EXPLANATORY NOTE
On November 12, 2004, InterOil Corporation, a Canadian corporation (the “Registrant”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-10, as amended, Registration No. 333-120383, (the “Registration Statement”), registering up to 4,140,585 common shares issuable upon conversion of the Registrant’s 8 7/8% senior convertible debentures due August 28, 2004, or as interest thereon, and 359,415 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. 1,728,442 common shares that would have been issuable pursuant to the convertible debentures were deregistered on April 12, 2005 by Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 is being filed to remove from registration the common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants that remain unsold as of the date hereof. Because these unsold securities became freely tradable upon expiration of the required holding periods under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, registration of the unsold securities is no longer necessary. Therefore, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement is being filed to deregister, as of the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3, all of the shares remaining unsold under the Registration Statement.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form F-10 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Cairns, State of Queensland, Australia, on the 29th day of December, 2010.
