EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Deregistration of Securities

     On April 7, 2006, PECO II, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-133112) (the “Registration Statement”) to register the sale of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the PECO II, Inc. Amended 2000 Performance Plan. The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is to withdraw and remove from registration all remaining unissued and unsold shares of Common Stock previously registered under the Registration Statement.

     On February 18, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lineage Power Holdings, Inc. (“Lineage”), a Delaware corporation, and Lineage Power Ohio Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lineage. On April 16, 2010, the Company completed its merger with Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Lineage. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of the Company (other than shares held by the parties to the merger) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $5.86 per share, without interest, and the Company’s Amended 2000 Performance Plan was terminated. As a result of the merger, the Registration Statement is hereby amended to deregister all of the unissued and unsold shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement. As a result of this deregistration, no securities remain registered for sale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
