EXPLANATORY NOTE
Mercury Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this post-effective amendment to deregister certain of the securities originally registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-101993), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2002 (the “Registration Statement”) with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), thereby registered for issuance under the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “1997 Plan”). An aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance under the 1997 Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement.
On November 14, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2005 Plan”), which replaced the 1997 Plan as of the date of approval. Following the approval of the 2005 Plan, no future awards may be made under the 1997 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2005 Plan includes the shares underlying any grants previously made under the 1997 Plan that are forfeited, canceled, or terminated (other than by exercise) from and after the effective date of the 2005 Plan. The total number of shares available for grant under the 1997 Plan as of the effective date of the 2005 Plan was 1,942,264 shares. Additional shares (the “Additional Carried Forward Shares”) have been included in the shares reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan as a result of the forfeiture, cancellation, or termination (other than by exercise) of previously-made grants under the 1997 Plan. The Additional Carried Forward Shares included 2,392,245 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed on November 30, 2006, 229,978 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement filed on February 4, 2008, 442,047 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement filed on December 19, 2008, 597,775 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement filed on December 14, 2009, 77,680 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement filed on March 11, 2011, 29,060 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 6 to the Registration Statement filed on November 4, 2011, and 171,811 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which were deregistered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to the Registration Statement filed on November 5, 2012. The Additional Carried Forward Shares also include an additional 254,032 shares registered under the Registration Statement, which are hereby deregistered.
Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 8 to the Registration Statement, the Company is filing a registration statement on Form S-8 to register an additional 254,032 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Plan.
