DEREGISTRATION OF
SECURITIES
On July
31, 2008, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement")
dated as of March 13, 2008 and subsequently amended and restated, among
Palisades Safety and Insurance Association, an insurance exchange organized
under NJSA 17:50-1
et
seq.
("Palisades"), Apollo Holdings, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
wholly owned by Palisades (the "Merger Sub"), and National Atlantic Holdings
Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), the Merger Sub merged
into and with the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving
entity. Immediately following the merger, the Company became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Palisades. Each common share of the
Company (other than shares of Company common stock owned by us and our
subsidiaries), no par value of the Company, issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to
receive $6.25 in cash, without interest.
As a
result, the Company has terminated all offerings of its common stock pursuant to
its existing registration statements, including the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-125765) (the "Registration
Statement"). In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in
its Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a
post-effective amendment, any shares of the Company's common stock which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from
registration all shares of its common stock under the Registration Statement
which remained unsold as of the effective time of the merger.
