*On March 21, 2011, National Investment Managers Inc. (the "Company") completed its merger (the "Merger") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated March 7, 2011, by and between the Company and DTE Merger Corp., a Florida corporation ("Merger Co."). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Co. merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger. As a result of the Merger, all common shares of the Company held under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment.
 
In light of the foregoing, the Company has filed a post-effective amendment on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to terminate the offering of unsold common shares and related plan interests offered under the Plan, and the Company is filing this Form 15 with the SEC to deregister the plan interests and to suspend the Company's duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 
 
 
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, National Investment Managers Inc. has duly caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
