Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 3 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is filed by Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and amends the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed on March 19, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on March 30, 2018, and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on April 12, 2018 (as so amended, the “Transaction Statement”).

 

The Transaction Statement relates to the adoption of amendments to the Partnership’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, by majority written consent in lieu of a meeting of limited partners, which amendments authorize the general partner to effect pro rata splits and combinations of partnership interests, including reverse splits (the Amendments”). In conjunction with the adoption of the Amendments, the board of directors of the general partner authorized a reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our Units on the basis of one post-split Unit for each 2,000 pre-split Units.

The Partnership has filed concurrently herewith an amended revised definitive information statement (the “Information Statement”) and a copy of the Information Statement is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit (a)(1). Except as described, no other changes have been made to the original filing.
