(1) This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 relates to up to 132,891 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $1 per share, issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding stock options (the "Options") under the Lake Michigan Financial Corporation Stock Incentive Plan of 2012 and the Lake Michigan Financial Corporation Stock Incentive Plan of 2003 (collectively, the “Plans”), and assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the Merger described below under "Explanatory Note."  The Registrant has previously registered 4,324,573 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-202555), which was declared effective March 25, 2015.
   
(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(f) under the Securities Act.  The proposed maximum aggregate offering price was calculated by multiplying (i) 70,160, the estimated maximum number of shares of Lake Michigan Financial Corporation common stock subject to the Options by (ii) $28.67, the book value per share of Lake Michigan Financial Corporation common stock as of April 30, 2015.  The Registrant previously paid a filing fee of $4,306.43 in connection with registering 4,324,573 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-202555), which was declared effective March 25, 2015.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Effective May 31, 2015, the merger (the "Merger") of Lake Michigan Financial Corporation ("LMFC") with and into Chemical Financial Corporation ("Chemical") was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 5, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement"). As a result, each former share of LMFC common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.326 shares of Chemical common stock and $16.64 in cash. In addition, each outstanding Option ceased to represent a stock option for LMFC common stock and was converted into a stock option for Chemical common stock (subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement) and Chemical assumed the Plans. The Options continue to have, and are subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Plans (or any other agreement to which an Option was subject immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger), except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-202555), which was declared effective March 25, 2015, Chemical previously registered 4,324,573 shares of its common stock, representing the aggregate maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the Merger for outstanding shares of LMFC common stock.

 

Pursuant to this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 Registration Statement, Chemical is registering an additional 132,891 shares of its common stock issuable upon the exercise of Options under the Plans.

 

Chemical is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and General Instruction K to Form S-4. The contents of Chemical's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-202555) are incorporated by reference herein. The required opinions and consents are listed on an Exhibit Index attached hereto and filed herewith.
