In accordance with the undertakings made by Casmyn Corp. in its Registration Statement on Form S-8 listed above to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any shares of common stock that remained unsold at the termination of the offering, Cardium, as the successor issuer, hereby files this post-effective amendment to deregister any and all shares of common stock originally reserved for issuance under the Casmyn Plans and registered under the Registration Statement listed above that remained unissued upon the termination of the Casmyn Plans.
