Deregistration of Securities
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-147850) of Akorn, Inc. (the “Company”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 2007 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Securities”) to permit resales of such Securities by selling security holders named in the Registration Statement, who acquired the Securities pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2007.
The Company seeks to deregister all Securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof because it no longer has an obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the Company’s undertaking in Part II, Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to remove from registration any and all Securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
