This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is being filed solely to remove from registration securities that were registered and will not be issued in connection with the Registrant’s offering.
On May 12, 1998, Northeast Utilities (the “Registrant”) filed its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-52413) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to 3,000,000 of the Registrant’s common shares which were to be issued in connection with the Registrant’s Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
On May 8, 2007, the Plan was replaced by an Amended and Restated Incentive Plan and no further common shares will be issued under the Plan.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s undertaking in Part II, Item 9 in the Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to withdraw the Registration Statement, including all exhibits to the Registration Statement, with respect to all unsold shares of Registrant common shares registered under the Registration Statement.
