As a result of the Merger, the Registrant is terminating any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and deregistering the remaining shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”) registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all of the Shares that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
