Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective October 26, 2007, Critical Path, Inc. (the “Company”) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Computershare Trust Company, Inc. (“Computershare”), entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 8”) to the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2001, between the Company and Computershare, as Rights Agent, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 6, 2001, Amendment No. 2, dated as of November 18, 2003, Amendment No. 3, dated as of January 16, 2004, Amendment No. 4, dated as of March 9, 2004, Amendment No. 5, dated as of June 24, 2004, Amendment No. 6, dated as of December 29, 2004, and Amendment No. 7, dated as of February 10, 2005 (collectively, the “Rights Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Rights Agreement.

Among other things, Amendment No. 8 amends the definition of “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement to confirm that the shares of Common Shares and Common Voting Equivalents Beneficially Owned by GAP shall not be deemed to be Beneficially Owned by Cenwell (as defined in Section 1(a)(iii)(B) of Amendment No. 8 (“Cenwell”)), and vice-versa, by virtue of any agreement, arrangement, understanding or proposal between or involving GAP and Cenwell as described in the following: (i) the Schedule 13D/A of GAP filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 17, 2007 and (ii) the Schedule 13D/A of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited filed with the SEC on October 18, 2007. The effect of Amendment No. 8 is to confirm that holdings of GAP will not, as a result of any agreement, arrangement, understanding or proposal between or involving GAP and Cenwell as described in the foregoing Schedules 13D/A, be used to determine whether Cenwell is an Acquiring Person, and vice versa (with respect to any such determination involving GAP or Cenwell, as the case may be). A copy of Amendment No. 8 is filed as Exhibit 4.9 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
