This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333‑224500) (the “Registration Statement”), registering 383,718 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Level One Bancorp, Inc. (“Common Stock”) issuable pursuant to the Level One Bancorp, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan, 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Level One Bancorp, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and any additional shares that become issuable under such plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.

On April 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), Level One Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into First Merchants Corporation (“First Merchants”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between First Merchants and the Company. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Common Stock has been canceled and is no longer outstanding.

In connection with the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertakings 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 offerings, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to deregister all the shares of Common Stock registered by the Registration Statement which remained unissued as of the Effective Date.
