This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and restates the Schedule 13D filed on March 4, 2002, as amended on February 18, 2004 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to (a) the acquisition by Mellon Ventures, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Mellon Ventures”), on February 20, 2002 of 40,000 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Stock”), of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and a warrant (the “2002 Warrant”) to purchase up to 168,421 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at the exercise price of $5.94 per share; and (b) the acquisition by Mellon Ventures on December 15, 1999 of 363,636 shares of Common Stock, a warrant (the “1999 Warrant”) to purchase up to 276,019 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $2.20 per share, subject to adjustment, and 9% Senior Subordi nated Notes of the Company due on December 17, 2007 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000. Unless specifically amended and/or restated herein, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged.

 

The Schedule 13D is hereby amended and/or restated as follows:

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

The information previously furnished in response to Item 4 is hereby amended by adding to the end of the eighth paragraph thereof the following:

 

On March 5, 2004, the Underwriters purchased 80,417 shares of Common Stock from Mellon Ventures pursuant to the option at a price of $6.58 per share. In connection therewith, Mellon Ventures purchased 69,199 shares of Common Stock underlying the 1999 Warrant on a “cashless basis” and delivered 20,064 of those shares to the Company in lieu of paying the cash exercise price thereon.

 

The information previously furnished in response to Item 4 is hereby further amended by adding after the fourth paragraph thereof the following:

 

On April 21, 2004, the First Amendment to Shareholders Agreement was executed pursuant to which the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement was amended to delete Douglas A. P. Hamilton, Paul B. Loyd, Jr. and DAPHAM Partnership, L.P. (each, an “Exiting Shareholder”) as Shareholders, signatories and parties thereto, and as a result thereof, no Exiting Shareholder has any remaining rights or obligations under the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

As of June 3, 2004, Mellon Ventures no longer beneficially owned any shares of the Common Stock or Series B Stock of the Company. As a result, the rights and obligations of Mellon Ventures under the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement terminated as of that date.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

The information previously furnished in response to Item 5 is hereby amended by adding after the tenth paragraph thereof the following:

 

On April 21, 2004, the First Amendment to Shareholders Agreement was executed pursuant to which the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement was amended to delete Douglas A. P. Hamilton, Paul B. Loyd, Jr. and DAPHAM Partnership, L.P. as Shareholders, signatories and parties thereto, and as a result thereof, no Exiting Shareholder has any remaining rights or obligations under the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement.


CUSIP NO 144577 10 3

The information previously furnished in response to Item 5 is hereby further amended by adding after the sixteenth paragraph thereof the following:

 

On April 21, 2004, the First Amendment to Shareholders Agreement was executed pursuant to which the 2002 Shareholders’ Agreement was amended to delete Douglas A. P. Hamilton, Paul B. Loyd, Jr. and DAPHAM Partnership, L.P. as Shareholders, signatories and parties thereto, and as a result thereof, no Exiting Shareholder has any remaining rights or obligations under the 2002 Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

The information previously furnished in response to Item 5 is hereby further amended by deleting the final paragraph thereof and replacing it with the following:

 

On March 5, 2004, the Underwriters purchased 80,417 shares of Common Stock from Mellon Ventures pursuant to the option granted by Mellon Ventures at a price of $6.58 per share. In connection therewith, on March 5, 2004, Mellon Ventures purchased 69,199 shares of Common Stock underlying the 1999 Warrant on a “cashless basis” and delivered 20,064 of those shares to the Company in lieu of paying the cash exercise price thereon.

 

On May 8, 2004, Mellon Ventures purchased the remaining 206,820 shares underlying the 1999 Warrant in full on a “cashless basis” and delivered 50,263 shares underlying the 1999 Warrant to the Company in lieu of paying the cash exercise price thereon.

 

On May 26, 2004, Mellon Ventures converted 49,937.65 shares of Series B Stock into 876,099 shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio equal to the quotient of $100 divided by $5.70, the conversion price of the Series B Stock.

 

Since May 17, 2004, Mellon Ventures has sold a total of 272,657 shares of Common Stock in the open market as follows: 81,557 shares for an average price per share of $8.2278 on May 17, 2004; 40,000 shares for an average price per share of $8.2785 on May 18, 2004; 4,000 shares for an average price per share of $8.33 on May 19, 2004; 31,000 shares for an average price per share of $8.0904 on May 20, 2004; 50,000 shares for an average price per share of $8.5930 on June 1, 2004; 32,100 shares for an average price per share of $8.7545 on June 2, 2004; and 34,000 shares for an average price per share of $8.6235 on June 3, 2004.

 

On June 3, 2004, Mellon Ventures also sold, by way of a block trade, a total of 759,999 shares of Common Stock at an average price per share of $8.25.

 

As of June 3, 2004, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mellon Ventures represented 0.0% of the total shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of May 4, 2004. As a result, the rights and obligations of Mellon Ventures under both the 1999 Shareholders’ Agreement and the 2002 Shareholders’ Agreement terminated as of that date.

 

On May 18, 2004, Mellon Ventures ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock. Mellon Ventures does not currently hold any shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock of the Company.
