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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 1, 2013.
