Item 8.01 Other Events

By letter dated April 26, 2011, the staff of the San Francisco office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requested that Celera Corporation (the “Company”) preserve and maintain certain documents in connection with an informal inquiry by the SEC. The staff has indicated in discussions with representatives of the Company that the informal inquiry relates to the Company’s recent restatement of its financial results.

The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC in connection with the informal inquiry.
