EXPLANATORY NOTE
O-I Glass, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company or the Registrant), files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-232954) (the Registration Statement) as the successor issuer to Owens-Illinois, Inc., a Delaware corporation (O-I) in connection with the reorganization of O-I into a new holding company structure (the Corporate Modernization).
The Corporate Modernization was completed on December 27, 2019 and was effected through a merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 26, 2019, by and among the Registrant, O-I and Paddock Enterprises, LLC (Paddock). As a result of the Corporate Modernization, O-I merged with and into Paddock, with Paddock continuing as the surviving entity and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of O-I, par value $0.01 per share, held immediately prior to the Merger automatically converted into a right to receive an equivalent corresponding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as the corresponding share of common stock of O-I being converted.
Following the Corporate Modernization, the Company is the successor issuer to O-I pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). As the successor issuer, the shares of the Companys common stock are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol OI.
In connection with the Corporate Modernization, on December 26, 2019, O-I Glass and Paddock entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the Assignment and Assumption Agreement), pursuant to which the Company assumed (including sponsorship of) (i) the Owens-Illinois, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the 2017 Plan) and (ii) the Amended and Restated 1997 Equity Participation Plan of Owens-Illinois, Inc., the Second Amended and Restated Owens-Illinois, Inc. 2005 Incentive Award Plan, the Seventh Amended and Restated Owens-Illinois, Inc. Long-Term Savings Plan and the Eighth Amended and Restated Owens-Illinois, Inc. Stock Purchase and Savings Program (the Additional Plans).
In accordance with paragraph (d) of Rule 414 under the Securities Act, the Company, as the successor issuer to O-I, hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statement as its own registration statement (except as specifically amended by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1) for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and all securities registered under this registration statement will be securities of the Company rather than of O-I. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 shall become effective immediately upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) pursuant to Rule 462 under the Securities Act. O-I paid all registration fees at the time of filing of the Registration Statement.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 adds to the Registration Statement the Additional Plans. No additional securities are being registered hereby.
