CUSIP No.   78636X105 13D/A Page 9 of 13 Pages

  

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D (the “Original 13D”) first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”), by CLCH, LLC (“CLCH”), Jeff Hastings, Seismic Management Holdings, Inc. (“Seismic Holdings”), Seismic Management, LLP (“Seismic LLP”), Brian A. Beatty, Sherri L. Beatty and Brent Whiteley (each, a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of SAExploration Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Trio Merger Corp. (the “Issuer”).

 

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.

 

Item 1.Security and Issuer.

 

Item 1 of the Original 13D is amended to change the address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices to 1160 Dairy Ashford Rd., Suite 160, Houston, TX USA, 77079.

 

Item 2.Identity and Background.

 

Item 2(b) of the Original 13D is amended to change the principal business address for Brent Whiteley to 1160 Dairy Ashford Rd., Suite 160, Houston, TX 77079.

  

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Original 13D is supplemented and amended to add the following:

 

On December 27, 2013, Jeff Hastings acquired 6,800 shares of Common Stock at $51.0043 per share. On December 30, 2013, Jeff Hastings acquired 40,000 shares of Common Stock at $8.5552 per share. On December 31, 2013, Jeff Hastings acquired 11,200 shares of Common Stock at $8.7207 per share. The acquisitions of such shares, totaling 58,000 in the aggregate (the “Hastings Shares”), were made on the public market using personal funds of Mr. Hastings, who holds such shares directly. CLCH, Seismic Holdings, Seismic LLP, Brian A. Beatty, Sherri L. Beatty and Brent Whiteley all have a beneficial interest in the Hastings Shares through their group membership. The Hastings Shares are included in the 7,589,709 aggregate total of Common Stock shares that are deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as described in Item 5(a). 

 

On April 2, 2014, an aggregate of 254,558 shares of Common Stock were released from the escrow of the Merger consideration allocable to holders of certain derivative securities of Former SAE in connection with the conversion of the common shares issued by a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company that were exchangeable for shares of Former SAE common stock prior to the Merger. As a result of the release of such shares, the number of shares allocable to holders of derivative securities of Former SAE which are held in escrow, and over which CLCH has voting control, has been reduced from 390,859 to 112,770 shares.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is supplemented and amended to add the following:

 

On January 7, 2014, the Company commenced an offer to exchange warrants to purchase 15.0 million shares of its common stock for up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock (the “Warrant Exchange”). Each warrant holder had the opportunity to receive one share of the Company’s common stock in exchange for every ten outstanding warrants tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Warrant Exchange offer. On February 14, 2014, the Company issued 1,441,813 shares and paid $52 in cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange for the 14,418,193 warrants tendered in the Warrant Exchange. Immediately following the Warrant Exchange, there were 14,870,549 shares of Common Stock outstanding, with the Reporting Persons beneficially owning an aggregate of 51.0% of the Company.

 

In connection with the Warrant Exchange, pursuant to the Irrevocable Proxy Agreements, Arnaud Ajdler, David Boris, Barry Erdos, Mark Hauser, Gregory Monahan, Eric S. Rosenfeld, David D. Sgro and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. executed Irrevocable Proxies effective as of February 14, 2014, granting CLCH voting control over the 344,787 shares of Common Stock (in the aggregate) they received in the Warrant Exchange. The form of such Irrevocable Proxy is attached hereto as Exhibit 18, and is incorporated herein by reference. Those Irrevocable Proxies are in addition to the Irrevocable Proxies granted by such stockholders in connection with the Merger, which were previously filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No.   78636X105 13D/A Page 10 of 13 Pages

 

 

In addition, Forrest Burkholder, Arturo Mendez, Pablo Mendez, Lloyd Maher, David Siegfried, Margaret Siegfried and Constantine Straub granted proxies to Brian A. Beatty effective as of February 13, 2014, to vote an aggregate of 599,019 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Revocable Voting Proxies. The form of such Revocable Voting Proxy is attached hereto as Exhibit 19, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Schedule 13D assumes that there are 14,870,549 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the time of filing of Amendment No. 1 hereto in reliance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2014. As of the date of filing of this Amendment No. 1 hereto, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,589,709 shares of Common Stock, including (i) 3,269,954 shares directly owned by CLCH, (ii) 112,770 shares that may be issued to the holders of certain derivative securities upon their conversion or exercise, which are held in escrow and over which CLCH has voting control as nominee of the Issuer, (iii) 1,914,392 shares held by certain stockholders of the Issuer over which CLCH was granted voting control pursuant to irrevocable voting proxy agreements, (iv) 76,941 shares held by certain stockholders of the Issuer over which CLCH was granted voting control pursuant to revocable voting proxy agreements, (v) 58,000 shares directly owned by Jeff Hastings, (vi) 76,823 shares issued to CLCH as representative of the Former SAE stockholders and held in escrow, which are not subject to voting proxies, (vii) 1,196,846 shares directly owned by Seismic Holdings, (viii) 599,019 shares over which Brian A. Beatty has voting control pursuant to revocable voting proxy agreements, and (ix) 284,964 shares directly owned by Brent Whiteley, collectively representing, as a group, beneficial ownership of approximately 51.0% of the Common Stock as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

Each Reporting Person has sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as indicated herein.

Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney

 

Pursuant to that certain Irrevocable Proxy Agreement by and between the undersigned (a “Founder”) and CLCH, LLC (“CLCH”) dated June 24, 2013 (the “Agreement”), Founder, holder and owner of the number of shares of common stock of SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Trio Merger Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), set forth below, which shares were issued in exchange for Founder’s warrants to purchase common stock of the Corporation (the “Tendered Warrant Shares”), does hereby irrevocably appoint CLCH and any designee of CLCH as Founder’s proxy and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to represent and vote the Tendered Warrant Shares, whether at a meeting of shareholders or by any consent to any action taken without a meeting, with respect to any matter presented to the shareholders of the Corporation for vote or action without a meeting. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Founder shall be irrevocable during its term, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Founder with respect to the Tendered Warrant Shares. Founder authorizes CLCH to file this Irrevocable Proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Corporation so that the existence of this Irrevocable Proxy is noted on the books and records of the Corporation. The power of attorney granted by Founder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of the Founder.

 

During the effectiveness of this Irrevocable Proxy, CLCH has all the power that Founder would possess with respect to the voting of the Tendered Warrant Shares or granting of consent as holder of the Tendered Warrant Shares. Founder hereby ratifies and confirms all acts that such Founder’s proxy will do or cause to be done by virtue of and within the limitations set forth in this Irrevocable Proxy.

 

This Irrevocable Proxy is binding on Founder’s heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors, and assigns (including any transferee of any of the Tendered Warrant Shares) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

 

This Irrevocable Proxy shall terminate upon the earlier of the disposition of the Tendered Warrant Shares by the Founder or the date on which the Founder receives notice from Jeff Hastings and Brian A. Beatty that they beneficially own more than 51% of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation without the assistance of this Irrevocable Proxy and any similar irrevocable proxies granted by other founders of the Corporation on the date hereof.

 

Founder has executed this Irrevocable Proxy on the date set forth below to be effective as of February 14, 2014.

Beatty, with full power of substitution, as the undersigned’s proxy to attend all meetings of stockholders of Parent and to vote, execute written consents and proxies and otherwise represent all shares of such common stock of Parent now or hereafter held of record by the undersigned (the “Shares”), in the same manner and with the same effect as if the undersigned were personally present at any such meeting or voting the Shares or personally acting on any matters submitted to the stockholders of Parent for approval or consent.

 

During the pendency of this proxy, all rights to vote the Shares shall be held by Brian A. Beatty and shall not be voted by the undersigned, provided the undersigned may revoke this proxy at any time. Unless earlier revoked, this proxy shall terminate on February 13, 2017.
