty (30) days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Person making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such Person upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Person making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. The Company will not deny any written request for indemnification hereunder made by Indemnitee unless an adverse determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification described in this Section 9(a) has been made. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. The Company shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a favorable determination of Indemnitee’s entitlements.

(b) In the event any determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, (i) the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company within ten (10) days of the Submission Date (the cost of each such counsel to be paid by the Company), (ii) the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee

7

advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and (iii) Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company Indemnitee’s written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement. Absent a timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made by Indemnitee, the person so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to before the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof (the “Submission Date”) and (ii) ten (10) days after the final disposition of the Proceeding, each of the Company and Indemnitee shall select a law firm or member of a law firm meeting the qualifications to serve as Independent Counsel, and such law firms or members of law firms shall select the Independent Counsel. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding; provided, that, in absence of any such determination with respect to such Proceeding, the Company shall pay Liabilities and advance Expenses with respect to such Proceeding as if the Company had determined Indemnitee to be entitled to indemnification and advancement of Expenses with respect to such Proceeding.

Section 10. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any Person of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) If the Person empowered or selected under Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent a

8

prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if (i) the determination is to be made by Independent Counsel and Indemnitee objects to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and (ii) the Independent Counsel ultimately selected requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.

(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(d) Effect of Settlement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, settlement of any Proceeding without any finding of responsibility, wrongdoing or guilt on the part of Indemnitee with respect to claims asserted in such Proceeding shall constitute a conclusive determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Proceeding.

(e) Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, employees, board (or committees thereof) or agents of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, on the advice of legal counsel or other advisors (including financial advisors and accountants) for the Enterprise, on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, actuary or other expert or advisor selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 10(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(f) Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 11. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 or the penultimate sentence of Section 9(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to

9

Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (vi) in the event that the Company or any other Person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification and/or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement, any other agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

Section 12. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and/or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Proceeding, Expense, Liability or matter that is the subject of the Indemnity Obligations, (ii) the Company shall be primarily liable for all Indemnification Obligations and any indemnification afforded to Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding, Expense, Liability or matter that is the subject of Indemnity Obligations, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise, (iii) any obligation of any other Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated to indemnify Indemnitee and/or advance Expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations of the Company hereunder, (iv) the Company shall be required to indemnify Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or insurer of any such Person and (v) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Company hereunder, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. In the event any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers advances or extinguishes any liability or loss which is the subject of any Indemnity Obligation owed by the Company or payable under any insurance policy provided under this Agreement, the payor shall have a right of subrogation against the Company or its insurer or insurers for all amounts so paid which would otherwise be payable by the Company or its insurer or insurers under this Agreement. In no event will payment of an Indemnity Obligation of the Company under this Agreement by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or shift primary liability for any Indemnity Obligation to any other Person

11

with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated. Any indemnification and/or insurance or advancement of Expenses provided by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated with respect to any liability arising as a result of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or capacity as an officer or director of any Person is specifically in excess over any Indemnity Obligation of the Company or any valid and collectible insurance (including but not limited to any malpractice insurance or professional errors and omissions insurance) provided by the Company under this Agreement, and any obligation to provide indemnification and/or insurance or advance Expenses of any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated shall be reduced by any amount that Indemnitee collects from the Company as an indemnification payment or advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall not be subrogated to and hereby waives any rights to be subrogated to any rights of recovery of Indemnitee, including rights of indemnification provided to Indemnitee from any other Person with whom Indemnitee may be associated as well as any rights to contribution that might otherwise exist; provided, however, that the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of any such payment of all rights of recovery of Indemnitee under insurance policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Indemnitee.

Section 13. Duration of Agreement; Not Employment Contract. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the latest of: (i) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent of the Company or (at the request of the Company) any other Enterprise and (ii) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any action or proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by

12

written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other Enterprise), if any, is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other Enterprise), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director of the Company, by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL.

Section 14. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

Section 15. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, employee or agent of the Company or (at the request of the Company) any other Enterprise.

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefore, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

(c) The parties hereto agree that each party hereto may enforce this Agreement by seeking specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing irreparable harm or posting a bond, which requirements are hereby waived, and that by seeking specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled.

13

Section 16. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties hereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of a party hereunder (including the right to enforce the obligations hereunder of the other parties) may be waived only with the written consent of such party, and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Section 17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received:

(a) If to Indemnitee, at the address indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, or such other address as Indemnitee shall provide to the Company.

(b) If to the Company to:

2811 Airpark Drive

Santa Maria, California 93455

Attention: Beth Marino

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.

Section 18. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company and any other Enterprise (and their other respective directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

Section 19. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules that would require the application of any other laws. The Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Chancery Court declines to

14

accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Chosen Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

Section 21. Miscellaneous. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

We consider your continued contributions to the Company essential to the success of the Mergers and in order to encourage your continued dedication through the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), we have determined that you will be eligible to receive a transaction bonus in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this letter.

1. Bonus. Subject to your continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries until at least immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company will pay you a bonus (the “Bonus”) equal to the amount that you would have been entitled to receive under the Company’s 2008 Phantom Equity Plan (the “Plan”) had you held an award of twenty (20) fully vested Phantom Equity Units (as defined in the Plan) immediately prior to the SME Effective Time. The Bonus will be paid to you in a single lump-sum payment (in cash, securities of equal value or a combination thereof, as agreed to by you and the Company) immediately prior to, at or promptly following the SME Effective Time, but in no event more than ten (10) business days following the SME Effective Time. In the event that, prior to the SME Effective Time, your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason, your right to the Bonus will be forfeited, you will have no right to receive any portion of the Bonus, and the Company will have no further obligations to you under this letter.

2. Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amount payable under this letter such federal, state, or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

3. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this letter shall (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or its affiliates, (ii) constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or (iii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company and its affiliates to terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.

4. Entire Agreement; Effectiveness. This letter constitutes the entire and complete agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all other agreement or arrangements, whether oral or written, between the Company and you (or any predecessor or representative thereof) with respect to the subject

matter hereof. This letter shall become effective as of the Closing. If the Closing does not occur for any reason or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this letter shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

5. Governing Law. This letter shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

Exhibit 99.3

January 31, 2014

Mr. Kevin Yung

Santa Maria Energy, LLC

2811 Airpark Drive

Santa Maria, California 93455

Dear Mr. Yung:

In accordance with your request, we have estimated the proved, probable, and possible reserves and future revenue, as of December 31, 2013, to the Santa Maria Energy, LLC (SME) interest in certain oil and gas properties located in Orcutt Field, Santa Barbara County, California, as listed in the accompanying tabulations. We completed our evaluation on or about the date of this letter. It is our understanding that the proved reserves estimated in this report constitute all of the proved reserves owned by SME. The estimates in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, with the exception of the exclusion of future income taxes, conform to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas. Definitions are presented immediately following this letter.

We estimate the net reserves and future net revenue to the SME interest in these properties, as of December 31, 2013, to be:

	Net Reserves				Future Net Revenue (M$)
Category	Oil (MBBL)		Gas (MMCF)		Total		Present Worth at 10%
Proved Developed Producing		1,696.1		107.8		75,599.8		31,494.0
Proved Developed Non-Producing		371.4		0.0		23,702.1		10,792.3
Proved Undeveloped		13,569.4		0.0		546,677.7		223,402.0
Total Proved		15,636.9		107.8		645,979.6		265,688.3
Probable Undeveloped		12,314.6		0.0		568,819.6		235,334.7
Possible Undeveloped		19,964.3		0.0		1,242,788.4		517,547.6

The oil volumes shown include crude oil only. Oil volumes are expressed in thousands of barrels (MBBL); a barrel is equivalent to 42 United States gallons. Gas volumes are expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at standard temperature and pressure bases. Estimates of net gas reserves do not include the substantial portion of produced gas that is flared or consumed in field operations.

The estimates shown in this report are for proved, probable, and possible reserves. This report does not include any value that could be attributed to interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which undeveloped reserves have been estimated. Reserves categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status. The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk.

As shown in the Table of Contents, this report includes summary projections of reserves and revenue by reserves category. Included for each reservoir are reserves and economics data by reserves category; these data include a summary projection of reserves and revenue along with one-line summaries of basic data, reserves, and economics by lease.

Gross revenue shown in this report is SME’s share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue is after deductions for SME’s share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes. The future net revenue has been discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent to determine its present worth, which is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties.

Oil prices used in this report are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period January through December 2013. For properties producing in the Diatomite Reservoir, the average Chevron Crude Oil Marketing Midway Sunset posted price of $101.10 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and a regional price differential. For properties producing in the Monterey Reservoir, the average Buena Vista Hills posted price of $103.30 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and a regional price differential. The fixed contract gas price of $1.78 per MMBTU is adjusted for energy content. Gas sales are scheduled to end April 30, 2015. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. For the proved reserves, the average adjusted product prices weighted by production over the remaining lives of the properties are $100.61 per barrel of oil and $1.958 per MCF of gas.

Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of SME, the operator of the properties. As requested, operating costs are limited to direct lease- and field-level costs and SME’s estimate of the portion of its headquarters general and administrative overhead expenses necessary to operate the properties. Operating costs have been divided into field-level costs, per-well costs, and per-unit-of-production costs. The field-level costs are allocated by year among the proved reserves categories based on proportionate share of the total proved future net revenue. Estimates of proved developed producing reserves and revenue are consequently dependent on SME completing the proved drilling and workover programs scheduled in this report. Operating costs are not escalated for inflation.

Capital costs used in this report were provided by SME and are based on authorizations for expenditure and actual costs from recent activity. Capital costs are included as required for workovers, new development wells, and production equipment. Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. As requested, our estimates do not include any salvage value for the lease and well equipment or the cost of abandoning the developed properties. For the undeveloped locations, abandonment costs used in this report are SME’s estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and production facilities, net of any salvage value. Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

For the purposes of this report, we did not perform any field inspection of the properties, nor did we examine the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and facilities. We have not investigated possible environmental liability related to the properties; therefore, our estimates do not include any costs due to such possible liability.

We have made no investigation of potential volume and value imbalances resulting from overdelivery or underdelivery to the SME interest. Therefore, our estimates of reserves and future revenue do not include adjustments for the settlement of any such imbalances; our projections are based on SME receiving its net revenue interest share of estimated future gross production.

The reserves shown in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of engineering and geoscience data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible; probable and possible reserves are those additional reserves which are sequentially less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. Estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of market conditions, future operations, changes in regulations, or actual reservoir performance. In addition to the primary economic assumptions discussed herein, our estimates are based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, that the properties will be developed consistent with current development plans, that the properties will be operated in a prudent manner, that no governmental

regulations or controls will be put in place that would impact the ability of the interest owner to recover the reserves, and that our projections of future production will prove consistent with actual performance. If the reserves are recovered, the revenues therefrom and the costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts. Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the sales rates, prices received for the reserves, and costs incurred in recovering such reserves may vary from assumptions made while preparing this report.

For the purposes of this report, we used technical and economic data including, but not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests. The reserves in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods; these estimates have been prepared in accordance with the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Standards). We used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of methods, including performance analysis, volumetric analysis, and analogy, that we considered to be appropriate and necessary to categorize and estimate reserves in accordance with SEC definitions and regulations. A substantial portion of these reserves are for non-producing zones and undeveloped locations; such reserves are based on estimates of reservoir volumes and recovery efficiencies along with analogy to properties with similar geologic and reservoir characteristics. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering and geoscience data; therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgment.

The data used in our estimates were obtained from SME, public data sources, and the nonconfidential files of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. and were accepted as accurate. Supporting work data are on file in our office. We have not examined the titles to the properties or independently confirmed the actual degree or type of interest owned. The technical persons responsible for preparing the estimates presented herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the SPE Standards. We are independent petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists; we do not own an interest in these properties nor are we employed on a contingent basis.

Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers’ fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an “analogous reservoir” refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:

(i) Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);

(ii) Same environment of deposition;

(iii) Similar geological structure; and

(iv) Same drive mechanism.

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Supplemental definitions from the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System:

Developed Producing Reserves – Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the time of the estimate. Improved recovery reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation.

Developed Non-Producing Reserves – Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and behind-pipe Reserves. Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not yet started producing, (2) wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells which will require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to start of production. In all cases, production can be initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well.

(7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(i) Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.

(ii) Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.

(iii) Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.

(iv) Provide improved recovery systems.

(8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs. Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in part as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(i) Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or “G&G” costs.

(ii) Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records.

(iii) Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

(iv) Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

(v) Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.

(13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms “structural feature” and “stratigraphic condition” are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas producing activities.

(i) Oil and gas producing activities include:

(A) The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas (“oil and gas”) in their natural states and original locations;

(B) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties;

(C) The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:

(1) Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and

(2) Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and

(D) Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.

Definitions - Page 2 of 6

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a “terminal point”, which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:

a. The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and

b. In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.

(ii) Oil and gas producing activities do not include:

(A) Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;

(B) Processing of produced oil, gas, or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;

(C) Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or

(D) Production of geothermal steam.

(17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

(ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.

(iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

(iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

(v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(vi) Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

(18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

(ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

(iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.

(19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.

(i) Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities. They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:

(A) Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(B) Repairs and maintenance.

(C) Materials, supplies, and fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(D) Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.

(E) Severance taxes.

(ii) Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities. To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.

(21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

(23) Proved properties. Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26) Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Excerpted from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas:

932-235-50-30 A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to an entity’s interests in both of the following shall be disclosed as of the end of the year:

a. Proved oil and gas reserves (see paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B)

b. Oil and gas subject to purchase under long-term supply, purchase, or similar agreements and contracts in which the entity participates in the operation of the properties on which the oil or gas is located or otherwise serves as the producer of those reserves (see paragraph 932-235-50-7).

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to those two types of interests in reserves may be combined for reporting purposes.

932-235-50-31 All of the following information shall be disclosed in the aggregate and for each geographic area for which reserve quantities are disclosed in accordance with paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B:

a. Future cash inflows. These shall be computed by applying prices used in estimating the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves. Future price changes shall be considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.

b. Future development and production costs. These costs shall be computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. If estimated development expenditures are significant, they shall be presented separately from estimated production costs.

c. Future income tax expenses. These expenses shall be computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses shall give effect to tax deductions and tax credits and allowances relating to the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves.

d. Future net cash flows. These amounts are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income tax expenses from future cash inflows.

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

e. Discount. This amount shall be derived from using a discount rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.

f. Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This amount is the future net cash flows less the computed discount.

(27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

(28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as “exploratory type” if not drilled in a known area or “development type” if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

From the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (October 26, 2009):

Although several types of projects — such as constructing offshore platforms and development in urban areas, remote locations or environmentally sensitive locations — by their nature customarily take a longer time to develop and therefore often do justify longer time periods, this determination must always take into consideration all of the facts and circumstances. No particular type of project per se justifies a longer time period, and any extension beyond five years should be the exception, and not the rule.

Factors that a company should consider in determining whether or not circumstances justify recognizing reserves even though development may extend past five years include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The company’s level of ongoing significant development activities in the area to be developed (for example, drilling only the minimum number of wells necessary to maintain the lease generally would not constitute significant development activities);

• The company’s historical record at completing development of comparable long-term projects;

• The amount of time in which the company has maintained the leases, or booked the reserves, without significant development activities;

• The extent to which the company has followed a previously adopted development plan (for example, if a company has changed its development plan several times without taking significant steps to implement any of those plans, recognizing proved undeveloped reserves typically would not be appropriate); and

• The extent to which delays in development are caused by external factors related to the physical operating environment (for example, restrictions on development on Federal lands, but not obtaining government permits), rather than by internal factors (for example, shifting resources to develop properties with higher priority).

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

(32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved reserves.

Exhibit 99.4

January 31, 2014

Mr. Kevin Yung

Santa Maria Energy, LLC

2811 Airpark Drive

Santa Maria, California 93455

Dear Mr. Yung:

In accordance with your request, we have estimated the proved reserves and future revenue, as of December 31, 2012, to the Santa Maria Energy, LLC (SME) interest in certain oil and gas properties located in Orcutt Field, Santa Barbara County, California, as listed in the accompanying tabulations. We completed our evaluation on or about the date of this letter. It is our understanding that the proved reserves estimated in this report constitute all of the proved reserves owned by SME as of December 31, 2012. The estimates in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and conform to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, except that future income taxes and per-well overhead expenses are excluded. Definitions are presented immediately following this letter.

We estimate the net reserves and future net revenue to the SME interest in these properties, as of December 31, 2012, to be:

	Net Reserves				Future Net Revenue (M$)
Category	Oil (MBBL)		Gas (MMCF)		Total		Present Worth at 10%
Proved Developed Producing		1,998.0		163.8		88,531.2		45,583.8
Proved Developed Non-Producing		153.8		0.0		9,856.4		2,923.8
Proved Undeveloped		6,478.1		0.0		348,597.5		122,106.5
Total Proved		8,629.9		163.8		446,985.1		170,614.1

The oil reserves shown include crude oil only. Oil volumes are expressed in thousands of barrels (MBBL); a barrel is equivalent to 42 United States gallons. Gas volumes are expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at standard temperature and pressure bases. Estimates of net gas reserves do not include the substantial portion of produced gas that is flared or consumed in field operations.

The estimates shown in this report are for proved reserves. No study was made to determine whether probable or possible reserves might be established for these properties. This report does not include any value that could be attributed to interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which undeveloped reserves have been estimated. Reserves categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status. The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk.

As shown in the Table of Contents, this report includes summary projections of reserves and revenue by reserves category. Included for each reservoir are reserves and economics data by reserves category; these data include a summary projection of reserves and revenue along with one-line summaries of basic data, reserves, and economics by lease.

Gross revenue shown in this report is SME’s share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue is after deductions for SME’s share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes,

capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes. The future net revenue has been discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent to determine its present worth, which is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties.

Oil prices used in this report are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period January through December 2012. For properties producing in the Diatomite Reservoir, the average Chevron Crude Oil Marketing Midway Sunset posted price of $104.31 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and a regional price differential. For properties producing in the Monterey Reservoir, the average Buena Vista Hills posted price of $106.74 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and a regional price differential. The fixed contract gas price of $1.78 per MMBTU is adjusted for energy content. Gas sales are scheduled to end September 30, 2014. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. The average adjusted product prices weighted by production over the remaining lives of the properties are $104.28 per barrel of oil and $1.958 per MCF of gas.

Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of SME, the operator of the properties, and include only direct lease- and field-level costs. Operating costs have been divided into field-level costs, per-well costs, and per-unit-of-production costs. The field-level costs are allocated by year among the proved reserves categories based on proportionate share of the total proved future net revenue. Estimates of proved developed producing reserves and revenue are consequently dependent on SME completing the proved drilling and workover programs scheduled in this report. As requested, these costs do not include the per-well overhead expenses allowed under joint operating agreements, nor do they include the headquarters general and administrative overhead expenses of SME. Operating costs are not escalated for inflation.

Capital costs used in this report were provided by SME and are based on authorizations for expenditure and actual costs from recent activity. Capital costs are included as required for workovers, new development wells, and production equipment. Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. Abandonment costs used in this report are SME’s estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and production facilities, net of any salvage value. Abandonment costs are shown herein as capital costs. Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

For the purposes of this report, we did not perform any field inspection of the properties, nor did we examine the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and facilities. We have not investigated possible environmental liability related to the properties; therefore, our estimates do not include any costs due to such possible liability.

We have made no investigation of potential gas volume and value imbalances resulting from overdelivery or underdelivery to the SME interest. Therefore, our estimates of reserves and future revenue do not include adjustments for the settlement of any such imbalances; our projections are based on SME receiving its net revenue interest share of estimated future gross production.

The reserves shown in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of engineering and geoscience data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable; probable and possible reserves are those additional reserves which are sequentially less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. Estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of market conditions, future operations, changes in regulations, or actual reservoir performance. In addition to the primary economic assumptions discussed herein, our estimates are based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, that the properties will be developed consistent with current development plans, that the properties will be operated in a prudent manner, that no governmental regulations or controls will be put in place that would impact the ability of the interest owner to recover the reserves, and that our projections of future production will prove consistent with actual performance. If the reserves are recovered, the revenues therefrom and the costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts. Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the sales rates, prices received for the reserves, and costs incurred in recovering such reserves may vary from assumptions made while preparing this report.

For the purposes of this report, we used technical and economic data including, but not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests. The reserves in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods; these estimates have been prepared in accordance with the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Standards). We used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of methods, including performance analysis, volumetric analysis, and analogy, that we considered to be appropriate and necessary to categorize and estimate reserves in accordance with SEC definitions and regulations. A substantial portion of these reserves are for non-producing zones and undeveloped locations; such reserves are based on estimates of reservoir volumes and recovery efficiencies along with analogy to properties with similar geologic and reservoir characteristics. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering and geoscience data; therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgment.

The data used in our estimates were obtained from SME, public data sources, and the nonconfidential files of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) and were accepted as accurate. Supporting work data are on file in our office. We have not examined the titles to the properties or independently confirmed the actual degree or type of interest owned. The technical persons responsible for preparing the estimates presented herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the SPE Standards. We are independent petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists; we do not own an interest in these properties nor are we employed on a contingent basis.

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

The following definitions are set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a). Also included is supplemental information from (1) the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, (2) the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, and (3) the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

(1) Acquisition of properties. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers’ fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an “analogous reservoir” refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:

(i) Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);

(ii) Same environment of deposition;

(iii) Similar geological structure; and

(iv) Same drive mechanism.

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Supplemental definitions from the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System:

Developed Producing Reserves – Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the time of the estimate. Improved recovery reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation.

Developed Non-Producing Reserves – Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and behind-pipe Reserves. Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not yet started producing, (2) wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells which will require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to start of production. In all cases, production can be initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well.

(7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(i) Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.

(ii) Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

(iii) Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.

(iv) Provide improved recovery systems.

(8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs. Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in part as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(i) Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or “G&G” costs.

(ii) Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records.

(iii) Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

(iv) Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

(v) Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.

(13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms “structural feature” and “stratigraphic condition” are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas producing activities.

(i) Oil and gas producing activities include:

(A) The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas (“oil and gas”) in their natural states and original locations;

(B) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties;

(C) The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:

(1) Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and

(2) Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and

(D) Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.

Definitions - Page 2 of 6

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a “terminal point”, which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:

a. The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and

b. In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.

(ii) Oil and gas producing activities do not include:

(A) Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;

(B) Processing of produced oil, gas, or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;

(C) Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or

(D) Production of geothermal steam.

(17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

(ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.

(iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

(iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

(v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(vi) Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

(18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a)

(ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

(iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.

(19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.

(i) Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities. They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:

(A) Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(B) Repairs and maintenance.

(C) Materials, supplies, and fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(D) Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.

(E) Severance taxes.

(ii) Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities. To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.

(21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

(23) Proved properties. Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26) Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Excerpted from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas:

932-235-50-30 A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to an entity’s interests in both of the following shall be disclosed as of the end of the year:

a. Proved oil and gas reserves (see paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B)

b. Oil and gas subject to purchase under long-term supply, purchase, or similar agreements and contracts in which the entity participates in the operation of the properties on which the oil or gas is located or otherwise serves as the producer of those reserves (see paragraph 932-235-50-7).

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to those two types of interests in reserves may be combined for reporting purposes.

932-235-50-31 All of the following information shall be disclosed in the aggregate and for each geographic area for which reserve quantities are disclosed in accordance with paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B:

a. Future cash inflows. These shall be computed by applying prices used in estimating the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves. Future price changes shall be considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.

b. Future development and production costs. These costs shall be computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. If estimated development expenditures are significant, they shall be presented separately from estimated production costs.

c. Future income tax expenses. These expenses shall be computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses shall give effect to tax deductions and tax credits and allowances relating to the entity’s proved oil and gas reserves.

d. Future net cash flows. These amounts are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income tax expenses from future cash inflows.

e. Discount. This amount shall be derived from using a discount rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.

f. Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This amount is the future net cash flows less the computed discount.

(27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

(28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as “exploratory type” if not drilled in a known area or “development type” if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

From the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (October 26, 2009):

Although several types of projects — such as constructing offshore platforms and development in urban areas, remote locations or environmentally sensitive locations — by their nature customarily take a longer time to develop and therefore often do justify longer time periods, this determination must always take into consideration all of the facts and circumstances. No particular type of project per se justifies a longer time period, and any extension beyond five years should be the exception, and not the rule.

Factors that a company should consider in determining whether or not circumstances justify recognizing reserves even though development may extend past five years include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The company’s level of ongoing significant development activities in the area to be developed (for example, drilling only the minimum number of wells necessary to maintain the lease generally would not constitute significant development activities);

• The company’s historical record at completing development of comparable long-term projects;

• The amount of time in which the company has maintained the leases, or booked the reserves, without significant development activities;

• The extent to which the company has followed a previously adopted development plan (for example, if a company has changed its development plan several times without taking significant steps to implement any of those plans, recognizing proved undeveloped reserves typically would not be appropriate); and

• The extent to which delays in development are caused by external factors related to the physical operating environment (for example, restrictions on development on Federal lands, but not obtaining government permits), rather than by internal factors (for example, shifting resources to develop properties with higher priority).

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

(32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved reserves.

SEC Reserve Statement Orcutt Field, Careaga Tract,

Diatomite, Santa Barbara County, California, USA

as of December 31, 2011;

Dear Mr. Yung:

This Proved, Probable and Possible reserve statement has been prepared by Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GCA) at the request of Santa Maria Energy, LLC (SME or “the Client”) of Santa Maria, California for the Careaga Tract, Diatomite Formation. GCA previously prepared a reserve statement for this formation as of December 31, 2011 on behalf of the then-owner Santa Maria Pacific Holdings LLC’s (SMPH) according to the Petroleum Resources Management System¹ (PRMS).

In conjunction with SME’s filing of Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4 on February 25, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SME has requested GCA to re-issue its prior report to be fully compliant with the reserves definitions set out in Part 210 Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

The Careaga Tract has two producing horizons², the Monterey and the shallower Diatomite that, as of December 31 2011, was owned respectively by Santa Maria Pacific Holdings LLC’s (SMPH’s) wholly owned subsidiaries Gitte-Ten, LLC (GTL) and Orcutt Properties, LLC (OPL). The corresponding operators of the respective formations were GTL and Santa Maria Pacific LLC (SMP) which was also a wholly owned subsidiary of SMPH.

This report relates specifically and solely to the subject matter as defined in the scope of work in the Proposal for Services and is conditional upon the assumptions described herein. The report must be considered in its entirety and must only be used for the purpose for which it was intended.

¹  The PRMS was approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, World Petroleum Council, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers in March 2007.

²  Both producing zones belong to the same formation, the Sisquoc Formation, which is quite extensive in Western and Central California. The shallower zone is a diatomaceous rock, referred to as “Diatomite”, and the deeper zone is a siliceous fractured shale referred to as “Monterey”.

ASF/gjh/AH-13-2085.00/gcah.41.14 Santa Maria Energy LLC

Reserve Assessment

GCA conducted an independent audit examination as of December 31, 2011, of the hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas reserves of the above mentioned formation. The original report based on PRMS reserves definitions was issued on April 27, 2012. That assessment has now been reviewed and confirmed that all technical analysis is consistent with the SEC definitions for reserves. The economic limit tests have be re-run using SEC-mandated pricing.

On the basis of technical and other information made available to us concerning these property units relating to the period prior to December 31, 2011, we hereby provide the reserve statement given in the table below.

Statement of Remaining Hydrocarbon Volumes

Diatomite Interval, Sisquoc Formation, Careaga Tract, Orcutt Field, California

As of December 31, 2011

Reserves	Gross (100%) Field Volumes				Reserves, Net of Royalties
	Liquids		Gas		Net Oil		Gas
	(MMstb)		(Bcf)		(MMstb)		(Bcf)
Proved
Developed Producing		0.37		0.00		0.33		0.00
Developed Non-Producing		0.26		0.00		0.24		0.00
Undeveloped		4.15		0.00		3.77		0.00
Total Proved		4.78		0.00		4.34		0.00
Probable		1.41		0.00		1.28		0.00
Possible		2.05		0.00		1.86		0.00

Hydrocarbon liquid volumes represent crude oil that was estimated to be recovered during field separation and are reported in millions of stock tank barrels (MMstb) at standard conditions. Royalties payable to the rightful royalty interest owners have been deducted from the net volumes.

Although there was a small amount of associated gas production, as of December 31, 2011 there were no gas sales contracts from the Diatomite and therefore no gas reserves were assigned. The associated gas produced from the Diatomite was not assigned any commercial value due to impurities that had to be removed prior to the sale. As of December 31, 2011 the diatomite associated gas was flared, and it would be used as lease fuel in the future, if it is determined that the cost associated with the necessary processing can be justified.

This evaluation was based on reserve estimates and other information provided by SMPH to GCA through March 2012, and included such tests, procedures and adjustments as were considered necessary. All questions that arose during the course of the evaluation process were resolved to our satisfaction.

The economic tests for the December 31, 2011 reserve volumes, attached in Appendix I, are based on a prior twelve-month first-day-of-the-month average reference price for the Midway Sunset crude of US$103.62/stb, corrected for location and quality to an average well head price of US$ 104.31/stb. No price escalation has been included in the aforementioned economic tests.

ASF/gjh/AH-13-2085.00/gcah.41.14 Santa Maria Energy LLC

Future capital costs were derived from development plans prepared by SMPH for the field. Historical operating expense data were utilized as the basis for operating cost projections. Costs were not adjusted for inflation. GCA has found that sufficient capital investments and operating expenses have been projected by the operators to produce the projected volumes.

Volumes net to SMPH were derived by applying a 99.625% Working Interest (WI) and a corresponding Net Revenue Interest (NRI) of 90.7901960% as advised by SMPH. GCA has not independently verified these values.

BASIS OF OPINION

This document must be considered in its entirety. It reflects GCA’s informed professional judgment based on accepted standards of professional investigation and, as applicable, the data and information provided by the Client, the limited scope of engagement, and the time permitted to conduct the evaluation.

In line with those accepted standards, this document does not in any way constitute or make a guarantee or prediction of results, and no warranty is implied or expressed that actual outcome will conform to the outcomes presented herein. GCA has not independently verified any information provided by or at the direction of the Client, and has accepted the accuracy and completeness of these data. GCA has no reason to believe that any material facts have been withheld from it, but does not warrant that its inquiries have revealed all of the matters that a more extensive examination might otherwise disclose.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to and fully qualified by the generally accepted uncertainties associated with the interpretation of geoscience and engineering data and do not reflect the totality of circumstances, scenarios and information that could potentially affect decisions made by the report’s recipients and/or actual results. The opinions and statements contained in this report are made in good faith and in the belief that such opinions and statements are representative of prevailing physical and economic circumstances.

This assessment has been conducted within the context of GCA’s understanding of the effects of petroleum legislation and other regulations that currently apply to these properties. However, GCA is not in a position to attest to property title or rights, conditions of these rights including environmental and abandonment obligations, and any necessary licenses and consents including planning permission, financial interest relationships or encumbrances thereon for any part of the appraised properties.

In carrying out this study, GCA is not aware that any conflict of interest has existed. As an independent consultancy, GCA is providing impartial technical, commercial and strategic advice within the energy sector. In the preparation of this document, GCA has maintained, and continues to maintain, a strict independent consultant-client relationship with SME.

It should be clearly noted that the Net Present Values (NPVs) contained herein do not represent a GCA opinion as to the market value of the subject property, nor any interest in it. In assessing a likely market value, it would be necessary to take into account a number of additional factors including: reserves risk (i.e. that Proved and/or Probable and/or Possible Reserves may not be realized within the anticipated timeframe for their exploitation); perceptions of economic and sovereign risk; potential upside, such as in this case exploitation of reserves beyond the Proved and the Probable level; other benefits, encumbrances or charges that may pertain to a particular interest; and the competitive state of the market at the time. GCA has explicitly not taken such factors into account in deriving the reference NPVs presented herein.

In the preparation of this report GCA has used Part 210 Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves and resources, and in projecting future production, development expenditures, operating expenses and cash flows. Oil and gas reserve engineering and resource assessment must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. Estimates of oil and gas reserves or resources prepared by other parties may differ, perhaps materially, from those contained within this report. The accuracy of any Reserve or Resource estimate is a function of the quality of the available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. Results of drilling, testing and production that post-date the preparation of the estimates may justify revisions, some or all of which may be material. Accordingly, Reserve and Resource estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, and the timing and cost of those volumes that are recovered may vary from that assumed.

GCA’s review and audit involved reviewing pertinent facts, interpretations and assumptions made by SMPH, or SME or others in preparing estimates of reserves or resources. GCA carried out procedures necessary to enable it to render an opinion on the appropriateness of the methodologies employed, adequacy and quality of the data relied upon, the depth and thoroughness of the reserves estimation process, the classification and categorization of reserves appropriate to the relevant definitions used and the reasonableness of the estimated reserves.

It is GCA’s opinion that the estimates of total remaining recoverable hydrocarbon liquids and gas volumes at December 31, 2011 are, in the aggregate, reasonable and the reserves classification and categorization is appropriate and consistent with the definitions and guidelines for reserves.

GCA concludes that the methodologies employed by SMPH in the derivation of the volume estimates are appropriate and that the quality of the data relied upon, the depth and thoroughness of the estimation process are adequate. GCA is not aware of any potential changes in regulations applicable to these fields that could affect the ability of SME to produce the estimated reserves.

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum that are anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known accumulations from a given date forward under defined conditions. Reserves must further satisfy four criteria: they must be discovered, recoverable, commercial and remaining (as of the evaluation date) based on the development project(s) applied. Reserves are further categorized in accordance with the level

ASF/gjh/AH-13-2085.00/gcah.41.14 Santa Maria Energy LLC

of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by development and production status. All categories of Reserve volumes quoted herein have been determined within the context of an economic limit test (pre-tax and exclusive of accumulated depreciation amounts) assessment prior to any NPV analysis.

SEC Reserve Definitions

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC)

MODERNIZATION OF OIL AND GAS REPORTING³

Oil and Gas Reserves Definitions and Reporting

(a) Definitions

(1) Acquisition of properties. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers’ fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an “analogous reservoir” refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:

(i) Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);

(ii) Same environment of deposition;

(iii) Similar geological structure; and

(iv) Same drive mechanism.

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

(7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More

³  Extracted from 17 CFR Parts 210, 211, 229, and 249 [Release Nos. 33-8995; 34-59192; FR-78; File No. S7-15-08] RIN 3235-AK00].

specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(i) Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.

(ii) Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.

(iii) Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.

(iv) Provide improved recovery systems.

(8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs. Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in pail as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(i) Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or “G&G” costs.

(ii) Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records.

(iii) Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

(iv) Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

(v) Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.

(13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms “structural feature” and “stratigraphic condition” are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas producing activities.

(i) Oil and gas producing activities include:

(A) The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas (“oil and gas”) in their natural states and original locations;

(B) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties;

(C) The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:

(1) Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and

(2) Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and

(D) Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a “terminal point”, which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:

a. The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and

b. In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.

(ii) Oil and gas producing activities do not include:

(A) Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;

(B) Processing of produced oil, gas or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;

(C) Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or

(D) Production of geothermal steam.

(17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

(ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.

(iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

(iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

(v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(vi) Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

(18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

(ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

(iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.

(19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.

(i) Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities, they become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:

(A) Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(B) Repairs and maintenance.

(C) Materials, supplies, arid fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(D) Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.

(E) Severance taxes.

(ii) Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities. To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.

(21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

(23) Proved properties. Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26) Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

(27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

(28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as “exploratory type” if not drilled in a known area or “development type” if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

(32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved reserves

Santa Maria, CA 93455

SEC Reserve Statement

Orcutt Field, Careaga Tract, Monterey Formation,

Santa Barbara County, California, USA

as of December 31, 2011

Dear Mr. Yung:

This Proved, Probable and Possible Reserve statement has been prepared by Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GCA) at the request of Santa Maria Energy LLC (SME or “the Client”) of Santa Maria, California for the Careaga Tract, Monterey Formation. GCA previously prepared a reserve statement for this formation as of December 31, 2011 on behalf of the then-owner Santa Maria Pacific Holdings LLC’s (SMPH) according to the Petroleum Resources Management System¹ (PRMS).

In conjunction with SME’s filing of Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4 on February 25, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SME has requested GCA to re-issue its prior report to be fully compliant with the reserves definitions set out in Part 210 Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

The Careaga Tract has two producing horizons², the Monterey and the shallower Diatomite that, as of December 31, 2011, were owned respectively by Santa Maria Pacific Holdings LLC’s (SMPH) wholly owned subsidiaries, Gitte-Ten, LLC, (GTL) and Orcutt Properties LLC (OPL). The corresponding operators of the respective formations are GTL and Santa Maria Pacific LLC (SMP) which was also a wholly owned subsidiary of SMPH.

This report relates specifically and solely to the subject matter as defined in the scope of work in the Proposal for Services and is conditional upon the assumptions described herein. The report must be considered in its entirety and must only be used for the purpose for which it was intended.

1 The PRMS was approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, World Petroleum Council, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers in March 2007

2 Both producing zones belong to the same formation, the Sisquoc formation, which is quite extensive in Western and Central California. The shallower zone is a diatomaceous rock and referred to as “Diatomite” and the deeper zone is a siliceous fractured shale referred to as “Monterey”.

Reserve Assessment

GCA conducted an independent audit examination as of December 31, 2011, of the hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas reserves of the above mentioned formation. The original report based on PRMS reserves definitions was issued on April 18, 2012. That assessment has now been reviewed and confirmed that all technical analysis is consistent with the SEC definitions for reserves. The economic limit tests have be re-run using SEC-mandated pricing. On the basis of technical and other information made available to us concerning these property units relating to the period prior to December 31, 2011, we hereby provide the reserve statement given in the table below.

Statement of Hydrocarbon Reserves Volumes

Monterey Formation, Careaga Tract, Orcutt Field, California

as of December 31, 2011

	Gross (100%) Field Volumes				Reserves, Net of Royalties
Reserves	Liquids		Gas		Net Oil		Gas
	(MMstb)		(Bcf)		(MMstb)		(Bcf)
Proved
Developed Producing		1.30		3.05		1.13		2.66
Developed Non-Producing		0.17		0.05		0.14		0.04
Undeveloped		0.71		0.36		0.63		0.31
Total Proved		2.18		3.46		1.90		3.01
Probable		0.57		0.29		0.51		0.26
Possible		0.28		0.14		0.25		0.13

Hydrocarbon liquid volumes represent crude oil that was estimated to be recovered during field separation and are reported in millions of stock tank barrels (MMstb) at standard conditions. Natural gas volumes represent expected gas sales, and are reported in billions (109) of cubic feet (Bcf) at standard conditions. Royalties payable to the rightful royalty interest owners have been deducted from the net volumes.

The associated gas is used as fuel gas for steam generation in the concurrent Orcutt Diatomite development. Therefore the volumes of gas estimated to be produced from the Monterey Formation after December 2011 are included as reserves on the basis of their current and planned use either as fuel for steam generation for the diatomite development or for sales.

This evaluation was based on reserve estimates and other information provided by SMPH to GCA through March 2012, and included such tests, procedures and adjustments as were considered necessary. All questions that arose during the course of the evaluation process were resolved to our satisfaction.

The economic tests for the December 31, 2011 reserve volumes are based on a prior twelve-month first-day-of-the-month average reference price for the Buena Vista Hills crude of US$109.18/stb, corrected for location and quality to an average well head price of US$ 103.33. Sales net gas prices were advised by SME according to existing contracts and/or regulations. No price escalation has been included in the aforementioned economic tests. Resulting cashflows by Reserve Categories are included in Appendix I. Royalties vary by well between 12.5% and 19.55%. SMPH advised that production from new wells would have a 1/6th royalty (16.67%) unless they are permitted as re-drills from existing wellbores, in which case SMPH expects that the 1/8th (12.5%) royalty would be applied. GCA has used the 1/8th royalty for new development wells as SMPH advised that they plan to drill all the development wells from existing idle wellbores.

DAA/gjh/AH-14-2005.00/gcah.42.14 Santa Maria Energy LLC

Future capital costs were derived from development plans prepared by SMPH for the field. Historical operating expense data were utilized as the basis for operating cost projections. Costs were not adjusted for inflation. GCA has found that sufficient capital investments and operating expenses have been projected by the operators to produce the projected volumes.

BASIS OF OPINION

This document must be considered in its entirety. It reflects GCA’s informed professional judgment based on accepted standards of professional investigation and, as applicable, the data and information provided by the Client, the limited scope of engagement, and the time permitted to conduct the evaluation.

In line with those accepted standards, this document does not in any way constitute or make a guarantee or prediction of results, and no warranty is implied or expressed that actual outcome will conform to the outcomes presented herein. GCA has not independently verified any information provided by or at the direction of the Client, and has accepted the accuracy and completeness of these data. GCA has no reason to believe that any material facts have been withheld from it, but does not warrant that its inquiries have revealed all of the matters that a more extensive examination might otherwise disclose.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to and fully qualified by the generally accepted uncertainties associated with the interpretation of geoscience and engineering data and do not reflect the totality of circumstances, scenarios and information that could potentially affect decisions made by the report’s recipients and/or actual results. The opinions and statements contained in this report are made in good faith and in the belief that such opinions and statements are representative of prevailing physical and economic circumstances.

This assessment has been conducted within the context of GCA’s understanding of the effects of petroleum legislation and other regulations that currently apply to these properties. However, GCA is not in a position to attest to property title or rights, conditions of these rights including environmental and abandonment obligations, and any necessary licenses and consents including planning permission, financial interest relationships or encumbrances thereon for any part of the appraised properties.

In carrying out this study, GCA is not aware that any conflict of interest has existed. As an independent consultancy, GCA is providing impartial technical, commercial and strategic advice within the energy sector. In the preparation of this document, GCA has maintained, and continues to maintain, a strict independent consultant-client relationship with SME. Furthermore, the management and employees of GCA have no interest in any of the assets evaluated or related with the analysis carried out as part of this report.

Staff members who prepared this report are professionally-qualified with appropriate educational qualifications and levels of experience and expertise to perform the scope of work set out in the Proposal for Services.

It should be clearly noted that the Net Present Values (NPVs) contained herein do not represent a GCA opinion as to the market value of the subject property, nor any interest in it. In assessing a likely market value, it would be necessary to take into account a number of additional factors including: reserves risk (i.e. that Proved and/or Probable and/or Possible Reserves may not be realized within the anticipated timeframe for their exploitation); perceptions of economic and sovereign risk; potential upside, such as in this case exploitation of reserves beyond the Proved and the Probable level; other benefits, encumbrances or charges

DAA/gjh/AH-14-2005.00/gcah.42.14 Santa Maria Energy LLC

that may pertain to a particular interest; and the competitive state of the market at the time. GCA has explicitly not taken such factors into account in deriving the reference NPVs presented herein.

In the preparation of this report GCA has used Part 210 Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves and resources, and in projecting future production, development expenditures, operating expenses and cash flows. Oil and gas reserve engineering and resource assessment must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. Estimates of oil and gas reserves or resources prepared by other parties may differ, perhaps materially, from those contained within this report. The accuracy of any Reserve or Resource estimate is a function of the quality of the available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. Results of drilling, testing and production that post-date the preparation of the estimates may justify revisions, some or all of which may be material. Accordingly, Reserve and Resource estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, and the timing and cost of those volumes that are recovered may vary from that assumed.

GCA’s review and audit involved reviewing pertinent facts, interpretations and assumptions made by SME or SMPH others in preparing estimates of reserves or resources. GCA carried out procedures necessary to enable it to render an opinion on the appropriateness of the methodologies employed, adequacy and quality of the data relied upon, the depth and thoroughness of the reserves estimation process, the classification and categorization of reserves appropriate to the relevant definitions used and the reasonableness of the estimated reserves.

It is GCA’s opinion that the estimates of total remaining recoverable hydrocarbon liquids and gas volumes at December 31, 2011 are, in the aggregate, reasonable and the reserves classification and categorization is appropriate and consistent with the definitions and guidelines for reserves.

GCA concludes that the methodologies employed by SMPH in the derivation of the volume estimates are appropriate and that the quality of the data relied upon, the depth and thoroughness of the estimation process are adequate. GCA is not aware of any potential changes in regulations applicable to these fields that could affect the ability of SME to produce the estimated reserves.

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum that are anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known accumulations from a given date forward under defined conditions. Reserves must further satisfy four criteria: they must be discovered, recoverable, commercial and remaining (as of the evaluation date) based on the development project(s) applied. Reserves are further categorized in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by development and production status. All categories of Reserve volumes quoted herein have been determined within the context of an economic limit test (pre-tax and exclusive of accumulated depreciation amounts) assessment prior to any NPV analysis.

APPENDIX II:

SEC Reserve Definitions

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC)

MODERNIZATION OF OIL AND GAS REPORTING³

Oil and Gas Reserves Definitions and Reporting

(a) Definitions

(1) Acquisition of properties. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers’ fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an “analogous reservoir” refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:

(i) Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);

(ii) Same environment of deposition;

(iii) Similar geological structure; and

(iv) Same drive mechanism.

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

³  Extracted from 17 CFR Parts 210, 211, 229, and 249 [Release Nos. 33-8995; 34-59192; FR-78; File No. S7-15-08] RIN 3235-AK00].

1

(7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(i) Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.

(ii) Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.

(iii) Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.

(iv) Provide improved recovery systems.

(8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs. Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in pail as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(i) Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or “G&G” costs.

(ii) Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records.

2

(iii) Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

(iv) Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

(v) Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.

(13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms “structural feature” and “stratigraphic condition” are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas producing activities.

(i) Oil and gas producing activities include:

(A) The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas (“oil and gas”) in their natural states and original locations;

(B) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties;

(C) The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:

(1) Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and

(2) Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and

(D) Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a “terminal point”, which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:

a. The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and

b. In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

3

Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.

(ii) Oil and gas producing activities do not include:

(A) Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;

(B) Processing of produced oil, gas or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;

(C) Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or

(D) Production of geothermal steam.

(17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

(ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.

(iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

(iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

(v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(vi) Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an

4

associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

(18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

(i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

(ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

(iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

(iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.

(19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.

(i) Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities, they become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:

(A) Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(B) Repairs and maintenance.

(C) Materials, supplies, arid fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.

(D) Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.

(E) Severance taxes.

(ii) Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities. To

5

the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.

(21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the- month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

(23) Proved properties. Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26) Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

(27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

(28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as “exploratory type” if not drilled in a known area or “development type” if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

(32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved reserves.
