EXPLANATORY NOTE
On September 21, 2005, Valley Forge Scientific Corp., a former Pennsylvania corporation and predecessor Registrant to Synergetics USA, Inc. ("Valley Forge"), completed its merger with Synergetics, Inc., a Missouri corporation, pursuant to which Synergetics, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valley Forge (the "Merger"). On September 22, 2005, Valley Forge merged with and into VFSC Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valley Forge, thereby reincorporating in Delaware (the "Reincorporation Merger"). Simultaneously with the Reincorporation Merger, VFSC Delaware, Inc. changed its name to Synergetics USA, Inc. (the "Registrant").
Prior to the Merger and Reincorporation Merger, Valley Forge filed on October 26, 2001 a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-72296) (the "Initial Registration Statement") which registered 345,000 shares of Valley Forge common stock reserved for issuance under the Valley Forge Scientific Corp. 2001 Stock Plan. At the Valley Forge 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on September 19, 2005, the Valley Forge shareholders approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Valley Forge Scientific Corp. 2001 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 1,000,000 shares of common stock.  On December 30, 2005, the Registrant filed a post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement (the "Post-Effective Amendment") pursuant to Rule 414 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), whereby the Registrant, as successor issuer to Valley Forge, expressly adopted the Initial Registration Statement as its own for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and registered an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), authorized for issuance under the plan.
At the Registrant's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 12, 2013, the Registrant's shareholders approved and adopted the Second Amended and Restated Synergetics USA, Inc. 2001 Stock and Performance Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the plan by 655,000, for a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the plan.
The contents of the Initial Registration Statement and Post-Effective Amendment are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
