EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registrant’s Registration Statement No. 333-32521 is being filed to convert such registration statement from Form S-3 to Form S-1, and simultaneously to remove from registration by means of such post-effective amendment the securities registered which remain unsold as a result of the termination of this offering.
Registration Statement No. 333-32521 relates to $400,000,000 of securities registered on Form S-3 for issuance for cash from time to time as Debt Securities. Registration Statement No. 333-32521 originally was filed on Form S-3 on July 31, 1997.
The registrant is currently ineligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 due to the untimely filing of its Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Accordingly this post-effective amendment is being filed on Form S-1.
The registrant has terminated the offering of securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement No. 333-32521. Accordingly, the registrant hereby removes from registration by means of this post-effective amendment the securities registered which remain unsold as a result of the termination of this offering.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 478 thereunder, the registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, on September 5, 2007.
