DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
These post-effective amendments (the “Post-Effective Amendments”) remove from registration all securities registered under the following Registration Statements on Form S-3 and Form S-3D (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by Merchants Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):
File No. 333-151572, which was filed with the SEC on June 11, 2008, registering common stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan that provides for adjustments in the amount of securities being issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions;
File No. 333-126153, which was filed with the SEC on November 11, 1997, registering common stock sold to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Merchants Trust Company in a private transaction and at the market price of $14.125 per share (the average of the closing bid ($13.25) and asked ($15.00) prices on December 20, 1995) in connection with the amendment and termination of certain obligations of the Company to certain of its former officers and directors under two benefit and compensation plans of the Company; and
File No. 333-20375, which was filed with the SEC on January 24, 1997, registering common stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan that provides for adjustments in the amount of securities being issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
On May 12, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2016, by and between Community Bank System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Community Bank System”), and the Company, the Company merged with and into Community Bank System as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of the Company ceased.
As a result of the Merger, any and all offerings of securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statements have been terminated. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of post-effective amendments any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, Community Bank System, as successor to the Company, hereby removes from registration the securities registered, but not sold as of the date hereof, under the Registration Statements.
