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. 333-217735), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2017 (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 Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). An aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance under the 2005 Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement.
On October 24, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which replaces the 2005 Plan. Following the approval of the 2018 Plan, no future awards could be made under the 2005 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan includes the shares underlying any grants previously made under the 2005 Plan that are forfeited, canceled, or terminated (other than by exercise) from and after the effective date of the 2018 Plan. The total number of shares available for grant under the 2005 Plan as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan was 710,687 shares and such number of shares is being deregistered hereby.
Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, the Company is filing a registration statement on Form S-8 to register 710,687 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2018 Plan pursuant to the rollover of available shares from the 2005 Plan to the 2018 Plan.
