Attached is the preliminary proxy statement filed on May 6, 2009 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) of QAD Inc. (“QAD” or the “Company”) relating to the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of QAD to be held on June 10, 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, we will ask our stockholders to approve an exchange program to permit eligible employees to voluntarily exchange eligible stock options and stock appreciation rights relating to the Company’s common stock for new stock appreciation rights (the “Exchange Program”). In connection with the proposed Exchange Program, QAD is herewith filing the Preliminary Proxy Statement.
The Preliminary Proxy Statement does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options and/or stock appreciation rights to exchange those instruments. The proposed Exchange Program will only be commenced, if at all, if the Company’s stockholders approve the proposed Exchange Program.
The Exchange Program that is referenced in the Preliminary Proxy Statement has not commenced and is conditioned upon stockholder approval. Even if the requisite stockholder approval is obtained, the Company may still decide later not to implement the proposed Exchange Program. Upon commencement of the Exchange Program, QAD will file a Tender Offer Statement and related exhibits and documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which should be read by all of the Company’s eligible employees holding option and/or stock appreciation rights that are eligible to participate in the Exchange Program, as they will contain important information. The written materials described above and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC will be available (i) free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. (ii) by directing a written request to: QAD Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 100 Innovation Place, Santa Barbara, CA 93108, or (iii) by contacting Investor Relations for the Company at 805-566-5139.
