DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
On July 14, 1998, Ryerson Tull Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ryerson Tull”), filed a registration statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-59009 (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to 600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of Ryerson Tull to be offered for purchase pursuant to the exercise of transferable options issued pursuant to the Ryerson Tull 1996 Incentive Stock Plan. On February 25, 1999, Ryerson Tull was merged into its parent company, Inland Steel Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation now known as Ryerson Inc. (the “Company”). Pursuant to the terms of such merger, all options outstanding under the Ryerson Tull 1996 Incentive Stock Plan prior to the effective time of the merger were converted into options to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company.
On October 19, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 24, 2007, by and among Rhombus Holding Corporation (“Parent”), Rhombus Merger Corporation (“Sub”) and the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on the Effective Date, each outstanding share of Common Stock and Series A $2.40 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (other than treasury shares and shares held by shareholders who properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $34.50 in cash. As a result of such transactions, the Company is a privately-held, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in 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, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to deregister all the shares of the Company’s Common Stock registered and reserved for issuance under such Registration Statement which remained unissued as of the Effective Date.
