REMOVAL OF SHARES FROM REGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the following Registration Statement filed by Youbet.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”):

 

Registration Statement No. 333-88047, which was filed with the Commission on September 29, 1999, pertaining to the registration of 3,542,096 shares of common stock under the Company’s 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1995 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, and 1998 Stock Option Plan.

 

On June 2, 2010 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”), Tomahawk Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI (“Merger Sub”), and Tomahawk Merger LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock (other than treasury shares of the Company, shares of common stock held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or shares of common stock held by CDI or any of CDI’s subsidiaries) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a combination of 0.0591 of a share of CDI’s common stock and $0.99 in cash. As a result of the Merger, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the Company which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes and withdraws from registration all securities of the Company registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, including the common stock which remains unsold as of the Effective Time.
