13D/A |
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) is being filed as a final amendment to the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on June 6, 2008 (the Schedule 13D) by (a) HBMA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (b) (i) Dr. Adolf Merckle, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, (ii) Ms. Ruth Merckle, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, (iii) Mr. Ludwig Merckle, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, (iv) Mr. Tobias Merckle, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, (v) Dr. Philipp Merckle, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, and (vi) Ms. Jutta Breu (nee Jutta Merckle), a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, relating to beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, $.001 par value (Shares) of U.S. Concrete, Inc. (the Issuer).
On June 8, 2009, the reporting persons filed Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D to reflect a change in the reporting persons due to (i) the conversion of HBMA Holdings, Inc. to HBMA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and (ii) the death of Dr. Adolph Merckle. Dr. Merckles beneficial ownership interest in Shares of the Issuer was transferred to his son, Mr. Ludwig Merckle, who, as a result of disclaimers by two of his siblings, is Dr. Merckles sole heir.
On September 22, 2009, the reporting persons filed Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D to report that Ms. Ruth Merckle, Mr. Ludwig Merckle, Mr. Tobias Merckle, Dr. Philipp Merckle and Ms. Jutta Breu ceased to have any beneficial ownership in the Shares of the Issuer, as a result of transactions involving the sale of their controlling interest in the capital stock of HeidelbergCement AG, the ultimate parent corporation of HBMA Holdings LLC.
This amendment is filed to report that, as of August 31, 2010, HBMA Holdings LLC no longer beneficially owns any Shares because the Shares were cancelled as a result of the effectiveness of the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D, as previously amended. |

HBMA is a Delaware limited liability company, formerly known as HBMA Holdings, Inc., whose principal business is the ownership of subsidiary companies whose core products are cement, ready-mixed concrete, aggregates, concrete and steel pipe, brick and related products.
