EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On March 18, 2002, Puget Energy, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Puget Energy”), filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-84426) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which registered a total of 260,000 shares of common stock of Puget Energy, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to both of the Nonqualified Stock Option Grant Notice/Agreements granted January 7, 2002.

On February 6, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 25, 2007, by and among Puget Energy, Padua Holdings LLC (now Puget Holdings LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Parent”), Padua Intermediate Holdings Inc. (now Puget Intermediate Holdings Inc.), a Washington corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Puget Intermediate”), and Padua Merger Sub Inc. (now Puget Merger Sub Inc.), a Washington corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Puget Intermediate (the “Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Puget Energy, with Puget Energy as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $30.00 in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes (other than any shares owned by the Parent and its subsidiaries and shares for which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised under Washington law).

As a result of the Merger, Puget Energy has terminated all offerings of its securities under existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Puget Energy is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister and remove all the shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement which remain unissued and unsold as of the date hereof.
