DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-19951, 333-41199, 333-61489, 333-79147 and 333-116226) (the “Registration Statements”) to deregister the shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Registration Statements.

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister the Shares because the Registrant’s obligation to keep the Registration Statements effective pursuant to the terms of the Registrant’s registration rights agreements with the selling shareholders identified in the prospectuses included in the Registration Statements has expired, and all non-affiliate selling shareholders should now be eligible to effect resales of their Shares under Rule 144.

The Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and deregisters all of the Shares registered on the Registration Statements that were not resold thereunder as of the date hereof.
