Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Futurefuel Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the executive offices of the Issuer is 8235 Forsyth Blvd., Suite 400, St. Louis, Missouri 63105.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

(a-f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Osmium Special Situations Fund Ltd.(the “Fund”), Osmium Capital Management Ltd (“Osmium”), and Chris Kuchanny (“Mr. Kuchanny” and together with Osmium and the Fund, the “Reporting Persons”).

Mr. Kuchanny, a citizen of the United Kingdom, has a business address of Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM 11, Bermuda. His principal occupation is chairman and chief investment officer of Osmium.

Osmium is a Bermuda exempted limited liability company which has its principal office at Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM 11, Bermuda. The principal business of Osmium is to serve as investment manager to the Fund and to control the investing and trading in securities of the Fund. The principal business of the Fund is to invest and trade in securities.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been: (i) convicted in any criminal proceeding, or (ii) a party to any civil proceeding commenced before a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is now subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of the $401,900.28 used by the Fund on December 29, 2009 to purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the source of the funds used to make all prior purchases of shares of Common Stock or warrants to purchase such shares, was the working capital of the Fund.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On behalf of the Fund, Osmium has directed the purchase of the Warrants as an investment for the Fund. Osmium and the Fund share investment power and voting power with respect to the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock reported by them (the “Shares” and together with the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are reported herein, the “Securities”). Mr. Kuchanny, who serves as the control persons of Osmium, shares investment power and voting power with respect to the Securities reported by Osmium and the Fund. The Fund acquired the Securities because Osmium considered them to be an attractive investment opportunity. Osmium may cause the Fund to make further acquisitions of warrants, shares of Common Stock or of other types of securities of the Issuer from time to time or to dispose of any or all of the Securities held by the Fund at any time.

Osmium intends to review continuously the Fund’s investment in the Issuer and may in the future change its present course of action. Depending upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general economic, financial market and industry conditions, Osmium may cause the sale of all or part of the Securities held by the Fund, or may cause the purchase of additional securities of the Issuer, in privately negotiated transactions, as part of a cash tender offer or exchange offer, or otherwise. Any such purchases or sales may be made at any time without prior notice. Depending upon the foregoing factors or other factors not listed herein, the Reporting Persons may formulate other purposes, plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer, the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Issuer.

The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above. Except as otherwise described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons currently have no plan or proposal which relates to, or would result, in any of the events or transactions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate such plans or proposals in the future.
