DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statements on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-166881 and 333-181776) (the “Registration Statements”) filed by LIN TV Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, removes from registration 250,252 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) issuable under the LIN TV Corp. Amended and Restated 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).
On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with LIN Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“LIN LLC”), providing for the merger of the Company with and into LIN LLC (the “Merger”), with LIN LLC continuing as the surviving entity. The Merger became effective at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 30, 2013 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
In connection with the Merger, the Company terminated the Plan and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements issuable under the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the Plan, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statements issuable under the Plan that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
