Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     On April 5, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 3, 2011, by and among FCB I Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FCB I”), FCB I Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB I (“Merger Sub”), and CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CPEX” or the “Company”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB I. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, were approved by the Company’s board of directors and its stockholders. The Company’s stockholders approved the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of the stockholders held on March 24, 2011.
     At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than shares held by any stockholder of the Company who properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or by FCB I or any subsidiary of either the Company or FCB I, was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.25 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Upon the effective time of the Merger, holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the effective time ceased to have any rights as stockholders of the Company (other than the right to receive $27.25 in cash, without interest, and if exercised in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, appraisal rights).
     Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding unvested and non-exercisable stock option of the Company became fully vested and exercisable. As of the effective time of the Merger, each stock option outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $27.25 over the per share exercise price for such stock option and (ii) the total number of shares underlying such stock option. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit of the Company became fully vested and cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) $27.25 and (ii) the total number of shares underlying such restricted stock unit.
     The Merger consideration was funded in part by FCB I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub through proceeds of a loan agreement by and among FCB I LLC, as borrower, The Bank of New York Mellon, as agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. In addition, the Merger consideration was funded in part through financing received from Black Horse Capital LP, Black Horse Capital Master Fund Ltd., Footstar Corporation (“Footstar”) and from FCB I’s and the Company’s internally available cash and cash from operations. For information about the interests of CPEX’s directors and officers in the Merger, reference is made to the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on February 4, 2011.
     The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information and details of the Merger Agreement were previously disclosed in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 4, 2011, and are incorporated by reference herein.
