This Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 12, 2016 (the "Original Schedule 13D") as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 13, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”, and together with the Original Schedule 13D and this Amendment No. 2, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Stratus Properties Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 2 amends Items 3, 4, 5(a)-(b) and 7 as set forth below.

 

 

Item 3.	SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
	Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
	Funds for the purchase of the Shares by Oasis II Fund reported herein were derived from general working capital and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein. A total of $28,151,769.35 was paid to acquire the 1,123,065 Shares reported herein.

 

 

Item 4.	PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
	Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
	On September 18, 2020, Oasis sent a letter to the Company (the “Termination Letter”) providing advance written notice that the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement would be terminated effective as of the close of business on September 25, 2020. A copy of the Termination Letter is included as Exhibit 3 to the Schedule 13D. Also on September 18, Ella G. Benson, an employee of a wholly-owned advisory subsidiary of Oasis Management who was appointed to the Board under the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, resigned from the Board and all committees thereof effective immediately as a result of disagreements regarding the strategic direction of the Company and the Board.

 

Item 5.	INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
	Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a)	See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Shares and percentages of the Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.  The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 8,210,139 Shares reported to be outstanding as of July 31, 2020 in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2020.
(b)	See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
