On December 17, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 21, 2012, by and among the Registrant, Reckitt Benckiser LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Ascot Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”) and, for the limited purposes specified in the Merger Agreement, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, following the consummation of Purchaser’s cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant at a price of $42.00 per share, net to holder in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable tax withholding, Ascot Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into the Registrant, and the Registrant became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (the “Merger”).
As a result of the Merger, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated.
