EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”), File No. 333-215642, of Mimecast Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey (the “Registrant”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 20, 2017 and declared effective by the SEC on March 14, 2017. The Registration Statement registered (a) the offer and sale from time to time of an indeterminate amount of securities of the Registrant, including ordinary shares, nominal value $0.012 per share of the Registrant (“Ordinary Shares”), representing an aggregate maximum offering price not to exceed $50,000,000 (the “Primary Offering Securities”) and (b) for resale by certain selling shareholders named therein of up to 20,539,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Secondary Offering Securities”). The Registrant confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The registration of all unsold Primary Offering Securities under the Registration Statement expired pursuant to Rule 415(a)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on March 14, 2020, which was the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement. Additionally, the Registrant no longer qualified as a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as of April 1, 2018 and as such was no longer eligible to offer securities on a Form F-3 registration statement as of such date. The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 in order to deregister all of the Secondary Offering Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof, and following such deregistration there shall be no registered Ordinary Shares under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.

In accordance with the Registrant’s undertaking in Part II, Item 10 of the Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 to deregister all of the Ordinary Shares remaining unsold under the Registration Statement and such Ordinary Shares are hereby deregistered.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in London, United Kingdom on April 14, 2020.

 

No other person is required to sign this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 478 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
