| Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
This Schedule 13D relates to units of beneficial interest (the “Units”), of Pacific Coast Oil Trust (the “Issuer” or “Pacific Coast”). The address of the issuer is 601 Travis Street, 16th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background |
(a) This Statement is filed by:
(1) Shipyard Capital Management LLC (“Shipyard”)
(2) Cedar Creek Partners LLC (“CCP”)
(3) Walter C. Keenan (“Mr. Keenan”)
Each of the foregoing is referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.”
(b) The principal business address of Shipyard is 1477 Ashford Avenue, #2006, San Juan, PR 00907. The principal business address of CCP is 8695 Glendale Road, Custer, WA 98240. The principal business address of Mr. Keenan is 25 Ave Munoz Rivera #812, San Juan, PR 00901.
(c) The principal business of Shipyard is acquiring, holding and disposing of investments in various companies. The principal business of CCP is acquiring, holding and disposing of investments in various companies. The principal business of Mr. Keenan is consulting, primarily to insurance and financial services companies.
(d) No Reporting Person described herein has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) None of the Reporting Parties described herein has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
(f) Mr. Mitchell is a citizen of the United States. Shipyard is a Delaware limited liability company. Mr. Eriksen is a citizen of the United States. CCP is a Washington limited liability company. Mr. Keenan is a citizen of the United States.
| Item 3. | Source and amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The units were acquired in open market purchases with working capital of Shipyard, CCP, and Mr. Keenan respectively. The amount of funds expended, excluding commissions, to acquire units held by Shipyard, CCP, and Mr. Keenan is $469,225, $432,473, and $98,994, respectively.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons acquired shares of Pacific Coast for investment purposes.
| CUSIP No. 694103102 | 13D | Page 8 of 10 |
Shipyard, CCP, and Mr. Keenan believe that the trustee is not properly representing unitholders. The trustee has refused to file suit against PCEC for what we believe are illegal and improper assessments against the trust, preventing the trust from making distributions and potentially forcing dissolution and liquidation, which we believe would harm unitholders.
In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the units at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the units; (2) changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets, and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the trustee of the Issuer (the “Trustee”), other unitholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the units; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization; (4) proposing changes of the trust’s trustee or bylaws; or (5) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional units or dispose of some or all of the units beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
On October 11, 2022, Shipyard and CCP sent a letter to the trustee requesting that it file suit against PCEC, the trust&#x 2019;s operator, or face a special meeting vote to be removed as trustee. That letter was filed as Exhibit 2 to the Schedule 13D filed the same day. On October 17, 2022, the trustee filed a response letter on Form 8K (incorporated here by reference), indicating that it intends to take no action against the operator at this time. On November 3, 2022, Shipyard and CCP sent a letter to the trustee further explaining why PCEC’s accounting is improper, and reiterating their intent to call a special meeting to vote on the trustee’s removal. On December 12, 2022, Shipyard and CCP sent a letter to the trustee, demanding that a special meeting of unitholders be called for the purpose of voting on the trustee’s removal and voting to approve that the trustee be directed to take no action to dissolve the trust during the remainder of its tenure as trustee. That letter is attached as Exhibit 2.
