REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION
     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Boots & Coots, Inc. (formerly named Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc., the “Company”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2006 (Registration No. 333-132577) (the “Original Form S-3”), as amended, including Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 on Form S-1 filed on March 14, 2008 (“Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”), which converted the Original Form S-3 into a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Original Form S-3, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and as further amended, the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on March 28, 2008. The Registration Statement registered the resale of up to 26,462,137 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). On September 17, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 9, 2010, by and among Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (“Halliburton”), Gradient, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton that has been renamed Boots & Coots, LLC. As a result of such merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement.
     In accordance with the undertaking of the Company in the Registration Statement, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 is being filed to remove from registration any and all Common Stock not heretofore sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock.
