Introductory Note
On November 20, 2007, DJO Incorporated (the “Company”) completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Reaction Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ReAble Therapeutics Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 15, 2007, among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”). Parent is controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on November 20, 2007 that shares of common stock of the Company were converted into the right to receive $50.25, without interest, and requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application on Form 25 to report that the shares of common stock of the Company are no longer listed on the NYSE.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
In connection with the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company was converted into the right to receive $50.25, without interest.

On November 20, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of the Company was consummated through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company.
