On September 17, 2014, Veracyte, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to report the completion of its previously announced acquisition of Allegro Diagnostics Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Allegro”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated September 4, 2014 among the Company, Allegro, Full Moon Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Andrey Zarur, as Stockholders’ Agent, and certain stockholders of Allegro.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Allegro, with Allegro continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At that time, the Company stated in the Original Form 8-K that it intended to file the required financial statements and pro forma financial information within 71 days from the date that such Original Form 8-K was required to be filed.
