DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Form S-3 Registration Statement of Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Furiex”) (the “Registration Statement”):

 

    Registration Statement No. 333-193076, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 24, 2013.

Furiex is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement to withdraw and remove from registration the unissued and unsold securities issuable by Furiex pursuant to the above referenced Registration Statement.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 27, 2014, among Furiex, Forest Laboratories, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as successor to Forest Laboratories, Inc.) (“Forest”), and Royal Empress, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forest (“Merger Sub”), on July 2, 2014, Merger Sub merged with and into Furiex (the “Merger”), with Furiex surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Forest. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Furiex common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger ceased to be outstanding and (other than (i) Shares owned by Furiex as treasury stock, (ii) Shares owned by Forest, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Forest or Furiex and (iii) Shares that are held by any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly demand appraisal in connection with the Merger) was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive (i) $95.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes and (ii) one contractual contingent value right, which represents the right to receive a contingent payment of up to $30.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the achievement of one of certain milestones.

As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Furiex has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by Furiex in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Furiex hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all securities of Furiex registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
