DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

On April 3, 2007, Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AMO”), filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-141823) (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a total of 2,171,480 shares of AMO common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), including the associated rights to purchase shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of AMO that are attached to all shares of AMO’s Common Stock in accordance with the Rights Agreement, dated June 24, 2002, by and between AMO and Mellon Investor Services, LLC, available for grant under the IntraLase Corp. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Registration Statement also automatically covered any additional shares of Common Stock that become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of AMO Common Stock.

 

On February 26, 2009, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2009, among AMO, Abbott Laboratories, an Illinois corporation (“Parent”), and Rainforest Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into AMO (the “Merger”), with AMO surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  Concurrently with the Merger, AMO changed its name to Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (the “Company”).  As a result of the Merger, AMO’s Common Stock is no longer publicly traded.  Accordingly, the Company wishes to terminate the offering of securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

Pursuant to the undertaking made by AMO in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and to deregister all of the shares of Common Stock that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
