DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement is being filed solely to remove from registration securities that were registered and will not be issued in connection with the Registrant’s offering.
 
IKON Office Solutions, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-3 Registration Statement (Registration No. 33-56457) (the “Registration Statement”) to withdraw and remove from registration the unissued and unsold shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value, issuable pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 27, 2008, between the Company, Ricoh Company, Ltd. (“Ricoh”) and Keystone Acquisition, Inc. (“Sub”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ricoh, Sub is expected to merge with and into the Company on October 31, 2008 (the time of such merger, the “Effective Time”), with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).  The Merger was approved by the holders of the Company’s common stock on October 31, 2008, as required under Ohio law and the terms of the Merger Agreement.  As a result of the Merger, the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (except as otherwise agreed, and excluding shares owned by the Company, as treasury stock, Ricoh or Sub which will be canceled in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and any shares for which stockholders have sought appraisal rights under Ohio law) will be entitled to receive $17.25 in cash per share, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and all such shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger represented any such shares of the Company’s common stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
 
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to certain existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Time.  In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the Company which remain unsold at the termination of the offering subject to the Registration Statement, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unissued or unobligated as of the Effective Time.
