DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK

This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is filed by GCP Applied Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) to the following registration statements on Form S-8 (each as amended, the “Registration Statements”) of the Registrant, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), to deregister all shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), previously registered under the Registration Statements:

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-249244) filed with the Commission on October 1, 2020 for the registration of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant that have been or may be issued and sold upon the exercise of options or pursuant to awards that have been or may be issued under the GCP Applied Technologies Inc. 2020 Inducement Plan.

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-217892) filed with the Commission on May 11, 2017 for the registration of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant that have been or may be issued and sold upon the exercise of options or pursuant to awards that have been or may be issued under the Amended and Restated GCP Applied Technologies Inc. Equity and Incentive Plan.

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-209158) filed with the Commission on January 28, 2016 for the registration of 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant that have been or may be issued and sold upon the exercise of options or pursuant to awards that have been or may be issued under the GCP Applied Technologies Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan.

On December 5, 2021, the Registrant, Cyclades Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Cyclades Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes of Section 8.13 of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (the “Guarantor”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provided for the acquisition of the Registrant by Parent.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on September 27, 2022, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, any offering pursuant to the Registration Statements has been terminated and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements by filing this Post-Effective Amendment. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under each Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration the securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any.
