AMENDMENT TO REMOVE CERTAIN SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION
 
On December 28, 1990, Worthington Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Worthington Delaware”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 033-38486) (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to which Worthington Delaware registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Worthington Delaware Shares”), of Worthington Delaware (adjusted to 4,500,000 Worthington Delaware Shares as a result of stock splits) to be offered or sold pursuant to the Worthington Industries, Inc. 1990 Stock Option Plan (as amended, the “1990 Plan”).

On October 13, 1998, Worthington Delaware was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Worthington Industries, Inc., an Ohio corporation and then wholly-owned subsidiary of Worthington Delaware (“Worthington Ohio”).  Each Worthington Delaware Share was converted into one common share, without par value (the “Worthington Ohio Common Shares”), of Worthington Ohio.  By virtue of the Merger, Worthington Ohio succeeded to all the business, properties, assets and liabilities of Worthington Delaware.  In addition, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Worthington Ohio Common Shares were deemed to be registered under the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to Rule 414 promulgated under the Securities Act, and as evidenced by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, filed with the SEC on December 16, 1998, Worthington Ohio adopted the Registration Statement of Worthington Delaware, related to the registration under the Securities Act of 2,000,000 Worthington Delaware Shares (adjusted to 4,500,000 Worthington Delaware Shares as a result of stock splits) to be offered under the 1990 Plan, as Worthington Ohio’s own Registration Statement on Form S-8 for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is being filed to amend the Registration Statement (as previously amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto) to remove from registration all of the Worthington Ohio Common Shares, registered for offering or sale pursuant to the 1990 Plan, which remain unsold and unissued.  No awards of stock options are outstanding under the 1990 Plan and none will be granted under the 1990 Plan in the future.
