On October 11, 2019, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 25, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, Marvel Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Marvel Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such shares of Common Stock.
