Item 1.03 — Bankruptcy or receivership
On September 4, 2024, Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and Bucktown Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (collectively, “Lenders”), filed a Verified Emergency Motion for Appointment of Receiver (the “Motion”) under Civil Case No. 240907138 (the “Receivership Case”), in the District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah (the “Utah State Court”), against NaturalShrimp, Inc. (“NaturalShrimp”), a Nevada corporation.
The Motion alleges, among other things, that NaturalShrimp has defaulted under the terms of its loan agreements with Lenders. The Motion sought the appointment of a Receiver to immediately take control of NaturalShrimp’s assets to preserve same.
An order was entered ex parte by the Utah State Court in the Receivership Case on September 9, 2024 granting the relief requested by Lenders. The Utah State Court duly appointed Amplēo Turnaround and Restructuring, LLC (the “Receiver”) as the receiver over NaturalShrip’s assets. The Utah State Court’s order further scheduled a hearing to be held on September 17, 2024, on a preliminary injunction to address issues raised in the Motion.
On November 20, 2024, Lenders, NaturalShrimp, NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NaturalShrimp USA”), NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NaturalShrimp Global”), and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“Natural Aquatic”) (collectively, the “Receivership Entities”) filed a Verified Amended and Stipulated Emergency Motion for Immediate Appointment of a Receiver (the “Stipulated Motion”) in the Receivership Case.
On November 22, 2024, the Utah State Court entered an order granting the Stipulated Motion and appointed Receiver as the receiver over the assets of NaturalShrimp USA NaturalShrimp Global, and Natural Aquatic Systems pursuant to an amended receivership order (the “Amended Receivership Order”). Under the Amended Receivership Order, the Receiver is the receiver over the Receivership Entities’ assets.
On February 11, 2025, the Receiver filed a Motion for Approval to Sell Substantially all of the Receivership Entities’ Assets to Streeterville Captial, LLC and Bucktown Captial, LLC (or Their Designees) or Any Other Party With a Higher and Better Offer Free and Clear of All Liens, Interests, Claims, and Encumbrances (the “Sale Motion”) in the Receivership Case. The Sale Motion seeks the Utah State Court’s approval for the Receiver to sell substantially all of the Receivership Entities’ assets free and clear of all liens, interests, claims, and encumbrances to Streeterville and Bucktown Capital, through their designated entities, NaturalShrimp Farms, Inc. (“NV Purchaser”), a Nevada corporation, Iowa Shrimp Holdings, LLC (“IA Purchaser”), an Iowa limited liability company, Texas Shrimp Holdings, LLC (“TX Purchaser” or together with NV Purchaser and IA Purchaser, the “Purchasers”), a Texas limited liability company, for a roughly $35,703,789.87 credit bid (based on a secured and administrative claim basis) and $100,000 cash, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between Trustee and Purchasers, which is attached to the Sale Motion as Exhibit 1. Due to Lenders’ large, secured and administrative expense claims and their credit bid of the same, the Receiver does not anticipate that there will be any sale proceeds available for distribution to creditors, investors, shareholders, or equity holders.
A copy of the Sale Motion and its corresponding notice are attached hereto. If you would like a copy of the Sale Motion or more information about the Sale Motion or the Receivership case, please e-mail the Receiver’s legal counsel, Mark C. Rose, at [email protected].
