International Corp. (&#147;Company&#148;) is filing this registration statement on Form
S-8 to register seventy-five million (75,000,000) additional shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value per share, authorized for issuance under our Averion International Corp.
2005 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the &#147;Plan&#148;). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March 14, 2006, we initially registered twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common
stock authorized for issuance under our Plan by filing a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (Registration No. 333-132405). Of the seventy-five million (75,000,000) additional
shares of common stock that are subject to this registration statement,
(i)&nbsp;twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares represent shares that were authorized
pursuant to an amendment to our Plan to increase the number of shares of our common stock
available for issuance under our Plan from twenty-five million (25,000,000) to fifty
million (50,000,000), and was approved by a majority of our stockholders at our annual
meeting on June 15, 2006, and (ii) fifty million (50,000,000) shares represent shares that
were authorized pursuant to an amendment to our Plan to increase the number of shares of
our common stock available for issuance under the Plan from fifty million (50,000,000) to
one hundred million (100,000,000), and was approved by the written consent of a majority
of our stockholders on August 14, 2006. The amendment increasing the shares authorized for
issuance under our Plan from fifty million (50,000,000) to one hundred million
(100,000,000) became effective as of September 21, 2006, upon the expiration of the twenty
(20) day waiting period prescribed by Rule&nbsp;14c-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, after we mailed our stockholders an information statement informing them of such
amendment. </FONT></P>

REGISTRATION OF
ADDITIONAL SHARES
PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E
Averion
International Corp. ("Company") is filing this registration statement on Form
S-8 to register seventy-five million (75,000,000) additional shares of common stock,
$0.001 par value per share, authorized for issuance under our Averion International Corp.
2005 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan").
On
March 14, 2006, we initially registered twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common
stock authorized for issuance under our Plan by filing a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (Registration No. 333-132405). Of the seventy-five million (75,000,000) additional
shares of common stock that are subject to this registration statement,
(i) twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares represent shares that were authorized
pursuant to an amendment to our Plan to increase the number of shares of our common stock
available for issuance under our Plan from twenty-five million (25,000,000) to fifty
million (50,000,000), and was approved by a majority of our stockholders at our annual
meeting on June 15, 2006, and (ii) fifty million (50,000,000) shares represent shares that
were authorized pursuant to an amendment to our Plan to increase the number of shares of
our common stock available for issuance under the Plan from fifty million (50,000,000) to
one hundred million (100,000,000), and was approved by the written consent of a majority
of our stockholders on August 14, 2006. The amendment increasing the shares authorized for
issuance under our Plan from fifty million (50,000,000) to one hundred million
(100,000,000) became effective as of September 21, 2006, upon the expiration of the twenty
(20) day waiting period prescribed by Rule 14c-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, after we mailed our stockholders an information statement informing them of such
amendment.
Pursuant
to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of our Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (Registration No. 333-132405), including the documents incorporated by reference
therein, are incorporated by reference into this registration statement, except as set
