This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2019 (the “Schedule TO”) relating to the offer by Midstates Petroleum Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Midstates” or the “Company”), to purchase for cash shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a fixed price per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 14, 2019, as amended by this Amendment (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended by this Amendment (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Tender Offer Documents”), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO.
The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and supplement the Schedule TO and the Tender Offer Documents. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, all terms of the Offer and all other disclosures set forth in the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto remain unchanged and are hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment by reference. This Amendment should be read with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
Items 1 through 11.
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase, to the extent Items 1 through 11 incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:
Certain of our stockholders who are affiliated with certain members of our Board of Directors and own over 10% of our common stock (collectively, the “Affiliated Holders”) have informed us that they may tender Shares that they beneficially own in the Offer. The Affiliated Holders consist of certain funds affiliated with Fir Tree (the “Fir Tree funds”) and separately, certain funds affiliated with Avenue Capital (the “Avenue Capital funds”). The Fir Tree funds and Avenue Capital funds separately beneficially own 25.18% and 13.76%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock, and do not report as a Section 13(d) group for beneficial ownership filing purposes. We do not know whether either of the Affiliated Holders will tender any, some or all of their Shares in the Offer. If either Affiliated Holder does not elect to tender its Shares in the Offer and the Offer is nonetheless subscribed in whole or in part, its respective proportional ownership percentage in the Company would increase. For example, if the Offer is fully subscribed and neither Affiliated Holder has participated in the Offer, then Fir Tree funds and Avenue Capital funds will separately and beneficially own 31.35% and 17.14%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock following the expiration of the Offer as a result of the Company’s purchase of the Shares properly tendered by participating stockholders.
Our directors and executive officers are also entitled to participate in the Offer on the same basis as all other stockholders. We do not know whether or to what extent our directors or executive officers will participate in the Offer. Our directors and executive officers as a group (11 persons) beneficially own an aggregate of 372,472 Shares, representing approximately 1.47% of the total number of outstanding Shares.
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:
Operational Update.
The Company has presented below an operational and strategic update, which includes a summary of its 2018 reserves and preliminary 2018 operational results.

Although the Company considers them reasonable as of the date of this Amendment, certain of the preliminary operational results could change.

(1) Year-end 2018 SEC Pricing: $65.56 per barrel of oil, $29.50 per barrel of NGLs, and $3.10 per million BTUs of gas.
(2) Utilizing flat pricing of $55.00 per Bbl of oil, $24.75 per Bbl of NGLs, and $2.75 per million BTUs of gas.
The Company’s estimated proved reserves for year-end 2018 totaled 72.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”), comprised of 25% oil, 27% NGLs, and 48% natural gas. The Company elected to delay drilling in the fourth quarter of 2018 and reconfigured its drilling program to emphasize two-mile laterals. The revised development strategy reduced PUD inventory to 48 locations at year-end 2018, consisting of 31 two-mile laterals and 17 one-mile laterals developed over 3 years within the SEC five-year development window.
At year-end 2018, the Company’s proved reserves, as prepared utilizing SEC pricing, had a net present value discounted at 10% (“PV10”) of approximately $579.7 million. The Company’s estimated reserves at year-end 2018 were based on the average oil, NGL, and natural gas prices for each month, which were $65.56 per barrel (“Bbl”), $29.50 per Bbl, and $3.10 per million BTUs.
Utilizing flat pricing of $55.00 per Bbl of oil, $24.75 per Bbl of NGLs, and $2.75 per million BTUs, the Company’s year-end 2018 proved reserves had a PV10 value of approximately $425.2 million, 64% higher than its current enterprise value of approximately $259 million.
