DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
     On May 26, 1998, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Huntington Capital II (“Trust II”), Huntington Capital III, Huntington Capital IV, Huntington Capital V, and Huntington Capital VI, each a Delaware statutory business trust (collectively, the “Trusts”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration Nos. 333-53579, 333-53579-01, 333-53579-02, 333-53579-03, 333-53579-04, and 333-53579-05) (the “Registration Statement”) to register the sale of $250 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) and the Trusts’ capital securities (the “Capital Securities”).  The Registration Statement also related to the guarantees of the Company with respect to the Capital Securities (the “Guarantees”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 1998. Pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement, dated June 5, 1998, to the Prospectus, dated June 5, 1998, Trust II issued and sold $100 million of its Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series B (Liquidation Amount $1,000 per Capital Security). No other securities have been offered or sold under the Registration Statement. The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement is to withdraw and remove from registration the $150 million unissued and unsold Debentures, Capital Securities, and related Guarantees previously registered under the Registration Statement.
     In accordance with the undertaking of the Company and the Trusts in the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement is hereby amended to deregister all of the unissued and unsold Debentures, Capital Securities, and Guarantees registered under the Registration Statement. As a result of this deregistration, no securities remain registered for sale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
