DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is filed by PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and relates to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, No. 333-42520 (the “Registration Statement”), which registered 5,128,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for resale by the selling stockholders identified therein. The Company has no obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the terms of its registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders. Because the Company no longer satisfies the eligibility requirements of Form S-3, the Company has filed this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 on Form S-1 to terminate the registration of any securities that remain unsold under 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 which remain unsold, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration the securities covered by the Registration Statement which remain unsold.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-3 on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
