On or about September 26, 1992, BMC West Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("BMC West"), filed a registration statement on Form S-8
(Registration No. 33-52478) (the "Registration Statement") with respect to its
Stock Option Plan (Field Management Plan), Stock Option Plan (Senior Original
Shareholders Management Plan) and 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
(together, the "Plans").
This post-effective amendment is being filed by Building Materials
Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), pursuant to Rule
414 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), as the successor issuer to BMC West, following a reorganization of BMC
West into a holding company organizational structure.
The holding company organizational structure was implemented, in
accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, by the
merger (the "Merger") of BMC West Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
with and into BMC West, which was the surviving corporation. In the Merger,
which was consummated on September 23, 1997, each share of capital stock of BMC
West issued and outstanding or held in its treasury was converted into one share
of capital stock of the Registrant, and BMC West became a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant. Also as part of the Merger, each outstanding
option to purchase shares of BMC West's common stock under the Plans was
automatically converted into an option to purchase, upon the same terms and
conditions, an identical number of shares of the Registrant's common stock.
In accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act, the Registrant,
as the successor issuer to BMC West, hereby expressly adopts the Registration
Statement and the Plans 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.
