EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-121375) (the “Registration Statement”) of Overland Storage, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 17, 2004. The Registration Statement registered the following: 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, for issue pursuant to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (without giving effect to adjustments for stock splits or similar events occurring after the date such Registration Statement was filed).

On December 1, 2014, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, S3D Acquisition Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), a California corporation, and Sphere 3D Corporation (“Parent”), an Ontario corporation, dated as of May 15, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company merged with Merger Subsidiary, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.46385 shares of Parent’s common stock.

As a result of the Merger, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and remove from registration any and all securities of the Company previously registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Plan Shares”), in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Plan Shares are hereby deregistered.
