This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by Luminar Technologies, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), relates to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 previously filed by the Registrant (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

 

*The number of shares of Class A common stock originally registered have not been adjusted to reflect the one-for-fifteen (1-for-15) reverse stock split that became effective on November 20, 2024.

 

In connection with filing for voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 15, 2025, the Registrant is terminating all offerings of its securities pursuant to existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, including the Registration Statements.

 

Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statements and to deregister, as of the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all shares of Class A common stock of the Registrant registered thereunder that remain unsold as of the effectiveness date. As a result of this deregistration and upon the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment, no securities will remain registered pursuant to the Registration Statements.
