DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On January 10, 2014, Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (the "Company") filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 on Form S-8 (No. 333-190348) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Plan.

On July 6, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, ACP Crotona Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and ACP Crotona Merger Sub Corp., a New York corporation ("Merger Sub"), the Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger").

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company's securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
