 Deregistration of Securities
American Apparel, LLC (as successor by conversion to American Apparel, Inc.), a Delaware limited liability company (the "Registrant"), files this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 No. 333-192863 (the “Registration Statement”), registering shares of the Registrant's common stock, preferred stock and warrants, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2013 and became effective on December 20, 2013.
Such Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister any and all securities of the Registrant registered for issuance under the Registration Statement that remain unsold thereunder.
On October 5, 2015, the Registrant and certain of its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware (the "Court"). On January 27, 2016, the Court entered an order confirming the Registrant's First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors and Debtors in Possession (the "Plan"), under which, on February 5, 2016, the Effective Date of the Plan, all shares of common stock and other equity interests in the Registrant were cancelled and terminated, and the Registrant was converted into a Delaware limited liability company with membership interests issued in accordance with the Plan. Accordingly, all offerings of the Registrant’s securities, including those pursuant to the Registration Statement, have also been terminated.
In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of each offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
As no securities are being registered herein, the sole purpose of this filing being to terminate and deregister, the disclosure requirements under Regulation S-K Item 601 are inapplicable to this filing.
