EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (“Post-Effective Amendment”) is filed in order to deregister certain common shares, without par value (“Common Shares”), issuable under the Invacare Corporation 2003 Performance Plan, as amended (the “2003 Plan”), which Common Shares were registered under a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-161109) filed by Invacare Corporation (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and effective on August 6, 2009 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Registrant held on May 16, 2013, the Registrant’s shareholders approved the Invacare Corporation 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which provides, among other things, that any Common Shares that were available for issuance under the 2003 Plan upon expiration of the 2003 Plan, and any Common Shares covered by an award under the 2003 Plan that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the award, shall become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
On May 23, 2013, the Registrant filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Registration Statement for the purpose of deregistering 660,337 Common Shares that were available for awards under the 2003 Plan upon expiration of the 2003 Plan, and that were carried forward for issuance under the 2013 Plan. Since the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and as of December 1, 2016, there were 2,325,365 Common Shares that were forfeited or remained unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of awards under the 2003 Plan that are now available for issuance under the 2013 Plan (such shares, the “Carried Forward Shares”).
The Registrant is concurrently filing a separate Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register for issuance under the 2013 Plan the Carried Forward Shares. This Post-Effective Amendment is hereby filed to reflect that, following the date hereof, the Carried Forward Shares may not be issued under the 2003 Plan and to deregister the Carried Forward Shares under the Prior Registration Statement.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Elyria, State of Ohio, on this 21st day of December, 2016.
