The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-150089) (the “Registration Statement”) of Pharsight Corporation (“Pharsight”), pertaining to the registration of certain shares of Pharsight’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Pharsight Common Stock”), issuable to eligible employees of Pharsight under the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 2001 UK Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2008.
Pharsight, Tripos (DE), Inc. (“Tripos”) and Pearson Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tripos (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 8, 2008, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would be merged with and into Pharsight, Pharsight would survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tripos and each outstanding share of Pharsight Common Stock would be converted into the right to receive $5.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger”).
On October 31, 2008, Pharsight effected the Merger pursuant to Section 251 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Merger became effective as specified in a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 31, 2008 (the “Merger Date”).
As a result of the Merger, Pharsight has terminated all offerings of Pharsight Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by Pharsight in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of Pharsight Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Pharsight hereby removes from registration all shares of Pharsight Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the Merger Date.
