EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-204490) filed by Sundance Energy Australia Limited (the “Registrant”)  with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”), registering 25,000,000 ordinary shares of the Registrant issuable pursuant to the Sundance Employee Option Plan and Sundance Energy Australia Long Term Incentive Plan.

 

On November 26, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the redomiciliation of the Registrant was completed pursuant to which Sundance Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Registrant in exchange for newly issued shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement under Australian law (the “Scheme”), and became the ultimate parent company of the Sundance group of companies.  As of the Effective Date, the Company became the successor issuer to the Registrant pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

As a result of the Scheme, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that were registered but which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
