On March [19], 2012, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), dated as of November 10, 2011, among the Company, Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Monotype Imaging ”), and Birch Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monotype Imaging (the “ Merger Subsidiary ”), the Merger Subsidiary merged with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”) with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Monotype Imaging. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock, other than Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock, was converted pursuant to the Merger Agreement into the right to receive $4.362 in cash, without interest.
