DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by Exide Technologies (the “Registrant”):

File No. 333-123807, filed on April 4, 2005, pertaining to the registration of 180,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), available for issuance under the Employment Agreement by and between Exide Technologies and Gordon A. Ulsh, as amended.

File No. 333-128897, filed on October 7, 2005, pertaining to the registration of 3,125,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended.

File No. 333-138766, filed on November 16, 2006, pertaining to the registration of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended.

File No. 333-161946, filed on September 16, 2009, pertaining to the registration of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Exide Technologies 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended.

File No. 333-168479, filed on August 2, 2010, pertaining to the registration of 750,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Employment Agreement by and between Exide Technologies and James R. Bolch and Restricted Stock Award Agreement by and between Exide Technologies and James R. Bolch, as amended.

On June 10, 2013, the Registrant filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. On March 27, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Registrant’s plan of reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”). The Registrant emerged from Chapter 11 on April 30, 2015. Holders of the Registrant’s then existing Common Stock did not receive any distribution under the Plan of Reorganization and their shares were cancelled on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization.

As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings, the offerings pursuant to the Registration Statements have been terminated. Effective immediately upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statements, the Registrant hereby deregisters all Common Stock originally registered under the Registration Statements that have not been sold as of April 30, 2015.
