Effective December 31, 2012, PC Mall, Inc. changed its legal corporate name to PCM, Inc.  We effectuated the name change through a short-form merger where a subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of the name change was merged with and into us, with us as the surviving corporation in the merger.  The merger had the effect of amending our Certificate of Incorporation to reflect our new legal name.  A copy of the Certificate of Ownership and Merger effecting the name change, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 .  By its terms, the Certificate of Ownership and Merger became effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 31, 2012.

 

The merger and resulting name change do not affect the rights of our stockholders, creditors, customers or suppliers.  Other than the name change, we did not make any changes to our Certificate of Incorporation.  In connection with the merger, effective December 31, 2012, we amended our Bylaws solely to reflect our new name and did not make any other changes to our Bylaws.  A copy of the Certificate of our Secretary regarding the name change with respect to our Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 .

 

Item 8.01                                            Other Events

PC Mall Changes its Corporate Name to PCM, Inc. and Ticker Symbol to PCMI

 

EL SEGUNDO, CA — January 2, 2013 — PCM, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCMI)(formerly PC Mall, Inc. (NASDAQ:MALL)) announced today that effective December 31, 2012, we have changed our legal corporate name to PCM, Inc. from PC Mall, Inc.  In connection with the rebranding, effective January 2, 2013, our Common Stock commenced trading on NASDAQ under the ticker PCMI and no longer trades under the prior ticker of MALL.

 

In addition, effective December 31, 2012, we have combined our primary commercial subsidiaries PC Mall Sales, Inc., Sarcom, Inc. and PC Mall Services, Inc. into a single subsidiary. The combined subsidiary will operate under the unified commercial brand PCM and will generally include our SMB, MME and portions of our Corporate & Other segments.  Additionally, in connection with the rebranding, effective December 31, 2012, our PC Mall Gov, Inc. subsidiary changed its name to PCMG, Inc. and will operate under the PCM-G brand.

 

Commenting on the changes, Frank Khulusi, PCM’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “Over the past several years, our company has grown into an approximately $1.5 billion enterprise in part through our acquisition and internal cultivation of different brands. We have historically differentiated those brands primarily based on the identity of the customers they serve. After careful examination of the trends taking shape in the markets we serve, we determined that going forward, our commercial customers can benefit from a more unified and streamlined brand strategy. Accordingly, we have consolidated our commercial brands and realigned our customer segments in an effort to realize significant growth and to achieve a more efficient cost structure. We are very excited about this evolution as we believe it will lead to an improved customer experience, operational synergies and benefits to all of our stakeholders, leveraging a brand that better represents the technology solutions provider we have become.”
