EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 (Amendment No. 2) relates to the Common Shares, representing limited liability company interests, of Titan Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Issuer), and amends the Schedule 13D filed on September 12, 2016 (as amended to date, the Schedule 13D). Except as amended herein, the Schedule 13D is unchanged and remains in effect. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 2 serves to report that GSO Capital Partners LP and its affiliates concluded their investment sub-advisory relationships with FS Investments funds (including FS Energy and Power Fund, FS Investment Corporation II and FS Investment Corporation III) effective April 9, 2018. FS Energy and Power Fund, Foxfields Funding LLC, Cobbs Creek LLC, FS Investment Corporation II and FS Investment Corporation III and certain related persons who previously reported together with the Reporting Persons (as defined below) pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement will now report their beneficial ownership of Issuer securities on a separate statement on Schedule 13D. Due to the fact that the Reporting Persons beneficially own less than five percent of the Issuers Common Shares, this Amendment No. 2 is an exit filing with respect to each of them.
Item 2. Identity and Background. |
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) (c) This Schedule 13D is being filed by the following reporting persons (each a Reporting Person and, collectively, the Reporting Persons):
(i) Blackstone / GSO Strategic Credit Fund, which is a Delaware statutory trust, (ii) GSO Energy Market Opportunities Fund LP, which is a Delaware limited partnership (Blackstone / GSO Strategic Credit Fund and GSO Energy Market Opportunities Fund LP, collectively, the GSO Funds), (iii) GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, which is a Delaware limited liability company, (iv) GSO Energy Market Opportunities Associates LLC, which is a Delaware limited liability company, (v) GSO Holdings I L.L.C., which is a Delaware limited liability company, and (vi) GSO Capital Partners LP, which is a Delaware limited partnership (GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, GSO Energy Market Opportunities Associates LLC, GSO Holdings I L.L.C., GSO Capital Partners LP and the GSO Funds, collectively, the GSO Entities);
Bennett J. Goodman and J. Albert Smith III, each of whom is a citizen of the United States of America (collectively, the GSO Executives);
