On May 13, 2002, CARBO Ceramics Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Statement No. 333-88100) (the “Form S-8”) registering a total of 250,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Shares”), together with Preferred Share Purchase Rights that initially traded together with the Common Shares, to be issued under the Registrant’s 1996 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, as amended (the “Plan”).
The Plan permitted the Registrant to grant options to purchase Common Shares to the Registrant’s key employees, officers and directors. As of the end of 2012, all options granted under the Plan had either expired or been exercised, and no awards remained outstanding. The Registrant now grants equity awards in respect of the Common Shares under its Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was first approved by the Registrant’s shareholders in May 2009.
As a result, the Registrant has ceased to offer Common Shares under the Plan pursuant to the Form S-8. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 No. 333-88100 is being filed in order to deregister all Common Shares registered under the Form S-8 remaining unoffered under the Plan.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8, and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on February 22, 2013.
