REMOVAL OF SHARES FROM REGISTRATION

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 is being filed in order to deregister all securities remaining unsold under that certain Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-77077) (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed on April 27, 1999 to register 41,666 shares of the common stock of Vertrue Incorporated (“Vertrue”).

     Vertrue entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 22, 2007, as amended by the Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vertrue, Velo Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Velo Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would merge with and into Vertrue, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub would cease, and Vertrue would continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

     On August 15, 2007, Vertrue held a special meeting of stockholders at which the stockholders of Vertrue approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Merger became effective on August 16, 2007 upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     In connection with the closing of the Merger, all offerings of Vertrue’s common stock pursuant to existing registration statements, including this Registration Statement, have been terminated. Vertrue files this post-effective amendment to remove from registration all of the shares that were registered by the Registration Statement but remain unsold as of the date hereof.
