Luxembourg) under number B 251465 (the “Company” or “AMPSA”), previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2022 a post-effective amendment to Form F-1 on Form F-3 (File No. 333-258749), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company is filing with the SEC this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement to deregister any and all remaining unsold securities under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement registered 16,749,984 ordinary shares of the Company, with a nominal value of €0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) that may be issued upon exercise of warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, each exercisable for one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments (the “Warrants”), and the offer and sale from time to time by the selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement, or their permitted transferees, of up to 496,275,894 Ordinary Shares and 5,626,305 Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares.
On July 31, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-289154), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2025 (the “New Registration Statement”), with respect to those securities previously registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold and for which the Company remains contractually obligated to maintain the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement.
The Company, by filing this post-effective amendment, hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
