Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of the common stock, $5.00 par value per share (the “Shares”), of RGC Resources, Inc. (the “Company”), a Virginia corporation with offices at 519 Kimball Avenue, N.E., Roanoke, Virginia 24016, beneficially owned by Anita G. Zucker. Mrs. Zucker is amending her Schedule 13D to reflect her current ownership of Shares of the Company.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Shares reported in this Schedule 13D were purchased by The Article 6 Marital Trust, under The First Amended and Restated Jerry Zucker Revocable Trust dated April 2, 2007 (the “Zucker Trust”), using its available funds. The total amount paid by the Zucker Trust was $20,299,467.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Zucker Trust acquired the Shares for investment purposes. Mrs. Zucker and the Zucker Trust will continue to review the performance of and prospects for this investment and their investment alternatives. As part of the ongoing review of their investments in the Shares, they may explore from time to time a variety of alternatives, including the acquisition of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. They may also explore other alternatives with respect to their investments in the Shares, including but not limited to an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Company, changes in the present board of directors or management of the Company, or changes in the Company’s business or corporate structure. As described in Item 6 below, the Company has agreed to add Robert B. Johnston to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Johnston serves as the executive vice president and chief strategy officer for The InterTech Group, Inc., a company affiliated with Mrs. Zucker and the Zucker Trust. Although this paragraph reflects activities presently contemplated by Mrs. Zucker and the Zucker Trust with respect to the Company, their plans are subject to change at any time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The Zucker Trust owns 1,381,227 Shares, or 14.1% of the Company’s outstanding Shares based on 1,381,227 Shares outstanding. Mrs. Zucker, as trustee of the Zucker Trust, has sole voting, investment and dispositive power with respect to the Zucker Trust’s Shares.
On March 28, 2022, the Zucker Trust entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and acquired 1.0 million Shares for a purchase price of $20.00 per share. The Shares were offered and sold through direct negotiations between the Company and the Zucker Trust pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2022 and accompanying base prospectus dated February 14, 2020 under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236275) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2020 and declared effective on February 14, 2020.
In addition to the Shares acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Zucker Trust acquired 13,875 Shares listed in the table below in open market transactions through its broker. Neither Mrs. Zucker nor the Zucker Trust has effected any other transactions in the Shares of the Company during the past sixty days.
