Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Effective as of October 21, 2020, an Agreement and Plan of Merger was entered into by and among the Issuer, Antman Sub, LLC, a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and Riley Exploration—Permian, LLC (“REP”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 20, 2021, by and among the Issuer, Merger Sub and REP (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”).

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement was subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Issuer’s stockholders. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on February 26, 2021 (the “Effective Time”).

At the Effective Time, Merger Sub merged with and into REP (the “Merger”), with REP continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. Immediately following the completion of the Merger, the Issuer’s corporate name was changed to Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. and the Issuer completed a 1-for-12 reverse stock split.

Upon consummation of the Merger, each common unit of REP (each an “REP Unit”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (with certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement) were be converted into the right to receive 97.796467 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) (together with any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Consideration”).

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, BREA directly owned 470,524.97 REP Units and Bluescape Riley Holdings directly owned an additional 248,082.63 REP Units. Accordingly at the Effective Time, BREA REP Units were converted into the right to receive 3,834,639 shares of Common Stock and Bluescape Riley Holdings’ REP Units were converted into the right to receive 2,021,800 shares of Common Stock.

None of the Reporting Persons has beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock other than the shares described above that were received by BREA and Bluescape Riley Holdings as Merger Consideration in the Merger.

Item 4.

The description of the Merger Agreement in Item 3, as well as the text of the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit B, is hereby incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

SCHEDULE 13D

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b). The response of the Reporting Persons to rows 7 through 13 on the cover page of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference herein.

Based on information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons, on February 26, 2021, following the Merger, and giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effected immediately following completion of the Merger, the Issuer had a total number of 17,810,470 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each description of percentage ownership of Common Stock in this Schedule 13D is based on that total number of shares disclosed by the Issuer. The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock beyond the number of shares in which such Reporting Person has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Reporting Persons disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

1. As of the date hereof, BREA directly holds 3,834,639 shares of Common Stock, representing 21.5% of the total number of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

2. As of the date hereof, Bluescape Riley Holdings directly holds 2,021,800 shares of Common Stock, representing 11.4% of the total number of Common Stock issued and outstanding. In addition, Bluescape Riley Holdings has the right to designate a majority of BREA’s board of managers and owns 100% of the Class A membership interests of BREA, which represents a majority of BREA’s outstanding membership interests. Accordingly, Bluescape Riley has the power to direct the affairs of BREA.

3. Bluescape Main Fund owns 90.06% of the membership interests of Bluescape Riley Holdings.

4. Bluescape IP owns 7.51% of the membership interests of Bluescape Riley Holdings.

5. Bluescape ECI Holdco owns 1.05% of the membership interests of Bluescape Riley Holdings. Bluescape ECI Blocker owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape ECI Holdco, and Bluescape ECI Offshore Holdco owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape ECI Blocker. Bluescape ECI owns 100% of the limited partner interest of Bluescape ECI Offshore Holdco, and Bluescape ECI Offshore GP owns 100% of the general partner interest of Bluescape ECI Offshore Holdco.

6. Bluescape TE Holdco owns 1.38% of the membership interests of Bluescape Riley Holdings, and Bluescape TE Blocker owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape TE HoldCo. Bluescape TE owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape TE Blocker.

7. Bluescape Resources owns 100% of the membership interests of BEP and has the power to direct the affairs of BEP. Bluescape Resources also owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape GP Holdings, which in turn owns 100% of the membership interests of Bluescape GP. Mr. C. John Wilder Jr. has the power to direct the affairs of Bluescape Resources as its Executive Chairman.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D with reference to the Merger Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers, has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) In accordance with the organizational documents of BREA, BREA is obligated to distribute to its members the 3,834,639 shares of Common Stock it received as Merger Consideration within 30 days after the Effective Time. When that distribution is made, Bluescape Riley Holdings will receive over 80% of those shares, and Dernick Encore, LLC (“Dernick”), the holder of the Class B membership interests of BREA will receive the remainder of the shares (the precise percentages will depend upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of distribution). Dernick is not affiliated with any of the Reporting Persons. Except for Dernick’s right to receive its portion of BREA’s distribution of shares of Common Stock, as and when such distribution is declared by BREA’s board of managers, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock received by the Reporting Persons as Merger Consideration.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Merger Agreement

The description of the Merger Agreement in Item 3, as well as the text of the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit B, are hereby incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.

Prior to the amendment described in this paragraph, the Merger Agreement had provided that REP’s board of managers was entitled to designate three directors, including Philip Riley, to serve on the board of directors of the Issuer beginning on the Effective Date. On January 20, 2021, the Issuer, Merger Sub, and REP entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”). A copy of the Merger Agreement Amendment is filed as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment, at the closing of the Merger, the number of directors (a) designated by REP to the Issuer’s board of directors was reduced from three directors to two directors, and Philip Riley was no longer named as a designee. Philip Riley (who is not related to any of the officers, directors or affiliates of REP, including those with the surname Riley) was a managing director of BEP and Bluescape Resources until February 28, 2021. Neither Philip Riley nor any individual affiliated with the Reporting Persons serves as an officer or director of the Issuer or has the right to serve in, or designate any other person to serve in, any such capacity.

Joint Filing Agreement

The Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto. A copy of such agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference herein.

Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the Common Stock.
