DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Atrion Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-56511), filed by the Registrant on June 10, 1998 (the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to which the Registrant registered 270,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) for issuance under the Registrant’s 1998 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”).
In 1999, the Board of Directors of the Registrant amended the 1998 Plan to provide that no additional options would be granted thereunder after February 1, 1999, and all options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the 1998 Plan either have been exercised or have expired. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement to deregister all the shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement that remain unissued as of the date of this filing.
