DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
On June 15, 2007, Lafarge S.A. (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Statement 333-143798) (the “Form S-8”) registering 22,335 Ordinary Shares to be issued to participants under the Lafarge 2007 Performance Share Plan (the “Plan”).
On August 2, 2007, the Registrant announced its intention to delist its American Depositary Shares from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and that this delisting would be followed by an application to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
As a result, the Registrant decided to terminate the registration of the Ordinary Shares under the Plan, effective as of the date hereof, thereby ceasing to offer and sell Ordinary Shares under the Plan pursuant to the Form S-8.
As of the date hereof, all of the Ordinary Shares registered in connection with the Plan remain unsold and pursuant to the Registrant’s undertaking in Item 9 of Part II of this Registration Statement, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 333-143798 is being filed in order to deregister all Ordinary Shares registered under the Form S-8 remaining unsold under the Plan.
