DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

AutoNation, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-90819 and 333-175830) (the “Registration Statements”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 1999 and July 27, 2011, respectively. The Registration Statements covered an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the AutoNation 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) and an indeterminate amount of plan interests.

As of December 1, 2014, the Plan terminated the option to invest in shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan. Any investment of Plan accounts in the Company’s common stock is frozen such that participants in the Plan may only liquidate the Company’s common stock. In accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to remove from registration the Company’s common stock and plan interests not issued pursuant to the Registration Statements. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such common stock and plan interests.
