EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-145778) filed by P.A.M. Transportation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) on August 29, 2007, is filed in order to deregister securities remaining under such registration statement.

 

On August 29, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-145778) to register an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  On March 13, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and on May 29, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that replaced and superseded the 2006 Plan.

 

As of the date the Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Adoption Date”), no additional awards have been or will be made under the 2006 Plan and, therefore, the shares of common stock that were available for grant under the 2006 Plan as of the Adoption Date but were not subject to outstanding awards as of such date (such shares, the “Remaining Shares”) will not be issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan but instead will be available for awards under the Plan.  In addition, the Plan provides, among other things, that if any awards (i) expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised or redeemed in full, (ii) are reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, (iii) are repurchased at cost by the Company prior to vesting or (iv) are redeemed by payment in cash rather than shares of common stock, the shares of common stock under such award will revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. As of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, there are an aggregate of 120,089 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Plan that are outstanding (such shares, the “Outstanding Award Shares”) and an aggregate of 362,976 Remaining Shares (all such shares are collectively referred to as the “Carried Forward Shares”).

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to deregister the Carried Forward Shares.  The Company is concurrently filing a separate registration statement on Form S-8 to reflect that the Outstanding Award Shares may be issued under either the 2006 Plan or the Plan, that the Remaining Shares may be issued under the Plan and to carry over the filing fees for the Carried Forward Shares.

 

In accordance with the principles set forth in Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is hereby filed (i) to reflect that, following the date hereof, the Outstanding Award Shares may be issued under either the 2006 Plan or the Plan and the Remaining Shares may be issued under the Plan, and (ii) to carry over the registration fees paid for all the Carried Forward Shares from the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-145778), filed for the 2006 Plan, to the registration statement on Form S-8 filed for the 2006 Plan and the Plan, which is being filed contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
