    Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194186), an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on February 27, 2014, pertaining to the offer and sale, from time to time, of certain shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant (the “ Common Stock ”) by certain stockholders of the Registrant described in such Registration Statement.

On November 8, 2017, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 2, 2017 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among the Registrant, Red Ventures Holdco, LP, a North Carolina limited partnership (“ Red Ventures ”), and Baton Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Red Ventures (“ Merger Sub ”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Red Ventures (the “ Merger ”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than certain shares specified in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest.

In connection with the Merger, the Registrant is terminating the Registrant Statement and all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements and deregistering the remaining shares of Common Stock registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the shares of Common Stock that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such shares of Common Stock.
