DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8, Registration Number
33-83728 (the "Registration Statement"), filed on September 6, 1994, to which
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, UTILX Corporation (the
"Registrant") registered an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock
(including an indeterminate number of additional shares that may be necessary to
adjust the number of shares authorized under the option plan as the result of
any stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the outstanding Common
Stock) authorized for issuance under the 1994 Option and Restricted Stock Plan
(the "Plan").
On September 15, 2000, the Registrant merged into a subsidiary of
InfrastruX Group, Inc., a Washington corporation ("InfrastruX Group"), pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among InfrastruX Group, Inc.,
InfrastruX Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of InfrastruX Group, and the Registrant, dated as of June 28, 2000
(the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding
option that was issued under the Plan was canceled immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the merger, and each optionholder became entitled to the right
to receive a cash payment for each canceled option as set forth in the Merger
Agreement, subject to withholding of applicable taxes. In addition, pursuant to
the Merger Agreement, the Registrant may not make additional grants under the
Plan and has terminated any offering of securities pursuant to the Plan.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 deregisters all shares previously
authorized for issuance under the Plan and registered on the Registration
Statement.
