This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Trecora Resources, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) on March 18, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 4, 2021. Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed on behalf of: (i) Pangaea Ventures, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Pangaea”); (ii) Ortelius Advisors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OA”); and (iii) Peter DeSorcy (“Mr. DeSorcy”, and, together with Pangaea and OA, the “Reporting Persons”).

Since the date of Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, Pangaea purchased additional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in open market transactions, as described in further detail in Item 5 below. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to amend Item 3 and Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D to reflect those purchases. Except as amended hereby all statements and disclosures in the Original Schedule 13D remain accurate as of the date of this Amendment No. 2.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Pangaea has expended an aggregate of approximately $16.659 million of its investment capital to acquire the 2,328,024 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) (b) As of the filing date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons, in total, beneficially own 2,328,024 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). The Shares represent approximately 9.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock. Percentages of the Common Stock outstanding reported in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the 24,875,432 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 25, 2021, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2021. OA has voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held by Pangaea, and through ownership and control Mr. DeSorcy has voting and dispositive power over portfolios managed by OA.

(c) Set forth on Schedule A hereto are all transactions in the securities of the Issuer effected during the past sixty days by any Reporting Person, inclusive of certain transactions previously disclosed in the Original Schedule 13D and in Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, and inclusive of any transactions effected through May 5, 2021.

(d) Other than Pangaea that beneficially holds shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and except as set forth in this Item 5, no other person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from or proceeds from the sale, of the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.
