TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-4 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) amends the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-43656) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  The Registration Statement registered 5,600,000 shares of 7% Series A Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the “Preferred Stock”), consisting of 4,599,300 shares of Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, SCC Merger Co. and Stone Container Corporation.  The number of shares of Preferred Stock registered thereby also included up to 1,000,700 additional shares of Preferred Stock to be issued from time to time upon the declaration of dividends in respect of the Preferred Stock by the Company’s board of directors.  The Registration Statement also registered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 7% Convertible Subordinated Exchange Debentures issuable upon the conversion, exchange or redemption of the Preferred Stock (the “Debentures”).

 

On January 26, 2009, the Company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware (the “U.S. Court”). On the same day, the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries also filed to reorganize under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada (the “Canadian Court” and together with the U.S. Court, the “Bankruptcy Courts”).

 

As previously disclosed, on June 21, 2010, the U.S. Court entered an order confirming the Modified Joint Plan of Reorganization for Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation and its Debtor Subsidiaries and Plan of Compromise and Arrangement for Smurfit-Stone Container Canada Inc. and Affiliated Canadian Debtors, dated May 26, 2010 (the “Plan”).  On May 13, 2010, the Canadian Court approved the Plan.  The Plan became effective on June 30, 2010.  Under the Plan, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock received a pro-rata distribution of 2,172,175 shares of new common stock issued by the Company’s subsidiary, Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc., into which the Company was merged pursuant to the Plan, and the holders of the Preferred Stock received a pro-rata distribution of 2,172,174 shares of such new common stock.  Upon such distributions, all of the Company’s  Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Debentures were cancelled.

 

Pursuant to an undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister, as of the date of its filing, all securities unsold or unissued under the Registration Statement.  The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.

 

Effective upon filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company hereby removes from registration, although cancelled, all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold or unissued as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
