On September 30, 2020, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Gridsum Corporation (“Parent”), and Gridsum Growth Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). On March 25, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
