EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 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. 333-136391) filed by Invacare Corporation (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and effective on August 8, 2006 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Registrant held on May 17, 2018, the Registrant’s shareholders approved the Invacare Corporation 2018 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which provides, among other things, that Common Shares available for awards under the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”) upon shareholder approval of the 2018 Plan, and any Common Shares covered by an award under the 2013 Plan or the 2003 Plan that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the award, shall become available for issuance or transfer under the 2018 Plan. As of May 17, 2018, there were 1,225,176 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 2018 Plan, of which 1,210,878 Common Shares were registered under the Prior Registration Statement (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 2018 Plan (1) the Carried Forward Shares and (2) 1,800,000 additional Common 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 1,210,878 Carried Forward Shares under the Prior Registration Statement.
