DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Superior Essex Inc. (the “Company”):

File No. 333-125165, pertaining to the registration of 2,483,333 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (“Common Stock”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on May 23, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”).

On June 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with LS Corp. (formerly known as LS Cable Ltd.), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Parent”). The Agreement was joined by Cyprus Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc. (“Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of New LS Cable, pursuant to a Joinder Agreement dated as of June 30, 2008. The Agreement was further joined by LS Cable Ltd. (“New LS Cable”), a newly established corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to an Assignment and Joinder Agreement dated as of July 2, 2008. The Agreement contemplated that Purchaser would merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as an indirect subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on August 7, 2008 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (the “Effective Time”) as a result of filing a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was cancelled and (other than shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company or held by stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) converted into the right to receive $45.00 per share in cash, without interest thereon and less any amounts required to be withheld under applicable U.S. federal, state or local tax laws.

As a result of the Merger, the offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of 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.
