DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

In accordance with the undertaking of Vital Images, Inc. (the “Company”) set forth in its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-39213) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to a total of 75,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under its 1997 Director Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 31, 1997, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister any shares of Common Stock of the Company registered under the Registration Statement that have not been issued or sold.  The Plan has been terminated and each option issued thereunder has been cancelled.  The Company is delisting its Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregistering its Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), through the filing of a Form 25 with the SEC on June 16, 2011 and a Form 15 thereafter. Because the Company will no longer be filing reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company is deregistering the remaining shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan.
