On March 8, 2022, the Registrant announced its entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 7, 2022 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), between Google LLC (“Parent”), Dupin Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Registrant. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective as of September 12, 2022, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $23.00 per share in cash, without interest. The Merger became effective on September 12, 2022. As a result of the Merger, the shares of Common Stock will cease to be publicly traded. The Registrant intends to file a Form 15 to terminate its duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered but which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but not sold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
