Explanatory Note 

 

This Registration Statement on Form 8-A of Axion Power International, Inc. replaces Axion Power International, Inc.’s (f/k/a Tamboril Cigar Co.) Registration Statement on 10-SB previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 15, 1997 (the “Prior 10-SB”). The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC has approved the Common Stock and Warrants of the Registrant for listing and trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Common Stock and Warrants of the Registrant are expected to begin trading on such market on October 24, 2014, under the trading symbols AXPW and AXPWW, respectively. As a result of the listing of Axion Power International, Inc.’s Common Stock and Warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Common Stock and Warrants are hereby registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) rather than, in the case of the Common Stock previously, Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. References in this Registration Statement to “Axion,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Axion Power International, Inc.

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED. 

 

Axion hereby incorporates by reference the description of its Common Stock, par value $.005 per share, and Warrants to be registered hereunder contained under the heading “Description of Securities” in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-197978), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 8, 2014, as subsequently amended (the “Registration Statement”), and in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement to be filed separately by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which prospectus shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

ITEM 2. EXHIBITS

 

Under the Instructions as to Exhibits with respect to Form 8-A, no exhibits are required to be filed, because no other securities of the Registrant are registered on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the securities registered hereby are not being registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
