DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 relates to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-204368) of Veracyte Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2015 and was declared effective on June 5, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed with respect to the offer and resale by the selling stockholders named in the prospectus from time to time of 4,907,975 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Registrant. The Registrant is no longer obligated to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the Registrant’s agreement with the selling stockholders named in the prospectus.

 

Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and to deregister all shares of common stock registered thereunder that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
