(formerly known as Energy Ventures, Inc.) that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 33-77960) (the "Registration Statement") for sale pursuant to a market-making prospectus by Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman"). The Registrants under the Registration Statement included EVI, Inc. (the "Company") and certain of the Company's subsidiaries acting as subsidiary guarantors of the Notes (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). In connection with the Company's tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Tender Offer") for the outstanding Notes, an aggregate of $119,980,000 principal amount of the outstanding Notes (representing 99.9% of the $120 million principal amount of Notes outstanding) validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and were accepted for payment by the Company on December 15, 1997 (the "Repurchase"). Prior to the Repurchase, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") incorporating amendments to which tendering holders of the Notes consented. These amendments eliminated or amended certain of the principal restrictive covenants contained in the Indenture and released all Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture. As a result of the Repurchase and the execution of the Supplemental Indenture, Lehman will no longer engage in market-making activities with respect to the Notes. Thus, the Company has determined that the Notes that were registered by Registration Statement can be removed from registration. Therefore, pursuant to the undertaking made by the Company required by Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement for the purpose of removing the Notes from registration under the Act. 4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on January 12, 1998.
