Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 14, 2007, the Company closed the previously announced sale of substantially all of the Genomics Assets, except for the assets of the Company’s molecular diagnostics business, to Ocimum pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company received $7 million in cash at the closing and a $3 million promissory note from Ocimum and Ocimum India due eighteen (18) months following the date of closing. The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.99 to Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 18, 2007 and Letter Agreement No. 1 and Letter Agreement No. 2, each amending the Asset Purchase Agreement as filed on October 18, 2007, were previously filed as Exhibits 10.99(a) and 10.99(b), respectively, to Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 18, 2007 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.04 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

The Board of Directors of Gene Logic Inc. (the “Company”) amended Article VII of the Company's By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective as of December 20, 2007, to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares. By being able to issue uncertificated shares, the Company may now participate in the Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. The amendment to the By-laws also provides that each registered stockholder shall be entitled to a stock certificate upon written request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.

The full text of the By-laws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report, and amended Article VII thereof is incorporated herein by reference.
