DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

Bluefly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”) to register 3,666,665 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Registrant (the “Common Stock”).

 

On May 23, 2013, Runway Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (“Clearlake”), purchased from entities affiliated with the four principal stockholders (the “Principal Stockholders”) of the Registrant: Rho Ventures VI, LP; Quantum Industrial Partners LDC; Maverick Fund USA, Ltd., Maverick Fund, L.D.C., and Maverick Fund II, Ltd.; and Prentice Consumer Partners, LP all of the shares of the Common Stock owned by the Principal Stockholders, which represented approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, for a purchase price of $0.0076 per share.

 

On the same day, the Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Purchaser. The Purchase Agreement provided, among other things, for the sale by the Registrant of 2,850,000 newly issued shares of the Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) to the Purchaser. The acquisition of the Purchased Shares, together with the acquisition of the shares from the Principal Stockholders, resulted in the ownership by the Purchaser of an amount of shares of the Common Stock in excess of 90% of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on May 23, 2013 the Purchaser consummated a “short form” merger (the “Merger”), pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). On May 23, 2013, the Purchaser merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving.

 

As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock owned by the Purchaser or by Clear Mode, LLC, an affiliate of Clearlake and the sole stockholder of the Purchaser, shares of Common Stock held by the Registrant as non-voting treasury shares, and shares of the Common Stock for which the holder thereof demands and perfects such holder’s right to an appraisal in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL) were converted into the right to receive $0.10 in cash per share, without interest.

 

As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Item 17 of 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, removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement of the date hereof.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 is being filed to deregister, as of the effectiveness of this post-effective amendment, all unsold shares of Common Stock, the sale of which was registered under the Registration Statement.
