DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This post-effective amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 (the
“Post-Effective Amendment”
) relates to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-166325) (the
“Registration Statement”
) of Arkanova Energy Corporation (the
“Registrant”
) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2010. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Registrant registered certain shares of its common stock issued or issuable pursuant to its 2008 amended stock option plan.
The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister 5,000,000 shares (the
“Shares”
), being all of the shares registered under the Registration Statement that remain unissued as of the date hereof. The Registrant is deregistering the Shares because the Registrant does not expect the holders of the outstanding stock options granted pursuant to its 2008 amended stock option plan will exercise the stock options and any future issuances of shares of its common stock pursuant to its 2008 amended stock option plan are expected to be occur in reliance on one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Austin, State of Texas, on December 29, 2016.
