DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 ("Post-Effective
Amendment"), filed by Financial Federal Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), pertains to shares of Company common
stock, par value $0.50 per share ("Common Stock"), registered
under the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number
333-50962) filed by the Company on November 30, 2000 (the
"Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, relating to the Company's Amended and Restated 1998
Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan (formerly called the 1998
Stock Option Plan).
On November 22, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with People's United
Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("People's United"),
providing for, among other things, the acquisition of the Company
by People's United (the "Merger"). The Merger became effective
on February 19, 2010 (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to a
Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware and Articles of Merger filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of the
Company's Common Stock, other than shares owned by People's
United or the Company, was cancelled and converted into the right
to receive a combination of (i) one share of common stock of
People's United and (ii) $11.27 in cash, without interest.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all
offerings of its Common Stock pursuant to its existing
registration statements, including the Registration Statement.
The Company hereby removes from registration all shares of Common
Stock registered under the Registration Statement that remain
unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
