DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) of Tim Hortons Inc. (the “Registrant”):

 

    Registration Statement No. 333-133663 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 pertaining to the registration of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, issuable under the Tim Hortons Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.

On December 12, 2014, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Arrangement Agreement”), dated as of August 26, 2014, by and among the Registrant, Burger King Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Burger King Worldwide”), Restaurant Brands International Inc., a corporation continued under the laws of Canada (f/k/a 9060669 Canada Inc. and 1011773 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company) (“Holdings”), Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership, a limited partnership organized under the laws of Ontario and a subsidiary of Holdings (f/k/a New Red Canada Limited Partnership and New Red Canada Partnership) (“Partnership”), Blue Merger Sub, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware and a wholly owned subsidiary of Partnership (“Merger Sub”), and 8997900 Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of Partnership (“Amalgamation Sub”), Amalgamation Sub acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Registrant pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Canadian law (the “Plan of Arrangement”), which resulted in the Registrant becoming an indirect subsidiary of both Holdings and Partnership (the “Arrangement”) and Merger Sub merged with and into Burger King Worldwide, with Burger King Worldwide surviving the merger as an indirect subsidiary of both Holdings and Partnership (the “Merger” and, together with the Arrangement, the “Transactions”). As a final step in the Plan of Arrangement, the Registrant and Amalgamation Sub amalgamated effective as of 11:59 p.m. (Toronto Time) on December 12, 2014, with the Registrant surviving the amalgamation.

As a result of the Arrangement, the Registrant has terminated any offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any securities of the Registrant registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
