Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 27, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 22, 2011, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 8, 2011, Amendment No. 3 filed on August 18, 2011, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 31, 2011 and Amendment No. 5 filed on September 21, 2011 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Shares”), of North American Energy Partners Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at Zone 3 Acheson Industrial Area, 2-53016 Highway 60, Acheson, Alberta, Canada T7X-5A7.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
No material change.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“The funds used for the purchase of the Shares were derived from general working capital, which may have included margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $3,368,185 was paid to acquire the aggregate of 566,900 Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons since the filing of the last report.”
