This post-effective amendment (this “Amendment”) deregisters 344,035 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the company formerly known as Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (the “Company”) prior to the effectiveness of the “Transactions” contemplated by that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2007, among the Company, Metavante Corporation (“Metavante”), Metavante Holding Company (“New Metavante”), Montana Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and WPM, L.P. (the “Investment Agreement”).  The Shares were registered by the Company for issuance under the NYCE Corporation Employees’ Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the “Plan”) on the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2004 (File No. 333-121604).

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante (the “Holding Company Merger”).  On November 1, 2007, in connection with the Holding Company Merger, every three issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was converted into one share of New Metavante common stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement.  Following the Holding Company Merger, the Company converted from a Wisconsin corporation to a Wisconsin limited liability company.  The Company, as a limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, distributed the outstanding shares of Metavante capital stock to New Metavante, causing Metavante to be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante.  Subsequently, New Metavante contributed the membership interests of the Company to New M&I Corporation (“New Marshall & Ilsley”), which at the time was a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, and distributed three shares of New Marshall & Ilsley common stock to each holder of New Metavante common stock.  New Marshall & Ilsley, which is filing this Amendment, was subsequently renamed Marshall & Ilsley Corporation.  As a result, the Company has terminated all offerings of its Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement.  In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in its Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes the Shares from registration.  This Amendment also deregisters all unsold participants’ interests in the Plan that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
