DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-122116) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by EZCORP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Registrant”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2005, which registered 1,400,000 shares of Registrant’s Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), under the EZCORP, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan is being filed to deregister any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and not otherwise sold thereunder.
On October 2, 2013, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), between Registrant and EZMergeco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed direct wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant (“MergeCo”), in an internal reorganization transaction structured as a merger, Registrant merged with and into MergeCo, with MergeCo continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Reorganization”). At the effective time of the Reorganization, MergeCo changed its name to “EZCORP, Inc.” (referred to herein as “EZCORP”) and succeeded to all of the assets and liabilities of Registrant. EZCORP has conducted and will continue to conduct the same business and operations as Registrant immediately prior to the Reorganization.
As a result of the Reorganization, Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Accordingly, Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by Registrant in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, removes from registration any and all Class A Common Stock registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
