On June 19, 2017, A.M. Castle & Co. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 2, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ prepackaged joint plan of reorganization, dated as of July 25, 2017 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Bankruptcy Plan”), and on August 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Bankruptcy Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy. All previously issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company, including all shares of the Company’s prior common stock held by the A.M. Castle & Co. 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), were automatically cancelled and extinguished as of the Effective Date. Therefore, interests in the 401(k) Plan no longer require registration. Accordingly, this Form 15 is being filed to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including on Form 11-K.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the A.M. Castle & Co. 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
