EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

On September 1, 2000, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company”) filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-8 (File No. 333-45074) to register 500,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), 500,000 Preferred Stock Purchase Rights represented by the shares of Common Stock, and an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold, all pursuant to the Leggett & Platt, Incorporated 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”).

In accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement (pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), the Company hereby removes from registration any securities that were registered but unsold under the Registration Statement. The Company is removing from registration such securities because its obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has terminated as a result of the removal of the Company’s Common Stock as an investment alternative under the Plan, effective December 30, 2010.

Accordingly, the Company files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister 461,469 shares of Common Stock, all Preferred Stock Purchase Rights which previously expired February 15, 2009 and all interests in the Plan that were registered for issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement and that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
