DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this Amendment) to the Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (No. 333-144019) which was declared effective on August 7, 2007 (the Registration Statement),
is being filed to deregister unsold common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants

On January 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement)
with TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation (TD AMERITRADE), Tango Acquisition Corporation One
(Merger Sub One) and Tango Acquisition Corporation Two (Merger Sub Two). The Agreement
contemplated that Merger Sub One would be merged with and into the Company (the First Step
Merger) and that the Company would survive the First Step Merger. Immediately following the First
Step Merger, the Company was to merge with and into Merger Sub Two (the Second Step Merger and,
taken together with the First Step Merger, the Merger) and Merger Sub Two would survive the
Second Step Merger. The Merger became effective on June 11, 2009 (the Effective Date) as a result
of filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
As of the Effective Date, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger was cancelled and (other than Shares owned by (i) the Company, TD
AMERITRADE or any subsidiary of TD AMERITRADE or (ii) shareholders who properly exercised the
statutory rights of appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law) converted into the right
to receive $3.34 in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, and
0.3980 of a share of TD AMERITRADE common stock.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant
to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with
an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by
means of a posteffective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statement
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from
registration any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of
the Effective Time.
