EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

AAR CORP. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 20, 2017, File No. 333-219376 (the “2017 Form S-8”), with respect to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), thereby registered for offer or sale pursuant to the Registrant’s Supplemental Key Employee Retirement Plan (the “SKERP”). A total of 300,000 shares of Common Stock were initially registered for issuance under the 2017 Form S-8.

 

No shares of Common Stock have been offered or sold under the SKERP, and the Registrant no longer intends to provide shares of Common Stock as an investment option under the SKERP. Accordingly, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister, as of the date hereof, all 300,000 shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, which remain unsold or otherwise unissued as of the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement.
