CYS Investments, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is filing this post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement on FormS-8 (No.333-189619) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2013, pertaining to the registration of 8,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) reserved for future issuance under the CYS Investments, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, to deregister all shares of Common Stock that had been registered for issuance under the Registration Statement that remain unsold thereunder.
On April 25, 2018, the Company, Two Harbors Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Two Harbors”), and Eiger Merger Subsidiary LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the surviving corporation became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company is terminating all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
