This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-191286) (the “Registration Statement”) of Performance Technologies, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“PT”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission effective September 20, 2013, registering an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of PT’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”).

On December 12, 2013, PT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sonus Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sonus”), and Purple Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonus (the “Merger Sub”).

Accordingly, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, PT hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by PT in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, removes from registration all remaining Shares under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
