Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 3, 2016, by and among the Registrant, Samsonite International S.A., a public limited liability company ( société anonyme ) incorporated and governed by the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies ( Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg ) under number B 159469 ("Parent"), and PTL Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant (the "Merger"), with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger became effective on August 1, 2016. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the Registrant (excluding shares owned by the Registrant, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries (which were canceled) and any shares with respect to which appraisal rights were properly exercised) were canceled and converted into the right to receive $26.75 in cash, without interest.

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated the offering of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remained unsold at the termination of the offering.

The Registrant also requests, in accordance with Rule 457(p) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that all fees paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use to the Registrant’s account.
