POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM S-3

This post-effective amendment is being filed pursuant the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act") to reflect the anticipated adoption by Lamar
Advertising Company, a Delaware corporation ("Lamar"), of a holding company form
of organizational structure. Prior to effectiveness of this registration
statement, the holding company organizational structure will be effected
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") among
Lamar, Lamar New Holding Co., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lamar ("Holdco") and Lamar Holdings Merge Co., a Delaware
corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco ("Merger Sub"). The
Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger (the "Merger") of
Lamar with Merger Sub, with Lamar as the surviving corporation. Pursuant to
Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Lamar
stockholder approval of the Merger will not be required.

As a result of the Merger, Lamar will become a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Holdco. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Lamar's
issued and outstanding capital stock will be converted into, and exchanged for
one share of an identical class or series of capital stock of Holdco, and thus
each share of class A common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Lamar issued
and outstanding will be converted into and exchanged for one share of class A
common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Holdco. In addition, Lamar will
change its name to Lamar Media Corp. and the name of Holdco will become Lamar
Advertising Company.

Upon effectiveness of the Merger and effectiveness of this registration
statement and in accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act, Holdco, as
the successor issuer of the class A common stock, hereby expressly adopts this
registration statement as its own registration statement for all purposes of the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At such
time, Lamar will become a co-registrant to this registration statement.

The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original
filing of this registration statement.
