DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 33-39280) (the “Registration Statement”) of Caterpillar Inc. (the “Company”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 1991. The Registration Statement registered 40,000,000 shares (5,000,000 shares originally registered as adjusted to reflect 2-for-1 stock splits in 1994, 1997 and 2005) of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and an indeterminate amount of participation interests for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Employees’ Investment Plan (the “Plan”).
Effective as of September 30, 2005, the Plan was terminated. The Plan permitted participants to invest in a fund that held shares of common stock of the Company. As of November 30, 2005, all assets held by the Plan were either distributed to participants or transferred to other employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister the shares of common stock and participation interests of the Company that were not issued upon termination of the Plan.
