This post-effective amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 414
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to
reflect the adoption by Toys "R" Us, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), of a holding company form of organizational structure. The
holding company organizational structure was implemented by the merger (the
"Merger") of TRU Interim, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with and into the
Company, which was the surviving corporation, in accordance with Section
251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the Merger, which was
consummated at 5:00 p.m., local time, on January 1, 1996 (the "Effective
Time"), each share of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding or
held in its treasury was converted into one share of capital stock of Toys "R"
Us-Headquarters, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), the
Registrant became the holding company for the Company's operating subsidiaries
and the Company became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. At
the Effective Time, the name of the Registrant was changed to Toys "R" Us,
Inc. and the name of the Company was changed to Toys "R" Us-Delaware, Inc.
In accordance with Rule 414, the Registrant, as the successor
issuer, hereby expressly adopts this registration statement, as well as the
stock option plan to which it relates, of the Company as its own for all
purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
The registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing
of this registration statement.
