Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), is filing these Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) previously filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Registrant Common Stock”), registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof (note that the share numbers listed below do not take into account corporate actions, such as stock splits, taken in the interim):

On August 4, 2022, the Registrant entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger with Rand Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) affiliated with certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., J.F. Lehman & Company, LLC and Hill City Capital LP, and Rand Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“MergerCo”), which provides for the merger of MergerCo with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on March 17, 2023, pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

In connection with the Merger, the Registrant has terminated any and all of the offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statements and removes from registration any and all of the securities of the Registrant registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of these Post-Effective Amendments, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of each of the Registration Statements.
