The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-144172) (the “Registration Statement”) of BIDZ.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pertaining to the registration of an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company issuable under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan, 2002 Special Stock Option Plan, and 2006 Stock Award Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on June 29, 2007.
On November 26, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of May 17, 2012, by and among the Company, Glendon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Bidz Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), Merger Subsidiary merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger became effective upon filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 26, 2012, (the “Effective Time”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by Parent, the Company or their respective subsidiaries and shares held by dissenting stockholders), automatically was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.78 per share in cash, without interest.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated the offering of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the Effective Time.
