DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

On June 26, 2001, WD-40 Company (“WD-40”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, SEC Registration Number 333- 63890 (the “Registration Statement”), which was subsequently amended on August 13, 2002, covering 264,875 shares of WD-40’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) on behalf of certain “Selling Shareholders” of WD-40.

 

The Registration Statement was filed in order to register shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Shareholders in connection with the acquisition of HPD Holdings Corp. by WD-40 on April 30, 2001.

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement between WD-40 and HPD Holdings Corp., WD-40’s obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the Selling Shareholders were able to sell their Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144(k) has been satisfied. Accordingly, WD-40 hereby deregisters 88,906 shares of the Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement which remain unsold thereunder.
