EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On September 27, 2002, Chelsea Property Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Chelsea”), and CPG Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CPG”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-100142 and
333-100142-01) (as subsequently amended prior to the date hereof, the “Registration Statement”), which registered an aggregate of $800,000,000 of shares of common stock, preferred stock and preferred stock represented by depository shares of Chelsea and $800,000,000 of unsecured nonconvertible debt securities of CPG. On October 14, 2004, Simon Property Group, Inc. (“Simon”) acquired Chelsea pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2004, by and among Simon, Simon Property Group, L.P., Simon Acquisition I, LLC (“Merger Sub”), Simon Acquisition II, LLC, Chelsea and CPG (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result, Merger Sub was merged with and into Chelsea, with Chelsea as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Simon (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, on October 14, 2004, Chelsea filed a certification and notice of termination of registration on Form 15 with respect to its common stock and cumulative redeemable preferred stock, and on October 19, 2004, Chelsea filed a notification on Form 25 of the removal from listing and registration of its common stock. On March 6, 2006, CPG filed a certification and notice of termination of registration on Form 15 with respect to its six outstanding series of notes that were issued in exchange offerings registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is to deregister and remove from registration such portion of the $1,600,000,000 of securities previously registered on the Registration Statement that have not been sold as of the date hereof. As a result of this deregistration, no securities remain registered for sale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
