RECENT EVENTS - DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the registration statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-118158 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), filed by Axsys Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), for the registration of common stock to be offered pursuant to the Axsys Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan (as amended, the “Plan”).

 

On September 2, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 4, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GD AIS”), and Vision Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“General Dynamics”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics.  Pursuant to the Merger, each share of the common stock of the Registrant (including each share of the Registrant’s restricted common stock) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) shares of common stock held by the Registrant, General Dynamics, GD AIS or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries and (ii) dissenting shares) was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $54.00, without interest, less any required withholding taxes.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement.  The Registrant hereby removes from registration any common stock registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective automatically upon the date of filing in accordance with Rules 456 and 464 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
