Explanatory Note:

 

This amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on January 12, 2009, by Lubar Equity Fund, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on September 24, 2009, and Amendment No. 2 on June 22, 2022, (collectively, as amended, the "Schedule 13D"), and it is being filed to report a change to the Schedule 13D relating to an interest payment paid in shares  of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Issuer Common Stock"), of Hallador Energy Company (formerly known as Hallador Petroleum Company), a Colorado corporation (the "Issuer"). Each item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding item of Schedule 13D. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, the previous disclosures in the Schedule 13D remain in effect. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this document have the meanings ascribed to them in Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

Prior to February 23, 2024, Lubar Equity Fund, LLC (“LEF”), a Wisconsin limited liability company, held 2,788,685 shares of Issuer Common Stock. Such shares were purchased from the Issuer in private placements or from shareholders of the Issuer in private transactions, for cash from the working capital of LEF. The Reporting Entity, Lubar & Co., Incorporated, is the sole manager of LEF, and as a result, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common stock held by LEF.

 

Prior to February 23, 2024, Lubar Opportunities Fund I, LLC (“LOFI”), a Wisconsin limited liability company held 1,152,872 shares of Issuer Common Stock. Such shares were purchased from the Issuer upon conversion of two convertible notes issued by the Issuer to LOFI. The Reporting Entity, Lubar & Co., Incorporated, is the sole manager of LOFI, and as a result, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common stock held by LOFI.

 

On February 23, 2024, the Company elected to pay the interest due on two unsecured convertible promissory notes issued by the Issuer to LOFI in the amount equal to 51,168 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.  The Reporting Entity, Lubar & Co., Incorporated, is the sole manager of LOFI, and as a result, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common stock held by LOFI.

 

In accordance with the policies and procedures of the Reporting Person, Lubar & Co., Incorporated serves as investment manager over, and exercises in its sole discretion the entire voting and dispositive power with respect to, all shares of the Issuer held by each of LEF and LOFI.

 

Mr. David J. Lubar serves as the CEO of Lubar & Co., Incorporated, and as a result, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Issuer Common stock held by LEF and LOFI.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

As of February 23, 2024, Lubar & Co., Incorporated beneficially owns 3,992,725 shares of Issuer Common Stock with shared voting and dispositive power, consisting of 2,788,685 shares held by LEF and 1,204,040 shares held by LOFI.
