DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Venator Materials PLC, a public limited company
organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), is filing these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective
Amendments”) to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (together, the “Registration Statements”),
which had been previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, to deregister any and all of the Company’s ordinary
shares (the “Ordinary Shares”), registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement
as of the date hereof (note that the number of shares listed below do not take into account corporate actions, such as stock splits, taken
in the interim):
|
· |
Registration Statement No. 333-253826, registering 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Venator Materials 2017 Stock Incentive Plan; and |
|
· |
Registration Statement No. 333-219982, registering 14,025,000 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Venator Materials 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. |
On May 14, 2023, the Company and certain
of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief
(the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter 11”) in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On July 25, 2023,
the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of Venator Materials PLC and its Debtor
Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as subsequently amended, the “Plan”). On October 12,
2023, the Company filed a Notice of Occurrence of the Effective Date of the Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of Venator Materials
PLC and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Further Technical Modifications), upon which the Plan became
effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Company’s
emergence from Chapter 11, the Company has terminated all offerings of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Statements. Effective
upon filing of these Post-Effective Amendments, the Company hereby removes from registration all such Ordinary Shares that are registered
but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any. Effective upon filing of these Post-Effective Amendments, the Registration Statements
are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Ordinary Shares, and the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness
of the Registration Statements.
