DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this "Post-Effective Amendment"), filed by Cartesian, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-198093) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2014 (the "Registration Statement") pertaining to the registration of the securities described in the Registration Statement.
On March 21, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Cartesian Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Cartesian Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). The Merger became effective on June 28, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
As of the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares owned directly by the Company or Merger Sub or shares as to which appraisal rights are perfected) was converted into the right to receive $0.40, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities that were registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
