On October 22, 2009, Vasogen Inc. (“Vasogen”), IntelliPharmaCeutics Ltd. (“IPC US”) and certain affiliates of Vasogen and IPC US completed a court-approved plan of arrangement and merger, which resulted in an amalgamated corporation, IntelliPharmaCeutics International Inc. (“New IPC”).  The arrangement and merger were effected pursuant to Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”). Upon the completion of the Arrangement, each former Vasogen shareholder received 0.065963061 common shares of New IPC for each share exchanged by them in the Arrangement.

Upon effectiveness of the Arrangement, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), New IPC elects to become the successor issuer to Vasogen for reporting purposes under the Exchange Act and elects to report under the Exchange Act effective October 22, 2009. New IPC has assumed certain registration statements filed by Vasogen prior to the Arrangement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all reports filed by Vasogen prior to the Arrangement under the Exchange Act.
 
Upon effectiveness of the Arrangement, the common shares of New IPC will be deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act with New IPC as a successor issuer to Vasogen pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) of the Exchange Act. The New IPC common shares are listed on the Nasdaq and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and trade on both the Nasdaq and TSX under the ticker symbols “IPCI” and “I”, respectively. This Form 6-K is being submitted by New IPC to the Securities and Exchange Commission as notice that New IPC is the successor issuer to Vasogen under Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act, as required by Rule 12g-3(f).
