DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3
filed on June 29, 2007, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on August 21,
2007, Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 filed on October 10, 2007 and Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 3 filed on December 27, 2007 (File No. 333-144198) (the “Registration Statement”), with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by ACE*COMM Corporation (the “Registrant”). The
Registration Statement registered the offer and sale of up to 5,450,000 shares of the
Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by selling stockholders.
On September 22, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July
11, 2008, between the Registrant, Ariston Global Holding LLC and Ariston Global Merger Sub,
Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant
continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each
share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant was converted into the
right to receive $0.545 in cash, without interest.
The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1, any and all securities registered under the Registration Statement that
have not been issued prior to the Merger.
