DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

          On November 19, 1996, Lear Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) registered, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-16413), (as amended by post-effective amendments no. 1, 2 and 3, the “Registration Statement”), 2,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Lear Corporation Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

          On November 9, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by its First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan of Reorganization”). In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the shares of Common Stock existing immediately prior to the Effective Date (including the shares registered on the Registration Statement) have been canceled and are no longer outstanding. As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement to deregister all the shares of the Company’s Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement and reserved for issuance under the Plan, which remain unsold as of the Effective Date.
