This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 8”) is being filed with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Green Brick Partners, Inc. (f/k/a BioFuel Energy Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed on June 25, 2007 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on December 31, 2008, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on April 3, 2009, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on September 28, 2010, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on December 20, 2010, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on February 9, 2011, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on July 18, 2014, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on October 31, 2014, and this Amendment No. 8, the “Schedule 13D”).

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed on behalf of Third Point LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Management Company), Daniel S. Loeb, an individual (“Mr. Loeb), Third Point Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Third Point Partners”), and Third Point Partners Qualified LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Third Point Partners Qualified”, and together with the Management Company, Mr. Loeb and Third Point Partners, the “Reporting Persons”).

The Management Company is the investment manager or adviser to a variety of hedge funds and managed accounts (such funds and accounts, collectively, including, but not limited to, Third Point Partners and Third Point Partners Qualified, the “Funds”). The Management Company and Mr. Loeb may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Funds, by virtue of the authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to dispose of the securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock.

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed to amend Item 3, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 of the Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended to reflect the following:

The net investment costs of the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Reporting Persons in connection with the Rights Offering (as defined below) were $28,408,980. The source of these funds was the working capital of the applicable Funds.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to reflect the following:

The Issuer consummated a registered public offering (the “2015 Public Offering”) of Common Stock on July 1, 2015.  Certain of the Funds purchased an aggregate of 2,840,898 shares of Common Stock in the 2015 Public Offering at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.  Of the 2,840,898 shares of Common Stock acquired by the Funds, Third Point Partners acquired 945,668 shares and Third Point Partners Qualified acquired 599,298 shares.

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. Consistent with the Reporting Persons’ investment purposes, each Reporting Person, at any time and from time to time, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of any or all of its securities of the Issuer depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination regarding a maximum or minimum number of securities of the Issuer that it may hold at any point in time.
 
 
 
 
 

 
Also, consistent with their investment purposes, the Reporting Persons have engaged in, and intend to continue to engage in, communications with one or more of the Issuer’s stockholders, officers and/or members of the board of directors relating to topics including, but not limited to, the operations of the Issuer.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D are amended to reflect the following:

(a)            As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Management Company beneficially owns 8,083,022 shares of Common Stock (the “Third Point Shares”). The Third Point Shares represent approximately 16.7% of the Common Stock, based upon the 31,346,084 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 2, 2015 and the additional 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered in the 2015 Public Offering, each based on information provided by the Issuer (the “Outstanding Shares”).

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Mr. Loeb beneficially owns 8,182,965 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 16.9% of the Outstanding Shares; Third Point Partners beneficially owns 2,690,647 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.6% of the Outstanding Shares; and Third Point Partners Qualified beneficially owns 1,705,143 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.5% of the Outstanding Shares. None of the other individual Funds beneficially owns a number of shares of Common Stock representing more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b)            The Management Company has the power to vote and dispose of 8,083,022 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. Mr. Loeb has the power to vote and dispose of 8,182,965 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him. Third Point Partners has the power to vote and dispose of 2,690,647 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. Third Point Partners Qualified has the power to vote and dispose of 1,705,143 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it.

(c)            Other than as described in Item 4, during the past 60 days there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general partners or members.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

The information contained in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the 2015 Public Offering, the Issuer and certain of the Funds (including, but not limited to, Third Point Partners and Third Point Partners Qualified) entered into a Waiver of the Backstop Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2015, waiving certain registration rights of such Funds with respect to the 2015 Public Offering.  The foregoing description of the Waiver of the Backstop Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Waiver of the Backstop Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and incorporated by reference herein.
