DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Horizon Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statements on Form S-8 to withdraw and remove from registration the unissued and unsold shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable by the Company pursuant to its 2005 Stock Plan, 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan previously registered by the Company pursuant to the following registration statements:

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-175876), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2011;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-180651), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2012;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-187326), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2013;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-192316), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2013;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-192560), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2013;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-192998), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2013;

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-194871), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2014; and

 

    Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-197206), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2014 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”).

On September 18, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, a Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 18, 2014, by and among the Company, Vidara Therapeutics Holdings LLC, Horizon Pharma Public Limited Company (formerly Vidara Therapeutics International Ltd.) (“Horizon Pharma plc”), Hamilton Holdings (USA), Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Pharma plc (“U.S. HoldCo”), and Hamilton Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. HoldCo (“Merger Sub”) (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 19, 2014 (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company and the Company became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Horizon Pharma plc (the “Merger”). Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and automatically converted into and became the right to receive one ordinary share, nominal value $0.0001 per share, of Horizon Pharma plc.

As a result of the Merger, the Company terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of its Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statements which remained unsold as of the effective time of the Merger.
