EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Brady Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Registrant”), is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-44505) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 1998. The Registration Statement registered 200,000 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Registrant (“Common Stock”) and an indeterminate amount of plan interests to be offered and sold pursuant to the Brady Matched 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan no longer offers Common Stock as an investment option. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, pursuant to the undertakings contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any remaining shares of Common Stock and all plan interests that were registered for issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement and that remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and plan interests.
