(“HH LP”), HH-HACI GP, LLC, the general partner of HH LP (“HH LLC”), and Mr. Thomas O. Hicks, the sole member of HH LLC (the “Principal,” together with HH LP and HH LLC, the “Reporting Persons”) relating to (a) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of Resolute Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”); (b) shares of Common Stock of the Issuer subject to forfeiture under certain conditions (“Earnout Shares”); (c) Founder’s Warrants of the Issuer (“Founder’s Warrants”), each of which is exercisable for one share of Common Stock; and (d) Sponsor’s Warrants of the Issuer (“Sponsor’s Warrants”), each of which is exercisable for one share of Common Stock. This Amendment modifies the original Schedule 13D filed on October 5, 2009 (the “Original 13D”).
Item 5.  
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as below:
According to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on November 15, 2010, there are 54,861,239 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 12, 2010.
(a) (i) As of the date hereof, HH LP beneficially owns 0 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0.0% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(ii) As of the date hereof, HH LLC, the general partner of HH LP, beneficially owns 1,567 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0.0% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. These 1,567 shares of Common Stock include 1,567 shares of Common Stock held by HH LLC, and 0 shares of Common Stock held by HH LP or other partnerships for which HH LLC serves as general partner. These 1,567 shares of Common Stock include 186 Earnout Shares and 921 shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of Founder’s Warrants.

However, Founder’s Warrants will be exercisable only if a registration statement relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and current.

(iii) As of the date hereof, the Principal, the sole member of HH LLC, which is the general partner of HH LP, beneficially owns 15,923,465 shares of Common Stock, which represents 23.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (including 7,212,802 Founder’s Warrants and 4,666,667 Sponsor’s Warrants outstanding and beneficially owned by the Principal).

(iv) The Principal has the shared power to vote and dispose of the aggregate of 5,697,683 shares of Common Stock, which include 1,567 shares of Common Stock held by HH LLC, 0 shares of Common Stock held by HH LP and other partnerships for which HH LLC serves as general partner, and 5,696,116 shares of Common Stock held by the Principal’s charitable foundation and estate planning entities for the Principal’s family.

(v) The Principal has the sole power to vote and dispose of the aggregate of 10,225,782 shares of Common Stock held by the Principal. These 10,225,782 shares of Common Stock include Earnout Shares, Common Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of Sponsor’s Warrants, which are exercisable if certain conditions (described in Item 6) are satisfied, and Common Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of Founder’s Warrants, which are exercisable if certain conditions (described in Item 6) are satisfied.

Subject to the limitations above, the Issuer may call Founder’s Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Founder’s Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Founder’s Warrant holder, at any time after such Founder’s Warrants have become exercisable, if, and only if, (a) the last sale price has equaled or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to Founder’s Warrant holders and (b) at all times between the date of such notice of redemption and the redemption date a registration statement is in effect covering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Founder’s Warrants and a current prospectus relating to those Common Stock is available.
Sponsor’s Warrants
