DE-REGISTRATION OF SHARES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-63532) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Florida Public Utilities Company (the “Company”) on June 21, 2001. The Registration Statement registered the offering of up to 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 removes from registration all remaining securities registered under the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 17, 2009, by and among the Company, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (“Chesapeake”) and CPK Pelican, Inc., CPK Pelican, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake, merged with and into the Company, with CPK Pelican, Inc. ceasing to exist and the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 28, 2009 (the “Effective Time”).
At the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive 0.405 shares of Chesapeake common stock.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of its securities being registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and deregisters any and all shares of the Company’s common stock originally reserved for issuance under the plan covered by the Registration Statement and registered under the Registration Statement, which remain unsold or unissued as of the date hereof.
