This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2022 by Balmoral Swan MergerSub, Inc. (“Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Balmoral Swan Parent, Inc. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation. The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Shares”), of Trecora Resources (“Trecora” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, at a price of $9.81 per Share, net to the holders thereof, in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable tax withholdings, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 25, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO. You should read this Amendment No. 1 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, dated May 25, 2022, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended.

The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

(a)

The information set forth in the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented by (i) revising the title of the section to read “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals; Litigation,” and (ii) adding the following paragraph after the last paragraph of the subsection entitled “State Takeover Laws”:

Legal Proceedings. “On May 31, 2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a complaint against the Company and each member of the Board in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Shiva Stein v. Trecora Resources, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-4474 (the “Stein Complaint”). On June 2, 2022, the Company received a demand from a purported Company stockholder (the “Wilson Demand”). Also on June 2, 2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a complaint against the Company and each member of the Board in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned William Johnson v. Trecora Resources, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-04585 (the “Johnson Complaint”). On June 3,

2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a complaint against the Company and each member of the Board in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned Denise Redfield v. Trecora Resources et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03301 (the “Redfield Complaint,” together with the Stein Complaint and the Johnson Complaint, the “Complaints”). Also on June 3, 2022, the Company received two additional demands from two purported Company stockholders (the “Dixon Demand” and the “Kaufmann Demand,” together with the Wilson Demand, the “Demands”).

The Complaints and Demands allege violations of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14d-9 thereunder against all defendants and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. Each of the Complaints seek injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Transactions, rescissory damages or rescission to the extent the Transactions are consummated, an award of plaintiff’s expenses including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and such other relief the court may deem just and proper. The Stein Complaint also seeks an accounting of damages. The Company believes the claims asserted in each of the Complaints and Demands are without merit.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company and their respective directors in connection with the Offer and the Merger. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Parent, Purchaser, and the Company will not necessarily announce such additional filings.”
