INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On September 16, 2011, China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Rightmark Merger Sub Limited, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Rightmark Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Parent”), pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 3, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and Mr. Guoshen Tu, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (solely for the purpose of Section 6.15 of the Merger Agreement). As a result of the Merger, the Company is now wholly owned by Parent, which is controlled by Mr. Guoshen Tu.
| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On September 15, 2011, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of its intent to remove its common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Company Common Stock”) from listing on the NYSE and requested the NYSE to file a delisting application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist and deregister the Company Common Stock. The Company will file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting the deregistration of the Company Common Stock and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
| Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
As of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of the Company Common Stock was converted into the right to receive $6.50 per share in cash, without interest, excluding shares owned by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, including shares contributed to Parent by Mr. Guoshen Tu, Wing Khai Yap (Terence), Lizhong Wang, Zhongxin Xie, Lingfeng Xiong, Li Fang, Ying Zhang, Zhiming Wu, Daobin Sang, Guohui Cao, Po Kwai Chow, Yang Zhao, Yujuan Guan, Zhuo Gong, Xihong Dai, Qiaomin Wu, Kaicheng Cheng, Lei Wang and Xiaosheng Tong, each of whom is a member of the Company’s management team or the nominee of a member of the Company’s management team (collectively, the “Rollover Stockholders”) pursuant to an equity rollover agreement among Parent, Intelligent One Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and the Rollover Stockholders immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or (iii) stockholders who have properly exercised, perfected and not withdrawn a demand for, or lost the right to, appraisal rights under Delaware law (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”). In addition, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time was canceled and, in exchange therefor, converted into the right to receive a cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the excess of $6.50 over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such warrant and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such warrant; provided, that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of any such warrant is equal to or greater than $6.50, such warrant was canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

On September 16, 2011, Parent consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company through the Merger. The Company is the surviving corporation in the Merger and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
