DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Renovacor, Inc. (the “Registrant”):

 

 

 

On December 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 19, 2022, by and among the Registrant, Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Rocket”), a Delaware corporation, Zebrafish Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket, and Zebrafish Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket, (i) Merger Sub I merged with and into the Registrant (the “First Merger”) and (ii) the Registrant, as the surviving company of the First Merger, merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II as the surviving company and successor-in-interest to the Registrant following the Mergers, at which time the separate corporate existence of the Registrant ended. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Merger Sub II, as successor to the Registrant, has caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.

 

As a result of the Mergers, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unissued at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered but unsold under such Registration Statements, if any, as of the date hereof.
