DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This post-effective amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) deregisters $650,000,000 in aggregate amount of debt securities (the “Securities”) of M&I LLC (the “Company”), which was known as Marshall & Ilsley Corporation prior to the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2007, among the Company, Metavante Corporation (“Metavante”), Metavante Holding Company (“New Metavante”), Montana Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and WPM, L.P. (the “Investment Agreement”). The Securities were registered by the Company pursuant to the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2000 and declared effective on April 12, 2000 (File No. 333-33814).
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante (the “Holding Company Merger”). On November 1, 2007, in connection with the Holding Company Merger and the other transactions provided for in the Investment Agreement and related transaction documents, every three issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were converted into one share of New Metavante common stock. Following the Holding Company Merger, the Company converted from a Wisconsin corporation to a Wisconsin limited liability company named “M&I LLC” and continued as the same legal entity. The Company, as a limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, distributed the outstanding shares of Metavante capital stock to New Metavante, causing Metavante to be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante. Subsequently, New Metavante contributed the membership interests of the Company to New M&I Corporation (“New Marshall & Ilsley”), which at the time was a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Metavante, and distributed three shares of New Marshall & Ilsley common stock to each holder of New Metavante common stock. New Marshall & Ilsley was subsequently renamed Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. As a result, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration the Securities remaining unsold as of the effective time of the Holding Company Merger.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, on November 29, 2007.
