DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8, which was originally filed on December 10, 2013 (File No. 333-192746) (the “ Registration Statement ”) of Exa Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), is being filed to deregister all shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company that had been registered and remain unsold under such Registration Statement.

 

On September 27, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp., a Rhode Island corporation (“ Parent ”), 3DS Acquisition 3 Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Purchaser ”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “ Merger ”). The Merger became effective on November 17, 2017, pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statement by removing from registration all shares of common stock of the Company registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
