TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION
This
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 (this Post-Effective
Amendment) amends the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-31961)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 1997 (the Registration
Statement) by Jefferson Smurfit Corporation, now known as Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company). The Registration Statement registered an
additional 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the Common Stock).
On
January 26, 2009, the Company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries filed
a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware
(the U.S. Court). On the same day, the Companys Canadian subsidiaries also
filed to reorganize under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act in the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada (the Canadian Court and together
with the U.S. Court, the Bankruptcy Courts).
As
previously disclosed, on June 21, 2010, the U.S. Court entered an order confirming
the Modified Joint Plan of Reorganization for Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation and its Debtor Subsidiaries and Plan of Compromise and Arrangement
for Smurfit-Stone Container Canada Inc. and Affiliated Canadian Debtors, dated May 26,
2010 (the Plan). On May 13, 2010,
the Canadian Court approved the Plan.
The Plan became effective on June 30, 2010. Under the Plan, the holders of the Companys
Common Stock received a pro-rata distribution of 2,172,175 shares of new common
stock issued by the Companys subsidiary, Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc.,
into which the Company was merged pursuant to the Plan. Upon such distribution all of the Companys
Common Stock was cancelled.
Pursuant
to an undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, this Post-Effective
Amendment is being filed to deregister, as of the date of its filing, all
shares of the Common Stock unsold or unissued under the Registration
Statement. The Registration Statement is
hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common
Stock.
Effective
upon filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company hereby removes from
registration, although cancelled, all shares of the Common Stock registered
under the Registration Statement that remain unsold or unissued as of the date
of this Post-Effective Amendment.

filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to
the Registration Statement to be signed on behalf of the registrant by the
