RECENT EVENTS — DEREGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-166631) filed by Cardiac Science Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2010 (the “Registration Statement”), which registered an aggregate amount of 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), relating to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and Award Agreement between Cardiac Science Corporation and Todd T. Alberstone effective January 11, 2010.

On October 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Opto Circuits (India) Ltd., a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the nation of India (“Opto Circuits”), and Jolt Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Opto Circuits (“Merger Sub”), which was subsequently amended on October 29, 2010 and November 19, 2010 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). On December 3, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Opto Circuits and all shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than any shares owned by Opto Circuits or Merger Sub, any shares owned by the Company as treasury stock and any shares owned by stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to their shares) were canceled and converted into the right to receive $2.30 in cash per share of Common Stock, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its shares of Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with the foregoing, the Company hereby removes from registration all the shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement which remain unissued and unsold as of the date hereof.
