EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-208849) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by ARRIS International plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company” or “ARRIS”), on January 4, 2016.  The Registration Statement registered 145,057 total shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, £0.01 nominal value per share, pursuant to the Pace Sharesave Plan.

 

On November 8, 2018, the Company entered into a bid conduct agreement with CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (“CommScope”), pursuant to which CommScope has agreed to acquire all of the issued and to be issued ordinary shares, £0.01 nominal value per share, of ARRIS for $31.75 per ordinary share pursuant to a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement (the “Acquisition”).

 

As a consequence of the Acquisition, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities under its existing registration statements on Form S-8, including the Registration Statement.  Accordingly, and in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 478 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, solely to deregister any and all securities previously registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold.
