REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION
Caterpillar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), and Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-186742) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2013. The Registration Statement covered 500,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Registrant to be issued under the Plan, and an indeterminate amount of plan interests.
Effective April 1, 2016, the Plan merged with and into the Caterpillar Global Mining Legacy Hourly Employees’ Savings Plan. Accordingly, no further offers or sales of Company Common Stock are being made through the Plan. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to remove from registration the Common Stock and plan interests not heretofore sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and plan interests.
