Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 and 4

Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs to the end of each Item:

“On July 16, 2010, SAP America, the Purchaser and Sybase (i) waived, for the purposes of the single extension of the Offer described in clause (ii) below only, the requirement set forth in the Merger Agreement that any extension of the Offer by reason of any of the conditions to the Offer having not been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived by Parent or the Purchaser, be for successive periods of 10 Business Days each, and (ii) agreed that the Offer, which expired at 9:00 p.m. New York City time on July 16, 2010, will be extended to 9:00 p.m. New York City time on July 26, 2010.

On July 16, 2010, the Purchaser extended the expiration of the Offer until 9:00 p.m., New York City time on Monday, July 26, 2010, unless further extended. The Offer, which was previously scheduled to expire at 9:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2010, was extended because certain conditions to the Offer were not yet satisfied, including approval of the EC under the EC Merger Regulation. As previously disclosed, SAP AG provided notice of the transaction to the EC on June 16, 2010, which makes July 22, 2010 the date on which the initial 25 working day review period expires, unless the review period is terminated prior to such expiration by the EC.
