Although the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) has been terminated with respect to the AVX Corporation Retirement Plan, the duty of AVX Corporation (the “Company”) to file reports under Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act remains with respect to the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share.

Effective July 1, 2019, the AVX Corporation Retirement Plan was merged with and into the AVX Greenville LLC 401(k) Plan. As a result, Plan Interests in the AVX Corporation Retirement Plan, which previously constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist. As such, on December 10, 2019, Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (333-177816) was filed to terminate the offerings and de-register all of the unsold shares of common stock of the Company and Plan Interests under the Registration Statements. Accordingly, this Form 15 is filed to reflect the suspension of the AVX Greenville LLC 401(k) Plan’s duty, as successor to the AVX Corporation Retirement Plan, to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including Form 11-K.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, AVX Greenville LLC 401(k) Plan, as successor to the AVX Corporation Retirement Plan, has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
