INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
AMENDMENT TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
The Registrant’s Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 12, 2002 (Registration No. 333-92356) (the “Registration Statement”) is hereby amended to provide that the Registrant suspended its Penford Corporation 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) with respect to issuances of new stock option grants thereunder, effective January 24, 2006, and adopted a new plan, the Penford Corporation 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which the shareholders approved effective as of January 24, 2006. Up to 122,976 shares available for issuance, but not issued or subject to outstanding options, under the 1994 Plan (the “Unissued Option Shares”) are no longer issuable under the 1994 Plan and may now be issued under the 2006 Plan. A registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Unissued Option Shares as part of the 2006 Plan (the “New Registration Statement”), is being filed with the Commission concurrently with this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
The Registration Statement shall remain in effect for purposes of outstanding stock options granted under the 1994 Plan; however, the registration fee associated with an aggregate of 122,976 of the Unissued Option Shares will be carried forward from the Registration Statement to the New Registration Statement.
The contents of the Registration Statement are otherwise incorporated by reference into this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to such Registration Statement, except as described herein. Required consents and signatures are included in this amendment.
