Item 15. Additional Information
Regulation M-A Item 1011
Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     On August 15, 2007, at a special meeting of Vertrue’s shareholders, Vertrue’s shareholders voted to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 22, 2007, by and among Vertrue, Parent and Merger Sub, as amended by the Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2007 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”).
     On August 16, 2007, Vertrue filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Vertrue, with Vertrue continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Vertrue became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware General Corporation Law and shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or Vertrue or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Vertrue) were converted into the right to receive $50.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, (ii) each outstanding option to purchase the Common Stock, vested or unvested, was cancelled and only entitle the holder of such option to receive a cash payment equal to the total number of shares of the Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $50.00 exceeds the option exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, (iii) each outstanding share of restricted stock of Vertrue was cancelled and only entitle the holder of such restricted stock to receive a cash payment of $50.00, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. In connection with the Merger, Gary A. Johnson contributed $20 million in value of his shares of the Common Stock to Parent.
     Vertrue will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to deregister its Common Stock under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
