This Amendment No. 9, dated July 27, 1999, amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 30, 1990, as
amended and supplemented by Amendments No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
and 8 by Lyonnaise American Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("LAH"), and Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux (formerly Lyonnaise des
Eaux), a French societe anonyme ("Lyonnaise"), and is filed to
reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the common
stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of United Water
Resources Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Issuer"). This
Amendment No. 9 reflects the consummation of the transaction
previously disclosed, pursuant to which the undersigned have
acquired ownership of all of the outstanding shares of the
Issuer. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 9 constitutes the Final
Amendment to the Schedule 13D.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The following amendment to Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is
hereby made.
ITEM 3. SOURCE OF FUNDS.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by deleting the final paragraph thereof and adding
the following:
Funding for the Merger was provided from Lyonnaise internal
resources and existing bank facilities, the proceeds of which
were provided to LAH.
The following amendment to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is
hereby made.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by adding the following:
On July 27, 2000, the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise and LAH
Acquisition Co. (the "Merger Subsidiary") consummated the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of August 20, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), including
filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of New
Jersey in accordance with which the Merger Subsidiary merged with
and into the Issuer. Upon consummation of the Merger, (i) each
share of the Common Stock not held in the treasury of the Company
or owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise
or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (and all
associated rights under the Issuer's Rights Plan) were
Page 4 of 6
<PAGE>
automatically converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash,
and (ii) each share of 5% Series A Convertible Preference Stock
of the Issuer not held in the treasury of the Company or owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise or any of
their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries was canceled and
converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash multiplied by
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of
Preference Stock was convertible immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger. In addition, the Issuer declared,
effective as of and subject to the effectiveness of the Merger,
and LAH funded (i) a special dividend equal to 30 cents per share
of Common Stock and (ii) a stub period dividend equal to a pro
rata share of the Issuer's regular quarterly dividend accrued
from the prior dividend record date of May 15, 2000, through the
date on which the Merger occurred.
As a result of the merger and the transactions consummated
in connection therewith, the Issuer has become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of LAH. Accordingly, the listing of the Common Stock
on the New York Stock Exchange and the registration of the Common
Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, are being terminated. Promptly after consummation of
the Merger, LAH and Lyonnaise replaced the existing board of
directors of the Issuer with new directors selected by LAH,
including some of the prior directors of the Issuer.
