EXPLANATORY NOTE
     Steelcase Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-84251, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 1999 (the “Original Form S-8”) and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-8 (“Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Form S-8, the “Form S-8”) on March 29, 2004. The Form S-8 covered 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to be offered and sold through the Steelcase Inc. Retirement Plan (formerly known as the Steelcase Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan) (the “Plan”) and an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the Plan, as well as any additional shares of Class A Common Stock which become available for grant under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Effective as of February 28, 2006, the Company discontinued the Steelcase Inc. stock fund investment option under the Plan. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to deregister all shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock previously registered on the Form S-8 that were unsold as of February 28, 2006.
