~~Item~~On November 716, 2010, Osteotech notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) of the consummation of the Merger and that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Osteotech (the “Osteotech Common Stock”) was converted into the right to receive $6.50 ~~Regulation~~in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic, Osteotech no longer meets the listing requirements for inclusion on the NASDAQ Global Market set forth in Rule FD5315 ~~Disclosure~~of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. As a result, on November 16, 2010, NASDAQ filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with respect to the Osteotech Common Stock. Osteotech will file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination of registration on Form 15, requesting that the Osteotech Common Stock be deregistered under Sections 12(b) and 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the reporting obligations of Osteotech under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

~~On November~~Item ~~10, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that the stockholders of the Company approved the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting~~3.03. AMaterial ~~copy~~Modification ~~of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1~~ to ~~this~~Rights ~~Current~~of ~~Report~~Security ~~on Form 8-K~~Holders.

~~Item~~The Merger Agreement was approved by Osteotech’s stockholders at the special meeting of Osteotech’s stockholders held on November 9~~.01~~, ~~Financial~~2010, ~~Statements~~ and ~~Exhibits~~the Merger was consummated on November 16, 2010.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Osteotech Common Stock was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Osteotech Common Stock that was outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger was canceled in exchange for the right to receive in cash the amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such option. Each unvested restricted stock unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was, at such time, canceled in exchange for the right to receive in cash the Merger Consideration.

Upon the effective time of the Merger, holders of Osteotech Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger ceased to have any rights as stockholders in Osteotech (other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration).

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Osteotech’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 17, 2010 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Upon the effective time of the Merger, that certain Rights Agreement by and between Osteotech and Registrar And Transfer Company, dated as of January 22, 2010, as amended August 16, 2010, was automatically terminated in accordance with its terms and the Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement) issued thereunder were canceled.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Osteotech, with Osteotech continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic. Accordingly, a change in control of Osteotech occurred pursuant to the Merger. The total amount of Merger Consideration to be paid is approximately $123.6 million. The source of the funds for the Merger is the available cash resources of Medtronic.
