DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

 

United Industrial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister certain securities originally registered pursuant to the Form S-8 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-135707) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2006 (the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to which the Registrant registered 1,787,204 shares of common stock of the Registrant, par value $1.00 per share for issuance under the Registrant’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”).

 

On October 7, 2007, the Registrant, Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Textron”), and Marco Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Textron (“Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger.  On November 14, 2007, Purchaser purchased a majority of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Registrant.  As a result of such purchase by Purchaser, all options issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan became vested and exercisable. On November 30, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Registrant caused all options issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan to be cashed out.

 

As a result, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated.  In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration the securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
