DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-169816) (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed by Westway Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in order to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to deregister, as of the Effective Time (defined below), all securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time.

On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bishop Infrastructure III Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), and Bishop Infrastructure II Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to accept for payment in cash all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) effective on February 1, 2013 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, each remaining issued and outstanding security not tendered in the Offer (other than securities held by the Parent, the Purchaser or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, and securities for which appraisal rights were properly demanded and perfected in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”)) was, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, converted into the right to receive in cash the amount of $6.70, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, subject to any appraisal rights available to the holders of such securities under section 262 of the DGCL.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
