DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by VWR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 filed by the Company (each a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

On November 21, 2017, the Company completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Vail Acquisition Corp (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avantor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Avantor”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 4, 2017, by and among Avantor, Merger Sub and the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avantor. As a result of the Merger, all offers and sales of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements have been terminated.

In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a Post-Effective Amendment, any of the securities that were registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof.
