EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 15, 2012 (Registration Statement No. 333-183317 and referred to herein as the “Prior Registration Statement”) with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), thereby registered for offer or sale pursuant to the Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The Prior Registration Statement registered 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company has since adopted a new equity incentive plan, the Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on July 17, 2014, and no future awards will be made under the 2002 Plan. At the time of the adoption of the 2014 Plan, there were 471,352 shares that remained available for grants under the 2002 Plan.

 

On September 12, 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “New Registration Statement”) to register the shares of Common Stock now available for offer or sale pursuant to the 2014 Plan, including 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2002 Plan and that expire or terminate for any reason, including expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or that are withheld, surrendered or tendered in payment of the exercise price of an award, or tendered or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations (Registration No. 333-198716).

 

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister from the Prior Registration Statement the 2,000,000 shares from the 2002 Plan that are registered under the New Registration Statement, plus the 471,352 shares that are no longer available for grants under the 2002 Plan, for a total of 2,471,352 shares being deregistered.
