DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), remove from registration all securities registered under the following registration statements (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

On January 31, 2011, Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parker Tennessee Corp. (“Merger Sub”), acquired approximately 92.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following the successful completion of a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 11, 2010, among Pfizer, the Company, and Merger Sub, Pfizer intends to complete its acquisition of the Company by effecting a short form merger (the “Merger”) on or about February 28, 2011 in accordance with the provisions of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act. Pursuant to the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger that was not accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer (other than shares held by Pfizer or any subsidiary of Pfizer, including Merger Sub, which shares will be cancelled without any conversion) will, at the effective time of the Merger, be

2

converted into the right to receive $14.25 per share net to the shareholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

As a result of the pending Merger, the Company has terminated any offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of these Post-Effective Amendments.
