Although the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) has been terminated with respect to the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated Stock Bonus Plan, the duty of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company”) to file reports under Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act remains with respect to the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share.

Effective December 31, 2018, the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated Stock Bonus Plan was merged with and into the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(K) Plan and Trust Agreement. As a result, Interests in the Leggett & Platt Incorporated Stock Bonus Plan, which previously constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist. As such, on January 15, 2019 Post-Effective Amendments No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statements (333-157535 and 333-202727) were filed to terminate the offerings and de-register all of the unsold shares of common stock of the Company and Plan Interests under the Registration Statements. Accordingly, this Form 15 is filed to reflect the suspension of the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated Stock Bonus Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including Form 11-K.

 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(K) Plan and Trust Agreement, as successor to the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated Stock Bonus Plan, has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
