Thoma (together with TCEP, Partners, Fund VIII and ELC Holdings, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Excelligence Common Stock”), of Excelligence Learning Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     The disclosure in Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:
     On November 29, 2006, the effective date of the Merger, each outstanding share of Excelligence Common Stock was converted into the right to receive $13.00 per share in cash (other than (i) shares owned by the Issuer or ELC Holdings Corporation, including shares contributed by Ronald Elliott, Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, to ELC Holdings Corporation prior to the Merger, which were cancelled without any payment in the Merger and (ii) shares owned by any stockholders who were entitled to and properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The Issuer continues as the surviving corporation of the Merger.
     Pursuant to Section 6.1 of each Voting Agreement, the Voting Agreements terminated at the effective time of the Merger. As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by and set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the effective time of the Merger, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owned any shares of Excelligence Common Stock.
