DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
Erie Indemnity Company (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold pursuant to the Registration Statements, in each case solely to the extent they relate to the Registrant’s (1997) Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1997 LTIP”) and the 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 LTIP”).
1.Registration No. 333-53318, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission”) on January 5, 2001, registering 32,449 shares of the Registrant’s Class A Common Stock, no par value (“Class A Common Stock”) issuable pursuant to the 1997 LTIP;
2.Registration No. 333-82062, filed with the Commission on February 4, 2002, registering an additional 95,735 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 1997 LTIP; and
3.Registration No. 333-148705, filed with the Commission on January 16, 2008, registering (i) an additional 39,361 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 1997 LTIP and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2004 LTIP.
The Registrant is no longer issuing securities under the 1997 LTIP or 2004 LTIP. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed in order to deregister all shares of Class A Common Stock that were registered under the Registration Statements and remain unissued under the Registration Statements, in each case, solely to the extent they relate to the 1997 LTIP and 2004 LTIP. For the avoidance of doubt, this Post-Effective Amendment will have no effect of the status of the 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Erie Indemnity Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors, as amended, which shares of Class A Common Stock were also registered pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-148705.
