DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

This post-effective amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”), filed by CEC Entertainment, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the “Company”), deregisters the shares of common stock of the Company, $0.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and any attached rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated January 15, 2014, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights,” and along with the Common Stock, collectively, the “Shares”), issuable under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Restricted Stock Plan, which were registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-130142) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 5, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”), and that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment.

On February 14, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 15, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Queso Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Q Merger Sub Inc., a Kansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub agreed to make a tender offer for all of the outstanding Shares, at a price of $54.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. The Merger became effective upon filing the Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Kansas on February 14, 2014 (the “Effective Time”). Immediately prior to the time the Company accepted the Shares for payment in the tender offer, the Rights expired in accordance with their terms without any payment in respect thereof.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements on file with the Commission, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment.
