Item 2.01		Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

At a special meeting of shareholders held on July 29, 2010, the shareholders of National Dentex Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), adopted and approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among GDC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Royal Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of GeoDigm Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“GeoDigm”), and the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation thereof and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoDigm (the “Merger”). Parent is indirectly controlled by Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XI, L.P. (“Welsh Carson”), a private equity investment fund. The Company’s shareholders cast 5,203,140 votes for and 10,597 votes against the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. There were 1,329 abstentions with respect to the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

On July 29, 2010, the Company also consummated the Merger. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, other than shares owned by the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, was cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive $17.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The total amount of the consideration payable in connection with the Merger is approximately $104 million in cash. The funds used by Parent to consummate the Merger are from equity and debt financing from existing investors in GeoDigm’s ultimate parent company, including Welsh Carson and third party senior secured debt financing.


Item 3.01		Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Following completion of the Merger, the Company notified the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) and requested that Nasdaq: (i) withdraw the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq prior to the opening of trading on July 30, 2010; and (ii) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an application on Form 25 to report that the Company’s common stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq. As a result, the Company’s common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting that its common stock be deregistered and that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.


Item. 3.03		Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive $17.00 per share in cash, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes.
