PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited
 
We are a leading China-based, non-state-owned contract manufacturer of high precision cold-rolled narrow strip steel products. We convert steel manufactured by third parties into thin steel sheets and strips according to our customers’ specifications. We produce precision ultra-thin, high-strength cold-rolled steel products, with thicknesses starting from 0.05mm  width up to 600 mm and tolerance +/- 0.003mm.  We sell our products to domestic Chinese customers who primarily operate in the food and packaging, construction materials, telecommunications cable and equipment and electrical appliances industries. The cold-rolled precision steel industry is relatively new in China. Manufacturers of products that use specialty precision steel products, including our customers, traditionally imported raw materials from Japan, South Korea, the European Union and the United States.
 
We believe that our significant growth reflects our success in increasing market penetration and expanding our production lines. As a net importer of high-end precision products, China currently still lacks the capability to produce high-end precision steel products. Our success in the past mainly came from being able to expand into products which replace expensive imported products and being able to manufacture these types of products at a cost-efficient level compared to other domestic Chinese manufacturers. We believe our technology and product development capability has been a key factor in our success.
 
Our PRC manufacturing facility is located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.  We operate six sets of cold-rolled steel production lines with a current annual steel processing capacity of approximately 250,000 metric tons and a chromium-plating production line with an annual processing capacity of approximately 50,000 metric tons.
 
Prior to 2009, we produced and sold unplated steel sheets to manufacturers or distributors which then further treated or outsourced our products for tin or zinc plating to produce tinplate or zinc-plated steel, or for electrolytic chromic acid treatments to produce chromium plated steel, according to customer specifications.  We added chromium plating facilities in December 2008, and launched mass production of chromium plated steel products in February 2009.   Going forward, we plan to use a significant portion of the net proceeds of our June 2010 private placement to expand our cold-rolled steel processing capacity to 400,000 metric tons by the fourth quarter of 2010 and to 500,000 metric tons by 2011, to accelerate the expansion of our chromium-plating production capacity by 200,000 metric tons, and for general working capital purposes related to the expanded production capacity. This expansion will increase our product offerings, which we believe will increase our profit margin.  Newly-added capacity to produce these types of high-end plated steel products will enable us to enhance our higher-margin product offering to meet the increasing demand in the China market for high-end cold-rolled steel products.
 
We are a BVI company that was incorporated on March 11, 2008 under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. We were incorporated solely for the purpose of acquiring the issued share capital of Wealth Rainbow. Our registered office is Palm Grove House, PO Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, BVI and our registered agent is Equity Trust (BVI) Limited of Palm Grove House, PO Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, BVI. Our business operations are conducted through our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Henan Green. Our principal executive offices are located at No. 69 Huaibei Street, Longhai Middle Road, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, 451191. Our telephone number is (86) 371-6897-0951.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Some of these risks include:
 
·
Due to our rapid growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance so evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.
·
A large percentage of our revenues are derived from sales to a limited number of customers and our business will suffer if sales to these customers decline.
·
If our customers which operate in highly competitive markets are willing to accept substitutes in lieu of our products, our business and results of operations will suffer.
·
We may be unable to fund the substantial ongoing capital and maintenance expenditures that our operations require.
·
We are subject to risks of conducting business in China, including the following:

We face uncertainty from the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises' Share Transfer (“Circular 698”) released in December 2009 by China's State Administration of Taxation (SAT), effective as of January 1, 2008.

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country (jurisdiction) where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor shall provide the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfers.

 
2

 

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through the abuse of form of organization and there are no reasonable commercial purposes such that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the tax authority shall have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with the “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes.

“Income derived from equity transfers” as mentioned in this circular refers to income derived by non-resident enterprises from direct or indirect transfers of equity interests in China resident enterprises, excluding shares in Chinese resident enterprises that are bought and sold openly on a stock exchange.

While the term “indirectly transfer” is not defined, we understand that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign entities having no direct contact with China. The relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in every country (jurisdiction) and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. Meanwhile, there are not any formal declarations with regard to how to decide “abuse of form of organization” and “reasonable commercial purpose,” which can be utilized by us to balance if our company complies with the Circular 698.

Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors noted above, the risk factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission and in any applicable prospectus supplement and our other filings with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE
 
The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may sell from time to time up to 3,303,771 ordinary shares. We shall keep the shelf registration statement current and cause it to remain effective to permit the prospectus under the shelf registration statement or any subsequent registration statement to be usable by the selling stockholders until such time the selling stockholders no longer hold any registrable securities, all such registrable securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness date of the shelf registration statement.

In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage of ownership of that selling stockholder, ordinary shares underlying shares of convertible preferred stock, options or warrants held by that selling stockholder that are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, within 60 days of June 4, 2010 are included. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder. Each selling stockholder’s percentage of ownership in the following table is based upon 45,424,209 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 4, 2010 (including shares included in our units).
 
Unless otherwise indicated and subject to community property laws where applicable, the selling stockholders named in the following table have, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by them. In addition, none of the selling stockholders has any family relationships with our officers, directors or controlling stockholders. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated below, the selling stockholders named in the following table (i) purchased the securities covered by this Prospectus in the ordinary course of business, (ii) at the time of the purchase of such securities, had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities, (iii) are not  registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker-dealers; and (iv) have had no position, office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.
 
Information concerning any of the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be presented in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as necessary. Please carefully read the footnotes located below the table in conjunction with the information presented in the table.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
General
 
We were incorporated in the BVI on March 11, 2008 under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the Act.  Our amended and restated memorandum of association authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares without par value.  Subject to the Act, we have full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity and to do any act or enter into any transaction.
 
Ordinary Shares
 
As of January 1, 2009, there were 7,512,583 shares outstanding, not including shares included in our units; as of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and July 28, 2010, there were 40,679,923, 41,878,154, and 45,418,109  shares outstanding, not including shares included in our units, all of which were fully paid.  The differences in the amounts were due to the events described in Description of Securities – Ordinary Shares – Changes in Capital”.

Dividends

Subject to the Act, the directors may, by resolution of directors, authorize a distribution (including a dividend) by us to members (i.e., shareholders) at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the distribution, the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities and we are able to pay our debts as they fall due.  Any distribution payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for three years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the board of the directors so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by us.  The directors may, before authorizing any distribution, set aside out of our profits such sum as they think proper as a reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set apart as a reserve fund upon such securities as they may select.

 
10

 

The holder of each ordinary share has the right to an equal share in any distribution paid by us. We do not intend to pay any dividends to our shareholders in the foreseeable future.
 
Voting Rights
 
Each ordinary share confers on the shareholder the right to one vote at a meeting of the members or on any resolution of members on all matters before our shareholders.
 
Rights in the event of winding up
 
The holder of each ordinary share is entitled to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of us on a winding up.

Redemption

We may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own shares with the consent of members whose shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless we are permitted by the Act or any provision of the amended and restated memorandum of association or the amended and restated articles of association to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the shares without their consent. We may only offer to acquire shares if at the relevant time the directors determine by resolution of directors that immediately after the acquisition the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities and we are able to pay our debts as they fall due.

The directors may make an offer to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares issued by us if the offer is (i) an offer to all members that would, if accepted, leave the relative voting and distribution rights of the members unaffected and affords each member a reasonable opportunity to accept the offer; or (ii) an offer to one or more members which either (1) all members have consented to in writing or (2) the directors have passed a resolution of directors stating that, in their opinion (a) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition is to the benefit of the remaining members and (b) that the terms of the offer and the consideration offered for the shares are fair and reasonable to us and to the remaining members, and setting out the reasons for their opinion.

We may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire our shares at a price lower than the fair value if permitted by, and then only in accordance with, the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or a written agreement for the subscription for the shares to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired.

Changes in the rights of shareholders

The rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not we are being wound-up, must be varied with the consent in writing of all the holders of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class or series.

 
11

 

Meetings

An annual meeting of members must be held each year at such date and time as may be determined by the directors.  The directors shall call a meeting of the members if requested in writing to do so by members entitled to exercise at least 30% of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is being held.  No less than ten days and not more than sixty days notice of meetings is required to be given to members.

A meeting of members is properly constituted if at the commencement of the meeting there are two (2) members present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a member being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one third of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting.

A member shall be deemed to be present at the meeting if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

An ordinary resolution of members is a resolution approved at a duly constituted meeting of members by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such members entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.  A special resolution of members is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of votes cast by such Members as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or, in the case of such Members as are corporations, by their respective duly authorised representative or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which not less than ten (10) clear days’ Notice, specifying (without prejudice to the power contained in these Articles to amend the same) the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution, has been duly given, Provided that, except in the case of an annual general meeting, if it is so agreed by a majority in number of the Members having the right to attend and vote at any such meeting, being a majority together holding not less than ninety-five (95) per cent in nominal value of the shares giving that right and in the case of an annual general meeting, if it is so agreed by all Members entitled to attend and vote thereat, a resolution may be proposed and passed as a special resolution at a meeting of which less than ten (10) clear days’ Notice has been given.  A special resolution shall be effective for any purpose for which an ordinary resolution is expressed to be required under any provision of these Articles or the Act.

The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a member, or the fact that a member has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

A member may be represented at a meeting of members by a proxy (who need not be a member) who may speak and vote on behalf of the member.  A written instrument giving the proxy such authority must be produced at the place appointed for such purpose not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting.

No Limitations on Ownership of Securities

There are no limitations on the right of non-residents or foreign persons to own our securities imposed by BVI law or by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 
12

 

Change in Control of Company

A special resolution of members is required for us to issue our shares or securities convertible into our shares resulting in our change of control.  Additionally, the board of directors is empowered to issue preferred shares with such rights attaching to them as they decide and such power could be used in a manner that would delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our company.

Ownership Threshold

There are no provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed imposed by BVI law or by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Changes in Capital

Subject to the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, our unissued shares shall be at the disposal of the directors who may, without prejudice to any rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class or series of shares, offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the shares to such persons, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as we may by resolution of directors determine.

Subject to the provisions of the memorandum of association relating to changes in the rights of shareholders and the powers of directors in relation to preferred shareholders, we may, by a special resolution of members, amend our memorandum of association to increase or decrease the number of ordinary shares authorized to be issued.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize us to issue registered shares only; we are not authorized to issue bearer shares.
 
At inception the Company was authorized to issue 50,000 ordinary shares with a $1.00 par value.  On August 27, 2008, the Company issued one share to Yuying Lu, who is the daughter of Mr. Mingwang Lu, the Chairman and CEO of the Company.  On September 13, 2008, the Company issued 91 ordinary shares to Oasis Green Investments Limited, or Oasis Green, whose sole shareholder was Ms. Lu; 5 ordinary shares to Plumpton Group Limited, or Plumpton Group; and 3 shares to Honest Joy Group Limited, or Honest Joy, wholly-owned by Francis Wong, one of our directors.  On the same date, Ms. Lu transferred her share to Oasis Green.  Oasis Green, Plumpton Group, and Honest Joy are sometimes referred to in this prospectus as the “Original Stockholders”.
 
During March 2009, the Company amended its memorandum of association by increasing its authorized number of ordinary shares from 50,000 with a $1 par value to 100,000,000 with no par value.  Simultaneously with the amendment, the Company effected a stock split by an additional 29,999,900 shares to the then-current stockholders.  Accordingly, immediately after the amendment and prior to the Company’s merger with COAC on March 17, 2009, the Company had 30,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding.

 
13

 

Also during March 2009 and prior to the Company’s consummation of its merger with COAC, COAC entered into agreements to purchase for cash 4,732,407 of the shares of its common stock sold in its IPO in privately negotiated transactions from certain stockholders who COAC believed would otherwise vote against COAC’s proposed merger described in its proxy statement/prospectus dated February 17, 2009.  Pursuant to such agreements, the sellers gave COAC’s management proxies to vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal, which would revoke prior proxies voted against the proposal, and their shares were cancelled.
 
On March 17, 2009, the Company consummated the merger with COAC.  In connection with the merger, the outstanding securities of COAC were converted into like securities of the Company on a one-for-one basis, consisting of 2,223,306 ordinary shares, 16,021,833 warrants, 22,417 units, and an underwriter’s unit purchase option, or the Unit Purchase Option.  The Company is deemed to be the surviving entity and registered its securities pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC.  Also in connection with the merger with COAC, holders of 1,421,870 shares of COAC’s common stock exercised their conversion rights under COAC’s certificate of incorporation to convert their shares into cash.  As of July 28, 2010, since the merger 15,717 units have been converted into the same number of ordinary shares and 31,434 warrants, and 1,505,315 warrants have been exercised to purchase the same number of ordinary shares.  See “Description of Securities – Warrants”, “Description of Securities – Units”, and “Description of Securities – Underwriter’s Unit Purchase Option” for further information regarding the warrants, units, and Unit Purchase Option, respectively.
 
On October 19, 2009, pursuant to an agreement dated September 15, 2009 among the Company, on one hand, and the Original Stockholders on the other, the Company issued a total of 2,850,000 ordinary shares to the Original Stockholders.  Each of the Original Stockholders received a number of ordinary shares that was proportional to the amount of shares that it would have received under the terms of the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of November 12, 2008, among COAC, the Company, Wealth Rainbow, Henan Green, and the Original Stockholders, or the Merger Agreement, upon the attainment of certain financial milestones after the consummation of the merger thereunder. In consideration of the issuance of the ordinary shares, the Company and the Original Stockholders agreed to a mutual release of certain claims relating to the merger.
 
On November 9, 2009, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement, or the “Underwriting Agreement”, with Maxim Group LLC, or the “Underwriter Representative”, as representative of the underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, to sell to such underwriters 4,800,000 ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company at a price of $5.00 per share for aggregate proceeds (net of discounts, commissions, fees, and expenses) of approximately $21.6 million.  The Company granted the underwriters an option for 45 days to purchase up to 720,000 additional ordinary shares to cover over-allotments, if any. If the over-allotment option was exercised in full, the total additional proceeds to the Company after deducting the underwriter commissions, discounts and other fees will be $3,312,000.  The over-allotment option was exercised in full.  The Company also granted the Underwriter Representative (and its designees) a warrant, or the “Underwriter’s Warrant”.  See “Description of Securities – Underwriter’s Warrant” for further information regarding the Underwriter’s Warrant.

On June 4, 2010, the Company consummated a private placement of 3,303,771 ordinary shares at a price per share of $5.70, for an aggregate purchase price of $18,831,495, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated the same date. The foregoing issuance was made in reliance upon exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
Other Information
 
Information regarding our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, material contracts, exchange controls, and taxation is included in Item 10, “Additional Information” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and incorporated by reference herein.  Additional information regarding the history of our share capital and our material contracts is included in our Report on Form 6-K filed on June 7, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein.  Additional information regarding our ordinary shares can be found in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2009 and incorporated by reference herein.
 
Preferred Shares
 
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize our directors to authorize by resolution or resolutions from time to time, without the approval of our shareholders, the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred shares and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, including, without limitation, the number of shares constituting each such class or series, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers, and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease the size of any such class or series (but not below the number of shares of any class or series of preferred shares then outstanding) to the extent permitted under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended or restated from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such class or series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the preferred shares of any other class or series.
 
Our preferred shares could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. We have no preferred shares outstanding and have not issued any preferred shares. If we offer preferred shares, the terms of that series of preferred shares will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.
 
Warrants
 
As of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and July 28, 2010, there were 15,965,267, 14,767,336, and 14,547,952 warrants to purchase ordinary shares outstanding, respectively, including the Non-Insider Warrants (as defined below), and not including the warrants included in the units.  The differences in the amount was due solely to exercises of warrants and conversions of units.  Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing after the completion of the merger. However, the warrants will be exercisable only if a registration statement relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current, as described below. The warrants will expire on March 19, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.  We may call the Non-Insider Warrants for redemption (excluding any Non-Insider Warrants still held by the original purchasers of such warrants or their affiliates),

 
15

 

 
·
in whole and not in part,
 
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable,
 
·
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and
 
·
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $8.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant. The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing ordinary shares price and the warrant exercise price so that if the stock price declines as a result of the redemption call, the redemption will not be expected to cause the stock price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

If we call the Non-Insider Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the business combination.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and COAC. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 for COAC’s IPO (SEC File No. 333-137716), for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of our ordinary shares at a price below the warrant exercise prices.

 
16

 

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue ordinary shares unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the ordinary shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we will use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so and, if we do not maintain a current prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and we will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the ordinary shares are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, we will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number of ordinary shares.

In connection with the closing of the IPO of COAC, COAC sold 2,266,667 warrants, or Non-Insider Warrants, to the individuals set forth below for $1,360,000 in cash, at a purchase price of $0.60 per warrant as follows:

The Original Stockholders are also entitled under the Merger Agreement to receive an aggregate of $5 million in the event that at least 75% of our outstanding warrants are exercised at an exercise price not less than $5.00 per share.  In such an event, we would receive approximately at least $64.8 million and we would be obligated to pay $5 million in the aggregate to Oasis Green and Plumpton Group.

The Company has reserved for issuance from its authorized shares the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.  Additional information regarding our warrants can be found in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2009 and incorporated by reference herein.

Underwriter’s Warrant

In connection with our November 2009 offering, we agreed to issue to the Underwriter Representative (and its designees) the Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase 144,000 ordinary shares (equal to an aggregate of three (3%) percent of the ordinary shares sold in the offering) for an aggregate purchase price of $100.00.  The Underwriter’s Warrant has an exercise price equal to 120% of the offering price of the ordinary shares sold in this offering, or $6.00.  The Underwriter’s Warrant is exercisable for five years beginning on August 9, 2010 (the nine-month anniversary of the effectiveness date of the registration statement filed in connection with the offering).  The Underwriter’s Warrant is not redeemable by us.  The Underwriter’s Warrant also provides for one demand registration payable by us, one demand registration payable by the holder and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights at our expense with respect to the underlying ordinary shares during the five (5) year period commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to the offering with respect to such demand registrations and the period commencing six (6) months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the offering and ending seven (7) years after such effective date with respect to such “piggy back” registration rights.  Pursuant to the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA (formerly the NASD), and in particular Rule 5110, the warrant (and underlying shares) issued to the Underwriter Representative may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of delivery and payment for the shares offered; provided, however, that the warrant (and underlying shares) may be transferred to officers or partners of the Underwriter Representative and members of the underwriting syndicate and their officers or partners as long as the warrant (and underlying shares) remain subject to the lockup.  The Underwriter Representative has assigned the warrant and its rights thereunder to Maxim Partners LLC.

The Company has reserved for issuance from its authorized shares the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrant.

Underwriter’s Unit Purchase Option

As of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and July 28, 2010, we had one Unit Purchase Option outstanding.  The purchase option, which was issued in connection with the Merger Agreement, entitles its holder to purchase 600,000 units at $6.60 per unit at or before 5:00 pm, New York City local time, on March 19, 2011.  The holder may exercise the purchase option on a cashless basis.  Each unit consists of one ordinary share and two warrants, each to purchase one ordinary share at $5.00 per share on or before March 19, 2011 for a total of 1,800,000 ordinary shares.  The warrants issuable upon the exercise of the purchase option have the same terms as the warrants described above.

 
18

 

The Company has reserved for issuance from its authorized shares the maximum number of ordinary shares, warrants, and ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants, issuable upon conversion of the Unit Purchase Option.

Units
 
We had 12,400, 12,300, and 6,700 units outstanding as of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and July 28, 2010.  The differences in the amounts were due solely to conversions of units.  Each unit consists of one ordinary share and two warrants, each to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  The Company has reserved for issuance from its authorized shares the maximum number of ordinary shares, warrants, and ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants, issuable upon conversion of the units.  Additional information regarding our units can be found in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2009 and incorporated by reference herein.

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of ordinary shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
19

 

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the Commission;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell ordinary shares from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of ordinary shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such ordinary shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 ordinary shares, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

 
20

 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the ordinary shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers.  Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
 
FINRA Rule 5110 requires FINRA member firms (unless an exemption applies) to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 5110 in connection with the resale, on behalf of selling stockholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling stockholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this prospectus through a member of the FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:
 
 
·
it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;

 
·
the complete details of how the selling stockholders’ shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;

 
·
whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and

 
·
in the event any of the securities offered by the selling stockholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling stockholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA for review.

 
21

 

No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 5110, in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling stockholders, which total compensation may not exceed 8%.
 
The Company has advised each selling stockholder that it is the view of the Commission that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of ordinary shares made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission.  If a selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the ordinary shares, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this registration statement.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will have been passed upon for us by Conyers Dill & Pearman, 2901 One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China.
 
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited is a British Virgin Islands corporation and our principal executive offices are located outside the United States in the People’s Republic of China. A majority of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in United States courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether the courts of the British Virgin Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on United States federal or state securities laws.
