DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, (Registration No. 333-25477) previously filed by BioClinica, Inc. (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 1997 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered 1,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, of the Registrant for resale by the selling stockholder named therein.

 

On March 13, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2013, by and among the Registrant, BioCore Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and BC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”) with the Registrant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  As a result of the Merger, the Registrant’s common stockholders became entitled to receive $7.25 for each share of common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, of the Registrant held by such stockholders immediately before the effectiveness of the Merger.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the effective time of the Merger, if any.
