On December 17, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Harland Clarke Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and V Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Merger became effective on February 4, 2014, pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its Shares pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any Shares which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all Shares registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date hereof and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
