Deregistration of Securities

As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2009, Spansion Inc. (the “Registrant”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”). On April 16, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization filed by the Registrant (as amended, the “Plan”). On May 10, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors consummated their reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan became effective. Pursuant to the Plan, all of the Registrant’s then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Old Common Stock”), was cancelled.

Pursuant to the undertaking of the Registrant contained in its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-150025), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and effective as of April 1, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) is filed by the Registrant and amends the Registration Statement registering the offer and sale by the Registrant of an aggregate of 13,850,474 shares of Old Common Stock, to have been issued pursuant to awards granted under the Saifun Semiconductors Ltd. 1997 Share Option Plan, Saifun Semiconductors Ltd. 2001 Share Option Plan, and Saifun Semiconductors Ltd. 2003 Share Option Plan. As a result of the cancellation of the Old Common Stock, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister all shares of the Old Common Stock included in the Registration Statement.
