EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to Form S-3 on Form S-1 Registration Statement relates to the Registration Statement (File No. 333-173542) (the “Original Registration Statement”) of Overland Storage, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 23, 2011, which registered shares of the Company’s common stock for resale, from time to time, on behalf of certain selling shareholders. On September 6, 2013 and September 18, 2013, the Registrant filed post-effective amendments to the Original Registration Statement converting the Original Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the Commission on September 19, 2013. On February 12, 2014, February 28, 2014 and March 13, 2014, the Registrant filed post-effective amendments to the Original Registration Statement converting the Original Registration Statement back into a registration statement on Form S-3. On March 31, 2014, the Registrant filed a post-effective amendment to the Original Registration Statement converting the Original Registration Statement back into a registration statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the Commission on March 31, 2014.

On December 1, 2014, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, S3D Acquisition Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), a California corporation, and Sphere 3D Corporation (“Parent”), an Ontario corporation, dated as of May 15, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company merged with Merger Subsidiary, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.46385 shares of Parent’s common stock.

As a result of the Merger, offerings pursuant to the Original Registration Statement have terminated. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to Form S-3 on Form S-1 Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of the Original Registration Statement and remove from registration any and all securities of the Company previously registered but unsold under the Original Registration Statement as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Shares”), in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in Part II of the Original Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Shares are hereby deregistered.
