Item 8.01 Other Events
At the Rock of Ages Corporation Special Meeting of Stockholders held
on October 15, 2009, the proposal to change the state of incorporation
of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Vermont was
approved. In accordance with the proposal, the reincorporation will
be effected by a merger of Rock of Ages Corporation with its wholly
owned Vermont subsidiary, Rock of Ages Corporation (Vermont). The
reincorporation and merger will not result in any change in the
business, management, location of the Company's principal executive
offices, assets, liabilities, net worth, or accounting practices. The
shares of Class A common stock will continue to be publicly
traded. The merger will not give rise to any appraisal or dissenters'
rights. Each outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be
automatically converted into one share of the common stock of the
surviving corporation. Upon completion of the Merger, the name of the
surviving company will be changed to "Rock of Ages Corporation." A
proxy statement for the October 15, 2009 Special Meeting of
Stockholders with further details concerning the reincorporation
proposal submitted for shareholder approval was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and transmitted to all shareholders
of record as of August 28, 2009 on or about September 17, 2009.
