On June 26, 2002, CARBO Ceramics Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Statement No. 333-91252) (the “Form S-8”) registering a total of 192,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Shares”), together with Preferred Share Purchase Rights that initially traded together with the Common Shares, to be issued under the 1996 Stock Option Plan of Pinnacle Technologies, Inc., as amended and restated (the “Plan”).  The Plan was assumed by the Registrant in connection with the merger of Pinnacle Technologies, Inc. (“Pinnacle”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant on May 31, 2002 pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 21, 2002 by and among the Registrant, Pinnacle and Ptechnologies Acquisition Corporation.
 
The Plan permitted the Registrant to grant options to purchase Common Shares to the Registrant’s key employees, officers and directors.  As of the end of 2012, all options granted under the Plan had either expired or been exercised, and no awards remained outstanding.  The Registrant now grants equity awards in respect of the Common Shares under its Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was first approved by the Registrant’s shareholders in May 2009.
 
As a result, the Registrant has ceased to offer Common Shares under the Plan pursuant to the Form S-8.  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 No. 333-91252 is being filed in order to deregister all Common Shares registered under the Form S-8 remaining unoffered under the Plan.
