     The plans identified above are collectively referred to as the “Plans”.

     On January 14, 2008, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Swingset Holdings Corp. (now known as Bright Horizons Capital Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Swingset Acquisition Corp. (now known as Bright Horizons Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The closing for the Merger has occurred, and the Merger became effective on May 28, 2008 (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed on the same date with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time each outstanding share of common stock of the Registrant (other than certain shares held by certain members of the Registrant’s management) was automatically converted into the right to receive $48.25 in cash, without interest.

     In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any shares of the Registrant’s common stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby de-registers any and all shares of common stock originally reserved for issuance under the Plans and registered under the Registration Statements listed above which remained unissued at the Effective Time.
