EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-220601) (the “Registration Statement”) filed on September 19, 2024, is filed to deregister certain securities remaining available for issuance under such Registration Statement as described below. On September 25, 2017, ePlus inc. (the “Registrant”) filed the Registration Statement to register an aggregate of 300,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), which were issuable under the Registrant’s 2017 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). Share numbers have been revised to reflect the two-for-one stock split of the Registrant’s Common Stock that was effected on December 13, 2021.

 

On September 12, 2024, at the Registrant's annual meeting of stockholders, the Registrant's stockholders approved the 2024 Non-Employee Director Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”).  The 2024 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.  In connection with the approval of the 2024 Plan, the Board of Directors of the Registrant has determined that no future awards will be granted under the 2017 Plan.  As of September 19, 2024, there are 186,714 shares of Common Stock that have not been issued under the 2017 Plan (collectively, the “Remaining Shares”).

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to deregister the Remaining Shares.
