Based on the relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those shares held by any other member of the group. In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

(f) TRC Master Fund is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The General Partner, the Manager, the Holdco and the InvestCo are each organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. Jason Taubman Kalisman is a citizen of the United States.

The aggregate number of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 7,620,570 for which aggregate consideration of $33,966,366 has been paid, consisting of (a) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (b) 1,620,570 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Issuer’s 5.5% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Convertible Notes”), and (c) 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of options (the “Options”) that will be exercisable by the Reporting Persons within 60 days of February 20, 2014. TRC Master Fund holds 40,000 Options and each Option is exercisable for 100 shares of Common Stock. The source of the funds used to purchase the Common Stock, Convertible Notes and Options described above is capital contributions by the partners of such Reporting Persons and the available funds of such entities.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On February 20, 2014, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Board of Directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Issuer formally requesting that the Issuer include two (2) nominees (the “Nominees”) identified by the Reporting Persons in the Issuer’s slate of directors at the forthcoming 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and, in addition and in the alternative, indicating its intent to nominate the Nominees to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the notification letter delivered to the Issuer is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons reserve their rights to make alternative plans or proposals in the future or take any other steps to enhance the value of their investment. The Reporting Persons further reserve the right to increase, decrease or eliminate their investment in the Issuer or take any other action relative thereto.

Stockholders are advised to read the proxy statement and other documents related to solicitation of proxies by Talisman Group Investments, L.L.C. and its affiliates from the stockholders of Endeavour International Corporation for use at the 2014 annual meeting of Endeavour International Corporation at such time as they may be available because they will contain important information.

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a) The aggregate number of Common Stock and the percentage of total outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is set forth below. References to percentage ownerships of Common Stock in this Statement are based upon 48,820,570 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which includes 47,200,000 shares of Common Stock stated to be outstanding in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2013, and 1,620,570 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,620,570 shares of Common Stock (consisting of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 1,620,570 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Options that will be exercisable by the Reporting Persons within 60 days of February 20, 2014), which constitutes 15.61% of the Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those shares held by any other Reporting Person.

TRC Master Fund beneficially owns 7,620,570 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 15.61% of the outstanding Common Stock calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

The InvestCo, which is the sole owner of the Holdco, may be deemed to beneficially own 7,620,570 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 15.61% of the outstanding Common Stock calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

By virtue of the relationship described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those shares held by any other

 

10


member of the group. In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

(b) The number of shares of Common Stock as to which each of the Reporting Persons has sole or shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose or direct the disposition are as set forth in rows seven through ten of the cover pages hereof.
