DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) of Akumin Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), previously filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and is being filed to deregister any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof:

 

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-261695) filed with the Commission on December  16, 2021, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 filed with the Commission on August 9, 2022 and as further amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 filed with the Commission on November 10, 2022, pertaining to the registration of 11,479,012 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant (the “Common Stock”) under the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan and the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit Plan.

On October 20, 2023, the Registrant entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (including all exhibits thereto, collectively, the “RSA”) with certain of its debtor affiliates as set forth in the RSA (together with the Registrant, the “Debtors”) and the other parties thereto (collectively, the “Consenting Stakeholders”). Under the terms of the RSA, the Debtors and certain Consenting Stakeholders agreed to the terms of a restructuring of the Registrant pursuant to the terms set forth in the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepackaged Plan”). In connection therewith, on October 22, 2023, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”), thereby commencing chapter 11 cases for the Debtors (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption In re Akumin Inc., et al., Case No. 23-90827 (CML). On November 30, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Prepackaged Plan. On February 6, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Prepackaged Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Registrant emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. As part of the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, all shares of Common Stock, together with any shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, or any other right to receive equity in the Registrant, in each case, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, were cancelled, discharged and of no force and effect.

The Registrant hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

As no securities are being registered herein, and the sole purpose of this filing is to terminate and deregister any and all securities that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement, the disclosure requirements for exhibits under Regulation S-K Item 601 are inapplicable to this filing.
