DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following registration statements of Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta”) on Form S-3 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”):

 

    Registration Statement No. 333-181074, filed on May 1, 2012, pertaining to the registration of an indeterminate amount of Solta’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Solta Common Stock”); shares of preferred stock; warrants to purchase shares of Solta Common Stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities; debt securities consisting of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness; or units consisting of any combination of such securities, which may be offered from time to time in one or more series or issuances up to an aggregate amount of $75,000,000; and

 

    Registration Statement No. 333-187657, filed on April 1, 2013 (as amended on April 29, 2013), registering 13,300,152 shares of the Solta Common Stock for the resale from time to time by certain selling stockholders of Solta named in Registration Statement No. 333-187657.

Solta, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, a Delaware corporation (“VPI”), Sapphire Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of VPI (“Merger Sub”), and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., a Canadian corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 15, 2013, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub merged with and into Solta, with Solta continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and all outstanding shares of Solta Common Stock were converted into the right to receive $2.92 in cash, without interest, less any required withholding taxes. The Merger became effective on January 23, 2014 (the “Effective Time”) following the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

As a result of the Merger, Solta has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by Solta in the Registration Statements 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, Solta hereby removes from registration any and all securities of Solta registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the Effective Time.
