TO
SCHEDULE 13E-3
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3/A”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 filed by Green SEA Resources Inc. and GSR Acquisition Corp. on August 8, 2011, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13E-3 filed on October 21, 2011, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13E-3 filed on November 17, 2011 and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13E-3 filed on December 1, 2011, in connection with the going-private transaction of Natural Resources USA Corporation (“NRUC”). All information set forth in this final amendment should be read in conjunction with the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Schedule 13E-3, as amended to date.
The going-private transaction whereby Green SEA Resources Inc. contributed all shares of NRUC common stock held by it to its wholly-owned subsidiary, GSR Acquisition Corp., and whereby GSR Acquisition Corp. effected a short-form merger and merged with and into NRUC pursuant to Section 1104 of the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act became effective on December 28, 2011. NRUC is the corporation surviving the going-private transaction, and as a result of the going-private transaction, Green SEA Resources Inc. now owns 100% of the common stock of NRUC.
Pursuant to the terms of the going-private transaction, each outstanding share of common stock, other than shares owned by GSR Acquisition Corp. and other than shares as to which dissent rights are exercised, held immediately prior to the effective time now represents only the right to receive $0.57 per share in cash, without interest. Further, each outstanding stock option not exercised prior to the effective date was cancelled and exchanged into the right to receive $0.57 per share in cash, without interest and less the option exercise price and less any required withholding taxes.
On December 28, 2011, NRUC issued a press release announcing completion of the going-private transaction and such release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to NRUC’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 28, 2011.
Prior to the completion of the going private transaction, Wayne Richardson replaced Alan De’ath as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Green SEA Resources Inc. and Alan De’ath became the Deputy Chairman of Green SEA Resources Inc.
