This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by China Natural Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) as Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2009. The Company has determined that no material modification to the right of security holders has occurred through the warrant repricing reported in the original current report on Form 8-K, as the exercise price adjustment was a term of the warrants when first issued, and such term was not amended. The Company therefore believes that the current report on Form 8-K should be amended to reflect a report being voluntarily filed pursuant to Form 8-K Item 8.01, rather than filed pursuant to the requirements of Form 8-K Item 3.03.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On January 29, 2009, the Company downwardly adjusted the per share exercise price of warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) from $7.3652 to $3.6826. The Warrants were issued pursuant to the Warrants Agreement dated as of January 29, 2008 (the “Warrant Agreement”) by and among the Company, Deutsche Bank AG, Hong Kong Branch as Warrant Agent and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as Warrant Registrar. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted on the first anniversary of issuance and thereafter, at every six month anniversary beginning in the fiscal year 2009 if the volume weighted average price, or VWAP for the 15 trading days prior to the applicable reset date is less than the then applicable exercise price, in which case the exercise price shall be adjusted downward to the then current VWAP; provided however, that in no event shall the exercise price be adjusted below $3.6826 per share.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
