ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The description set forth in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01.

ITEM 8.01 Other Events

On October 2, 2006, Openwave Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Openwave”), completed its acquisition of Solomio Corporation (“Solomio”). In connection with the acquisition, Openwave entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among Openwave, Syntax Acquisition, Inc., and Solomio, dated September 18, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Openwave acquired Solomio for approximately $10.8 million cash consideration (before purchase price adjustments, if any, described below) and a contingent earn-out of up to an additional $5.5 million. The actual amount of the contingent earn-out payment, if any, will be determined based upon the achievement of certain financial targets by the Solomio product line over various periods between closing and December 31, 2007. Of the approximately $10.8 million in cash paid upon completion of the transaction, $250,000 will be held in escrow pending the resolution of purchase price adjustments, if any (“Working Capital Hold-Back Amount”), $1.0 million will be held in escrow for a 9 month period from the closing date (“Special Indemnity Amount”) and $1.5 million will be held for a 15 month period from the closing date (“Indemnity Hold-Back Amount”). The Special Indemnity Amount and the Indemnity Hold-Back Amount have been set aside to indemnify Openwave for potential claims and litigation under the Agreement.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference. A press release announcing the completion of the acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information.
