EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to deregister certain securities previously registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 11, 2002, Registration No. 333-84124 (the “2002 Form S-8”), with respect to shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) thereby registered for issuance, offer or sale pursuant to the MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan (“2001 Option Plan”). A total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance, offer or sale under the 2002 Form S-8.  No future awards will be granted under the 2001 Option Plan.

 

On January 3, 2006 the shareholders of the Company approved the MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. 2005 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which replaces the 2001 Option Plan and accordingly no future awards will be made under the 2001 Option Plan. The shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be available for grant (i.e., not subject to outstanding awards, or forfeitures, canceled, exchanged, surrendered or not distributed) under the 2001 Option Plan as of the date hereof, are now available for issuance, offer and sale under the 2005 Plan. The total number of such shares under the 2001 Option Plan was 1,774,485 (the “Carryover Shares”). The Carryover Shares are hereby deregistered.  The 2002 Form S-8 otherwise continues in effect as to the balance of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance, offer or sale pursuant thereto upon and following the exercise of options previously granted under the 2001 Option Plan.

 

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-8, the Company is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock now available for issuance, offer or sale pursuant to the 2005 Plan, including, but not limited to, the Carryover Shares.

 

In accordance with the principles set forth in Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 Registration Statement hereby carries over the registration fees paid for the Carryover Shares from the 2002 Form S-8 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the 2005 Plan that is filed contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 Registration Statement.
