DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

This post-effective amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”), filed by Angelica Corporation, a Missouri corporation (“Angelica”), deregisters the shares of common stock of Angelica, $1.00 par value per share, and attached Preferred Share Purchase Rights (collectively, the “Securities”), issuable under the Angelica Corporation 1994 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan, that had been registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 033-59781) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on  June 1, 1995,  (the “Registration Statement”), and that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment.

 

On August 4, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 22, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Clothesline Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Clothesline Acquisition Corporation, a Missouri corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Angelica, Merger Sub merged with and into Angelica (the “Merger”), with Angelica as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Angelica was converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash at the effective time of the Merger.  In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Preferred Share Purchase Rights were terminated.  The Merger became effective upon filing the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Missouri on August 4, 2008 (the “Effective Time”).

 

As a result of the Merger, Angelica has terminated all offerings of its Securities pursuant to its existing registration statements on file with the Commission, including the Registration Statement.  In accordance with an undertaking made by Angelica in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any Securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Angelica hereby removes from registration all Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment.
