DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-82489) (the “Registration Statement”) of BankAtlantic Bancorp (the “Company”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective on July 8, 1999. The Registration Statement registered an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to the BankAtlantic Security Plus Plan (the “Plan”) and an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered and sold pursuant to the Plan (the “Plan Participation Interests”). On January 2, 2008, the Company ceased offering its securities as an investment option under the Plan. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister all of the shares of Class A Common Stock and all of the Plan Participation Interests that remain available for issuance under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such shares of Class A Common Stock and Plan Participation Interests.
