Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Filing.

The Amendment is being made in order to reflect (i) the termination of Jonny Jones as an employee and officer of the Issuer and his associated acquisition of certain shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer; (ii) the grant of certain irrevocable proxies on July 6, 2017 (the “Proxies”) to vote the shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer held by Debora Lynn Jones Trust V, Julie Ann Jarvis Trust V, Jon Rex Jones Loyal Trust, Jon Rex Jones, Jr. Trust V (“JRJ, Jr. Trust V”) and Stephen Martin Jones Trust V (collectively, the “Jones Family Trusts”); (iii) the July 7, 2017 exchange of shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer (together with a corresponding number of JEH Units) held by Jones Energy Equity Partners, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“JEEP”), Jones Energy Equity Partners II, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“JEEP II”) (together with JEEP, the Jones Family Entities”) and JET 3, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“JET 3”), for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis, and the subsequent distribution of such Class A shares to the members of the Jones Family Entities, including JRJ, Jr. Trust V (the “July Exchange and Distribution”); and (iv) the removal of Stephen Martin Jones, JRJ Investment Fund, Ltd. and JRJ Management Company, LLC as members of a group with Jonny Jones.

Item 2.          Identity and Background.

Item 3.          Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended by deleting Item 3 of the Filing in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
 
In connection with the initial public offering of Class A common stock of the Issuer, which was consummated on July 29, 2013 (the “Offering”), the Reporting Persons entered into certain reorganization transactions that included, among other things, (i) amending and restating the limited liability company agreement of JEH LLC; (ii) amending and restating the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to reclassify its existing common stock into Class B common stock and to authorize Class A common stock and Class B common stock; (iii) entering into a restructuring agreement; and (iv) entering into the Exchange Agreement.
 
The Issuer, JEH LLC, the Reporting Persons and certain other parties thereto entered into a restructuring agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to effect a recapitalization of the equity ownership in the Issuer and JEH LLC (the “Reorganization”), immediately prior to the closing of the Offering.
 
The Restructuring Agreement, in conjunction with the JEH LLC Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below), effected the following recapitalization transactions:
 
(i)           Immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, all of the limited liability company interests in JEH LLC held by the Reporting Persons and the other members of JEH LLC were exchanged for a number of JEH LLC Units equal to 36,836,333 multiplied by such party’s proportionate share of JEH LLC;
 
(ii)          At the closing of the Offering, JEH LLC exchanged its shares of common stock of the Issuer for shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer and immediately distributed such shares to the Reporting Persons and the other members of JEH LLC in proportion to the number of JEH LLC Units held by each member; and
 
(iii)            Upon consummation of the Offering, the Issuer contributed the net proceeds from the Offering to JEH LLC in exchange for JEH LLC Units.
 
The Restructuring Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.
 
On April 22, 2014, Jonny Jones resigned as the Manager of JRJ Management, the general partner of JRJ Investment Fund, and Stephen Jones was appointed as his successor. No consideration was exchanged in connection with the resignation of Jonny Jones or the appointment of Stephen Jones as the Manager of JRJ Management. As a result of the foregoing, Jonny Jones ceased to have voting or dispositive power over the shares of Class A common stock held by JRJ Investment Fund and Stephen Jones became the indirect beneficial owner of such shares by virtue of his position as the Manager of JRJ Management.
 
On July 7, 2017, Jones Energy Equity Partners, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“JEEP”), Jones Energy Equity Partners II, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“JEEP II”) and certain other Class B shareholders (together with JEEP and JEEP II, the Jones Family Entities”) exchanged an aggregate of 6,105,148 shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer (together with a corresponding number of JEH Units) for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. Immediately following such exchange, the Jones Family Entities distributed an aggregate of 6,105,148 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer to their respective members, including, as applicable, JET 3 and the Jones Family Trusts (the “July Exchange and Distribution”).
 
Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended by deleting Item 4 of the Filing in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
 
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Class A common stock reported herein solely for investment purposes.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Persons are permitted to exchange their JEH LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock (on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions). The Class B common stock is not registered under Section 12 of the Act and has only voting rights and no economic rights.  The Reporting Persons, along with certain other shareholders of the Issuer, have registration rights with respect to the Class A common stock, as well as the right to appoint two directors to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement, which is described in Item 6 (which description is incorporated herein by reference).


In determining from time to time whether to sell the shares of Class A common stock reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters, and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable.  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.  The Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or the Board, other stockholders, industry analysts, investment and financing professionals 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 Common Stock; or (2) 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 shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock 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.

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended by deleting Item 5 of the Filing in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Fourth Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of JEH LLC and Amendment No. 1 thereto

In connection with the Reorganization and the Offering, JEH LLC, the Reporting Persons  and the other members of JEH LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of JEH LLC (the “JEH LLC Agreement”) to, among other things, recapitalize JEH LLC, such that each member’s ownership of the various classes of units thereof was replaced with one authorized class of units therein.  Pursuant to the restructuring transactions described in the Restructuring Agreement above, the various classes of units in JEH LLC which were outstanding immediately prior to the recapitalization were cancelled and (i) 36,836,333 JEH LLC Units were issued in exchange therefor and (ii) 12,500,000 JEH LLC Units were issued to the Issuer in connection with the Offering.  The Issuer is the sole managing member of JEH LLC and generally has the authority to operate and control JEH LLC.

Distributions

Under the JEH LLC Agreement, the Issuer has the right to determine when distributions will be made to the holders of JEH LLC Units and the amount of any such distributions. If the Issuer authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the holders of JEH LLC Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of JEH LLC Units. The holders of JEH LLC Units, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any taxable income of JEH LLC and will be allocated their proportionate share of any taxable loss of JEH LLC. Net profits and net losses of JEH LLC generally will be allocated to holders of JEH LLC Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of JEH LLC Units, except that certain non-pro rata adjustments will be required to be made to reflect built-in gains and losses and tax depletion, depreciation and amortization with respect to such built-in gains and losses.

The JEH LLC Agreement provides, to the extent cash is available, for distributions to the holders of JEH LLC Units if the Issuer, as the managing member of JEH LLC, determines that the taxable income of JEH LLC will give rise to taxable income for a unitholder. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on the Issuer’s estimate of the taxable income of JEH LLC that is allocable to a holder of JEH LLC Units, multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses and the character of our income). In addition, if the cumulative amount of federal, state and local taxes payable by the Issuer exceeds the amount of the tax distribution to the Issuer, JEH LLC will make advances to the Issuer in an amount necessary to enable the Issuer to fully pay these tax liabilities. Such advances will be repayable, without interest, solely from (i.e., by offset against) future distributions by JEH LLC to the Issuer.

Issuance and Redemption of Class A common stock by the Issuer

The JEH LLC Agreement provides that, except as otherwise determined by the Issuer, at any time the Issuer issues a share of Class A common stock or any other equity security of the Issuer, the net proceeds received by the Issuer with respect to such issuance, if any, shall be concurrently invested in JEH LLC, and JEH LLC shall issue to the Issuer one JEH LLC Unit or other economically equivalent equity interest. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired, JEH LLC shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of JEH LLC Units held by the Issuer, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Business Activities

Under the JEH LLC Agreement, the members have agreed that certain members and/or one or more of their respective affiliates are permitted to engage in business activities or invest in or acquire businesses which may compete with the Issuer’s business or do business with any client thereof.

Dissolution and Liquidation

JEH LLC will be dissolved only upon the first to occur of (i) the sale of substantially all of its assets or (ii) an election by the Issuer to dissolve the JEH LLC. Upon dissolution, JEH LLC will be liquidated and the proceeds from any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following manner: (a) first, to creditors (including to the extent permitted by law, creditors who are members) in satisfaction of the liabilities of JEH LLC, (b) second, to establish cash reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities and (c) third, to the members in proportion to the number of JEH LLC Units owned by each of them.

On August 26, 2016, in connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock, JEH LLC amended and restated its Limited Liability Company Agreement (as amended, the “JEH LLC Agreement”). The amendments to the JEH LLC Agreement included, among other things, the creation of a new series of preferred units (the “JEH Mirror Preferred Units”). In consideration of the Company’s contribution of the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock to JEH LLC, JEH LLC has issued to the Company a number of JEH Mirror Preferred Units equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock issued by the Company in the offering of Preferred Stock after the full exercise of the Preferred Stock Underwriters’ over-allotment option.

On September 30, 2016, Jones Energy, Inc., in its capacity as the managing member of JEH LLC, and the other members of JEH LLC entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2016 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended JEH LLC Agreement”).  The Amendment provides clarification regarding the Company’s ability, in its capacity as the managing member of JEH LLC, to cause JEH LLC to make certain distributions to the Company in respect of anticipated cash dividends payable on the Company’s 8.0% Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock and for general and administrative expenses.

The JEH LLC Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.  The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with the Reporting Persons and certain other parties thereto. The Stockholders Agreement grants each of Metalmark and, collectively, the Jones Family Entities and JET 3 the right to nominate two members of the Issuer’s board of directors so long as Metalmark and, collectively, the Jones Family Entities and JET 3, as applicable, holds not less than 50% of the common stock that they hold immediately following the Offering and the right to nominate one member of the Issuer’s board of directors so long as they hold not less than 20% of the common stock that they hold immediately following the Offering. The Stockholders Agreement also requires the stockholders party thereto to take all necessary actions, including voting their shares of common stock, for the election of these nominees.

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement contains provisions with respect to demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights as described in the prospectus, dated July 23, 2013 (File No. 333-188896) (the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At any time after 180 days after the consummation of the Offering, each of Metalmark and, collectively, the Jones Family Entities and JET 3 will have the right to require the Issuer by written notice to register the sale of any number of their shares of common stock and will have the right to cause up to an aggregate of three such required or “demand” registrations.

On May 2, 2017, the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with certain entities affiliated with the Jones family (the “Jones Family Entities”), Metalmark and JVL.
 
The Restated Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement, dated July 29, 2013 (the “Original Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Metalmark and the Jones Family Entities, to, among other things, provide JVL with certain rights, in addition to those rights granted to Metalmark and the Jones Family Entities in the Original Agreement, to require the Issuer to register the sale of any number of JVL’s shares of Class A common stock. JVL shall have the right to cause no more than one such required or “demand” registration, which shall be requested by a majority in interest of the JVL holders who hold certain equity securities of the Issuer or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities of the Issuer.

The Issuer is not obligated to affect any demand registration in which the anticipated aggregate offering price included in such offering is equal to or less than $50,000,000 ($25,000,000 where the registration is on a Form S-3). Furthermore, if, at any time, the Issuer proposes to register an offering of Class A common stock (subject to certain exceptions) for the Issuer’s own account, then it must give prompt notice to Metalmark, JVL and the Jones Family Entities to allow them to include a specified number of their shares in that registration statement. These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration and the Issuer’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Issuer will generally be obligated to pay all registration expenses in connection with the registration obligations, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The Restated Agreement also includes customary provisions dealing with indemnification, contribution and allocation of expenses.

The Restated Agreement, a copy of which was filed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2017, is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Under the Amended and Restated Jones Energy, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), established in conjunction with the Issuer’s IPO and restated on May 4, 2016 following approval by the Issuer’s stockholders, the Issuer has reserved a total of 8,505,313 shares of Class A common stock for non-employee director, consultant, and employee stock-based compensation awards.  The LTIP provides for the issuance of stock options (incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options), restricted stock, performance awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock awards, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and cash awards.

The Issuer granted (i) performance share unit and restricted stock unit awards to certain officers and employees and (ii) restricted shares of Class A common stock to the Issuer’s non-employee directors under the LTIP during 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. During 2016 and 2017, the Issuer also granted performance unit awards to certain members of the senior management team under the LTIP, including Jonny Jones.

The LTIP is attached hereto as Exhibit 8 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
