The discussion under Item 8.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.01.
On August 21, 2008, the Company notified NASDAQ that each outstanding share of
Common Stock was converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration and that, as a wholly owned subsidiary of USIS, the Company no
longer met the listing requirements for inclusion in the NASDAQ Global Market
set forth in Rule 4426(b) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Accordingly, the
Company requested that NASDAQ file a notification of removal from listing on
Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the Common Stock. In addition, the Company
will file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination of registration
on Form 15, requesting that the Common Stock be deregistered under
Section 12(b) and 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and that the reporting obligations of the Company under
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Blaisdell, Eric J. Boden, John P. Bowmer and Cranston R. Lintecum and Ms. Margaret R. Taylor no longer serve on the board of directors of the Company.

On August 21, 2008, HireRight, Inc. (the "Company") completed its previously announced merger (the "Merger") with Hercules Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Co."), a wholly owned subsidiary of US Investigations Services, LLC ("USIS"). The Company is the surviving entity and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of USIS.
The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
June 9, 2008, among the Company, USIS and Merger Co., as amended by Amendment
No. 1 thereto, dated July 23, 2008, and Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated July 29,
2008 (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement:

share (the "Common Stock"), was cancelled and automatically converted into the
right to receive $19.75 payable in cash; and (ii) each stock option and warrant
to purchase Common Stock was cancelled and extinguished and the holder of such
stock option or warrant will, in full settlement of such stock option or warrant
and in exchange for the surrender to the Company of any certificate or other
document evidencing such stock option or warrant, receive from the Company an
amount in cash equal to the excess of $19.75 over the applicable option exercise
price, in each case without interest (the "Merger Consideration"). The Merger
Consideration will be paid to the Company's now-former stockholders promptly
following the receipt from them of their respective letters of transmittals and
