     General Cable Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-111436) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2003, registering 2,070,000 shares of the Company’s 5.75% Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock’) and 10,345,860 shares of the Company’s common stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible (the “Conversion Shares”), to be offered from time to time by the selling shareholders named therein (the “Offering”).
     The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 9 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to remove from registration all remaining shares of Preferred Stock and Conversion Shares that were subject to the Offering but remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Company is deregistering these securities because its obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement for the benefit of the selling shareholders has expired.
