Explanatory Note

 

On August 21, 2018, A. Schulman, Inc. (the “Company”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of LyondellBasell Industries N.V., a naamloze vennootschap (a public limited liability company) formed under the laws of The Netherlands (“LYB”).  This was effected through a merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2018, by and among the Company, LYB and a wholly owned subsidiary of LYB.

 

The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Closing 8-K”) on August 21, 2018 reporting on the closing of the Merger.  In the Closing 8-K, the Company also reported that it had notified Nasdaq of its intent to remove the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), from listing on Nasdaq and requested that Nasdaq file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist and deregister shares of the Common Stock.  The Form 25 was filed with the SEC on August 21, 2018 and trading of the Common Stock on Nasdaq was halted prior to the opening of trading on that day.  The Company also reported that it intended to file a Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the purpose of terminating the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspending the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  In addition to the Common Stock, the Company had outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”) and 6.00% Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Special Stock (the “Convertible Special Stock”), neither of which was registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

The Company filed the Form 15 referenced in the Closing 8-K on September 20, 2018.  The Form 15 incorrectly listed only the Senior Notes and the guarantees thereof, omitting references to the Common Stock and the Convertible Special Stock and the check mark in the boxes for Rule 12g-4(a)(1) and Rule 15d-6.  This Amendment No. 1 on Form 15/A is being filed with respect to the Company to correct these omissions.

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, A. Schulman, Inc. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
