On December 17, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Harland Clarke Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and V Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
