DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 Registration No. 333-100189 (the “Registration Statement”), is being filed to deregister certain shares of common stock, par value $0.00067 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Sun Microsystems, Inc. (the “Company”) that were registered for issuance pursuant to the Sun Microsystems, Inc. Equity Compensation Acquisition Plan (the “ECAP”). The Company registered an aggregate of 54,360,000 shares (share number adjusted to reflect stock splits) of Common Stock for issuance under the ECAP pursuant to six registration statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 1996 (Registration No. 333-09867), August 28, 1997 (Registration No. 333-34543), November 12, 1998 (Registration No. 333-67183), October 17, 2000 (Registration No. 333-48080), February 28, 2001 (Registration No. 333-56358) and September 30, 2002 (Registration No. 333-100189). The Company has adopted a new equity-based plan, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which provides that the shares of Common Stock that are available for future awards under the ECAP may be transferred and reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan. A total of 31,909,932 shares of Common Stock were available for future awards under the ECAP as of November 8, 2007.
Accordingly, pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S–8, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to deregister 31,909,932 shares of Common Stock previously registered for issuance under the ECAP and to move those shares to a new Form S–8 Registration Statement (No. 333– ) filed by the Company for shares issuable under the 2007 Plan.
