February 10, 2003

Dear Extensity, Inc. Stockholders:

     You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of stockholders of Extensity, Inc. on March 3, 2003 at 9:30 a.m., local time, at the law offices of Cooley Godward LLP, located at 3175 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California.

     At the special meeting of Extensity’s stockholders, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the merger agreement by and among Geac Computer Corporation Limited, Cage Acquisition Inc., and Geac Computers, Inc., each a subsidiary of Geac, and Extensity and the merger of Cage Acquisition Inc. with and into Extensity. As a consequence of the merger, Extensity would become a subsidiary of Geac. If the merger agreement is adopted and approved and the merger is completed, you will be able to elect to receive either 0.627 of a Geac common share or US$1.75 in cash for each share of Extensity common stock you hold. These amounts may change because they are subject to adjustment depending on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at the closing. For a more complete description of the possible working capital adjustment to these amounts, please refer to the section entitled “The Merger — Structure of the Merger and Conversion of Extensity Common Stock” beginning on page 65. If you fail to make a timely election, you will receive all cash in the merger. The fraction of a Geac common share to be issued and the cash to be paid for each share of Extensity common stock will not be adjusted based upon changes in the market price of Geac common shares or Extensity common stock, and therefore the value of the Geac common shares to be received in the merger will fluctuate as the market price of Geac common shares fluctuates.

     Geac common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “GAC.” On February 4, 2003, the last reported sale price of Geac common shares was CDN$4.16 per share, which represents US$2.75, based on the currency exchange rate on that date. Extensity common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “EXTN.” On February 4, 2003, the last reported sale price of Extensity common stock was US$1.73 per share.

     After careful consideration, Extensity’s board of directors has determined that the proposed merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Extensity and its stockholders. The Extensity board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

     The proxy statement/ prospectus attached to this letter provides detailed information about Geac, Extensity, the merger and a related proposal. Please give this information your careful attention. For a more complete description of the merger and risk factors you should consider in connection with your vote, you should carefully consider the discussion in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 and “The Merger” beginning on page 49.

     By using the enclosed proxy card to vote your shares, you will ensure your representation at the special meeting even if you do not attend in person. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card, as described in the instructions accompanying the enclosed proxy card. Your failure to return the enclosed proxy card will have the same effect as a vote against the merger, unless you attend the meeting and vote in person.

     Your vote is important to Extensity, no matter how many shares you own.

     Thank you.

  Sincerely,
 
  (-s- ROBERT SPINNER)
 
  ROBERT SPINNER
  President and Chief Executive Officer

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of this transaction or the securities of Geac to be issued in the merger, or determined if this proxy statement/ prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

     This proxy statement/ prospectus is dated February 10, 2003, and was first mailed to stockholders on or about February 10, 2003.

        2.     A proposal to grant Extensity’s management discretionary authority to adjourn the special meeting to a date or dates not later than April 2, 2003, if necessary to enable Extensity’s management to solicit additional proxies with respect to the merger.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger. The enclosed proxy statement/prospectus describes the above proposals in more detail. We encourage you to read the entire document carefully.

      Extensity’s board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 5, 2003 as the record date for the determination of the stockholders of Extensity entitled to receive notice of the special meeting and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to receive notice of the special meeting and to vote at the meeting and any adjournment of the meeting.

You may revoke your proxy in the manner described in the proxy statement/ prospectus at any time before it has been voted at the special meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR EXTENSITY STOCKHOLDERS

      The following questions and answers are intended to address some commonly asked questions regarding the merger. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you. Please refer to the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Why are the companies proposing to merge? (See pages 53 and 54)

A:  Geac believes that its acquisition of Extensity should enable Geac to extend the functionality of its enterprise application suite and better meet the needs of its enterprise customers worldwide. Extensity is proposing to merge with Geac because it believes the resulting combination will create a stronger, more competitive company with a broader product portfolio, greater financial strength and stronger growth prospects than Extensity would have on its own. The acquisition would offer Extensity stockholders the opportunity either to participate in the broader market opportunities and growth potential of Geac, through an election to receive Geac common shares in the merger, or to realize a premium for the value of their Extensity shares in comparison with their recent historical trading levels prior to announcement of the merger, through an election to receive cash in the merger. To review the background and reasons for the merger in greater detail, see the sections entitled “The Merger — Background of the Merger,” “— Geac’s Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 53 and “— Extensity’s Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 54.

 
Q:  What will the Extensity stockholders receive in the merger? (See page 77)

A:  Each Extensity stockholder will be able to elect to receive for each share of Extensity Common Stock 0.627 of a Geac common share or US$1.75 in cash, each such amount to be subject to adjustment depending on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at the closing of the merger. Shares of Extensity common stock with respect to which a stock election is made are referred to as “stock election shares,” and shares with respect to which a cash election is made, or with respect to which no valid election is made, are referred to as “cash election shares.” You can make different elections for different Extensity shares and thus receive a mix of cash and Geac shares.

To review the merger consideration and the possible working capital adjustment in more detail, see the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement — Consideration Extensity Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger” beginning on page 77 and “The Merger — Structure of the Merger and Conversion of Extensity Common Stock” beginning on page 65.

 
Q:  What will happen to outstanding Extensity stock options? (See page 79)

A:  Options to purchase Extensity common stock with exercise prices greater than US$1.50 per share will accelerate and become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the closing of the merger. If not exercised, these options will terminate immediately before the closing, so that they will not be outstanding or exercisable after the merger closes. All of the options to purchase Extensity common stock subject to accelerated vesting in connection with the merger have an exercise price equal to, or greater than, US$2.15, which is greater than the price at which Extensity common stock has traded since August 26, 2002, the date on which the merger was announced.

Options to purchase Extensity common stock with exercise prices of US$1.50 or less will not be subject to accelerated vesting or termination in connection with the merger and after the closing of the merger will remain outstanding and exercisable to the same extent as such options were outstanding and exercisable immediately prior to the closing of the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, Geac will assume all then-outstanding options to purchase shares of Extensity common stock. The number of Geac common shares issuable upon exercise of each assumed option will be equal to the product of the number of shares of Extensity common stock issuable upon exercise of the original Extensity option multiplied by 0.627 (subject to the possible working capital

1


Table of Contents

adjustment). The exercise price of each assumed option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price of the original Extensity option by 0.627, subject to the possible working capital adjustment.
 
Q:  What will happen to the rights of participants in the Extensity Employee Stock Purchase Plan? (See page 79)

A:  Extensity will shorten the current offering period under the 2000 Extensity Employee Stock Purchase Plan by setting a new exercise date that precedes the day before the closing of the merger. Each participant will have the opportunity to withdraw from the plan and be paid his or her accumulated withholdings under the plan, or to have the accumulated withholdings applied to the purchase of shares of Extensity common stock on the accelerated exercise date in accordance with the plan. Extensity will notify the participants of the plan of this change before the new exercise date.

 
Q:  What do I need to do now? (See page 68)

A:  You should carefully read this document, including its annexes, and consider how the merger will affect you. You should then indicate on your proxy card how you want to vote and sign and mail it in the enclosed white return envelope marked for this purpose as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders. If you sign and send in your proxy and do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote “FOR” the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger and “FOR” the adjournment proposal. If you abstain or if you fail to sign and return a proxy, it will have the effect of a “no” vote on the merger and on the adjournment proposal (unless, in the case of the adjournment proposal only, more than 25 percent of the shares of Extensity common stock outstanding on the record date are voted “for” the proposal, in which case neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will affect the outcome on that proposal).

You should also carefully follow the procedure for electing to receive cash or Geac common shares in the merger described in the following paragraphs and on page 68.

 
Q:  How do I elect to receive cash, Geac common shares or both in the merger? (See page 68)

A:  Whether or not you vote at Extensity’s special meeting of stockholders, in order to elect the form of consideration you will receive in the merger, you should complete and separately return the election form, together with your stock certificates, to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the exchange agent, in the enclosed brown envelope, according to the instructions accompanying the form. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should follow your broker’s instructions. If you fail to make a timely or proper election, you will receive cash for all of your shares of Extensity common stock.

Please read the instructions accompanying the proxy card and the election form carefully. DO NOT return your proxy card and your election form in the same envelope.

 
Q:  If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me? (See page 47)

A:  Brokers cannot vote your shares on the merger proposal or the adjournment proposal without instructions from you on how to vote. Therefore, it is important that you follow the directions provided by your broker about how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you fail to provide your broker with instructions, that will have the same effect as your voting against the merger proposal, but will have no effect on the adjournment proposal.

 
Q:  What do I do if I want to change my vote? (See page 46)

A:  If you want to change your vote, you may do so at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written, dated notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete, date and

2


Table of Contents

submit a new proxy card. Third, you can attend the special meeting and vote in person, but your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change those instructions.

 
Q.  What do I do if I want to revoke or change my election to receive Geac common shares or cash? (See page 69)

A.  If you want to revoke or change your election to receive Geac common shares or cash, you may do so at any time prior to the election deadline, which is 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately before the date of the closing of the merger. You can do this by sending a written notice to the exchange agent indicating your desire to either revoke or change your election. If you are changing your election, this notice should be accompanied by a properly completed and signed election form indicating your changed election. If you revoke your election after you have transmitted to the exchange agent your stock certificates, the exchange agent will return those certificates to you. You will not be able to change or revoke your election following the election deadline. Revocation of an election without making a subsequent valid election means you will receive cash in the merger.

Q: Should I send in my stock certificates with my proxy card? (See page 69)

A:  No. Please DO NOT send your stock certificates with your proxy card. Rather, prior to the election deadline, you should send your Extensity common stock certificates to the exchange agent, together with your completed, signed election form in the enclosed brown envelope. If your shares are held in “street name,” follow your broker’s instructions.

 
Q.  What will I receive in the merger if I fail to make an election to receive Geac common shares or cash or if I revoke my election? (See page 77)

A.  If you fail to make a valid cash election or stock election, or if you revoke your election without making a subsequent valid election, you will receive, in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock held by you, an amount in cash equal to US$1.75, subject to a possible working capital adjustment.

 
Q:  When do you expect the merger to be completed? (See page 65)

A:  We are working toward completing the merger as quickly as possible. We expect to complete the merger on March 3, 2003. Because the merger is subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions we cannot predict the exact timing. For more details, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger,” “— Termination,” and “— Fees and Expenses” beginning on pages 84, 86 and 87.

The Merger (see page 49)

      Geac and Extensity have entered into an agreement and plan of merger, as amended, that provides for the merger of Cage Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Geac, with and into Extensity. Each share of Extensity common stock, except for shares held by stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal rights, will automatically be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the Extensity stockholder, 0.627 of a Geac common share or US$1.75 in cash, subject to adjustment depending on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at the closing (see below). The merger consideration was determined based on arms’ length negotiation between Geac and Extensity. Geac common shares are traded and quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “GAC.”

      The merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A. We encourage you to read it carefully. See the sections of this proxy statement/ prospectus entitled “The Merger” beginning on page 49 and “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 77.

Working Capital Adjustment (see page 66)

      The purchase price payable in the merger is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the amount by which the adjusted working capital of Extensity on the day before the closing of the merger, as defined and determined in the manner specified in the merger agreement and referred to in the merger agreement as the “Extensity WC,” varies from a standard specified in the merger agreement. This standard decreases over time according to a formula provided for in the merger agreement. At the closing of the merger, the purchase price will be adjusted upward or downward if the Extensity WC varies from the working capital standard by more than three percent on that date. For each US$264,000 by which the Extensity WC varies from the working capital standard by more than three percent, the cash price will be adjusted by approximately US$0.01 and the share exchange ratio will be adjusted by approximately 0.004 shares. Notwithstanding any upward adjustment to the purchase price, the maximum number of Geac shares issuable in the merger plus Geac shares issuable under options assumed by Geac in the merger is limited to 17,650,000 shares. Assuming that Extensity stockholders holding an aggregate of 25,199,457 shares of Extensity common stock each elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, and that Geac assumes Extensity options to purchase approximately 911,615 shares of Extensity common stock in the merger, this limit would be reached if the Extensity WC at closing exceeds one hundred and three percent of the working capital standard in effect at the closing by approximately US$3.6 million. There is no comparable limit to the maximum amount of cash payable in the merger.

      The Extensity WC, determined in the manner specified in the merger agreement, was US$31,297,000 million at December 31, 2002. The following table illustrates, at the dates indicated, the change in the US$1.75 cash price and the 0.627 share exchange ratio at various assumed amounts of Extensity WC. The closing dates and Extensity WC amounts presented below have been selected for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as predictions about the probability or timing of the merger, the probable working capital amounts on the dates shown or any other features of the merger. See the section in this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger — Structure of the Merger and Conversion of Extensity Common Stock” beginning on page 65 for a more complete description of the working capital adjustment, including an example of how the share limit discussed above could affect the Geac share exchange ratio. Had the merger been completed on December 31, 2002, there would have been no working capital adjustment. Extensity and Geac will endeavor to make available before the special meeting a calculation of the Extensity WC, determined in the manner specified in the merger agreement

Opinion of Extensity’s Financial Advisor (see page 56)

      In connection with the consideration and approval of the merger by Extensity’s board of directors, Extensity’s financial advisor, Broadview International LLC, delivered to the Extensity board of directors an oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of August 23, 2002, of the aggregate consideration to be received by Extensity stockholders in the merger, based upon and subject to the various considerations described in the opinion. The full text of the written opinion of Broadview International LLC, dated August 23, 2002 is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. You should read the opinion carefully to understand the procedures followed, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in providing the opinion.

      The opinion of Broadview was directed to the Extensity board of directors and does not constitute a recommendation to any Extensity stockholder as to how to vote on the merger, or whether to elect Geac common shares or cash. The opinion also does not address the prices at which Geac’s common shares may be expected to trade before or after the proposed merger.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (see page 84)

      The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including:

  •  the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the stockholders of Extensity;
 
  •  fewer than seven percent of Extensity’s outstanding shares demanding appraisal rights;
 
  •  the absence of notice from any of four specified Extensity executives that they do not intend to remain employed by Extensity pursuant to the employment agreements described elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus;
 
  •  the absence of stop orders, injunctions or other legal or regulatory restraints prohibiting the merger;
 
  •  the listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Geac common shares to be issued to the Extensity stockholders who elect to receive Geac shares and of any additional Geac common shares required to be reserved for issuance in connection with the Extensity options assumed by Geac;
 
  •  the absence of any material adverse effect, as defined in the merger agreement, involving Geac or Extensity;
 
  •  the absence of any material breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of the parties in the merger agreement; and
 
  •  other contractual conditions specified in the merger agreement.

      If the law permits, any condition to the merger may be waived by the party for whose benefit it is included in the agreement. The law does not permit Geac or Extensity to waive conditions relating to stockholder approval, injunctions or court orders.

      The obligation of Geac to consummate the merger under the merger agreement is not contingent on Geac’s obtaining additional financing from any outside source. Geac estimates that, if all Extensity stockholders were to elect to receive cash in the merger, the aggregate amount of such cash consideration

7


Table of Contents

would be approximately CDN$70.9 million. Geac believes that its cash and cash equivalents, and the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of Extensity, will be adequate to finance this potential cash requirement.

Votes Required (see page 47)

      Assuming a quorum is present, adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock outstanding on the record date for the special meeting. Abstentions or broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the adjournment proposal only requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the special meeting, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote thereat. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Non-votes will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether this proposal has been approved. Extensity’s stockholders are entitled to cast one vote per share of Extensity stock owned as of that record date. The holders of 6,305,695 shares of Extensity common stock, or approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock as of the record date, have agreed to vote those shares in favor of adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

Restrictions on Soliciting Alternative Transactions (see page 82)

      Extensity has agreed that it will not initiate or engage in any discussion regarding a prospective business combination of Extensity with any party other than Geac except in limited circumstances. These limited exceptions to this prohibition are intended to enable Extensity’s board to fulfill its fiduciary duties to Extensity’s stockholders. Each of Extensity’s officers, directors and stockholders who signed a voting agreement also agreed not to initiate or engage in any such discussions, except in limited circumstances.

Conduct of Geac and Extensity Before the Merger (see page 81)

      Extensity has agreed that while the merger is pending, it and its subsidiaries will carry on their businesses in the ordinary and usual course. Extensity has also agreed to use all reasonable efforts to preserve its current business organizations, keep available the services of its current officers and other key employees, and preserve its relationships with those persons having business dealings with it. Geac and Extensity have also each agreed that until the earlier of the closing of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement, or unless the other company consents in writing and as contemplated by the merger agreement, it and each of its subsidiaries will conduct its business in compliance with specific restrictions.

U.S. and Canadian Approvals and Regulatory Requirements (see page 71)

      Completion of the merger will require compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the issuance of Geac common shares pursuant to the merger and the solicitation of proxies for the Extensity special stockholders’ meeting and compliance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Canada Business Corporations Act. Except as described in the previous sentence, Geac and Extensity do not expect to be required to make filings with, or receive the approval of antitrust or other governmental authorities in, any foreign jurisdiction.

Termination of the Merger Agreement; Termination Fees (see page 86)

      Geac and Extensity can agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time before completing the merger. Also, either of Geac or Extensity may, without the other’s consent, but subject to limitations, terminate the merger agreement:

  •  if the merger has not been completed on or before March 15, 2003;
 
  •  if approval of the merger by Extensity’s stockholders is not obtained;
 
  •  if an injunction prohibiting or restraining the merger has been issued;

8


Table of Contents

  •  if the other company has breached its representations, warranties or covenants under the merger agreement; or
 
  •  for other reasons described under the heading “The Merger Agreement — Termination” on page 86.

      In certain cases, termination of the merger agreement will require one party to pay the other a termination fee and expenses. See “The Merger Agreement — Fees and Expenses” on page 87.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger (see page 70)

      Geac will account for the merger using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Extensity will be recorded at their fair values as of the date of the merger. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Extensity will be included in Geac’s results of operations from the date of the closing of the merger.

U.S. Restrictions on the Ability of Affiliates of Geac and Extensity to Sell Geac Shares (see page 71)

      For purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, all Geac common shares that an Extensity stockholder receives in connection with the merger will be freely transferable unless the holder is considered an “affiliate” of either Geac or Extensity under the Securities Act. Geac common shares held by affiliates may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares, or an exemption under the Securities Act. In addition, certain Extensity stockholders have agreed to limitations on their ability to sell or transfer any Geac shares they receive in the merger during the period ending eight months after the merger closes. See “The Merger — Interests of Extensity’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” on page 63. As of the record date, these stockholders own, in the aggregate, 6,597,164 shares of Extensity common stock.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights and Corporate Matters (see page 162)

      Current Extensity stockholders who elect to receive Geac shares in the merger will cease to be Extensity stockholders and will become shareholders of Geac. While the rights and privileges of stockholders of a corporation organized under the Canada Business Corporations Act such as Geac are, in many instances, comparable to those of stockholders of a Delaware corporation such as Extensity, there are material differences. These differences arise from differences between the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) and the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) and between the charters and bylaws of Extensity and Geac. These differences include:

  •  the amount of the authorized capital of each of the corporations;
 
  •  the director qualifications imposed by the Canada Business Corporations Act on the Geac directors;
 
  •  the method of filling vacancies on the board of directors;
 
  •  the method and approval thresholds for changes to governing documents of the corporations;
 
  •  the quorum requirements for meetings of shareholders;
 
  •  the timing of the annual meeting of shareholders, the persons entitled to call a special shareholder meeting, who can submit a shareholder proposal and the contents of that proposal;
 
  •  the circumstances for the application of appraisal rights;
 
  •  the circumstances and timing for a shareholder to bring a derivative action;
 
  •  the ability of a corporation to pay dividends and repurchase shares;
 
  •  the standard for fiduciary duties of directors;

9


Table of Contents

  •  the provisions relating to indemnification of directors, the extent of director liability, and
 
  •  the treatment of transactions with interested directors; and
 
  •  the requirements for extraordinary corporate transactions.

      For a discussion of significant differences in the rights of holders of Extensity common stock and the rights of holders of Geac common shares, see “Comparison of Stockholder Rights and Corporate Governance Matters” beginning on page 162.

Directors and Executive Officers of Geac After the Merger

      Geac’s directors and executive officers will not change as a result of the merger.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (see page 72)

      In general, Extensity’s stockholders are expected to have taxable gain or deductible loss for United States federal income tax purposes in the merger regardless of whether they elect to receive cash or Geac common shares in the merger or they receive cash because they exercise statutory appraisal rights. Any Geac common shares that an Extensity stockholder elects to receive in the merger will have a new holding period for capital gain purposes which will commence on the day following the closing of the merger.

      Extensity stockholders should be aware that if less than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac and its subsidiary is paid in cash, there is some risk that the merger might be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States or by a court as a tax-free reorganization rather than as a taxable transaction. If the merger is treated as a tax-free reorganization, an Extensity stockholder will recognize no gain or loss upon conversion of shares of Extensity common stock into Geac common shares, but will recognize gain (but not loss) to the extent that any cash is received in exchange for the Geac common shares. For further information regarding the U.S. tax consequences of the merger, see “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 72.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (see page 75)

      Extensity stockholders who are not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) will generally not be subject to Canadian federal income tax upon the merger or because they exercise statutory appraisal rights. See “The Merger — Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 75.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (see page 63)

      When considering the recommendations of Extensity’s board of directors, you should be aware that certain Extensity directors and officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or are in addition to, yours. These interests include the following:

  •  The directors and executive officers of Extensity have signed lock-up agreements with Geac that restrict their ability to transfer Geac common shares received in the merger (if any) for a period of eight months after the merger closes.
 
  •  Under Extensity’s Executive Change in Control Severance Benefit Plan, each officer of Extensity holding the position of Senior Vice President or higher, including Sharam Sasson, Extensity’s Chairman of the Board, and Robert Spinner, Extensity’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is entitled to severance benefits in the event the employment of such officer is terminated without cause or is constructively terminated one month prior to or twelve months following an acquisition of Extensity, such as the proposed merger.
 
  •  Elizabeth Ireland, Mark Oney, Don Smith and David Yarnold, currently executive officers of Extensity, have each entered into employment agreements with Geac and Extensity which provide for continued employment with Extensity after the merger and, under specified conditions,

10


Table of Contents

  forgiveness of outstanding promissory notes payable to Extensity. Under these agreements, these officers will no longer be entitled to any severance benefits under Extensity’s Executive Change in Control Severance Benefit Plan.
 
  •  Under the merger agreement, Geac has agreed for a period of six years following the completion of the merger to maintain insurance covering those persons who were, as of August 26, 2002, insureds under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by Extensity on that date, as well as any rights to indemnification now existing in favor of the current and former directors and officers of Extensity, against liabilities arising out of any such person’s service as a director or officer of Extensity.
 
  •  All of the 1,916,323 options to purchase Extensity common stock held by Extensity’s directors and executive officers subject to accelerated vesting as a result of the merger have an exercise price that is equal to or greater than US$2.15, which is greater than the recent trading price of Extensity common stock. Extensity common stock has traded between US$1.65 and US$1.83 during the period beginning August 27, 2002, the day after the merger was announced, and ending on February 5, 2003, the record date for the special meeting of Extensity stockholders. Unless exercised, all 1,916,323 of these options will terminate and be cancelled prior to the completion of the merger.

Appraisal Rights (see page 72)

      Under Delaware law, if the merger is completed, Extensity stockholders who do not vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares, provided that they submit a written demand for such an appraisal before the vote on the merger agreement and they otherwise comply with Delaware law as explained in the proxy statement. For an explanation of the procedures for perfecting your appraisal rights, see the section entitled “The Merger — Extensity Stockholders’ Appraisal Rights” on page 72.

Possible Share Repurchase Program

      Geac has announced its intention to consider the adoption of a share repurchase program following the completion of the merger. Geac is precluded by law from commencing any repurchase of shares prior to the completion of the merger. We cannot assure you that Geac’s board of directors will adopt and approve any share repurchase program, or that, if such a program is adopted, any repurchases will be made and what effect, if any, such repurchases will have on Geac’s share price.

Recent Developments — Extensity’s Results of Operations for the Fourth Quarter

      Based on a preliminary analysis of its unaudited results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2002, Extensity estimates that its revenues for the quarter were approximately US$4.8 million, including approximately US$2.0 million in license revenue, approximately US$2.6 million of services and maintenance revenue and approximately US$260,000 of hosted revenue. Extensity estimates that it incurred a net loss of approximately US$2.3 million (or approximately US$0.09 per share) for the quarter. At December 31, 2002, Extensity estimates that its total assets were approximately $41.5 million, total liabilities were approximately $10.5 million and total stockholders’ equity was approximately $31.1 million.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition by Geac by way of the merger described herein of all of the outstanding common shares of Extensity. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with US GAAP and presented in Canadian dollars and is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes thereto which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus, which give effect to the merger using the purchase method of accounting.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of October 31, 2002 gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on October 31, 2002. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information is based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Geac as of October 31, 2002 and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Extensity as of September 30, 2002, both included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the year ended April 30, 2002 and the six months ended October 31, 2002 reflect the merger as if it had occurred on May 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the year ended April 30, 2002 is based on the audited consolidated statement of operations of Geac for the year ended April 30, 2002 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus and on the results of operations of Extensity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 (which are derived from Extensity’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, less the unaudited results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001, plus the unaudited results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002).

      The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the six months ended October 31, 2002 is based on the unaudited consolidated interim statement of operations of Geac for the six months ended October 31, 2002 included in this proxy statement/ prospectus and the unaudited consolidated statement of operations information of Extensity for the six months ended September 30, 2002 the sum of which is derived from Extensity’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002.

      The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations of future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Geac and Extensity been a single entity during the periods presented. We have presented this summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information on alternative bases; first, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive cash in the merger, and second, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger. In each case, we have assumed that no working capital adjustment is made. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are based on estimates and assumptions that Geac believes are reasonable. These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments, on both an “all cash” and an “all shares” basis, affect the pro forma statement of operations by increasing pro forma combined net income by CDN$12.9 million for fiscal 2002 and by CDN$4.4 million for the six months ended October 31, 2002. The pro forma adjustments affect the pro forma balance sheet by increasing both the pro forma combined assets and the pro forma combined liabilities, preferred stock and shareholders’ equity by CDN$33.5 million on an “all cash” basis and $39.4 million on an “all shares” basis. For an explanation of the basis of presentation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and an explanation of the pro forma adjustments, see notes 2 and 3 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the respective consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the sections

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

      The following table presents in Canadian dollars (i) for Geac, its historical net income per share for fiscal year 2002 and the six months ended October 31, 2002 and book value per share as of October 31, 2002 in comparison with its pro forma net income and pro forma book value per share; and (ii) for Extensity, its historical loss per share for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2002 and the six months ended September 30, 2002 and book value per share as of September 30, 2002 in comparison with its pro forma net income per equivalent share and pro forma book value per equivalent share. The comparative per share data is provided on alternative bases: first, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive cash in the merger, and second, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger. In each case, we have assumed that no working capital adjustment is made. Extensity’s pro forma net income per equivalent share and pro forma book value per equivalent share, on both an “all cash” and “all shares” basis, are equal to the pro forma net income per share and pro forma book value per share of Geac on the same basis, multiplied by 0.627, the fraction of a Geac common share to be issued in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock, assuming no working capital adjustment. You should read this information along with the selected historical consolidated financial data of Geac and Extensity, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Geac, and the audited consolidated financial statements of Geac and Extensity and the notes thereto included in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

      Geac’s historical book value per common share was calculated by dividing its shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding as of October 31, 2002. Extensity’s historical book value per common share was calculated by dividing its stockholders’ equity by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2002. Geac’s pro forma book value per share was computed by dividing its pro forma shareholders’ equity giving effect to the merger by the pro forma number of common shares which would have been outstanding had the merger been completed as of the balance sheet date.

      Neither Geac nor Extensity has declared or paid any cash dividends on its stock within the past five years. Geac does not expect to pay dividends in the immediate future. However the Board of Directors of Geac may decide to pay dividends in the future on Geac common shares should operational circumstances permit, including earnings, financial requirements and business considerations existing at such future time. See “Comparative Per Share Market Price, Dividend and Exchange Rate Data.”

Recent Share Price Data

      The table below presents the per share closing prices of Geac common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Extensity common stock on the Nasdaq National Market as of the dates specified. August 26, 2002 was the last trading day before announcement of the merger agreement. The table also sets forth the equivalent per share price for Extensity common stock. The Extensity equivalent price per share is an amount, expressed in United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the applicable date, equal to the closing price of one Geac common share on the applicable date, multiplied by 0.627, which is the fraction of a Geac common share to be issued in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock whose holder elects to receive Geac common shares, assuming no working capital adjustment. Extensity stockholders who elect to receive cash for their Extensity shares in the merger will receive an amount equal to US$1.75 for each Extensity share, assuming no working capital adjustment. Changes in the market price of Geac’s common shares or Extensity common stock will not affect the amount of cash or the number of Geac common shares to be received by an Extensity stockholder.

      The cash consideration of US$1.75 per share that Geac will pay in the merger represents a premium of 84% over the last sale price per share of Extensity’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed merger. Based on the last sale price per share of the Geac common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on February 4, 2003 of CDN $4.16, assuming no working capital adjustment and a merger ratio of 0.627, and at the currency exchange rate in effect on that date, the stock consideration payable by Geac in the merger represents a premium of 81% over the last sale price per share of Extensity’s common stock immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed merger. Since the announcement of the proposed merger, Extensity’s common stock has traded at a slight discount to the US$1.75 cash merger price. Subject to the assumptions stated above, the merger consideration payable by Geac would represent a premium of 1%, in the case of the US$1.75 cash merger price, and no premium, in the case of the 0.627 share exchange ratio, compared with the last sale price per share of Extensity’s common stock on February 4, 2003.

      Extensity stockholders are advised to obtain current market quotations for Geac common shares and Extensity common stock and current currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar. No assurance can be given as to the market prices of Geac common shares or currency exchange rate or Extensity stock or currency exchange rate at any time before the merger or the market price of Geac common shares at any time after merger. The exchange ratio will not be adjusted to compensate Extensity’s stockholders for decreases in the market price of Geac common shares or currency exchange rate, whether they occur before or after the merger closes. Similarly, the exchange ratio will not be adjusted to compensate Geac for any increases in the market price of Geac common shares.

Exchange Rate Data

      The Geac common shares are quoted and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar will cause the value of the Geac common shares received by any Extensity stockholder who makes a stock election to change. The following table sets forth, for each period indicated, the high and low exchange rates for one Canadian dollar expressed in United States dollars, the average of such exchange rates during such period, and the exchange rate at the end of such period, based upon the Bank of Canada Noon Buying Rate:

Dividends

      Neither Geac nor Extensity has declared or paid any cash dividends on its stock within the past five years. Geac does not expect to pay dividends in the immediate future. However the Board of Directors of Geac may decide to pay dividends in the future on Geac common shares should operational circumstances permit, including earnings, financial requirements and business considerations existing at such future time. Geac currently expects that future dividends, if any, would be paid in Canadian dollars.

RISK FACTORS

      The merger involves a high degree of risk. Extensity stockholders who make a stock election will be choosing to invest in Geac common shares. An investment in Geac shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider all the following risk factors relating to the proposed merger, the combined company, Geac and Extensity in deciding whether to vote in favor of the merger or whether to elect to receive cash or Geac common shares in the merger.

Risks Related to the Merger

 
There may be substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating the operations of Geac and Extensity, which could damage the combined company’s business and prospects, and which could adversely affect the value of the Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger.

      Integrating Geac and Extensity will be a complex, time consuming and expensive process which could disrupt the combined company’s revenues and operations and damage its future prospects if not completed in an efficient manner. Some of the potential difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating Geac and Extensity include:

  •  distraction of management from the business of the combined company;
 
  •  problems with compatibility of business cultures;
 
  •  unanticipated difficulties in integrating the products and technologies of the two companies;
 
  •  customer perception of an adverse change in service standards, business focus, billing practices or product and service offerings;
 
  •  costs and inefficiencies in delivering products and services to the customers of the combined company;
 
  •  problems in successfully coordinating the research and development efforts of the combined company;
 
  •  difficulty integrating sales, support and product marketing;
 
  •  costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures, including financial accounting and enterprise resource planning systems; and
 
  •  inability to retain and integrate key management, research and development, technical sales and customer support personnel.

      Any disruption of the combined company’s revenues and operations or damage to its prospects, as perceived by investors, could adversely affect the value of the Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger.

 
Difficulties in integrating Geac and Extensity may prevent the combined company from realizing the strategic benefits of the merger, which could adversely affect the value of the Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger.

      Geac and Extensity expect that the combination of the two companies should enable the combined company to extend the functionality of its enterprise application suite and better meet the needs of its enterprise customers worldwide. Until the merger, Geac and Extensity will operate independently, each with its own business, business culture, customers, employees and systems. In order for the combined company to realize the strategic benefits from the merger, the companies must operate as a combined organization after the merger using common:

  •  sales, marketing, service and support organizations;
 
  •  information communication systems;

24


Table of Contents

  •  operating procedures;
 
  •  financial controls; and
 
  •  human resource practices, including benefit, training and professional development programs.

      The merger will not achieve its anticipated benefits unless Geac successfully combines the operations of Extensity with those of Geac and integrates the two companies’ products in a timely manner. Any one or all of the potential difficulties, costs or delays identified above could cause the loss of customers, employees or business partners, increased operating costs or poorer than anticipated financial performance, which could in turn adversely affect the value of the Geac common shares you may receive in the merger.

 
Uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of the merger, or whether it will be completed at all, may cause customers, suppliers and channel partners to delay or defer doing business with Geac and Extensity, which could disrupt their respective operations and result in a loss of, or delay in generating, revenues.

      The merger will happen only if stated conditions are met, or in certain cases waived, including approval of the merger by Extensity’s stockholders and the absence of any material adverse change in the business of Extensity or Geac. Many of the conditions are outside the control of Extensity and Geac. Both parties also have stated rights to terminate the merger agreement. Accordingly, there may be uncertainty regarding the timing of the completion of the merger, or whether it will be completed at all. This uncertainty may cause customers and suppliers to delay or defer doing business with Extensity or Geac, which could negatively affect their respective businesses. Customers and suppliers may also seek to change existing agreements with Extensity or Geac as a result of the proposed merger. Any delay or deferral of those decisions or changes in existing agreements could have a material adverse effect on the respective businesses of Extensity and Geac, regardless of whether the merger is ultimately completed.

 
Extensity stockholders will receive a fixed number of Geac common shares or a fixed amount of cash despite changes in market value of Extensity common stock or Geac common shares, and the Canadian dollar value of Geac common shares received in the merger may increase or decrease after Extensity stockholders submit their proxies and make their elections.

      Each Extensity stockholder will be able to elect to receive, upon the completion of the merger, US$1.75 in cash or 0.627 of a Geac common share for each share of Extensity common stock, subject to adjustment depending on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at the closing. Shares of Extensity common stock with respect to which a stock election is made are referred to as “stock election shares,” and shares with respect to which a cash election is made are referred to as “cash election shares.” There will be no adjustment for changes in the market price of either the Extensity common stock or the Geac common shares. In addition, neither Extensity nor Geac may terminate the merger agreement, nor may Extensity withdraw the recommendation of its board of directors or resolicit the vote of its stockholders, solely because of changes in the market price of the Extensity common stock or the Geac common shares. Accordingly, the value of each Geac common share that Extensity stockholders who make a stock election will receive upon the merger’s completion will depend on the market value of Geac common shares when the merger is completed and may decrease from the date you submit your proxy and make your election. The market price of Geac common shares is by nature subject to the general price fluctuations in the market for publicly traded equity securities and has experienced significant volatility. In addition, the market price of the common shares of Geac and the common stock of Extensity may decline as a result of one or more of the risks described in this section. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar could affect the value, in United States dollars, of any Geac common shares you receive in the merger. Geac and Extensity urge you to obtain current market quotations for Geac common shares and Extensity common stock and current currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar. Geac cannot predict or give any assurances as to the market price of Geac common shares or their value in United States dollars at any time before or after the

25

completion of the merger. See the section entitled “Comparative Per Share Market Price, Dividend and Exchange Rate Data” for additional historical exchange rate and trading information.
 
The market price of Geac common shares may decline as a result of the merger, and Extensity stockholders who elect to receive Geac common shares may suffer a loss in the value of their investment.

      The market price of Geac common shares may decline as a result of the merger for various reasons, including if:

  •  the integration of Geac and Extensity is unsuccessful;
 
  •  Geac does not achieve or is perceived not to have achieved the expected benefits of the merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or investors;
 
  •  the combination of the two companies’ businesses does not result in increased per-share earnings of Geac following the merger, taking into consideration the greater number of Geac common shares that will be outstanding as a result of the merger;
 
  •  sales of Geac common shares by former Extensity stockholders, including possible sales by those Extensity executive officers and directors who have signed lock-up agreements, as the restrictions in those agreements expire, have a dampening effect on the market for Geac’s common shares; or
 
  •  the effect of the merger on Geac’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts or investors.

      The market price of the Geac common shares could also decline as a result of unforeseen factors related to the merger or other factors described in this section.

 
The Geac common shares you may elect to receive are not traded in any established public trading market in the United States, which could result in less research coverage, trading volume and liquidity than would be the case if the Geac common shares were listed or traded in the United States.

      It is a condition to the closing of the merger that the Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. They are not, and currently are not expected by Geac to be, listed or traded on any stock exchange, automated quotation system or other established public trading market in the United States. An Extensity stockholder who has elected to receive Geac common shares in the merger and desires to sell them will be able to do so only on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Research analysts and institutional investors in the United States may be more inclined to follow or invest in stocks that are traded on exchanges or markets in the United States. As a result, Geac’s shares may receive less research coverage and may consequently experience lower trading volume and liquidity than might have been the case if the Geac common shares had been listed or traded on an exchange or other established trading market in the United States. These factors could limit the appreciation of any Geac common shares that Extensity stockholders receive in the merger.

 
If less than 20% of the merger consideration is paid in cash, the merger might constitute a tax-free reorganization.

      Geac’s special tax counsel is of the opinion that if more than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac and its subsidiary is paid in cash, the merger will constitute a taxable transaction. If the merger constitutes a taxable transaction, Extensity stockholders will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between their adjusted tax basis in the shares of Extensity common stock they exchange for cash or Geac common shares in the merger and the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any Geac common shares received. Geac’s special tax counsel is of the opinion that if less than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac and its subsidiary is paid in cash, the transaction should constitute a taxable transaction. That means that in the opinion of Geac’s special tax counsel, there is some risk that the merger might be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States or by a court as a tax-free reorganization. If the merger is treated as a tax-free reorganization, an Extensity stockholder will

26


Table of Contents

recognize no gain or loss upon conversion of shares of Extensity common stock into Geac common shares, but will recognize gain (but not loss) to the extent that any cash is received in exchange for the Geac common shares.
 
Failure to retain key employees could diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger.

      The success of the merger will depend in part on the retention of personnel who are critical to the business and operations of the combined company due to, for example, their technical skills or management expertise. Employees may experience uncertainty about their future role with Geac and Extensity. Geac and Extensity also have different corporate cultures, and some Geac and Extensity employees may not want to work for the combined company. In addition, competitors may recruit employees during the pendency of the merger and Geac’s subsequent integration of Extensity, as commonly occurs in high technology mergers. If Geac and Extensity are unable to retain personnel who are critical to the successful integration and future operation of the companies, Geac and Extensity could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how, and unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs. In addition, the loss of key personnel could diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger. It is a condition to Geac’s obligation to complete the merger, which can be waived by Geac, that none of Elizabeth Ireland, Extensity’s Vice President of Marketing, Mark Oney, Extensity’s Vice President of Engineering, Donald Smith, Extensity’s Vice President of Hosted Operations and Customer Advocacy and David Yarnold, Extensity’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales has given notice of his or her intention not to remain employed by Extensity after the merger pursuant to employment agreements entered into by each of them at the time the merger agreement was signed. If one or more of these executives should resign or indicate his or her intention to do so and Geac should nonetheless proceed to complete the merger, the unavailability of the departing executive or executives could adversely affect the business of the combined company.

 
The merger may go forward in certain circumstances even if Geac or Extensity experiences an adverse effect on its business which negatively affects the value of the Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger.

      In general, either party can refuse to complete the merger if a material adverse effect, as defined in the merger agreement, occurs with respect to the other party before the closing. However, neither party may refuse to complete the merger on that basis if the adverse effect results from:

  •  announcement or pendency of the merger;
 
  •  adverse changes in the industries in which the relevant company competes or the U.S. or Canadian economy as a whole;
 
  •  adverse changes or effects arising from acts of terrorism or war;
 
  •  any change in the trading price of the common stock of the other party;
 
  •  the entry of a competitor into the industries in which Geac or Extensity competes;
 
  •  adverse changes or effects arising from or relating to any change in law;
 
  •  any effect relating to compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, the merger agreement;
 
  •  effect of depreciation of depreciable assets in accordance with US GAAP; or
 
  •  any changes in any of the elements used to calculate the working capital adjustment.

      If any of the adverse effects described above occurs, whether before or after your election to receive either cash or stock in the merger or the Extensity stockholder meeting, Geac and Extensity must still complete the merger even though Geac’s stock price may suffer as a result of the adverse effect. This could reduce the value of the Geac common shares you may have elected to receive in the merger.

Table of Contents

 
If governmental authorities challenge the merger, the merger may not occur or could be delayed or the governmental authorities could impose conditions to completion of the merger that might make the benefits of the merger more difficult to obtain.

      Under certain circumstances, the merger may be subject to the reporting obligations and statutory waiting period applicable to transactions falling within the jurisdiction of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Because the applicability of this Act is based in part on the value of the Geac common shares that may constitute merger consideration during the 45-day period preceding the closing of the merger, Geac and Extensity will closely monitor their respective trading prices during the period following the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus to Extensity’s stockholders and prior to the closing of the merger. If the value of the merger consideration exceeds the statutory threshold throughout this 45-day period, each of Geac and Extensity may be subject to the reporting obligations and statutory waiting period under this Act. The value of the merger consideration currently is below the Hart-Scott-Rodino reporting threshold, and if it remains or falls below the threshold at any time during the 45-day period preceding the close of the merger, as is the expectation of Geac and Extensity, no Hart-Scott-Rodino notification or waiting period will be required. However, no assurance can be given that the merger will not be subject to these reporting obligations and statutory waiting periods under this Act. In addition, the Department of Justice, state antitrust authorities or the antitrust authorities of another country could attempt to prevent the merger from occurring before or after the expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, or could place conditions on their approval of the merger that may delay the merger, increase the combined company’s operating costs, require it to discontinue or dispose of some of its products or businesses or otherwise limit its future actions. Any such conditions could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of the combined company.

 
The costs of the merger will be substantial, which could affect the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company.

      Geac and Extensity expect to incur aggregate transaction costs and other one-time charges of between US$5.8 million and US$6.2 million in connection with the merger. These charges include estimated direct transaction costs of approximately US$4.0 million to be incurred by Geac and approximately US$1.8 million to be incurred by Extensity. Direct transaction costs principally consist of investment banking, accounting, legal and consulting fees. If the benefits of the merger do not exceed the costs associated with the merger, the combined company’s financial condition and its results of operations, including earnings per share, could suffer, and the market price of the combined company’s common shares could decline.

 
The rights of holders of Extensity common stock who make a stock election will change as a result of the merger, and Extensity stockholders will have less control over corporate actions proposed by Geac than they would have had over corporate actions proposed by Extensity.

      After the merger, stockholders of Extensity, a Delaware corporation, who make a stock election will become shareholders of Geac, a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act, and their rights will be governed by the laws of Canada and Geac’s charter and bylaws, which are different from Delaware law and Extensity’s charter and bylaws. In addition, Extensity stockholders who make a stock election will hold a much smaller percentage of Geac’s outstanding common shares than they held of Extensity’s outstanding common stock. As a result of these differences, Extensity stockholders will have less control over corporate actions proposed to be taken by Geac than they would have had over corporate actions proposed to be taken by Extensity. For more information, see “Comparison of Stockholder Rights and Corporate Governance Matters.”

 
Geac’s Shareholder Protection Rights Plan may discourage takeover attempts or make it less likely that you will receive a premium for any Geac common shares you elect to receive in the merger in connection with a future acquisition of Geac.

      Geac has adopted a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan which authorizes the issuance of one right for each Geac common share. The rights represent the right to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions

28


Table of Contents

of the Rights Plan, Geac common shares that would have the effect of diluting the interests of potential acquirors. The Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect and discourage takeover attempts not first approved by Geac’s Board of Directors. This may make it harder for you to receive a premium for any Geac common shares you acquire in the merger in connection with a future acquisition of Geac. Extensity does not have a similar rights plan. See “Geac Shareholder Protection Rights Plan.”
 
Failure to complete the merger could cause Geac’s share price and Extensity’s stock price to decline and could harm Geac’s and Extensity’s business and operating results.

      The merger agreement contains conditions which must be fulfilled or waived in order that one or both of the parties be obligated to complete the merger. In addition, the merger agreement may be terminated by either Geac or Extensity under specified circumstances. If the merger is not completed for any reason, Geac and Extensity may each be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

  •  the market price of Geac common shares and Extensity common stock may decline to the extent that the relevant current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed;
 
  •  many costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and financial printing fees, have to be paid regardless of whether the merger is completed; and
 
  •  there may be substantial disruption to the businesses of Geac and Extensity and distraction of their workforces and management teams.

 
Certain officers and directors of Extensity will receive benefits that may have influenced them to support or approve the merger.

      Some of the directors and officers of Extensity have interests in the merger that are different from the interests of the stockholders of Extensity, and that may have influenced them in their decisions to support or approve the merger. For example, each of Elizabeth Ireland, Extensity’s Vice President of Marketing, Mark Oney, Extensity’s Vice President of Engineering, Donald Smith, Extensity’s Vice President of Hosted Operations and Customer Advocacy and David Yarnold, Extensity’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales, has entered into an employment agreement which provides each of these four executives with employment with Extensity following the merger. Extensity’s other officers and directors will receive other benefits, including continuation by Geac of certain insurance coverage and indemnification provisions. See the section entitled “The Merger — Interests of Extensity’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger” for further information concerning these interests.

Risks Related to Geac’s Historical Business

 
Geac has a history of recent losses and may not maintain profitability in the future. The value of any Geac common shares you may elect to receive in the merger may fall if Geac fails to maintain profitability or generate sufficient cash from operations.

      Geac generated net income of CDN$42.1 million in fiscal 2002. However, Geac incurred net losses of CDN$234.8 million in fiscal 2001. As a result of losses, Geac had an accumulated deficit of CDN$129.6 million at April 30, 2002. As Geac grows its business, Geac expects operating expenses and capital expenditures to increase significantly and as a result, Geac will need to generate significant revenue to maintain profitability. Geac may not be able to sustain or increase profitability or cash flows from operations on a quarterly or annual basis in the future, and could incur losses in future periods. If Geac’s revenues continue to decline as they have in each of its two most recent fiscal years, its operating results could be seriously impaired because many of its expenses are fixed and cannot be easily or quickly reduced. A failure to maintain profitability could materially and adversely affect Geac’s business.

      Geac recorded net restructuring and other unusual items of CDN$45.9 million in fiscal 2002 and CDN$295.9 million in fiscal 2001, related to significant write-downs of goodwill and intangible assets as well as to restructuring efforts intended to reduce costs and more efficiently organize Geac’s operations.

29


Table of Contents

Geac periodically reviews the value of acquired intangibles and goodwill to determine whether any impairment exists and could write-down a portion of its intangible assets and goodwill as part of any such future review. Geac also periodically reviews opportunities to more efficiently organize its operations, and may record further restructuring charges in connection with any such reorganization. Any write down of intangible assets or goodwill or restructuring charges in the future could materially and adversely affect Geac’s results of operations.
 
Geac’s revenues and operating results fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and the value of the Geac common shares could fall if its revenues or operating results are below the expectations of analysts or investors.

      Many factors have caused and may in the future cause Geac’s revenue and operating results to fluctuate significantly. Some of these factors are:

  •  the timing of significant orders, delivery and implementation of our products;
 
  •  the gain or loss of any significant customer;
 
  •  the number, timing and significance of new product announcements and releases by Geac or its competitors;
 
  •  Geac’s ability to acquire or develop (independently or through strategic relationships with third parties), introduce and market new and enhanced versions of its products on a timely basis;
 
  •  possible delays in the shipment of new products and purchasing delays of current products as Geac’s customers anticipate new product releases;
 
  •  order cancellations and shipment rescheduling or delays;
 
  •  patterns of capital spending and changes in budgeting cycles by Geac’s customers;
 
  •  market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of Geac’s products;
 
  •  changes in the pricing and the mix of products and services Geac sells;
 
  •  seasonal variations in Geac’s sales cycle (such as lower sales levels typically experienced by its European operations during summer months);
 
  •  the level of product and price competition;
 
  •  changes in operating expenses;
 
  •  exchange rate fluctuations;
 
  •  the timing of any acquisitions and related costs; and
 
  •  changes in personnel and related costs.

      In addition, Geac expects that a substantial portion of its revenue will continue to be derived from renewals of maintenance contracts from customers of its software applications. These maintenance contracts typically expire on an annual basis, and the timing of cash collections of related revenues varies from quarter to quarter. In addition, Geac’s new license revenue and results of operations may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly and annual basis in the future, as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of its control. A sale of a new license generally requires a customer to make a purchase decision that involves a significant commitment of capital. As a result, the sales cycle associated with the new license revenue will vary substantially and will be subject to a number of factors, including customers’ budgetary constraints, timing of budget cycles and concerns about the pricing or introduction of new products by Geac or its competitors.

      If Geac’s revenues or operating results fall below the expectations of financial analysts or investors, the value of Geac’s common shares could fall. As a result of the foregoing factors and the other factors described in this section, Geac believes that period-to-period comparisons of its revenue and operating

30

results are not necessarily meaningful. You should not rely on these comparisons to predict Geac’s future performance.
 
Geac experiences customer attrition, which could affect its revenues more adversely than Geac expects, and Geac may be unable to adapt quickly to such attrition. Any significant reduction in revenues as a result of attrition may result in a decrease in the trading price of Geac’s common shares.

      Geac expects that a substantial portion of its revenue will continue to be derived from renewals of annual maintenance contracts with customers of its software applications, and, to a lesser extent, from professional services engagements for these customers. Attrition in Geac’s customer base has historically taken place, and continues to take place, when existing customers elect not to renew their maintenance contracts and cease purchasing professional services from Geac. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including a customer’s decision to replace Geac’s product with that of a competing vendor, to purchase maintenance or consulting services from a third-party service provider or to forgo maintenance altogether. It can also occur when a customer is acquired or ceases operations.

      To date, Geac has experienced relatively predictable and stable customer attrition, and has been able in part to replace the revenue lost through attrition with new revenue from maintenance contracts and professional services associated with new license sales and from maintenance contract price increases. However, any factors that adversely affect the ability of Geac’s installed systems to compete with those available from others, such as availability from competitors of products offering more advanced product architecture, superior functionality or performance or lower prices, or factors that reduce demand for Geac’s maintenance and professional services, such as intensifying price competition, could lead to increased rates of customer attrition. Should the rate of customer attrition exceed Geac’s expectations, Geac may be unable to replace the lost revenue, or to reduce its costs, sufficiently or in a timely enough fashion to maintain profitability. In such circumstances, higher than expected customer attrition could have a material adverse effect on Geac’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 
Geac may be unable to realize its growth strategy if it is unable to identify other suitable acquisition opportunities.

      Geac believes that its future success depends upon its ability to make additional acquisitions to offset the effect of customer attrition. If Geac cannot make future acquisitions, its revenues and stock price will likely decline. Geac cannot be certain that it will be able to identify additional suitable acquisition candidates available for purchase at reasonable prices, to consummate any acquisition, or to successfully integrate any acquired business into its operations. When evaluating an acquisition opportunity, Geac cannot assure you that it will correctly identify the risks and costs inherent in the business that it is acquiring. In addition, to achieve desired growth rates as Geac becomes larger, acquisition candidates are likely to be larger and may include public companies. The acquisition of a public company, such as Geac’s acquisition of JBA Holdings plc, or JBA, in fiscal 2000, may involve additional risks, including the potential for lack of recourse against public shareholders for undisclosed material liabilities of the acquired business. If Geac were to proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration consisted of cash, a substantial portion of its available cash resources could be used to consummate the acquisitions.

 
Geac’s inability to successfully integrate other businesses that it acquires may disrupt its operations or otherwise have a negative impact on its business.

      Geac made two acquisitions during fiscal 2001, and no acquisitions during fiscal 2002. Geac made numerous acquisitions prior to fiscal 2001, including eleven during fiscal 2000. Geac is frequently in formal or informal discussions with potential acquisition candidates, and may make additional acquisitions of, or large investments in, other businesses that offer products, services, and technologies that Geac believes would complement its products and services. Integration of Geac’s completed acquisitions and any future acquisitions, including Extensity, involves a number of special risks, including: diversion of management’s attention from, and disruption of, Geac’s on-going business; failure to successfully integrate the personnel,

31


Table of Contents

information systems, technology and operations of the acquired business; failure to maximize the potential financial and strategic benefits of the transaction; failure to realize the expected synergies from the combined company; possible impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new businesses and management personnel; impairment of assets related to resulting goodwill, and reductions in future operating results from amortization of intangible assets; and unanticipated adverse events, circumstances or legal liabilities associated with the transaction or the acquired business.

      Moreover, mergers or acquisitions of technology companies are generally risky and often fail to deliver the return on investment that acquirers expect. Such failures can result from a number of factors, including rapid changes in technology, in the markets in which the combining companies compete, and in demand for their products and services; difficulties in integrating the businesses and personnel of the acquired company; failure to achieve expected revenue or cost synergies; unanticipated costs or liabilities; and other factors. In September 1999, Geac acquired JBA for CDN$261.9 million, consisting of CDN$228.2 million of cash and CDN$33.7 million of restructuring provisions. In fiscal 2001, Geac recorded unusual charges of CDN$295.9 million, which included CDN$229.1 million related to the write-down of intangible assets and goodwill acquired in the JBA transaction. If Geac is unable to integrate future acquisitions successfully, its business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 
The loss, cancellation or delay of orders by Geac’s customers could harm its business.

      The purchase of some of Geac’s products, particularly its EAS products, and of its related professional services may involve a significant commitment of resources and costs for Geac’s customers. As a result, Geac’s sales process involves a lengthy evaluation and product qualification process that may require significant capital expenditures. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with the license of Geac’s products, renewal of maintenance agreements, and sale of related professional services varies substantially from contract to contract and customer to customer. The sales cycles for Geac’s products vary by product and application, and may range up to a year or more for large, complex installations. Geac may experience delays over which it has no control and which further extend that period. During the process, Geac may devote significant time and resources to a prospective customer, including costs associated with multiple site visits, product demonstrations, and feasibility studies. If Geac is unsuccessful in generating offsetting revenues during these sales cycles, its revenues and earnings could be substantially reduced, or it could experience a large loss. Any significant or ongoing failure to ultimately achieve sales as a result of Geac’s efforts, or any delays or difficulties in the implementation process for any given customer, could have a negative impact on Geac’s revenues and results of operations.

 
Demand for Geac’s products and services fluctuates rapidly and unpredictably, which makes it difficult to manage Geac’s business efficiently and can reduce its gross margins, profitability and market share.

      Geac depends upon the capital spending budgets of its customers. World economic conditions have in the past adversely affected Geac’s licensing and maintenance revenue. If economic or other conditions reduce Geac’s customers’ capital spending levels, its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected. There has been a severe worldwide downturn in information technology spending over the last few years, and any growth in Geac’s markets will depend on a general recovery in information technology spending. Growth prospects for Geac’s existing businesses are uncertain, with expansion in the industry also being highly dependent on users of enterprise applications systems enhancing their current systems through Web-based applications and new functionality that is complementary to that of their existing systems. Currently, Geac believes that the market for enterprise resource planning software is weak, and it may continue to be weak for the foreseeable future. Geac believes that the continued weakness in its revenues from sales of its enterprise applications systems is consistent with the experience of other participants in its industry.

      In addition, the purchase and implementation of Geac’s products can constitute a major portion of Geac’s customers’ overall corporate services budget, and the amount customers are willing to invest in acquiring and implementing such products has tended to vary in response to economic or financial crises or

32


Table of Contents

other business conditions. Prolongation of the current economic downturn or other difficulty in the economies where Geac licenses its products, including North America, the United Kingdom, and other European countries, could have a material adverse affect on its business, financial position, operating results, or cash flows. In particular, Geac’s financial position may be significantly adversely affected by a recession or prolonged economic slowdown in any of the economies where Geac derives a substantial portion of its revenue.
 
Geac faces significant competition from other providers of enterprise applications software and systems, which may reduce its market share or limit the prices it can charge for its systems and services.

      The enterprise resource planning market in which Geac competes is maturing and is deeply penetrated by large independent software suppliers, such as SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft, and a large number of other suppliers that sell to small to mid-sized customers. As a result, competition is intense, and significant pricing pressure exists. The intensity of this competition increases as demand for products and services such as those offered by Geac weakens. To maintain and to improve its competitive position, Geac must continue to develop and to introduce, in a timely and cost effective manner, new products, product features, and services. In addition, Geac expects that a substantial portion of its revenue will continue to be derived from renewals of annual maintenance contracts with customers of its software applications. Although Geac has experienced relatively stable and predictable attrition relating to these contracts, increased competition could significantly reduce the need for its maintenance services, as customers could either decide to replace Geac’s software applications with a competitor’s applications or to enter into a maintenance contract with a third party to service its software.

      Geac anticipates additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the market for its products and as new products and technologies are introduced. For example, companies that historically have not competed in the enterprise resource planning systems market could introduce new enterprise applications based on newer product architectures that could provide for functionality similar to that of Geac’s products that are based on older technology. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish co-operative relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of Geac’s prospective customers. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. This competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share. In addition, variances or slowdowns in Geac’s new licensing revenue may negatively impact its current and future revenue from services and maintenance, since such services and maintenance revenues typically lag behind license fee revenue.

 
Geac’s competitors may have advantages over Geac that may inhibit its ability to compete effectively.

      Many of Geac’s competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers than does Geac. The products of some of Geac’s competitors are based on more advanced product architectures, or offer performance advantages compared with Geac’s more mature EAS products. Geac’s competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or may devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products than Geac is able to do. Many competitive factors affect the market for Geac’s products and its ability to earn maintenance, professional services and new license revenue. Some of these factors are: vendor and product reputation; expertise and experience in implementing products in a particular customer’s industry sector; cost of ownership; ease and speed of implementation; customer support; product architecture, quality, price and performance; product performance attributes such as flexibility, scalability, compatibility, functionality and ease of use; and vendor financial stability. Geac’s inability to compete effectively based on any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Not all of Geac’s existing products compete equally well with respect to each of these factors. To the extent that Geac concludes that one or more of its existing

33


Table of Contents

products is unable to compete effectively, it may reduce the amount of product development, sales and marketing and other resources that it devotes to that product, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and a more rapid than anticipated rate of customer attrition and decline in revenues from that product, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Geac’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Geac’s rapid growth through acquisitions has placed significant demands on Geac’s management resources and operational infrastructure. Any failure to manage growth effectively may lead to a disruption in Geac’s operations and a resulting decline in profitability.

      In recent years, Geac has experienced substantial growth, primarily through acquisitions, which have significantly expanded its operations. Geac has made 34 acquisitions between May 1, 1995, and October 31, 2002, and plans to continue to make acquisitions in the future. This growth and expansion have placed, and will continue to place, a significant demand on Geac’s management resources. To manage growth effectively, Geac must maintain a high level of quality, efficiency and performance and must continue to enhance its operational, financial, and management systems and to attract, to train, to motivate and to manage employees. Geac may not be able to effectively manage this expansion, and any failure to do so could lead to a disruption in Geac’s business, a loss of customers and revenue and increased expenses. Any such decline in profitability would lessen the value of the Geac common shares issued to Extensity stockholders in the merger.

 
Potential divestitures may reduce revenues in the short term and create uncertainty among its employees, customers and potential customers which could harm its business.

      Geac has in the past divested and may in the future consider divesting certain portions of its business. Any divestitures would result in a short-term reduction in revenue and could harm Geac’s results of operations if it were not able to reduce expenses accordingly or to generate offsetting sources of revenue. To the extent that its consideration of these potential divestitures became known prior to its completion, Geac could face the risk, among others, that customers and potential customers of the business division in question might be reluctant to purchase Geac’s products and services during this period. In addition, Geac might face the risk that it may be unable to retain qualified personnel within that business division during this period. These risks could prevent Geac from successfully completing on favorable terms, or at all, divestitures that would otherwise be beneficial to Geac and may in the process weaken business divisions subject to consideration for divestiture that are not, in fact, divested. Any of these events could result in a loss of customers, revenues and employees and harm Geac’s results of operations.

 
Geac’s international operations expose Geac to additional risks, including currency-related risk.

      Geac is subject to risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, increases in duty rates, difficulties in obtaining export licenses, difficulties in the enforcement of intellectual property rights and political uncertainties. Geac derived more than 95% of its total revenue from sales outside Canada in each of fiscal 2001 and 2002. Geac’s most significant international operations are in the United States, France and the United Kingdom, which are the only countries in which Geac’s revenues constituted more than 5% of its total worldwide revenues during fiscal 2001 and 2002. Historically, Geac’s Canadian sales and expenses have been denominated in Canadian dollars, and Geac’s non-Canadian sales and expenses have been denominated in the currencies of 21 other jurisdictions. Geac has not to date used forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in non-Canadian currencies or use any other derivative financial instrument for trading, hedging, or speculative purposes.

      To the extent that Geac makes sales denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars, gains and losses on the conversion of such sales to Canadian dollars may, in the future, contribute to fluctuations in Geac’s business and operating results. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could affect the demand for Geac’s products. Additional risks Geac faces in conducting business internationally include the following: longer payment cycles; difficulties in managing international operations, including constraints associated with local laws regarding employment; problems in collecting accounts receivable; complex

international tax compliance requirements; and the adverse effects of tariffs, duties, price controls or other restrictions that impair trade.
 
Seasonal trends in sales of Geac’s software products may result in periodic reductions in Geac’s cash flow and impairment of its operating results.

      Seasonality in Geac’s business could result in its revenues or cash flow in a given period being less than market estimates. Seasonality could also result in quarter-to-quarter decreases in Geac’s revenues or cash flow. Geac’s revenues and operating results in its January quarter have tended to benefit from customer spending related to calendar year end budget cycles. In fiscal 2002, approximately 40% of Geac’s maintenance contracts were scheduled for renewal on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, cash receipts from maintenance contract renewals are highest in the January quarter and lowest in the July and October quarters. These historical patterns may change over time, however, particularly as Geac’s operations become larger and the sources of its revenue change and become more diverse. Geac’s European operations have expanded significantly in recent years following its acquisition of JBA in September 1999, and may experience variability in demand associated with seasonal buying patterns in these foreign markets. For example, Geac’s July and October quarters typically experience reduced sales and cash collections activity in part due to the European summer holiday season.

 
If Geac cannot attract and retain qualified sales personnel, customer service personnel, and software developers, Geac may not be able to sell and to support its existing products or to develop new products.

      Geac depends on key technical, sales, and senior management personnel. Many of these individuals would be difficult to replace if they were to leave Geac’s employment. In addition, Geac’s success is highly dependent on its continuing ability to identify, to hire, to train, to assimilate, to motivate, and to retain highly qualified personnel, including recently hired officers and other employees. Competition for qualified employees is particularly intense in the technology industry, and Geac has in the past experienced difficulty recruiting qualified employees. Geac’s failure to attract and to retain the necessary qualified personnel could seriously harm its operating results and financial condition.

      Geac’s future growth depends in part upon its ability to develop new products and improve existing products. Geac’s ability to develop new products and services and to enhance its existing products and services will depend in part on its ability to recruit and to retain top quality software programmers. There is a shortage of programming personnel, and competition for qualified programmers is intense. If Geac is unable to hire and to retain sufficient numbers of qualified programming personnel, it may not be able to develop new products and services or to improve its existing products and services in the time frame necessary to execute its business plan.

 
Geac’s executive officers are critical to its business, and these officers may not remain with Geac in the future.

      Geac’s future success largely depends on the continued efforts and abilities of its executive officers. Their skills, experience, and industry contacts significantly benefit Geac. Although Geac has employment and noncompetition agreements with Paul Birch, Geac’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Arthur Gitajn, Geac’s Chief Financial Officer, Graeme Riley, Geac’s Managing Director, Geac Enterprise Solutions, Europe and Bertrand Sciard, Geac’s Managing Director, Geac Enterprise Solutions, Europe, it cannot assure you that they will all choose to remain employed by Geac. If Geac loses the services of one or more of its executive officers, or if one or more of them decide to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with Geac, Geac’s business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed. Geac does not maintain key-man life insurance on any of its employees.

The market for Geac’s software products is characterized by rapid technological advances, and Geac must continually improve its technology to remain competitive.

      Rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions and enhancements characterize the enterprise solutions software industry. Geac’s current and potential customers increasingly require greater levels of functionality and more sophisticated product offerings. In addition, the life cycles of Geac’s products are difficult to estimate. Accordingly, Geac believes that its future success depends upon its ability to enhance current products and to develop and to introduce new products offering enhanced performance and functionality at competitive prices in a timely manner and on Geac’s ability to enable its products to work in conjunction with other products from other suppliers that Geac’s customers may utilize. Geac’s failure to develop and to introduce or to enhance products in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Geac may be unable to respond on a timely basis to the changing needs of its customer base, and the new applications Geac designs for its customers may prove to be ineffective. Geac’s ability to compete successfully will depend in large measure on its ability to be among the first to market with effective new products or services, to maintain a technically competent research and development staff, and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry, including providing for the continued compatibility of Geac’s software products with evolving computer hardware and software platforms and operating environments. Geac cannot assure you that it will be successful in these efforts. In addition, competitive or technological developments may require Geac to make substantial, unanticipated investments in new products and technologies, and Geac may not have sufficient resources to make these investments. If Geac were required to expend substantial resources to respond to specific technological or product changes, its operating results would be adversely affected.

 
Geac may be unable to develop and maintain collaborative development and marketing relationships, which could result in a decline in revenues or slower than anticipated growth rates.

      A key element of Geac’s business strategy is the formation of collaborative relationships with other leading companies. Geac believes that its success will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain these relationships and to cultivate additional corporate alliances with such companies. Geac cannot assure you that its historical collaborative relationships will be commercially successful, that it will be able to negotiate additional collaborative relationships, that such additional collaborative relationships will be available to Geac on acceptable terms, or that any such relationships, if established, will be commercially successful. In addition, Geac cannot assure you that parties with whom Geac has established, or will establish, collaborative relationships will not, either directly or in collaboration with others, pursue alternative technologies or develop alternative products in addition to, or instead of, Geac’s products or experience financial or other difficulties that lessen their value to Geac and to its customers. Geac’s financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected by a failure on the part of Geac or these third parties to establish and maintain collaborative relationships.

 
The combined company may become increasingly dependent on third-party software incorporated in its products and, if so, impaired relations with these third parties, errors in third-party software or inability to enhance the software over time could harm the combined company’s business.

      Each of Geac and Extensity incorporates third-party software into its products. Currently, the third-party software Geac uses includes several products from IBM, including Websphere Application Server, Websphere Commerce Suite, HACP, and MQSeries. Other third-party software incorporated by Geac in its products includes Cognos Powerplay and Impromptu, FRx Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition, NetManage Rumba, Applix iSales, Jacada, Brio Brio.Report, Rogue Wave Software Tools.h++, FileNET Panagon and Captaris RightFax. The third-party software Extensity uses includes application server software that it licenses from BEA Systems, off-line database software from Pointbase, off-line client server software from Pumatech, synchronization software from Aether Systems, reporting software from Business Objects and Java Web Start from Sun Microsystems. The combined company may incorporate additional third-party software into its products as it expands its product lines. The operation of the

36


Table of Contents

combined company’s products would be impaired if errors occur in the third-party software that it licenses. It may be more difficult for the combined company to correct any errors in third-party software because the software is not within its control. Accordingly, the combined company’s business would be adversely affected in the event of any errors in this software. Furthermore, it may be difficult for the combined company to replace any third-party software if a vendor seeks to terminate its license to the software.
 
Geac may be unable to protect its proprietary technology and that of Extensity or other companies Geac may acquire, which could harm Geac’s competitive position.

      Geac has relied, and expects to continue to rely, on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to establish, to maintain, and to protect its proprietary rights. Despite Geac’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights in its intellectual property and that of Extensity or other companies Geac may acquire, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or to obtain information it regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of Geac’s technology, if required, may be difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Geac’s means of protecting its technology may be inadequate.

      Third parties may apply for patent protection for processes that are the same as or similar to Geac’s processes or for products that use the same or similar processes as Geac’s products. Despite Geac’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its products or services or to obtain and to use information that Geac regards as proprietary. Third parties may also independently develop similar or superior technology without violating Geac’s proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of Canada and the United States.

      Geac believes that trademark protection is an important factor in establishing product recognition. Geac’s inability to protect its trademarks from infringement could result in injury to any goodwill which may be developed in its trademarks. Moreover, Geac may be unable to use one or more of its trademarks because of successful third-party claims.

      Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and legal protections, including patents, are applied to software products. Although Geac believes that its products and technology do not infringe proprietary rights of others, litigation may be necessary to protect Geac’s proprietary technology, and third parties may assert infringement claims against Geac with respect to their proprietary rights. Any claims or litigation can be time-consuming and expensive regardless of their merit. Infringement claims against Geac could cause product release delays, require Geac to redesign its products or enter into royalty or license agreements, which agreements may not be available on terms acceptable to Geac, or at all.

 
Product development delays could harm Geac’s competitive position and reduce its revenues.

      If Geac experiences significant delays in releasing new or enhanced products, its position in the market could be harmed, and its revenue could be substantially reduced, which would adversely affect Geac’s operating results. Geac has experienced product development delays in the past and may experience delays in the future. In particular, Geac may experience product development delays associated with the integration of recently acquired products and technologies. Delays may occur for many reasons, including an inability to hire a sufficient number of developers, discovery of bugs and errors, or the inability of Geac’s current or future products to conform to customer and industry requirements.

 
Geac’s software products may contain errors or defects that could result in lost revenue, delayed or limited market acceptance or product liability claims with substantial litigation costs.

      As a result of their complexity, software products may contain undetected errors or failures when entering the market. Despite testing by Geac and testing and use by current and potential customers, defects and errors may be found in new products after commencement of commercial shipments or the offering of a network service using these products. In these circumstances, Geac may be unable to

37


Table of Contents

successfully correct the errors in a timely manner or at all. The occurrence of errors and failures in Geac’s products could result in negative publicity and a loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of those products, which could reduce revenue from new licenses and lead to increased customer attrition. Alleviating these errors and failures could require significant expenditure of capital and other resources by Geac. The consequences of these errors and failures could have a material adverse effect on Geac’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

      Because many of Geac’s customers use its products for business-critical applications, any errors, defects, or other performance problems could result in financial or other damage to Geac’s customers and could significantly impair their operations. Geac’s customers or other third parties could seek to recover damages from Geac in the event of actual or alleged failures of Geac’s products or the provision of services. Geac has in the past been, and may in the future continue to be, subject to these kinds of claims. Although Geac’s license agreements with customers typically contain provisions designed to limit its exposure to potential claims, as well as any liabilities arising from these claims, the provisions may not effectively protect against these claims and the liability and associated costs. Accordingly, any such claim could have a material adverse effect upon Geac’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, defending this kind of claim, regardless of its merits, or otherwise satisfying affected customers, could entail substantial expense and require the devotion of significant time and attention by key management personnel.

 
The hosting services of Geac’s Interealty subsidiary, and Geac’s AppCare service, are dependent on the uninterrupted operation of its data centers. Any unexpected interruption in the operation of its data centers could result in customer dissatisfaction and a loss of revenues.

      The hosting services offered by Geac’s Interealty subsidiary and Geac’s AppCare remote application management service are each dependent on the uninterrupted operation of Geac’s data centers and on Geac’s ability to protect computer equipment and information stored in its data centers against damage that may be caused by natural disaster, fire, power loss, telecommunications or internet failure, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses and other similar damaging events. If any of Geac’s data centers were to become inoperable for an extended period Geac might be unable to provide its customers with contracted services. Although Geac takes what it believes to be reasonable precautions against such occurrences, Geac can give no assurance that damaging events such as these will not result in a prolonged interruption of its Interealty hosting services or its AppCare remote application management service, either of which could result in customer dissatisfaction, loss of revenue and damage to Geac’s business.

Risks Related to Extensity’s Historical Business

 
Extensity’s limited operating history and the fact that Extensity operates in a new industry make Extensity’s business prospects difficult to evaluate.

      Extensity was incorporated in November 1995 and commenced licensing of its software applications in March 1998. In considering the advisability of the merger and of electing to receive Geac common shares in the merger, Extensity stockholders should consider the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the market for employee relationship management software applications. Risks and difficulties include the ability of Extensity and the combined company to:

  •  expand Extensity’s base of customers with fully installed and deployed systems that can serve as reference accounts for its ongoing sales efforts;
 
  •  expand Extensity’s pipeline of sales prospects in order to promote greater predictability in its period-to-period sales levels;
 
  •  continue to offer new products that complement Extensity’s existing product line, in order to make its suite of applications more attractive to customers;
 
  •  continue to develop and upgrade Extensity’s technology to add additional features and functionality;

38


Table of Contents

  •  continue to attract and retain qualified personnel;
 
  •  expand direct sales channels and indirect channels such as relationships with OEM customers and distributors;
 
  •  increase awareness of Extensity’s brand; and
 
  •  maintain Extensity’s current relationships and develop new third-party relationships.

      If the combined company fails to address these risks or difficulties adequately, its business will likely suffer.

 
The success of the merger will depend, in part, upon the growth and acceptance of the market Extensity addresses and Extensity’s ability to meet the needs of the emerging market for employee relationship management software applications.

      The market for Extensity’s employee relationship management software applications and services is at an early stage of development. The success of the merger will depend, in part, upon the continued development of this market and the increasing acceptance by customers of the benefits to be provided by employee relationship management applications and services. In addition, as the market evolves, it is unclear whether the market will accept Extensity’s suite of applications as a preferred solution for employee relationship management needs. Accordingly, Extensity’s products and services may not achieve significant market acceptance or realize significant revenue growth. Unless a critical mass of organizations and their suppliers use Extensity’s solutions and recommend them to new customers, Extensity’s solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance, which may cause the benefits expected from the merger not to materialize.

 
Extensity has a history of losses and negative cash flow and expects this to continue.

      Extensity’s business is new; Extensity has offered products for a relatively short period of time; and its base of customers and prospective customers is still relatively small. Extensity has spent significant funds to date to develop its current products and to develop its sales and market resources. Extensity has incurred significant operating losses and has not achieved profitability. As of September 30, 2002, Extensity had an accumulated deficit of US$114.0 million. The combined company expects to continue to invest in research and development to enhance current products and develop future products and support Extensity’s current sales and marketing efforts that promote Extensity’s products in the marketplace. As a result, the combined company will need to increase revenues attributable to these products significantly to achieve profitability of the Extensity business.

 
Extensity’s business is changing rapidly, which could contribute to fluctuations in Geac’s quarterly operating results and share price.

      Extensity’s revenues and operating results have historically varied significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond Extensity’s control. Extensity also seeks to develop and maintain a significant pipeline of potential sales prospects, but it is difficult to predict when individual customer orders will be closed. Extensity’s base of customers and the number of additional customer licenses Extensity enters into each quarter are still relatively small. Accordingly, the loss or deferral of a small number of anticipated large customer orders in any quarter could result in a significant shortfall in revenues of Geac attributable to Extensity products for that quarter and future quarters, which could result in a drop in the price of Geac common shares.

      Other important factors that could contribute to fluctuation in the quarterly results of the Extensity business include:

  •  the ability of Extensity or the combined company to grow Extensity’s customer base and its base of referencing customers, in light of Extensity’s relatively limited number of customers to date;

  •  the ability of Extensity or the combined company to successfully develop alternative sales channels for Extensity’s products, such as sales through OEM customers or distributors;
 
  •  the combined company’s ability to expand Extensity’s implementation and consulting resources through third-party relationships, in light of the fact that Extensity has limited third-party implementation and consulting relationships currently in place;
 
  •  the loss of one or more of Extensity’s relatively small number of customers and prospective customers;
 
  •  technical difficulties or “bugs” affecting the operation of Extensity’s software; and
 
  •  delays in the introduction of new or enhanced versions of Extensity’s products.

 
Extensity faces intense competition, which could affect the combined company’s financial performance

      The market for Extensity’s internet-based employee relationship management software applications is highly competitive and Extensity expects competition to increase in the future. Extensity’s competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. Companies offering one or more products directly competitive with Extensity’s products include Ariba, Concur Technologies, IBM, PeopleSoft and Oracle. As a result of the large market opportunity for employee relationship management solutions, Extensity also expects competition from other established and emerging companies. Many of Extensity’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition, and a larger installed base of customers than Extensity. In addition, many of Extensity’s competitors have well-established relationships with its current and potential customers and have extensive knowledge of Extensity’s industry. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Extensity also expects that competition will increase as a result of industry consolidation. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, any one of which could cause the expected benefits of the merger not to be achieved and harm the Extensity business.

 
If Extensity does not provide software applications and related services that meet the changing demands of its customers, the market for Extensity’s products will not grow or may decline.

      To successfully implement Extensity’s business strategy, the combined company will need to provide software applications and related services that meet the demands of its customers and prospective customers as the market and customer requirements evolve. Extensity expects that competitive factors will create a continuing need for Extensity to improve and add to Extensity’s suite of software applications. Not only will the combined company have to expend additional funds and other resources to continue to improve Extensity’s existing suite of applications, but it must also properly anticipate, address and respond to customer preferences and demands. As organizations’ needs change with respect to their enterprise applications, Extensity’s existing suite of software applications may become obsolete or inefficient relative to the combined company’s competitors’ offerings and may require modifications or improvements. The addition of new products and services will also require that Extensity continue to improve the technology underlying its applications. These requirements could be significant, and Extensity may fail to fulfill them quickly and efficiently. If the combined company fails to expand the breadth of Extensity’s applications quickly in response to customer needs or if these offerings fail to achieve market acceptance, the market for Extensity’s products will not grow or may decline, the benefits expected from the merger may not be achieved, and the Extensity business may suffer significantly.

      Extensity’s employee relationship management software products and related services have accounted for substantially all of Extensity’s revenues to date. Consequently, the combined company’s future financial performance will depend, in part, upon the successful development, introduction and customer acceptance

40


Table of Contents

of enhanced versions of Extensity’s employee relationship management software applications and new products and services. There can be no assurance that Extensity or the combined company will be successful in enhancing, upgrading or continuing to effectively market Extensity’s employee relationship management software applications or that any new products or services that Extensity may develop or acquire will achieve market acceptance.
 
If Extensity fails to maintain positive margins on service revenues in the foreseeable future, the Extensity business could suffer.

      For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, Extensity’s service margins were positive. While Extensity anticipates that its margins will continue to be positive in the future, Geac cannot guarantee that they will remain positive. Failure to maintain positive margins on service revenues would cause the Extensity business to suffer. For more information related to Extensity’s costs associated with its service revenues, see the section entitled “Extensity Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 
Evolving technological developments and emerging industry standards will require Extensity to enhance the functionality of Extensity’s employee relationship management software applications, and any inability to enhance functionality could cause sales of Extensity products to decline.

      Because the market for Extensity’s products is subject to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, the life cycles of Extensity’s products are difficult to predict. Competitors may introduce new products or enhancements to existing products employing new technologies, which could render Extensity’s existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable. For example, Extensity’s currently available software applications are written entirely in the Java computer language. While Extensity believes that this provides its solution with significant advantages in terms of functionality and flexibility, it is not clear whether Java-based systems will continue to maintain commercial acceptance.

      To be successful, Extensity’s products and services must keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards, address the ever-changing and increasingly sophisticated needs of Extensity’s customers and achieve market acceptance. The combined company’s results of operations would be seriously harmed if Extensity is unable to develop, release and market new software product enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance or fail to respond to evolving industry or technology standards.

      In developing new products and services, Extensity may also fail to develop and market products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards in a timely or cost-effective manner, or experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these new products and services.

 
If the combined company fails to expand Extensity’s relationships with third parties that can provide implementation and consulting services to Extensity’s customers, the combined company may be unable to grow Extensity’s revenues and the Extensity business could be harmed.

      The combined company must continue to establish relationships with third parties that can provide implementation and consulting services to Extensity’s customers. Third-party implementation and consulting firms can also be influential in the choice of employee relationship management software applications by new customers. To date, Extensity has established relationships with several third-party implementation and consulting firms. However, if the combined company is unable to establish and maintain effective, long-term relationships with implementation and consulting providers, or if these providers do not meet the needs or expectations of Extensity’s customers, the combined company may be unable to grow Extensity’s revenues, and the benefits expected from the merger may not be achieved and the Extensity business could be seriously harmed. As a result of the limited resources and capacities of many third-party implementation providers, the combined company may be unable to attain sufficient focus and resources from the third-party providers to meet all of Extensity’s customers’ needs, even if it

41


Table of Contents

establishes relationships with these third parties. If sufficient resources are unavailable, Extensity will be required to provide these services internally, which could limit the combined company’s ability to expand Extensity’s base of customers. A number of Extensity’s competitors have significantly more established relationships with these third parties and, as a result, these third parties may be more likely to recommend competitors’ products and services rather than Extensity’s own. Even if the combined company is successful in developing additional relationships with third-party implementation and consulting providers, Extensity will be subject to significant risk, as Extensity cannot control the level and quality of service provided by third-party implementation and consulting partners.
 
The combined company’s expectations of future growth depend in part on Extensity’s ability to expand international sales of its products, and factors specific to Extensity’s international expansion may prevent the combined company from achieving its anticipated growth.

      Over time, the combined company intends to expand Extensity’s international operations to achieve Extensity’s anticipated growth, but the combined company may face significant challenges to Extensity’s international expansion. The expansion of Extensity’s existing international operations and entry into additional international markets will require significant management attention and financial resources. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 10% of Extensity’s revenues were derived from international sales. To achieve broad acceptance in international markets, Extensity’s products must be localized to handle a variety of factors specific to each international market, such as tax laws and local regulations. The incorporation of these factors into Extensity’s products is a complex process and often requires assistance from third parties. The combined company may not adequately address all of the factors necessary to achieve broad acceptance in Extensity’s target international markets. Further, to achieve broad usage by employees across international organizations, Extensity’s products must be localized to handle local languages and cultures in each international market. Localizing Extensity’s products is also a complex process and the combined company intends to continue working with third parties to develop localized products. To date, Extensity has localized its product for the markets where the English language is the local language and completed translations for the German, French, Italian and Spanish languages.

 
Extensity’s sales cycles are long and unpredictable, which makes period-to-period revenues difficult to predict.

      Because the market for Extensity’s employee relationship management software products and related services is relatively new, Extensity experiences long and unpredictable sales cycles. The sales cycle for Extensity’s employee relationship management software applications typically ranges from three to ten months. Extensity’s customers have frequently viewed the purchase of Extensity’s products as part of a long-term strategic decision regarding the management of their workforce-related operations and expenditures. This decision process has sometimes resulted in customers taking a long period of time to assess alternative solutions by Extensity’s competitors or deferring a purchase decision until the market evolves. Sales cycles continue to be long and the timing of purchase decisions by individual customers remain at times uncertain. The combined company must continue to educate potential customers on the use and benefits of Extensity’s products and services, as well as the integration of Extensity’s products and services with additional software applications utilized by the individual customers. Because the sales cycle is long and timing of individual orders is uncertain, period-to-period revenues attributable to Extensity’s products are difficult to predict.

 
The combined company may be unable to attract and retain highly skilled employees that are necessary for the success of its business plan for Extensity.

      The combined company’s ability to execute its business plan for Extensity and be successful also depends on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. Over time, the combined company will need to hire additional personnel in all operational areas. Competition for personnel in Extensity’s industry is intense. Extensity has in the past experienced, and Geac and Extensity expect the combined company to

42


Table of Contents

continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. If the combined company’s does not succeed in attracting or retaining personnel for the Extensity operations, its business could be adversely affected.
 
Software defects could lead to loss of revenue or delay the market acceptance of Extensity’s applications.

      Extensity’s enterprise applications software is complex and, accordingly, may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released. This may result in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of Extensity’s products. Extensity has in the past discovered software errors in Extensity’s new releases and new products after their introduction. If the combined company experiences significant software errors in future releases, it could experience delays in the release, customer dissatisfaction and lower revenues and service margins during the period required to correct these errors. The combined company may in the future discover errors, and additional scaleability limitations, in new releases or new products after the commencement of commercial shipments. Any of these errors or defects could cause the combined company’s business to be materially harmed.

 
Security and other concerns may discourage customers from purchasing Extensity’s hosted product.

      If customers determine that Extensity’s hosted product is not scalable, does not provide adequate security for the dissemination of information over the Internet, or is otherwise inadequate for Internet-based use, or if for any other reason customers fail to accept Extensity’s hosted products for use on the Internet or on a subscription basis, the combined company’s business will be harmed. As a hosted provider, Extensity expects to receive confidential information including credit card, travel booking, employee, purchasing, supplier, and other financial and accounting data, through the Internet. There can be no assurance that this information will not be subject to computer break-ins, theft, and other improper activity that could jeopardize the security of information for which Extensity is responsible. Any such lapse in security could expose the combined company to litigation, loss of customers, or otherwise harm the combined company’s business. In addition, any person who is able to circumvent Extensity’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary or confidential customer information or cause interruptions in Extensity’s operations. The combined company may be required to incur significant costs to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Additionally, in the past, computer viruses and software programs that disable or impair computers have been distributed and have rapidly spread over the Internet. Computer viruses could be introduced into Extensity’s systems or those of its customers or suppliers, which could disrupt Extensity’s software solutions or make them inaccessible to customers or suppliers. Further, a well-publicized compromise of security could deter people from using the Internet to conduct transactions that involve transmitting confidential information. The combined company’s failure to prevent security breaches, or well-publicized security breaches affecting the Internet in general could significantly harm its business, operating results and financial condition.

 
Extensity is the target of a securities class action complaint which may result in substantial costs and divert management attention and resources.

      In November 2001, Extensity and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action stockholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York now captioned In re Extensity, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. In the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that Extensity, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of its initial public offering (“IPO”) violated the federal securities laws because Extensity’s IPO registration statement and prospectus contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The plaintiffs seek an order declaring the action to be a class action, as well as unspecified damages, prejudgment and postjudgment interest, attorneys fees and costs, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. This action may divert the efforts and attention of the combined company’s management and, if determined adversely to Extensity, could have a material impact on the combined company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

43

Increasing government regulation could limit the market for, or impose sales and other taxes on the sale of, Extensity’s products and services.

      As Internet commerce evolves, the combined company expects that federal, state or foreign agencies will adopt regulations covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, taxation of goods and services provided over the Internet, and content and quality of products and services. It is possible that legislation could expose companies involved in electronic commerce to liability, which could limit the growth of electronic commerce generally. Legislation could dampen the growth in Internet usage and decrease its acceptance as a communications and commercial medium. If enacted, these laws, rules or regulations could limit the market for Extensity’s products and services.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF EXTENSITY STOCKHOLDERS

General

      Extensity is furnishing this proxy statement/ prospectus to holders of Extensity common stock and to holders of options and other rights to purchase Extensity common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Extensity’s management for use at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders to be held on March 3, 2003, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, and for the purpose of assisting Extensity stockholders in deciding whether to elect to receive cash or Geac common shares in the merger.

      This proxy statement/ prospectus is being mailed to Extensity stockholders on or about February 10, 2003. This proxy statement/ prospectus is also being furnished to Extensity stockholders as a prospectus in connection with the issuance by Geac of Geac common shares as contemplated by the merger agreement.

Date, Time and Place

      The special meeting of Extensity stockholders will be held on March 3, 2003 at 9:30 a.m., local time, at the law offices of Cooley Godward LLP, located at 3175 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94303.

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting of Extensity Stockholders

      At the special meeting of Extensity stockholders, and any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof, Extensity stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Geac will merge with and into Extensity, Extensity will become a subsidiary of Geac and each outstanding share of Extensity common stock will be converted into the right to receive, at the stockholder’s election, either US$1.75 in cash or 0.627 of a Geac common share (with cash in lieu of any combined fractional share), subject to adjustment depending on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at the closing of the merger. We call this proposal the merger proposal.

      Extensity stockholders will also be asked to grant Extensity’s management authority to vote in management’s discretion to adjourn the Extensity special meeting in the event that Extensity does not receive sufficient votes to approve the merger proposal, so that Extensity’s management can solicit additional proxies with respect to the merger proposal. We call this proposal the adjournment proposal.

Record Date

      Extensity’s board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 5, 2003, as the record date for determination of Extensity stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders.

Voting of Proxies

      Extensity requests that its stockholders complete, date and sign the proxy card and promptly return it by mail in the accompanying white envelope marked for this purpose in accordance with the instructions accompanying the proxy card. If your shares are held by a broker in “street name,” your broker may vote the shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. Your broker will provide directions on how to instruct the broker to vote your shares. All properly signed and dated proxies that Extensity receives prior to the vote at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxies or, if no direction is indicated, “FOR” adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger and “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

      Stockholders may revoke their proxies at any time prior to their use:

  •  by delivering to the Secretary of Extensity, 2200 Powell Street, Suite 300, Emeryville, CA 94608, a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated, signed proxy; or
 
  •  by attending the special meeting of Extensity stockholders and voting in person.

46


Table of Contents

      Attendance at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders does not in itself constitute the revocation of a proxy.

Votes Required

      As of the close of business on February 5, 2003, the record date for the special meeting of Extensity stockholders, there were 25,506,378 shares of Extensity common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held by approximately 166 holders of record. The record holders of a majority of the shares of Extensity common stock outstanding on the record date must vote to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger in order for the merger agreement and the merger to be approved. The record holders of a majority of the shares of Extensity common stock present at the special meeting, either in person or represented by proxy, must vote to approve the adjournment proposal in order for Extensity’s management to have the authority to adjourn the special meeting. Extensity stockholders have one vote per share of Extensity common stock owned on the record date.

      As of the record date for the special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Extensity and their affiliates owned 7,477,747 shares of Extensity common stock, which represented approximately 29% of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders. Several directors and executive officers of Extensity, and entities affiliated with these directors and officers, have entered into voting and proxy agreements with Geac and Geac’s merger subsidiary, pursuant to which these directors and executive officers and other stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote, or cause to be voted, all of the shares of Extensity common stock owned by them, as set forth in each voting and proxy agreement, as well as all shares of Extensity common stock acquired by them, in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger, and against any other extraordinary transaction, such as another merger. As of the record date for the special meeting, 6,305,695 shares of Extensity common stock were subject to the voting and proxy agreements, representing approximately 25.0% of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock entitled to vote at the Extensity special meeting. See the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Merger — Voting Agreements.”

Quorum; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

      The required quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders is the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of Extensity common stock outstanding on the record date for the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes each will be included in determining the number of shares present and voting at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the merger proposal. In addition, the failure of an Extensity stockholder to return a proxy or to vote in person in favor of the merger will have the effect of a vote against the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger. The approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting on the proposal (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum). Accordingly, the failure of an Extensity stockholder to return a proxy or vote in person in favor of the adjournment proposal, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, will have the effect of votes against the adjournment proposal, unless more than 25 percent of the shares of Extensity common stock outstanding on the record date are voted “for” the proposal, in which case neither the failure to return a proxy or vote nor abstentions or broker non-votes will affect the outcome. Brokers holding shares for beneficial owners cannot vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement or the adjournment proposal without the owners’ specific instructions. Accordingly, Extensity stockholders are encouraged to return the enclosed proxy card marked to indicate their votes as described in the instructions accompanying the proxy card.

Solicitation of Proxies and Expenses

      Extensity has retained the services of Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies from Extensity stockholders. The fees to be paid to the firm by Extensity for these services are not expected to exceed US$8,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Extensity will bear its own expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of Extensity stockholders.

      In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers and employees of Extensity may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, email, facsimile or in person. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

      Under Extensity’s bylaws, business transacted at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice accompanying this proxy statement/ prospectus.

Extensity Board Recommendation

      Extensity’s board of directors has unanimously approved and adopted the merger and the merger agreement and has determined that the merger and the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Extensity and its stockholders, and recommends that Extensity stockholders vote “FOR” adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

      The matters to be considered at the special meeting of Extensity stockholders are of great importance to Extensity stockholders. Accordingly, Extensity stockholders are encouraged to read and carefully consider the information presented in this proxy statement/ prospectus, and to complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid white envelope marked for this purpose, as described in the instructions accompanying the proxy card.

      Extensity stockholders should not send any stock certificates with their proxy cards, nor should they send their elections to receive cash or stock consideration with their proxy cards. Instructions for the return of the election forms and stock certificates are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information regarding the procedures for exchanging Extensity stock certificates for the merger consideration, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Elections as to Form of Consideration.”

Stockholder Proposals for the Extensity 2003 Annual Meeting

      If the merger is not completed, proposals of Extensity stockholders that are intended to be presented at Extensity’s 2003 Annual Meeting must be timely delivered to or received by Extensity. Under Extensity’s bylaws, in order to be deemed properly presented, notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, Extensity not later than December 16, 2002. The stockholder’s notice must set forth: (1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (2) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (3) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (a) the name and address of such stockholder, and of such beneficial owner and (b) the class and number of shares which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner. If the presiding officer of the meeting determines that such business has not been properly brought before the meeting, then that business shall not be transacted.

THE MERGER

The Merger

      This section of this proxy statement/ prospectus describes material aspects of the proposed merger, including the merger agreement. While Geac and Extensity believe that this description covers the material terms of the merger and the related transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire merger agreement and the other documents referred to herein carefully and in their entirety for a more complete understanding of the merger.

      Geac, Cage Acquisition, Inc. and Extensity entered into an agreement and plan of merger on August 26, 2002. On December 20, 2002, these parties, along with Geac Computers, Inc., entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger. On February 4, 2003, the parties entered into a second amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/ prospectus and incorporated herein by reference. In this proxy statement/ prospectus, we often refer to this amended and restated agreement as the merger agreement. Similarly, we often refer to the merger, which, unless the context otherwise requires, refers to the merger of Cage Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of Geac, with and into Extensity. Extensity will be the surviving corporation in the merger.

Background of the Merger

      Both Geac and Extensity have regularly evaluated different strategies to improve their competitive positions and enhance their respective stockholder values, including opportunities for combinations with or acquisitions of other companies or their assets, possible partnerships or alliances and other significant transactions.

      In the second half of fiscal 2002, Geac commenced a strategic review of its business, with the assistance of an international strategic consulting firm. In early March 2002, Geac announced that, as a result of its review, it had embarked on a number of strategic and tactical initiatives with the objective of transforming Geac into a fast-growing, first-tier enterprise application systems provider. Among these initiatives was a plan to build on the strengths of Geac’s existing enterprise application suite and its large installed customer base by adding, through internal development or acquisition, new applications that would enable Geac’s enterprise customers to improve additional business processes that were contiguous or closely related to those already addressed by Geac’s existing product suite.

      In its strategic review, Geac had identified several classes of applications for which Geac believed there was substantial demand among its installed base, and had considered a number of existing vendors of these applications as possible acquisition candidates. Geac concluded that one of the most promising potential areas for expansion was in the field of employee relations management software, and began to concentrate its search for an acquisition candidate in that field. Geac identified a number of vendors of time and attendance, travel and expense, procurement and workforce management software applications and contacted several of them about the possibility of discussing a strategic alliance or other cooperative arrangement. Of the companies that expressed interest in pursuing discussions, Geac considered Extensity to be the most attractive candidate, with the most complete suite of employee relations management software applications of the companies Geac had contacted, and a history of sales to customers of a size and kind that largely complemented Geac’s customer base.

      On March 29, 2002, Paul Birch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Geac, sent a letter to Bob Spinner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Extensity, in which Mr. Birch expressed an interest in initiating discussions regarding a potential business combination between Geac and Extensity. On April 8, 2002, Mr. Birch called Mr. Spinner to follow up on his letter, and the two agreed to schedule a videoconference session with members of Geac’s and Extensity’s management. On April 10, 2002, Mr. Birch, along with Charles Jones, Chairman of the Board of Geac and Jay Sherry, Geac’s Senior Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Alliances, conducted a videoconference with members of Extensity’s

senior management, including Mr. Spinner and Kenneth Hahn, who was Chief Financial Officer of Extensity at that time, to discuss the possibility of a business combination.

      On April 21, 2002, Messrs. Jones and Birch, along with Derek Murphy, one of Geac’s financial advisors, met with members of Extensity’s management at Extensity’s corporate office in Emeryville, California. Present at the meeting for Extensity were Messrs. Spinner and Hahn, Sharam Sasson, Extensity’s Chairman of the Board and founder, and other members of Extensity’s management team. The meeting focused on product functionality, management capabilities at Extensity and market conditions. Mr. Jones explained Geac’s strategic intentions with respect to a possible acquisition of Extensity.

      On April 26, 2002, Geac sent a letter to Extensity outlining a preliminary set of proposed terms for a potential business combination, including a potential aggregate transaction value in the range of US$49 million to US$53 million.

      On May 1, 2002, Geac and Extensity signed a confidentiality agreement to facilitate each company’s review of the other’s confidential and proprietary information in connection with a possible acquisition transaction. Beginning in May 2002, Geac, both directly and with the assistance of its financial, accounting and legal advisors, conducted a due diligence investigation of Extensity. That effort included meetings by members of Geac’s management team and board of directors with members of Extensity’s management team and members of its board of directors, document review and follow-up questions by representatives of Geac and its financial and accounting advisors and its inside and outside counsel. As part of this investigation, representatives of Geac met with or spoke to a number of existing customers of Extensity, and Geac engaged an independent consultant to perform an analysis of Extensity’s customer pipeline and other issues. The due diligence investigation continued through August 26, 2002. Beginning in May 2002, Extensity, both directly and with the assistance of its financial advisors and outside counsel, conducted a due diligence investigation of Geac. That due diligence investigation continued through August 26, 2002.

      Beginning in May 2002, Geac and Extensity and their respective financial and legal advisors began negotiating the substantive terms of the merger. The Geac negotiating team was led by Mr. Jones and the Extensity negotiating team was led by Mr. Spinner. The initial phase of negotiations focused on valuation and on the nature of the consideration that Extensity stockholders would receive in the transaction. Extensity initially expressed an interest in a non-taxable, all-stock transaction. Geac wanted to assure the possibility of some cash in the transaction, at least for those Extensity stockholders who preferred cash. Extensity also stated that the transaction value would need to be significantly higher than the range offered by Geac in its April 26 letter in order to make a transaction attractive to Extensity. Despite this difference in valuation expectations, the parties agreed to continue with due diligence and with exploration of a possible transaction.

      As negotiations continued, Geac and Extensity agreed that it would be beneficial to afford Extensity stockholders an ability to elect between Geac shares and cash. At this point in the process, the parties both contemplated that the Geac shares to be issued in the merger would not constitute a tax gain or loss recognition event for the Extensity stockholders under U.S. federal income tax laws. The parties also discussed the maximum amount of cash (ranging from 20-40% of the transaction value) that could be included in the merger consideration, consistent with treatment of the transaction as a tax-free reorganization.

      On May 15, 2002, Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe LLP (Geac’s California counsel) distributed preliminary drafts of a merger agreement and voting agreement to Extensity and Cooley Godward, and subsequently distributed a draft of the lock-up agreements with Geac that would restrict the ability of selected members of Geac’s management, directors and other stockholders affiliated with Extensity’s management and directors to transfer any Geac common shares received in the merger for a period after the merger closes.

      On May 31, 2002, Geac and Extensity signed a strategic alliance agreement providing for the marketing by Geac of Extensity software to Geac customers. Mr. Spinner and other representatives of

Extensity attended Geac’s Alliance User Group meeting held in Florida from June 3 through June 5, 2002, and Mr. Spinner addressed the meeting.

      Negotiations regarding the merger then slowed as Geac continued its due diligence investigation. In June 2002, Geac reported improved financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002. On July 2, 2002, Mr. Jones proposed to Mr. Spinner a revised transaction value of US$40 million. This proposal was rejected by Extensity on July 10, 2002 in a written communication from Broadview.

      On July 11, 2002, Extensity’s board of directors met to review the rationale for the transaction, the status of negotiations and the outstanding issues. Also on July 11, Mr. Jones was advised by the Extensity directors that they had authorized Messrs. Spinner and Schlein to continue to negotiate on behalf of Extensity, and these three individuals agreed to proceed with negotiations based on an aggregate transaction value of US$46.5 million, subject to resolution of a number of outstanding issues and further subject to Geac promptly completing its due diligence investigation. On July 12, 2002, Mr. Jones met with Messrs. Spinner, Hahn, and Oney and Ms. Ireland to discuss their future plans and responsibilities following the proposed merger.

      Over the next few weeks, Geac, Extensity and their respective financial and legal advisors continued the negotiations. They discussed whether the acquisition price should vary as a function of changes in the Geac share price and whether one or the other party should be entitled to terminate the merger agreement, in response to substantial changes in that price. The parties decided that, in order to promote transaction stability, there should be no such walk-away rights. They also decided to express the Geac share component of the merger consideration in the form of a fixed ratio, rather than as a stated dollar value or number of Geac shares.

      Another issue addressed in the July negotiations concerned Extensity’s working capital. In the earlier discussions in May 2002, Geac originally proposed that Geac would not be required to close the merger if Extensity’s working capital were below a prescribed level. Extensity objected to such a condition, in part because it could promote transaction instability and also because, given that Extensity projected a decline in its working capital with time, Extensity’s ability to satisfy a working capital condition would decline the later the closing occurred.

      The parties also discussed whether the transaction should be structured as a forward or reverse triangular merger and the nature of the closing conditions to be included in the merger agreement, including Geac’s proposal that, as a condition to the consummation of the merger, Extensity should be required to obtain the consent to the merger of any third party that might be required under a lease or other material agreement between Extensity and such third party. Extensity objected to this provision on the ground that it would, by imposing a condition beyond Extensity’s control, create uncertainty as to whether the transaction, once announced, would be consummated.

      By July 25, 2002, Geac and Extensity had reached a tentative understanding that the formula for determining the ratio of Geac common shares to be issued in the transaction would be based on Geac’s share price as of July 11, 2002, and that there would be no walk-away rights associated with changes in Geac’s share price. As discussions continued in late July and early August, the parties decided to dispense with a working capital closing condition, and in its place agreed upon a price adjustment if Extensity’s pre-closing adjusted working capital varied significantly from a working capital standard that declined over time. Geac and its team conducted additional due diligence regarding Extensity’s business prospects and forecasts. Geac’s management and its representatives also continued their discussion with Extensity’s management and representatives concerning management transition and related employment agreements, as well as working capital adjustments and the necessity of obtaining third party consents.

      On August 1, 2002, Geac’s board of directors met to review the status of the transaction, during which the directors of Geac participated in an active discussion and review of the significant issues that had arisen in connection with the transaction. Geac’s financial and legal advisors also participated in this meeting. The results of Geac’s due diligence investigation of Extensity were discussed. Geac’s board of directors approved the transaction subject to confirmation of the preliminary views that had been expressed

by its financial advisors, the resolution of a number of specified business and due diligence issues and the finalization of definitive merger documentation in form satisfactory to Messrs. Jones, Birch and Thorburn.

      On August 13, 2002, Heller Ehrman distributed a revised draft of the merger agreement and draft employment letters for the four management employees of Extensity (Ms. Ireland and Messrs. Oney, Smith and Yarnold) who ultimately signed such letters.

      On August 15, 2002, Extensity held a board meeting to consider the merger agreement and the merger at which Extensity’s financial advisor, Broadview International, made a presentation and provided its preliminary oral indication that the merger consideration was fair from a financial point of view to Extensity’s stockholders as of such date and based on information available at that time. At the meeting, at which all directors of Extensity were present except David Reed, Cooley Godward described the proposed terms of the merger agreement and the merger to Extensity’s board of directors. At the conclusion of this meeting, following an extensive discussion and numerous questions from Extensity’s board, the members of Extensity’s board of directors present at the meeting voted unanimously to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and granted members of Extensity’s management authority to complete the negotiation of the merger agreement provided that the final terms of the merger agreement were not materially different from those presented to the board.

      On August 19, 2002, Geac delivered to Extensity a revised proposal regarding the transaction value during a conference call in which members of each party’s management and their respective legal and financial advisors participated. At this time, Geac also proposed a cap on the number of Geac shares it could be required to issue in the transaction. This feature was necessary to enable Geac to state to the Toronto Stock Exchange, in connection with a required approval from the TSE, the maximum number of shares it would issue in the transaction.

      On August 21, 2002, after further negotiations conducted by Messrs. Jones, Spinner and Schlein, Geac and Extensity reached agreement in principle on a transaction value of US$46.1 million (including the value of Extensity options to be assumed). They also agreed to resolve the stalemate over the limit on the amount of cash consideration that could be paid, and Geac’s requirement to cap the number of shares that could be issued, by structuring the merger as a taxable transaction, in which there would be no limitation on the ability of Extensity stockholders to elect to receive cash, but there would be a cap on the total number of Geac common shares issuable in the transaction. They also agreed to eliminate the requirement that Extensity, as a condition to closing, obtain the consent of third parties under contracts between such third parties and Extensity.

      On August 23, 2002, Extensity’s board of directors met again to consider the revised merger agreement and the merger, including the US$46.1 million transaction value, and Broadview International delivered its fairness opinion. At the conclusion of the meeting, the members of Extensity’s board of directors voted unanimously to approve the revised merger agreement and the merger, and granted members of Extensity’s management authority to complete the negotiation of the merger agreement provided that the final terms of the merger agreement were not materially different from those presented to the board.

      From August 19 through August 26, 2002 representatives from Geac, Extensity and their respective financial and legal advisors participated in a series of conference calls during which they resolved the remaining open issues, including the details of the merger mechanics and the working capital adjustment, and exchanged and reviewed further draft language for the merger agreement, including the final version of the merger agreement which was distributed on August 26, 2002.

      After the close of trading for the Extensity common stock on the NASDAQ Market System and the Geac shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on August 26, 2002, Extensity, Geac and Geac’s subsidiary signed the merger agreement. The voting agreements, lock-up agreements and employment letters were also executed and delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement. Extensity and Geac then announced the merger agreement, in separate press releases, and on the evening of August 26, their management teams conducted a joint conference call about the transaction that was

52

open to the public. In Geac’s press release, Mr. Birch noted that, subject to a number of stated assumptions, Geac estimated that the effect of the merger on Geac’s earnings would be approximately 10% dilutive in the first twelve months following the closing and accretive in the following six month period.

      On December 20, 2002, Geac, Extensity, Cage Acquisition, Inc. and Geac Computers, Inc., a subsidiary of Geac, entered into an amended and restated merger agreement. This amendment and restatement effected two substantive changes to the merger agreement. First, it modified the termination provisions of the merger agreement to extend the date on which the agreement could be terminated by either Geac or Extensity if the closing of the merger had not taken place from January 31, 2003 to March 15, 2003. The purpose of this amendment was to ensure that the merger agreement would remain binding on the parties in the event that delays in the regulatory review process made it impossible to mail the proxy statement/prospectus to Extensity stockholders in time to hold the special meeting of stockholders and complete the merger by January 31, 2003. The second substantive change effected by the amendment was to add Geac’s subsidiary Geac Computers, Inc. as a party to the merger agreement, and to make Geac Computers, Inc., together with Geac, responsible for paying or causing to be paid any cash merger consideration required to be paid as a result of elections by Extensity stockholders. The purpose of adding Geac Computers, Inc. as a party was to facilitate planning by Geac relating to its internal arrangements for financing the cash portion of the merger consideration. Except insofar as efficient financing arrangements by Geac will indirectly benefit Extensity stockholders who elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, the addition of Geac Computers, Inc. as a party to the merger agreement is not expected to alter in any way the effect of the merger on Extensity stockholders or otherwise affect their interests.

      On February 4, 2003, Geac, Extensity, Cage Acquisition Inc. and Geac Computers, Inc. entered into a second amended and restated merger agreement. This amendment included an agreement of Geac and Extensity as to the amount of the Extensity WC had it been determined as of December 31, 2002, such amount referred to in the merger agreement as the “Interim Extensity WC.” The amendment modified the definition of Extensity WC in two respects: first, to clarify the intent of the parties that Extensity’s restricted cash and short-term investments are to be included in the computation of the Extensity WC; and second, to clarify the intent of the parties that certain types of changes in Extensity’s working capital, defined in the merger agreement as “Excluded Adjustments,” should not be taken into account in determining the amount of any increase in the merger consideration.

Geac’s Reasons for the Merger

      An important element of Geac’s strategy is the pursuit of acquisitions of companies, product lines and assets that are complementary to its business and that will contribute to the long-term growth of the company. Geac seeks, through selective acquisitions, to extend the breadth of its enterprise applications suite to provide more complete solutions demanded by the company’s enterprise customers. Geac also seeks to acquire advanced, web-enabled technologies that will enhance the accessibility, scalability and flexibility of Geac’s enterprise solutions.

      Geac believes there is substantial demand, both in its large installed base of enterprise customers, and among potential new customers, for enterprise applications that can offer extended financial management capabilities, particularly in the area of employee relationship management. Geac believes that adding Extensity’s innovative solutions for automating employee-based financial processes will help enable Geac to meet the demands of its enterprise customers around the world, promote customer loyalty, and create opportunities for incremental revenue growth from new and existing customers. Geac also believes that Extensity’s use of advanced web technology and product architecture based on open industry standards such as J2EE will facilitate integration of Extensity’s products with the Geac enterprise application suite and help provide the scalability and ease of integration demanded by Geac’s enterprise customers.

      Geac believes that the proposed merger presents significant opportunities for revenue and expense synergies. Geac expects to realize revenue synergies over time as Geac introduces Extensity’s products and technologies to Geac’s large installed customer base and also markets its own products and services to

53


Table of Contents

Extensity’s customer base. The revenue from these incremental sales, which might not have been made by either company in the absence of the merger, would include new license fees as well as professional services and maintenance fees related to the new licenses. Geac believes that its cost structure is lower than that of Extensity, so that the gross margins resulting from sales of Extensity’s products should be higher than Extensity’s historical gross margins. Geac also believes that potential exists for expense reduction synergies as a result of the proposed merger. In particular, Geac expects to reduce staffing at Extensity where appropriate to eliminate duplicative functions or expense. These reductions are expected to occur throughout most functional areas within Extensity’s operations. Geac also expects to significantly reduce or eliminate expenses associated with Extensity operating independently as a public company, including legal, accounting, investor relations and insurance expense. Geac plans to consolidate facilities where appropriate and to reduce Extensity’s rent expense. The parties also expect to consolidate sales and marketing programs to focus on Geac’s large customer base and eliminate duplicative efforts and expense. As a result of these anticipated synergies, Geac believes that the business opportunities available to the two companies combined will be greater than those available to the two companies operating separately.

Extensity’s Reasons for the Merger

      Extensity’s board of directors has determined that the proposed merger is advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Extensity and its stockholders and caused Extensity to enter into the merger agreement. Extensity’s board of directors took into account a number of factors in its deliberations concerning the merger, including, but not limited to, the following:

  •  information concerning the financial performance and condition, results of operations, competitive position, management and business of Geac and Extensity before and after giving effect to the merger, such as the business and financial prospects of Extensity were it to remain an independent company in light of the continued consolidation of the software applications industry compared to the expanded business and financial prospects of a combined organization, which led Extensity’s board of directors to conclude that the opportunity to receive Geac common shares or cash would provide Extensity’s stockholders with a better chance of realizing a return on their investment than Extensity would as an independent company;
 
  •  current financial market conditions and historical market prices, volatility and trading information with respect to Geac common shares and Extensity common stock, such as the adverse impact on Extensity’s stock price and trading volume related to the sharp decline in Extensity’s revenues, the relative stability of the Geac share price compared to the Extensity stock price, the greater trading volume of Geac shares relative to the trading volume of Extensity stock and the fact that Extensity was trading below $1.00 per share at the time which raised the possibility of a NASDAQ delisting and negatively impacted Extensity’s ability to rely on the equity markets to raise additional capital, if needed, which led Extensity’s board of directors to conclude that Extensity stockholders were more likely to benefit more from receiving cash and/or Geac common shares in the merger than from retaining their ownership of Extensity common stock;
 
  •  the fact that Extensity stockholders will be able to elect to receive either cash or Geac common shares, subject to the terms and limitations described in this proxy statement/prospectus, in exchange for their Extensity shares;
 
  •  the fact that, after the merger, Extensity stockholders who receive cash for their Extensity shares will not be subject to the risk of fluctuations in the price of Geac common shares;
 
  •  the attractiveness of the fixed cash alternative to electing Geac common shares;
 
  •  the combined company would have substantially greater resources than Extensity as a stand-alone company;
 
  •  the combined company would have a broader, more diversified product development pipeline and product base than Extensity as a stand-alone company;

54


Table of Contents

  •  the combined company would have increased marketing and sales opportunities, including enhanced opportunities in the carrier and OEM markets in light of the combined company’s pipeline of products and prospects for product introductions in the next several years;
 
  •  the complementary product pipelines of the two companies;
 
  •  the enhanced financial profile of the combined company, which should better position the combined company to negotiate corporate partnerships and pursue licensing opportunities and potential strategic acquisitions than could Extensity alone;
 
  •  the consideration Geac will pay or issue in the merger in light of comparable merger transactions, representing, at the time of announcement, a premium of 84% over Extensity’s market value immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed merger (in the case of the US$1.75 per share cash merger price) and a premium of 87% (in the case of the 0.627 Geac common share per share of Extensity common stock merger exchange ratio), which premiums the Board considered to be comparable to those achieved by target companies in similar transactions;
 
  •  the larger market capitalization of the combined company, which should help to maintain or improve growth or value opportunities for Extensity stockholders;
 
  •  the belief that the terms of the merger agreement, including the parties’ respective representations, warranties and covenants, and closing conditions, are reasonable and that the prospects for successful consummation of the transaction are good;
 
  •  the analyses of Extensity’s management, financial advisors and legal advisors, which provided significant information to Extensity’s board of directors regarding Geac’s business and financial condition;
 
  •  operations, technology, legal matters and possible synergistic opportunities for the two companies;
 
  •  the financial presentation of Broadview made to Extensity’s board of directors on August 23, 2002, setting forth among other things several valuation methodologies, some of which placed the proposed transaction with Geac lower than the median value and the range of values with respect to such methodologies relative to comparable merger transactions, but which allowed the board to consider the proposed transaction in multiple contexts and which collectively and in conjunction with the other factors considered by the board, supported the transaction;
 
  •  the opinion of Broadview to the effect that, as of August 23, 2002, and based upon and subject to various considerations set forth in the opinion, the total merger consideration in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Extensity common stock; and
 
  •  the fact that Extensity had explored a number of strategic alternatives to the merger, including other opportunities to merge or consolidate or remain independent.

      The Extensity board of directors also considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the merger, including:

  •  the risk that the potential benefits of the merger may not be realized;
 
  •  the fact that the proposed exchange ratio is fixed and will not change with increases or decreases in the market price of either company’s stock before completion of the merger, and the possibility that the Canadian dollar value of a Geac common share at the closing of the merger may be more or less than the Canadian dollar value of a Geac common share at the time of the signing of the merger agreement;
 
  •  the general difficulties of integrating products, technologies and companies;
 
  •  the loss of control over the future operations of Extensity following the merger;
 
  •  risks associated with Geac’s product development pipeline;

55


Table of Contents

  •  the risk that the public announcement of the merger may reduce Extensity’s sales, disrupt customer relations and harm operating results if the merger were perceived as detrimental to Extensity or Geac;
 
  •  risks associated with the fact that Geac is a competitor of some of Extensity’s customers;
 
  •  the risk of management and employee disruption associated with the merger, including the potential loss of key Extensity employees critical to the ongoing success of Extensity’s product development;
 
  •  the fact that the proposed consideration to be paid or issued by Geac in the merger was less than the median value and the range of values implied by certain valuation methodologies utilized by Broadview in comparing the proposed transaction to selected other merger transactions;
 
  •  the fact that the merger agreement requires Extensity to obtain Geac’s consent in order to take a variety of actions, which restricts Extensity’s management prior to the completion of the merger, and could have harmful repercussions if the merger were not completed;
 
  •  the risk that the merger may not be completed in a timely manner, if at all, notwithstanding the voting agreements obtained from holders representing beneficial ownership, excluding any shares issuable upon the exercise of options, of approximately 25% of Extensity common stock as of August 26, 2002;
 
  •  the fact that the voting agreements and prohibition on solicitation and related provisions in the merger agreement would discourage third parties from seeking to negotiate a superior proposal for the acquisition of Extensity; and
 
  •  the other risks described above under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24.

      This discussion of information and factors considered by the Extensity board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but is intended to summarize all material factors considered by the Extensity board of directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Extensity board of directors, including the various valuation methodologies prepared by Extensity’s financial advisors, the Extensity board of directors did not find it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered. However, Extensity’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits of the merger outweighed the potential negative factors and that, overall, the proposed merger had greater potential benefits for Extensity’s stockholders than other strategic alternatives. After taking into account all of the factors set forth above, the Extensity board of directors unanimously agreed that the merger agreement and the merger were fair to, and in the best interests of, Extensity’s stockholders and that Extensity should enter into the merger agreement.

Recommendation of Extensity’s Board of Directors

      After careful consideration of all of the factors set forth above, the Extensity board of directors unanimously approved and adopted the merger and the merger agreement and has determined that the merger and the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Extensity and its stockholders. The Extensity board of directors unanimously recommends that Extensity stockholders vote FOR adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

      In considering the recommendation of Extensity’s board of directors with respect to the merger agreement and the merger, Extensity stockholders should be aware that certain directors and officers of Extensity have interests in the merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of Extensity stockholders generally. See the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Extensity’s Officers and Directors in the Merger.”

Opinion of Extensity’s Financial Advisor

      Pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of May 21, 2002, Broadview was engaged to act as financial advisor to the Extensity board and to render an opinion to the Extensity board regarding the fairness of the

56


Table of Contents

merger consideration, from a financial point of view, to Extensity stockholders. The Extensity board selected Broadview to act as financial advisor based on Broadview’s reputation and experience in the information technology, communication and media sector. At the meeting of the Extensity board on August 23, 2002, Broadview delivered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of August 23, 2002, based upon and subject to various factors and assumptions, the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to Extensity stockholders.

      Broadview’s opinion, which describes the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Broadview, is attached as Appendix B to this document. Extensity stockholders are urged to, and should, read the Broadview opinion carefully and in its entirety. The Broadview opinion is directed to the Extensity board and addresses only the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Extensity common stock as of August 23, 2002. The Broadview opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Extensity common stock as to how such holder should vote on the merger or whether such holder should elect to receive cash or Geac common shares. The summary of the Broadview opinion set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, although materially complete, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

      In connection with rendering its opinion, Broadview, among other things:

  •  reviewed the terms of the draft of the merger agreement furnished to Broadview by Extensity on August 23, 2002;
 
  •  reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other information of Extensity and Geac, respectively;
 
  •  reviewed certain financial projections for Extensity and Geac prepared and provided to Broadview by Extensity and Geac management, respectively;
 
  •  participated in discussions with Extensity and Geac management concerning the operations, business strategy, financial performance and prospects for Extensity and Geac, respectively;
 
  •  discussed the strategic rationale for the merger with Extensity and Geac management, respectively;
 
  •  reviewed the reported closing prices and trading activity for Extensity common stock and Geac common shares, respectively;
 
  •  compared certain aspects of the financial performance of Extensity with other comparable public companies;
 
  •  reviewed equity research analyst reports covering Extensity and Geac;
 
  •  analyzed available information, both public and private, concerning other comparable mergers and acquisitions;
 
  •  analyzed the anticipated effect of the merger on the future financial performance of Geac;
 
  •  assisted in negotiations and discussions related to the merger among Extensity, Geac and their respective financial and legal advisors; and
 
  •  conducted other financial studies, analyses and investigations as Broadview deemed appropriate for purposes of its opinion.

      In rendering its opinion, Broadview relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all the financial and other information, including without limitation the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement, that was publicly available or furnished to Broadview by Extensity, Geac or Geac’s advisors. With respect to the financial projections for Geac examined by Broadview, Broadview assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Geac, as to the future performance of Geac. With respect to the financial projections for Extensity examined by Broadview, Broadview assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best available estimates as to the future performance of

Extensity. Broadview neither made nor obtained an independent appraisal or valuation of any of Extensity’s or Geac’s assets.

      Broadview’s opinion was rendered solely with respect to the merger consideration, and Broadview expressed no opinion as the fairness or value of any particular form or combination of consideration available in the merger to holders of Extensity common stock. Without limiting the foregoing, Broadview’s opinion did not take into account any tax or other individual considerations that may impact a stockholder’s decision as to which form (or combination) of consideration to receive in the merger.

      For purposes of the opinion, Broadview assumed that neither Extensity nor Geac is involved in any material transaction other than the merger, other publicly announced transactions, if any, and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting their respective businesses. The opinion was based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of August 23, 2002, and any change in such conditions could require a reevaluation of Broadview’s opinion. The Broadview opinion did not express any opinion as to the price at which Geac common shares would trade at any time.

      The following is a brief summary of some of the sources of information and valuation methodologies employed by Broadview in rendering Broadview’s opinion. These analyses were orally presented to the Extensity board at its meeting on August 23, 2002 and delivered with the opinion on August 26, 2002. This summary includes the financial analyses used by Broadview and deemed to be material, but does not purport to be a complete description of analyses performed by Broadview in arriving at its opinion. Broadview did not explicitly assign any relative weights to the various factors of analyses considered. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Broadview, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

      Extensity Stock Performance Analysis — Broadview compared the recent stock performance of Extensity with that of the NASDAQ Composite and the Extensity Comparable Index. The Extensity Comparable Index is comprised of public companies that Broadview deemed comparable to Extensity. Broadview selected seven public company comparables in the North American Employee Relationship Management industry, with trailing twelve month (“TTM”) revenue between US$15 million and US$100 million. The Extensity Comparable Index consists of the following companies: Saba Software, Inc.; The Ultimate Software Group, Inc.; Concur Technologies, Inc.; Click2Learn, Inc.; Evolve Software, Inc.; Niku Corporation; and Docent, Inc.

      Public Company Comparable Analysis — Broadview considered ratios of market capitalization, adjusted for cash and debt when necessary, to selected historical and projected operating results in order to derive multiples placed on a company in a particular market segment. In order to perform this analysis, Broadview compared financial information of Extensity with publicly available information for the companies comprising the Extensity Comparable Index. For this analysis, as well as other analyses, Broadview examined publicly available information, as well as a range of estimates based on equity research analyst reports.

      The following table presents, as of August 23, 2002, the median multiples and the range of multiples for the Extensity Comparable Index of total market capitalization (defined as equity market capitalization

      No company utilized in the public company comparables analysis as a comparison is identical to Extensity. In evaluating the comparables, Broadview made numerous assumptions with respect to the North American Employee Relationship Management industry performance and general economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of Extensity. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the median, average, or range, is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable company data.

      Transaction Comparables Analysis. Broadview considered ratios of equity purchase price, adjusted for the seller’s cash and debt when appropriate, to selected historical operating results in order to indicate multiples strategic and financial acquirers have been willing to pay for companies in a particular market segment. In order to perform this analysis, Broadview reviewed a number of transactions that it considered similar to the merger based on market focus, business model, and size. Broadview selected these transactions by choosing transactions since January 1, 2001 involving sellers in the North American Administrative Enterprise Resource Planning and Employee Relationship Management Application Industries with TTM revenue less than US$100 million, excluding equity investments and divestitures. For this analysis, as well as other analyses, Broadview examined publicly available information, as well as information from Broadview’s proprietary database of published and confidential merger and acquisition transactions in the information technology, communication and media industries. These transactions consisted of the acquisition of:

  Skillsoft Corp. by Smartforce PLC;
  Skills Village Inc. by PeopleSoft Inc.;
  Alysis Technologies Inc. by Pitney Bowes Inc.;
  Micro Information Products by Sage Group PLC; and
  Deltek Systems by a management buyout group.

      Broadview also reviewed a number of transactions that it considered similar to the merger from an industry and financial point of view. Broadview selected these transactions by choosing transactions since January 1, 2001 involving public sellers in the North American Software industry with cash equal to 50% or more of equity consideration at the time of announcement of the transaction, excluding equity investments and divestitures. These transactions consisted of the acquisition of:

  Netspeak Corp. by ADIR Technologies, Inc.;

      No transaction utilized as a comparable in the transaction comparables analysis is identical to the merger. In evaluating the comparables, Broadview made numerous assumptions with respect to the North American Administrative Enterprise Resource Planning and Employee Relationship Management Application industries’ performance and general economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of Extensity or Geac. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the average, median, or range, is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data.

      Transaction Premiums Paid Analysis. Broadview considered the premiums paid above a seller’s share price in order to determine the additional value strategic and financial acquirers, when compared to public stockholders, are willing to pay for companies in a particular market segment. In order to perform this analysis, Broadview reviewed a number of transactions involving North American Software Sellers from January 1, 2001 to August 23, 2002 with equity consideration between US$10 million and

      No transaction utilized as a comparable in the transaction premiums paid analysis is identical to the merger. In evaluating the comparables, Broadview made numerous assumptions with respect to North American Software industry performance and general economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of Extensity or Geac. Mathematical analysis, such as determining the average, median, or range is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data.

      Exchange Ratio Analysis. Broadview reviewed the ratios of the closing prices of Extensity common stock divided by the corresponding prices of Geac common shares over the period from August 23, 2001 through August 23, 2002 in contrast with the exchange ratio defined for the merger. Based on this analysis, the historical exchange ratio has ranged from 0.2596 to 1.8168 with an average of 0.5998.

      Geac Stock Performance Analysis. Broadview compared the recent stock performance of Geac with that of the NASDAQ Composite and the Geac Comparable Index. The Geac Comparable Index is comprised of public companies that Broadview deemed comparable to Geac. Broadview selected nine public companies in the North American Enterprise Resource Planning Software market with revenues between US$50 million and US$1 billion in the last twelve months. The North American Enterprise Resource Planning Software public companies consist of:

  J.D. Edwards & Company;
  Infinium Software, Inc.;
  The Ultimate Software Group, Inc.;
  Mapics, Inc.;
  Lawson Software, Inc.;
  Frontstep, Inc.;
  QAD Inc.;
  Epicor Software Corporation; and
  American Software, Inc.

      Evaluation of Geac Equity. Broadview compared financial information of Geac with publicly available information for companies comprising the Geac Comparable Index. For this analysis, as well as other analyses, Broadview examined publicly available information, as well as a range of estimates based on equity research analyst reports.

      Pro Forma Combination Analysis. Broadview calculated the pro forma impact of the merger on the combined entity’s projected earnings per share for Geac’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2003, taking into consideration various financial effects which will result from the consummation of the merger. This analysis relies upon certain financial and operating assumptions provided by equity research analysts and publicly available data about Extensity and Geac. Broadview examined a purchase scenario under the assumption that no opportunities for cost savings or revenue enhancements exist. Based on this scenario, the pro forma purchase model indicates a decrease of US$0.04 for earnings per share, excluding acquisition, non-cash, and extraordinary one-time charges, for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2003.

      Consideration of the Discounted Cash Flow Methodology. While discounted cash flow is a commonly used valuation methodology, Broadview did not employ such an analysis for the purposes of this opinion. Discounted cash flow analysis is most appropriate for companies that exhibit relatively steady or somewhat

62


Table of Contents

predictable streams of future cash flow. For a company such as Extensity, a preponderance of the value in a valuation based on discounted cash flow will be in the terminal value of the entity, which is extremely sensitive to assumptions about the sustainable long-term growth rate of the company. Given the uncertainty in estimating both the future cash flows and a sustainable long-term growth rate for the company, Broadview considered a discounted cash flow analysis inappropriate for valuing Extensity.

      In connection with the review of the merger by the Extensity board, Broadview performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses. The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Broadview in connection with the merger.

      The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Broadview considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it. Furthermore, Broadview believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

      In performing its analyses, Broadview made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Extensity or Geac. The analyses performed by Broadview are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. The exchange ratio and other terms of the merger agreement were determined through arm’s length negotiations between Extensity and Geac, and were approved by the Extensity board. Broadview provided advice to the Extensity board during such negotiations; however, Broadview did not recommend any specific consideration to the Extensity board or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger. In addition, Broadview’s opinion and presentation to the Extensity board was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Extensity board in making its decision to approve the merger. Consequently, the Broadview analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Extensity board with respect to the value of Extensity or of whether the Extensity board would have been willing to agree to a different consideration.

      Upon consummation of the merger, Extensity will be obligated to pay Broadview a transaction fee of US$400,000. Extensity has already paid Broadview a fairness opinion fee of US$500,000. In addition, Extensity has agreed to indemnify Broadview and its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses related to their engagement, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The terms of the fee arrangement with Broadview, which Extensity and Broadview believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between Extensity and Broadview, and the Extensity board was aware of the nature of the fee arrangement, including the fact that a significant portion of the fees payable to Broadview is contingent upon completion of the merger.

Interests of Extensity’s Directors and Officers in the Merger

      When considering the recommendation of Extensity’s board of directors that Extensity’s stockholders adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger, you should be aware that some Extensity directors and officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or are in addition to, your interests. The Extensity board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts and considered them. More specifically:

      Upon completion of the merger, based on the number of shares of common stock of Geac and Extensity outstanding on February 5, 2003, it is anticipated that the directors and executive officers of Extensity and their affiliates will beneficially own less than one percent of the then outstanding Geac common shares, calculated on the basis set forth under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Extensity.”

      As of January 31, 2003, the executive officers and directors of Extensity held outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,541,127 shares of Extensity common stock. Of the foregoing, 1,916,323 options have an exercise price greater than, or equal to, US$2.15, and the remaining 624,804

63


Table of Contents

options have an exercise price equal to, or less than, US$1.50. Pursuant to the merger agreement, all 624,804 of these outstanding options to purchase Extensity common stock with an exercise price equal to, or less than, US$1.50, will be assumed by Geac if and to the extent not exercised before the merger and such options will continue to vest and be exercisable according to their terms; however, such options shall be exercisable for Geac common shares after the merger. All of the 1,916,323 outstanding options to purchase Extensity common stock with an exercise price equal to, or greater than, US$2.15 will become fully vested and immediately exercisable prior to, and contingent upon, the completion of the merger. All of the 1,916,323 options to purchase Extensity common stock held by Extensity’s directors and executive officers subject to accelerated vesting as a result of the merger have an exercise price that is greater than the recent trading price of Extensity common stock, which has traded between US$1.65 and US$1.83 during the period beginning August 27, 2002, the day after the merger was publicly announced, and ending on February 5, 2003, the record date for the special meeting of Extensity stockholders. Unless exercised, these options will terminate and be cancelled prior to the completion of the merger.

      In connection with the merger, Elizabeth Ireland, Extensity’s Senior Vice President of Marketing, Mark Oney, Extensity’s Senior Vice President of Engineering, Donald Smith, Extensity’s Senior Vice President of Hosted Operations and Customer Advocacy, and David Yarnold, Extensity’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales have each entered into new employment agreements, which will take effect upon the closing of the merger, providing these four executives with employment with Extensity following the merger. These new employment agreements are described more fully in the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Merger — Employment Agreements.”

      Under Extensity’s Executive Change in Control Severance Benefits Plan, each of Extensity’s executive officers with the title of Senior Vice President or higher is entitled to severance benefits in the event such officer is terminated without cause or is constructively terminated one month prior to or twelve months following the acquisition of Extensity by Geac. These benefits include salary continuation for six months, plus one month for each complete year of continuous service beyond two years, and twelve months’ accelerated vesting of such officer’s stock options that are not exercisable at the effective date of termination. Under the new employment agreements described above, Ms. Ireland and Messrs. Oney, Smith and Yarnold each have waived any entitlement to benefits under the Severance Benefits Plan or under any other agreement between themselves and Extensity. Robert Spinner, Extensity’s Chief Executive Officer, Sharam Sasson, Extensity’s Chairman of the Board, and Jennifer Burt, Extensity’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources, remain eligible for severance under the Severance Benefit Plan. Mr. Spinner is also entitled to six months salary continuation under the terms of his employment agreement in the event he no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of Extensity, reporting to the Extensity board; however, in no event will Mr. Spinner receive an amount greater than the amount allowed under the Severance Benefits Plan.

      Extensity has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers containing provisions that may require Extensity to, among other things:

  •  indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature;
 
  •  advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified; and
 
  •  maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable terms.

      In addition, Geac has agreed to cause Extensity to continue to honor and maintain for a period of six years certain indemnification arrangements in favor of those persons who were, as of August 26, 2002, officers and directors of Extensity and officers and directors of Extensity’s subsidiaries. Extensity’s officers and directors would benefit from this agreement because Extensity may be in a stronger position after the merger to honor any potential indemnification claims than it might have been without having completed the merger.

64


Table of Contents

      Geac has also agreed to cause Extensity to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance that will cover the current officers and directors of Extensity on terms at least as favorable as the current directors’ and officers’ insurance policy maintained by Extensity, provided that the aggregate premiums are not to exceed US$2,500,000. Extensity’s officers and directors would benefit from this agreement as it provides that after the merger Extensity will maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, which Extensity would not be required to do if the merger were not completed, and the continuation of this coverage would protect them from potential future losses that will be covered by such insurance.

      As a result of the foregoing, the directors and executive officers of Extensity may be more likely to vote for the adoption of the merger agreement than Extensity stockholders generally.

Extensity Directors and Officers After Completion of the Merger

      It is currently anticipated that upon completion of the merger, the directors and executive officers of Extensity will be:

         
Name Office to be Held at Extensity Current Position



Paul D. Birch
  Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer   President and Chief Executive Officer of Geac
William G. Nelson
  Director   Director of Geac
Arthur Gitajn
  Chief Financial Officer   Chief Financial Officer of Geac
Elizabeth Ireland
  Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development   Vice President of Marketing of Extensity
Mark Oney
  Senior Vice President of Engineering   Vice President of Engineering of Extensity
Don Smith
  Senior Vice President of Professional Services/ Customer Advocacy and Hosted Operations   Vice President of Hosted Operations and Customer Advocacy of Extensity
David Yarnold
  Senior Vice President of North American Sales   Vice President of Worldwide Sales of Extensity
Hema Anganu
  Treasurer   Treasurer of Geac

Other than Ms. Ireland, and Messrs. Smith, Oney and Yarnold, none of the current directors and officers of Extensity will remain in such positions following completion of the merger.

Completion and Effectiveness of the Merger

      The merger will be completed if and after all the conditions to the merger are satisfied or waived, including the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the Extensity stockholders. The merger will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of the State of Delaware. Geac will issue a press release if and promptly after the merger closes. Geac and Extensity are working toward closing the merger as soon as possible and currently expect the merger to be completed on March 3, 2003. However, the merger is subject to various conditions, and Geac and Extensity cannot predict the exact timing of the closing of the merger or whether the merger will close at all.

Structure of the Merger and Conversion of Extensity Common Stock

      Under the merger agreement, Cage Acquisition Inc., a subsidiary of Geac, will be merged with and into Extensity. The merger subsidiary is a recently-formed Delaware corporation created specifically for the merger with no prior business or history. Geac owns all of the merger subsidiary’s outstanding voting common stock. Shares of the merger subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting redeemable preferred stock, which are held by a third party, will be converted in the merger into preferred stock of Extensity having equivalent rights and privileges, and will remain outstanding following the merger.

65


Table of Contents

      As a result of the merger, the merger subsidiary will cease to exist as a separate entity and Extensity will continue in existence and be operated as a subsidiary of Geac.

     Your Right to Elect Cash or Geac Shares

      You will be entitled to elect to receive either cash or a fraction of a Geac share for each of your Extensity shares. You can make different elections for different Extensity shares and thus receive a mix of cash and Geac shares.

      You must make your election before the close of business on the day before the closing of the merger. See “The Merger — Election as to Form of Merger Consideration; Exchange of Extensity Stock Certificates” for a description of how you must elect between cash and Geac shares, including when your election and stock certificates must be received by the exchange agent in order for your election to be effective. If the exchange agent does not receive a properly completed election for your shares by the deadline described there, you will be treated as having elected to receive cash for any Extensity shares as to which an effective election was not made.

      In this proxy statement/ prospectus, Extensity shares whose owner properly and timely elects to receive Geac shares are referred to as “stock election shares.” Extensity shares whose owner properly and timely elects to receive cash or who fails to deliver a proper or timely election are referred to as “cash election shares.” However, Extensity shares whose holders exercise appraisal rights (see below) are neither stock election shares nor cash election shares, as those terms are used. See the section entitled “The Merger — Extensity Stockholders’ Appraisal Rights.”

     Amount of Cash and Number of Geac Shares

      If there is no working capital adjustment to the purchase price (see below), you will receive US$1.75 for each of your cash election shares, if any, and 0.627 of a Geac share for each of your stock election shares, if any. This 0.627 ratio is referred to in the merger agreement as the exchange ratio. Neither of these figures (the US$1.75 cash price or the 0.627 of a Geac share exchange ratio) will be adjusted upward or downward due to any changes in the Extensity stock price or the Geac stock price.

      Geac will not issue any fractional shares in the merger. Rather, it will combine all the fractional Geac shares that any one Extensity stockholder would otherwise receive for stock election shares (probably determined by book entry or account in the Extensity stock records) and issue a check for the resulting, single, fractional Geac share. Geac will calculate the value of that fraction based on Geac’s closing stock price on the day before the merger closes and the Canadian/ US dollar exchange rate for that day as quoted thereafter in the Wall Street Journal.

     Possible Working Capital Adjustment

      The merger agreement provides for a downward adjustment to the purchase price, with respect both to cash election shares and stock election shares, in the event of a deterioration in Extensity’s adjusted working capital, referred to in the merger agreement as the “Extensity WC,” relative to a standard set forth in the merger agreement. The merger agreement also provides for an upward adjustment in the purchase price with respect both to cash election shares and stock election shares if the Extensity WC is greater than the specified standard. Accordingly, just before the merger is set to close, the parties will determine the Extensity WC and will make whatever purchase price adjustment, if any, is required under the merger agreement.

      The parties will determine the Extensity WC by following a procedure set forth in the merger agreement. This procedure provides that at the closing Extensity’s chief financial officer will deliver a certificate to Geac certifying as to the Extensity WC as of the close of business on the day before the merger is completed. Geac will have the opportunity to ask questions and otherwise reasonably satisfy itself regarding the contents of this certificate.

66


Table of Contents

      The merger agreement defines the “Extensity WC” as the amount equal to Extensity’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables, minus Extensity’s consolidated accounts payable and current accrued liabilities. Extensity will not be charged, under this definition, for certain expenses related to the merger unless they exceed US$1,850,000.

      In the merger agreement, Geac and Extensity agreed that, if calculated in the manner specified therein as of December 31, 2002, the amount of Extensity WC as of such date would have been US$31,297,000. This amount is referred to in the merger agreement as the “Interim Extensity WC.”

      The merger agreement provides that for purposes of calculating the amount of any possible increase to the merger consideration by reason of the working capital adjustment, Extensity WC will not be increased as a result of any change in estimate (whether such change in estimate is effected by way of reversal or omission of an accrual or other item, or in any other manner), which is made in respect of any period beginning after December 31, 2002 and which relates to assets or liabilities that were taken into account in determining the Interim Extensity WC or that are otherwise reflected on Extensity’s balance sheet at December 31, 2002, other than changes in estimates that are made in response to transactions or payments actually made or entered into by Extensity, to actions of third parties or to events or changes of circumstances external to Extensity. The merger agreement also provides that the determination of the Extensity WC shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which the Interim Extensity WC was determined by Geac and Extensity.

      The Extensity WC will then be compared to what the merger agreement calls the “Extensity WC Standard.” The Extensity WC Standard is equal to US$34,019,000 minus a per diem amount for the period beginning and including October 1, 2002 and ending and including the day before the merger closes. That per diem figure is US$50,000 for each day during the first month of each calendar quarter, US$40,000 for each day during the second month of each calendar quarter, and US$10,000 for each such day during the third month of each calendar quarter. For example, if the merger closes on February 15, 2003, the Extensity WC Standard will be US$28,849,000.

      The purchase price payable in the merger will not be adjusted if the Extensity WC is within three percent of the Extensity WC Standard. Accordingly, there is a range, which declines with time, within which changes in the Extensity WC will not affect the purchase price. However, the purchase price will be adjusted downward if the Extensity WC is more than three percent below the Extensity WC Standard and the purchase price will be adjusted upward if the Extensity WC is more than three percent above the Extensity WC Standard. The adjustment (if any) to the cash price payable for each cash election share would be approximately US$0.01 for each US$264,000 by which the Extensity WC is above or below the Extensity WC Standard by more than three percent. The adjustment (if any) to the 0.627 of a Geac share issuable for each stock election share would be approximately 0.004 of a Geac share for each US$264,000 by which the Extensity WC is above or below the Extensity WC Standard by more than three percent.

      The merger agreement limits the maximum number of Geac common shares that can be issued in the merger. Regardless of the magnitude of any Extensity WC Increment, the maximum number of Geac common shares that can be issued in the merger, including shares issuable upon exercise of Extensity stock options that are assumed in the merger, cannot exceed 17,650,000, and the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted if necessary to ensure this result in the event that this number would otherwise be exceeded. Assuming that Extensity stockholders holding an aggregate of 25,199,457 shares of Extensity common stock each elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, and that Geac assumes Extensity options to purchase approximately 911,615 shares of Extensity common stock in the merger, this limit would be reached if Extensity’s working capital at the closing exceeds one hundred and three percent of the working capital standard by approximately US$3.6 million. There is no comparable limit to the maximum amount of cash payable in the merger.

      Extensity has incurred operating losses in each of the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002, and expects to continue to incur operating losses in the near term. If the merger had been completed on December 31, 2002, there would have been no working capital adjustment.

      The following table sets forth the amount of the Extensity WC Increment or Extensity WC Decrement and the resulting cash price and fraction of a Geac common share that would be payable in the merger, based upon a range of assumptions as to the Extensity WC and assuming the merger closes either on February 15, 2003 or, alternatively, on March 15, 2003.

  (1)  The Extensity WC Standard at February 15, 2003, after giving effect to US$5,170,000 in per diem adjustments, will be US$28,849,000.
 
  (2)  The Extensity WC Standard at March 15, 2003, after giving effect to US$5,870,000 in per diem adjustments, will be US$28,149,000.
 
  (3)  Indicates (in the case of an Extensity WC Decrement) the amount by which the assumed Extensity WC is less than 97% of the Extensity WC Standard at the applicable date, or (in the case of an Extensity WC Increment) the amount by which the assumed Extensity WC exceeds 103% of the Extensity WC Standard at the applicable date.
 
  (4)  Assuming that Extensity stockholders holding an aggregate of 25,199,457 shares of Extensity common stock each elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, and that Geac assumes Extensity options to purchase approximately 911,615 shares of Extensity common stock in the merger, the 17,650,000 Geac share limit will be reached if Extensity’s working capital at closing exceeds one hundred and three percent of the working capital standard in effect at the closing by approximately US$3.6 million. This could occur, for example, if the closing were to occur on March 15, 2003 and if on that date the Extensity WC were in excess of approximately US$32.6 million. Geac and Extensity regard such an occurrence as unlikely. There is no comparable limit on the amount of cash payable in the merger.
 
  (5)  Calculated as follows: US$27,000,000 - (US$28,849,000 × 0.97) = -US$983,530.
 
  (6)  Calculated as follows: (US$46,168,889 - US$983,530) / 26,382,222 = US$1.712720.
 
  (7)  Calculated as follows: US$1.71271999 / US$2.79 = 0.613878.
 
  (8)  Calculated as follows: US$27,000,000 - (US$28,149,000 × 0.97) = -US$304,530.
 
  (9)  Calculated as follows: (US$46,168,889 - US$304,530) / 26,382,222 = US$1.738457.

(10)  Calculated as follows: US$1.73845702 / US$2.79 = 0.623103.
 
(11)  The assumed Extensity WC is within three percent of the Extensity WC Standard, and therefore there is no adjustment to the US$1.75 cash price or the 0.627 share exchange ratio.

      At December 31, 2002, Geac had 81,059,942 common shares outstanding. Following the merger, the current stockholders and optionholders of Extensity could own up to an additional 17,650,000 Geac common shares, assuming that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, that all Extensity options assumed by Geac are exercised following the merger, and that, due to a working capital adjustment in Extensity’s favor, the maximum number of Geac common shares permissible under the merger agreement are issued in the merger.

Election as to Form of Merger Consideration; Exchange of Extensity Stock Certificates

      The conversion of Extensity common stock into the right to receive the merger consideration will occur automatically at the effective time of the merger. After the effective time of the merger, Computershare Trust Company, in its capacity as exchange agent, will exchange certificates representing shares of Extensity common stock for merger consideration to be received in the merger.

68


Table of Contents

      At the time this proxy statement/ prospectus is made available to Extensity stockholders, Extensity will mail to each Extensity stockholder an election form and other transmittal materials. Extensity will also make available election forms to each holder of Extensity stock options and each holder of a right to purchase shares of Extensity common stock under the Extensity employee stock purchase plan who exercises that option or right on or before the second business day immediately before the date of the closing of the merger.

      Each election form will allow an Extensity stockholder to make a cash election or stock election, and will permit each stockholder to make different elections with respect to different shares held by such stockholder. Each election form will also address procedures for revoking or changing elections and will indicate the election deadline, which is 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately before the date of the closing of the merger.

      Extensity stockholders who wish to elect the type of merger consideration they will receive in the merger should carefully review and follow the instructions set forth in the election form. Stockholders who hold their shares in “street name” should follow their broker’s instructions for making an election with respect to such shares.

      To make a valid election, each Extensity stockholder must surrender to the exchange agent a properly completed and signed election form, together with the related Extensity stock certificates, so that they are actually received by the exchange agent on or before the election deadline in accordance with the instructions on the election form. The exchange agent and Geac will be authorized in their sole discretion to determine whether an election has been validly and timely made and to disregard what they consider to be immaterial defects. An election form will be properly completed only if accompanied by certificates representing all shares of Extensity common stock covered by the election form or a notice of guaranteed delivery of the shares.

      Generally, an election may be revoked or changed, but only by written notice received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline accompanied, in the case of a change of election, by a properly completed and signed election form indicating the changed election. If an election is revoked, or the merger agreement is terminated, and any certificates have been transmitted to the exchange agent, the exchange agent will promptly return those certificates to the stockholder who submitted those certificates via first-class mail promptly following the termination of the merger or revocation of the election. Stockholders will not be entitled to change or revoke their elections following the election deadline.

      If the exchange agent and Geac determine that any purported cash election or stock election was not properly made, the purported election will be deemed to be of no force or effect and the holder making the purported election will be deemed not to have made an election for these purposes, unless a valid election is subsequently made on a timely basis. Shares of Extensity common stock as to which the holder has not made a valid election prior to the election deadline, including as a result of revocation, will be treated as though the holder had made a cash election.

      If Geac declares a share dividend, share split or other similar change or adjustment in its common shares with a record date before the effective time of the merger, the exchange ratio (determined as set forth above) will be adjusted proportionately to reflect that change or adjustment but such a dividend, split or other change would have no effect on cash election shares. If Geac declares or makes any dividends or other distributions on its common shares with a record date after the date of the closing of the merger to which a holder of record of Extensity common stock who has made a stock election would otherwise be entitled, these dividends or other distributions will not be paid until the holder surrenders his or her Extensity stock certificate or other documentation. After the stockholder surrenders his or her Extensity stock certificates or other documentation, Geac will pay such dividends or other distributions, without interest, to the record holder.

      After the closing of the merger, the exchange agent will deliver to each Extensity stockholder who has properly surrendered his, her or its Extensity stock certificates the amount of cash or Geac share certificates representing the number of full Geac common shares to which they are entitled under the

69


Table of Contents

merger agreement, depending on their elections. The exchange agent will also deliver to these stockholders cash, without interest, in place of any aggregated fractional Geac common share to which they would otherwise have been entitled in the merger in respect of any stock election shares. All payments of cash will be made by check. Unless the exchange agent is instructed otherwise by the holder, each Geac share certificate will be registered in the same name as the surrendered Extensity stock certificate. Geac will issue a share certificate in a name other than this registered name only if the exchange agent is provided with documents that show and effect the unrecorded transfer of ownership and show that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid according to the instructions on the letter of transmittal.

      No transfer of shares of Extensity common stock will be made on the stock transfer books of Extensity after the closing of the merger, and each surrendered Extensity certificate will be cancelled. If certificates representing shares of Extensity common stock are surrendered after the completion of the merger, they will be exchanged for the merger consideration, without interest, into which those shares of Extensity common stock have been converted in the merger.

      Extensity stockholders surrendering their Extensity stock certificates for exchange should carefully follow the letter of transmittal and instructions sent by the exchange agent. Computershare Trust Company can be reached at:

      In order to make a valid election or to receive merger consideration, an Extensity stockholder whose certificate or certificates representing Extensity shares has been lost, stolen or destroyed must complete an affidavit of lost or destroyed certificate following the instructions that accompany the election form. These instructions require, among other things, that the Extensity stockholder furnish to Computershare appropriate evidence as to the loss, theft or destruction of the certificate and the ownership of the certificate by the claimant, and provide appropriate and customary indemnification.

      Neither Geac, Cage Acquisition Inc., Extensity, nor the exchange agent will be liable to any Extensity stockholder or Geac shareholder for any undistributed Geac common shares or cash amounts that are delivered to a public official under applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

      Geac will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the merger consideration otherwise payable to any Extensity stockholder any amounts it is required to deduct and withhold under any federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If Geac withholds any amounts, these amounts will be treated for all purposes of the merger as having been paid to the stockholders from whom they were withheld. If withholding is required from Geac common shares, Geac will be treated as having sold those shares on behalf of their holder for an amount, in cash, equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of the deemed sale and paid the cash proceeds to the taxing authority.

Accounting Treatment

      Geac will account for the merger in its financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP using the purchase method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Extensity will be recorded at their fair values as of the date of the merger. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Extensity will be included in Geac’ results of operations from the date of the closing of the merger. A final determination of the required purchase accounting adjustments and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Extensity has not yet been made. Accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the

70


Table of Contents

comparative pro forma per share financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are preliminary and subject to change.

Regulatory Approvals

      Geac and Extensity do not expect the merger to be subject to the reporting obligations and statutory waiting period applicable to transactions falling within the jurisdiction of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. However, because the applicability of this Act is based in part on the value, during the 45-day period preceding the closing of the merger, of the Geac common shares that may constitute merger consideration Geac and Extensity will closely monitor their respective trading prices during the period following the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus to Extensity’s stockholders and prior to the closing of the merger. The value of the merger consideration currently is below the Hart-Scott-Rodino reporting threshold, and if it remains below the threshold at any time during the 45-day period preceding the close of the merger, no Hart-Scott-Rodino notification or waiting period will be required. If the value of the merger consideration exceeds the statutory threshold throughout this 45-day period, each of Geac and Extensity may be subject to the reporting obligations and statutory waiting period under this Act. Additionally, at any time before or after the completion of the merger, either the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission could take any action under U.S. antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable, including seeking to enjoin the merger prior to its completion or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of Geac or Extensity before or after the merger. Private parties and state attorneys general may also bring actions under U.S. antitrust laws depending on the circumstances.

Listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange of Geac Common Shares to be Issued in the Merger

      Geac has undertaken to file with the Toronto Stock Exchange an application for listing the Geac common shares to be issued in the merger. The approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange for the listing of the common shares is a condition to the closing of the merger.

Certain U.S. and Canadian Securities Laws Considerations

      The Geac common shares to be issued in the merger are registered under the Securities Act. Those shares will be freely transferable under the Securities Act, except for Geac common shares issued to any person or entity that is an “affiliate” of Geac or Extensity under the Securities Act. Persons and entities that may be considered affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with Extensity. Extensity’s affiliates may not sell their Geac common shares acquired in the merger, except pursuant to:

  •  an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares;
 
  •  an exemption under Rule 145 under the Securities Act; or
 
  •  any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

      Geac and certain stockholders of Extensity have signed lock-up agreements that restricts the ability of those stockholders to transfer Geac common shares received in the merger during the period ending eight months after the merger closes. The transfer restrictions imposed by the lock-up agreements lapse with respect to one-sixth of the Geac common shares the stockholder receives in the merger in six equal monthly installments beginning three months after the merger closes.

      The Geac common shares issued to residents of Canada, if any, pursuant to the merger will be subject to issuance and resale provisions of the applicable securities laws of the province in which the recipient of the Geac common shares is resident. Accordingly, any holder of Geac common shares acquired in the merger should consult with a legal advisor prior to any resale of these shares acquired pursuant to the merger.

Extensity Stockholders’ Appraisal Rights

      If the merger is approved by Extensity’s stockholders and completed, any Extensity stockholders who do not vote in favor of the merger and who have previously taken necessary steps under Delaware law may exercise rights of appraisal under Delaware law, rather than receive the merger consideration in the merger. Under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder who:

  •  holds shares of Extensity’s stock on the date that the stockholder makes a demand in accordance with Section 262 with respect to those shares, which demand must be made before the Extensity stockholders vote on the merger;
 
  •  continuously holds those shares through the effective time of the merger; and
 
  •  has not voted in favor of the merger;

will be entitled to an appraisal by the Delaware Court of Chancery of the fair value of those shares, excluding any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the anticipation or accomplishment of the merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. The surviving corporation in the merger will then be required to pay the stockholder the fair value determined by the court. A stockholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must deliver a written demand for appraisal to Extensity before the vote of Extensity’s stockholders is completed.

      An Extensity stockholder who properly perfects appraisal rights and later withdraws the demand for appraisal will receive merger consideration in the same amount as other Extensity stockholders but, pursuant to the merger agreement, the form of such consideration (i.e., cash, Geac common shares or a combination of both) will be determined in the sole discretion of Geac.

      The provisions of Delaware law governing appraisal rights are complex, and you should study them carefully if you wish to exercise appraisal rights; certain actions, or failure to take certain actions, by a stockholder can prevent that stockholder from successfully asserting these rights, and multiple steps must be taken to properly perfect the rights. See “Appraisal Rights” on page 176 for more detail.

Delisting and Deregistration of Extensity Common Stock After the Merger

      If the merger is completed, Extensity’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

      Set forth below is a discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger applicable to you, as a stockholder of Extensity, if you are a “United States person” as defined for United States federal income tax purposes and you hold your shares of Extensity common stock as a capital asset.

      For United States federal income tax purposes, a “United States person” is:

  •  a United States citizen or resident alien as determined under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
 
  •  a corporation or partnership (as defined by the Code) that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state,
 
  •  an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, and
 
  •  a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and at least one United States person is authorized to control all of its major decisions.

72


Table of Contents

      This discussion is based on the Code, existing and proposed Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative determinations, as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. All of the foregoing are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect, and all are subject to differing interpretation. No advance ruling has been sought or obtained from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. The statements in this proxy statement/prospectus and the legal opinion described herein are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or a court. As a result, none of Extensity, Geac or Cage Acquisition Inc., the merger subsidiary, can assure you that the tax consequences described here will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service or sustained by a court if so challenged.

      This discussion does not address aspects of United States taxation other than United States federal income taxation. It does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may apply to you if you are subject to special rules under the Code, including, without limitation, rules that apply to persons who acquired shares of Extensity common stock as a result of the exercise of employee stock options, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, persons having a “functional currency” other than the United States dollar, persons who hold their Extensity shares as part of a straddle, wash sale, hedging or conversion transaction, and certain United States expatriates. In addition, this summary does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger.

      As a stockholder of Extensity, you are urged to consult and rely on your own tax advisors with respect to the United States federal, state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the merger based upon your particular circumstances.

      It is the opinion of Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe LLP, special tax counsel to Geac, that if more than twenty percent of the merger consideration paid by Geac or Geac Computers, Inc. is paid in the form of cash as a result of Extensity stockholders electing to receive cash or failing to make valid elections, the merger will constitute a taxable acquisition and that even if twenty percent or less of the merger consideration paid by Geac or Geac Computers, Inc. is paid in the form of cash, the merger should constitute a taxable acquisition. In rendering its opinion, Geac’s special tax counsel received and relied upon a certificate from Geac containing representations as to certain factual matters. If any of these representations is inaccurate, the conclusion stated in its opinion could be affected.

      The opinion of Geac’s special tax counsel that even if twenty percent or less of the merger consideration paid by Geac or Geac Computers, Inc. is paid in the form of cash the merger should constitute a taxable transaction is based on certain facts and structural features of the merger, including the fact that outstanding shares of non-voting preferred stock of the merger subsidiary are held by a third party and in the merger those shares will be converted into preferred stock of Extensity and will remain outstanding in the hands of the third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could seek to challenge the treatment of the merger as a taxable acquisition and assert that it should be instead characterized as a tax-free reorganization.

      A stockholder in Extensity should be aware that the degree of certainty that the merger is taxable depends on the amount of the merger consideration that is paid is cash. Geac’s special tax counsel is of the opinion that if more than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac or Geac Computers, Inc. is paid in cash, the merger “will” constitute a taxable transaction, whereas if 20% or less of the merger consideration paid by Geac or Geac Computers, Inc. is paid in cash, the merger “should” constitute a taxable transaction. Special tax counsel is providing a “will” opinion under the first assumption because the result is well established under existing authorities that adequately cover the question. Special tax counsel is able to provide only a “should” opinion under the second assumption because, while counsel believes that the likelihood of the merger being taxable under those circumstances is still substantially greater than “more likely than not,” authority on the precise question is lacking, and the ability of counsel to reach a firm conclusion by analogy to cases that arose in areas other than that of tax-free mergers but that have involved similar legal principles is limited due to conflicts in the ways that courts have resolved those cases.

73


Table of Contents

      The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger if, as we expect, the merger is characterized as a taxable acquisition. We also discuss the material United States federal income tax consequences if the merger is characterized as a tax-free reorganization.

     Taxable Acquisition

      If, as we expect, the merger is characterized as a taxable acquisition, for federal income tax purposes you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between your adjusted tax basis in the shares of Extensity common stock that you exchange for cash or Geac common shares in the merger and the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any Geac common shares that you receive.

  •  Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term gain or loss if, on the date of the merger, your shares of Extensity common stock were held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of individual taxpayers are generally taxed at a maximum federal rate of 20.0%. Capital gain on assets held for one year or less at the time of their disposition is taxed as short-term capital gain at a current maximum United States federal rate of 38.6% for individual taxpayers. Phase-outs of tax benefits, limitations on deductions, and the alternative minimum tax can increase the marginal rates actually payable by particular taxpayers above these levels. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation, as discussed below.
 
  •  The aggregate tax basis of any Geac common shares received by you in the merger (including any fractional share deemed received as discussed below) generally will equal the fair market value of such Geac common shares, measured on the date of the merger.
 
  •  The holding period (for capital gain purposes) for the Geac common shares you receive in the merger will begin the day after the date the merger closes.
 
  •  If you exercise appraisal rights with respect to a share of Extensity common stock and receive a cash payment for such share, you generally should recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and your adjusted tax basis in such share.
 
  •  Capital losses are subject to limitations. To determine the deductibility of capital losses, all capital gains and losses (without distinction between long-term and short-term) incurred during the year must be added together. Any capital losses are deductible only to the extent of any capital gains plus, in the case of non-corporate taxpayers, ordinary income up to US$3,000. Any excess net capital loss may be carried forward into future tax years.
 
  •  Neither Geac nor Extensity will recognize gain or loss in the merger.
 
  •  You may be subject, under certain circumstances, to “backup withholding” at a 30.0% rate with respect to payments made in connection with the merger. Backup withholding generally applies if a stockholder fails to furnish a social security number or other taxpayer identification number (“TIN”); furnishes an incorrect TIN; fails properly to report interest or dividends; or under certain circumstances; fails to provide a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is correct and that the stockholder is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax but merely an advance payment, which may be refunded to the extent it results in an overpayment of tax. Certain persons generally are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and financial institutions.

 
      Tax-Free Reorganization

      If the Internal Revenue Service asserts successfully that the merger should be treated as a tax-free reorganization, then:

  •  you, as a stockholder of Extensity, will recognize no gain or loss upon the conversion of your shares of Extensity common stock into Geac common shares; however, you will recognize gain, but not loss, to extent that you receive cash in exchange for your shares of Extensity common stock;

74


Table of Contents

  •  your aggregate tax basis of the Geac common shares that you receive in the merger in exchange for your shares of Extensity common stock will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of those shares of Extensity common stock, decreased by the amount of cash that you receive in the transaction and increased by the amount of any capital gain that you recognize in the transaction; and
 
  •  your holding period for the Geac common shares that you receive in the merger in exchange for your shares of Extensity common stock will include your holding period for those shares of Extensity common stock.

      THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS BASED ON THE LAW IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/ PROSPECTUS. BECAUSE OF THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF TAX CONSEQUENCES, HOLDERS OF EXTENSITY COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN SUCH TAX LAWS.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

      Set forth below is a discussion of the material Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”) of receiving Geac common shares or cash pursuant to the merger, or of receiving cash upon exercise of statutory dissenters’ rights, generally applicable to Extensity stockholders who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times, hold their Geac common shares as capital property and deal at arm’s length with Geac and Extensity and are not affiliated with Geac or Extensity. This discussion is applicable only to Extensity stockholders who are not and have not been at any time when they held Extensity stock (or any other property exchanged for Extensity stock in a tax deferred transaction) or will hold Geac common shares resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and who do not use or hold and are not deemed to use or hold, the shares of Extensity common stock or the Geac common shares in connection with carrying on business in Canada and for whom the shares of Extensity common stock and the Geac common stock are not “designated insurance property.” (The Extensity stockholders to whom this summary applies are referred to here as “Non-resident Holders.”) This discussion does not apply to a non-resident insurer which carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.

      This discussion is based on the Canadian Tax Act, the regulations thereunder and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CCRA”), all in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion also takes into account proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the Canadian Tax Act publicly released by the Department of Finance Canada prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, although no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This discussion does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein. This discussion is based on the assumption that the Geac common shares will at all times be listed on a prescribed stock exchange for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act (which includes the Toronto Stock Exchange).

      This discussion is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be considered to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular Extensity stockholder. Extensity stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus in their particular circumstances.

Disposition of Shares of Extensity Common Stock

      The disposition of the shares of Extensity common stock and the receipt of cash or Geac common shares pursuant to the merger or the receipt of cash upon exercise of statutory dissenters’ rights will not give rise to tax to a Non-resident Holder under the Canadian Tax Act.

 
Dividends

      Dividends, if any, paid or credited (or deemed to have been paid or credited) on the Geac common shares to a Non-resident Holder will be subject to non-resident withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act of 25% of the gross amount of such dividends (subject to reduction in accordance with an applicable international tax treaty between Canada and the Non-resident Holder’s country of residence). Where the Non-resident Holder is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Convention”), the rate of such withholding tax is generally 15%. Under the Convention, dividends paid to certain religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations and certain pension organizations that are resident in, and generally exempt from tax, in the United States, are generally exempt from Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Provided that certain administrative procedures are observed by such an organization, Geac would not be required to withhold such tax from dividends paid or credited to the organization.

 
Disposition of Geac Common Shares

      A Non-resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-resident Holder on a disposition of a Geac common share, other than to Geac, unless the Geac common share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-resident Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Non-resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable tax treaty or convention. Provided that, at the time of disposition, the Geac common shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the Toronto Stock Exchange), the Geac common shares will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-resident Holder unless, at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition of the Geac common shares, the holder, persons with whom the holder does not deal at arm’s length or the holder together with such persons, owns not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or any series of shares of the capital stock of Geac. For this purpose, the CCRA takes the position that a Non-resident Holder and a person with whom such Non-resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length will be considered to own shares which any such person has a right to acquire.

      Even if the Geac common shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-resident Holder, the Convention will generally exempt a Non-resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Convention from tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain arising on the disposition of a Geac common share unless the value of the shares of Geac at the time of disposition is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

      The following is a description of the material provisions of the amended and restated merger agreement (the “merger agreement”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A. While Geac and Extensity believe this description covers the material terms of the merger agreement, it may not contain all the information that is important to you and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement. You are urged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety.

Structure of the Merger

      The merger agreement provides for the acquisition of Extensity by Geac through the merger of Cage Acquisition Inc., a subsidiary of Geac, into Extensity. As a result of the merger, Cage Acquisition Inc. will cease to exist and Extensity will be the surviving corporation. Shares of the merger subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting redeemable preferred stock, which are held by a third party, will be converted in the merger into preferred stock of Extensity having equivalent rights and privileges, and will remain outstanding following the merger.

Timing of Closing

      The closing of the merger will take place no later than the third business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement (see “Conditions to the Merger” below), unless Geac, Extensity and Cage Acquisition Inc. agree to another time or date. Extensity will file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at the closing. The merger will be effective at the time that the certificate of merger is filed, unless a later date is specified in the certificate of merger and agreed to in writing by Geac, Extensity and Cage Acquisition Inc.

Consideration Extensity Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger

      At the effective time of the merger, Extensity stockholders (other than stockholders exercising rights of appraisal under Delaware law) will have the right, with respect to each of their shares of Extensity common stock, to elect to receive merger consideration consisting of either cash or a fraction of a Geac common share. The actual amount of consideration to be paid to stockholders will not be determined until immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Any Extensity stockholder who does not make a valid election to receive cash or Geac common shares will be treated as having elected to receive cash. Extensity stockholders may specify different elections with respect to different shares held by such stockholders, and thus receive a mix of cash and Geac common shares. For example, a stockholder with 100 shares could make a cash election with respect to 40 of those shares and a stock election with respect to the other 60 shares.

      Cash Election. Each Extensity stockholder who makes a valid cash election, or who fails to make a valid cash election or stock election, will have the right to receive, in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock, an amount in cash equal to US$1.75, subject to possible working capital adjustment. The amount of cash to be received per share of Extensity common stock is determined using a formula contained in the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that each Extensity stockholder who makes a valid cash election, or who fails to make a valid cash election or stock election, will have the right to receive, in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock, an amount in cash equal to the Cash Price.

  •  The “Cash Price” is the amount obtained by dividing (A) US$46,168,889, adjusted by (i) addition of the Extensity WC Increment or (ii) subtraction of the Extensity WC Decrement, as the case may be, by (B) 26,382,222. Assuming no working capital adjustment, the cash price will be equal to US$1.75.
 
  •  The “Extensity WC Increment” is the amount, if any, by which the Extensity WC exceeds 103.0% of the Extensity WC Standard.

77


Table of Contents

  •  The “Extensity WC Decrement” is the amount, if any, by which 97.0% of the Extensity WC Standard exceeds the Extensity WC.
 
  •  The “Extensity WC” is an amount equal to Extensity’s consolidated accounts receivable and cash (including restricted cash), cash equivalents and short-term investments, less Extensity’s consolidated accounts payable and the accrued liabilities included in Extensity’s consolidated current liabilities, each determined as of the close of business on the day before the closing of the merger. For purposes of this calculation, certain merger expenses of up to US$1,850,000 that have been paid or accrued by Extensity through the day before the closing are added back to the Extensity WC and thus will not affect the amount of the merger consideration. In the merger agreement, Geac and Extensity agreed that, if calculated as of December 31, 2002 in the manner specified, the amount of Extensity WC as of such date would have been US$31,297,000. This amount is referred to in the merger agreement as the “Interim Extensity WC.” The merger agreement provides that for purposes of calculating any Extensity WC Increment, the Extensity WC will not take account of any Excluded Adjustment. An Excluded Adjustment is any change in estimate (whether such change in estimate is effected by way of reversal or omission of an accrual or other item, or in any other manner), which is made in respect of any period beginning after December 31, 2002 and which relates to assets or liabilities that were taken into account in determining the Interim Extensity WC or that are otherwise reflected on Extensity’s balance sheet at December 31, 2002, other than changes in estimate that are made in response to transactions or payments actually made or entered into by Extensity, to actions of third parties or to events or changes of circumstances external to Extensity. The merger agreement also provides that the determination of the Extensity WC shall be made on a basis that is consistent with the basis on which the Interim Extensity WC was determined by Geac and Extensity.
 
  •  The “Extensity WC Standard” is equal to US$34,019,000 minus a per diem amount for each day in the period beginning on and including October 1, 2002 and ending on and including the day before the closing of the merger. The per diem deduction is equal to US$50,000 for each day during the first month of each calendar quarter, US$40,000 for each day during the second month of each calendar quarter, and US$10,000 for each day during the third month of each calendar quarter.

      Stock Election. Each Extensity stockholder who makes a valid stock election will receive in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock approximately 0.627 of a Geac common share, subject to a possible working capital adjustment. The number of Geac common shares to be received is determined using a formula contained in the merger agreement, which is summarized below.

      The merger agreement provides that each Extensity stockholder who makes a valid stock election will receive, in exchange for each share of Extensity common stock, a number of Geac common shares equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” is defined in the merger agreement as the number obtained by dividing the Cash Price (determined as described above, after giving effect to any working capital adjustment) by US$2.79. Assuming no working capital adjustment, the Exchange Ratio would be approximately 0.627.

      If there is an Extensity WC Increment and the resulting arithmetic would cause the sum of the total number of Geac common shares issuable in the merger plus the total number of Geac common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options to be granted by Geac in the merger to exceed 17,650,000 Geac common shares, then the Exchange Ratio will be reduced by the amount necessary to assure that such sum equals 17,650,000 Geac common shares.

      Geac will not issue to holders of stock election shares any fractional Geac common shares in connection with the merger. Instead, Geac will pay in cash, rounded to the nearest whole cent, an amount equal to the product of the fractional part of a Geac common shares each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive (taking into account all shares held by such holder) multiplied by the closing price of one Geac common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last trading day before the closing date of

78

the merger, converted to United States dollars at the exchange rate for that day as quoted thereafter in the Wall Street Journal.

      Non-Election Shares. Each Extensity stockholder who makes no election to receive cash or Geac common shares in the merger, or whose election is not made on a timely basis or who otherwise fails to comply with the instructions accompanying this proxy statement/ prospectus will be deemed to have made a cash election, and will be paid an amount in cash as described under “Cash Election” above.

Treatment of Extensity Stock Options

      At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding Extensity stock option will be treated in one of two ways, depending on the exercise price of such option.

      In the case of Extensity options outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger that have an exercise price per share of Extensity common stock equal to or less than US$1.50, each such option will be assumed by Geac and will be converted into an option to purchase Geac common shares, upon the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Each such option will entitle the holder to purchase a number of Geac common shares equal to the number of shares of Extensity common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (determined as described above), rounded down to the nearest whole number of Geac common shares. The exercise price per Geac common share of such assumed option will equal the exercise price for each share of Extensity common stock subject to such option divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

      In the case of Extensity options outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger that have an exercise price per share of Extensity common stock greater than US$1.50, each such option will become fully vested immediately before the effective time of the merger. Extensity will give notice to the holders of such options of such accelerated vesting prior to the effective time of the merger, indicating in such notice that the holder will be given the opportunity to exercise his or her option in whole or in part on or before the second business day immediately before the closing of the merger, contingent upon the closing of the merger. If and to the extent that such option is unexercised prior to the effective time of the merger, the option will terminate at the effective time of the merger in accordance with the terms of the option plan under which such option was granted.

Treatment of Rights under Extensity Employee Stock Purchase Plan

      Extensity will shorten the offering period that would otherwise be in progress on the date the merger closes under the 2000 Extensity Employee Stock Purchase Plan by setting a new exercise date that precedes the day before the closing of the merger. Each participant will have the opportunity to withdraw from the plan and be paid his or her accumulated withholdings under the plan, or to have the accumulated withholdings applied to the purchase of shares of Extensity common stock on the accelerated exercise date in accordance with the plan. Extensity will notify the participants of the plan of this change before the new exercise date.

Elections as to Form of Consideration

      The merger agreement provides that at the time this proxy statement/prospectus is made available to stockholders, Extensity will mail to Extensity stockholders an election form and other transmittal materials. Extensity will also make available election forms to each holder of Extensity stock options and each holder of a right to purchase shares of Extensity common stock under the Extensity employee stock purchase plan who exercises that option or right on or before the second business day immediately before the date of the closing of the merger. See “The Merger — Election as to Form of Merger Consideration; Exchange of Extensity Stock Certificates.”

  •  solicit, initiate, negotiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or announcement of any Extensity acquisition proposal, or take any action or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Extensity acquisition proposal;
 
  •  participate in any discussion or negotiations regarding any Extensity acquisition proposal or furnish any non-public information with respect to any Extensity acquisition proposal;

82


Table of Contents

  •  approve, endorse or recommend any Extensity acquisition proposal; or
 
  •  enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to an Extensity acquisition transaction, with specified exceptions (described below).

      However, in response to an unsolicited Extensity acquisition proposal that the Extensity board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisor) is an Extensity superior offer, Extensity may:

  •  participate in discussions and negotiations regarding the Extensity acquisition proposal;
 
  •  furnish information to the person making the Extensity acquisition proposal to Extensity if that person signs a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive on such person than the confidentiality agreement Geac signed with Extensity; and
 
  •  approve an unsolicited Extensity superior offer.

      In the merger agreement, “Extensity acquisition proposal” is defined to mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal by Geac) relating to any Extensity acquisition transaction.

      In the merger agreement, “Extensity acquisition transaction” is defined to mean any transaction or series of transactions involving any:

  •  purchase from Extensity of, or acquisition by any person or group of persons of, more than 15% of the total outstanding voting securities of Extensity;
 
  •  any tender offer or exchange offer that, if closed, would result in any person or group of persons beneficially owning 15% or more of the total outstanding voting securities of Extensity;
 
  •  any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving Extensity;
 
  •  any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license (other than in the ordinary course of business), acquisition or disposition of more than 15% of the assets of Extensity;
 
  •  any liquidation or dissolution of Extensity; or
 
  •  any of the above transactions or events relating to an Extensity subsidiary.

      In the merger agreement, “Extensity superior offer” is defined as any unsolicited, bona fide written offer, made by a third party, as to which financing is committed to complete any of the following transactions:

  •  a merger or consolidation involving Extensity pursuant to which the stockholders of Extensity immediately preceding the transaction hold less than a majority of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; or
 
  •  the acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or a two-step transaction involving a tender offer followed with reasonable promptness by a cash-out merger), directly or indirectly, of ownership of all of the then-outstanding shares of Extensity common stock on terms (including, without limitation, the conditions to the prospective acquirer’s obligation to close) that the board of directors of Extensity determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment (based on the advice of its financial advisor) to be materially more favorable to the Extensity stockholders than the merger.

      Extensity must advise Geac orally and in writing of any Extensity acquisition proposal, the terms and conditions of such Extensity acquisition proposal, and the identity of the person or group making the Extensity acquisition proposal. Extensity shall keep Geac informed as promptly as practicable in all material respects of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any Extensity acquisition proposal. In addition, as promptly as is practical, Extensity must advise Geac, both

83


Table of Contents

orally and in writing, of any request for non-public information that Extensity reasonably believes could lead to an Extensity acquisition proposal or an Extensity acquisition transaction.

      Except in the circumstances described below, the Extensity board of directors may not withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Geac or to the prospects for completing the merger, the recommendation of the board that Extensity’s stockholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger.

      The Extensity board of directors may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation in favor of the merger agreement and the merger if it receives an Extensity superior offer which is not withdrawn and if the board is advised by Extensity’s outside counsel that to do so is required for the board to comply with its fiduciary duty to Extensity’s stockholders under Delaware law. Extensity must first give 72 hours’ written notice to Geac, specifying the identity of the offeror and the terms and conditions of the Extensity superior offer. During this 72-hour period, Geac will have the opportunity to propose to modify the terms of the merger agreement. The Extensity board must also give Geac at least three business days’ prior notice of any meeting of Extensity’s board of directors at which the board is expected to consider any Extensity acquisition transaction.

      Even if the Extensity board of directors changes or withdraws its recommendation, the merger agreement requires Extensity to hold the special meeting of stockholders to seek approval of the merger. Also, withdrawal, amendment or modification of the Extensity board’s recommendation in a manner adverse to Geac or to the prospects for completion of the merger would constitute a triggering event that would entitle Geac to terminate the merger agreement and to receive a termination fee of US$1.5 million, plus expenses, as more fully described below under “The Merger Agreement — Fees and Expenses.”

Conditions to the Merger

      The obligations of Extensity, Cage Acquisition Inc. and Geac to complete the merger depend upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the following:

  •  the effectiveness of, and the absence of stop order proceedings with respect to, the registration statement that includes this proxy statement/ prospectus;
 
  •  the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger by Extensity’s stockholders holding a majority of Extensity’s outstanding common stock;
 
  •  the approval for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Geac common shares issuable in connection with the merger and pursuant to the exercise of the Extensity options to be assumed by Geac in connection with the merger;
 
  •  the expiration or termination of the waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act;
 
  •  the filing of the certificate of merger;
 
  •  the issuance by governmental and regulatory authorities of all other authorizations, consents, orders and approvals necessary to complete the merger, unless the failure to obtain such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or the results of operations of Geac or Extensity; and
 
  •  the absence of writs, orders, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions or other legal or regulatory restraints prohibiting the merger or seeking to enjoin, restrain or prohibit the merger.

      The obligation of Extensity to complete the merger also depends on the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions:

  •  the representations and warranties of Geac and its merger subsidiary in the merger agreement must be true and correct, except where the failure or failures to be true or correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Geac material adverse effect, as defined in the agreement;

  •  there must have been no Geac material adverse effect; and
 
  •  Geac and its subsidiary must have furnished a certificate or certificates signed by one or more of their respective officers as to their respective compliance with the conditions listed immediately above and as to Geac’s compliance with Canadian securities laws.

      In the merger agreement, a “Geac material adverse effect” is defined as any change, event or effect that is or is reasonably likely to become materially adverse to the affairs, business, operations, assets, financial condition or results of operations of Geac and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. However, none of the following will constitute a “Geac material adverse effect” and none of the following will be taken into account in determining whether a Geac material adverse effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur:

  •  the consequences of the announcement or pendency of the merger;
 
  •  any adverse change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development attributable to conditions affecting Geac’s industry or the U.S. or Canadian economy as a whole;
 
  •  any adverse change in the trading price of Geac common shares, as quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange;
 
  •  any adverse change, effect event, occurrence, state of facts or development arising from or relating to acts of terrorism or war;
 
  •  any adverse change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development arising from or relating to any change in law;
 
  •  the entry of a competitor in Geac’s industry;
 
  •  any effect relating to compliance with the terms of, or taking action required by, the merger agreement or the taking of any action consented to by Extensity;
 
  •  the consequences of any purchase by Geac of Geac common shares or any indebtedness of Geac;
 
  •  the consequences of any payment of dividends or other distributions to Geac shareholders;
 
  •  the consequences of Geac entering into specified types of transactions involving its creation of debt, extension of loans, or incurrence of capital expenditures or liabilities;
 
  •  the consequences of Geac assuming or guaranteeing any obligations of other individuals or entities;
 
  •  the consequences of any sale, transfer, lease, license, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance or disposition of any material properties of Geac other than software licenses in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  the consequences of Geac proposing or implementing a plan to liquidate, dissolve, acquire securities, issue securities, dispose of securities, acquire or dispose of any material amounts of assets, or change Geac’s capitalization; or
 
  •  the consequences of Geac entering into or proposing to enter into any partnership, association, joint venture, joint development, technology transfer or other business alliance.

      The obligations of Geac and its merger subsidiary to complete the merger also depends on the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions:

  •  the representations and warranties of Extensity in the merger agreement must be true and correct, except where the failure or failures to be true or correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not have an Extensity material adverse effect, as defined in the agreement;
 
  •  Extensity must perform and comply in all material respects with all of its agreements and covenants under the merger agreement;

85


Table of Contents

  •  there must have been no Extensity material adverse effect;
 
  •  Extensity must have furnished a certificate or certificates signed by one or more of its officers as to its compliance with the conditions listed immediately above and as to its customer and revenue pipeline as defined in the merger agreement;
 
  •  the holders of no more than seven percent of the outstanding shares of Extensity common stock shall have exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law; and
 
  •  None of Elizabeth Ireland, Mark Oney, Don Smith or David Yarnold shall have expressed an intention to discontinue their employment with Geac (other than due to physical disability or medical condition) or demanded that one or more terms of their respective employment letters be modified.

      In the merger agreement, an “Extensity material adverse effect” is defined as any change, event or effect that is or is reasonably likely to become materially adverse to the affairs, business, operations, assets, financial condition or results of operations of Extensity and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, including an aggregate increase greater than US$500,000 in the consolidated liabilities of Extensity or an aggregate decrease greater than US$500,000 in the book value of the consolidated assets of Extensity. However, none of the following will constitute an “Extensity material adverse effect” and none of the following will be taken into account in determining whether an Extensity material adverse effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur:

  •  the consequences of the announcement or pendency of the merger;
 
  •  any adverse change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development attributable to conditions affecting Extensity’s industry or the U.S. economy as a whole;
 
  •  any adverse change in the trading price of Extensity’s common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market;

Termination

      The merger agreement may be terminated, and the merger may be abandoned, at any time before Extensity and Geac complete the merger, under the following circumstances:

  •  by mutual written consent of Geac and Extensity;
 
  •  by either party if there is an order, decree, injunction, ruling or other action by a court or government entity in effect permanently prohibiting the consummation of the merger;
 
  •  by either party if Extensity’s stockholders do not adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger after a final vote at the special meeting, or if the special meeting is completed without adjournment or postponement and without a final vote having been taken on the merger (provided that Extensity may not terminate for these reasons if the failure to obtain stockholder approval is

  caused by Extensity action or failure to act and such action or failure constitutes a breach by Extensity of the merger agreement);
 
  •  by Geac if any of the following triggering events occurs: (i) the board of directors of Extensity or any committee of its board withdraws, amends or modifies in any manner adverse to Geac or to the prospects for completing the merger, the board’s recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger; (ii) Extensity fails to include in the proxy statement/prospectus for the special meeting the recommendation of its board of directors in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger; (iii) the Extensity board fails to reaffirm its recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger within five days after Geac requests in writing that that recommendation be reaffirmed; (iv) the Extensity board or a committee of that board approves or recommends any Extensity acquisition proposal; or (v) a tender or exchange offer relating to any securities of Extensity is commenced by a third party, and Extensity does not notify its security holders within 10 business days that Extensity’s board of directors unanimously recommends rejection of the tender or exchange offer;

GEAC BUSINESS

Overview

      Geac is a global provider of business-critical software applications and systems. Geac is organized around two business groups: the Enterprise Application Systems, or EAS group, and the Industry Specific Applications, or ISA group. The Enterprise Application Systems group serves global and medium-sized enterprises by providing software systems that form the backbone of their information technology infrastructures. The Enterprise Application Systems group offers enterprise resource planning, or ERP, systems that consist of integrated business applications for accounting, financial administration and human resources functions, as well as systems for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain management. The Industry Specific Applications group provides industry-specific business applications that are used by customers in the restaurant, construction, property management, library and real estate industries, and by government and public safety agencies, to manage their businesses and operations. In fiscal 2002, Geac generated revenue of CDN$719.5 million. The Enterprise Application Systems group contributed CDN$534.4 million in revenue in fiscal 2002, or 74.3% of Geac’s total revenue, while the Industry Specific Applications group contributed CDN$185.1 million, or 25.7% of Geac’s total revenue in the fiscal year.

Industry Overview

      Enterprise resource planning systems, such as those provided by Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems group, form the core of a company’s mission-critical information systems. The need to collect and disseminate to management and employees accurate and timely information has driven, and continues to drive, the growth of enterprise resource planning systems. These systems integrate data and reporting across various organizational functions, including financial reporting, human resources and payroll, manufacturing, procurement, sales and logistics. Integrated enterprise applications systems provide the backbone of an organization’s information technology infrastructure, with which all value-added applications, such as e-commerce, must be integrated. Companies use these systems to improve budgeting, accounting and financial reporting, facilitate efficient management of personnel information, enhance coordination between departments, reduce inventory and shorten product development, manufacturing and delivery cycles.

      Initially, organizations relied on separate software products that were designed to manage data stored on a mainframe computer, with each software application typically providing a different function and serving a different population of end users. In the 1980s, the opportunity emerged to integrate multiple back-office applications into a single solution to address business needs that could not readily be addressed by these stand-alone applications. These business requirements included the need to:

  •  Integrate financial data across the enterprise;
 
  •  Coordinate manufacturing and distribution systems to facilitate production and logistics planning;
 
  •  Standardize human resource systems to enhance control over labor, facilitate the movement of people throughout organizations and enhance workforce management practices, such as time reporting; and
 
  •  Promote uniform practices within, and the flow of commonly accessible financial and operating information across, functional areas.

      New technology such as client/ server computing facilitated rapid growth of integrated enterprise resource planning systems in the 1990s. The scalability, supportability and performance improvements made possible by client/ server and other open systems technologies, based on operating systems such as Unix and Microsoft NT and data management systems such as Microsoft SQL Server, encouraged many organizations to implement enterprise business applications for the first time. Aggressive investment by Fortune 1000 companies in information technology to help them streamline and integrate disparate business processes was followed by demand from small to medium-sized businesses for enterprise-wide software applications.

      As available technology and the needs of the marketplace have continued to evolve, all but the smallest companies must now be able to conduct business online. As a result, enterprise resource planning system vendors have recently begun to extend the capabilities of their products beyond the enterprise to include their customers’ suppliers, customers and other business partners. The advent of this extended enterprise has made it more economically viable for organizations at both ends of the value chain to conduct business electronically than was previously the case, when only very large corporations could afford to build electronic-data-interchange networks for their purchasing, logistics and sales activities. Today, software that is Web-enabled allows businesses to communicate with business partners without having to build dedicated wide-area networks. Early examples of such e-business applications have included software solutions for procurement, supply-chain management and customer relationship management. By integrating such applications with core enterprise applications functionality, enterprise resource planning system vendors can both leverage their existing customer bases for new sales opportunities as well as offer comprehensive e-business solutions to new prospects.

      Over the past several years, growth of the enterprise resource planning system market has slowed as a result of several factors. The enterprise resource planning system market is approaching saturation, as many of the large enterprises that were early adopters of these systems, typically manufacturing and service companies in North America with annual sales of more than US$1.0 billion, have already implemented such systems. Since 2000, growth of investments in enterprise applications, which in the late 1990s was stimulated by Year 2000 remediation projects, has been slowed by a worldwide economic slowdown and a consequent reduction in information technology spending in general. Most companies have been significantly reducing their information technology budgets and many are reluctant to replace existing enterprise resource planning applications with new systems, perceiving the adoption of the latest enterprise application and e-commerce technology as an expensive and potentially disruptive process that may not yield expected returns on investment. Enterprise resource planning system vendors have thus been forced to compete for ever smaller portions of their customers’ shrinking information technology budgets.

      The slowing growth of the enterprise resource applications systems market has adversely affected demand for, and Geac’s revenues from, new licenses of Geac’s enterprise applications systems. However, in this environment of reduced information technology budgets and risk-averse customers, Geac believes it is well positioned to maintain its existing installed customer base and to offer enhanced products and services to its customers. Geac also believes that it has the industry and domain expertise and global presence necessary to support Geac’s customers worldwide, and that many of Geac’s new product initiatives, which are intended to extend the functionality of Geac’s installed software, will enable Geac’s customers to maximize the value of their existing investments in information technology and avoid the expense and disruption of replacing those systems.

Competitive Strengths

      Geac believe that its success in the markets that it serves is attributable to the following key competitive strengths.

  •  Large Installed Customer Base. Geac believes that it has one of the largest installed customer bases in the enterprise software industry. At October 31, 2002, Geac had approximately 18,000 customers in over 90 countries worldwide. No single customer accounted for more than 2% of Geac’s total revenues for fiscal 2002. Annual maintenance contracts and professional services purchased by this large, diverse installed base provide Geac with a relatively predictable and recurring revenue stream. Geac believes that its large customer base also makes it an attractive partner for other software application providers whose products Geac can offer to its existing customers in order to extend the functionality of Geac’s product solutions and to gain additional sources of revenue.
 
  •  Significant Global Presence. Geac is a multi-national company with 55 offices and more than 2,500 employees in 22 countries as of October 31, 2002. Geac’s customers increasingly seek enterprise software vendors that are able to meet their worldwide systems needs. Geac’s global

94


Table of Contents

  network of sales and support operations enables Geac to service Geac’s customers worldwide, and to support them as they expand internationally. Geac also believes that its global presence diversifies its geographic market risk and thereby helps it to withstand difficult market conditions in any particular region of the world.
 
  •  Industry and Domain Expertise. The E Series and M Series systems that form the core of Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems product offerings and that are Geac’s most mature enterprise resource planning system products were introduced in 1972 and 1983, respectively. Geac’s years of experience providing business-critical applications to customers in a variety of industries have equipped Geac with valuable domain expertise in the hardware, operating systems, applications and database technologies used by its customers, their critical business processes and the special requirements of their industries. This expertise better enables Geac to enhance, implement and support its existing products to meet the needs of its customers.
 
  •  Strong Customer Relationships through Extending Product Functionality. Geac believes that its ability to retain customers depends, in large part, upon its ability to respond to their evolving needs and to provide incremental enhancements to the functionality and performance of its software products. Geac seeks to extend product functionality through a combination of internal development and acquisitions, by integrating its products with additional software applications provided by other vendors, and by offering responsive, high quality service and support. These efforts have enabled Geac to extend the life cycle of its existing software products and, Geac believes, have helped it to maintain market share and retain existing customers.

Geac’s Strategy

      Geac’s objective is to enhance its competitive position as a global provider of business critical software applications and systems through the following growth strategies:

  •  Continue to Improve Margins through Operating Initiatives. Geac intends to continue to actively focus on operating initiatives to improve profitability across its product groups. For example, Geac is continuing to streamline its operations by consolidating its back office accounting operations and eliminating surplus facilities. Geac is also reorganizing its key functional areas, such as product development and sales and marketing, by product line rather than regionally. Geac believes this will reduce redundant development efforts and enable it to more effectively manage its resources. In addition, Geac is continuing to evaluate the profitability of each of its product lines and service offerings, with a view to increasing its focus on those product offerings and markets that offer the highest margins.
 
  •  Extend Reach of Enterprise Applications Suite. Geac intends to extend the reach of its suite of integrated applications, particularly in the area of financial management applications designed to help enterprise customers improve their business performance. Geac will seek to acquire, through internal development, strategic relationships and acquisitions, new financial management applications that can be added to its enterprise applications suite to help customers more effectively manage and predict their revenues, control their expenses, plan and analyze their business performance and manage resource portfolios such as assets, personnel or projects. At the same time, Geac is accelerating its efforts to develop a common application framework, based on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition service-oriented architecture, that will enable these new applications to be more readily integrated with Geac’s E Series, M Series, System21, SmartStream and Anael enterprise application systems.
 
  •  Broaden Relationships with Existing Customer Base. Geac believes that as it extends the reach of its enterprise applications suite there exists an opportunity to expand its relationships with existing customers. Geac plans to offer new features, functionality and services that enable its customers to enhance the value of their existing information technology investments while improving their business processes. Many of Geac’s new products were developed in response to evolving customer requirements. This not only increases the likelihood of market acceptance, but also provides Geac

  with new, more advanced products which it can then market to customers with similar software requirements. Geac is also increasing the account management resources that it commits to its highest value accounts in order to increase customer satisfaction and maximize potential sales to these customers.
 
  •  Partner with Best-of-Breed Software Vendors. Geac intends to continue to pursue strategic relationships and alliances with best-of-breed application developers. Geac believes this will enable it to deliver new applications that provide increased functionality to its customers’ information processes and to broaden its revenue stream. By entering into strategic relationships, Geac expects to reduce the amount of its investment in product development that is necessary to offer new functionality to customers, and accelerate the time to market for such new functionality. For example, Geac entered into an alliance with Cognos Corporation, a global provider of business intelligence solutions. Under the alliance, Geac resells the Cognos Finance® solution to Geac’s enterprise customers to assist them in planning and analyzing their business performance, offering these customers a simplified integration framework for the management of their budgeting and accounting consolidation processes.
 
  •  Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. Geac intends to pursue other acquisitions of companies, product lines and assets that Geac believes are complementary to its existing businesses and that will help extend the reach of its applications suite. Geac intends to target companies that provide strong customer aggregation prospects and that, like Extensity, extend the functionality of Geac’s existing Enterprise Application Systems products. Geac will seek acquisition opportunities that it believes would add specific financial management functionality of the kind that is increasingly being requested by its customers, strengthen its domain expertise, enhance its distribution capabilities and extend its global support infrastructure.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

      Geac was founded in 1971. Since the mid-1980s, Geac has been broadening its product portfolio, expanding its customer base and growing its business by acquiring and integrating software companies. By the mid-1990s, Geac had developed a portfolio of software products consisting primarily of discrete, industry-specific applications for vertical niche markets, including the banking, construction and hospitality industries. Geac was also a reseller of computer hardware and provided many of its customers with turnkey solutions, incorporating hardware, operating systems, applications software and related services.

      The acquisition of Atlanta, Georgia-based Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, Inc. and its worldwide affiliates, for CDN$256.5 million in November 1996 represented a turning point in the development of Geac’s business. Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, itself the product of the 1990 merger of McCormack & Dodge Corporation and Management Science of America, Inc., was a supplier of enterprise resource planning software to large and medium sized businesses throughout the world. Its products included its Expert and Millennium suites of enterprise applications for mainframe computers and its SmartStream suite of client-server enterprise applications for mid-range and PC-based networks of computers. With the acquisition of Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, Geac tripled its revenues and transformed itself into a global supplier of enterprise software applications. Geac’s Dun & Bradstreet Software Services acquisition was the foundation for the development of the Enterprise Application Systems group and the products and services it acquired from Dun & Bradstreet Software Services form the core of Geac’s present Enterprise Application Systems group’s product offerings.

      Since the Dun & Bradstreet Software Services acquisition, Geac has acquired 28 businesses and grown its revenue from CDN$201.5 million in fiscal 1996 to CDN$719.5 million in fiscal 2002, for a compound annual growth rate of 23.6%. The largest of these acquisitions was Geac’s acquisition of JBA Holdings plc, or JBA, for September 1999 for CDN$261.9 million, consisting of CDN$228.2 million of cash and CDN$33.7 million of restructuring provisions. JBA was a supplier of enterprise resource planning software headquartered in the United Kingdom. Its products included the System21 enterprise application suite for the IBM AS/400 server (now known as the IBM e-server iSeries), which was marketed globally

96


Table of Contents

to mid-size companies, and country-specific enterprise applications systems that JBA marketed primarily in France and Germany. This acquisition significantly expanded the breadth of Geac’s enterprise application offerings and increased Geac’s installed customer base and geographical presence, particularly in the United Kingdom and Europe.

      Geac has also expanded its Enterprise Application Systems business through smaller, tactical acquisitions that provided opportunities to aggregate customers or add complementary products and technologies. For example, in March 2000, Geac acquired Run Time A/ S, a Danish supplier of visual product configuration software for the apparel, footwear, textile and furniture industries for CDN$24.6 million. Geac initially integrated Run Time’s innovative technology with Geac’s System21 product, which was already widely deployed in those industries. Geac now markets the Run Time product on a stand-alone basis both to users of Geac’s enterprise resource planning systems and to others.

      Geac has also built the Industry Specific Applications group largely through acquisitions. For example, Geac assembled the core of its restaurant applications business by purchasing assets of Fasfax Corporation in fiscal 1995, acquiring Control Transaction Corporation in fiscal 1996 and assets of Tranti Systems, Inc. in fiscal 1997, and purchasing Remanco International, Inc., in fiscal 1999, for an aggregate purchase cost of CDN$6.7 million. Through these acquisitions, Geac developed a set of integrated solutions, including software applications and proprietary hardware (such as touch screen point-of-sale terminals), for automating both fast-food and table-service operations. In April 1999 Geac acquired a state-of-the-art client-server restaurant back office system, along with a talented development team, through the purchase of the assets of Phoenix Systems Limited for CDN$1.9 million. By integrating all of these elements, Geac is now able to offer operators of restaurant chains a comprehensive restaurant management software solution, including point-of-sale, back-office and inventory control capabilities. The other businesses in the Industry Specific Applications group have also largely been built through a series of acquisitions.

      Geac continually evaluates the performance of acquired businesses and products and seek opportunities to divest those that no longer meet Geac’s goals for revenue growth and profitability. For example, in July 2000 Geac sold the assets related to the Enterprise Application Systems group’s SmartStream Reconciliations product, a back-office transaction reconciliation system for banks and financial institutions, for CDN$159.2 million. Included in the sale was a company called Management Data GmbH and its international affiliates, which Geac acquired for CDN$42.3 million in May 2000 in order to package and sell the business together with the Smartstream Reconciliations sale. This divestiture resulted in a CDN$96.0 million gain. In fiscal 2001, Geac also disposed of the Industry Specific Applications group’s hotel management systems business for CDN$1.6 million, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, Geac sold its publishing systems business for CDN$1.5 million.

      In September 1999, Geac acquired JBA Holdings Plc for CDN$261.9 million, consisting of CDN$228.2 million of cash and CDN$33.7 million of restructuring provisions. For a variety of reasons, the return on Geac’s investment from the acquisition of JBA has been disappointing. The principal factor was a greater than expected decline in revenues from software licenses and professional services in fiscal 2001. Much of this occurred after January 1, 2000, as Year 2000-related engagements were concluded and not replaced. This decline in Year 2000-related expenditures coincided with a period of worldwide economic uncertainty, which resulted in reduced spending on information technology generally. Geac also encountered unexpected difficulties and costs in integrating JBA’s business and its financial reporting and other systems, as well as unanticipated customer commitments, which were costly to resolve. Since the acquisition, Geac has strategically consolidated or discontinued certain JBA product lines. During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, Geac’s management reviewed the carrying value of the intangible assets acquired in the JBA acquisition, including acquired software and goodwill, and wrote off CDN$229.1 million of these intangible assets after concluding that the value of these intangible assets was impaired. Geac also recorded an CDN$11.4 million pre-tax provision for the settlement of legal claims, the majority of which related to contract disputes inherited with the acquisition of JBA.

      During fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002, Geac did not make any material acquisitions. Instead, Geac concentrated on completing the integration of its prior acquisitions and on implementing a series of initiatives designed to enhance its management team, improve its profitability and cash flow, repay its bank debt, strengthen its balance sheet and realign its development, sales and marketing efforts.

      With these initiatives substantially underway, Geac now intends to selectively pursue other acquisition opportunities, product lines and assets that offer strong customer aggregation potential and that, like Extensity, can extend the functionality of Geac’s existing Enterprise Application Systems products. Geac believes such extensions of the functionality of its enterprise resource planning systems will enhance the value of Enterprise Application Systems customers’ existing investments in Geac’s enterprise applications, and increase customer satisfaction and retention. This, in turn, should help generate maintenance contract renewals, professional services engagements and the sale of new software licenses.

Products and Services

     Enterprise Applications Systems

      The Enterprise Application Systems group serves large, often global, enterprises, as well as smaller, middle market companies. Enterprise Application Systems products include cross-industry business applications for accounting, financial administration and human resources functions, as well as enterprise resource planning systems for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain management.

      The Enterprise Application Systems products are designed to enable Geac’s customers to standardize the management of information throughout the enterprise. This facilitates performance comparisons between different sites, offices, countries, product lines, brands, and profit centers. Geac believes the Enterprise Application Systems products help businesses to reduce inventories and working capital and improve productivity and efficiency by providing accurate and flexible reporting, production planning and scheduling systems.

      At October 31, 2002, the Enterprise Application Systems group had approximately 6,100 customers, including approximately 50% of the Fortune 100 companies. Geac provides enterprise solutions to customers in a variety of industries, including apparel, textile and furniture manufacturing and retailing, auto-parts manufacturing, financial services, food and beverage processing and retailing, healthcare and local government administration.

      Depending on the specific product, Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products run on a number of hardware platforms, including mainframe and mid-range computer and client/ server architectures, and use industry-standard databases such as IBM’s DB2, Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server.

      Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products offer simple, consistent user interfaces, flexible reporting options and sophisticated analytical tools, including third party solutions provided by Geac’s alliance partners. These reporting and analysis tools enable Geac’s customers to analyze information contained within their enterprise management systems as they require. Geac also designs its systems to be easily integrated with its customers’ other business applications, as well as with new, best-of-breed applications as they emerge, enabling customers to extend the functionality of their Geac enterprise resource planning systems and to maximize the value of their existing information technology investments.

      The Web extensions incorporated in Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products support Geac’s customers by facilitating communication and transactions with their customers, suppliers and other business partners. Customers can use the e-commerce functionality offered in Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products to reduce costs and attain more effective management control, while at the same time decentralizing business processes. The systems offered by the Enterprise Application Systems group are Web-enabled to permit anytime-anywhere browser-based access. As a result, users with Web access can access and input data via the Internet using a standard Web browser. This allows business

Table of Contents

processes to be made faster and more efficient. For example, Geac’s customers can use Geac’s Web-enabled self-service applications to:

  •  facilitate their sales processes by enabling their customers to check product prices and availability online;
 
  •  allow their employees to update their own personal data in the customer’s employee benefits system, increasing convenience and relieving human resources managers of administrative tasks; and
 
  •  empower their employees to procure necessary goods and services when they need them by using e-procurement features available in Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products.

      Geac’s principal Enterprise Application Systems products include:

      E Series and M Series. Geac’s E Series and M Series products, formerly known as Geac’s Expert and Millennium products, are integrated suites of financial, human resource and procurement applications designed to run on mainframe computers, including the IBM S/390 and e-server zSeries. Large and mid-sized enterprises in more than 35 countries, primarily in North America and Europe, use Geac’s E Series and M Series products, which are available in English, French and Spanish language versions. The industries that use Geac’s E Series and M Series products most widely include financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and education. Seven of the ten largest companies in the Fortune 500 use Geac’s E Series or M Series products.

      One customer that has used Geac’s M Series products to strengthen its accounting and administrative infrastructure is National Australia Group, a large financial institution based in Australia. National Australia implemented Geac’s M Series product to migrate disparate systems to a centralized mainframe after National Australia Group increased its presence in the British Isles through a series of acquisitions. These acquisitions required National Australia Group to create a common accounting infrastructure and a central data processing facility for shared group functions in Europe. The benefits that National Australia Group reports having achieved from its implementation of Geac’s M Series product include use of a common chart of accounts and reporting system, which have enabled it to reduce administration costs, and the replacement of multiple systems with a single, centralized facility, which has saved overhead and maintenance costs. National Australia Group now has a central purchasing function, using Geac’s M Series purchase order module, which enables it to take advantage of volume discounts and economies of scale. The M Series system processes over 80,000 transactions a day for the various business units. National Australia Group reports that on stand-alone machines, a regular update formerly took between 12 and 14 hours, while on a single enterprise server running Geac’s M Series software, the process takes a fraction of the time.

      System21. System21 is a fully integrated suite of financial, manufacturing, customer service and logistics and service management applications based on the mid-range IBM e-server iSeries (formerly known as AS/400) platform. Geac’s System21 products are used by companies worldwide, particularly in the food and beverage, apparel and shoe manufacturing, automotive parts manufacturing and electronics industries.

      Geac’s experience working with users of Geac’s System21 product in these industries have enabled it to tailor Geac’s products to the specific needs of customers and, in many cases, to develop industry-specific versions of Geac’s System21 product. For example:

  •  Geac’s System21 Drinks system, widely deployed in the beverage industry, incorporates specialized features required by liquor producers and importers that operate across multiple jurisdictions. These include the ability to handle the complex tax and regulatory requirements that apply to bonded warehouses, and to manage excise tax issues that are specific to the beverage industry.
 
  •  Geac’s System21 Style product, a fully integrated distribution and manufacturing solution for the apparel and footwear industries, offers apparel manufacturers and retailers a complete end-to-end solution, with applications that address design, product lifecycle development and definition,

  sourcing, manufacturing, contract and stock management, customer services, customer relationship management and retail.

      Jiangsu Senda Group, a large footwear and shoe manufacturer in China, selected Geac’s System21 Style product for the implementation of an enterprise resource planning initiative designed to help them maintain their market position and lay the foundations for their global expansion. Geac believes that its strong industry focus was a primary factor in Jiangsu Senda Group’s selection of Geac’s products. Jiangsu Senda Group is planning to use Geac’s products in many aspects of their operations, including planning, production, sales, marketing, distribution and financial control.

      SmartStream. SmartStream is a suite of financial, procurement and human resource solutions that can be deployed on a local area network or wide area network or on a Web-based infrastructure using the Windows NT or Unix operating systems and Microsoft SQL and Sybase SQL databases in a two-tiered client-server architecture. Hundreds of companies use SmartStream, ranging from large global enterprises to mid-sized and smaller businesses, primarily in North America and Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the Asia Pacific region and in South America. The industries in which SmartStream is most widely deployed include banking, insurance and other financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, government and education.

      An example of a customer that uses Geac’s SmartStream product is Societe Generale, one of the largest banks in France, with 64,600 employees and 3,200 branches worldwide. Societe Generale wanted to rebuild its in-house financial system in order to implement a state-of-the-art solution that would meet the new technical and functional requirements of the then-approaching euro changeover. After conducting extensive technical and functional studies, Societe Generale chose Geac’s SmartStream product in 1998 to help rebuild its integrated accounting and financial client/server system. Societe Generale reports that SmartStream is now the backbone of its central office accounting system, with 200 users, 200,000 annual invoices, 12,000 active suppliers and euro 1.3 billion in annual payments.

      Anael. Anael solutions is a fully integrated suite of financial, accounting, human resources, e-commerce and customer relationship management applications, consisting of eleven products and services based on the IBM iSeries platform, as well as Windows NT and Windows 2000. Nearly 1,900 customers, primarily in France, as well as in 33 other French-speaking countries, use Anael solutions at April 30, 2002.

      The Concorde Hotels Group owns 82 hotels located in the center of major business and tourist locations worldwide, including the Hotel Crillon and Hotel Lutétia and four other hotels in Paris, making them the leading luxury hotel operator in the French capital. The Concorde Hotels Group chose Anael financial to run its entire accounting operation. The Concorde Hotels Group reports that the Geac solution has enhanced the reliability and the level of service offered to its 82 hotels. Geac believes Anael financial was chosen because of its scalability, its ease of integration with other software, and Geac’s ability to implement the solution in less than six months.

The group’s advanced store management and executive information software systems enable the group’s customers to meet high volume transaction management needs.

      One example of a customer that has used Geac’s restaurant applications to improve its efficiency is Wagamama, a noodle restaurant company with 14 locations in the United Kingdom and Europe serving over 50,000 customers a week. Wagamama implemented Geac’s new mPOS (mobile Point of Sale) system, a Microsoft Windows® Powered® mobile solution using Compaq’s iPAQ Pocket PC H3650 and a wireless local area network. Wagamama reports that Geac’s mobile solution has significantly improved the efficiency and speed of its table ordering service.

Product Development

      Geac believes that the ability to deliver new and enhanced products to customers is critical to its future success. In particular, Geac believes that its research and development efforts can strengthen relationships with customers by increasing the functionality of their existing installed systems, enabling them to avoid having to upgrade to different, new systems, which may not be Geac systems. Geac has historically developed products through a consultative process with existing and potential customers. Geac expects that continued dialogue will result in incremental enhancements to existing products and the development of new products. Geac intends to support product development through a combination of internal development, strategic partnerships with other software providers and acquisitions of suitable businesses and product lines.

 
Enterprise Application Systems Group Product Development

      Geac seeks to increase the functionality of the Enterprise Application Systems product line through incremental product enhancements to the core applications, expanded integration capabilities and the continued development of Web extensions to Geac’s existing applications. One important goal of these efforts is to help reduce Geac’s historical levels of customer attrition and increase the likelihood that Geac’s customers will renew their maintenance contracts and add onto their existing Geac systems rather than replacing them with competing products.

      To meet customer expectations, Geac’s systems must share information internally with applications provided by other vendors, as well as externally through Web applications, business-to-business (B2B) exchanges and value added networks. These exchanges and transactions must be real time, online and immediate — conducted anytime, anywhere and without compromise to security or transaction integrity. Geac is continuing to build the Enterprise Application Systems integration framework based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform. This includes making the outward-facing components of Geac’s enterprise applications available through Web services. By focusing Geac’s research and development efforts on the integration of Web extensions and value-enhancing add-on software solutions, Geac believes its can assist customers in improving their business processes through the use of the Internet.

      Selected highlights of the product development efforts in the Enterprise Application Systems group in fiscal 2002 include the following:

  •  Geac delivered new Active Access applications for the E Series and M Series, allowing its customers to access vendor self-service, benefits enrollment and employee self-service applications from anywhere on the Internet via a Web browser. Geac also shipped a new release of its human resources module that accommodates larger payrolls.
 
  •  Geac’s System21 business continued development on its “commerce.connect” initiatives for collaborative supply chain and e-business applications. Geac also began development on a major new release of System21, dubbed “Aurora,” intended to exploit current Java, XML and IBM iSeries technologies.
 
  •  Geac’s SmartStream business delivered new as well as improved releases of Active Access, thus extending access to the core human resources and financial modules to new classes of users who can now connect to SmartStream via the Web to perform vendor self-service, employee self-service, benefits enrollment and requisition and invoice approval functions. SmartStream also provided the latest release of euro currency support.
 
  •  Geac also improved the integration between its SmartStream general ledger product and the FRx® Financial Reporting financial reporting and business analytics application from FRx Software Corp.

 
Industry Specific Applications Group Product Development

      In addition to enhancing the value of Enterprise Application Systems products, Geac intends to continue to add new capabilities and technologies in each vertical market served by Geac’s Industry

102


Table of Contents

Specific Applications products, such as the use of handheld technology and wireless networks that Geac has recently introduced in the products of Geac’s Restaurant Systems group and Geac’s Interealty group.

      Selected highlights of the product development efforts in the Industry Specific Applications group in fiscal 2002 include the following:

  •  Geac’s Restaurant Systems division delivered its mPOS mobile point of sale system based on wireless handheld PCs using the Microsoft Pocket PC operating system as point of sale devices to speed order processing and payment.
 
  •  Geac’s Interealty group delivered its second-generation MLXchange offering for Multiple Listing Service customers in the real estate industry. This brought together several tools for realtors, including Web-enabled listing management, lead capture and client management technology.
 
  •  Geac’s property management division released a new version its eSite product for managing a portfolio of multifamily housing units, to track rental leads, prepare resident applications, collect rents and distribute property management reports.
 
  •  Geac’s Architectural, Electrical and Construction Applications business delivered a new release of StarProject for Notes 2.0, providing collaborative, Web-enabled project management, with full integration with Geac’s StarBuilder® job cost accounting software, for use by construction management companies and contractors.
 
  •  Geac’s Library Systems division delivered its Vubis Smart product, incorporating advanced web-based functionality for searching information and objects, to better manage a library’s collection of books, CDs, DVDs and videos.
 
  •  Geac’s Public Safety division delivered a new version of its EnRoute Law Enforcement Computer-Aided Dispatch software, with enhanced features that allow it to meet the unique requirements of toll highway public safety requirements.

      Consistent with the growth of Geac’s business through acquisitions, Geac’s product development strategy has historically been decentralized, with separate product development centers devoted to each product, in some cases in more than one geographical region. However, Geac intends increasingly to organize its product development efforts by product line rather than operating multiple regional development centers. At October 31, 2002, Geac had 462 product development personnel and 14 development centers in the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Southborough, Markham, Vancouver, Paris, Studley, Tampa, Houston, Brussels, Hertogenbosch, Villingen, Tokyo, Adelaide and Sydney.

      Geac’s product development expenses were CDN$117.3 million in fiscal 2001 and CDN$92.8 million in fiscal 2002. Product development expenses, net of government grants and other amounts recoverable, are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria under US GAAP for deferral and amortization. To date, Geac has not capitalized any product development costs, and have expensed all such costs as incurred.

Sales, Marketing and Account Management

      Geac derives most of its revenues from annual software maintenance contracts and from professional services related to Geac’s software, and as a result, Geac’s sales and marketing efforts are focused on account management and retention of existing customers. Geac believes selling incremental products and services to extend the functionality of its customers’ systems is the most effective way to increase customer retention.

      Geac sells its software and services in North America and internationally through its own direct sales force, which includes separate direct sales organizations for each product group. In smaller markets, or where lower price points or geography make direct sales coverage impractical, Geac augments its own sales force with a network of distributors and value-added resellers. Geac selects value-added resellers for their expertise in meeting the needs of local customers in specific vertical markets. Geac train these resellers on

the use, installation and implementation of Geac’s products. The sales cycle for Geac’s products varies considerably and ranges from two to four months for an entry-level PC-based product in one of Geac’s Industry Specific Applications businesses to a year or more for a fully-integrated enterprise application system in the Enterprise Applications Systems group.

      In the EAS group, Geac’s sales efforts are focused on account management with the primary goal of customer satisfaction and retention. Each customer account has a team managed by a representative focused on building long-term relationships with customers. The account representative also sells incremental products and modules, third-party add-ons and professional services. The team also includes sales engineering personnel who provide technical sales support and assist in implementation of the product and customization of the user interface. In the Industry Specific Applications group, each vertical has direct sales representatives focused on that industry. Geac also makes use of telesales and trade advertising in the Industry Specific Applications group.

      Geac’s sales and marketing group consisted of approximately 374 persons at October 31, 2002 distributed throughout the world, including 265 persons in the Enterprise Application Systems group and 109 in the Industry Specific Applications group.

      Geac’s AppCare remote application management service is intended to relieve customers of the burden of managing the maintenance and support of their Geac enterprise resource planning systems. Geac’s AppCare service supplements or replaces the customer’s information technology staff who would otherwise be dedicated to the routine tasks of maintaining the application, responding to users’ technical questions and problems and generating management reports. With AppCare, the performance of the Geac application can be monitored remotely from Geac’s AppCare service center, where users’ questions and problems can be resolved and product updates installed by Geac’s dedicated staff of trained applications specialists, and key management information can be collected and disseminated to the customer. By outsourcing the management of their Geac enterprise resource planning applications to Geac via AppCare, Geac’s customers are able to free information technology resources to focus on more strategic projects.

      Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems customers require applications that are reliable, scalable and can be easily integrated with other applications. When making investments in new enterprise application systems applications, customers are primarily influenced by vendor and product reputation; expertise and experience in implementing products in the customer’s industry sector; total cost of ownership; ease and speed of implementation; customer support; product architecture; quality, price and performance; product attributes such as flexibility, scalability, compatibility, functionality and ease of use; and vendor financial stability.

      Geac’s principal competitors for new Enterprise Application Systems license sales, as well as for the replacement of Geac’s installed systems in the enterprise application systems market, are Oracle Corp., Lawson Software, PeopleSoft, Inc., SAP AG and J.D. Edwards and Company and Intentia. These large, well capitalized firms have significantly more resources at their disposal than Geac has, and therefore can invest more in research and development, sales and marketing and can sustain price reductions for longer periods than Geac is able to do. Because competitors can easily penetrate the software market, Geac anticipates additional competition. In the enterprise application systems market, large, multinational enterprise resource planning vendors have begun targeting mid-sized businesses as their traditional market of large, multi-national businesses becomes increasingly mature. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, or may in the future establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Geac expects that the software industry will continue to consolidate. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors will emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.

      Given that Geac derive most of its revenue from maintenance and professional services provided to existing Enterprise Application Systems customers, Geac’s competitive strategy is largely based on avoiding customer attrition, protecting long-term relationships with customers and strengthening these relationships by selling add-on products and services that extend the functionality of Geac’s customers’ systems.

      In the market for maintenance and support of Enterprise Application Systems products, Geac competes with third party service providers who support other software vendors’ products. Geac also faces internal competition from the in-house IT departments of Geac’s customers, particularly in industries that are under intense pressure to contain costs, such as the automotive parts manufacturing industry. These customers may choose not to purchase Geac’s maintenance services but rather to support Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems products themselves.

      Cost is the principal factor that motivates customers in deciding to use a third-party maintenance provider or to support Geac’s product themselves. Other competitive factors affecting the purchase of maintenance services include the availability of upgrades for Geac’s products, which generally only Geac can provide, product and industry knowledge, and the ability to provide global support. Geac believes that it is difficult for third-party service providers to offer maintenance programs for Geac’s Enterprise Application Systems software that are as cost effective as Geac’s maintenance services, because these third-party providers do not have the knowledge of Geac’s products or the extensive domain expertise that Geac has, nor do they have access to the source code for Geac’s products.

     Industry Specific Applications

      Geac’s Industry Specific Applications customers require applications that are affordable, easy to use and provide functionality that meets the specific needs of the businesses in which they operate. When making investments in ISA applications, customers in this market are primarily influenced by industry-specific functionality, price and customer support.

Table of Contents

      Competition in the markets served by the Industry Specific Applications group is generally fragmented and each of Geac’s industry-specific product groups faces competition from numerous sources, ranging from large, publicly traded companies that market a broad range of software products to small, privately held software vendors whose businesses are focused on serving a particular vertical market. Geac’s larger Industry Specific Applications competitors often have significantly greater resources than it does, potentially enabling them to invest more in research and development, sales and marketing and can sustain price reductions for longer periods than Geac is able to do.

      Geac expects increased competition in its Industry Specific Applications segment to come from providers of lower-priced shrink-wrapped software, many of which are large, well capitalized software companies. Many of these providers are increasingly tailoring their offerings to specific vertical markets, such as the construction industry, as part of an effort to compete with vendors of more expensive integrated applications designed specifically for these industries. In addition, as the market for mid-range enterprise application systems becomes increasingly saturated, providers of general purpose integrated enterprise application systems products are also re-packaging their products and targeting specific vertical markets.

Intellectual Property

      Geac has relied, and expects to continue to rely, on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish, maintain and protect Geac’s proprietary rights. Upon discovering misuse of Geac’s technology, Geac vigorously pursues those who copy or use Geac’s technology without its authorization as part of its efforts to protect its proprietary rights. Despite Geac’s considerable efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of Geac’s products or obtain information Geac regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of Geac’s technology, if required, may be difficult, time-consuming and costly. Geac’s means of protecting its technology may be inadequate.

      Third parties may apply for patent protection for processes that are the same or similar to Geac’s processes or for products which use the same or similar processes as Geac’s products. Third parties may also independently develop similar or superior technology without violating Geac’s proprietary rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and Canada. Furthermore, certain of Geac’s products may be licensed under shrink wrap license agreements that are not signed by licensees and therefore may not be binding under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

      Geac believes that trademark protection is an important factor in establishing product recognition. The extent of Geac’s inability to protect its trademarks from infringement could result in damage to any goodwill associated with Geac’s trademarks. Moreover, Geac may be unable to use or to prevent others from using one or more of Geac’s trademarks due to successful third-party claims.

      Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and legal protections, including patents, are applied to software products. Although Geac believes that its products and technology do not infringe proprietary rights of others, litigation may be necessary to protect Geac’s proprietary technology, and third parties may assert infringement claims against Geac with respect to their proprietary rights. Any claims or litigation can be time-consuming and expensive regardless of their merit. Infringement claims against Geac could cause product release delays, require Geac to redesign its products or enter into royalty or license agreements, which agreements may not be available on terms acceptable to Geac or at all.

Employees

      As of October 31, 2002, Geac employed 2,586 people worldwide, including 1,824 in the Enterprise Application Systems group and 762 in the Industry Specific Applications group. Of these employees, 376 are in sales and marketing, 712 are in customer support, 661 are in professional services, 462 are in research and development, 318 are in finance and administration and 57 others are in miscellaneous

Table of Contents

operations. Of these employees, 1,345 are located outside of North America, primarily in Europe. None of Geac’s employees is represented by a labor union (other than by statutory unions or workers’ committees required by law in some European countries). Geac has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations with employees to be good. Geac operates in a rapidly-evolving, advanced information technology market in which highly skilled professionals are a scarce resource. Attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce is a continuing challenge for all high technology companies, including Geac.

Properties

      Geac’s corporate headquarters are located in Markham, Ontario, where Geac has occupied space since 1973. Geac currently has a lease for 25,200 square feet of space at 11 Allstate Parkway, Suite 300, Markham, Ontario, for a term expiring April 30, 2005. In addition to Geac’s corporate headquarters, Geac’s business is conducted most significantly from leased offices and facilities in the United Kingdom in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and in the United States in Southborough, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia. Geac and its subsidiaries operate 52 other offices and facilities in 22 countries around the world. These offices and facilities are operated under leases of varying duration, with no lease extending beyond 2014.

      In addition, Geac owns real estate in the United Kingdom and the United States. Geac Computer Systems UK Limited owns three properties in Studley, Warwickshire, United Kingdom, which support the operations of Geac’s System21 business. All three of these properties are currently encumbered by a mortgage granted to the Bank of Scotland. Geac Computers, Inc. owns real property in Tampa, Florida and in Nashua, New Hampshire. Interealty Corporation owns property in Decatur, Georgia, which houses a multiple listing book publishing operation. The Florida, New Hampshire and Georgia properties are free and clear of liens.

Legal Proceedings

      On May 8, 2001, Cels Enterprises, Inc. filed a complaint against Geac Computer Corporation Limited and Geac Enterprise Solutions, Inc. claiming that Geac breached its contract with Cels by providing experimental software that did not work. Cels was a JBA customer and paid JBA approximately US$400,000. The complaint alleges US$28.3 million in damages but provides no specifications as to how that figure was derived. On May 10, 2001, JBA filed a complaint against Cels Enterprises, Inc. alleging that JBA is owed US$241,000 for goods and services provided to Cels, and claiming an additional US$81,000 for the improper employment by Cels of a former JBA employee. The claim has been dismissed as against Geac Computer Corporation Limited.

      On March 21, 2002, Grace Consulting, Inc., a provider of software maintenance and consulting services, filed a lawsuit against Geac Enterprise Solutions, Inc. and Geac Computer Corporation Limited claiming antitrust violations and seeking approximately US$75 million in damages.

      Geac believes this lawsuit is based on facts and circumstances substantially similar to Grace’s claims in an earlier lawsuit. In 1995, before its acquisition by Geac, Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, Inc. filed a complaint against Grace Consulting claiming copyright infringement. Grace Consulting asserted counterclaims against Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, Inc. for violations of antitrust law, tortious interference with contract and breach of contract. On September 24, 2002, the United States Circuit Court for the Third Circuit granted judgment for Geac Enterprise Solutions against Grace on Geac Enterprise Solution’s claims of copyright infringement against Grace, reinstated Geac’s claim for theft of trade secrets against Grace and affirmed the dismissal of Grace’s counterclaims of antitrust, tortious interference with contract and breach of contract against Geac Enterprise Solutions.

      Geac believes that the claims raised in Grace’s March 2002 antitrust action are similarly without merit. However, there can be no assurance that Geac will be successful in defending against these new claims.

      Geac is subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of Geac’s business, including pending actions not described above.

GEAC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      We provide the following discussion and analysis to enhance your understanding of Geac’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes. You should read this discussion in conjunction with Geac’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. References in this Geac Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us” or “we” refer to Geac and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

      The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements concerning Geac that involve risks and uncertainties. Geac’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and in the “Risk Factors” section included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

      Geac is a global provider of business-critical software applications and systems. We are organized around our EAS group and our ISA group. Our EAS group serves global and medium-sized enterprises by providing software systems that form the backbone of their information technology infrastructures. Our EAS group provides enterprise resource planning systems, consisting of integrated business applications for accounting, financial administration and human resources functions, as well as systems for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain management. Our ISA group provides industry-specific business applications that are used by customers in the restaurant, construction, property management, library management and real estate industries, and by government and public safety agencies, to manage their businesses and operations. We also resell third party software and hardware products, for use in conjunction with our software products, where appropriate to provide our customers with more complete solutions.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 
      Sources of Revenue

      We derive our revenues from sales of maintenance contracts and professional services related to our software and, to a lesser extent, from sales of new software licenses and computer hardware.

      Maintenance services accounted for CDN$416.0 million, or 57.8% of our total revenues in fiscal 2002. Maintenance services include the right to receive product upgrades and technical support by telephone, fax, e-mail and Internet. Maintenance contracts are typically priced as a percentage of the software license fee and are subject to periodic renewal, generally on an annual basis. As a result, maintenance revenues are recurring in nature and are relatively predictable, as the majority of our customers who purchase new licenses of our software typically also initially purchase maintenance contracts, and historically most customers have renewed their maintenance contracts as they expire.

      Professional services revenues accounted for CDN$149.1 million, or 20.7% of our total revenues in fiscal 2002. Professional services include technical consulting, implementation and integration services, remote application management services and training. Revenues from professional services are more predictable and stable than revenues from new product licenses. This is because professional services typically involve projects that extend over multiple quarters with revenue recognized as services are performed. Also, professional services are often generated in connection with new software license sale or follow a competitive bidding process in which we have participated and of which we therefore have advance notice.

      Sales of new software licenses, including licenses of third party software products that we resell to our customers where appropriate to provide them with a more complete solution, accounted for CDN$83.7 million, or 11.6% of our total revenue in fiscal 2002. Sales of new software licenses are the culmination of a sales cycle that typically extends from two to four months, in the case of an entry-level product of one of our ISA businesses, to 12 to 18 months in the case of an integrated enterprise resource

108

planning system sold by our EAS group. The timing of new software license sales is often difficult to predict. Particularly in our EAS group, delay in the consummation of a small number of large license transactions in any quarter can contribute significantly to fluctuations in our revenue from quarter to quarter.

      We offer sales of computer hardware, such as IBM e-server iSeries (formerly AS/400) servers, for use in conjunction with our software systems where appropriate to provide a more complete solution. Computer hardware sales accounted for CDN$52.0 million, or 7.2% of our total revenue in fiscal 2002.

      Maintenance and professional services represent relatively predictable and recurring revenue sources that reduce our dependency on other, more variable sources of revenue, such as the sale of new software licenses. We believe that we are substantially less dependent on new software license revenues than are many other vendors of enterprise resource planning systems software. However, the high percentage of our revenues derived from maintenance and professional services makes us relatively more vulnerable to the impact on our maintenance contract renewals and on new professional services engagements.

      Attrition in our customer base takes place when existing customers elect not to renew their maintenance contracts and cease purchasing professional services from us. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including a customer’s decision to replace our product with that of a competing vendor, to purchase maintenance or consulting services from a third-party service provider or to forgo maintenance altogether. It can also occur when a customer is acquired or ceases operations.

      To date we have experienced relatively predictable and stable customer attrition, and we have been able in part to replace the revenue lost through attrition with new revenue from maintenance contracts and professional services associated with new license sales and from maintenance contract price increases. However, any factors that adversely affect the ability of our installed systems to compete with those available from others, such as availability from our competitors of products offering more advanced product architecture, superior functionality or performance or lower prices than ours, or factors that reduce demand for our maintenance and professional services, such as intensifying price competition, could lead to increased rates of customer attrition. We closely monitor attrition in our customer base and have devoted, and will continue to devote, substantial resources to reducing the rate of attrition among our customers.

      Acquisitions and Divestitures

      We have grown our business substantially through acquisitions. These acquisitions have enabled us to broaden our product suite, expand our customer base and provide access to new markets. As we acquire and integrate businesses, we also look for opportunities to divest portions of our business that no longer meet our goals for revenue growth and profitability.

      Fiscal 2001. In May 2000, we acquired the business assets of Management Data GmbH of Vienna, Austria, together with the capital shares of 13 of its subsidiaries, for CDN$42.3 million. We held these assets as a temporary investment and subsequently sold them as part of our SmartStream Reconciliations

109


Table of Contents

Systems divestiture on July 13, 2000. After concluding that the functionality of the SmartStream Reconciliations Systems product was not critical to our enterprise resource planning systems product offerings, we had sought and ultimately identified an opportunity to package the SmartStream Reconciliations and Management Data businesses and sell them at a favorable price. From this divestiture, we realized cash proceeds of CDN$159.2 million, and the transaction resulted in a gain of CDN$96.0 million. For more information regarding this divestiture and the related gain, see note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

      In June 2000, we acquired the assets of Praxa Limited’s local government software business for CDN$2.1 million.

      In March 2001, we sold the assets of our ISA group’s unprofitable hotel division for CDN$1.6 million.

      Fiscal 2002. We made no acquisitions during fiscal 2002. In August 2001, we sold the assets of our ISA group’s newspaper publishing applications business for CDN$1.5 million. We had concluded that the market for our high-end integrated publishing solutions was smaller than we had anticipated and was insufficient to support the required development effort and to operate the business profitably.

      Fiscal 2003. Geac announced on August 26, 2002 that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Extensity, Inc. pursuant to which each Extensity stockholder may elect to receive either 0.627 of a Geac common share or US$1.75 in cash (subject to a working capital adjustment) for each share of Extensity common stock. Assuming that synergies and revenue growth attributable to the merger are consistent with Geac’s expectations, and assuming no more than 9.1 million Geac common shares are issued in the merger, Geac anticipates that the Extensity merger will be approximately 10% per share dilutive to its earnings per share in the first twelve months following closing of the merger and accretive to earnings in the following six-month period.

      Geac announced on August 29, 2002 that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the IBM e-server iSeries software assets, customer agreements and employee base of EBC Informatique, a European hardware and software solutions provider, for approximately CDN$3.8 million.

      All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for in our consolidated financial statements under the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations for each of the other entities acquired or divested as described above are included in our net income (loss) from the date of acquisition (in the case of acquisitions), or until the date of divestiture (in the case of divestitures) for all periods presented.

 
      Net Restructuring and Other Unusual Items

      Fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2001 we confronted several challenges, including an industry-wide reduction in demand for software and professional services following the Year 2000 transition. In addition, our fiscal 2001 results were adversely affected by the initiation of a review process whereby we considered the possible sale of all or parts of our company. This created uncertainty among our customers and workforce and adversely affected our revenues. To help mitigate the impact of these issues, we undertook a number of cost reduction initiatives in fiscal 2001 aimed at strengthening our balance sheet and reducing losses. Implementation of these initiatives throughout the year resulted in a year-end headcount reduction of 1,353 employees worldwide, from 5,150 employees at April 30, 2000 to 3,797 worldwide at April 30, 2001. Also, as required by US GAAP, we reviewed the carrying value of our acquired intangibles and goodwill to determine whether any impairment existed. In connection with these initiatives, we recorded CDN$295.9 million of net restructuring and other unusual items in fiscal 2001, including:

  •  the write down of CDN$171.3 million of goodwill and CDN$81.5 million of acquired software;
 
  •  a CDN$28.1 million pre-tax provision for severance, premises rationalization and other restructuring expenditures;
 
  •  an CDN$11.4 million pre-tax provision for the settlement of legal claims, the majority of which related to contract disputes inherited with the acquisition of JBA; and

110


Table of Contents

  •  the write down of CDN$3.6 million of property, plant and equipment.

      During the last half of fiscal 2001, Geac completed a comprehensive review of its acquired software and goodwill. As a result of management’s determination that there was no longer reasonable assurance of their recoverability, CDN$252.8 million of intangible assets and goodwill were written down, of which CDN$229.1 million related to the acquisition of JBA Holdings plc.

      Workforce reduction charges of CDN$21.3 million were related to the cost of severance and benefits associated with the elimination of approximately 1,353 positions from April 30, 2000, to April 30, 2001. The terminated employees were primarily from the support and services, development, sales and marketing and general and administrative areas, and were located in North America and Europe. At October 31, 2002, the workforce reduction provision balance had been drawn down by cash payments to a closing balance of CDN$77,000.

      In connection with the workforce reduction, Geac identified a number of leased facilities, primarily office space, that were no longer required. As a result, Geac recorded net lease costs of approximately CDN$6.6 million, primarily consisting of Geac’s future contractual obligations under operating leases. At October 31, 2002, the provision balance for lease premise restructuring had been drawn down by cash payments to a balance of CDN$261,000. The remaining provision is expected to be substantially drawn down by the end of fiscal 2004.

      Geac recorded a provision for CDN$11.4 million for legal claims related to contract disputes involving JBA Holdings plc. At October 31, 2002, the provision balance had been drawn down by cash settlement payments to a balance of CDN$298,000.

      Property, plant and equipment write-downs of approximately CDN$3.6 million consisted of the write down of computer equipment, office equipment and leasehold improvements that provided no future benefit to Geac as a result of its premises rationalization and other restructuring activities.

      Fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2002, we undertook a comprehensive review of our operations with the objective of reducing costs and increasing effectiveness. As a result of this effort, we have streamlined operations, centralized management of our global enterprise applications, refocused development, and reduced the size of our workforce. We incurred net restructuring and other unusual charges of CDN$45.9 million in fiscal 2002, including:

  •  a CDN$39.6 million pre-tax provision for severance, premises rationalization and other costs related to the restructuring of our business;
 
  •  a CDN$5.4 million net provision for the settlement of legal claims, primarily related to the JBA acquisition;
 
  •  a CDN$4.6 million charge for strategic planning costs;
 
  •  a CDN$2.9 million one-time charge for unamortized financing costs for the credit facility that we terminated in March 2002; and
 
  •  an offsetting CDN$6.9 million net reversal of excess accrued liabilities and other provisions relating to prior acquisitions and restructuring activities.

      Workforce reduction charges of CDN$16.8 million were related to the cost of severance and benefits associated with the termination of approximately 643 employees, primarily from the support and services, general and administrative, development and sales and marketing areas. The workforce reduction was primarily in North America and Europe and extended to both segments of the business. At October 31, 2002, the workforce reduction provision balance had been drawn down by cash payments to a balance of CDN$6.8 million. The remaining provision is expected to be substantially drawn down by the end of fiscal 2003.

      In connection with the workforce reduction, Geac identified a number of leased facilities, primarily office space, that were no longer required. As a result, Geac recorded premises rationalization costs of

111


Table of Contents

approximately CDN$17.7 million, consisting primarily of its future contractual obligations under these operating leases, offset by an estimated sublease amount on leases that could not be terminated. At October 31, 2002, the provision balance for lease premise restructuring had been drawn down by cash payments to a balance of CDN$13.8 million. The remaining provision is expected to be substantially drawn down by the end of fiscal 2006, when the leases expire.

      Property, plant and equipment write-downs of approximately CDN$5.1 million consisted of the write-down of computer and office equipment and leasehold improvements that had been abandoned in the fiscal 2002 restructuring, or previous restructuring actions. Approximately CDN$3.9 million is attributable to the write-down of equipment and leasehold improvements office equipment associated with premises vacated during fiscal 2002 restructuring, or previous restructuring actions. The remaining CDN$1.2 million is attributable to a write-down of equipment due to technological obsolescence.

      In connection with Geac’s review of its operations, Geac engaged the services of outside consultants to assist with its strategic planning. This resulted in charges of CDN$4.6 million, of which CDN$1.9 million was paid in cash in fiscal 2002, and the balance was paid by October 31, 2002.

      During fiscal 2002 Geac terminated its 24-month revolving credit facility prior to its expiration date. This termination resulted in a write-down of CDN$2.9 million of unamortized financing costs related to the credit facility, which has been classified as extinguishment of debt costs.

      A provision for legal claims of CDN$8.1 million was established, primarily related to the JBA acquisition. These claims were offset by a recovery of CDN$2.7 million, resulting in a net cash charge of CDN$5.4 million. At October 31, 2002, cash payments had reduced this provision to a balance of CDN$18,000.

      During fiscal 2002, Geac determined that certain accruals in prior periods were no longer needed for their intended purposes and reversed these accruals. Reversals of CDN$10.9 million related to excess accruals for product commitments and other accrued liabilities which had been recorded in connection with acquisitions by Geac in prior fiscal years. These costs were accrued as part of the costs of the acquisitions, and were allocated to goodwill. In fiscal 2001 the goodwill and intangibles associated with some of these acquisitions, primarily the JBA Holdings plc acquisition, were written down and in fiscal 2002 the Company determined that it was no longer appropriate to carry the full amount of these accruals. As a result, a reversal of CDN$4.0 million was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill, with the remaining accrual balance of CDN$6.9 million being reversed as a credit to net restructuring charges and other unusual items.

      The fiscal 2002 restructuring efforts are expected to result in savings of approximately CDN$70 million in fiscal 2003 and CDN$86 million in fiscal 2004. Primarily as a result of these restructuring efforts, through the first six months of fiscal 2003, support and services costs have been reduced by CDN$26.0 million, sales and marketing expenses have been reduced by CDN$2.0 million, product development expenses have been reduced by CDN$12.7 million, and general and administrative expenses have been reduced by CDN$4.5 million. Excluding CDN$5.5 million in costs and expenses associated with the publishing software business that was sold in fiscal 2002, in aggregate, these costs and expenses have been reduced by CDN$39.7 million, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2002.

      For more information regarding our net restructuring and other unusual items, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 
      Seasonality

      Seasonality can contribute to substantial fluctuations in our revenues and cash flow. Our revenues and operating results in our third fiscal quarter have tended to benefit from spending related to calendar year-end budget cycles. Approximately 40% of our maintenance contracts renew on a calendar year basis. Cash receipts from maintenance contract renewals are typically highest in the third fiscal quarter and lowest in the first and second fiscal quarters. These historical patterns may change over time, however, particularly as our operations become larger and the sources of our revenue change and become more diverse. We also

112


Table of Contents

occasionally experience variability in demand associated with seasonal buying patterns in our foreign markets. For example, our first and second fiscal quarters typically experience reduced sales activity, due in part to the European summer holiday season.

Critical Accounting Policies

      The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of our ongoing evaluation of these estimates forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses, which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

      Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our consolidated financial statements materially and involve a significant level of judgment by management. A summary of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, is set forth in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

      Revenue Recognition. We derive revenues from three sources, software, support and services, and hardware. Support and services include software maintenance and support, training, system implementation, and consulting. Maintenance and support consists of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. We resell computer hardware and peripherals primarily as a service to our customers who look to us to provide a whole product solution. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail. We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In bundled arrangements, we allocate revenue to each element of the arrangement based upon vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE). We use a purchase order or a signed contract as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, hardware and services. Sales through our resellers are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship.

      Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, tape, or diskette, as appropriate. We assess whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Our standard payment terms are generally 30 days. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current credit-worthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment.

      When licenses are sold together with hardware and significant implementation or customization essential to the functionality of the products, services revenues are recognized based on percentage of completion. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue using the percentage of completion method. For time-and-materials contracts, we recognize revenue as services are performed.

      Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract. Amounts billed in accordance with customer contracts, but not yet earned, are recorded as deferred revenue.

      Valuation of Identifiable Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We account for our business acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting. The total cost of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, we must identify and attribute values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired. While we may employ an expert to assist us with these matters, such determinations involve considerable judgment, and

113


Table of Contents

often involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives. These determinations will affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods.

      We review the carrying values of all identifiable goodwill and other intangible assets when certain conditions arise to determine if any impairment has occurred. Examples of these conditions include significant underperformance relative to historical or expected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or our strategy, significant negative industry or economic trends, or significant decline in our share price or market capitalization.

      Effective May 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill, requires annual impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life intangible assets. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has been reduced below its carrying value. Prior to May 1, 2001, goodwill was amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated periods of benefit not exceeding ten years.

      Accounting for Income Taxes. We operate in multiple jurisdictions, and our profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate may be affected by the changes in, or interpretations of, tax laws in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical mix of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters, such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets. As a result of these considerations, we must estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our future tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and establish a valuation allowance for any amounts we believe will not be recoverable. Establishing or increasing a valuation allowance increases our income tax expense.

      Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our income tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our net income tax assets. If actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, our financial position and results of operations could be materially different.

      Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for income tax purposes. Future income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates in the period in which the change occurs.

      Restructuring. We have rationalized certain facilities and effected or planned reductions in the number of our personnel and have established reserves against outstanding commitments for leased properties that we have vacated or plan to vacate and for costs associated with planned layoffs. These reserves are based upon our estimate of triggering events, such as the date of termination or the time required to sublease the property and the amount of sublease income that might be generated from the date we vacate the property and the expiration of the lease. These estimates are reviewed based on changes in these triggering events. Adjustments to the restructuring charge will be made in future periods, if necessary, should different conditions prevail from those anticipated in our original estimate.

      Accounts Receivable. We also estimate the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable, and we maintain allowances for estimated losses. Management analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts,

114


Table of Contents

receivable aging, customer credit-worthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

New Accounting Pronouncements

      On June 15, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2002. This standard requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the year in which the obligation is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and amortized to expense over the asset’s useful life. Geac has not yet assessed the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets and consequently amends APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Geac is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

      In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 13 and Technical Corrections as of April 2002.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Geac is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

      In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which supersedes EITF 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.” Under SFAS 146, an entity’s commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a liability. Under the new rules, exit costs and restructuring liabilities generally will be recognized when incurred. The provision of this statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Comparison of Six Month Periods Ended October 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001

      Revenue. Revenue through the first half of fiscal 2003 was CDN$314.4 million, compared to CDN$362.5 million in the corresponding period last year. Excluding CDN$5.2 million in revenue from the publishing software business, which was sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, revenue would have declined by CDN$42.9 million, or 12.0%.

      Enterprise Applications Systems segment revenue declined by CDN$28.6 million, or 10.7%, composed of the following:

  •  Enterprise Applications Systems software license revenue through the first half of the fiscal year was CDN$26.4 million, compared to CDN$30.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002. The CDN$3.6 million decline in software license revenue is primarily attributable to a CDN$2.6 million sale of local government software distribution rights to Trisilco Group of Malaysia in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, which was not repeated in the current fiscal year.

115


Table of Contents

  •  Enterprise Applications Systems support and services revenue was CDN$190.3 million, compared to CDN$218.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002. Of this CDN$28.6 million decline, Enterprise Applications Systems maintenance revenue declined by CDN$12.7 million, or 8.6%, reflecting expected attrition in maintenance contract renewals for mainframe (CDN$9.3 million) and client server (CDN$5.6 million) applications. This decline was partially offset by an increase of CDN$2.2 million in maintenance revenue for mid-range computer applications. The rate of decline in Enterprise Applications Systems maintenance revenues was within management’s expectations and compares with declines of 7.2% in fiscal 2002 and, excluding the impact of the JBA acquisition, 12.2% in fiscal 2001. Maintenance attrition for mainframe and client server applications reflects the maturity of those product lines, and is largely attributable to customers migrating to newer technology and, in so doing, selecting competitors’ products rather than those of Geac. Attrition in maintenance contract revenues was partly offset by the effects of annual price increases, which vary by product and by application. Annual price increases averaged 6.5% in fiscal 2001 and 6.4% in fiscal 2002, and are expected to average approximately 6.5% in fiscal 2003. Geac expects its Enterprise Applications Systems maintenance revenues to continue to decline for the balance of fiscal 2003 at a rate comparable to that experienced in the first half of fiscal 2003. Other support and services revenue — primarily professional services — declined by CDN$15.9 million, or 22.3%, compared to the corresponding period last year, which benefited from Euro conversion work and several large professional services engagements that have now been completed.
 
  •  Enterprise Applications Systems hardware sales revenue through the first two quarters of fiscal 2003 increased by CDN$3.6 million, or 20.9%, primarily as a result of vendor promotions that accelerated hardware sales in Europe in the first quarter.

      Industry Specific Applications segment revenue through the first half of fiscal 2003 was CDN$77.0 million, compared to CDN$96.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2002. Excluding CDN$5.2 million in revenue from the publishing software business, which was sold last year, Industry Specific Applications revenue would have declined by CDN$14.3 million, or 15.6%. Of this total, CDN$10.0 million was attributable to the Interealty division and reflects a CDN$8.0 million decline in the core MLS application business and a CDN$2.0 million decline in the MLS book publishing business, which had been expected. The decline in revenue from Interealty’s core MLS application business reflects a change in the service and pricing model as the internet has supplanted more costly virtual private networks. This change resulted in lower revenues from existing customers who migrated from our older applications based on virtual private networks to our internet-based MLXchange application, with pricing per seat declining by more than 20% on average. The shift to internet-based products has also reduced barriers to entry and resulted in aggressive competitive pricing from new market entrants, and some customers have opted to migrate from our virtual private networks applications to competitors’ lower-priced internet-based applications. These conditions are expected to persist, and Geac expects revenues of its Interealty division to continue to decline, over the balance of fiscal 2003.

      Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues through the first half of the fiscal year were reduced by CDN$23.3 million, or 14.4%, from CDN$162.6 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2002 to CDN$139.3 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2003. Our gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of total revenues) increased from 55.1% in the first two quarters last year to 55.7% in the first two quarters of fiscal 2003.

  •  The gross software margin declined from 89.8% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 85.8% in the first half of fiscal 2003 as software costs increased by CDN$0.4 million despite a decline in revenues.
 
  •  Support and services margin increased from 53.4% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 56.0% in the first half of fiscal 2003, reflecting a reduction in lower margin professional services and an increase in the proportion of higher margin maintenance revenue.
 
  •  Hardware margins declined from 16.6% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 14.5% in the first half of fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of a single low margin CDN$3.1 million hardware sale to a System21 customer in the U.K.

      Operating Expenses. Net operating expenses were CDN$122.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2003, including the effect of a net restructuring and other unusual items of CDN$1.2 million, compared to CDN$142.2 million in the corresponding period last year, which included the effect of a net restructuring and other unusual items of CDN$0.7 million. The net restructuring and other unusual items in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 were attributable to the reversal of excess accrued liabilities and other provisions related to prior years’ restructuring activities and acquisition related accruals. Excluding from both periods the effect of net restructuring and other unusual gains, operating expenses were reduced by CDN$19.6 million, or 13.7%, as compared to the first half of fiscal 2002 and operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were reduced from 39.4% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 39.2% in the first half this year.

  •  Sales and marketing expenses were reduced by CDN$2.0 million, or 4.3%, primarily as a result of headcount reductions associated with restructuring efforts. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 12.8% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 14.1% in the first half of fiscal 2003, as Geac maintained substantially the same level of investment in marketing despite the decline in revenues for the first half of the year.
 
  •  Product development expenses were reduced by CDN$12.7 million, or 26.9%. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were reduced from 13.0% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 10.9% in the second quarter this year. This reduction reflects more strategically focused development efforts and a CDN$3.3 million reduction in product development overhead expenses.
 
  •  General and administrative expenses were reduced by CDN$4.5 million, or 9.3%. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 13.4% in the first half of fiscal 2002 to 14.0% in the first half of this year. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to a CDN$2.6 million adjustment to increase the amortization of property, plant, and equipment to more accurately reflect the valuation of acquired assets. Excluding this adjustment, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues would have been 13.2% through the first half of fiscal 2003.

      Interest Income/ Expense. Net interest income in the first half of fiscal 2003 was CDN$500,000, compared to net interest expense of CDN$800,000 in the first half of fiscal 2002. This CDN$1.3 million improvement is primarily attributable to a reduction in bank indebtedness, which stood at CDN$20.6 million at July 31, 2001, and which was completely repaid in the second quarter last year.

      Other Income. Other income, in the net amount of CDN$2.4 million is attributable to a CDN$1.3 million gain on the sale of fixed assets and CDN$1.1 million of foreign exchange gains. In the corresponding period last year, foreign exchange gains totaled CDN$1.7 million.

      Income before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes was CDN$55.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2003, compared to CDN$59.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2002. Excluding the effect of net restructuring and other unusual items, income before income taxes declined by CDN$4.1 million, or 7.0%, from CDN$58.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2002 to CDN$54.7 in the first half of fiscal 2003.

      Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was CDN$21.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2003, compared to CDN$25.4 million in the corresponding period last year. Our effective tax rate was 38.6% in the first half of fiscal 2003, compared to 42.7% in the corresponding period last year. Of the total CDN$21.5 million provision for income taxes recorded in the first half of fiscal 2003, CDN$16.7 million reflects utilization of income tax assets, and CDN$4.8 million represents cash taxes.

      Net Income. Net income for the first half of the year was CDN$34.3 million, or CDN$0.43 per diluted share, compared to CDN$34.1 million, or CDN$0.49 per diluted share in the first half last year. Net income as a percentage of revenues was 10.9% in the first half of fiscal 2003, compared to 9.4% in the first half of fiscal 2002.

Comparison of Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001

      Revenue. Revenue for fiscal 2002 was CDN$719.5 million, compared to CDN$837.7 million for the preceding year. Excluding from both periods revenue attributable to the publishing software business, which was sold in August 2001, the hotel software business, which was sold in March 2001, and the SmartStream Reconciliations business, which was sold in July 2000, total revenue declined by CDN$85.6 million, or 10.7%, from CDN$799.7 million in fiscal 2001 to CDN$714.1 million in fiscal 2002. Software license revenue declined by CDN$2.2 million, or 2.6%; support and services revenue declined by CDN$62.3 million, or 9.7%; and revenue from the sale of computer hardware declined by CDN$21.1 million, or 28.8%.

      Revenue in our Enterprise Applications System group was CDN$534.4 million, compared to CDN$593.9 million last year. EAS software licenses to new and existing customers declined by CDN$2.4 million, or 3.7%. Sales of licenses of the System21, Anael and Ratioplan software systems, primarily for mid-range server architectures, that are sold by our JBA subsidiary and its affiliates, declined by CDN$10.6 million. This decline was attributable to the effects in the European market of the continuing worldwide economic slowdown and related reductions in information technology spending, as well as to declining demand attributable to the maturation of the enterprise resource planning systems market generally. The decline in sales of Geac’s mid-range computer applications was partially offset by a CDN$4.5 million increase in revenue from licenses of our E Series and M Series software systems for mainframe computers, and a CDN$3.7 million increase in license revenues from client-server software systems, primarily attributable to a CDN$2.6 million sale of local government software distribution rights to Trisilco Group of Malaysia in fiscal 2002.

      Enterprise Applications System support and services revenue declined by CDN$46.2 million, or 9.7%. Of this CDN$46.2 million decline, Enterprise Applications System maintenance revenue — primarily maintenance contracts purchased by customers of our licensed software — declined by CDN$25.9 million, or 8.1%. This decline was anticipated and is due to attrition in maintenance contract renewals for mainframe (CDN$15.2 million), client-server (CDN$6.9 million), and mid-range (CDN$3.8 million) applications. Attrition in maintenance contract renewals for mainframe and client server applications reflects the maturity of those product lines and is largely attributable to customers migrating to products of Geac’s competitors that offer newer technology. Declining sales of new licenses of Geac’s Enterprise Applications Systems products in prior periods also contributed to the fiscal 2002 decline in maintenance revenues associated with those products. Other Enterprise Applications System support and services revenue — primarily professional implementation and training services — declined by CDN$20.3 million, or 12.7%, as a result of completion of engagements to convert our software applications to the euro currency. Reflecting market conditions, Enterprise Applications System hardware sales revenue declined by CDN$11.0 million, or 21.5%, with CDN$7.9 million of this decline attributable to hardware sales associated with client-server applications.

      Revenue in the Industry Specific Applications segment was CDN$185.1 million, compared to CDN$243.7 million last year. Of this total CDN$58.6 million decline, CDN$18.2 million in revenue is attributable to the sale of our publishing software business, CDN$11.6 million is attributable to the sale of our hotel software business, and CDN$2.8 million is attributable to the sale of our SmartStream Reconciliations business. Excluding revenue from the three businesses, total Industry Specific Applications revenue declined by CDN$26.0 million, or 12.6%, from CDN$205.7 million in fiscal 2001 to CDN$179.7 million in fiscal 2002. Revenue declines in Interealty (CDN$14.6 million), restaurant systems (CDN$9.9 million), and library systems (CDN$7.1 million), were partially offset by revenue increases in our businesses serving public safety agencies (CDN$3.1 million) and the property management industry (CDN$2.2 million). The decline in Interealty revenues reflects significant price pressure in the core multiple listing service application business, the continuing decline in revenue from the MLS book publishing business, which was expected, and slow adoption of Interealty’s MLXchange product. Our restaurant software business was adversely affected by the downturn in the hospitality industry in the second half of fiscal 2002. The decline in library systems revenue reflects discontinuation of a third party data subscription service and delays in the release of Vubis Smart, our next generation Internet-based

118


Table of Contents

information management system, which was introduced in April 2002. Public safety systems revenue increased by CDN$3.1 million as a result of increased software maintenance revenue and a single large implementation of our graphical interface police computer-aided dispatch system; and property management systems revenue increased by CDN$2.2 million, reflecting increasing market adoption of our next generation, Internet-based, multi-family real estate management software. These increases partly offset the declines in our other Industry Specific Applications businesses.

      Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues was reduced by CDN$96.1 million, or 22.7%, from CDN$422.7 million in fiscal 2001 to CDN$326.6 million in fiscal 2002, and our gross profit margin increased from 49.5% in fiscal 2001 to 54.6% in fiscal 2002. Cost of software license revenues, primarily royalties paid to vendors of third-party software, was reduced by CDN$4.3 million, or 27.1%, primarily as a result of a decline in third-party software revenue. Costs of support and services, which consist primarily of personnel and related costs of our support organization, were reduced by CDN$73.1 million, or 21.1%, due to the sale of the publishing software business and reductions in personnel and associated costs to better align costs and revenues. Support and services margins increased from 48.5% to 53.2%, primarily as a result of improved utilization rates. Hardware costs were reduced by CDN$18.8 million, or 30.9%, in line with hardware revenues.

      Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were CDN$325.0 million, compared to CDN$761.8 million last year. Excluding net restructuring and other unusual items, amortization of goodwill, and amortization of other intangible assets, operating expenses were reduced by CDN$68.5 million, or 19.8%, from CDN$345.9 million in fiscal 2001 to CDN$277.4 million in fiscal 2002, and declined as a percentage of revenues from 41.3% in fiscal 2001 to 38.6% in fiscal 2002.

  •  Sales and marketing expenses, which consist primarily of personnel costs and commissions, were reduced by CDN$31.4 million, or 25.2%. Of this reduction, approximately CDN$5.3 million is due to the sale of the publishing software business, and the remainder reflects personnel reductions resulting from more targeted sales efforts. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 14.9% in fiscal 2001 to 13.0% in fiscal 2002.
 
  •  Product development expenses, primarily personnel costs and consultants, were reduced by CDN$24.5 million, or 20.9%, due primarily to reductions in the number of our development personnel resulting from more strategically focused and centralized product development efforts. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were reduced from 14.0% in fiscal 2001 to 12.9% in fiscal 2002.
 
  •  General and administrative costs include personnel costs for executive management, finance and accounting and other administrative functions; associated overheads; and professional fees. General and administrative costs were reduced by CDN$12.6 million, or 12.1%. General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues increased from 12.4% in fiscal 2001 to 12.7% in fiscal 2002. The year over year increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to increased professional fees, composed of both strategic consulting and legal fees. Over the course of the next year, we will be simplifying our organizational structure and consolidating back office general and administrative functions in North America and Europe to achieve greater efficiencies.

      Net Restructuring and Other Unusual Items. Net restructuring and other unusual items were CDN$45.9 million in fiscal 2002, compared to CDN$295.9 million last year, which included a write down of CDN$171.3 million of goodwill and CDN$81.5 million of acquired software, primarily related to the acquisition of JBA. The CDN$45.9 million in net restructuring and other unusual items in fiscal 2002 included a CDN$34.5 million pre-tax provision for severance and premises rationalization related to the restructuring of the business; a CDN$5.1 million write down of assets; a CDN$5.3 million net provision for the settlement of legal claims primarily related to the JBA acquisition; a CDN$4.7 million charge for strategic planning costs; and a CDN$2.9 million charge for unamortized financing costs of a credit facility that, in light of our improved cash position, we terminated in March 2002 to avoid additional costs. These charges were partially offset by a net CDN$6.9 million reversal of excess accrued liabilities and other

119


Table of Contents

provisions relating to acquisitions and restructuring, which were recorded in prior years and which were no longer required.

      Amortization of Goodwill. Effective May 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142, which eliminates the amortization of goodwill, requires annual impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life intangible assets. We have completed a goodwill impairment review in the first quarter and again in the fourth quarter and found no impairment. Accordingly, there were no charges for amortization of goodwill in fiscal 2002, compared to CDN$58.1 million in fiscal 2001. Amortization of other intangible assets, primarily acquired software, was CDN$1.7 million in fiscal 2002, compared to CDN$61.8 million in fiscal 2001. This reduction reflects the write down of JBA software in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

      Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was reduced from CDN$12.6 million in fiscal 2001 to CDN$1.6 million in fiscal 2002. This CDN$11.0 million reduction is attributable to the reduction in bank indebtedness, which stood at CDN$39.4 million on April 30, 2001, and which was completely repaid in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.

      Gain on Disposal of Businesses. Gain on disposal of businesses in fiscal 2001 reflects the sale of Geac’s SmartStream Reconciliations Systems business, including assets and shares of Management Data GmbH which were acquired for the purpose of sale with the SmartStream Reconciliations business, for a net gain of CDN$96.0 million, and of Geac’s hotel software operations, for a gain of CDN$1.3 million. Gain on disposal of businesses in fiscal 2002 reflects Geac’s sale of its publishing software business, for a gain of CDN$5.1 million.

      Income Taxes. As a result of increased profitability, the provision for income taxes was CDN$30.1 million in fiscal 2002, compared to a recovery of CDN$32.9 million in fiscal 2001. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2002 was 41.7%. Of the total CDN$30.1 million provision for income taxes recorded in fiscal 2002, CDN$9.9 million reflects utilization of income tax assets, and CDN$20.2 million represents cash taxes.

      Net Income (Loss). Net income was CDN$42.1 million, or CDN$0.56 per diluted share, compared to a loss of CDN$234.8 million, or CDN$3.78 per share, last year.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

      At October 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents totaled CDN$69.4 million, compared to CDN$115.7 million at April 30, 2002. Excluding from the total at October 31, 2002, an increase of CDN$1.1 million from the effect of exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents declined by CDN$47.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2003.

      Approximately 40% of Geac’s application software maintenance contracts typically renew on a calendar year basis, which corresponds to our third quarter. Accordingly, cash receipts from maintenance contract renewals are highest in the third quarter of the fiscal year and lowest in the first and second quarters, while maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the year. For the first six months of fiscal 2003, cash used in operating activities was CDN$41.3 million. This use of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2003 is primarily attributable to a CDN$55.1 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first six months of fiscal 2003. Of the total CDN$55.1 million reduction, which excludes the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, CDN$25.8 million is attributable to payments associated with restructuring charges, including payments of CDN$9.3 million for legal settlement costs, CDN$11.4 million for severance charges, and CDN$5.1 million in premises restructuring costs. Geac incurred a CDN$41.3 million charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 for net restructuring and other unusual items. These restructuring efforts, which streamlined operations and reduced the size of our workforce, are expected to result in savings of approximately CDN$70 million in fiscal 2003 and CDN$86 million in fiscal 2004 and annually thereafter. As of October 31, 2002, a provision balance relating to the fiscal 2002 restructuring of CDN$20.6 million remained, which Geac expects to draw down by cash payments through the end of fiscal 2006. Other components of the year-to-date CDN$55.1 million

reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities include CDN$10.6 million for accrued bonuses, commissions, and other payroll costs; CDN$5.0 million for professional fees; CDN$2.0 million for sales and property taxes; and CDN$11.7 million in other trade payables.

      For the first six months of fiscal 2003, net cash used in investing activities totaled CDN$4.5 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of CDN$4.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002.

      In the first six months of fiscal 2003, net cash used in financing activities of CDN$1.5 million was due to the repayment of CDN$3.0 million in long term debt, partially offset by CDN$1.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of purchase warrants and from the issuance of common shares from the employee stock purchase plan. In the first six months of fiscal 2002, net cash provided by financing activities was CDN$6.4 million. In addition to CDN$24.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of six million common shares on September 27, 2001, cash provided by financing activities in the first six months last year reflects CDN$17.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of 10 million special warrants at a price of CDN$2.00 per special warrant in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Each special warrant was exercisable for one common share plus one half of a common share purchase warrant. The special warrants were fully exercised on August 1, 2001. Each full purchase warrant entitled the purchaser to acquire one common share of Geac for CDN$2.75 at any time within 18 months of June 29, 2001. Of the five million purchase warrants, 525,000 were exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. In total the issuance of common shares and special warrants generated CDN$42.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002, which was used to fund working capital requirements and to repay bank indebtedness.

      Deferred revenue is composed of deferred maintenance and support revenues, which are recognized ratably over the term of the related maintenance agreement — normally one year — and deferred professional services revenue, which is recognized as such services are performed. Approximately 40% of our maintenance and support contracts renew on a calendar year basis, which corresponds to the third quarter of our fiscal year; accordingly, cash receipts and deferred revenue balances are highest in the third quarter of the fiscal year, while support revenue is recognized ratably over the year and services revenue is recognized as services are performed. Excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, deferred revenue, declined by CDN$59.1 million, or 29.7%, in the first six months of fiscal 2003. During the comparable period last year, deferred revenue declined by CDN$71.2 million, or 29.1%.

      The value of long-term debt (including the current portion), composed of real property mortgages and capital leases, was reduced by CDN$2.0 million, from CDN$11.9 million at the end of fiscal 2002 to CDN$9.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003. This CDN$2.0 million reduction reflects repayments of CDN$3.0 million, offset by a CDN$1.0 million increase from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.

      Geac estimates that the maximum amount of cash necessary to finance the payment of the merger consideration to Extensity stockholders, assuming all such stockholders elect to receive cash in the merger, is approximately CDN$70.9 million. Geac believes that its cash and cash equivalents, and the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of Extensity, will be sufficient to finance this potential cash requirement, and that its cash reserves and liquidity will be adequate even if all Extensity stockholders elect to receive cash in the merger.

Commitments Not Reflected in the Balance Sheet

      Geac does not have derivative financial instruments or any equity interests in unconsolidated companies or any other business arrangements related to the foregoing, which would have a material effect on the assets and liabilities of Geac at October 31, 2002.

      As disclosed in note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements, Geac has commitments that are not reflected in its balance sheet. These commitments include operating leases for office equipment and premises, and letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds that are routinely issued on behalf of insurance companies and other third parties in connection with outstanding performance contracts, primarily with public sector customers. Geac does not have any other business arrangements, derivative

financial instruments, or any equity interests in unconsolidated companies that would have a material effect on the assets and liabilities of the Company at October 31, 2002.

Market Risk

      Financial instruments included in our consolidated balance sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. We treat financial instruments in accordance with the following principles:

  •  Fair values of financial assets and liabilities — the fair values of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are equivalent to their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. There is currently no significant difference between the carrying value and the fair value of long-term debt. We are not a party to any significant derivative instruments.
 
  •  Credit risk — we are subject to credit risk associated with both billed and unbilled receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Receivables are with customers in many diverse industries and are subject to normal industry credit risks. We place our temporary excess cash in high quality short-term financial instruments issued or guaranteed by major financial institutions in the countries in which we operate or in similar low risk instruments.
 
  •  Interest rate risk — we are subject to relatively small interest rate risk on existing long term indebtedness. We will be subject to interest rate risk on our senior secured credit facility. The senior secured credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate based on a margin over the prime rate or LIBOR, as the case may be.
 
  •  Foreign exchange risk — we are subject to foreign exchange risk because most of our business is transacted in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Accordingly, most of our balance sheet amounts, including financial instruments as defined above, are denominated in foreign currencies.

On August 1, 2001, Geac issued 10,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 purchase warrants upon the automatic exercise of the special warrants, of which 250,000 common shares and 125,000 common share purchase warrants were issued to Mr. Birch and 1,000,000 common shares and 500,000 common share purchase warrants were issued to Mr. Nelson. Each purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at any time up to and including December 30, 2002 at CDN$2.75 per share subject to certain adjustments.

      Thomas Allen, one of Geac’s directors, is a partner of Ogilvy Renault, a law firm which provides legal services to Geac at the firm’s normal rates. Geac paid Ogilvy Renault a total of CDN$2,784 in fiscal 2000, CDN$392,701 in fiscal 2001 and CDN$131,083 in fiscal 2002 for legal services.

      Craig Thorburn, Geac’s Senior Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Corporate Secretary, is a partner of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, a law firm which provides legal services to Geac at the firm’s customary rates. Geac paid Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP nothing in fiscal 2000, CDN$24,328 in fiscal 2001 and CDN$1,686,458 in fiscal 2002 for legal services, inclusive of taxes.

      Charles Jones, Chairman of the Board of Geac, is the Chairman of First Funding Corporation, which provides administrative services to Mr. Jones in his capacity as Geac’s Chairman.

EXTENSITY BUSINESS

Overview of Extensity

      Extensity provides a financial employee relationship management solution for the automation of employee-based financial processes. Extensity’s suite of software applications allow employees to plan business travel, file expense reports, request and approve indirect purchases, and capture time for project and payroll management. At the same time, the application enforces business policy and the use of preferred vendors. Extensity also provides reporting and analytics that leverage the collected data for vendor negotiation, policy control, and improved employee and resource utilization. A major portion of corporate spending is widely dispersed amongst employees making purchases as part of their day-to-day responsibilities. By automating these complex business processes through the use of Extensity’s suite, companies can benefit from the centralized control of employee-initiated corporate spending.

      Extensity’s applications are available as licensed software or as a hosted solution. Regardless of a customer’s choice of deployment, Extensity integrates with enterprise resource planning applications and other information technology systems. Furthermore, Extensity’s software architecture allows its applications to be accessed by all employees through any computer with a web browser connected to the Internet. The Extensity software may also be accessed from a computer, such as a laptop, temporarily disconnected from the network.

      Extensity’s customers include Allianz, A.T. Kearney, Aventis, Cisco Systems, Merck and Office Depot. Extensity targets Global 2000 corporations who are seeking to realize cost savings through automation. Extensity’s mission is to save customers money by automating all employee-based financial processes in a single, consolidated solution that provides efficiency, control, and effectiveness through analytics.

Extensity Products and Services

 
Integrated Suite for Employee Relationship Management

      Extensity provides an employee relationship management solution for the automation of employee-based financial processes. Extensity’s application suite currently includes Extensity Expense Reports, Extensity Travel Plans, Extensity Timesheets and Extensity Procurement. In addition, the suite includes a system administration tool designed for use by business professionals, rather than information technology staff, and an optional reporting and analysis module.

      All applications are launched within a universal interface called Extensity Connect. This gateway to the Extensity suite provides an inbox summary, access to all Extensity applications, personal reports on items such as unattached credit card transactions, and links to external content and services, such as online travel booking or product catalogs. All Extensity applications share a consistent and easy-to-use, browser-based graphical user interface. The applications also share a common underlying technology architecture and a common data model, which allows them to work together and share information. In addition, Extensity’s applications are universally accessible, allowing employees to work anywhere through a computer with a web browser connected to the Internet or a computer temporarily disconnected from the network.

      Extensity’s application suite provides comprehensive data regarding spending, suppliers, policy violations and resource utilization. Extensity offers a business intelligence solution that transforms its data into valuable information for proactive business management. By consolidating data from Extensity’s expense reporting, travel, procurement and time capture modules into its central reporting database, Extensity’s analytics solution can measure and analyze all employee-initiated corporate spending.

 
Extensity Expense Reports

      Extensity Expense Reports is a full-featured application providing automation of the entire expense reporting process. Extensity Expense Reports brings accuracy, efficiency and control to this process. Using

130


Table of Contents

Extensity Expense Reports, employees, whether operating as a remote, off-line or local user, can quickly and easily create an expense report. This process is expedited and made more accurate through the use of online credit card data for automatic data entry. Compliance to business policy is checked as users create the expense reports. Compliant reports can be automatically approved so only noncompliant reports are routed to managers for approval. In reviewing noncompliant reports, managers need only focus on highlighted exceptions.

      Similarly, the accounting team spends less time re-keying data and auditing expense reports and more time analyzing travel and entertainment expense data for increased cost-savings. Employees can receive reimbursement rapidly through seamless integration with the organization’s financial, payroll and human resources systems.

 
Extensity Procurement

      Extensity Procurement automates and optimizes the requisitioning of nonproduction goods and services while enforcing a company’s procurement policies. Through Extensity Procurement, employees can access their company’s own purchasing catalog, or “punch out” to partner sites. The application is designed to minimize rogue purchasing and to ensure usage of preferred vendors for volume discounts. Corporate expenditure policies are automatically applied, approvals are accelerated and employees can have their orders fulfilled in a fraction of the time required for paper-based procurement. Extensity Procurement centrally captures key purchasing information that can be analyzed to continually evaluate and improve the procurement processes for further optimization and savings. Through automation, Extensity Procurement significantly reduces time-consuming administrative tasks, freeing purchasing professionals to focus on more strategic activities such as reducing redundant sources, selecting better vendors and negotiating contracts.

 
Extensity Timesheets

      Extensity Timesheets enables quick and accurate time capture for both project management and payroll automation. Timesheets allows employees to capture their hours and paid time off efficiently and accurately so managers and payroll professionals can focus on more strategic activities, as opposed to gathering, entering or verifying employee time data. For professional services organizations that bill clients, Extensity Timesheets streamlines processes to ensure timely and accurate client billing, which helps companies reduce write-offs and enhance cash flow. Users can quickly identify charge codes with an easy-to-use project code chooser. Extensity Timesheets centralizes time information so project managers can leverage critical data to evaluate project profitability, as well as employee/resource utilization. For organizations with large numbers of non-exempt employees, Extensity can be used to automatically calculate overtime and feed that information to the payroll system with no need for additional data entry. In addition, all companies can benefit from Extensity Timesheets’ ability to capture employee paid time off, eliminating payroll data entry and increasing the accuracy of paid time off reporting. Extensity Timesheets integrates with existing financial systems, as well as with Extensity Expense Reports and Extensity Procurement to ensure accurate pictures of project performance, bill-back to clients, and total employee and departmental spending.

 
Extensity Travel Plans

      Extensity Travel Plans automates the planning, approval and procurement process for corporate travel. The application enables users to plan and book business travel through a streamlined method that enforces corporate travel policies before travel expenses are incurred. Extensity Travel Plans provides an immediate link to information and resources needed by a business traveler, such as corporate travel policies, online booking systems and general travel information resources. Managers can easily review travel plans, as corporate travel policies are enforced at the trip-planning stage. Extensity Travel Plans can be seamlessly integrated with Extensity Expense Reports for an end-to-end business travel solution. Working in tandem, Extensity Expense Reports and Extensity Travel Plans offer an efficient and accurate travel management system. Together, the two applications provide a seamless flow of information, from pre-trip planning to

post-trip expense reimbursement and give managers a comprehensive view of projected and actual costs for variance analysis.
 
Extensity System Administrator Tool

      The Extensity System Administration Tool is an application designed to allow the business users within an organization to maintain the Extensity suite, minimizing reliance on the internal information technology staff or outside consultants. The interface is graphical and easy to use. Single or multiple administrators can be created for various departments, groups or functional areas. All systems changes are recorded in an audit log for further security.

 
Extensity Business Intelligence

      Extensity’s applications capture a wide range of corporate and employee data, with far more detail than is typically contained in a financial system of record. Extensity’s business intelligence strategy is two-fold: real-time reporting accessible to all users and business intelligence tools for business analysts. Through Extensity’s Extensity Connect interface, its users can access reporting on everyday items such as unattached credit card transactions or delinquent or unapproved timesheets. For business analysis, Extensity has partnered with Business Objects, a respected leader in business intelligence, to provide world-class business intelligence. With these choices, Extensity provides organizations with comprehensive analytics that transform its data into valuable information for vendor negotiation, policy compliance and enforcement, and proactive business management.

Services

      Extensity offers customers a comprehensive selection of implementation services, support and training. Extensity’s professional services organization consisted of 48 professionals as of December 31, 2002.

 
Implementation

      Implementation typically requires tailoring of business rules, configuration of workflow, integration of customer data, and integration with one or more financial systems, a human resources system and an external corporate credit card system. Extensity provides a highly configurable solution, and customers can choose from a range of services, including its Extensity Advantage Best-Practices Implementation. Extensity Advantage delivers a targeted 90-day implementation utilizing Extensity’s experience working with global customers to configure a solution that can be delivered quickly and inexpensively, without sacrificing functionality or control. Implementations are performed by Extensity’s professional services organization or a system integrator partner and are typically billed based on a daily rate.

 
Customer Support and Maintenance

      Extensity provides support and maintenance services for each customer to whom it licenses an application. Extensity offers three different support options for its workforce management applications, so customers can choose the level of support that best fits their business needs and resources. Extensity has named its three support levels, Operations Support, Enterprise Support, and Mission Critical Support. Support and maintenance contracts are required for one year and can be renewed by the customer thereafter. Extensity’s customer support staff provides timely and accurate resolution of customer inquiries and is available via telephone, e-mail and fax. Extensity also provides Extensity eSupport, a self-service Internet support option. Customers who choose Mission Critical Support, Extensity’s most comprehensive support level, receive support services 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

 
Training

      Extensity offers a comprehensive set of training and learning tools. The training curriculum covers application features for all users, prepares company trainers to redeliver the training, and teaches the application administrators — accounting personnel, help desk staff and implementation teams — how to

132


Table of Contents

modify the dynamic aspects of the applications. Training is conducted at Extensity’s training facilities, the customer site or via Web broadcast. Extensity also offers Web-based reference tools, which can be used for self-paced training.

Technology

      Extensity’s applications are fully standards-based, designed for the Internet and built upon an underlying architecture that is written in Java. Extensity’s applications run on standard Web browsers and servers and support leading relational database management systems, including Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2. The multi-tier architecture connects browser-based applications to application servers and to the database through a corporate local area network, wide area network, intranet or secure Internet connection. Extensity’s technology performs messaging between clients and the application engine in real time over transmission control protocol/ internet protocol (TCP/IP), the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet, and makes database connections via standard Java database drivers. Extensity’s applications are inherently scalable, due to its multi-tier architecture employing thin clients, multi-threaded application servers and relational databases. In addition, Extensity’s Java-based architecture enables it to operate across multiple platforms within an organization, including Windows 95, 98 or NT, Macintosh, Solaris and Palm operating systems. Extensity’s most recent release, Extensity 6, includes many technological advances, including moving to Java 2, the utilization of Java WebStart, and the addition of Connect portlets. Java 2 allows Extensity to make great strides in scalability and usability, while JavaWebStart will enable Extensity applications to run independent of a browser and enable automatic updates to be pushed to the user seamlessly upon each connection with the server. New portlets, available through Extensity’s Connect HTML interface, allow for access to real-time reports on user specific data, such as unattached credit cards.

 
The Extensity Architecture

      Building on a standards-based foundation, Extensity has designed a component-based application infrastructure composed of readily configurable business rules, a workflow system and advanced data management capabilities. Each of these core elements plays a crucial role in deploying enterprise-wide solutions that can model a company’s unique policies and processes, manage key business functions and scale to meet the needs of an organization of any size.

 
Business Rules System

      Extensity’s business rules system allows each of its applications to be configured so that companies can effectively monitor their processes and policies. This system is also flexible and can be edited and modified as a company’s processes and policies evolve. Employees are presented with appropriate warnings, explanations and message prompts to guide data entry and encourage conformance with corporate policies. The business rules dramatically reduce reworking of procedures, track and resolve policy exceptions online and eliminate re-keying of data into back-end systems. The business rules system permits management by exception, in which items requiring managerial attention are automatically highlighted so that managers need not review items that are clearly in compliance with established business rules.

 
Workflow System

      Extensity’s workflow system ensures that information flows through the organization in a timely, secure and efficient manner. Robust enterprise applications require database-driven workflow, rather than e-mail-based messaging, to provide increased security and reliability, data and transaction integrity, real-time availability, optimization for high performance and usage reporting. Workflow processes can be configured to reflect the unique process flow of documents and business processes in any organization. Extensity’s applications also permit e-mail notification to users as to status of a procedure or of events requiring attention, alteration and action. For example, after an employee has submitted an expense report, the system can notify him or her where the document is in the approval and reimbursement cycle. Similarly, an e-mail notification can alert a manager of a document that requires attention.

Advanced Data Management

      Data management ensures that all Extensity applications can be customized and extended to add, delete or modify buttons, type-in fields or other controls on an application’s user interface, in each case as required by a customer’s unique business objectives. New functionality can also be assigned to existing controls, or new controls, with little application modification and minimal programming. Extensity’s application suite can integrate with enterprise systems such as enterprise resource planning systems and other financial, human resources (for user information and organizational structure) and project accounting systems as well as corporate credit card data feeds. These interfaces allow for the automatic exchange of data between Extensity’s system and other enterprise systems and for the downloading of data managed by these enterprise systems into Extensity’s application suite.

Product Development

      Extensity has been developing and enhancing the Java-based architecture of its applications for the Internet since 1996.

      Extensity released its first application, Extensity Expense Reports, in March 1998. Extensity Expense Reports was one of the first workforce management applications to be developed specifically for the Internet. Extensity introduced Extensity Travel Plans in December 1998 and Extensity Timesheets and Extensity Procurement in July 1999. These four applications comprise Extensity’s suite of employee relationship management applications.

      To implement Extensity’s business strategy successfully, it must provide software applications and related services that meet the demands of its customers and prospective customers. Extensity expects that competitive factors will create a continuing need for it to improve and add to its suite of software

solutions. Extensity will have to expend significant funds on engineering and other resources to continue to improve its suite of applications, and to properly anticipate and respond to consumer preferences and demands. As organizations’ needs change with respect to their enterprise applications, Extensity’s existing suite of software applications may require modifications or improvements. The addition of new products and services will also require that Extensity continues to improve the technology underlying its applications.

Competition

      The market for Internet-based employee relationship management applications is intensely competitive. The key competitive factors affecting this market include a significant base of reference customers, the breadth and depth of products and product features, the quality and performance of Extensity’s products, the core technology underlying its applications, a high level of customer service and the ability to implement its solutions rapidly. With respect to these factors, Extensity believes that its employee relationship management applications compete favorably.

EXTENSITY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements concerning Extensity that involve risks and uncertainties. Extensity’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and in the “Risk Factors” section included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

      Extensity was formed in November 1995 and introduced its first commercial product for general availability in March 1998. During this period, Extensity’s operating activities consisted of the design and development of its product architecture and its first application, the building of its corporate infrastructure, and the development of its professional services and customer support organizations. Extensity’s first application, Extensity Expense Reports, was released for general availability in March 1998. Extensity released Extensity Travel Plans in December 1998 and Extensity Timesheets and Extensity Purchase Reqs in July 1999. Extensity Connect, Extensity’s portalized application front end, role-based reporting tool, and content and commerce gateway was released in March 2000. Extensity introduced the newest version of its suite of products, Extensity 6.0, in June 2002.

      Extensity generates revenue principally from licensing its applications and providing related services, including product installation, maintenance and support, consulting and training. Extensity licenses its applications individually or as an integrated suite of products. The pricing of Extensity’s software and services fluctuates on a per transaction basis depending on various factors, such as the number of seats covered by a contract and the degree of customization requested by the particular customer. The amount of revenue associated with Extensity’s contracts depend on the number of users and applications being used and the professional services requested. In the third quarter of 2001, Extensity began recognizing revenue from its hosted offering. Under this offering, customers pay a monthly usage fee based on the number of users and a one-time set-up fee to access the application on Extensity’s servers.

      Extensity promotes and sells its software products through its direct sales force and through indirect channels, including Elite Information Group and Emplaza, S.A., a joint venture between Terra Networks and Meta4. Extensity also has marketing referral arrangements in place with Cisco Systems, IBM, US Bank, Amadeus/eTravel, Rosenbluth Travel, WebEx, Digital Think, Visa, GetThere.com, and Pro Act Technologies.

      For the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 revenues derived from these international operations represented approximately 10% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues and approximately 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. In 1999, all of Extensity’s revenues were derived from U.S. customers.

Critical Accounting Policies

      Extensity’s critical and significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to Extensity’s consolidated financial statements. Certain of Extensity’s accounting policies are particularly important to an understanding of its financial position and results of operations. Application of many of these policies requires Extensity’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosures.

      In general, these estimates or judgments are based on the historical experience of Extensity’s management, prevailing industry trends, information provided by Extensity’s customers and information

138


Table of Contents

available from other outside sources, each as appropriate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions. Extensity’s critical accounting policies include:

     Revenue Recognition:

      Revenues are derived from software licenses and related services, which include implementation and integration, technical support, training and consulting. For contracts with multiple elements, and for which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements exists, revenue is recognized for the delivered elements based upon the residual contract value as prescribed by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions.”

      Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Arrangements for which the fees are not deemed fixed or determinable are recognized in the period they become due.

      Services revenue primarily comprises revenue from consulting fees, maintenance contracts and training. Services revenue from consulting and training is recognized as the service is performed.

      Maintenance contracts include the right to unspecified upgrades and ongoing support. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis as services revenue over the life of the related contract, which is typically one year.

      In the event Extensity enters into a contract involving significant implementation, customization or services which are essential to the functionality of the software, license and service revenues are recognized over the period of each engagement, using the percentage-of-completion method. Labor hours incurred is used as the measure of progress towards completion. Revenue for these arrangements is classified as license revenue and services revenue based upon Extensity’s estimates of fair value for each element and recognizes the revenue based on the percentage-of-completion ratio for the arrangement. A provision for estimated losses on engagements is made in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

      Extensity has entered into agreements under which value added resellers receive unspecified future products during the terms of the arrangements (typically two years) in consideration for upfront non-refundable fees. Consistent with the provisions of SOP 97-2, Extensity recognizes such fees ratably, on a subscription basis, over the terms of the arrangements.

      Extensity has accumulated relevant information from contracts to use in determining the availability of vendor-specific objective evidence and believes that such information complies with the criteria established in Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”) as follows:

  •  Customers are required to pay separately for annual maintenance. Future renewal rates are included as a term of the contracts. Extensity uses the renewal rate as vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for maintenance.
 
  •  Extensity charges standard hourly rates for consulting services based upon the nature of the services and experience of the professionals performing the services. Extensity has a history of selling services separately.
 
  •  For training, Extensity charges standard course rates for each course based upon the duration of the course, and such courses are separately priced in contracts. Extensity has a history of selling such courses separately.
 
  •  Customer billing occurs in accordance with contract terms. Customer advances and amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

     Bad Debt Allowance:

      Extensity bills its customers only if collectibility is reasonably assured. Extensity estimates the amount of uncollectible receivables each period and establishes an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The

139


Table of Contents

amount of the allowance is based on the age of unpaid amounts, information about the ongoing creditworthiness of customers, and other relevant information. Estimates of uncollectible amounts are revised each period, and changes are recorded in the period they become known.

     Deferred Tax Assets:

      Extensity has provided a full valuation reserve related to its net deferred tax assets. In the future, if sufficient evidence of Extensity’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income becomes apparent, Extensity may be required to reduce its valuation allowance. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance quarterly.

     Restructuring:

      The calculation of the estimated sublease loss reserve for vacated facilities requires that management must make estimates of potential future sublease income. Management analyzes current market conditions for real estate with the assistance of reputable commercial real estate brokers. However, future actual sublease income may materially differ from estimated amounts.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

      In July of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separately from goodwill. Recorded goodwill and intangibles will be evaluated against these new criteria and may result in certain intangibles being subsumed into goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially recorded as goodwill may be separately identified and recognized apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a nonamortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The provisions of each statement, which apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, were adopted by Extensity on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these accounting standards did not result in a significant impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations for any historic transactions.

      In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 nullifies the guidance in EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in Restructuring).” Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. In SFAS 146, the FASB acknowledges that an entity’s commitment to a plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability and requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. It also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Extensity does not expect an impact on its financial position and results of operating from the adoption of SFAS 146.

      In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (“APB 30”), “Reporting Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” SFAS No. 144 develops one accounting model (based on the model in SFAS No. 121) for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale, as well as addresses the principal implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the

140


Table of Contents

lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. That requirement eliminates APB 30’s requirement that discontinued operations be measured at net realizable value or that entities include under “discontinued operations” in the financial statements amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Extensity does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations.

      In November 2001, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products.” This issue presumes that consideration from a vendor to a customer or a reseller should not be recorded as revenue unless (1) the vendor receives an identifiable benefit in return for the consideration paid that is sufficiently separable from the sale to the customer, such that the vendor could have entered into an exchange transaction with a party other than a purchaser of its products and services in order to receive that benefit and (2) the benefit’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. This Issue is to be adopted no later than in annual or interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Extensity adopted the provisions of this consensus in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Such adoption had no impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations for the Nine-Month Periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001
 
Revenues

      Total revenues decreased to US$14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 47%. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

      License Revenues. License revenue decreased to US$4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 73%. Approximately 70% of the decrease was attributable to a decrease in revenue recognized from Extensity’s direct sales channel and approximately 30% was attributable to a decrease in revenue recognized from Extensity’s indirect sales channel. Both channels have been impacted by the decrease in capital spending associated with the current global economic downturn. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001, US$1.9 million of license revenue was recognized through Extensity’s relationship with a reseller. In the second quarter of 2001, Extensity and the reseller jointly decided to terminate the reseller arrangement.

      Service and Maintenance Revenues. Service and maintenance revenues decreased to US$9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 13%. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in professional services billing opportunities resulting from a decrease in capital spending associated with current global economic conditions.

      Hosted Revenues. Extensity’s hosted revenues were US$707,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The third quarter of 2001 was the first period the Company began recognizing revenue on this offering.

 
Cost of Revenues

      Total cost of revenues decreased to US$7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 38%.

142


Table of Contents

      Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license and support fees and, to a lesser extent, costs of duplicating media and documentation and shipping. Cost of license revenue decreased to US$400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in cost was due primarily to decreased sales activity. As a percentage of license revenues, cost of license revenues increased to 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Cost of revenues as a percentage of license revenue may increase over the current level in the future if Extensity incorporates additional third-party products into its offerings.

      Cost of Service and Maintenance Revenues. Cost of service and maintenance revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in consulting, training, maintenance and support services for Extensity’s customers as well as costs for third parties contracted to provide such services to Extensity’s customers. The cost of service and maintenance revenues decreased to US$6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 42%. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service revenues decreased to 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributed to lower costs associated with Extensity’s restructuring plans implemented in July of 2001 and April 2002. Approximately 45% of the decrease was attributed to lower compensation costs, approximately 30% was attributed to the reduction in the usage of third party consultants, and the remainder of the decrease was primarily attributed to other cost reductions associated with the restructuring. Extensity does not expect these costs to significantly increase in the near term. Overall, Extensity is seeking to further reduce its cost of service revenues as a percentage of total service revenue and is also seeking to keep third parties engaged in providing services related to Extensity’s applications.

      Cost of Hosted Revenues. Cost of hosted revenues consists primarily of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in supporting the hosted customer base, server costs, and telecommunications charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cost of hosted revenues was US$863,000. Extensity does not expect these costs to significantly increase in the near term.

 
Operating Expenses

      Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related costs for sales and marketing personnel, including commissions and marketing program costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to US$8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 55%. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Approximately 55% of the decrease in sales and marketing expenses was attributed to reduced compensation costs associated with Extensity’s restructuring plans implemented in July 2001 and April 2002 and approximately 10% of the decrease was associated with lower marketing program costs also associated with the restructuring. In addition, approximately 12% of the decrease was attributed to reduced commission expense associated with the decrease in license revenue. The remainder of the decrease was primarily attributed to other cost reductions associated with the restructuring. Extensity does not expect sales and marketing expenses, excluding commission charges, to increase significantly in the near term. Commission charges will vary depending upon the sales activity. Sales and marketing expenses may increase in the long term if Extensity expands its domestic and international sales force and increases its marketing efforts.

      Research and Development. Research and development expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related personnel costs, and fees associated with contractors. Research and development expenses decreased to US$5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 44%. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses were 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in research and development cost was attributable to reduced compensation costs associated with its restructuring plans implemented in July of 2001 and April 2002.

143


Table of Contents

Extensity does not expect research and development costs to significantly increase in the near term. Research and development expenses may increase in the long term if Extensity makes additional investments in its technology and products.

      General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related costs for Extensity’s executive, finance and administrative personnel and other related expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to US$4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from US$5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 20%. As a percentage of total revenues general and administrative expenses increased to 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the impact of Extensity’s restructuring plans implemented in July of 2001 and April 2002. General and administrative expenses tend to be relatively fixed in the short term because Extensity’s discretionary general and administrative expenses are limited and there are significant costs associated with being a public company. As a result, declining revenues have caused an increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues. Extensity does not expect general and administrative expenses to significantly increase in the short term. General and administrative costs may increase in the long term if Extensity expands its operations.

      Restructuring and other non-recurring charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, restructuring and other non-recurring charges were approximately US$2.5 million, comprised of US$523,000 of severance and benefits, US$946,000 of accrued lease costs and US$1.1 million of merger expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 restructuring and other charges were US$6.2 million comprised of the US$4.5 million in restructuring, US$1.3 million in write-down of assets and US$377,000 of other charges associated with exploring merger and acquisition opportunities.

 
Interest Income, Net

      Interest income, net was US$668,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and US$2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of 71%. Interest income is attributed to interest earned on the proceeds from Extensity’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and working capital. The decrease in interest income is attributed to lower interest rates and lower cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments balances. Interest income will fluctuate depending upon the overall interest rate environment and Extensity’s cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments balances.

 
Amortization of Non-Cash Stock Based Compensation

      Prior to its IPO, Extensity granted certain stock options to its officers and employees at prices deemed to be below the fair value of the underlying stock. The cumulative difference between the fair value of the underlying stock at the date the options were granted and the exercise price of the granted options was US$12.1 million as of the IPO date. This amount is being amortized using the accelerated method of FASB Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable or Award Plans,” over the four-year vesting period of the granted options. Accordingly, Extensity’s results of operations include and will continue to include deferred compensation expense at least through 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, amortization of non-cash stock based compensation was US$64,000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, amortization of non-cash stock based compensation was US$348,000. The lower expense is primarily attributable to the impact of forfeitures and the use of an accelerated method of amortization. Extensity estimates that it will recognize approximately US$25,000 for the remainder of 2002; however, this amount may change as employee terminations impact the amortization schedule.

 
Results of Operations for Fiscal Years 2001, 2000 and 1999
 
Revenues

      Total revenues were US$35.1 million, US$24.9 million and US$6.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of 41% from 2000 to 2001 and 265% from 1999 to 2000. For the year

144


Table of Contents

ended December 31, 2001, no customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 sales to one customer accounted for 10% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues.

      License Revenues. License revenues were US$20.8 million, US$14.6 million and US$3.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of 42% from 2000 to 2001 and 289% from 1999 to 2000. Approximately 50% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributed to an increase in revenue from Extensity’s indirect sales channel; and approximately 50% of the increase was attributed to Extensity’s direct sales channel, primarily as a result of Extensity’s growing customer base. The increase from 2000 to 2001 was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue from the direct sales channel recognized upon shipment. Revenue recognized through the indirect sales channel decreased 5% from 2000 to 2001. Revenues from Extensity’s indirect channel may decrease in 2002.

      Service and Maintenance Revenues. Service and maintenance revenues were US$14.1 million, US$10.3 million and US$3.1 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of 37% from 2000 to 2001 and 235% from 1999 to 2000. Approximately 60% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributed to Extensity’s growing customer base and the rest was primarily attributed to an increase in incremental professional services recognized on a time and materials basis. Approximately 50% of the increase from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to Extensity’s growing customer base, approximately 25% was attributed to an increase in incremental professional services recognized on a time and materials basis, and the rest was primarily attributed to an increase in the average size of initial implementations entered into by Extensity’s customers.

      Hosted Revenues. Extensity’s hosted revenues were US$199,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This is the first fiscal year Extensity has recognized revenue from this offering. Extensity does not believe these revenues will be a significant percentage of total revenues in the near term. As discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Extensity incurred an impairment charge associated with its hosted offering.

 
      Cost of Revenues

      Total cost of revenues, exclusive of stock compensation charges, were US$14.8 million, US$14.9 million and US$5.0 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing approximately no increase from 2000 to 2001 and an increase of 202% from 1999 to 2000.

      Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license and support fees and, to a lesser extent, costs of duplicating media and documentation and shipping. Cost of license revenues were US$1.4 million, US$705,000 and US$195,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively, representing increases of 103% from 2000 to 2001 and 262% from 1999 to 2000. The increase in both periods was due primarily to increased sales activity. As a percentage of license revenues, cost of license revenues was 6.9%, 4.8% and 5.2% in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cost of revenues as a percentage of license revenue may increase over the current level in the future as Extensity incorporates additional third-party products in its offerings.

      Cost of Service and Maintenance Revenues. Cost of service and maintenance revenues, exclusive of stock compensation charges, consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in consulting, training, maintenance and support services for Extensity’s customers as well as costs for third parties contracted to provide such services to Extensity’s customers. Cost of service and maintenance revenues were US$13.0 million, US$14.2 million and US$4.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing a decrease of 9% from 2000 to 2001 and an increase of 199% from 1999 to 2000. As a percentage of service and maintenance revenues, cost of service and maintenance revenues were 92%, 139% and 155% in 2001, 2000 and 1999. The decrease from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to a 246% decrease in third party consulting costs offset in part by 40% higher payroll costs as Extensity replaced third party consultants with permanent employees. Approximately 34% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributed to Extensity’s hiring of additional service and maintenance personnel, and approximately 49% was due to an increase in costs for third party contractors. Total service and maintenance revenues

Table of Contents

exceeded costs of service and maintenance revenues in 2001. Total cost of service and maintenance revenues exceeded Extensity’s service and maintenance revenues in 2000 and 1999, as Extensity has built its consulting and customer support groups in advance of growing contract volume. Extensity is seeking to reduce its cost of service revenues as a percentage of total revenues and is also seeking to engage third parties to provide services related to Extensity’s applications.

      Cost of Hosted Revenues. Cost of hosted revenues consists primarily of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in supporting the hosted customer base, server costs, and telecommunications charges. Extensity started recognizing revenue for the hosted product in the third quarter of 2001. The cost of hosted revenues for 2001 was US$422,000, representing expenses for the third and fourth quarters of 2001 therefore, on a year-to-year comparison, cost of hosted revenues will increase. However, on a quarter-to-quarter basis, Extensity does not expect these costs to significantly increase.

 
      Operating Expenses

      Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related costs for sales and marketing personnel, including commissions and marketing program costs. Sales and marketing expenses were US$23.5 million, US$26.8 million and US$11.2 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively, representing a decrease of 12% from 2000 to 2001 and an increase of 139% from 1999 to 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 67%, 108% and 164% in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Approximately 63% of the decrease from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to lower marketing program spending and 21% to lower payroll costs associated with Extensity’s restructuring plan implemented in July of 2001. Approximately 67% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributable to increased compensation, commissions and other related costs associated with hiring additional sales representatives, management and marketing personnel and 19% of the increase was attributable to increased spending on marketing programs. Commission charges will vary depending upon the sales activity. Sales and marketing expenses may increase in the long term if Extensity expands its domestic and international sales force and increases its marketing efforts.

      Research and Development. Research and development expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related personnel costs and fees associated with contractors. Research and development expenses were US$11.9 million, US$13.3 million and US$7.1 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing a decrease of 10% from 2000 to 2001 and an increase of 88% from 1999 to 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses were 34%, 53% and 103% in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Approximately 60% of the decrease from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to lower costs for third party consultants. Approximately 66% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributed to the addition of personnel and 19% due to an increase in consulting services. These increases resulted from Extensity’s continuing efforts to add enhancements to Extensity’s existing software applications and to develop software applications that incorporate new functionality into Extensity’s integrated suite. Research and development expenses may increase in the long term if Extensity makes additional investments in its technology and products.

      General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation amortization, consist primarily of compensation and related costs for Extensity’s executive, finance and administrative personnel and other related expenses. General and administrative expenses were US$6.8 million, US$5.1 million and US$2.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of 32% from 2000 to 2001 and 83% from 1999 to 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 19%, 21% and 41% in 2001, 2000 and 1999. The increase from 2000 to 2001 was primarily attributed to hiring additional human resources and internal information technology personnel. Approximately 60% of the increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributable to hiring additional executive and financial personnel and 40% to general administrative costs. General and administrative expenses may increase in the long term if Extensity expand its operations.

      Restructuring, Impairment Loss and Other. For the year ended December 31, 2001, restructuring, impairment loss and other expenses were US$6.2 million comprised of US$4.5 million in restructuring, a

146


Table of Contents

US$1.3 million impairment of assets associated with building the hosted offering and US$377,000 of other expenses. The US$4.5 million in restructuring charges were made up of US$2.2 million in lease costs, a US$1.6 million write-off of property and equipment and US$729,000 in severance and benefits.
 
      Amortization of Non-Cash Stock Based Compensation

      Prior to Extensity’s IPO, Extensity granted certain stock options to its officers and employees at prices deemed to be below the fair value of the underlying stock. The cumulative difference between the deemed fair value of the underlying stock at the date the options were granted and the exercise price of the granted options was US$12.1 million as of the IPO date. This amount is being amortized, using the accelerated method of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable or Award Plans,” over the four-year vesting period of the granted options. Accordingly, Extensity’s results from operations will include amortization of deferred compensation expense at least through 2003. Extensity recognized US$509,000, US$4.0 million and US$4.4 million of this expense in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The lower expense in 2001 is primarily attributable to the impact of forfeitures and the use of an accelerated method of amortization. The remaining expense to be recognized in 2002 and 2003 is US$504,000. Extensity estimates that it will recognize approximately US$450,000 of expense in fiscal 2002; however, this amount may change as employee terminations and accelerated vesting impact the amortization schedule.

 
      In-Process Research and Development

      In process research and development expense was US$318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This expense was incurred in connection with the acquisition of a company. Substantially the entire purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development as technological feasibility of the acquired product had not been established and no future alternative use existed at the time of purchase. Furthermore, the acquired company had no revenues, no other tangible or intangible assets and only one employee. There were no acquisitions made in 2001 or 1999.

 
      Interest Income, Net

      Interest income, net was US$2.6 million, US$5.1 million and US$166,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to lower interest rates and lower cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances. The increase from 1999 to 2000 was attributed to interest earned on the proceeds from Extensity’s IPO. Interest income will fluctuate depending upon the overall interest rate environment and Extensity’s cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances.

 
      Provision for Income Taxes

      Since inception, Extensity has incurred net losses for federal and state tax purposes and has not recognized any material tax provision or benefit. As of December 31, 2001, Extensity had net operating loss carryforwards of US$82.7 million and US$33.9 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, expire through 2021 and 2011, respectively. Extensity also has research and development credit carryforwards of US$2.7 million for federal and state tax purposes. The federal research and development credits expire through 2021 and the state credits expire when exhausted. Federal and state tax laws will impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a shift in Extensity’s ownership that constitutes an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

      Extensity has placed a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the realization of these assets. The allowance totaled US$33.0 million at December 31, 2001, resulting in no net deferred tax asset. Extensity evaluates on a quarterly basis the recoverability of net deferred tax assets and the level of valuation allowance. When Extensity has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, Extensity will reduce the valuation allowance.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Nine-Month Periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

      Since inception, Extensity has financed its operations and funded its capital expenditures through proceeds from its IPO completed in January 2000 and the private sale of equity securities, supplemented by loan facilities and equipment leases. As of September 30, 2002, Extensity had US$35.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, US$1.4 million in restricted long-term investments and US$30.3 million in working capital.

      Net cash used in operating activities was US$11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and US$27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 cash used in operating activities was primarily attributed to a net loss of US$13.6 million, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of US$1.2 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of US$1.3 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of US$2.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a net loss of US$23.6 million, adjusted for a non-cash charge associated with the write-off of computer equipment and software of US$2.9 million, depreciation and amortization of US$1.9 million and amortization of deferred stock compensation of US$434,000, a decrease in deferred revenue of US$10.1 million, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of US$845,000 offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of US$2.3 million and an increase in other liabilities of US$1.5 million.

      Net cash provided by investing activities was US$7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and net cash provided by investing activities was US$5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to the maturities of short-term investments. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was primarily attributable to maturities of short-term investments.

      Net cash provided by financing activities was US$120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to payments on capital lease obligations of US$202,000 offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of US$322,000. Net cash used in by financing activities was US$135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, primarily due to payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations of US$1.1 million, offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of US$943,000.

      As of September 30, 2002, Extensity anticipates that its existing capital resources will meet its operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. Extensity has US$35.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In particular, Extensity believes that its current uncommitted cash balances are sufficient to fund any existing cash obligations or commercial commitments as well as any cash needed for planned operating activities. After that time, Extensity cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, should Extensity’s operating results be worse than expected, Extensity could use more cash in funding operating activities which would diminish its capital resources. While Extensity does not presently anticipate a need for additional capital, if it does require additional capital resources to grow its business, execute its operating plans, or acquire complementary technologies or businesses, at any time in the future, Extensity may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or secure additional lines of credit, which may result in additional dilution to Extensity’s stockholders.

 
      Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

      Since inception, Extensity has financed its operations and funded its capital expenditures through proceeds from its IPO completed in January 2000 and the private sale of equity securities, supplemented by loan facilities and equipment leases. Aggregate net proceeds to date from private equity financings totaled US$42.3 million and proceeds from Extensity’s IPO were US$83.3 million, net of offering costs of approximately US$2.2 million. As of December 31, 2001, Extensity had US$46.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and US$41.4 million in working capital.

DESCRIPTION OF GEAC SHARE CAPITAL

      Geac’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without nominal or par value and an unlimited number of preference shares without nominal or par value, issuable in series, of which 83,059,942 common shares and no preference shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2002.

      Geac’s common shares entitle their holders to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders, and to vote thereat, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares (other than the common shares) or a specified series of shares are entitled to vote. The holders of common shares are entitled to dividends, if, as, and when declared by the board of directors of Geac. The common shares are entitled upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Geac to receive the remaining assets of the corporation, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares of Geac.

      The preference shares may from time to time be issued in one or more series and subject to the sending of articles of amendment in prescribed form and the issuance of a certificate of amendment in respect thereof, the directors may fix from time to time before such issue the number of shares which is to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series of preference shares. The preference shares of each series shall, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other return of capital or distribution of assets of Geac among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, rank on a parity with the preference shares of every other series and be entitled to preference over the common shares and over any other shares of Geac ranking junior to the preference shares of any series.

      Geac has adopted a shareholder protection rights plan, which is referred to as the Geac Rights Plan. A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Geac Rights Plan is set out in the section entitled “Geac Shareholder Protection Rights Plan” beginning on page 157.

156


Table of Contents

GEAC SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS PLAN

      The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Geac rights plan, which is qualified by and is subject to the full terms and conditions of the rights agreement establishing the Geac rights plan, and which is referred to as the rights agreement.

Issuance of Rights

      The board of directors authorized the issuance of one right for each Geac common share that was outstanding on March 15, 2000, which is referred to as the record time. One right will also be issued for each voting share (which includes the common shares and any other shares in or interests of Geac entitled to vote generally in the election of directors) issued after the record time and prior to the separation time (as defined below), subject to the earlier termination or expiration of the rights as set out in the rights agreement.

Exercise Price

      Until the separation time, the exercise price of each right is three times the market price, from time to time, of the common shares. From and after the separation time, the exercise price is three times the market price, as at the separation time, per common share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment as set out in the rights agreement.

Term

      The rights agreement will expire at the annual meeting of Geac shareholders to be held in 2003, subject to earlier termination or expiration of the rights as set out in the rights agreement.

Trading of Rights

      Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the certificates representing the associated common shares and will be transferable only together with the associated common shares. After the separation time, separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record of voting shares (other than any shareholder or group of shareholders making a take-over bid) as of the separation time and such separate rights certificates alone will evidence the rights. The rights are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Separation Time

      The rights are not exercisable and do not trade separately from their associated voting shares until the “separation time.” The “separation time” is the close of business on the tenth trading day after the earlier of (i) the stock acquisition date, which is the first date of public announcement of facts indicating that a person has become an acquiring person (as defined below); and (ii) the date of the commencement of, or first public announcement of the intent of any person (other than Geac or any subsidiary of Geac) to commence, a take-over bid (other than a permitted bid or a competing permitted bid, each as defined below). The separation time can also be such later date as may from time to time be determined by the board of directors.

Acquiring Person

      An “acquiring person” is a person who is the beneficial owner (as defined below) of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of Geac. Excluded from the definition of acquiring person are Geac and its subsidiaries and any person who becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares as a result of one or any combination of a voting share reduction, a pro rata acquisition, a permitted

157


Table of Contents

bid acquisition, an exempt acquisition or a convertible security acquisition (all as defined below). In general:

  •  a “voting share reduction” means an acquisition or redemption by Geac of voting shares which, by reducing the number of voting shares outstanding, increases the percentage of voting shares beneficially owned by such person to 20% or more of the voting shares then outstanding;
 
  •  a “pro rata acquisition” means an acquisition of voting shares and/or convertible securities as a result of a stock dividend, a stock split, a dividend reinvestment plan, or a rights offering issued on the same pro rata basis to all the holders of a series or class of voting shares;
 
  •  a “permitted bid acquisition” means an acquisition of voting shares made pursuant to a permitted bid or a competing permitted bid;
 
  •  an “exempt acquisition” means an acquisition of voting shares and/or convertible securities in respect of which the board of directors has waived the application of the rights plan or which was made pursuant to a distribution to the public of voting shares and/or convertible securities made pursuant to a prospectus or a securities exchange take-over bid circular or a distribution by way of a private placement by Geac; and
 
  •  a “convertible security acquisition” means an acquisition of voting shares upon the exercise of convertible securities received by a person pursuant to a permitted bid acquisition, an exempt acquisition or a pro rata acquisition.

      Also excluded from the definition of acquiring person are underwriters or banking group or selling group members acting in connection with a distribution of securities and any “grandfathered person” (generally, any person who is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares at the date of the rights agreement). To Geac’s knowledge, there are no grandfathered persons.

Beneficial Ownership

      In general, a person is deemed to “beneficially own” securities actually held by others in circumstances where those holdings are or should be grouped together for purposes of the rights plan. Included are holdings by the person’s “affiliates” (generally, a person that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with another person) and “associates” (generally, relatives sharing the same residence).

      Also included are securities that the person or any of the person’s affiliates or associates has the right to acquire within 60 days (other than customary agreements with and between underwriters and banking group or selling group members with respect to a distribution of securities and other than pursuant to pledges of securities in the ordinary course of business).

      A person is also deemed to beneficially own any securities that are beneficially owned (as described above) by any other person with which the person is acting jointly or in concert. A person is acting jointly or in concert with any other person who is a party to an agreement, commitment or understanding with the first person for the purpose of acquiring or offering to acquire voting shares.

Exclusions from the Definition of Beneficial Ownership

      The definition of “beneficial ownership” contains several exclusions whereby a person is not considered to beneficially own a security. There are exemptions from the deemed beneficial ownership provisions for institutional shareholders acting in the ordinary course of business. These exemptions apply to (i) an investment manager which holds securities in the ordinary course of business in the performance of its duties for the account of any other person; (ii) a licensed trust company acting as trustee or administrator or in a similar capacity in relation to the estates of deceased or incompetent persons or in relation to other accounts and which holds such security in the ordinary course of its duties for such accounts; (iii) a crown agent or agency; (iv) a person established by statute, the ordinary business or activity of which includes the management of investment funds for employee benefit plans, pension plans

158


Table of Contents

and insurance plans of various public bodies; and (v) the administrator of one or more pension funds or plans registered under applicable law. The foregoing exemptions apply only so long as the manager, trust company, crown agent, statutory body, administrator or the plan is not then making or has not then announced an intention to make a take-over bid, other than an offer to acquire common shares or other securities pursuant to a distribution by Geac or by means of ordinary market transactions. A person will not be deemed to beneficially own any securities that are the subject of a permitted lock-up agreement (as defined in the rights agreement).

Flip-in Event

      A “flip-in event” occurs when any person becomes an acquiring person. If a flip-in event occurs prior to the expiration time that has not been waived by the board of directors (see “Waiver” below), each right (except for rights beneficially owned or which may thereafter be beneficially owned by an acquiring person or a transferee of such a person, which rights will become null and void) shall constitute the right to purchase from Geac, on payment of the exercise price, Geac common shares having an aggregate market price equal to twice the exercise price, for an amount in cash equal to the exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.

Permitted Bid and Competing Permitted Bid

      A take-over bid will not trigger a flip-in event if it is a permitted bid or competing permitted bid. A “permitted bid” is a take-over bid made by way of a take-over bid circular to all holders of voting shares and which complies with the following additional provisions:

        (i) no voting shares shall be taken up or paid for pursuant to the take-over bid prior to the close of business on a date which is not less than 60 days following the date of the take-over bid;
 
        (ii) unless the take-over bid is withdrawn, voting shares may be deposited pursuant to the take-over bid at any time prior to the close of business on the date of first take-up or payment for voting shares and all voting shares deposited pursuant to the take-over bid may be withdrawn at any time prior to the close of business on such date;
 
        (iii) more than 50% of the then outstanding voting shares held by independent shareholders (as defined in the rights agreement) must be deposited to the take-over bid and not withdrawn at the close of business on the date of first take-up or payment for voting shares; and
 
        (iv) if more than 50% of the then outstanding voting shares held by independent shareholders have been deposited to the take-over bid and not withdrawn as at the date of first take-up or payment for voting shares under the take-over bid, the offeror will make a public announcement of that fact and the take-over bid will remain open for deposits and tenders of voting shares for not less than 10 business days from the date of such public announcement.

      A “competing permitted bid” is a take-over bid that is made after a permitted bid has been made but prior to its expiry, and that satisfies all the requirements of a permitted bid as described above, except that a competing permitted bid is only required to remain open until a date that is not less than the later of 21 days after the date of the take-over bid constituting the competing permitted bid and 60 days after the date of the take-over bid of the prior bid.

Redemption

      Redemption of Rights on Approval of Holders of Voting Shares and Rights. With the prior consent of the holders of voting shares or rights, the board of directors may at any time prior to the occurrence of a flip-in event that has not been waived, elect to redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding rights at a redemption price of CDN$0.001 per right, subject to adjustment for anti-dilution as provided in the rights agreement.

159


Table of Contents

      Deemed Redemption. If a person who has made a permitted bid, a competing permitted bid or an exempt acquisition in respect of which the board of directors has waived or has deemed to have waived the application of the rights plan consummates the acquisition of the voting shares, the board of directors shall be deemed to have elected to redeem the rights for the redemption price.

      Redemption of Rights on Withdrawal or Termination of Bid. Where a take-over bid that is not a permitted bid or competing permitted bid expires, is withdrawn or otherwise terminates after the separation time and prior to the occurrence of a flip-in event, the board of directors may elect to redeem all the outstanding rights at the redemption price. Upon the rights being so redeemed, all the provisions of the rights plan shall continue to apply as if the separation time had not occurred and rights certificates had not been mailed, and the separation time shall be deemed not to have occurred.

Waiver

      Discretionary Waiver Respecting Acquisition not by Take-over Bid Circular. With the prior consent of the holders of voting shares the board of directors may, prior to the occurrence of a flip-in event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of voting shares otherwise than pursuant to a take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of voting shares or by inadvertence when such inadvertent acquiring person has then reduced its holdings to below 20%, waive the application of the rights plan to such flip-in event.

      Discretionary Waiver Respecting Acquisition by Take-over Circular and Mandatory Waiver of Concurrent Bids. The board of directors may, prior to the occurrence of a flip-in event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of voting shares pursuant to a take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of voting shares, waive the application of the rights plan to such a flip-in event, provided that if the board of directors waives the application of the rights plan to such a flip-in event, the board of directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of the rights plan in respect of any other flip-in event occurring by reason of such any take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of voting shares prior to the expiry of the take-over bid for which a waiver is, or is deemed to have been, granted.

      Waiver of Inadvertent Acquisition. The board of directors may waive the application of the rights plan in respect of the occurrence of any flip-in event if (i) the board of directors has determined that a person became an acquiring person under the rights plan by inadvertence and without any intent or knowledge that it would become an acquiring person; and (ii) the acquiring person has reduced its beneficial ownership of voting shares such that at the time of waiver the person is no longer an acquiring person.

Supplements and Amendments

      Geac may make changes to the rights agreement prior to or after the separation time to correct any clerical or typographical error or to maintain the validity of the rights agreement as a result of any change in any applicable legislation, rules or regulation without the approval of the holders of the voting shares or rights. Geac may also make changes to the rights agreement prior to the meeting without the approval of the holders of the voting shares or the rights.

      Geac may, with the approval of the holders of voting shares, at any time prior to the separation time, make changes to or rescind any of the provisions of the rights agreement and the rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interest of the holders of rights generally).

      Geac may, with the approval of the holders of rights, at any time after the separation time, make changes to or rescind any of the provisions of the rights agreement and the rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interest of the holders of rights generally).

160


Table of Contents

Anti-Dilution Adjustments

      The exercise price of a right, the number and kind of shares subject to purchase upon exercise of a right, and the number of rights outstanding, will be adjusted in certain events, including:

        (i) if there is a dividend payable in Geac common shares or convertible securities (other than pursuant to any optional stock dividend program) on the Geac common shares, or a subdivision or consolidation of the Geac common shares, or an issuance of Geac common shares or convertible securities in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for Geac common shares; or
 
        (ii) if Geac fixes a record date for the distribution to all holders of its common shares of certain rights or warrants to acquire its common shares or convertible securities, or for the making of a distribution to all holders of its common shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than regular periodic cash dividends or stock dividends payable in common shares) or rights or warrants.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS AND

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

      The rights of holders of Extensity common stock are currently governed principally by:

  •  the laws of Delaware, particularly the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware;
 
  •  Extensity’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, referred to as the “Extensity charter;”
 
  •  Extensity’s bylaws; and
 
  •  the United States securities laws.

      When the merger is effective, Extensity stockholders who elect to receive Geac common shares will become shareholders of Geac, a Canadian corporation. The rights of holders of Geac common shares are currently governed principally by:

  •  the Canada Business Corporations Act;
 
  •  Geac’s restated certificate and articles of incorporation, referred to as the “Geac charter;”
 
  •  Geac’s bylaws; and
 
  •  the securities laws applicable in Canada and the United States.

      While the rights and privileges of stockholders of a corporation organized under the Canada Business Corporations Act such as Geac are, in many instances, comparable to those of stockholders of a Delaware corporation such as Extensity, there are material differences. The following is a summary of material differences between the rights of holders of Extensity common stock and the holders of Geac common shares. These differences arise from differences between the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Canada Business Corporations Act and between the charters and bylaws of Extensity and Geac.

      This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Canada Business Corporations Act, applicable provisions of United States and Canadian securities law and the respective charters and bylaws of Extensity and Geac. You should review this document and the other documents referred to in this section for a more complete understanding of the differences between being an Extensity stockholder and a Geac stockholder. Upon request, Extensity will send you copies of the charters and bylaws of Extensity and Geac.

General Provisions

Authorized Capital

      Extensity. The authorized capital stock of Extensity consists of:

  •  75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value US$.001 per share, of which there were 25,506,378 shares outstanding as of February 5, 2003; and
 
  •  5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value US$.01 per share, of which none were outstanding as of February 5, 2003.

      Geac. The authorized share capital of Geac consists of:

Table of Contents

Director Requirements

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to contain provisions governing the number and terms of directors. If the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, that number may not be changed without amending the certificate of incorporation. Extensity’s charter provides that the number of directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws. Extensity’s bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors shall be established from time to time by resolution of the board of directors or by amendment of the bylaws. Currently, the number of directors on the Extensity board is set at seven.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a corporation whose securities are publicly traded must have at least three directors, including two who are not officers or employees of the corporation or any of its affiliates, but the actual number of directors is governed by a corporation’s charter. Geac’s charter provides that the number of directors will consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen. Geac’s bylaws provide that the actual number of directors will be determined from time to time by resolution of the directors. Currently, the number of directors on the Geac board is set at nine.

Director Qualifications

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not have any residency or other director qualification requirements.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act generally, 25% of the directors of the corporation and twenty-five percent of the directors present at a meeting must be Canadian residents. If a corporation has less than four directors, at least one must be a Canadian resident. Certain individuals are disqualified by the Canada Business Corporations Act from being directors, such as bankrupts or persons under eighteen years of age or of unsound mind.

Vacancy on the Board of Directors

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. However, the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that if the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board, the Delaware Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder(s) holding at least 10% of the total number of shares outstanding entitled to vote for directors, order an election of directors to be held to fill any vacancies.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, subject to the articles of the corporation, a vacancy among the directors may be filled at a meeting of shareholders or by a quorum of directors except when the vacancy results from an increase in the number or minimum or maximum number of directors or from a failure to elect the appropriate number of directors required by the articles. Geac’s bylaws provided that three directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Each director appointed holds office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor unless his or her office is vacated earlier. Geac’s articles provide that the board of directors may appoint one or more directors for a term expiring not later than the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders provided that the total number of directors so appointed may not exceed one-third of the directors elected at the previous annual meeting of shareholders.

Removal of Directors

      Extensity. Generally, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may remove directors, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in an election of directors. However, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, if a Delaware

163


Table of Contents

corporation has a classified board with staggered terms, then stockholders may only remove directors for cause. Extensity does not have a classified board with staggered terms.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, provided that articles of the corporation do not provide for cumulative voting, shareholders of a corporation may, by ordinary resolution passed at a special meeting, remove any director or directors from office. If holders of a class or series of shares have the exclusive right to elect one or more directors, a director elected by them may only he removed by an ordinary resolution at a meeting of the shareholders of that class or series.

Amendment to Governing Documents

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law generally requires a vote of the corporation’s board of directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote for any amendments to the certificate of incorporation. If an amendment alters the powers, preferences or special rights of a particular class or series of stock so as to affect them adversely, that class or series generally has the power to vote as a class notwithstanding the absence of any specifically enumerated power in the certificate of incorporation.

      The Delaware General Corporation Law also states that the power to adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws of a corporation is vested with stockholders entitled to vote, except that the corporation may also confer that power on the board of directors in its certificate of incorporation. The Extensity charter empowers the directors to amend the bylaws.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, an amendment to a corporation’s articles generally requires shareholder approval by special resolution. A “special resolution” is a resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders who are entitled to vote on the resolution. In addition, if an amendment to the articles of incorporation adversely affects the rights of a particular class or series of shares, that class or series is entitled to vote separately as a class, whether or not that class or series otherwise carries a right to vote.

      Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, unless the articles or bylaws otherwise provide, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend, or repeal any bylaw that regulates the business or affairs of a corporation. Where the directors make, amend or repeal a bylaw, they are required to submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next shareholders meeting, and the shareholders may, by an “ordinary resolution” confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal. An “ordinary resolution” is a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who voted on the resolution. If the directors of a corporation do not submit a bylaw, an amendment or a repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, the bylaw, amendment or repeal will cease to be effective, and no subsequent resolution of the directors to adopt, amend or repeal a bylaw having substantially the same purpose and effect is effective until it is confirmed or confirmed as amended by the shareholders.

Quorum of Stockholders

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a majority of shares entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. A quorum may not consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Extensity’s bylaws provide that a quorum consists of a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, irrespective of the number of persons present at the meeting, unless the bylaws provide otherwise. Geac’s bylaws provide that a quorum at any shareholder meeting will be the holders present in person or represented by proxy of at least 20% of the outstanding shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, a corporation must hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors on the date and time designated by or in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. If the corporation does not hold an annual meeting or take action by written consent to elect directors for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated for a period of 13 months after the last annual meeting to elect directors, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order a meeting to be held upon the application of a stockholder or director.

      Extensity’s charter provides that stockholders of the corporation may not take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting but may act only at a duly called annual or special meeting.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the directors of a corporation must call an annual meeting not later than 18 months after the corporation comes in to existence and thereafter, not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting and no later than six months after the end of the corporations’ preceding financial year. Geac’s bylaws provide that the meeting shall be held at such place within Canada as the board may determine.

Call of Special Stockholder Meeting

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, written notice of any meeting of stockholders must be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting between 10 and 60 days before the meeting date; provided that for a merger, a minimum of 20 days notice is required and the holders of all stock, both voting and nonvoting, are entitled to the notice. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by the board of directors of a corporation, or by such persons as may be authorized by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Extensity charter provides that special meetings may be called only by the board of directors or by a duly authorized committee of the board of directors.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that shareholder meetings may be called by the board of directors, and must be called by the board of directors when so requisitioned by holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of the corporation that carry the right to vote at the meeting sought. A court may also order, in its discretion and in certain circumstances, the calling of a meeting upon the application of a director or shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting. Under Geac’s bylaws, the board of directors has the power to call a special meeting at any time.

Stockholder Consent Instead of a Meeting

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken or which may be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting.

      Extensity’s bylaws permit stockholder action by written consent without a meeting, unless otherwise provided in the charter. Extensity’s charter provides that stockholders of Extensity may not take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting but must take any actions at a duly called annual or special meeting.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, shareholder action may be taken without a meeting only by a written resolution signed by all shareholders who would be entitled to vote on that action at a meeting.

Table of Contents

Stockholder Proposals

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws may contain procedural requirements for submitting stockholder proposals. Extensity’s bylaws include specific requirements for stockholder proposals, including a requirement that stockholders submit notice of their intent to bring business before a meeting not less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding meeting and a requirement that certain information be included in a stockholder’s notice.

      Generally, under the U.S. securities laws, a stockholder may submit a proposal to be included in a corporation’s proxy statement if the stockholder:

  •  owns at least 1% or US$2,000 market value of the securities entitled to be voted on the proposal;
 
  •  has owned the securities for at least one year prior to the date of the proposal; and
 
  •  continues to own the securities through the date of the meeting.

      A stockholder must also comply with procedural requirements described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

      Under the U.S. securities laws, Extensity may exclude a shareholder proposal from its proxy statement if:

  •  it is not a proper subject for stockholder action under Delaware law;
 
  •  it would, if implemented, cause a violation of law;
 
  •  it is materially false or misleading;
 
  •  it relates to a personal grievance or is designed to further a personal interest not shared by other shareholders;
 
  •  it relates to operations of the company that are immaterial;
 
  •  Extensity lacks the power or authority to implement it;
 
  •  it deals with a matter relating to Extensity’s ordinary business operations;
 
  •  it relates to an election for membership to Extensity’s board of directors;
 
  •  it conflicts with a proposal submitted by Extensity at the same meeting;
 
  •  it has already been substantially implemented;
 
  •  it substantially duplicates a proposal of another proponent that Extensity is including in the proxy statement;
 
  •  it deals with substantially the same subject matter as another proposal that was included in Extensity’s proxy statement for a previous meeting and which did not receive the presumed level of support; or
 
  •  it relates to specific amounts of cash or stock dividends.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a shareholder entitled to vote at an annual meeting of shareholders may submit to the corporation a proposal with matters that the shareholder proposes to raise at the next annual meeting. Upon receipt of a proposal, a corporation that solicits proxies will include the proposal in the management proxy circular and, if requested by the shareholder, include in the management proxy circular a statement by the shareholder of not more than 500 words in support of the proposal, and the name and address of the shareholder.

166


Table of Contents

      A corporation may, within 21 days after receiving a shareholder proposal, notify the shareholder of its intention to omit the proposal from the management proxy circular if:

  •  the proposal is not submitted at least 90 days before the anniversary date of the notice of meeting that was sent to shareholders in connection with the previous annual meeting;
 
  •  it clearly appears that the primary purpose of the proposal is to enforce a personal claim or redress a personal grievance against the corporation or its directors, officers or securityholders;
 
  •  it clearly appears that the proposal does not relate in a significant way to the business or affairs of the corporation;
 
  •  the corporation, in the previous two years, included a proposal at the request of the shareholder and the shareholder failed to present the proposal at the annual meeting; or
 
  •  a substantially similar proposal was submitted to shareholders within the past two years and the proposal did not receive the prescribed level of support.

Appraisal Rights

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders have the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent from a merger or consolidation of the corporation by demanding payment in cash for the fair value of their shares, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Delaware General Corporation Law grants appraisal rights only for mergers or consolidations and not for a sale or transfer of assets, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation. In addition, no appraisal rights are available in a merger or consolidation to the holders of shares of any class or series which are, at the record date for the transaction:

  •  listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; or
 
  •  held by more than 2,000 stockholders, unless the transaction agreement requires the stockholders to receive anything other than:

  •  stock of the surviving corporation;
 
  •  stock of another corporation which is either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders;
 
  •  cash in lieu of fractional shares; or
 
  •  some combination of the above.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that shareholders entitled to vote on certain matters are entitled to exercise dissent rights and to be paid the fair value of their shares. The Canada Business Corporations Act does not distinguish for this purpose between listed and unlisted shares. Such matters include the following:

  •  any amalgamation with a corporation, other than with, or between subsidiary corporations;
 
  •  an amendment to the articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting the issue, transfer or ownership of shares;
 
  •  an amendment to the articles to add, change or remove any restriction upon the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on;
 
  •  a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction;
 
  •  a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business;

167


Table of Contents

  •  a court order permitting a stockholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement proposed by the corporation;
 
  •  amendments to the articles of a corporation which require a separate class or series vote, provided that a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy; or
 
  •  carrying out a going private transaction or a squeeze out transaction.

      Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an oppression remedy for any act of omission of a corporation which is oppressive, unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder’s interest.

Stockholder Derivative Actions

      Extensity. Derivative actions may be brought in Delaware by a stockholder on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a stockholder must state in the complaint that the stockholder was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which the stockholder complains. A stockholder may not sue derivatively unless the stockholder first makes demand on the board of directors of the corporation that it bring suit and the demand has been refused, unless it is shown that the demand would have been futile or the refusal was wrongful.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a complainant (defined in the same manner as for the purposes of the oppression remedy, as set forth below) may apply to the court for leave to bring an action in the name of, and on behalf of, a corporation or any subsidiary, or to intervene in a existing action to which any corporation is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the corporation. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, no action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless the court is satisfied that:

  •  the complainant has given not less than 14 days notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of the complainant’s intention to apply to the court and the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary do not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action;
 
  •  the complainant is acting in good faith; and
 
  •  it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.

      Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, the court in a derivative action may make any order it thinks fit including:

  •  an order authorizing the complainant or any other person to control the conduct of the action;
 
  •  an order directing the conduct of the action;
 
  •  an order directing that any damages payable by a defendant in the action will be paid, in whole or in part, directly to former and present security holders of the corporation or its subsidiary instead of the corporation or its subsidiary; and
 
  •  an order requiring the corporation or its subsidiary to pay reasonable legal fees and any other costs reasonably incurred by the complainant in connection with the action.

      Additionally, under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a court may order a corporation or its subsidiary to pay the complainant’s interim costs, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements. Although the complainant may be held accountable for the interim costs on final disposition of the complaint, the complainant is not required to give security for costs in a derivative action.

Oppression Remedy

      Extensity. Although directors and officers of a Delaware corporation owe fiduciary duties to the corporation and its stockholders, as described below, the Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide for a statutory oppression remedy.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides a statutory oppression remedy that enables a court to issue interim and final orders to rectify the matters complained of, if the court is satisfied, upon application of a complainant as defined below, that:

  •  any act or omission of the corporation or an affiliate effects a result;
 
  •  the business or affairs of the corporation or an affiliate are or have been carried on or conducted in a manner; or
 
  •  the powers of the directors of the corporation or an affiliate are or have been exercised in a manner;

that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or that unfairly disregards the interests of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation.

      A complainant includes:

  •  a present or former registered holder or beneficial owner of securities of a corporation or any of its affiliates;
 
  •  a present or former officer or director of the corporation or any of its affiliates;
 
  •  the director appointed under Section 260 of the Canada Business Corporations Act; and
 
  •  any other person who in the discretion of the court is a proper person to make a complaint.

      The oppression remedy provides the court with an extremely broad and flexible jurisdiction to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders and other complainants. While conduct which is in breach of fiduciary duties of directors or that is contrary to the legal right of a complainant will normally trigger the court’s jurisdiction under the oppression remedy, the exercise of that jurisdiction does not depend on a finding of a breach of such legal and equitable rights. Additionally, a court may order a corporation or its subsidiary to pay the complainant’s interim costs, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements. Although the complainant may be held accountable for the interim costs on final disposition, a complainant is not required to give security for costs in an oppression action.

Payment of Dividends and Repurchase of Shares

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, to declare dividends out of surplus, or if there is no surplus, out of the net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year, provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. In addition, Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only if the redemption or repurchase would not impair the capital of the corporation.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a corporation may pay a dividend by issuing fully paid shares of the corporation. A corporation may also pay a dividend in money or property unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that (1) the corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (2) the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a purchase or other acquisition by a corporation of its shares is generally subject to the solvency tests similar to those applicable to the payment of dividends, as set out above.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors owe a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to the corporation. The duty of care requires that the directors act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material information reasonably available to them. The duty of care also requires that directors exercise care in overseeing and investigating the conduct of corporate employees. The duty of loyalty may be summarized as the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in a manner which the directors reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the stockholders.

      Geac. Pursuant to section 122 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, the duty of loyalty requires directors of a corporation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and the duty of care requires that the directors exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. A corporation may indemnify these persons against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees and, except in actions initiated by or for the corporation, against all judgments, fines and settlement amounts if the indemnified person:

  •  acted in good faith;
 
  •  acted in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation; and
 
  •  in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

      A corporation may not indemnify a person in connection with an action initiated by, or for the corporation, for any claim, issue or matter where the person is judged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is entitled to indemnity. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any action, may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation will indemnify a present or former director or officer to the extent that he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any claim, issue or matter associated with the action.

      Generally, the Extensity charter and bylaws require Extensity to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Extensity has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that a corporation may advance monies to a director, or officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding for which the corporation is permitted to indemnify such a person. The individual shall repay such monies if he or she does not fulfill the conditions for indemnification.

      Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of another body corporate referred to as an “indemnifiable person”, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in

170


Table of Contents

respect of any civil, criminal, investigative or administrative action or proceeding in which the indemnifiable person is involved because of their association with the corporation or such body corporate, if he or she was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and: (i) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such corporation; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. An indemnifiable person is entitled under the Canada Business Corporations Act to such indemnity from the corporation if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set out in (i) and (ii) above. A corporation may, with the approval of a court, also indemnify an indemnifiable person in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, if he or she fulfills the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii), above.

      The Geac bylaws require Geac to indemnify specified persons to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law.

Director Liability

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may include a provision which limits or eliminates the liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided that the liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including intentional misconduct and breach of the duty of loyalty. Extensity’s charter contains a provision limiting the liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that no provision in a contract, the articles, the bylaws or a resolution relieves a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act or the regulations or relieves them from liability for a breach thereof. The bylaws of Geac provide certain protections from liability to directors and officers of Geac, as long as they have not breached their duties under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Access to Corporate Records

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any stockholder of a Delaware corporation may examine the list of stockholders and any stockholder making a written demand may inspect any other corporate books and records for any purpose reasonably related to the stockholder’s interest as a stockholder.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, stockholders, creditors, their agents and legal representatives, after giving the required notice, may examine the consolidated financial statements and certain of the records of a corporation such as Geac during usual business hours and take copies of extracts free of charge.

Preemptive Rights

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder does not have preemptive rights unless they are specifically granted in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Extensity’s charter does not provide for preemptive rights.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, if provided in the articles of a corporation, no shares of a class will be issued unless the shares have first been offered to stockholders holding shares of that class, and those stockholders have preemptive rights to acquire the offered shares in proportion to

171


Table of Contents

their holdings of the shares of that class, at the price and on the terms that those shares are to be offered to others. Geac’s charter does not provide for preemptive rights.

Transactions with Interested Directors

      Extensity. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a contract or transaction between a corporation and a director with a financial interest in the contract or transaction is not void or voidable if:

  •  the director discloses the material facts of his or her relationship or interest in the contract or transaction to the board of directors or the board of directors knows of the material facts of the interested director’s relationship or interest in the contract or transaction, and the board of directors authorizes the contract or transaction in good faith by affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors, although less than a quorum;
 
  •  the director discloses the material facts of his or her relationship or interest in the contract or transaction to the stockholders entitled to vote on the matter or the stockholders entitled to vote on the matter know of the material facts of the interested director’s relationship or interest in the contract or transaction, and the stockholders authorize the contract or transaction in good faith; or
 
  •  the contract or transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee of the board or the stockholders.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act requires that a director or officer of a corporation disclose to the corporation, in writing or by requesting to have it entered in the minutes of meetings of directors or of meetings of committees of directors, the nature and extent of any interests in a material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, with the corporation if the director or officer:

  •  is a party to the contract or transaction;
 
  •  is a director or an officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a party to the contract or transaction; or
 
  •  has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction.

      An interested director is prohibited from voting on a resolution to approve the contract or transaction except in certain circumstances, which include the contract or transaction relating primarily to his or her remuneration, a contract or transaction for indemnification or liability insurance of the director, or a contract or transaction with an affiliate of the corporation. If a director or officer has disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation when it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the corporation or its shareholders for any profit realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is not invalid. Even if the foregoing conditions are not met, the Canada Business Corporations Act provides that, a director or officer, acting honestly and in good faith, is not accountable to the corporation or to its shareholders for any profit realized from a contract or transaction for which disclosure is required under the Canada Business Corporations Act and the contract or transaction is not invalid by reason only of the interest of the director or officer in the contract or transaction, if:

  •  the contract or transaction is approved or confirmed by a special resolution at a meeting of shareholders;
 
  •  disclosure of the interest was made to the shareholders in a manner sufficient to indicate its nature before the contract or transaction was approved or confirmed; and
 
  •  the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation when it was approved or confirmed.

Requirements for Extraordinary Corporate Transactions

Vote Required for Extraordinary Transactions, Including Sale or Lease of Substantially All Assets

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law generally requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock to authorize any merger, consolidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation. Unless required by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, no authorizing stockholder vote is required of a corporation surviving a merger if:

  •  the merger agreement does not amend the surviving corporation’s certificate of incorporation;
 
  •  each share of stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger will be an identical outstanding or treasury share of the surviving corporation after the merger; and
 
  •  the number of shares to be issued in the merger plus those initially issued upon conversion do not exceed 20% of the surviving corporation’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the merger.

      Approval by a parent corporation’s stockholders is not required under the Delaware General Corporation Law for any merger or consolidation of a subsidiary with and into its parent corporation if the parent corporation owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of the subsidiary.

      Geac. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, extraordinary corporate actions, such as certain amalgamations, continuances, sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation other than in the ordinary course of business, and other extraordinary actions such as liquidations or dissolutions are required to be approved by special resolution. For such approvals, each share of the corporation carries the right to vote, whether or not the shares are designated as voting shares in the corporation’s articles. In some cases the special resolution to approve an extraordinary corporate action must also be approved separately by the holders of a class or series of shares, including a class or series that does not otherwise have the right to vote.

      A corporation may also apply to a court for an order approving an arrangement which includes an amalgamation, a transfer of all or substantially all the property of a corporation to another corporation in exchange for property, money or securities of the corporation, or liquidation and dissolution where it is not insolvent and where it is not practicable for the corporation to make such fundamental change under other provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act. The court may make any interim or final order it thinks fit with respect to the proposed arrangement.

      Shareholder approval is not required for an amalgamation between a parent corporation and one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries or between two or more wholly owned subsidiaries.

Anti-takeover Provisions and Interested Stockholder Transactions

      Extensity. The Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that any person who owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock is an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

  •  the corporation’s board of directors has approved, before the time the person became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder;
 
  •  upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced, excluding shares owned by (1) persons who are both directors and officers and (2) employee stock plans in which participants do not have a right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

173


Table of Contents

  •  the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent, of the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

      For the purposes of determining whether a person is the “owner” of 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, ownership is defined broadly to include direct and indirect beneficial ownership and the right, directly or indirectly, to acquire the stock or to control the voting or disposition of the stock. A “business combination” is also defined broadly to include:

  •  mergers and sales or other dispositions of 10% or more of the assets of a corporation with or to an interested stockholder;
 
  •  transactions resulting in the issuance or transfer to the interested stockholder of any stock of the corporation or its subsidiaries;
 
  •  transactions which would result in increasing the proportionate share of the stock of a corporation or its subsidiaries owned by the interested stockholder; and
 
  •  receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, except proportionately as a stockholder, of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits.

      These restrictions placed on interested stockholders do not apply under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:

  •  if the corporation’s original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
 
  •  if the corporation, by action of its stockholders, adopts an amendment to its bylaws or certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by the section, provided that the amendment:

  •  is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote;
 
  •  will not be effective until 12 months after its adoption; and
 
  •  will not apply to any business combination with a person who became an interested stockholder at or prior to adoption.

      Extensity’s charter does not exempt it from the application of the business combination section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      Geac. The Canada Business Corporations Act does not contain a comparable provision with respect to business combinations. However, the requirements of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including Rule 61-501 of the Ontario Securities Commission, contain requirements in connection with “related party transactions”. A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, acquires or transfers an asset or acquires or issues treasury securities or assumes or transfers a liability from or to, as the case may be, a related party by, any means in any one or any combination of transactions. “Related party” is defined in Rule 61-501 to include, in relation to the issuer or a related party involved in the transaction, directors, senior officers and holders of securities sufficient to materially affect control of the issuer or of such other party, or persons beneficially owning or exercising control or direction over more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer or of such other party.

      Rule 61-501 requires more detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to securityholders in connection with a related party transaction, and, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation by an independent valuer of a formal valuation of the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non-cash consideration offered therefor and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation in the proxy material. Rule 61-501 also requires that, subject to certain exceptions, the shareholders of the issuer, other than related parties, separately approve the transaction, by either a simple majority or two-thirds of the votes cast, depending on the circumstances.

      These requirements of Canadian securities regulators provide, in addition to specified exemptions in certain circumstances, for discretion to be exercised by such regulators to exempt parties from some or all of such requirements, with or without conditions, where such regulators consider it to be consistent with the public interest to do so. In general, these requirements of Canadian securities laws are administered and enforced by securities regulators rather than by the courts and the basis upon which those regulators take jurisdiction over a matter and the remedies that may be available differ significantly from those applicable to the requirements of corporate law contained in the Canada Business Corporations Act.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

      Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Extensity stockholders may object to the merger and demand in writing that Extensity pay the fair value of their shares. Determination of fair value is based on all relevant factors, but excludes any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the anticipation or accomplishment of the merger. Stockholders who wish to exercise appraisal rights must comply with all of the procedures to secure and preserve those rights. A copy of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which sets forth procedures a stockholder requesting appraisal must follow, is attached as Annex E to this document. These procedures are complicated and must be followed completely. An Extensity stockholder’s failure to comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262 can cause such stockholder’s appraisal rights to terminate. The following information is only a summary of the required procedures and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 262. Please review Section 262 for the complete procedures. Neither Geac nor Extensity will give you any notice other than as described in this document and as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

      General requirements. If you are an Extensity stockholder and you wish to exercise your appraisal rights, Section 262 generally requires the following:

  •  Written demand for appraisal. You must deliver a written demand for appraisal to Extensity before the vote is taken at the Extensity stockholders’ meeting. This written demand for appraisal must be separate from the proxy. Failure to return the proxy, or returning the proxy with a notation on it, will not alone constitute demand for appraisal. Similarly, a vote against the merger will not satisfy the requirement that you make written demand for appraisal. You should read this section and Section 262 for more details on making a demand for appraisal.
 
  •  Refrain from voting for the merger proposal. You must not vote in favor of adopting and approving the merger agreement and the merger. If you return a properly executed proxy or otherwise vote in favor of adopting and approving the merger agreement and the merger, your right to appraisal will terminate, even if you previously filed a written demand for appraisal. You do not have to vote against the merger agreement and the merger in order to preserve your appraisal rights.
 
  •  Continuous ownership of Extensity shares. You must continuously hold your shares of Extensity stock from the date you make the demand for appraisal through the closing of the merger.

      Requirements for Written Demand for Appraisal. A written demand for appraisal of Extensity stock is only effective if it is received by Extensity before the vote is taken at the special meeting on the proposal to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the merger and if it is signed by, or for, the stockholder of record who owns the shares at the time the demand is made. The demand should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address, the number of shares of stock owned, and that the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. The demand must be signed as the stockholder’s name appears on its stock certificate(s) and received by Extensity at Extensity, Inc., 2200 Powell Street, Suite 300, Emeryville, California 94608, Attention: Secretary.

      Written notice. Within 10 days after the closing of the merger, Extensity must give written notice that the merger has become effective to each stockholder who has fully complied with the conditions of Section 262.

      Petition with the Chancery Court. Within 120 days after the closing of the merger, either Extensity or any stockholder who has fully complied with the conditions of Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery. This petition must request that the Chancery Court determine the value of the shares of Extensity stock held by all of the stockholders who are entitled to appraisal rights. If you intend to exercise your rights of appraisal, you must fully comply with Section 262 and file a petition in the Chancery Court at the appropriate time. If you do not file such a petition within 120 days after the closing, you will lose your rights of appraisal. Extensity has no obligation to file a petition and has no intentions at this time to file a petition.

176


Table of Contents

      Withdrawal of demand. A stockholder may withdraw a demand for appraisal at any time within 60 days after the closing of the merger. A stockholder may also withdraw a demand for appraisal after 60 days after the closing of the merger, but only with the written consent of Extensity. A stockholder who withdraws a demand for appraisal will receive the merger consideration (either Geac common shares or cash, at Geac’s election) provided in the merger agreement.

      Request for Appraisal Rights Statement. If you intend to exercise your appraisal rights and have fully complied with the conditions of Section 262, you will be entitled to receive a statement from Extensity setting forth the number of shares for which appraisal rights have been exercised and the number of stockholders who own those shares. In order to receive this statement, you must send a written request to Extensity within 120 days after the closing of the merger. After the merger, Extensity will have 10 days after receiving a request to mail the statement to the stockholder.

      Chancery Court Procedures. If you properly file a petition for appraisal in the Chancery Court and deliver a copy to Extensity, Extensity will then have 20 days to provide the Chancery Court with a list of the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded appraisal and have not reached an agreement with Extensity as to the value of their shares. The Chancery Court will then send notice to all of the stockholders who have demanded appraisal. If the Chancery Court decides it is appropriate, it has the power to conduct a hearing to determine whether the stockholders have fully complied with and are entitled to appraisal under Section 262. The Chancery Court may also require these stockholders to submit their stock certificates to the Registry in Chancery so that it can note on the certificates that an appraisal proceeding is pending. Stockholders who do not follow the Chancery Court’s directions may be dismissed from the proceeding.

      Appraisal of Shares. After the Chancery Court determines which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights, the Chancery Court will appraise such stockholders’ shares. To determine the fair value of these shares, the Chancery Court will consider all relevant factors except for any appreciation or depreciation resulting from the anticipation or accomplishment of the merger. After the Chancery Court determines the fair value of these shares, it will direct Extensity to pay that value to the stockholders who are entitled to appraisal and who surrender their stock certificates to Extensity. The Chancery Court can also direct Extensity to pay interest, simple or compound, on that value if the Chancery Court determines that interest is appropriate on its own initiative or upon request.

      The Chancery Court could determine that the fair value of shares of Extensity stock is more than, the same as, or less than the merger consideration. In other words, if you demand appraisal rights, you could receive less consideration than you would under the merger agreement.

      Costs and Expenses of Appraisal Proceeding. The costs and expenses of the appraisal proceeding may be assessed against Extensity or the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding, or both, as the Chancery Court deems equitable under the circumstances.

      Loss of Stockholder’s Rights. If you demand appraisal and fully comply with Section 262, after the closing of the merger you will not be entitled to:

  •  vote your shares of stock for which you have demanded appraisal for any purpose;
 
  •  receive payment of dividends or any other distribution with respect to your shares, except for dividends or distributions, if any, that are payable to holders of record as of a record date before the effective time of the merger; or
 
  •  receive the payment of the consideration provided for in the merger agreement.

      However, if you have demanded appraisal and fully complied with Section 262, you can regain these rights if no petition for an appraisal is filed within 120 days after the closing of the merger, or if you deliver to Extensity a written withdrawal of your demand for an appraisal and your acceptance of the merger, either within 60 days after the closing of the merger or, if later than 60 days after the closing of the merger, with the written consent of Extensity. As explained above, these actions will also terminate your appraisal rights. However, once commenced, an appraisal proceeding in the Chancery Court cannot

177


Table of Contents

be dismissed without the Chancery Court’s approval. The Chancery Court may condition its approval upon any terms it considers just.

      If you fail to comply strictly with the procedures described previously you will lose your appraisal rights. Consequently, if you wish to exercise your appraisal rights, we strongly urge you to consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your appraisal rights.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

      Extensity files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Geac is a Canadian corporation and does not make regular filings with the SEC.

      You may read and copy reports, proxy statements and other information filed by Extensity with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. You may also obtain copies of the materials described above at prescribed rates by writing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Public Reference Section, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. Extensity files its reports, proxy statements and other information electronically with the SEC. You may access information on Extensity at the SEC web site containing reports, proxy statements and other information at www.sec.gov.

      Geac is a Canadian company whose common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. To date, Geac has not been required to file periodic reports, proxy statements or other information (other than this proxy statement/ prospectus and related information) with the SEC. Geac files reports, statements and other information with the Canadian provincial securities administrators, which are available at various of the Canadian provinces’ securities administrators’ public reference sources. Geac filings are also electronically available to the public from the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval, the Canadian equivalent of the SEC EDGAR system, at www.sedar.com.

      Following the completion of the merger, Geac will be required, under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, to file periodic reports with the SEC. However, as a “foreign private issuer,” Geac will be exempt from some other requirements of the Act, including the proxy rules and information requirements of Section 14 of the Act and the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions applicable to officers, directors and significant shareholders under Section 16 of the Act. If you make a stock election and continue to hold Geac common shares, Geac will furnish to you the same periodic reports that it currently furnishes to Geac shareholders, including audited annual consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements, unless you notify Geac of your desire not to receive these reports, as well as proxy circulars and related materials for annual and special meetings of shareholders.

      Geac filed a registration statement on Form F-4 to register with the SEC the Geac common shares to be issued to holders of Extensity common stock who elect to receive them in the merger. This document is a part of that registration statement and constitutes the prospectus of Geac in addition to being a proxy statement to the Extensity stockholders. As allowed by SEC rules, this document does not contain all of the information you can find in the registration statement or the exhibits to the registration statement. Please refer to the registration statement for further information with respect to Geac, Extensity and any Geac common shares to be issued in the merger.

      Following the merger, Geac expects to continue to be a “foreign private issuer” eligible to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act and the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system. The multi-jurisdictional disclosure system facilitates cross-border offerings of securities and continuous reporting by specified Canadian issuers. The system permits eligible companies in the United States and Canada to offer securities in the other country using the disclosure documents meeting the regulatory requirements of their home country. As a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and subject to reporting requirements of the various securities regulatory authorities in Canada, Geac is required to prepare and file financial information in Canada under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, or Canadian GAAP.

      Following the merger, Geac expects to file with the SEC and various securities regulatory authorities in Canada annual reports, including consolidated financial statements denominated in Canadian dollars and prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, or Canadian GAAP, which will include a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or US GAAP.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Geac Computer Corporation Limited

      We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Geac Computer Corporation Limited as at April 30, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

      In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at April 30, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2002 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

      As we discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets effective May 1, 2001.

(Canadian dollars, amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted)
April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)

1.     Nature of operations

      Geac Computer Corporation Limited (Geac or the Company) is a provider of software and systems solutions, which include cross-industry enterprise business application systems for financial administration and human resources functions and enterprise resources planning applications for manufacturing, distribution and local government administration as well as supply chain management. These cross-industry applications are marketed globally and span a number of product lines.

The principal markets for these applications are in the United States. Geac is a reseller of computer hardware and software and provides a broad range of professional services, including network and technical services, application hosting, consulting, implementation services, and training.

2.     Summary of significant accounting policies

 
Adoption of new accounting pronouncement

      Effective May 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill, requires annual impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life intangible assets. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has been reduced below its carrying value. Prior to May 1, 2001, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods of benefit not exceeding ten years.

 
      Basis of presentation

      These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and presented in Canadian dollars.

      The unaudited financial statements at and for the six months ended October 31, 2002 and 2001 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods. Unaudited results of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which will be realized for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2003. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002.

 
      Accounting estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including future income tax assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
      Consolidation

      These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Geac Computer Corporation Limited and its subsidiary companies. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)
 
      Cash and cash equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents are composed of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less.

 
      Inventory

      Work-in-progress and finished goods inventory are stated at the lower of cost on a first-in, first-out basis and net realizable value.

 
      Property, plant and equipment

      Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

     
• Buildings
  40 years straight-line
• Computers, processing and office equipment and machinery
  3 to 5 years straight-line
• Automobiles
  4 years straight-line
• Leasehold improvements
  Straight-line over the lease term
• Assets under capital leases
  Straight-line over the useful lives
of the assets, as indicated above
 
      Valuation of long-lived assets

      The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment is based on a comparison of estimated future cash flows anticipated to be generated during the remaining life of the asset to the net carrying value of the asset. An impairment loss is measured as the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 
      Goodwill and intangible assets

      Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

      In accordance with SFAS No. 142, effective May 1, 2001, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

      Amortizable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed 5 years.

      The Company reviews the carrying value of amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.

April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)
 
      Income taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, whereby future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for income tax purposes. Future income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates in the period in which the change occurs.

      Investment tax credits arising from research and development are deducted from related costs and, accordingly, are included in the determination of income in the same year as the related costs.

 
      Revenue recognition

      The Company’s products and services are normally sold as a bundled arrangement, which includes the sale of software licenses, implementation and integration services, maintenance and technical support and, in some instances, computer hardware. For contracts with multiple elements, and for which vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for the undelivered element exists, revenue is recognized for the delivered elements based upon the residual contract value as prescribed by Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with respect to certain transactions.”

      Revenue from the sale of software licenses is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Arrangements for which the fees are not fixed or determinable are recognized in the period they become known and due.

      For software contracts sold through indirect channels, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software products to the resellers, dependent on the shipping terms, provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured. Contract terms do not provide resellers with product rotation rights, or rights of return.

      For contracts involving significant implementation or customization essential to the functionality of the Company’s products, the license and service revenues are recognized over the period of the engagement, using the percentage-of-completion method. Progress is measured using milestones or costs incurred. Revenue is classified in the financial statements as either license revenue or professional services revenue based upon the Company’s estimates of fair value for each of the elements. A provision for estimated contract losses is recognized in the period the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

      Revenue from professional services, such as consulting fees or training fees, is recognized as the services are performed. Maintenance and support revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the related maintenance agreement, which is normally one year.

      The timing of revenue recognition often differs from contract payment schedules, resulting in revenues that have been earned but not yet billed. These amounts are included in unbilled receivables. Customer advances in excess of revenue earned and recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

      The Company has established VSOE of fair value of its products and services for purposes of accounting for multiple-element arrangement and believes that the evidence gathered complies with the

requirements of SOP 97-2. VSOE is established for each of the elements in the arrangement based on the following:

  •  Customers are generally required to renew their maintenance and technical support contracts annually and pay separately for such renewal. The Company considers the renewal rates, which are included as a term of the arrangement, to represent VSOE of fair value for the maintenance and technical support element in the arrangement.
 
  •  The Company has an established history of selling consulting and professional services separately. The Company charges standard hourly rates for consulting services, which are based on the nature of the services and the experience of the professionals that are performing the services. The Company considers these rates to represent VSOE of fair value for consulting services.
 
  •  The Company occasionally sells computer hardware, such as IBM e-server i-Series (formerly AS/400) servers, for use in conjunction with software systems where appropriate to provide a more complete solution to customers. The VSOE of fair value for this element of the arrangement is based on the price established by our suppliers and is consistent with the sales price actually paid by the Company to the suppliers, at a modest mark up.

      For the sale of software licenses bundled with a one-year service and maintenance contract, the Company generally invoices 100% of the fee at the inception of the license contract, with terms of 30 days. For maintenance renewals, 100% of the annual fee is charged at the inception of the maintenance contract, with terms of 30 days. Consulting contracts are generally billed based on time and materials, throughout the term of the assignment, with terms of 30 days.

     Research and development costs

      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

     Software development costs

      The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” The Company capitalizes computer software development costs that are incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility, which the Company has defined as completion of a working model ready for release to customers. The Company has not capitalized any software development costs to date, as costs that would qualify have been insignificant and have been expensed as incurred.

     Shipping and handling costs

      Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of revenues.

     Advertising costs

      Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $4,995 in fiscal 2002 and $6,221 in fiscal 2001.

     Foreign currency translation

      Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations, which are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency, which is Canadian dollars, are translated into the functional

currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at exchange rates prevalent at the transaction date. Such exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net earnings (loss) in the period in which they arise. For foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the Canadian dollar, all assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses items are translated at the average rate for the period, with exchange differences arising on translation accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss).

     Stock-based compensation plans

      The Company has two stock-based compensation plans, which are described in note 13.

      SFAS No. 123 requires that an enterprise recognize or, at its option, disclose the impact of the fair value of stock options and other forms of stock compensation granted to employees in the determination of net income. The Company has elected to measure compensation cost as permitted by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the Company’s shares and the exercise price (referred to as the “intrinsic value method”). Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized and expensed over the vesting period of the individual award on a straight-line basis. Pro forma disclosure of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share as if the fair value method required by SFAS 123 had been applied is provided in note 13.

      The Company has modified certain stock options by reducing the exercise price and extending the life of the options. Under FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” a reduction in the exercise price results in accounting for the modified options using variable plan accounting, whereby compensation cost is estimated and recorded each period from the modification date to the date of exercise or expiry, and the extension of the life of the options results in a new measurement date.

     New accounting pronouncements

      On June 15, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2002. This standard requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the year in which the obligation is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and amortized to expense over the asset’s useful life. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets and consequently amends APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

      In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 13 and Technical Corrections as of April 2002.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS

No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

      In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which supersedes EITF 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.” The provision of this statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

      During the last half of fiscal 2001, the Company completed a comprehensive review of both acquired software (note 6) and goodwill. As a result, management determined that there was no longer reasonable assurance of the recoverability of $252,831 of intangible assets and goodwill, of which $229,102 related to the acquisition of JBA Holdings plc. Accordingly, that amount was written off as an unusual item (note 17).

      The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

10.     Bank indebtedness

      The Company entered into a 24-month revolving credit facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 in the amount of US$20,000. This indebtedness was collateralized by a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and bore interest at a variable rate with a minimum of 9.75%. There was no drawdown under this credit facility, and it was terminated by the Company in March 2002.

      The Company also had a 364-day revolving operating bank line of credit of US$225,000 bearing interest at a variable rate based on US dollar LIBOR, sterling LIBOR, or EURIBOR plus a spread based on certain financial ratios. The spread, which ranged from 1.00% to 1.37%, was adjusted quarterly. In addition, the Company was obligated to pay a commitment fee, which ranged from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum on the unused portion. This operating bank line of credit matured on December 22, 2000, and the Company faced the requirement to repay the outstanding obligation of approximately US$63,800 in loans. The Company entered into three separate standstill agreements between December 22, 2000 and March 15, 2001, which culminated in a repayment agreement on April 27, 2001. As a result of these agreements, the outstanding balance was repaid by September 30, 2001. The interest rate payable was LIBOR plus 3.00% for sterling loans and a floating rate plus 2.00% on loans payable in the U.S.A. and Canada. In addition, forbearance fees were payable on the indebtedness existing on the 15th of July, August, and September 2001 at 2.00%, 2.00%, and 2.50%, respectively.

      The line of credit was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The outstanding balance in loans was nil at April 30, 2002 and US$17,000 and £6,000 for a total of $39,395 at April 30, 2001.

      Letters of credit and bank guarantees are outstanding for approximately $2,432 at April 30, 2002 and $2,611 at April 30, 2001. The Company is potentially liable for performance bonds of approximately $3,128 at April 30, 2002 and $3,134 at April 30, 2001, which are routinely issued on its behalf by insurance companies and other third parties in connection with outstanding contracts with various public sector customers.

      During the normal course of business, various claims and proceedings have been, or may be, instituted against the Company. The disposition of the matters that are pending or asserted, for which a provision has not already been made, are not expected by management to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or its results of operations.

13.     Share Capital

      The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, with no par value, and an unlimited number of preference shares, with no par value, issuable in series.

      The Company was eligible to purchase up to a maximum of 1,865 common shares, being 3% of the 62,163 common shares outstanding as at October 16, 2000, under a normal course issuer bid effective from October 20, 2000 to October 19, 2001. During fiscal 2001, the Company purchased and subsequently cancelled 226 of its common shares at an average price of $4.67 per share through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The premium over book value on repurchased and cancelled shares, totalling $650, was charged to retained earnings (deficit). In fiscal 2002, there was no repurchase and cancellation of shares.

      In May 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC World Markets Inc. under which the underwriters agreed to buy 10,000 units via special warrants. Each unit consisted of one common share plus one half of a common share purchase warrant, and the units were issued at $2.00 per unit, for aggregate proceeds of $20,000. The net proceeds after underwriters’ fees and other issue expenses were $17,885. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the purchaser to acquire one common share of the Company for $2.75 at any time up to 18 months from the close of the offering on June 29, 2001.

April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)

      On August 1, 2001, the 10,000 special warrants were exercised, which resulted in the issuance of 10,000 common shares and 5,000 common share purchase warrants. The net proceeds were allocated to the two elements for accounting purposes. This allocation was based on the relative fair values of the common shares without the common share purchase warrants and the fair value of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. As a result, $16,135 was allocated to share capital, and $1,750 was recorded in accumulated paid in capital. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation model with expected volatility of 45%, risk-free interest rate of 2.5% and an expected life of 18 months. As at April 30, 2002, no common share purchase warrants have been exercised.

      The Company also completed another equity financing on September 27, 2001. The sale of 6,000 common shares at $4.50 per share raised gross proceeds of $27,000. The net proceeds after commissions and other issue expenses were $24,775.

Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement

      Pursuant to the Company’s Shareholder Protection Rights Plan (the “Plan”), on March 15, 2000, the board of directors of the Company authorized the issuance of one right (a “Right”) for each common share that was outstanding on that date or issued subsequently. Generally, each Right, except for Rights owned by an acquiring person (as defined in the Plan) will, if certain events occur, constitute the right to purchase from the Company, on payment of the exercise price, that number of shares of the Company having an aggregate market price equal to twice the exercise price, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Prior to the separation time (as defined in the Plan), the exercise price for a Right is equal to three times the market price from time to time. After the separation time, the exercise price is three times the market price at the separation time. The Rights become exercisable after the separation time, which generally occurs ten days after a person acquires beneficial ownership of or announces an intention to acquire 20% or more of the voting securities of the Company unless the board of directors determines that it should be a later date. Until the separation time, the Rights trade together with the existing common shares. The Plan will expire on the date of the annual meeting of the Company to be held in 2003, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances. The board of directors may, in certain circumstances, redeem outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right.

Stock Ownership Plan

      An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”), under which employees may make quarterly purchases of shares of the Company at a 10% discount from the lower of the weighted average market price of the shares during the fiscal quarter or the average market closing price during the last five days in the quarter, has been in existence since 1984. During fiscal 2002, 65 shares were issued to employees under this plan at a weighted average price of $3.49 per share. During fiscal 2001, 108 shares were issued at a weighted average price of $3.44 per share under this Plan. After the shares were issued under the Plan on July 31, 2001, the Company replaced the Plan with an amended and restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “New Plan”) effective August 1, 2001. The maximum number of shares available for issuance to plan members under the New Plan is 600, which excludes the number of shares issued under the previous plan. The aggregate number of shares available to be issued under the New Plan as at April 30, 2002 is 563. The Company’s share capital account was credited for $228 in fiscal 2002 and $373 in fiscal 2001 for cash received from employees for purchases of stock under the stock ownership plan.

Stock Option Plan

      Options have been granted to employees, directors, and executive officers to purchase common shares at or above the prevailing market price at the time of the grant under the Employee Stock Option Plan. Options under this plan usually vest over four years and expire ten years from the date granted. The total number still available to be issued under the plan at April 30, 2002 is 1,585 options.

SFAS No. 123, the pro forma net income (loss) and related net income (loss) per share figures would be as follows:

                   
Years Ended April 30,

2002
$ 2001 $


Net income (loss)
    42,064       (234,792 )
Additional compensation cost
    (14,979 )     (17,031 )
     
     
 
Pro forma net income (loss) for the year

      The weighted average fair values of stock options granted, including any modifications which are considered new grants, in 2002 and 2001 were $4.78 and $8.68, respectively. The fair values of options or awards granted under the stock ownership plan were estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions:

                 
Years Ended April 30,

2002 2001


Risk-free interest rate
    5.17 %     5.75 %
Expected volatility
    76.09 %     58.96 %
Dividend yield
    nil       nil  
Weighted average expected option life
    7 years       7 years  

      The Black-Scholes model was developed to estimate the fair value of traded options and awards, which have no vesting restrictions, and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected time until exercise. Because the Company’s employee stock options and stock awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and awards, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, existing models, including the Black-Scholes model, do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options and stock awards.

14.     Financial Instruments

      Financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.

 
     a)  Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

      The fair values of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. In fiscal 2002, there is no significant difference between the carrying value and the fair value of long-term debt. The Company is not a party to any significant derivative instruments.

April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)
 
     b)  Credit Risk

      The Company is subject to credit risk for billed and unbilled receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Receivables are with customers in many diverse industries and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company places its temporary excess cash in high-quality, short-term financial instruments issued or guaranteed by major financial institutions in the countries in which it operates or in similar low-risk instruments.

 
     c)  Interest Rate Risk

      The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its operating bank loans and on its floating rate long-term debt. The annual increase or decrease in interest expense for each one percentage change in interest rates would have been $54 for the floating rate debt outstanding at April 30, 2002 and $394 for the floating rate debt outstanding at April 30, 2001.

 
     d)  Foreign Exchange Risk

      The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk because most of its business is transacted in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Accordingly, most of its financial instruments are denominated in foreign currencies. The amount of the net risk fluctuates in the normal course of business, as transactions in various jurisdictions are concluded.

15.     Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding

      The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding and the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculations:

                                 
Six Months Ended Years Ended
October 31 April 30,


2002 2001 2002 2001




(Unaudited)
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding
    78,326       68,178       73,130       62,068  
Stock options and warrants
    2,032       1,730       2,654       122  
     
     
     
     
 
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding
    80,358       69,908       75,784       62,190  
     
     
     
     
 

      The diluted net loss per share for the year ended April 30, 2001 was the same as the basic net loss per share since the dilutive effect of stock options was not included in the calculation, because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted EPS in 2001 was calculated using 62,068 shares.

16.     Segmented Information

      The Company reports segmented information according to SFAS No. 131, “Segment Disclosures.” This standard requires segmentation based on the way management organizes segments for monitoring performance.

      The Company operates the following business segments, which have been segregated based on product offerings, reflecting the way that management organizes the segments within the business for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

      Enterprise Applications Systems (EAS) products include cross-industry enterprise business applications for financial administration and human resource functions, and enterprise resource planning applications for manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain management.

      Industry-Specific Applications (ISA) products include industry-specific business applications for the real estate, construction, banking, hospitality, and publishing industries, as well as a range of applications for libraries and public safety administration.

      Accounting policies for the operating segments are the same as those described in note 2. There are no significant inter-segment revenues. Segment assets consist of working capital items, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be corporate assets. Property, plant and equipment are typically shared by operating segments and those assets are managed by geographic region, rather than through the operating segments.

      The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on segment operating profit, which is defined as income or loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net restructuring charges and other unusual items and before corporate overhead charges to the different segments.

Restructuring Charges

      For the year ended April 30, 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $39,566.

      Workforce reduction charges of $16,758 consist of the accrued cost of severance and benefits associated with approximately 643 employees who either (i) were notified of termination during fiscal 2002 and were terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 or would be terminated in fiscal 2003 or (ii) were not notified of their planned termination prior to the end of fiscal 2002 but are expected to be terminated in fiscal 2003 and are employed in countries where statutory minimum payments are associated with involuntary terminations. The 643 employees are primarily from the support and services, general and administrative, development and sales and marketing areas. The workforce reduction was primarily in North America and Europe and extended across both segments. As at April 30, 2002, the workforce reduction provision balance has been drawn down by cash payments of $1,588 made to approximately 100 terminated employees. The remaining provision is expected to be substantially drawn-down by the end of fiscal 2003.

      In conjunction with the above noted workforce reduction, the Company identified a number of leased facilities consisting primarily of office space, that were no longer required. As a result, the Company recorded premises rationalization costs of approximately $17,743 consisting primarily of the Company’s future contractual obligations under operating leases offset by an estimated sublease amount on leases that the Company could not terminate. At April 30, 2002, the provision balance for premises rationalization has

(Canadian dollars, amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted)
April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)

been drawn down by cash payments of $1,015, resulting in an ending provision balance of $16,728. The remaining provision is expected to be substantially drawn-down by the end of fiscal 2006, when the leases expire.

      Property, plant and equipment write-downs of approximately $5,065 consisted of the write-down of computer and office equipment and leasehold improvements that provided no future economic benefit to the Company as a result of the premises rationalization and other restructuring activities.

 
Other Unusual Charges

      In connection with the Company’s comprehensive review of its operations during fiscal 2002, the Company engaged the services of outside consultants to assist with the Company’s strategic planning. This resulted in charges of $4,647, of which $1,941 was paid in cash during fiscal 2002. The remaining provision was settled in cash with a payment of $2,706 during the six-month period ended October 31, 2002.

      During fiscal 2002, the Company terminated its 24-month revolving credit facility prior to the expiration date of the facility. This resulted in a write-down of $2,925 of unamortized deferred financing costs directly related to the credit facility. This cost has been classified as an extinguishment of debt costs.

      Certain legal claims, primarily contract disputes involving JBA Holding plc, which the Company acquired in September 1999, were settled during the fiscal year. These settlements resulted in charges of $8,059. These charges were offset by receipt of a $2,738 cash settlement in its favor relating to pending litigation in which it was the plaintiff.

Reversal of Acquisition Accruals

      During fiscal 2002, the Company evaluated its restructuring provisions and provisions for other unusual charges that were established prior to fiscal 2001, and determined that certain of the accruals were no longer required for their originally intended purpose. Therefore, in accordance with the guidance in SAB 100, Topic 5-P, the accruals were reversed. The $10,878 million in reversals consists mainly of product commitments and other accrued liabilities recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisition of JBA Holdings plc in September 1999 and of the assets of Clarus Corporation in October 1999. Pursuant to EITF 95-3, these costs were accrued as part of the costs of the acquisitions, and allocated to goodwill. In fiscal 2001, as a result of the Company’s annual review for impairment of goodwill and intangibles, the goodwill and intangibles associated with the JBA acquisition were written down. The Company determined that it was no longer appropriate to carry the full amount of these accruals. As a result, a reversal of $3,967 was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and the remaining accrual balance of $6,911 was reversed as a credit to net restructuring charges and other unusual items.

Fiscal 2001

      During fiscal 2001, the Company was adversely affected by an industry-wide reduction in demand for software and professional services following the Year 2000 transition. In addition, the Company’s revenues were indirectly affected by the initiation of a review process in which the Company considered the possible sale of all or parts of the Company. As a result, the Company implemented a work plan to streamline its operations around its core operations and to reduce and control costs. As a result of this effort, the Company incurred restructuring charges and other unusual items of $43,112.

April 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited as of October 31, 2002 and 2001 and
for the six months periods then ended)
 
Restructuring Charges

      For the year ended April 30, 2001, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $31,737

      Workforce reduction charges of $21,337 consist of severance and benefits costs associated with the termination of approximately 1,353 employees during fiscal 2001. These employees were primarily from the support and services, development, sales and marketing and general and administrative areas. The workforce reduction was primarily in North America and Europe and extended across both segments. At April 30, 2001, the workforce reduction provision balance had been drawn down by cash payments of $17,071. The remaining provision was substantially drawn-down by cash payments of $3,819 in fiscal 2002, and $370 in the six-month period ended October 31, 2002.

      In conjunction with the above noted workforce reduction, the Company identified a number of leased facilities, consisting primarily of office space, that were no longer required. As a result, the Company recorded premises rationalization costs of approximately $6,598, consisting primarily of the Company’s future contractual obligations under operating leases net of an estimated sublease amount on leases that the Company cannot terminate. At April 30, 2001, the provision balance for premises rationalization had been drawn down by a cash payment of $2,135, resulting in an ending provision balance of $4,463. The remaining provision was substantially drawn-down by cash payments of $3,715 in fiscal 2002 and $487 in the six-month period ended October 31, 2002.

      Property, plant and equipment write-downs of approximately $3,634 consisted of the write-down associated with computers and office equipment and leasehold improvement that provided no benefit to the company as a result of the rationalization and other restructuring.

 
Other Unusual Charges

      During the year, the Company recorded a provision for legal claims of $11,375, related primarily to contract disputes involving JBA Holdings plc, which the Company acquired in September 1999. At April 30, 2001, the provision balance had been drawn-down by cash settlement payments of $1,732, resulting in an ending provision balance of $9,643. The remaining provision was substantially drawn-down by the end of second quarter of fiscal 2003.

 
Intangible Assets and Goodwill Impairments

      As part of its review of the financial results during fiscal 2001, the Company performed an assessment of the carrying values of its intangible assets and goodwill. Based on the assessment performed, the Company recorded a write-down of intangible assets and goodwill of $81,514 and $171,317, respectively, based on the amount by which the carrying amount of these assets exceeded their fair value. The write-down was primarily related to the goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of JBA Holdings plc.

      Fair value was determined based on estimated future cash flows, which projected losses, for the businesses that had separately distinguishable intangible asset balances and whose operations had not yet been fully integrated into the Company’s. The assumptions supporting the estimated future cash flows reflected management’s best estimates.

      Substantially all of the Company’s activities are carried out through operating subsidiaries in a number of countries. The income tax effect of operations depends on the income tax legislation in each country and operating results of each subsidiary and the parent company.

      The Company has non-capital losses of approximately $235,700 in fiscal 2002 and $207,600 in fiscal 2001, which are available for carry-forward against taxable income in future years and which expire as shown in the table below. Certain non-capital losses may be subject to restrictions on their availability to shelter income.

      The Company has capital losses of approximately $182,000 in fiscal 2002 and $9,100 in fiscal 2001, which are available for carry-forward against taxable capital gains in future years and which expire as shown in the table below.

      In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. Management evaluates a variety of factors, including the Company’s earnings history, the number of years the Company’s non-capital losses can be carried forward, and projected future taxable income. Management believes that a valuation allowance is required for a portion of the non-capital loss carry-forwards in certain jurisdictions where it is unlikely that the entities will generate sufficient taxable income in the carry-forward years to utilize the losses. For the balance of future tax assets, although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the future tax assets will be realized.

19.     Related Party Transactions

      An employee loan to acquire shares of $375 at April 30, 2002 and at April 30, 2001 represents a loan due from a former officer of the Company. The loan was made in October 1999 to enable the former officer to acquire shares of the Company. The loan is collateralized by 216 shares of the Company. By its terms, the loan is repayable three years following termination of the officer’s employment, which occurred in October 2000, and bears interest at the prime rate from the date of termination of his employment. The carrying value of the loan was written down to the market value of the underlying shares of the Company in fiscal 2001 and an estimated settlement cost of $2,518 was recorded.

      The Company acquired legal services from a law firm of which the Company’s Senior Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Secretary is a partner, in the amount of $24 in fiscal 2001 and $1,686 in fiscal 2002.

20.     Acquisitions

      The Company entered into a definitive agreement on August 5, 2002 to acquire certain assets of EBC Informatique, a European hardware and software solutions provider, headquartered in France. These assets included customer contracts, intellectual property rights, trademarks and fixed assets. The purchase price was approximately $3,800. As of October 31, 2002, the Company had not completed its valuation of assets and liabilities associated with the purchase. Based on purchase documents, the Company recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $1,300 and goodwill of approximately $5,100. The valuation is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

      On August 26, 2002, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Extensity, Inc. (“Extensity”). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Extensity shareholders can elect to receive US$1.75 in cash or 0.627 of a Geac common share for each share of Extensity common stock held. Both the amount of cash and number of Geac shares included in the transaction could be adjusted, depending on the level of Extensity’s working capital before closing. The total value of the transaction, excluding transaction costs, is currently estimated to be approximately US$47,000.

      During the year ended April 30, 2001, the total purchase price of the businesses acquired by the Company was $45,009, the majority of which related to the businesses shown in the table below. The Company acquired the business assets of Management Data GmbH of Vienna, Austria, together with all of the issued and outstanding shares of 13 worldwide subsidiaries of Management Data GmbH. It also acquired certain of the assets of Praxa Limited’s local government software business in Australia and New Zealand. Acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method with the results of operations of each business included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

      The total purchase price of Management Data GmbH of Vienna, Austria was $42,270. The assets were held as a temporary investment before they were sold as part of the sale of the Smartstream Reconciliation Systems business on July 13, 2000 (note 21).

      The total purchase price of the Praxa Limited local government software business was $2,060. The acquired businesses included, at fair value, $961 of current assets, $63 of property, plant and equipment, $3,046 of acquired software, and $2,308 of current liabilities. The difference between the total purchase price and the net fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired was $298 and was accounted for as goodwill.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(United States dollars)
(All interim information relating to the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 is unaudited)

1.     Organization and Basis of Presentation

      Extensity, Inc. provides Internet-based workforce optimization software applications designed to improve the productivity of employees across the enterprise and to enhance enterprise operating efficiency. Extensity was incorporated in Delaware in November 1995.

      On January 27, 2000, the SEC declared effective Extensity’s Registration Statement on Form S-1. Pursuant to this Registration Statement, Extensity completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 4,600,000 shares of its common stock (including 600,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option) at an initial offering price of $20.00 per share (the “Offering”). Proceeds to Extensity from the Offering, after calculation of the underwriters’ discounts, commissions, and concessions, totaled approximately $83.3 million, net of offering costs of approximately $2.2 million.

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extensity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Extensity Europe Limited, which commenced operations in September 1999. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
      Revenue recognition

      Revenues are derived from software licenses and related services, which include implementation and integration, technical support, training and consulting. For contracts with multiple elements, and for which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements exists, revenue is recognized for the delivered elements based upon the residual contract value as prescribed by Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions.”

      Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Arrangements for which the fees are not deemed fixed or determinable are recognized in the period they become due.

      Services revenue primarily comprises revenue from consulting fees, maintenance contracts and training. Services revenue from consulting and training is recognized as the service is performed.

      Maintenance contracts include the right to unspecified upgrades and ongoing support. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis as services revenue over the life of the related contract, which is typically one year.

      In the event Extensity enters into a contract involving significant implementation, customization or services which are essential to the functionality of the software, license and service revenues are recognized over the period of each engagement, using the percentage-of-completion method. Labor hours incurred is used as the measure of progress towards completion. Revenue for these arrangements is classified as license revenue and services revenue based upon Extensity’s estimates of fair value for each element and is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion ratio. A provision for estimated losses on engagements is made in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

      Extensity has entered into agreements under which value added resellers receive unspecified future products during the terms of the arrangements (typically two years) in consideration for upfront non-refundable fees. Consistent with the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), Extensity recognizes such fees ratably, on a subscription basis, over the terms of the arrangements.

(All interim information relating to the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 is unaudited)

      Extensity has accumulated relevant information from contracts to use in determining the availability of vendor-specific objective evidence and believes that such information complies with the criteria established in SOP 97-2 as follows:

  •  Customers are required to pay separately for annual maintenance. Future renewal rates are included as a term of the contracts. Extensity uses the renewal rate as vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for maintenance.
 
  •  Extensity charges standard hourly rates for consulting services based upon the nature of the services and experience of the professionals performing the services. Extensity has a history of selling services separately.
 
  •  For training, Extensity charges standard course rates for each course based upon the duration of the course, and such courses are separately priced in contracts. Extensity has a history of selling such courses separately.
 
  •  Customer billing occurs in accordance with contract terms. Customer advances and amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

 
      Concentration of Credit Risk and Certain Risks

      Financial instruments that potentially subject Extensity to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Extensity’s accounts receivable are derived from customers located primarily in the United States. Extensity performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Extensity maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Extensity wrote off approximately $164,000 and $60,000 in accounts receivable for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Extensity wrote off approximately $412,000 and $142,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      At December 31, 2001, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2000, two customers accounted for 32% and 10% of total accounts receivable. At September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

      No single customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. One customer accounted for approximately 10% and 11% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 or 2001.

      Approximately 10% and 11% of Extensity’s revenues were derived from Extensity’s international business, primarily in Europe, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and approximately 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In the year ended December 31, 1999, all of Extensity’s revenues were derived from U.S. customers.

      The market in which Extensity competes is characterized by changing customer needs, frequent new software product introductions and rapidly evolving industry standards. Significant technological change could adversely affect Extensity’s operating results.

      Extensity operates in one single reportable business segment and, therefore, no disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an

Enterprise and Related Information,” are necessary. Virtually all of Extensity’s long-lived assets are located in the United States of America.

 
      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
      Foreign Currency Translation

      The functional currency for Extensity’s international subsidiary is the local currency of the country in which it operates. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the exchange rate on the date those elements are recognized. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss).

 
      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      Extensity considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Extensity maintains cash balances at banks in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $100,000.

 
      Short-Term Investments

      Extensity accounts for its investments in high-grade corporate debt securities under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Extensity has classified all marketable debt securities as held-to-maturity and has accounted for these investments at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002, Extensity’s carrying value of its short-term investments approximated their amortized cost basis.

 
      Restricted Long-Term Investments

      The restricted long-term investments consist of several one-year certificates of deposit required as collateral for Extensity’s letters of credit (Note 5).

 
      Software Development Costs

      Extensity capitalizes software development costs under the provisions of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, which Extensity has defined as completion of a working model. Extensity has not capitalized any software development costs to date as costs that would qualify were immaterial and has charged software development costs as incurred to research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 
      Advertising Costs

      Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets. Currently, Extensity’s computer hardware and software and assets under capital lease are amortized over three years and furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and office equipment are amortized over six years (Note 3).

      When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 
      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

      Extensity evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of any asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell (Note 12).

 
      Income Taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 
      Stock-Based Compensation

      Extensity accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, between the fair value of Extensity’s stock and the exercise price of the option on the measurement date, which is typically the date of grant.

      In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” an interpretation of APB No. 25. FIN 44 was effective July 1, 2000. In June 2001, Extensity executed a stock option exchange program and accounted for the stock options exchange program according to FIN 44 (Note 9).

      Extensity accounts for options granted to non-employees under SFAS No. 123. Under SFAS No. 123 and the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” options are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date of grant.

      Net Loss Per Share

      Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

      Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following potential common shares for the periods presented (in thousands):

The weighted-average exercise price of warrants outstanding was $14.50 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and $3.08 as of December 31, 1999, and $14.50 as of September 30, 2002 and 2001.

 
      Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

      In July of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separately from goodwill. Recorded goodwill and intangibles will be evaluated against these new criteria and may result in certain intangibles being subsumed into goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially recorded as goodwill may be separately identified and recognized apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The provisions of each statement, which apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, were adopted by Extensity on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these accounting standards did not result in a significant impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations for any historic transactions.

      In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for The Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (“APB 30”), “Reporting Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a

Business.” SFAS No. 144 develops one accounting model (based on the model in SFAS No. 121) for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale, addresses the principal implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. That requirement eliminates APB 30’s requirement that discontinued operations be measured at net realizable value or that entities include under “discontinued operations” in the financial statements amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Extensity does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations.

      In November 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products.” This issue presumes that consideration from a vendor to a customer or a reseller should not be recorded as revenue unless (1) the vendor receives an identifiable benefit in return for the consideration paid that is sufficiently separable from the sale to the customer, such that the vendor could have entered into an exchange transaction with a party other than a purchaser of its products and services in order to receive that benefit and (2) the benefit’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. This issue is to be adopted no later than in annual or interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Extensity adopted the provisions of this consensus in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Such adoption had no impact on Extensity’s financial position or results of operations.

3.     Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment consists of the following:

4.     Income Taxes

      The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 relates to foreign income tax associated with Extensity’s European subsidiary. The difference between the amount of income tax benefit recorded of zero and the amount of income tax benefit calculated using the federal statutory

rate of 34% is primarily due to net operating losses being fully offset by a valuation allowance. Significant components of Extensity’s deferred tax balances are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:

Net deferred tax assets
  $     $  
     
     
 

      Due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance has been provided to offset net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase in the valuation allowance was $7.7 million, $11.4 million and $8.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      As of December 31, 2001, Extensity had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $82.7 million and $33.9 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. Such carryforwards expire through 2021 and 2011 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. At December 31, 2001, Extensity also had research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards of $2.7 million for federal and state purposes, respectively. The federal research and experimentation credits expire through 2021 and the state credits expire when exhausted.

      Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the benefits from net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances including as a result of a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three-year period. The issuance of Extensity’s convertible preferred securities may have resulted in a limitation on utilization of such net operating loss carryforwards.

5.     Commitments and Contingencies

      Extensity leases certain equipment under various non-cancelable capital leases. The capital leases expire through 2003. Extensity leases office space under various non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2006. Rental expense was approximately $3,021,000, $2,212,000 and $864,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, net of sublease income of approximately $156,000 in

      In connection with certain capital lease transactions in 1999, Extensity granted to the lessor warrants to purchase 22,425 shares of Series D preferred stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. Such warrants were valued at approximately $44,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 40%, risk-free interest rate of 6% and expected life of 10 years. The value of these warrants was recorded as a long-term asset, which is being amortized over the capital lease term of 4 years. Such amortization amounted to $17,000, $11,000 and $11,000 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. On the effective date of Extensity’s initial public offering (“IPO”) all outstanding preferred stock was converted to common stock. These warrants were exercised in 2000 in exchange for common stock. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2001.

      Extensity has established letters of credit totaling $1,397,000 for the benefit of Extensity’s office space lessor and credit card processor. These letters of credit are collateralized by certificates of deposit amounting to $1,397,000. As of December 31, 2001, no amounts were outstanding under these letters of credit.

      Extensity and certain of its officers and directors, as well as certain of the underwriters from Extensity’s IPO were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and captioned FELZEN V. EXTENSITY, INC. ET AL., CASE NO. 01-CV-11246. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Extensity believes these charges to be without merit and, therefore, has not accrued any amounts in connection with this matter.

6.     Debt

      In March 1998, Extensity entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for $3,500,000. Borrowings under this loan accrued interest at an average rate of 11.4% per annum and matured through December 31, 2001. The agreement provided the lender with the right to exercise warrants to purchase 137,878 shares of Series D preferred stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. Extensity recorded the loan at a discount of approximately $265,000, which was allocated to the warrants. The debt discount was calculated in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt

Issued with Stock Purchase Warrant.” The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with expected volatility of 40%, risk-free interest of 6% and expected life of 10 years. Amortization of the debt discount was recorded as interest expense and amounted to $36,000, $88,000 and $88,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. On the effective date of Extensity’s IPO all outstanding preferred stock was converted to common stock. These warrants were exercised in 2000 in exchange for common stock. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2001. The loan was repaid in full during fiscal 2001.

      On December 16, 1999, Extensity sold 500,000 shares of its Series F Preferred Stock at a price of $9.00 per share for gross proceeds of $4.5 million in cash to an investor. The difference between the deemed fair value of the series F preferred stock of $12.00 and the price per share of $9.00 was deemed to be a beneficial conversion feature analogous to a dividend to the preferred stockholders as prescribed under the provisions of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios.” The value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1.5 million was recognized immediately at the date of issuance as the preferred stockholders had the right to convert their preferred shares at their option.

      On January 27, 2000, the SEC declared effective Extensity’s Registration Statement on Form S-1. Pursuant to this Registration Statement, Extensity completed an IPO of 4,600,000 shares of its common stock (including 600,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option) at an initial offering price of $20.00 per share (the “Offering”). All preferred stock was converted to common stock on the effective date of Extensity’s IPO. Each share of outstanding preferred stock was converted into common stock at the option of the stockholder on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. Holders of preferred stock received one vote for each share of common stock into which such shares were converted.

     Preferred Stock Warrants Issued in Connection with Financings

      On January 29, 1997, Extensity entered into a loan and security agreement with a bank. During fiscal 1997, $250,000 was drawn on the loan and was repaid in the same year. This loan expired on June 15, 1997. In conjunction with this loan agreement, Extensity issued to the lender a warrant to purchase 23,585

shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price per share of $1.59. Extensity recorded the loan at a discount of $24,000 which was allocated to the warrant and amortized as interest expense during 1997. The fair value of the warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with expected volatility of 60%, risk-free interest of 5.50% and expected life of 5 years. On the effective date of Extensity’s IPO all outstanding preferred stock was converted to common stock. These warrants were exercised in 2000 in exchange for common stock. There were no outstanding warrants in connection with this transaction as of December 31, 2001.

      During 1998, Extensity entered into financing agreements with a financial institution (see Note 6). In conjunction with these transactions, Extensity issued to the financial institution warrants to purchase shares of Series D preferred stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. On the effective date of Extensity’s IPO all outstanding preferred stock was converted to common stock. These warrants were exercised in 2000 in exchange for common stock. There were no outstanding warrants in connection with this transaction as of December 31, 2001.

8.     Common and Preferred Stock

      During 2000, Extensity’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to Extensity’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock to 75,000,000 and authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

      During the year ended December 31, 1999, Extensity loaned to three officers an aggregate of $230,000 to exercise options to purchase 933,439 shares of Extensity’s common stock. The officers paid $193,750 in cash in conjunction with these exercises. A promissory note of $100,000 from one of the officers, bearing interest at 4.77% and due on February 28, 2004, was repaid in full, including interest of $3,000, in November of 1999. The notes of the other two officers bear interest at 5.87%, are due on July 16, 2004 and are collateralized by their personal assets.

      During the year ended December 31, 2000, Extensity loaned $250,000 to an officer to exercise options to purchase 90,000 shares of Extensity’s stock. The officer paid $560,000 in cash in conjunction with this exercise. The promissory note is due January 17, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of 6.12% per annum and is collateralized by the officer’s personal assets.

     Common Stock Warrants

      In October of 2000, Extensity granted warrants to a service provider to purchase 20,000 shares of Extensity’s common stock at an exercise price of $14.50 per share. These warrants vest ratably over a two-year period and expire in October 2007. Extensity is accounting for these warrants under the variable accounting provisions of FIN 44. The charge for fiscal 2001 and 2000 amounted to $66,000 and $10,500, respectively, using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following variables: expected volatility of 90%, risk free interest of 6% and expected life of 7 years. The warrants were not exercised as of December 31, 2001.

9.     Stock Options

 
1996 Stock Option Plan

      In 1996, Extensity adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan) under which eligible employees, directors, and consultants can receive options to purchase shares of Extensity’s common stock at a price generally not less than 100% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant for incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options. The 1996 Plan, as amended through September 30,

2002, allows for the issuance of a maximum of 9,956,750 shares of Extensity’s common stock and an annual replenishment of the shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder equal to the lesser of (a) 1,300,000 shares, (b) 4% of the outstanding shares on such date or (c) a lesser amount to be determined by the Board. The options granted under the 1996 Plan vest according to varying schedules determined by the 1996 Plan Administrator, currently the Board of Directors. Options generally vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

     2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan

      In August 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option plan (the 2000 Plan) under which eligible employees can receive options to purchase shares of Extensity’s common stock at a price generally not less than 100% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant for nonstatutory options. The 2000 Plan as amended through September 30, 2002, allows for a maximum of 4,391,133 shares of Extensity’s common stock and an annual replenishment of the shares of common stock authorized for issuance on the first day of Extensity’s fiscal year (the “calculation date”) beginning on January 1, 2002, equal to 4% of the outstanding shares on the calculation date. The Board may act, prior to the first day of any fiscal year of Extensity, to increase the share reserve by such number of shares as the Board shall determine, which number shall be less than 4% of the outstanding shares on the calculation date. The options granted under the 2000 Plan vest according to varying schedules determined by the 2000 Plan Administrator. Options generally vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The 2000 plan explicitly excludes officers and directors, however, Extensity may grant options to an officer in connection with such officer’s initial employment.

      The Plans allow certain option holders to exercise their options prior to vesting. However, such exercises are subject to repurchase by Extensity if not vested. Extensity’s repurchase right lapses over a four year period. As of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002, 146,873 and 24,333, respectively, shares of common stock acquired by option holders are subject to repurchase by Extensity.

      Extensity accounts for employee and board of director stock options in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25 and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

      Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the amount by which the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock options at the measurement date, which in the case of employee stock options is typically the date of grant. For financial reporting purposes, Extensity has determined that the deemed fair market value on the date of grant of certain employee stock options issued prior to the IPO was in excess of the exercise price of the options. This amount is recorded

as deferred compensation and is classified as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and is amortized as a charge to operations over the vesting period of the applicable options. The vesting period is generally four years. The fair value per share used to calculate deferred compensation was derived by reference to the preferred stock values and Extensity’s initial public offering price range. Consequently, Extensity recorded deferred stock compensation of $1,881,000 and $10,205,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Amortization recognized for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaled $509,000, $3,977,000 and $4,352,000, respectively. Amortization recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 totaled $64,000 and $348,000, respectively.

      The weighted average fair values of the options granted for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $4.10, $15.83 and $1.80, respectively.

      Had compensation cost for option grants to employees been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, Extensity’s net loss would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

                         
Year Ended December 31,

2001 2000 1999



Net loss:
                       
As reported
  $ (25,953 )   $ (34,509 )   $ (24,889 )
Pro forma net loss
  $ (27,765 )   $ (38,042 )   $ (24,762 )
Pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted
  $ (1.16 )   $ (1.79 )   $ (11.14 )

      The above pro forma disclosures are not necessarily representative of the effects on reported income or loss for future years as additional grants are made each year and options vest over several years.

      The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the minimum value options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions by period:

                         
Year Ended
December 31,

2001 2000 1999



Risk-free interest rate
    3.7 %     6.2 %     5.6 %
Expected volatility
    108 %     189 %      
Expected life (in years)
    1.7       1.5       4  
Dividends
                 

      Because Extensity was not publicly traded until January 27, 2000, the date of the IPO, volatility was not considered in the determining the value of options granted to employees in 1999.

     Stock Option Exchange

      Pursuant to a Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on May 4, 2001, employees surrendered for cancellation 1,744,400 options to purchase shares of Extensity’s common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.44 to $38.81. In exchange, Extensity on June 6, 2001 granted short-term options to purchase 174,440 shares of Extensity’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.82 covering ten percent (10%) of the number of shares that were cancelled.

      The grant of short-term options was accounted for as prescribed under the provisions of FIN No. 44. Extensity did not incur any compensation expense associated with such options.

(United States dollars)
(All interim information relating to the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 is unaudited)

      On December 12, 2001, Extensity granted new options equal to ninety percent (90%) of the number of shares that were cancelled on June 5, 2001. The number of new options actually granted on December 12, 2001, totaling 1,366,560 shares is less than the amount cancelled on June 5, 2001 as a result of employee terminations related to Extensity’s restructuring plan implemented in July 2001. The exercise price of the new options was $2.28, the closing price of Extensity’s common stock on the date of grant. The new options have the same vesting schedule as the cancelled options and will expire if not exercised ten years from the grant date or earlier if employment is terminated.

      The short-term options vested on December 6, 2001 and expired unexercised on March 6, 2002.

10.     Employee Savings and Investment Plans

 
401(k) Plan

      In January 1998, Extensity adopted a 401(k) plan for employees. All employees who meet certain service requirements are eligible to participate. Matching contributions are at the discretion of Extensity. Extensity made no matching or discretionary contributions from inception through September 30, 2002.

 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan

      Extensity’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by the board of directors and stockholders of Extensity in November 1999 and became effective upon the closing of the IPO in January of 2000. A total of 1,235,241 shares have been reserved for issuance under the purchase plan. The purchase plan provides for automatic annual increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 1.5% of the outstanding shares on such date, (2) 500,000 shares or (3) such lesser amount as may be determined by the board. Under the purchase plan, eligible employees may purchase common stock in an amount not to exceed 15% of the employee’s cash compensation. The purchase price will be 85% of the common stock fair value at the lower of certain plan-defined dates. As of September 30, 2002, there have been 649,969 shares issued and 585,272 shares reserved for future issuance.

 
11. Acquisition

      In September 2000, Extensity acquired all the outstanding shares of a company. The total acquisition cost was approximately $343,000 primarily comprised of $265,000 in cash, 2,500 shares of Extensity’s stock valued at $53,000 and approximately $25,000 in transaction costs. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Substantially the entire purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development as technological feasibility of the acquired product had not been established and no future alternative use existed at the time of purchase. Furthermore, the acquired company had no revenues, no other tangible or intangible assets and only one employee.

 
12. Restructuring, Impairment Loss and Other

      In response to the continuing economic slowdown, Extensity implemented a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 and recorded a restructuring charge of $4.5 million. The goal of the restructuring plan was to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies in order to match the current business environment. The restructuring charge consisted of severance and benefits of $729,000 related to the involuntary termination of 70 employees, which was fully paid as of December 31, 2001. These terminations were from all functions across Extensity. In addition, Extensity accrued for lease costs of $2.2 million pertaining to the estimated obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for excess facilities

in the United States and Europe. Extensity also wrote off computer equipment and software with a net book value of $1.6 million as these assets were taken out of service because they were deemed unnecessary due to the reductions of workforce.

      In April 2002, Extensity took additional steps to reduce expenses, which included reducing full-time equivalent employees from all functions across Extensity by approximately 18% and evaluating the adequacy of its sublease loss accrual for its lease commitments for office space. Extensity incurred a restructuring charge of approximately $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The charge consisted of severance and benefits of $523,000 related to the involuntary termination of 39 employees, which was fully paid as of June 30, 2002. In addition, Extensity accrued for lease costs of $946,000 pertaining to the estimated obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for excess facilities in the United States.

      The following table sets forth an analysis of the components of the restructuring charge and the payments made against the accrual through September 30, 2002 (in thousands):

  $     $     $ 1,849  
     
     
     
 

      Extensity expects to pay the remaining obligations relating to the non-cancelable lease obligations over the remaining lease terms through 2006.

      In the third quarter of 2001, Extensity incurred an impairment loss of $1.3 million. This charge was attributed to the impairment of assets acquired in conjunction with building the hosted offering. These assets were written down to a level commensurate with the expected future cash flows as prescribed by SFAS No. 121.

      During the first quarter of 2001, Extensity incurred $377,000 in connection with exploring potential merger and acquisition transactions.

14. Proposed Merger

      On August 26, 2002, Extensity entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Geac Computer Corporation Limited (“Geac”) and Cage Acquisition, Inc., a subsidiary of Geac (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Extensity (the “Merger”), and at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Extensity common stock will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder, cash in the amount of $1.75 or approximately 0.627 of a Geac common share (the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, certain outstanding options to purchase shares of Extensity common stock will terminate immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and other outstanding options to purchase Extensity common stock will be assumed by Geac, based on the Exchange Ratio. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Extensity stockholders.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Canadian dollars; amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

1.     Description of proposed merger

      On August 26, 2002, Geac announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire by way of a merger all of the outstanding common shares of Extensity, Inc. for a total estimated purchase price of approximately $83,396, including transaction costs, if the transaction is financed exclusively by a share issue, and $81,724, including transaction costs, if the transaction is financed with cash. The definitive agreement contains terms which adjust the purchase price for changes in the working capital of Extensity as of the closing date.

      Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Extensity shareholders may elect to receive US$1.75 in cash or 0.627 of a Geac common share for each share of Extensity common stock, subject to adjustment based on the amount of Extensity’s working capital at closing. We have presented this pro forma condensed combined financial information on alternative bases: first, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive Geac common shares in the merger, and second, on the basis that all Extensity stockholders elect to receive cash in the merger. In each case, we have assumed that no working capital adjustment is made.

      The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” whereby the total cost of the acquisition, included related fees and expenses, is allocated to tangible and intangibles assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the effective date of the acquisition. Identified intangible assets with finite lives will be amortized over those lives. Goodwill will not be amortized.

2.     Basis of presentation

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of October 31, 2002 gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on October 31, 2002. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information is based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Geac as of October 31, 2002 and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Extensity as of September 30, 2002, both of which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the year ended April 30, 2002 and the six months ended October 31, 2002 reflect the merger as if it had occurred on May 1, 2001. The unaudited combined condensed statement of operations information for the year ended April 30, 2002 is based on the audited consolidated statement of operations of Geac for the year ended April 30, 2002 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus and the results of operations of Extensity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 (which are derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of Extensity for the year ended December 31, 2001, less the unaudited results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001, plus the unaudited results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002).

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the six months ended October 31, 2002 is based on the unaudited consolidated interim statement of operations of Geac for the six months ended October 31, 2002 which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus and the unaudited consolidated statement of operations information of Extensity for the six months ended September 30, 2002, which is derived from the sum of the unaudited consolidated statements of operations of Extensity for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION — (Continued)

(Canadian dollars; amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations of future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Geac and Extensity been a single entity during the periods presented.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on estimates and assumptions that Geac believes are reasonable and should be read in conjunction with the respective financial statements and related notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of both Geac and Extensity included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus and other public filings. These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

      The acquisition has not closed and, therefore, the amounts allocated could change by the closing date, based on the assets and liabilities held by Extensity at that time. Furthermore, a valuation has not been completed to determine the fair value of the net assets acquired. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation could change significantly as additional information is obtained about restructuring and integration plans, and asset and liability valuations, particularly relating to intangibles, are finalized. In addition, the purchase agreement contains terms that may adjust the purchase price based on the working capital of Extensity at the closing date. Adjustments relating to restructuring and integration plans are expected to be finalized in January 2003 when the plans are expected to receive final approval.

3.     Unaudited pro forma adjustments

 
a) Unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet

      Adjustments to the balance sheet are as follows:

  i)  Adjustments to record the acquisition of Extensity by Geac

The purchase price is allocated based upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual allocation will be based on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as of the acquisition date.

      Based on the best estimates in accordance with currently available information, pro forma and fair value adjustments have been made on the following items:

           
$

Net historical book value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed
    52,357  
Adjustment of historical carrying amount to fair value:
       
 
Deferred income taxes
    8,339  
 
Property, plant and equipment

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

      The estimated purchase consideration of $81,724 assuming an all cash election differs from the estimated purchase consideration of $83,396 under an all share election because of the difference between the US$1.75 (CDN$2.77) in cash per share that would be paid to Extensity stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement and the value of CDN$4.55 used to measure the common shares of Geac in accordance with the requirements of EITF 99-12, Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination. The Company’s common shares were valued based on the market price of the shares over a reasonable period of time before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.

      The purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the estimated fair values of such assets and liabilities with the remainder allocated to goodwill, as follows:

The fair value of Geac common shares issued were valued using the market price of the Geac shares over a reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the proposed merger were agreed and announced.

      A valuation of the intangible assets and deferred revenue is being conducted by an independent third party and is expected to be completed prior to closing.

      Management is in the process of assessing and formulating its integration plans, which are expected to include staff restructuring and elimination of acquired facilities. The finalization of these plans could result in a material increase to the estimated accrual for elimination of acquired duplicate resources, staff restructuring and other related costs. While the exact amount is not yet known, management currently estimates an accrual of $1,537 for severance, an accrual of $1,805 for premises restructuring and a write-off of other assets of $2,715.

  iii)  In conjunction with the merger, Geac will issue stock options to certain Extensity stock option holders that have an estimated fair value of $1,910. In addition, deferred stock compensation of $541 was recorded, based on the estimated fair value of the unvested stock options to be converted at the date of the merger. The adjustment also reflects the reversal of $86 of Extensity’s historical deferred compensation. See note 3(b)(ii) for further explanation.

  iv)  An adjustment in the amount of $229 was recorded to the historical balance sheet of Extensity to reflect the receipt of cash upon the issuance of 110 shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

  2)  Adjustment relating to the accrual of transaction costs, which is comprised of direct costs of the acquisition, such as legal and accounting fees. Total transaction costs are estimated to be $10,450; however, $3,471 has already been recorded by Geac, resulting in an additional accrual adjustment of $6,979.
 
  3)  $3,342 relating to restructuring accruals that meet the criteria for recognition under EITF 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination (note 3(a)(i)).

The preferred shares are non-voting, are redeemable at the option of either Geac or the holder, 60 months from the issue date and carry a cumulative dividend of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually. The preferred shares are redeemable in cash of US$2.00 per share, if redeemed at the option of the holder, or US$2.02 per share, if redeemed at the option of Geac, plus, in either event, all accrued and unpaid dividends.
 
  viii) Adjustment to eliminate $3,471 of deferred transaction costs as these costs are recorded as part of the cost of acquisition. See note 3(vi)(2).

      For purposes of clause (iv) above, an “Excluded Adjustment” shall mean a change in estimate (whether such change in estimate is effected by way of reversal or omission of an accrual or other item, or in any other manner), which is made in respect of any period beginning after December 31, 2002 and which relates to assets or liabilities that were taken into account in determining the Interim Extensity WC or that are otherwise reflected on Extensity’s balance sheet at December 31, 2002; provided, however, that changes in estimate that are made in response to transactions or payments actually made or entered into by Extensity, to actions of third parties or to events or changes of circumstances external to Extensity shall not constitute Excluded Adjustments.

      “Extensity WC Decrement” means the amount, if any, by which 97 percent of the Extensity WC Standard exceeds the Extensity WC. For example, if the Closing Date were December 4, 2002 (in which case the Extensity WC Standard would have been USD31,239,000) and the Extensity WC were USD29,500,000, then the Extensity WC Decrement would have been USD801,830.

      “Extensity WC Increment” means the amount, if any, by which the Extensity WC exceeds 103 percent of the Extensity WC Standard. For example, if the Closing Date were December 4, 2002 (in which case the Extensity WC Standard would have been USD31,239,000) and the Extensity WC were USD33,000,000, then the Extensity WC Increment would have been USD823,830.

Table of Contents

      2.3.     Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the Delaware Law. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Extensity and Geac Sub shall remain or vest in Extensity as the Surviving Corporation, and all the debts, liabilities and duties of Extensity and Geac Sub shall remain or become the debts, liabilities and duties of Extensity as the Surviving Corporation.

      2.4.     Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Those rights, preferences and privileges shall be the same as the rights, preferences and privileges of the Geac Sub Preferred Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Extensity, as in effect immediately before the Effective Time including as required by the previous sentence, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time the bylaws of Extensity, as in effect immediately before the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION OF SHARES

      3.1.     Conversion. At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of any holder of Extensity Common Stock:

        (a) Each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Price. That Cash Price shall equal:

USD46,168,889 plus any Extensity WC Increment minus any Extensity WC Decrement


26,382,222

        (b) Each Stock Election Share shall be converted into a right to receive a fraction of a Geac Common Share (the “Exchange Ratio”) equal to: (i) the Cash Price divided by (ii) USD2.79. However, if there is an Extensity WC Increment and the resulting arithmetic would cause the sum of the total number of Geac Common Shares issuable in the Merger plus the total number of Geac Common Shares issuable under options to be granted by Geac under Subsection 3.2(b) to exceed 17,650,000 shares, then the Exchange Ratio shall be reduced by the amount necessary to assure that such sum equals 17,650,000 shares.
 
        (c) The Chief Financial Officer of Extensity shall deliver a certificate to Geac at the Closing certifying as to the Extensity WC as of the Merger Record Date and the Extensity Transaction Expenses. The determination of the Extensity WC reflected in such certificate shall be made in a manner consistent with that in which the Interim Extensity WC was determined by Geac and Extensity. Geac shall be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and otherwise reasonably satisfy itself regarding the contents of that certificate.
 
        (d) An election form, reasonably satisfactory to both Extensity and Geac, shall be mailed to the holders of shares of Extensity Common Stock as of the Meeting Record Date with the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus. In addition, any holder of an Extensity Option or holder of a right to purchase shares of Extensity Common Stock under the Extensity Purchase Plan, who exercises that option or right after the Meeting Record Date but before the Merger Record Date, shall be furnished an

A-9


Table of Contents

  election form with respect to the shares of Extensity Common Stock acquired in that exercise or purchase. The purpose of the election form will be to enable all holders of Extensity Common Stock to elect whether their shares should be Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares. They shall be permitted to make different elections with respect to different shares. The election form shall also address procedures for revoking or changing elections. An election shall be deemed effective only if it is properly completed, signed and timely received by the Exchange Agent, accompanied by the certificate or certificates for all the shares to which the election relates or a customary affidavit and indemnity regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or a customary guaranty of delivery for such certificates. The election (with the related items) must be received at the address specified by the Exchange Agent on or before the Merger Record Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the election form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine whether an election has been properly and timely made and to disregard what it considers immaterial defects, including in the items submitted with the election form. Any decision by the Exchange Agent regarding elections (including the related items) made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on all the Extensity stockholders. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be obligated to notify any Person regarding any defect in any election including the related items.
 
        (e) As of the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate or certificates which, immediately before the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Extensity Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, except the right (after complying with the requirements to surrender stock certificates representing those shares or furnishing an acceptable affidavit and indemnification for destroyed or lost stock certificates) to receive: (i) a certificate representing the number of whole Geac Common Shares, if any, into which those shares of Extensity Common Stock were converted in the Merger and (ii) a check in the amount of the cash, if any, but without interest, into which those shares of Extensity Common Stock were converted in the Merger.
 
        (f) At the Effective Time: (i) the sole share of Geac Sub Common Stock held by Geac immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of Extensity Common Stock and (ii) each share of Geac Sub Preferred Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of Extensity Preferred Stock. In addition, promptly after the relevant figures are known following the Effective Time: (iii) in consideration for Geac’s issuing Geac Common Shares under this Article III and in consideration for Geac’s payment of any cash under Section 3.6, Extensity shall issue to Geac a number of shares of Extensity Common Stock determined, pursuant to clause (vi) below, by reference to the sum of the fair market value, at the Effective Time, of the Geac Common Shares issued in the Merger upon the conversion of the Stock Election Shares and the amount of that cash; and (iv) in consideration for GCI’s payment of any cash under Section 3.6, Extensity shall issue to GCI a number of shares of Extensity Common Stock determined, pursuant to clause (vii) below, by reference to the amount of that cash. Geac and GCI hereby subscribe for those shares of Extensity Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph: (v) the total number of shares of Extensity Common Stock to be issued under clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall equal ten million; (vi) the number of such shares issued to Geac shall equal the product obtained by multiplying ten million by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the fair market value of the Geac Common Shares issued in the Merger upon conversion of Stock Election Shares plus (B) the amount of any cash paid by Geac under Section 3.6, and the denominator of which is the sum of (C) that numerator plus (D) the amount of any cash paid by GCI under Section 3.6; and (vii) the number of such shares issued to GCI shall equal ten million minus the number of such shares issued to Geac. The fair market value of the Geac Common Shares, for purposes of this Subsection 3.1(f), shall be determined as provided in the last sentence of Subsection 3.1(g).
 
        (g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no fraction of a Geac Common Share will be issued in the Merger. Instead, each holder of shares of Extensity Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Geac Common Share (after aggregating all the fractional Geac Common Shares to which that holder would otherwise be entitled) shall receive an

A-10


Table of Contents

  amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of that fraction multiplied by the amount, expressed in U.S. dollars, equal to the closing price per Geac Common Share, as quoted on the TSX on the last trading day preceding the Closing Date, converted from Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate for that day as quoted in The Wall Street Journal published after that day.

      3.2.     Extensity Options

      (a) Section 4.6 and related Schedule 4.6 of the Extensity Disclosure Statement set forth information regarding the options, granted by Extensity and outstanding as of August 26, 2002, to purchase shares of Extensity Common Stock (the “Extensity Options”). The Extensity Options shall be treated as provided in Subsections 3.2(b) and (c).

      (b) At the Effective Time, subject to the next sentence, each Lower-Price Extensity Option, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Geac, subject to the rules of the TSX, in such a manner that it shall vest (without acceleration due to the Merger) and otherwise be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the Extensity Stock Plan and the option agreement under which it was granted. However, after the Merger: (a) rather than be exercisable for shares of Extensity Common Stock, each Lower-Price Extensity Option shall be exercisable for a number of Geac Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Extensity Common Stock subject to the Lower-Price Extensity Option and (b) the option price per Geac Common Share shall equal the option price per share of Extensity Common Stock subject to the Lower-Price Extensity Option in effect immediately before the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio.

      (c) No later than 10 days after Extensity mails the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus to its stockholders, Extensity shall deliver a notice that is reasonably satisfactory to Geac to each holder of each Higher-Price Extensity Option. As is permitted by Extensity’s 1996 Stock Option Plan and amended 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (together the “Extensity Stock Plans”), that notice shall explain that, effective at the Effective Time, if the Merger closes, subject to the other provisions of the Extensity Stock Plans including those that address the impact of terminations of employment on stock options: (i) each Higher-Price Extensity Option shall become fully vested and, if and to the extent it is unexercised before the Merger Record Date, shall terminate just before the Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of the Extensity Stock Plan governing each Higher-Price Extensity Option, each such notice shall permit the holder of the Higher-Price Extensity Option to exercise that option contingent on the Closing.

      3.3.     Extensity Purchase Plan. As permitted by, and in accordance with, the Extensity Purchase Plan, Extensity shall set and notice a new exercise date, under that plan, that precedes the Merger Record Date. Each participant in the Extensity Purchase Plan will thus be given an opportunity to withdraw from that plan and be paid that participant’s accumulated withholdings under the plan, without interest (in accordance with the plan), or, failing withdrawal, have those accumulations applied to the purchase of shares of Extensity Common Stock under the plan at a purchase price determined with reference to the beginning of the plan purchase period during which the Merger Record Date occurs and the accelerated exercise date for that purchase in accordance with the plan.

      3.4.     Distributions. If Geac declares a stock dividend, stock split or other similar change or adjustment in the Geac Common Shares and the record date for that change or adjustment precedes the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect that change or adjustment. No dividend or other distribution declared with respect to Geac Common Shares having a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to a holder of an unsurrendered Extensity stock certificate until such holder surrenders the Extensity stock certificate (or provides a satisfactory affidavit and indemnity if the certificate was destroyed or lost). After the surrender of the Extensity stock certificate or other documentation, Geac shall pay that holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions, without interest, declared with a record date after the Merger Record Date. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be liable to any holder of shares of Extensity Common Stock for Geac Common Shares or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Table of Contents

      3.5.     Appraisal Rights. Shares of Extensity Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time whose holder properly demands an appraisal for those shares under the Delaware Law or (to the extent applicable) Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive Geac Common Shares or cash in accordance with Section 3.1, unless and until that holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses that right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, each such share of Extensity Common Stock shall be treated as if it had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive, without any interest, cash or Geac Common Shares, in the sole discretion of Geac but otherwise in accordance with one of Subsections 3.1(a) and (b), plus cash in lieu of any aggregated fractional share in accordance with Subsection 3.1(g), together with any dividends or other distributions to which that holder may be entitled under Section 3.4. Extensity shall give Geac prompt notice of any demands received by Extensity for appraisal of any shares of Extensity Common Stock, and Geac shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Extensity shall not, without the prior written consent of Geac, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any amounts paid to a holder pursuant to a right of appraisal shall be paid by Extensity.

      3.6.     Cash. Geac and GCI shall pay or cause to be paid the cash payable under Subsection 3.1(a) upon the conversion of Cash Election Shares and under Subsection 3.1(g) upon the conversion of Stock Election Shares. The required cash shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent for disbursement by the Exchange Agent to the holders of Extensity Common Stock entitled thereto in accordance with their respective elections.

      3.7.     Tax Consequences. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Parties intend that the Merger be a taxable “qualified stock purchase” as defined in Section 338 of the Code.

      3.8.     Withholding. The Party or Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise paid by it or them to the Exchange Agent for the account of holders of shares of Extensity Common Stock, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code and any other applicable Tax Laws. If any withholding obligation may be avoided by the holder providing information to that Party or those Parties, then that Party or those Parties shall request that information before withholding. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid to an appropriate taxing authority, that Party or those Parties shall be treated as though it or they had withheld, from the type of consideration from which withholding was required, an appropriate amount otherwise payable under this Agreement. If withholding is required from Geac Common Shares, Geac shall be treated as having sold those shares on behalf of their holder for an amount, in cash, equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of the deemed sale and paid the cash proceeds to the taxing authority.

An example would be an agreement that enables Extensity or an Extensity Sub to resell, bundle or embed another Person’s software, in software that Extensity or an Extensity Sub licenses or otherwise makes available to customers, under which the Merger would be considered an assignment by, or change of control of, Extensity or an Extensity Sub requiring that Person’s consent.

      (c) None of the manufacture, marketing, licensing, sale or intended use of any Software or other product sold or licensed to customers, or under development, by Extensity or any Extensity Sub: (i) violates any license or agreement between Extensity or an Extensity Sub and any Person or (ii) to the knowledge of Extensity and the Extensity Subs, infringes any patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of any other Person. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of Extensity and the Extensity Subs, overtly threatened claim or litigation contesting the validity, ownership or right to use, sell, license or dispose of any Extensity IP Rights or asserting that any Extensity IP Rights or the proposed use, sale, license or disposition thereof, or the manufacture, use, sale or licensing of any Extensity products, conflicts or will conflict with the rights of any Person.

      (d) Schedule 4.17(d) includes a worldwide list of all patents, copyrights, trade names, trademarks, service marks and service names, and applications and registrations for any of the foregoing, owned or possessed by Extensity or an Extensity Sub. Schedule 4.17(d) also includes a list of Software libraries, Software systems, compilers and other third-party Software necessary for the development of the Software that Extensity or any Extensity Sub licenses or otherwise makes available to customers.

      (e) All the Software that Extensity and the Extensity Subs license or otherwise make available to customers was: (i) developed by employees of Extensity within the scope of their employment; (ii) developed by independent contractors or consultants who assigned all of their right, title and interest in and to that Software to Extensity or (iii) otherwise acquired by Extensity, for exclusive use by Extensity, from a third party by contract.

For example, the source code and system documentation relating to the Software: (i) have at all times been maintained in strict confidence and (ii) have been disclosed by Extensity and the Extensity Subs only to employees, contractors and consultants on a need-to-know basis. Extensity has furnished Geac with a true and complete copy of its standard employee confidentiality agreement and taken commercially reasonable steps to ensure that all key employees (including all employees involved in Software development) of Extensity and the Extensity Subs have executed such an agreement.

      (g) Neither Extensity nor any Extensity Sub is aware that any of its employees or consultants is obligated under any contract, covenant or other agreement or commitment of any nature, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such employee’s or consultant’s efforts to promote the interests of Extensity or any Extensity Sub or that would conflict with the business of Extensity or any Extensity Sub as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted by them. Neither Extensity nor any Extensity Sub has entered into any agreement to indemnify any other Person including, but not limited to, any employee or consultant of Extensity or any Extensity Sub, against any charge of infringement, misappropriation or misuse of any intellectual property. All current and former employees and consultants of Extensity or any Extensity Sub who work or did work on developing any products (including products not yet commercialized) have signed valid and enforceable written assignments to Extensity or an Extensity Sub of any and all rights and claims in any and all intellectual property that such employee or consultant has or may have by reason of any contribution, participation or other role in the development, conception, creation, reduction to practice or authorship of any invention, innovation, Software, development or work of authorship or any other intellectual property

      6.2.     No Solicitation

      (a) From and after August 26, 2002 until the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Extensity shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Extensity Sub or any officer, director, affiliate or employee of Extensity or any Extensity Sub, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by any of them to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, negotiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or announcement of any Extensity Acquisition Proposal or take any action or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Extensity Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions with any Person with respect to any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, except as to the existence of these provisions, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Extensity Acquisition Proposal or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Extensity Acquisition Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 6.2(a) or in any other provision of this Agreement, Extensity and its board of directors may participate in discussions or negotiations with or furnish information to any Person that, after August 26, 2002, makes an unsolicited Extensity Acquisition Proposal (an “Extensity Potential Acquiror”) or approve an unsolicited Extensity Acquisition Proposal if Extensity’s board of directors is advised by its financial advisor that the Extensity Potential Acquiror submitting the Extensity Acquisition Proposal (if that proposal includes a cash component) presently has the financial resources to complete that Extensity Acquisition Proposal and the board determines in good faith (A) after receiving advice from its financial advisor, that such Extensity Acquisition Proposal is an Extensity Superior Offer (as defined in Subsection 6.4(c)) and (B) following receipt of advice from outside legal counsel that the failure to participate in such discussions or negotiations or to furnish such information or approve the Extensity Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be expected to violate the board’s fiduciary duties under the Delaware Law even in the absence of this sentence. Extensity agrees that any non-public information furnished to an Extensity Potential Acquiror will be pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing provisions at least as favorable to Extensity as the confidentiality and use provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement between Geac and Extensity dated as of May 1, 2002 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). If Extensity determines to provide any information as described above, or receives an Extensity Acquisition Proposal, it shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, inform Geac in writing as to that fact and shall furnish to Geac the identity of the recipient of such information to be provided or the Extensity Potential Acquiror, whichever is appropriate, and the terms of any Extensity Acquisition Proposal.

      (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Extensity Acquisition Proposal” means any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal by Geac) relating to any Extensity Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Extensity Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of transactions involving: (i) any purchase from Extensity or acquisition by any Person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of more than 15% of the total outstanding voting securities of Extensity or any tender offer or exchange offer that, if closed, would result in any Person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning 15% or more of the total outstanding voting securities of Extensity, (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving Extensity, (iii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license (other than in the ordinary course of business), acquisition or disposition of more than 15% of the assets of Extensity, (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of Extensity or (v) any transaction or event identified in (i) through (iv) of this sentence but with respect to any Extensity Sub.

      (c) In addition to the obligations of Extensity set forth in Subsection 6.2(a), as promptly as practicable Extensity shall advise Geac orally and in writing of any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Extensity Acquisition Proposal, and the identity of the Person or group making the Extensity Acquisition Proposal. Extensity shall keep Geac informed as promptly as practicable

A-30


Table of Contents

in all material respects of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such Extensity Acquisition Proposal. In addition, as promptly as is practical, Extensity shall advise Geac, both orally and in writing, of any request for non-public information that Extensity reasonably believes could lead to an Extensity Acquisition Proposal or an Extensity Acquisition Transaction.

      6.3.     Access to Information. From August 26, 2002 until the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Extensity shall afford Geac and its authorized representatives (including counsel, consultants, accountants and auditors) reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to all of its and the Extensity Subs’ facilities, personnel and operations and to all of its and the Extensity Subs’ books and records, shall permit Geac and its authorized representatives to conduct inspections as they may reasonably request and shall instruct its officers and those of the Extensity Subs to furnish such persons with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to their business and properties as Geac and its representatives from time to time may reasonably request, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.

      6.4.     Stockholder Meeting and Board Recommendation

      (a) Extensity shall take all action necessary, in accordance with the Delaware Law and its Certificate Incorporation and bylaws, to convene a special meeting of Extensity’s stockholders to consider adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Stockholder Meeting”) to be held as promptly as practicable after the declaration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Subject to Section 6.4(c), Extensity shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market and the Delaware Law to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Extensity may adjourn or postpone the Stockholder Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus is provided to Extensity’s stockholders in advance of the vote on the Merger and this Agreement or if, as of the time originally scheduled for the Stockholder Meeting as set forth in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, there are insufficient shares of Extensity Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Stockholder Meeting or, even though sufficient shares to constitute a quorum are represented, there are insufficient shares whose holders have indicated through proxies or otherwise an intention to vote to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger. Extensity shall ensure that the Stockholder Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by Extensity in connection with the Stockholder Meeting are solicited, in compliance with the Delaware Law, Extensity’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market and all other applicable Laws. Extensity’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholder Meeting in accordance with this Subsection 6.4(a) shall not be limited to or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to Extensity of any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal, amendment or modification of the recommendation of the board of directors of Extensity with respect to this Agreement or the Merger.

      (b) Subject to Subsection 6.4(c): (i) the board of directors of Extensity shall unanimously recommend that Extensity’s stockholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger at the Stockholder Meeting, (ii) the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus shall include a statement to the effect that the board of directors of Extensity has unanimously recommended that Extensity’s stockholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger at the Stockholder Meeting and (iii) neither the board of directors of Extensity nor any committee of the board shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Geac or to the prospects for completing the Merger, the recommendation of the board that Extensity’s stockholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger.

      (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the board of directors of Extensity from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation in favor of this Agreement and the Merger if:

A-31


Table of Contents

(i) an Extensity Superior Offer is made to Extensity and is not withdrawn, (ii) Extensity shall have provided written notice to Geac advising Geac that Extensity has received an Extensity Superior Offer, specifying the terms and conditions of the Extensity Superior Offer and identifying the Person making the Extensity Superior Offer, (iii) Geac shall have been given an opportunity, for 72 hours after its receipt of that notice, to propose to modify the terms of the Merger or otherwise modify this Agreement, it being understood that neither Extensity nor any representative of Extensity shall accept the Extensity Superior Offer or make any proposal on behalf of Extensity to the Person or group that made the Extensity Superior Offer during that 72-hour period, (iv) the board of directors of Extensity is advised by Extensity’s outside counsel that, in light of the Extensity Superior Offer, the withholding, withdrawal, amendment or modification of such recommendation is required in order for the board of directors of Extensity to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Extensity’s stockholders under the Delaware Law and (v) Extensity shall not have violated any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.2 or this Subsection 6.4(c). Extensity shall provide Geac with at least three Business Days prior notice of any meeting of Extensity’s board of directors at which Extensity’s board of directors is expected to consider any Extensity Acquisition Transaction. Nothing contained in this Subsection 6.4(c) shall limit Extensity’s obligation to hold and convene the Stockholder Meeting (regardless of whether the recommendation of the board of directors of Extensity shall have been withdrawn, amended or modified). For purposes of this Agreement, “Extensity Superior Offer” means an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made by a third party to complete any of the following transactions: (i) a merger or consolidation involving Extensity pursuant to which the stockholders of Extensity immediately preceding the transaction hold less than a majority of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction or (ii) the acquisition by any Person or group (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or a two-step transaction involving a tender offer followed with reasonable promptness by a cash-out merger), directly or indirectly, of ownership of 100 percent of the then-outstanding shares of Extensity Common Stock on terms (including, without limitation, the conditions to the prospective acquirer’s obligation to close) that the board of directors of Extensity determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment (based on the advice of its financial advisor) to be materially more favorable to the Extensity stockholders than the Merger. However, an offer shall not be an “Extensity Superior Offer” if any financing required to complete the transaction contemplated by the offer is not fully committed.

      (d)     Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Extensity or its board of directors from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act.

      (e) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Extensity and Geac shall mutually prepare, and Extensity shall file confidentially with the SEC, a preliminary form of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus. As promptly as practicable after receipt of SEC comments on the preliminary Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, Geac and Extensity shall mutually prepare a response to the comments. Upon resolution of all comments, Geac shall file the Registration Statement with the SEC. Geac and Extensity shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to have the preliminary Proxy Statement/ Prospectus cleared by the SEC and the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable. Geac shall also take any action required to be taken under applicable United States blue sky or securities laws in connection with the Geac Common Shares to be issued in exchange for the shares of Extensity Common Stock. Geac and Extensity shall promptly furnish to each other all information, and take all other actions (including, without limitation, using all commercially reasonable efforts to provide any required consents of their independent auditor), as may reasonably be requested with respect to any action by any of them in connection with the preceding sentences of this Subsection 6.4(e). Whenever any Party learns of the occurrence of any event which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, the Registration Statement or any other filing made pursuant to this Subsection 6.4(e), Geac or Extensity, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other of that occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff and, if appropriate, mailing of such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of Extensity.

      (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Geac, GCI, Geac Sub and Extensity shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or appropriate under this Agreement and applicable Laws to complete the Merger and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, without limitation: (i) satisfying the conditions to closing set forth in those sections over which they have control or influence, (ii) complying with HSR (if that is required) and responding as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from the United States Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, including any requests for additional information or documents, (iii) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make all necessary governmental and private party consents, approvals, filings and waivers and (iv) using commercially reasonable efforts to remove any legal bar to the Merger.

Nor shall anything in this Agreement require any Party to waive any condition to its obligation to complete the Merger.

      6.6.     Public Announcements. Before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the Merger, Geac, GCI, Geac Sub and Extensity shall consult with each other as to its form and substance, and agree not to issue any such press release or general communication to employees or make any public statement before obtaining the consent of the other (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or by the rules and regulations of or listing agreement with the NASDAQ Stock Market or the TSX.

      6.7.     Notification of Certain Matters. Extensity shall promptly notify Geac, and Geac shall promptly notify Extensity, of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any condition to the obligation of the notifying Party to complete the Merger not to be fulfilled. Extensity shall give prompt notice to Geac, and Geac shall give prompt notice to Extensity, of any communication from any Person alleging that the consent of that Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby, or to enable Geac or any Geac Subsidiary (including, after the Merger, the Extensity Subs) to conduct or continue the business of Extensity and the Extensity Subs after the Merger.

      6.8.     TSX Listing. Before the Effective Time, Geac shall file with the TSX an application for listing the Geac Common Shares issuable in the Merger and the Geac Common Shares that Geac would be required to issue if all the Lower-Price Extensity Options were exercised.

      6.9.     Resignation of Directors and Officers. Before the Effective Time, Extensity shall deliver to Geac, at no cost, the resignations of such directors and officers of Extensity and each Extensity Sub as Geac shall specify at least five Business Days before the Closing. The resignations shall be effective at the Effective Time.

      6.10.     SEC Filings. Extensity shall promptly deliver to Geac true and complete copies of each report and other document mailed by it to its security holders or filed by it with the SEC, in each case after August 26, 2002 and before the Effective Time. As of their respective dates, no such item, including the consolidated financial statements included therein (but excluding any information provided by Geac, GCI or Geac Sub, as to which Extensity makes no representation) shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading. All such items

A-33


Table of Contents

shall comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Law. Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes) contained in such items: (i) shall comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC, (ii) shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis as of the dates and throughout the periods involved and (iii) shall fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Extensity and the Extensity Subs as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements may be subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments which are not expected to be material in amount and the unaudited interim financial statements shall not require notes.

      6.11.     Employee Matters

      (a) Unless Geac directs Extensity in writing to do otherwise at least five days before the Closing Date, Extensity shall take all action necessary to terminate the 401(k) profit sharing plan maintained for the benefit of Extensity’s employees effective at the Merger Record Date and contingent on the Closing (including, without limitation, adopting board resolutions terminating the plan and giving advance written notice to the plan participants of the termination), and to distribute the assets of the plan in compliance with ERISA and consistent with maintaining the plan’s qualified status under the Code.

      (b) As soon as is administratively practical after the Closing (expected, for at least certain employee benefit plans, to be January 1, 2003), Geac shall cause the employees of Extensity to be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs of Geac Enterprise Solutions, Inc., so that each such employee is eligible for benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to a similarly situated employee of that Geac Subsidiary (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of Extensity in those plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans and may be affected, in the case of individual employees, by special circumstances such as leaves of absence that, in accordance with those plans, preclude or delay participation in those plans). To the extent permitted under those benefit plans, Geac shall cause each such benefit plan to take into account, for purposes of eligibility and vesting, the service of such employees with Extensity or the Extensity Subs to the same extent such service would have been credited for such purposes under such benefit plans if the employees had been employed by a Geac Subsidiary during the time they were employed by Extensity.

  6.12. Indemnification and Insurance

      (a) After the Merger, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall continue to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of defense expenses and exculpation that are substantially identical to those set forth in the certification of incorporation and bylaws of Extensity as of August 26, 2002. Those provisions shall not be repealed or amended for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party, it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Geac or the Surviving Corporation from effecting a merger of the Surviving Corporation into another entity, after the Effective Time, if the charter documents of the entity that survives that merger have similar provisions.

      (b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or its successor, if any, shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are, as of August 26, 2002, insureds under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by Extensity as of August 26, 2002, with coverage in amount and scope in all material respects at least is favorable to such persons as Extensity’s existing coverage, provided that the total cumulative premium paid for that continuing insurance, irrespective of which entity or entities make the premium payments, shall not exceed USD 2.5 million.

      (c) Each Indemnified Party shall comply with the reasonable requests of the Surviving Corporation and Geac in defending or settling any action brought by or against Extensity, any Indemnified Party or any affiliate or former affiliate of Extensity for any act or omission that preceded the Merger (whether before

        (h) By Extensity alone: (i) if the Merger has not been completed by the End Date, (ii) Geac would then not be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Subsection 9.1(f) had Geac sent the notice called for by that subsection at least five Business Days before the End Date and (iii) Extensity would then not be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Subsection 9.1(e);
 
        (i) By Geac alone: (i) if the Merger has not been completed by the End Date and (ii) (X) Extensity would then be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Subsection 9.1(e) had Extensity sent the notice called for by that subsection at least five Business Days before the End Date or (Y) Geac, GCI and Geac Sub are unwilling to close the Merger even though the conditions to their obligations to close the Merger have been satisfied or waived;
 
        (j) By Geac alone: (i) if the Merger has not been completed by the End Date, (ii) Extensity would then not be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Subsection 9.1(e) had Geac sent the notice called for by that subsection at least five Business Days before the End Date and (iii) Geac would not then be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Subsection 9.1(e).

Table of Contents

  Agreement and the Merger, (iii) the Extensity board fails to reaffirm its recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger within five days after Geac requests in writing that that recommendation be reaffirmed, (iv) the Extensity board or a committee of that board shall have approved or recommended any Extensity Acquisition Proposal or (v) a tender or exchange offer relating to any securities of Extensity shall have been commenced by a Person unaffiliated with Geac, and Extensity shall not have sent, to its security holders pursuant to Rule 14e-2 adopted under the Exchange Act within 10 Business Days after the tender or exchange offer is first published, sent or given, a statement disclosing that Extensity’s board of directors unanimously recommends rejection of the tender or exchange offer.

      9.2.     Notice and Effects of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party or Parties. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except as set forth in this Section 9.2, Sections 9.3 and 9.4, and Article X, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Moreover, termination shall not relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement or affect the obligations of the Parties set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.

      9.3.     Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in the next sentence and in Section 9.4, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring the expenses, whether or not the Merger is completed. However, Geac and Extensity shall share equally: (i) all fees and expenses, other than attorneys’ and accountant’s fees and expenses incurred in the printing, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus (including any preliminary materials) and the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits) and any amendments or supplements, and (ii) all filings and other fees payable to Government Entities (for example, under HSR) in connection with the authorizations, consents, orders, approvals, declarations and filings referenced in Section 7.4.

      9.4.     Liquidated Damages and Termination Fee

        (a) Subsections 9.4(b) and (c) require the payment of a specified amount, as liquidated damages or a termination fee, under the circumstances specified in those subsections. The Parties have agreed to those arrangements because: (i) they believe that the damages and other adverse consequences likely to be suffered by them under the circumstances specified in those subsections would be difficult to calculate, (ii) they believe that the remedies and consequences provided in those subsections represent a reasonable estimate, as of August 26, 2002, of the damages or other adverse consequences likely to be suffered by them under the circumstances specified, (iii) they wish to obviate the need to prove the actual amount of such damages or other adverse consequences and (iv) they desire to achieve certainty regarding remedies and consequences. Accordingly, Subsections 9.4(b) and (c) represent the sole remedies and sole consequences, monetary or otherwise, for the matters referenced in those subsections. This Section 9.4 is an integral part of this Agreement. Without this Section 9.4, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.
 
        (b) If this Agreement is terminated under Subsection 9.1(c), (d), (f) or (g), then, within ten Business Days after the date of that termination, Extensity shall pay Geac USD1.5 million, plus an amount payable in U.S. dollars equal to Geac’s, GCI’s and Geac Sub’s fees and expenses otherwise paid or payable by Geac, GCI and Geac Sub under Section 9.3, in immediately available funds. If any of those fees and expenses are payable or were paid by Geac, GCI or Geac Sub in Canadian dollars, they shall converted, for purposes of this Subsection 9.4(b), into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate for the eighth of those ten Business Days, quoted for that eighth Business Day, in The Wall Street Journal.

      (c)     If this Agreement is terminated under Subsection 9.1(e) or (i), then, within ten Business Days after the date of that termination, Geac shall pay Extensity USD1.5 million, plus an amount payable in U.S. dollars equal to Extensity’s fees and expenses otherwise paid or payable by Extensity under Section 9.3, in immediately available funds.

MISCELLANEOUS

      10.1.     Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Parties shall not survive the Closing.

      10.2.     Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written agreement of Geac, GCI, Geac Sub and Extensity at any time before to the Effective Time. However, after adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the stockholders of Extensity, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall have any of the effects set forth in Section 251(d) of the Delaware Law unless Extensity’s stockholders approve that amendment, modification or supplement.

      10.3.     Waiver and Consents. Any failure of Geac, GCI or Geac Sub, on the one hand, or Extensity, on the other hand, to comply with any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Extensity (with respect to any failure by Geac, GCI or Geac Sub) or by Geac (with respect to any failure by Extensity), respectively, only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting the waiver. However, a waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with a provision in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure to comply with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits a consent by any Party, that consent shall be given in writing in a manner and with the same effects as for a waiver, as set forth in this Section 10.3.

Rather, the accuracy of those representations and warranties are solely the responsibility of the Party giving them. Information discovered or discoverable in due diligence or otherwise known shall not diminish that responsibility because, among other reasons, the Parties have decided to avoid the costs and uncertainty associated with litigating whether certain information was discovered in fact or could or should have been discovered.

ANNEX B

OPINION OF BROADVIEW INTERNATIONAL LLC

August 23, 2002

CONFIDENTIAL

Board of Directors

Extensity, Inc.
2200 Powell Street, Suite 300
Emeryville, CA 94608

Dear Members of the Board:

      We understand that Extensity, Inc. (“Extensity” or the “Company”), Geac Computer Corporation (“Geac” or “Parent”) and Cage Acquisition Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which, through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), each outstanding share of Company Common Stock will be exchanged, at the option of the holder thereof, for (i) US$1.75 cash (subject to adjustment as described in the Agreement) or (ii) 0.6264 of a share of Parent Common Stock (subject to adjustment as described in the Agreement). The Merger is intended to qualify as a taxable “qualified stock purchase” as defined in Section 338 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The terms and conditions of the above-described Merger are more fully detailed in the Agreement.

      The aggregate amount of consideration receivable by holders of Company Common Stock in the Merger is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Consideration”. We have assumed with your permission that the Aggregate Consideration will be at least equal to $46,110,540, the aggregate amount of cash available to Company stockholders in the Merger (subject to any working capital adjustments as provided for under the Agreement).

      You have requested our opinion as to whether the Aggregate Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of Company Common Stock.

      Broadview International LLC (“Broadview”) focuses on providing merger and acquisition advisory services to information technology (“IT”), communications and media companies. In this capacity, we are continually engaged in valuing such businesses, and we maintain an extensive database of IT, communications and media mergers and acquisitions for comparative purposes. We are currently acting as financial advisor to Extensity’s Board of Directors and will receive a fee from Extensity upon the successful conclusion of the Merger.

      In rendering our opinion, we have, among other things:

        1.) reviewed the terms of the Agreement in the form of the draft furnished to us by Parent legal counsel on August 22, 2002 (which, for the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission, to be identical in all material respects to the final Agreement);
 
        2.) reviewed Extensity’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, including the audited financial statements included therein, and Extensity’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, including the unaudited financial statements included therein;
 
        3.) reviewed certain internal historical financial and operating information relating to Extensity, prepared and furnished to us by Extensity management;

B-1


Table of Contents

        4.) participated in discussions with Extensity’s management concerning the operations, business strategy, current financial performance and prospects for Extensity;
 
        5.) discussed with Extensity’s management its view of the strategic rationale for the Merger;
 
        6.) reviewed the recent reported closing prices and trading activity for Company Common Stock;
 
        7.) compared certain aspects of Extensity’s financial performance with public companies we deemed comparable;
 
        8.) reviewed recent equity research analyst reports covering Extensity, including, without limitation, the CIBC World Markets July 17, 2002 equity research report covering the Company, including the quarterly projections through December 31, 2002 and annual projections through December 31, 2003 contained in the report;
 
        9.) analyzed available information, both public and private, concerning other mergers and acquisitions we believe to be comparable in whole or in part to the Merger;
 
        10.) reviewed Geac’s annual report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, including the audited financial statements included therein;
 
        11.) reviewed certain internal financial and operating information relating to Geac, including quarterly and annual projections through April 30, 2004, prepared and furnished to us by Geac management;
 
        12.) participated in discussions with Geac management concerning the operations, business strategy, financial performance and prospects for Geac;
 
        13.) discussed with Geac management its view of the strategic rationale for the Merger;
 
        14.) reviewed the recent reported closing prices and trading activity for Parent Common Stock;
 
        15.) compared certain aspects of the financial performance of Geac with public companies we deemed comparable;
 
        16.) reviewed recent equity research analyst reports covering Geac;
 
        17.) analyzed the anticipated effect of the Merger on the future financial performance of the Parent;
 
        18.) assisted in negotiations and discussions related to the Merger among Extensity, Geac and their respective financial and legal advisors; and
 
        19.) conducted other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

      In rendering our opinion, we have relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all the financial and other information (including without limitation the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement) that was publicly available or furnished to us by Extensity, Geac or Geac’s advisors. With respect to the financial projections for Geac examined by us, we have assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Geac as to the future performance of Geac. With respect to the financial projections for the Company examined by us, we have assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best available estimates as to the future performance of the Company. We have neither made nor obtained an independent appraisal or valuation of any of Extensity’s assets.

      Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and assumptions below, we are of the opinion that the Aggregate Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of Company Common Stock.

      This opinion is rendered solely with respect to the Aggregate Consideration, and we express no opinion as to the fairness or value of any particular form or combination of consideration available in the

B-2


Table of Contents

Merger to holders of Company Common Stock. Without limiting the foregoing, our opinion does not take into account any tax or other individual considerations that may impact a stockholder’s decision as to which form (or combination) of consideration to receive in the Merger.

      For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that neither Extensity nor Geac is currently involved in any material transaction other than the Merger, other publicly announced transactions and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting their respective businesses. Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date of this opinion, and any change in such conditions would require a reevaluation of this opinion. We express no opinion as to the price at which Parent Common Stock will trade at any time.

      This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof. It is understood that this opinion is for the information of the Board of Directors of Extensity in connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Company Common Stock as to how such holder should vote on the Merger or as to the form of consideration such holder should elect to receive in the Merger. This opinion may not be published or referred to, in whole or part, without our prior written permission, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Broadview hereby consents to references to and the inclusion of this opinion in its entirety in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus to be distributed to holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

  Sincerely,
 
  Broadview International LLC

ANNEX C

FORM OF VOTING AND PROXY AGREEMENT

      THIS VOTING AND PROXY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August      , 2002 by and among GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED, a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Geac”), CAGE ACQUISITION INC., a Delaware corporation that is wholly-owned by Geac (“Geac Sub”), and  (“Stockholder”). Geac, Geac Sub and Stockholder are each sometimes referred to as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

B A C K G R O U N D

      Geac, Geac Sub and Extensity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Extensity”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as of the same date as this Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement contemplates the merger of Geac Sub into Extensity. In order for that merger to close, Extensity’s stockholders must adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and that merger. Stockholder owns shares of Extensity common stock [and is also a director/officer/both of Extensity]. Geac and Geac Sub were not prepared to enter into the Merger Agreement, unless Stockholder and certain other stockholders of Extensity signed this and similar agreements. Stockholder desires that Geac and Geac Sub enter into the Merger Agreement and for that reason is signing this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the definitions assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

      1.     Voting. As of the date of this Agreement, Stockholder is: (a) the record and beneficial owner of that number shares of Extensity Common Stock as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, and (b) the beneficial, but not the record, owner of that number of shares of Extensity Common Stock as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement. (Those shares of Extensity Common Stock that Stockholder owns of record as of the date of this Agreement and any other shares of Extensity Common Stock that Stockholder acquires record ownership of during the term of this Agreement are referred to as the “Record Shares”. Those shares of Extensity Common Stock that Stockholder beneficially owns as of the date of this Agreement and any other shares of Extensity Common Stock that Stockholder acquires beneficial, but not record, ownership of during the term of this Agreement are referred to as the “Beneficial Shares”. The Record Shares and the Beneficial Shares are collectively referred to as the “Shares”.) Before the Expiration Date (defined in Section 10.9), Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as such) shall vote, or cause the vote of, all the Shares in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, it being understood, however, that for any Shares held in a trust for which Stockholder is not the trustee (as shown on the exhibit to this Agreement), Stockholder shall be required (only) to use Stockholder’s best efforts to cause those Shares to be so voted. Stockholder (in stockholder’s capacity as such) shall also vote the Shares against any other extraordinary transaction such as another merger or a consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the voting securities of Extensity or any Extensity Sub or any other change of control involving Extensity or any Extensity Sub (with the same character of covenant regarding any Shares held in such a trust).

      2.     Irrevocable Proxy. Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Geac as Stockholder’s proxyholder through the Expiration Date, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to attend and act for and on behalf of Stockholder at the Stockholder Meeting or any other meeting of Extensity’s stockholders, and to act by written consent as a stockholder of Extensity, to vote the Shares in the following manner: (a) for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (b) against any other extraordinary transaction such as another merger or a consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the voting securities of Extensity or any Extensity Sub or any other change of control involving Extensity or any Extensity Sub. By signing this Agreement, Stockholder revokes any and all prior proxies given by

C-1


Table of Contents

Stockholder with respect to any Shares and shall promptly inform the holders of any such proxies in writing of that revocation, sending a copy to Geac. Stockholder shall not grant any other proxies with respect to any Shares before the Expiration Date. This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted in consideration of Geac and Geac Sub entering into the Merger Agreement. Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that none of Geac, Geac Sub or any of their successors, assigns, subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents or affiliates owe any duty to Stockholder or shall incur any liability of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, for any claims, losses, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees) to Stockholder in connection with or as a result of any voting (or refraining from voting) any Shares. In addition, Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to this irrevocable proxy, Geac may vote the Shares to further its own interests and that Geac is not acting as a fiduciary for Stockholder. This irrevocable proxy shall survive, and shall not be terminated by, any act of Stockholder, operation of law or any other event such as the death, incapacity, disability or bankruptcy of Stockholder or the termination of any trust or estate for which Stockholder is acting as a fiduciary. This irrevocable proxy shall be binding upon the spouse (if any), heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Stockholder.

      3.     Transfer Restrictions. Before the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Shares or limit its right to vote any Shares in any manner, (b) agree to do any of the foregoing or (c) take any action that has or could have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing any obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit a transfer of Extensity Common Stock by Stockholder: (i) if Stockholder is a natural person, to any member of his or her immediate family or upon his or her death, or (ii) if Stockholder is a partnership or limited liability company, to one or more partners or members of Stockholder or to an affiliated corporation under common control with Stockholder, provided that, in case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), Stockholder first furnishes Geac with a written undertaking by the intended transferee in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Geac that the transferee will comply with this Agreement. Promptly after this Agreement is signed, Extensity shall deliver stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent respecting all the Shares that, before the Expiration Date, cannot be countermanded without both Extensity’s and Geac’s consent.

      4.     No Solicitation. Neither Stockholder nor any agent, representative or associate of Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, initiate, negotiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or announcement of any Extensity Acquisition Proposal or take any action or omit to take action, the taking or omission of which could reasonably be expected to lead to a Extensity Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, (c) engage in any discussions with any Person with respect to any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, except as to the existence of these provisions or (d) approve, endorse or recommend any Extensity Acquisition Proposal, other than in strict accordance with the Merger Agreement and then only in Stockholder’s capacity as a [director/ officer/ both of Extensity]. Moreover, even if Extensity receives a Extensity Superior Offer, Stockholder shall continue to be bound by this Agreement including, without limitation, its Sections 1, 2 and 3. Stockholder shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any of the foregoing. Stockholder shall immediately notify Geac, both orally and in writing, if any Person contacts Stockholder concerning any Extensity Acquisition Proposal.

      5.     Public Announcement. Stockholder shall not, in any capacity other than on behalf of Extensity and then only in accordance with the Merger Agreement, issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Stockholder from making any disclosures required by the SEC, the NASDAQ Stock Market or Law.

This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding agreement of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general application related to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.

      7.3.     No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor its performance by Stockholder will: (a) require Stockholder to file or register with, or obtain any permit, authorization, consent or approval or any Government Entity or other Person (other than any Schedule 13D filing required under the Exchange Act) or (b) violate, or cause a breach of or default under, any contract, Law, judgment, decree, writ or order to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or any of the Shares is bound or affected.

      7.4.     Adequate Information. Stockholder is a sophisticated investor and has had access to adequate information concerning the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of Extensity, the Extensity Subs, Geac and the Geac Subsidiaries to make an informed decision about the Merger Agreement, the Merger and this Agreement, and has independently and without reliance upon Geac, Geac Sub, Extensity or any Extensity Sub, based on such information as Stockholder deemed appropriate, made an independent analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and support the Merger. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the effectiveness of this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Sections 1 and 2) shall not be affected in any way by any events or circumstances that may occur after the date of this Agreement and before the Stockholder Meeting, or by any information disclosed after the date of this Agreement and before the Stockholder Meeting. Stockholder further understands and acknowledge that Stockholder will be bound by this Agreement even if, for example, a Extensity Superior Offer materializes. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that none of Geac, Geac Sub, Extensity and the Extensity Subs has made any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character, to Stockholder, and that Stockholder is not a third party beneficiary of the Merger Agreement.

      7.5.     No Setoff. Stockholder has no liability or obligation related to or in connection with the Shares, other than the obligations to Geac and Geac Sub set forth in this Agreement.

      8.     Specific Performance. Stockholder acknowledges that Geac and Geac Sub will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of Stockholder’s covenants contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, Stockholder agrees that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Geac and Geac Sub, Geac and Geac Sub shall have the right to injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by Stockholder of any such covenant or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such covenant.

      9.     Certain Litigation. Stockholder agrees to comply with the reasonable requests of Geac and Extensity in defending or settling any action brought by or against Extensity, Stockholder or any other affiliate or former affiliate of Extensity for any act or omission that preceded the Merger (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) including, without limitation, the securities class action currently pending against Extensity and others in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Any failure of Stockholder to comply with any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Geac or Geac Sub only by a written instrument signed by Geac granting the waiver.

ANNEX D

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

      THIS IS A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made and entered into as of August      , 2002 by and between GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED, a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Geac”), and                     (“Stockholder”). Geac and Stockholder are each sometimes referred to as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

B A C K G R O U N D

      Geac, Cage Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation that is wholly-owned by Geac (“Geac Sub”), and Extensity, Inc., a Delaware corporation, are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as of the same date as this Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement contemplates the merger of Geac Sub into Extensity. Stockholder owns shares of Extensity common stock and is also a [director/officer/both] of Extensity. In addition, Stockholder may be considered an “affiliate” of Extensity, as that term is defined for purposes of paragraph (c) of Rule 145 adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If and when the Merger is completed, Stockholder may receive Geac common shares in exchange for some or all of Stockholder’s shares of Extensity common stock. Geac and Geac Sub were not prepared to enter into the Merger Agreement, unless Stockholder and certain other stockholders of Extensity signed this and similar agreements. Stockholder has carefully read this Agreement and has discussed (or had an opportunity to discuss) its requirements and implications with Stockholder’s legal counsel. Because Stockholder desires that Geac enters into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is signing this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the balance of this Agreement have the definitions assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

      1.     Securities Act Restrictions. Stockholder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any common shares of Geac received by Stockholder in the Merger or any other security issued by Geac in exchange for any of such shares or in respect to any of such shares (“Geac Common Shares”) in violation of the Securities Act. Stockholder understands that any issuance of Geac Common Shares to Stockholder in the Merger is expected to be registered under the Securities Act on a Registration Statement on Form F-4. However, Stockholder also understands that Stockholder may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Geac Common Shares except in certain circumstances. That is because, at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, Stockholder may be considered an Affiliate of Extensity and because the distribution by Stockholder of Geac Common Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act. Accordingly, Stockholder may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Geac Common Stock issued to Stockholder in the Merger unless: (a) the sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act, (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume, holding period and other applicable limitations imposed by or through Rule 145 under the Securities Act, (c) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Geac (it being understood that the law firm of Cooley Godward LLP is deemed to be reasonably acceptable to Geac), the sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act, or (d) an authorized representative of the SEC takes a position in writing, reasonably acceptable to Geac, to the effect that the SEC would take no action, or that the staff of the SEC would not recommend that the SEC take action, with respect to such sale, transfer or other disposition, and a copy of such written position (a “No Action Correspondence”) is delivered to Geac. Stockholder understands that Geac will be under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Geac Common Shares by Stockholder or on Stockholder’s behalf under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make any exemption from registration available to Stockholder.

D-1


Table of Contents

      2.     Contractual Restriction. In addition, as a contractual matter, Stockholder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Geac Common Shares even if the requirements of Section 1 of this Agreement have been satisfied, except as follows: (a) on the day after the three month anniversary of the Effective Time, Stockholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of 16.7% of the Geac Common Shares, and (b) on the day after each subsequent monthly anniversary of the Effective Time, the Stockholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of up to an additional 16.7% of the Geac Common Shares following each monthly anniversary. Stockholder may only sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Geac Common Shares as set out in this Section 2 if the provisions of Section 1 are met.

      3.     Stop Transfer Instructions and Legend. Stockholder understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions will be given to Geac’s transfer agent with respect to the Geac Common Shares owned by Stockholder. In addition, Stockholder understands and agrees that Geac will cause substantially the following legend to be placed on all certificates representing Geac Common Shares held by Stockholder:

  “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLIES. THE SECURITIES MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT DATED AUGUST, 2002 BETWEEN THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES AND GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED. A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED.”

The legend shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without the legend, if Stockholder delivers to Geac a written request to remove the legend and such Geac Common Stock is no longer subject to the contractual transfer restrictions set forth at Section 2 of this Agreement and either (a) Stockholder has furnished Geac with reasonably satisfactory evidence and representations that the securities represented by the certificate are being or have been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of Section 1 above or (b) Stockholder has delivered to Geac the opinion contemplated by clause (c) of Section 1 above, in written form addressed to Geac and obtained at the cost of Stockholder, or (c) Stockholder has delivered to Geac the No Action Correspondence contemplated by clause (d) of Section 1 above, obtained at the cost of Stockholder.

      4.     Specific Performance. Stockholder acknowledges that Geac may be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a breach of any of Stockholder’s promises contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, Stockholder agrees that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Geac, Geac shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of any such promise or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such promise.

      5.     Miscellaneous

      5.1.     Amendment and Modification. This Agreement contains the entire understanding, both oral and written, of the Parties. It supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written agreement of Geac and Stockholder.

      5.2.     Waiver. Any failure of Stockholder to comply with any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Geac only by a written instrument signed by Geac granting the waiver. However, a waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with a provision in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure to comply with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

      5.3.     Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by overnight courier or similar means, or sent by facsimile with written confirmation of receipt, to the other Party at the applicable address specified below or to such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATIONS LAW SECTION 262

SEC. 262.     APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

      (a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to §228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

      (b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to §251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to §251(g) of this title), §252, §254, §257, §258, §263 or §264 of this title:

        (1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of §251 of this title.
 
        (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

        a.     Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
 
        b.     Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
        c.     Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or
 
        d.     Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

E-1


Table of Contents

        (3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under §253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

      (c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

      (d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

        (1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
        (2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to §228 or §253 of this title, then, either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation, or the surviving or resulting corporation within ten days thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given,

E-2


Table of Contents

  provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

      (e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.

      (f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

      (g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

      (h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may

E-3


Table of Contents

participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

      (i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

      (j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

      (k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.

      (l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

 
Item 20.      Indemnification of Directors and Officers

      Article 9 of Geac’s bylaws provides that Geac shall indemnify its officers and directors to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that a corporation may advance monies to a director, or officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding for which the corporation is permitted to indemnify such a person. The individual shall repay such monies if he or she does not fulfill the conditions for indemnification. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of another body corporate referred to as an “indemnifiable person”, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, investigative or administrative action or proceeding in which the indemnifiable person is involved because of their association with the corporation or such body corporate, if he or she was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and: (i) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such corporation; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. An indemnifiable person is entitled under the Canada Business Corporations Act to such indemnity from the corporation if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set out in (i) and (ii) above. A corporation may, with the approval of a court, also indemnify an indemnifiable person in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, if he or she fulfills the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii), above.

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching generally to the preference shares without par value, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the Corporation among shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive from the assets of the Corporation a sum equivalent to the aggregate Series 1 Redemption Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all of the Series 1 Preference Shares held by them respectively before any amount shall be paid or any assets of the Corporation distributed to the holders of Common Shares or shares of any other class ranking junior to the Series 1 Preference Shares. After payment to the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares of the amount so payable to them as above provided they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation. 3. Redemption (a) The Corporation may, subject to the requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act and the provisions of this Section and Section 4 hereof, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, redeem at any time after October 9, 1991 the whole or from time to time any part of the then outstanding Series 1 Preference Shares on payment of an amount for each share to be redeemed equal to $19.20 plus all declared and unpaid non-cumulative cash dividends thereon, the whole constituting and being herein referred to as the "Series 1 Redemption Amount"; (b) In the case of redemption of Series 1 Preference Shares under the provisions of Subsection 3(a) hereof, the Corporation shall, unless waived in writing by the holders of all of the Series 1 Preference Shares, at least 20 days before the date specified for redemption deliver or mail to each person, who at the date of mailing is a registered holder of Series 1 Preference Shares to be redeemed, a notice in writing of the intention of the Corporation to redeem such Series 1 Preference Shares. Such notice shall be delivered or mailed by letter, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation or in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last known address of such shareholder or if delivered, delivered to each such shareholder at such address; provided, however, that accidental failure to give any such notice to one or more of such shareholders shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Such notice shall set out the Series 1 Redemption Amount and the date on which redemption is to take place and, if part only of the shares held by the person to whom it is addressed is to be redeemed, the number thereof to be so redeemed; provided, however, that if a part -4- only of the Series 1 Preference Shares for the time being outstanding is to be redeemed, the shares so to be redeemed shall be selected by lot in such manner as the directors in their discretion shall decide or if the directors so determine may be redeemed pro rata (disregarding fractions) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the holders of all of the Series 1 Preference Shares. On or after the date so specified for redemption, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or the order of the registered holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares to be redeemed the Series 1 Redemption Amount thereof on presentation and surrender, at the registered office of the Corporation or any other place designated in such notice, of the certificates representing the Series 1 Preference Shares called for redemption. Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at par at any branch of the Corporation's bankers in Canada. If less than all of the Series 1 Preference Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Series 1 Preference Shares represented by the original certificate which are not redeemed. From and after the date specified for redemption in any such notice, the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Series 1 Redemption Amount shall not be made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of shareholders in respect thereof shall remain unaffected. The Corporation shall have the right, at any time after the mailing of notice of its intention to redeem any Series 1 Preference Shares, to deposit the Series 1 Redemption Amount of the shares so called for redemption or of such of the said shares represented by certificates as have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption to a special account in any chartered bank or in any trust company in Canada, named in such notice, to be paid without interest to or to the order of the respective holders of such Series 1 Preference Shares called for redemption upon presentation and surrender to such bank or trust company of the certificates representing the same. Upon such deposit being made or upon the date specified for redemption in such notice, whichever is the later, the Series 1 Preference Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or such redemption date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving without interest their proportionate part of the total Series 1 Redemption Amount so deposited against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them respectively and any interest on the amount so deposited shall be for the account of the Corporation. If any part of the total Series 1 Redemption Amount so deposited has not been paid to or to the order of the respective holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares which were called for redemption within two years after the date upon which such deposit was made or the date specified for redemption in the said notice, whichever is the later, such balance remaining in the said special account shall be returned to the Corporation without prejudice to the rights of the holders of the shares being -5- redeemed to claim the Series 1 Redemption Amount without interest from the Corporation. 4. Redemption Fund (a) Subject to Subsection 4(b) hereof, so long as any of the Series 1 Preference Shares remain outstanding, the Corporation shall, no later than May 1st, 1992 and on the first day of each fiscal year of the Corporation commencing thereafter, set aside as a special account (the "Series 1 Redemption Fund Account"), to be reflected in the books of the Corporation as a fund for payment of the Series 1 Redemption Amount to be paid on the redemption of Series 1 Preference Shares, an amount equal to $750,000, or such lesser amount as is determined by the directors of Corporation in accordance with Subsection 4(b) hereof. The Corporation will redeem, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof, Series 1 Preference Shares with such funds so set aside on or before the last day of each such fiscal year. Any amount or amounts set aside in the Series 1 Redemption Fund Account need not be kept apart from other monies of the Corporation and pending the use or application thereof for the purpose hereinafter provided may be employed in the business of the Corporation. (b) The Corporation shall redeem Series 1 Preference Shares in accordance with Subsection 4(a) hereof only if and to the extent that the directors of the Corporation, acting in good faith and in the best interest of the Corporation, determine that the Corporation, after giving effect to the redemption, will be able to meet its obligations as they become due and will have a sufficient working capital to permit the efficient operation of the businesses of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. (c) So long as any Series 1 Preference Shares remain outstanding, no dividend shall at any time be declared and paid on or declared for payment on the Common Shares or on any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series 1 Preference Shares for any fiscal year commencing after April 30, 1992 unless the Corporation has redeemed Series 1 Preference Shares for an aggregate Series 1 Redemption Amount of $750,000. 5. Voting Rights The holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares as such shall not be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, unless the meeting is called: (a) to consider any matter in respect of which the holders of the preference shares without par value would be entitled to vote separately as a class or the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares would be entitled to vote separately as a series; or -6- (b) for the purpose of authorizing the dissolution of the Corporation or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the Corporation other than in the ordinary course of business of the Corporation, then in each case the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend such meeting. The holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares as such shall not be entitled either to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or to sign a resolution in writing, except at a meeting called to consider, or a resolution in writing in respect of, any matter in respect of which the holders of the preference shares without par value would be entitled to vote as a class or the holders or the Series 1 Preference Shares would be entitled to vote separately as a series pursuant to any applicable laws. 6. Conversion at the Option of the Holder (a) Subject as hereinafter provided, any holder of Series 1 Preference Shares shall be entitled, at his or her option at any time up to the close of business on the third day prior to the redemption date specified in any notice of redemption of Series 1 Preference Shares, to have all or any of the Series 1 Preference Shares held by him or her converted into fully paid Common Shares as the same shall be constituted at the time of conversion at the rate of nine Common Shares for each Series 1 Preference Share in respect of which the conversion privilege is exercised. (b) The conversion privilege herein provided for may only be exercised by notice in writing given to the Corporation at its registered office accompanied by the certificate or certificates for Series 1 Preference Shares in respect of which the holder thereof desires to exercise such right of conversion and such notice shall be signed by the person registered on the books of the Corporation as the holder of the Series 1 Preference Shares which the holder desires to have converted. Upon the Corporation receiving such notice it shall issue certificates for Common Shares, at the applicable rate herein prescribed and in accordance with the provisions hereof, to the registered holder of the Series 1 Preference Shares represented by the certificate or certificates accompanying such notice. If less than all of the Series 1 Preference Shares represented by any such certificate are converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Series 1 Preference Shares represented by the original certificate which are not converted. (c) Upon conversion of any Series 1 Preference Shares pursuant to this Section or Section 7 hereof the Corporation shall make a payment to the holder of such shares of an amount equal to all dividends declared and unpaid on such shares at the date of conversion but shall make no payment or adjustment on account of any dividends on the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion. -7- (d) If the Corporation shall subdivide its Common Shares into a greater number of shares or shall issue in exchange for such Common Shares a greater number of Common Shares then, in such case from and after the effective date of such subdivision or exchange of shares, the conversion rate for the purposes of this Section or Section 7 hereof shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision or exchange, and if the Corporation shall reduce the number of Common Shares by combination or consolidation of shares or shall issue in exchange for its outstanding Common Shares a smaller number of Common Shares then, in each case from and after the effective date of such combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, the conversion rate for the purposes of this Section or Section 7 hereof shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease in the number of the outstanding Common Shares resulting from such combination, consolidation or exchange of shares. (e) If the Corporation shall declare and pay a stock dividend upon the Common Shares or a dividend payable at the option of the respective holders either in Common Shares or cash, then in each case from and after the payment date of such dividend the conversion rate for the purposes of this Section or Section 7 hereof shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such dividend. (f) The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares in satisfaction of the conversion privilege hereinbefore provided for in this Section or Section 7 hereof but in lieu of fractional shares it shall issue non-voting and non-dividend bearing scrip certificates for a fraction of a share in a form approved by the board of directors. Such scrip certificates may be consolidated into certificates for full shares within such reasonable time as may be determined by the board of directors and, if the aggregate amount of shares represented by scrip certificates surrendered for consolidation is an amount in excess of an even number of shares, the Corporation shall at the time of delivery of certificates for the number of full shares called for by the surrender of scrip certificates issue a new scrip certificate for an amount equal to such excess. Such scrip certificates may contain provisions authorizing the sale by the Corporation after the expiration of such reasonable time as may be determined by the board of directors of the number of shares represented by such scrip certificates for the benefit of the holders of such scrip certificates. (g) All shares issued for the purpose of or with respect to any conversion of Series 1 Preference Shares into Common Shares under these articles or the consolidation of scrip certificates and of shares sold under the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable. -8- 7. Conversion at the Option of the Corporation (a) The Corporation may, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, convert all but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Series 1 Preference Shares of the Corporation into Common Shares if the weighted average of the prices of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") during any period of 20 consecutive trading days (the "Trading Period") during which the TSX is open for business ending on a day within 90 days prior to the giving of the notice of such conversion as hereinafter provided exceeds $4.1625, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event the conversion rate is adjusted pursuant to Subsections 6(d) and (e) hereof in the same proportion as the conversion rate is adjusted. (b) In the case of a conversion of Series 1 Preference Shares under the provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall within 89 days of the last day of the Trading Period deliver or mail to each person who at the date of mailing is a registered holder of Series 1 Preference Shares to be converted a notice in writing of the intention of the Corporation to convert such Series 1 Preference Shares.

Such notice shall set out the number of Common Shares to be issued to such shareholder on the conversion and the date on which the conversion is to take place (which may be the date on which the notice is mailed or delivered as the case may be). On the date so specified for conversion, the Corporation shall cancel all of the issued and outstanding Series 1 Preference Shares and shall issue to the registered holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares or to such persons as they may direct, Common Shares on the basis set out in Subsection 7(a) above. Upon presentation and surrender, at the registered office of the Corporation or any other place designated in such notice, of the certificates representing the Series 1 Preference Shares called for conversion, the Corporation shall or shall cause to be issued to such holders a certificate representing the Common Shares issued on the conversion. From and after the date specified for conversion in any such notice, the holders of the Series 1 Preference Shares shall cease to be holders of Series 1 Preference Shares and shall not as such be entitled to dividends and shall not as such be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof other than their rights as holders of Common Shares into which such Series 1 Preference Shares are converted. -9- 3.IV The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the second series of the preference shares without nominal or par value of the Corporation (hereinafter called the "Series 2 Preference Shares") are as follows: 1.

(d) Rights may be exercised in whole or in part on any Business Day after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time by submitting to the Rights Agent at its office in Toronto, Ontario or, with the approval of the Rights Agent, at any other office of the Rights Agent in the cities designated from time to time for that purpose by the Corporation: (i) the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights with an election to exercise (an "ELECTION TO EXERCISE") substantially in the form attached to the Rights Certificate appropriately completed and duly executed by the holder or his executors or administrators or other personal representatives or his legal attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Rights Agent; and (ii) payment by certified cheque, banker's draft or money order payable to the order of the Rights Agent, of a sum equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Rights being exercised and a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of the transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Voting Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being exercised. (e) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate, with a completed Election to Exercise appropriately completed and duly executed which does not indicate that such Right is null and void as provided by Subsection 3.1(b), accompanied by payment as set forth in Clause 2.2(d)(ii), the Rights Agent (unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Corporation) will thereupon promptly: (i) requisition from the transfer agent of the Common Shares certificates for the number of Common Shares to be purchased (the Corporation hereby irrevocably agreeing to authorize its transfer agent to comply with all such requisitions); - 18 - (ii) after receipt of such certificates referred to in Clause 2.2(e)(i), deliver such certificates to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder; (iii) when appropriate, requisition from the Corporation the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares or fractional Right; (iv) after receipt, deliver such cash referred to in Clause 2.2(e)(iii) to or to the order of the registered holder of the Rights Certificate; and (v) tender to the Corporation all payments received on exercise of the Rights.

(g) The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will: (i) take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to ensure that all securities delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such securities (subject to payment of the Exercise Price), be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered as fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to comply with any applicable requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act, the Securities Act (Ontario) and the securities statute or comparable legislation of each of the other provinces and territories of Canada, and other applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and any other applicable law, rule or regulation, in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Rights Certificates and the issuance of any Common Shares upon exercise of Rights; (iii) use reasonable efforts to cause all Common Shares issued upon exercise of Rights to be listed upon issuance on The Toronto Stock Exchange and each other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed or admitted to trading at that time; (iv) pay when due and payable any and all Canadian and United States federal, provincial and state transfer taxes (not in the nature of income or withholding taxes) and charges which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or certificates for Common Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of the - 19 - transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being transferred or exercised; and (v) cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, the number of Common Shares that, as provided in this Agreement, will from time to time be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. 2.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE; NUMBER OF RIGHTS (a) The Exercise Price, the number and kind of securities subject to purchase upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.3. (b) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Expiration Time: (i) declare or pay a dividend on the Common Shares of the Corporation payable in Common Shares or other capital stock of the Corporation (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares) other than pursuant to any optional stock dividend program; (ii) subdivide or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; (iii) consolidate or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or (iv) issue any Common Shares or other capital stock of the Corporation (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares) in respect of, in lieu of, or in exchange for existing Common Shares; the Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding or, if the payment or effective date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights, shall be adjusted in the manner set forth below. If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted: (x) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of Common Shares (the "EXPANSION FACTOR") that a holder of one Common Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof - 20 - (assuming the exercise of all such exchange, conversion or acquisition rights, if any); and (y) each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor and the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be distributed among the Common Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the Common Shares issued or issuable in respect of such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance, so that each such Common Share will have exactly one Right associated with it. For greater certainty, if the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof. To the extent that such rights of exchange, conversion or acquisition are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. If after the Record Time and prior to the Expiration Time the Corporation shall issue any shares of capital stock other than Common Shares in a transaction of a type described in Clause 2.3(b)(i) or (iv), shares of such capital stock shall be treated herein as nearly equivalent to Common Shares as may be practicable and appropriate under the circumstances and the Corporation and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement in order to effect such treatment. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 2.3 and Section 3.1, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 3.1. If the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a transaction referred to in this Subsection 2.3(b), each such Common Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such associated Common Share. (c) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the issuance to all holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to acquire Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or, if a security convertible into - 21 - or exchangeable for or carrying a right to acquire Common Shares, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price, including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable security or right, per share) less than the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities or rights)) would purchase at such Market Price per Common Share and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. To the extent that such rights of exchange, conversion or acquisition are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury shares or otherwise) pursuant to any dividend or interest reinvestment plan and/or any Common Share purchase plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and/or the investment of periodic optional payments and/or employee benefit or similar plans (so long as such right to purchase is in no case evidenced by the delivery of rights or warrants) shall not be deemed to constitute an issue of rights or warrants by the Corporation; provided, however, that, in the case of any dividend or interest reinvestment plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90 percent of the current market price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares. (d) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a Regular Periodic Cash Dividend (as defined below) or a dividend paid in Common Shares) or rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection 2.3(c)), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately - 22 - prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so to be distributed applicable to the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right. For the purpose of this Subsection 2.3(d), "REGULAR PERIODIC CASH DIVIDEND" shall mean cash dividends paid at regular intervals in any fiscal year of the Corporation to the extent that such cash dividends do not exceed, in the aggregate, the greatest of: (i) 200% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends declared payable by the Corporation on its Common Shares in its immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii) 300% of the arithmetic mean of the aggregate amounts of cash dividends declared payable by the Corporation on its Common Shares in its three immediately preceding fiscal years; and (iii) 100% of the aggregate consolidated net income of the Corporation, before extraordinary items, for its immediately preceding fiscal year. (e) Each adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be made as of: (i) the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection 2.3(b) above; and (ii) the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection 2.3(c) or (d) above. (f) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue any shares of capital stock (other than Common Shares), or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any such capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such capital stock in a transaction referred to in Clause 2.3(b)(i) or (iv), if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(b), (c) and (d) above in connection with such transaction will not appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Board of Directors may determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights and/or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and, notwithstanding Subsections 2.3(b), (c) and (d) above, but subject to the prior consent of the holders of Common Shares or Rights obtained as set forth in Subsection 5.4(b) or (c) as applicable, such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(b), (c) and (d) above, shall be made. The Corporation and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as appropriate to provide for such adjustments. - 23 - (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 2.3(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest ten-thousandth of a Common Share, as the case may be. (h) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3.1, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any securities other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right and the applicable Exercise Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in the provisions of this Section 2.3 and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Common Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other securities. (i) All Rights originally issued by the Corporation subsequent to any adjustment made to an Exercise Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. (j) Unless the Corporation shall have exercised its election, as provided in Subsection 2.3(k), upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsections 2.3(c) and (d), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of Common Shares obtained by: (i) multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares covered by a Right immediately prior to such adjustment, by (B) the relevant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the relevant Exercise Price; and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the relevant Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the relevant Exercise Price. (k) The Corporation may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of an Exercise Price to adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after the adjustment in the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Common Shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become the number of Rights (calculated to the nearest one ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing the relevant Exercise Price in effect - 24 - immediately prior to adjustment of relevant Exercise Price by the relevant Exercise Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the relevant Exercise Price. The Corporation shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the relevant Exercise Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least 10 days later than the date of the public announcement. If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Subsection 2.3(k), the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date, Rights Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 5.5, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Corporation, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Rights Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof if required by the Corporation, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Rights Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and may bear, at the option of the Corporation, the relevant adjusted Exercise Price and shall be registered in the names of holders of record of Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. (l) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the securities so purchasable which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder. (m) In any case in which this Section 2.3 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Corporation may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the relevant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. (n) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.3, as and to the extent that in its good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable in - 25 - -25- order that any (i) subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares, (ii) issuance (wholly or in part for cash) of Common Shares at less than the applicable Market Price, (iii) issuance (wholly for cash) of any Common Shares or securities that by their terms are exchangeable for or convertible into or give a right to acquire Common Shares, (iv) stock dividends, or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 2.3, hereafter made by the Corporation to holders of its Common Shares, subject to applicable taxation laws, shall not be taxable to such shareholders. (o) After the Separation Time, the Corporation will not, except as permitted by the provisions hereof, take (or permit any Subsidiary of the Corporation to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. (p) Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price or a change in the securities purchasable upon the exercise of Rights is made pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Corporation shall promptly: (i) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment; (ii) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares, a copy of such certificate; and (iii) cause notice of the particulars of such adjustment or change to be given to the holders of the Rights. Failure to file such certificate or to cause such notice to be given as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment or change. 2.4 DATE ON WHICH EXERCISE IS EFFECTIVE Each Person in whose name any certificate for Common Shares or other securities, if applicable, is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares or other securities, if applicable, represented thereby, and such certificate shall be dated the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered in accordance with Subsection 2.2(e) (together with a duly completed Election to Exercise) and payment of the Exercise Price for such Rights (and any applicable transfer taxes and other governmental charges payable by the exercising holder hereunder) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Common Share transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Common Share transfer books of the Corporation are open. - 26 - 2.5 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING OF RIGHTS CERTIFICATES (a) The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its President and its Chief Financial Officer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals holding the above offices of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Rights Certificates. (b) Promptly after the Corporation learns of the Separation Time, the Corporation will notify the Rights Agent in writing of such Separation Time and will deliver Rights Certificates executed by the Corporation to the Rights Agent for countersignature and a disclosure statement describing the Rights, and the Rights Agent shall countersign (manually or by facsimile signature) and mail such Rights Certificates and disclosure statement to the holders of the Rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2(c). No Rights Certificate shall be valid for any purpose until countersigned by the Rights Agent as aforesaid. (c) Each Rights Certificate shall be dated the date of countersignature thereof. 2.6 REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE (a) From and after the Separation Time, the Corporation will cause to be kept a register (the "RIGHTS REGISTER") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation will provide for the registration and transfer of Rights. The Rights Agent is hereby appointed "RIGHTS REGISTRAR" for the purpose of maintaining the Rights Register for the Corporation and registering Rights and transfers of Rights as herein provided. In the event that the Rights Agent shall cease to be the Rights Registrar, the Rights Agent will have the right to examine the Rights Register at all reasonable times. After the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Rights Certificate, and subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.6(c), the Corporation will execute, and the Rights Agent will countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder thereof or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder's instructions, one or more new Rights Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the Rights Certificates so surrendered. (b) All Rights issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Rights Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Corporation, and such Rights shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Rights surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. - 27 - (c) Every Rights Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, duly executed, by the holder thereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.6, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith. (d) The Corporation shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Rights after the Rights have been terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 2.7 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN RIGHTS CERTIFICATES (a) If any mutilated Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered. (b) If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Rights Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Rights Agent that such Rights Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon its request the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen. (c) As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.7, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith. (d) Every new Rights Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall evidence a contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Rights duly issued hereunder. - 28 - 2.8 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS Prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Voting Share certificate) for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, such Voting Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever. 2.9 DELIVERY AND CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATES All Rights Certificates surrendered upon exercise or for redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Rights Agent, be delivered to the Rights Agent and, in any case, shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. The Corporation may at any time deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation any Rights Certificates previously countersigned and delivered hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Rights Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. No Rights Certificate shall be countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Rights Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Rights Agent shall destroy all cancelled Rights Certificates and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Corporation. 2.10 AGREEMENT OF RIGHTS HOLDERS Every holder of Rights, by accepting such Rights, consents and agrees with the Corporation and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of Rights that: (a) such holder shall be bound by and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, in respect of all Rights held; (b) prior to the Separation Time, each Right will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, the associated Voting Share certificate representing such Right; (c) after the Separation Time, the Rights will be transferable only on the Rights Register as provided herein; (d) prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Voting Share certificate) for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Voting Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on such Rights Certificate or the associated Voting Share certificate made by anyone other than the - 29 - Corporation or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; (e) such holder of Rights is not entitled to receive any fractional Rights or fractional Common Shares or other securities upon the exercise of Rights; (f) without the approval of any holder of Rights or Voting Shares and upon the sole authority of the Board of Directors acting in good faith, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 and the third last paragraph of Subsection 2.3(b); and (g) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or to any other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a government, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation. ARTICLE III - ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A FLIP-IN EVENT 3.1 FLIP-IN EVENT (a) Subject to Subsection 3.1(b) and Sections 5.1 and 5.2, in the event that prior to the Expiration Time a Flip-in Event shall occur, each Right shall constitute, effective from and after the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day following the Stock Acquisition Date, the right to purchase from the Corporation, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, that number of Common Shares having an aggregate Market Price on the date of consummation or occurrence of such Flip-in Event equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (such right to be appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment provided for in Section 2.3 in the event that after such date of consummation or occurrence an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred with respect to such Common Shares). (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, any Rights that are or were Beneficially Owned on or after the earlier of the Separation Time or the Stock Acquisition Date by: (i) an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or any Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or with any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person); or - 30 - (ii) a transferee or other successor-in-title, directly or indirectly, from an Acquiring Person (or from any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or any Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or with any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person) in a transfer of Rights, whether or not for consideration, that the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, understanding or scheme of an Acquiring Person (or of any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person) that has the purpose or effect of avoiding the provisions of Clause 3.1(b)(i); shall become null and void without any further action and any holder of such Rights (including transferees or other successors-in-title) shall thereafter have no right to exercise or transfer such Rights under any provision of this Agreement and shall have no other rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The holder of any Rights represented by a Rights Certificate which is submitted to the Rights Agent upon exercise or for registration of transfer or exchange which does not contain the necessary certifications set forth in the Rights Certificate establishing that such Rights are not void under this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for the purposes of this Section 3.1 and such Rights shall become null and void. (c) Any Rights Certificate that represents Rights Beneficially Owned by a Person described in either Clause 3.1(b)(i) or 3.1(b)(ii) or transferred to any nominee of any such Person, and any Rights Certificate issued upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain the following legend: "The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate were issued to a Person who was an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or an Associate of an Acquiring Person, or a Person acting jointly or in concert with any of them (as such terms are defined in the Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement). This Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby shall become void in the circumstances specified in Subsection 3.1(b) of the Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement." provided, however, that the Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility to ascertain the existence of facts that would require the imposition of such legend but shall be required to impose such legend only if instructed to do so in writing by the Corporation or if a holder fails to certify upon transfer or exchange in the space provided on the Rights Certificate that such holder is not a Person described in such legend. The issuance of a Rights Certificate without the legend referred to in this Subsection 3.1(c) shall be of no effect on the provisions of Subsection 3.1(b). - 31 - ARTICLE IV - THE RIGHTS AGENT 4.1 GENERAL (a) The Corporation hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Corporation and the holders of Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Corporation may from time to time appoint one or more co-rights agents (each a "CO-RIGHTS AGENT") as it may deem necessary or desirable, subject to the approval of the Rights Agent. In the event the Corporation appoints one or more Co-Rights Agents, the respective duties of the Rights Agent and Co-Rights Agents shall be as the Corporation may determine with the approval of the Rights Agent and the Co-Rights Agents. The Corporation agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Corporation also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, suit, damage or expense, incurred without negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability, which right to indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent. (b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any certificate for Common Shares, Rights Certificate, certificate for other securities of the Corporation, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons. (c) The Corporation shall inform the Rights Agent in a reasonably timely manner of events which may materially affect the administration of this Agreement by the Rights Agent and, at any time upon request, shall provide to the Rights Agent an incumbency certificate certifying the then current officers of the Corporation. 4.2 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF BLAME OF RIGHTS AGENT (a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or amalgamated or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, amalgamation or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent is a party, or any corporation - 32 - succeeding to the shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, will be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 4.4. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent succeeds to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Rights Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent is changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 4.3 DUTIES OF RIGHTS AGENT The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Corporation and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: (a) The Rights Agent may retain and consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Corporation), and the opinion of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion and the Rights Agent may also retain and consult with such other experts or advisors as the Rights Agent shall consider necessary or appropriate to properly carry out the duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement (at the Corporation's expense) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to act and rely in good faith on the advice of such experts or advisors. (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Rights Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Corporation prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by an individual believed by the Rights Agent to be the - 33 - President, the Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate will be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken, omitted or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. (c) The Rights Agent will be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct. (d) The Rights Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the certificates for Common Shares or the Rights Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by the Corporation only. (e) The Rights Agent will not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Common Share certificate or Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor will it be responsible for any breach by the Corporation of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor will it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b)) or any adjustment required under the provisions of Section 2.3 or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights after receipt of the certificate contemplated by Subsection 2.3(p) describing any such adjustment); nor will it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights or as to whether any Common Shares will, when issued, be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered and fully paid and non-assessable. (f) The Corporation will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept written instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any individual believed by the Rights Agent to be the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation, and to apply to such individuals for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such individual. - 34 - (h) The Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in Common Shares, Rights or other securities of the Corporation or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Corporation may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Corporation or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Corporation or for any other legal entity. (i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Corporation resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 4.4 CHANGE OF RIGHTS AGENT The Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 60 days' notice (or such lesser notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) in writing mailed to the Corporation and to the transfer agent of Common Shares by registered or certified mail. The Corporation may remove the Rights Agent upon 60 days' notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent and to the transfer agent of the Common Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. If the Rights Agent should resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, the Corporation will appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Corporation fails to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent (at the Corporation's expense) or by the holder of any Rights (which holder shall, with such notice if given after the Separation Time, submit such holder's Rights Certificate for inspection by the Corporation), then the holder of any Rights may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Corporation or by such a court, shall be a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province thereof authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent, upon receipt of any and all outstanding amounts owing to it pursuant to this Agreement, shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Corporation will file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and the transfer agent of the Common Shares, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the holders of the Rights. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 4.4, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. - 35 - ARTICLE V - MISCELLANEOUS 5.1 REDEMPTION OF RIGHTS (a) With the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares or Rights obtained in accordance with Subsection 5.4(b) or (c), as applicable, the Board of Directors, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.2, may elect to redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right, appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment to the Exercise Price provided for in Section 2.3 if an event analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred (such redemption price being herein referred to as the "REDEMPTION PRICE"). (b) If a Person acquires, pursuant to a Permitted Bid, a Competing Permitted Bid or pursuant to an Exempt Acquisition occurring under Subsection 5.2(a) or (b), outstanding Voting Shares, other than Voting Shares Beneficially Owned at the date of such Permitted Bid, Competing Permitted Bid or Exempt Acquisition by such Person, the Board of Directors shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 5.1(a), immediately upon such acquisition and without further formality, be deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights at the Redemption Price. (c) Where a Take-over Bid that is not a Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid expires, is withdrawn or is otherwise terminated after the Separation Time has occurred and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors may elect to redeem all of the outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price. (d) If the Board of Directors elects to or is deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights and, in circumstances where Subsection 5.1(a) is applicable, the requisite consent is given by the holders of Voting Shares or Rights, as applicable, (i) the right to exercise the Rights will thereupon, without further action and without notice, terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price, and (ii) subject to Subsection 5.1(f), no further Rights shall thereafter be issued. (e) Within 10 Business Days of the Board of Directors electing or having been deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights or, if Subsection 5.1(a) is applicable, within 10 Business Days after the requisite consent is given by the holders of Voting Shares or Rights, as applicable, the Corporation shall give notice of redemption to the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to each such holder at his last address as it appears upon the Rights Register or, prior to the Separation Time, on the register of Voting Shares maintained by the Corporation's transfer agent or transfer agents. Each such notice of redemption shall state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price shall be made. - 36 - (f) Upon the Rights being redeemed pursuant to Subsection 5.1(c), all the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights Certificates representing the number of Rights held by each holder of record of Voting Shares as of the Separation Time had not been mailed to each such holder and, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred. 5.2 WAIVER OF FLIP-IN EVENTS (a) With the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares obtained in accordance with Subsection 5.4(b), the Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares otherwise than in the circumstances described in Subsection 5.2(b) or (c), waive the application of Section 3.1 to such Flip-in Event by written notice delivered to the Rights Agent. (b) The Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event that would occur by reason of a Take-over Bid made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares (which, for greater certainty, shall not include the circumstances described in Subsection 5.2(c)), waive the application of Section 3.1 to such Flip-in Event by written notice delivered to the Rights Agent, provided, however, that if the Board of Directors waives the application of Section 3.1 to such a Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of Section 3.1 to any other Flip-in Event occurring by reason of any Take-over Bid which is made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares prior to the expiry of any Take-over Bid in respect of which a waiver is, or is deemed to have been, granted under this Subsection 5.2(b). (c) The Board of Directors may waive the application of Section 3.1 to a Flip-in Event provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Board of Directors has determined that the Acquiring Person became an Acquiring Person by inadvertence and without any intention to become, or knowledge that it would become, an Acquiring Person; and (ii) such Acquiring Person has reduced its Beneficial Ownership of Voting Shares such that, at the time of the waiver pursuant to this Subsection 5.2(c), it is no longer an Acquiring Person. 5.3 ISSUANCE OF NEW RIGHTS CERTIFICATES Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Corporation may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by the Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the number - 37 - or kind or class of shares purchasable upon exercise of Rights made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 5.4 SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS (a) The Corporation may from time to time prior to or after the Separation Time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights or Voting Shares in order to correct any clerical or typographical error or, subject to Subsection 5.4(d), to maintain the validity and effectiveness of this Agreement as a result of any change in applicable laws, rules or regulatory requirements. The Corporation may, prior to the date of the shareholders' meeting referred to in Clause (ii) of Section 5.17, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights or Voting Shares in order to make any changes which the Board of Directors acting in good faith may deem necessary or desirable. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no such supplement or amendment shall be made to the provisions of Article 4 except with the written concurrence of the Rights Agent to such supplement or amendment. (b) Subject to Subsection 5.4(a), the Corporation may, with the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares obtained as set forth below, at any time prior to the Separation Time, amend, vary or rescind any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally). Such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the action requiring such approval is authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders present or represented at and entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of Voting Shares duly called and held in compliance with applicable laws and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation. (c) Subject to Subsection 5.4(a), the Corporation may, with the prior consent of the holders of Rights obtained as set forth below, at any time after the Separation Time, amend, vary or rescind any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally). Such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the action requiring such approval is authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Rights (other than any holder of Rights whose Rights have become null and void pursuant to the provisions hereof) present or represented at and entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of Rights. For the purposes hereof, the procedures for the calling, holding and conduct of a meeting of the holders of Rights shall be those, as nearly as may be, which are provided in the Corporation's by-laws with respect to meetings of its shareholders and each Right shall be entitled to one vote at any such meeting. (d) Any amendments made by the Corporation to this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 5.4(a) which are required to maintain the validity and effectiveness of - 38 - this Agreement as a result of any change in any applicable laws, rules or regulatory requirements shall: (i) if made before the Separation Time, be submitted to the holders of Voting Shares at the next meeting of holders of Voting Shares and the holders of Voting Shares may, by the majority referred to in Subsection 5.4(b), confirm or reject such amendment; and (ii) if made after the Separation Time, be submitted to the holders of Rights at a meeting to be called and held in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 5.4(c) and the holders of Rights may, by a majority referred to in Subsection 5.4(c), confirm or reject such amendment. Any such amendment shall, unless the Board of Directors otherwise stipulates, be effective from the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors adopting such amendment, until it is confirmed or rejected or until it ceases to be effective (as described in the next sentence) and, where such amendment is confirmed, it shall continue in effect in the form so confirmed. If such amendment is rejected by the holders of Voting Shares or the holders of Rights or is not submitted to the holders of Voting Shares or holders of Rights as required, then such amendment shall cease to be effective from and after the termination of the meeting at which it was rejected or to which it should have been but was not submitted or if such a meeting of the holders of Rights is not called within 90 days after the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors adopting such amendment, at the end of such period, and no subsequent resolution of the Board of Directors to amend this Agreement to substantially the same effect shall be effective until confirmed by the holders of Voting Shares or holders of Rights as the case may be. (e) The Corporation shall be required to provide the Rights Agent with notice in writing of any amendment, rescission or variation to this Agreement as referred to in this Section 5.4 within five days of effecting such amendment, rescission or variation. 5.5 FRACTIONAL RIGHTS AND FRACTIONAL SHARES (a) The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Rights Certificates which evidence fractional Rights. Subject to Section 5.17, after the Separation Time there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Market Price at the Separation Time of a whole Right in lieu of such fractional Rights. The Rights Agent shall have no obligation to make any payments in lieu of fractional Rights unless the Corporation shall have provided the Rights Agent with the necessary funds to pay in full all amounts payable in accordance with Subsection 2.2 (e). - 39 - (b) The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the registered holder of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Market Price at the date of such exercise of one Common Share. The Rights Agent shall have no obligation to make any payments in lieu of fractional Voting Shares unless the Corporation shall have provided the Rights Agent with the necessary funds to pay in full all amounts payable in accordance with Subsection 2.2 (e). 5.6 RIGHTS OF ACTION Subject to the terms of this Agreement, rights of action in respect of this Agreement, other than rights of action vested solely in the Rights Agent, are vested in the respective holders of the Rights; and any holder of any Rights, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights, may, on such holder's own behalf and for such holder's own benefit and the benefit of other holders of Rights, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Corporation to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder's right to exercise such holder's Rights in the manner provided in such holder's Rights Certificate and in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. All "section" references, unless otherwise indicated, are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). We have acted as special U.S. tax counsel to Geac, GCI and Cage in connection with the Merger. As such, and for the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have examined, and are relying upon (without any independent investigation or review thereof) the truth and accuracy at all relevant times (including without limitation the Effective Time) of, the statements, covenants, representations, and warranties contained in the following documents (including all exhibits and schedules attached thereto): (a) the Agreement; (b) the Registration Statement; (c) a representation letter from Geac as to certain matters; (d) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Cage and the terms of the preferred stock issued by Cage to CIBC WMC Inc. and Geac Computer Corporation Limited February 6, 2003 Page 2 (e) such other instruments and documents related to the formation, organization, and operation of Geac, GCI and Cage, and related to the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. In connection with rendering this opinion, we have assumed (without any independent investigation or review thereof) that: (a) Original documents submitted to us (including signatures thereto) are authentic, documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original documents, and all such documents have been (or will be by the Effective Time) duly and validly executed and delivered where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof; (b) The representations, warranties, and statements made or agreed to by Geac, GCI, Cage and Extensity, in connection with the Merger, set forth or described in the Agreement (including the exhibits thereto), the representation letter from Geac and the Registration Statement, are true and accurate at all relevant times; (c) All covenants contained in the Agreement (including exhibits thereto) and the Registration Statement are performed without waiver or breach of any material provision thereof; (d) The Merger and the ownership of GCI, Cage and Extensity will be reported by Geac, GCI, Cage and Extensity on their respective United States and Canadian federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the opinion set forth below; (e) Any representation or statement qualified with reference to the "knowledge" or intention of a person is correct without such qualification; and (f) The Registration Statement and the Agreement reflect all the material facts relating to the Merger, Geac, GCI, Cage and Extensity. Based on the above and subject to the limitations, qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that for United States federal income tax purposes if more than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac and GCI is paid in cash as a result of Extensity stockholders failing to elect to receive shares of Geac, the Merger will be treated for United States income tax purposes as a taxable purchase of the stock of Extensity by Geac, and the sale of such stock by the stockholders of Extensity, and not as a "reorganization" as defined in Section 368(a) of the Code, and if less than 20% of the merger consideration paid by Geac and GCI is paid in cash, the Merger should be treated for United States income tax purposes as a taxable purchase of the stock of Extensity by Geac Computer Corporation Limited February 6, 2003 Page 3 Geac and the sale of such stock by the stockholders of Extensity, and not as a "reorganization" as defined in Section 368(a) of the Code. This opinion is limited to the United States federal income tax characterization of the Merger and does not address the various state, local, or non-U.S. tax consequences that may result from the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement. In addition, no opinion is expressed as to any United States federal income tax consequence of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement except as specifically set forth herein. This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the Merger and may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose except as provided below. To the extent that any of the representations, warranties, statements and assumptions material to our opinion and upon which we have relied are not accurate and complete in all material respects at all relevant times, our opinion could be adversely affected and should not be relied upon. Finally, the opinion set forth above is subject to all of the exceptions, conditions, qualifications, limitations, assumptions and caveats set forth in the ABA Legal Opinion Accord. This opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court of law, administrative agency or other governmental body and represents only our judgment as to the likely outcome if the federal income tax consequences of the Merger were properly presented to a court of competent jurisdiction. Our conclusions are based on the Code, existing judicial decisions, administrative regulations and published rulings as in effect on the date hereof. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations will not adversely affect the accuracy of our conclusions. Nevertheless, by rendering this opinion, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any new developments in the application or interpretation of the federal income tax laws.

PREFACE 1.1 Geac has authorized capital consisting of an unlimited number of Common Shares. 1.2 All such issued and outstanding Common Shares are currently listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. 1.3 Geac previously established a plan with formal effect from November 23, 1987 whereby options were to be granted from time to time to Employees to purchase from treasury Common Shares of Geac, all as set forth in an agreement dated January 1, 1988 (hereinafter called "Plan IV"). 1.4 Without termination of Plan IV, Geac desires to establish a new plan whereby options shall be granted to Employees and Directors to purchase Common Shares. 1.5 The Board of Geac determined by resolution dated the 15th day of September, 1992 to create the Geac Stock Option Plan V (hereinafter called the "Plan") and to grant options to Employees to purchase Common Shares. 1.6 The Board amended said Plan as of the 4th day of July, 1996, by changing the number of options in the Plan from a percentage to a fixed number and, accordingly, deleting the reference to an expiry date; all of which changes were made to ensure that the Plan complied with the Toronto Stock Exchange revised policy on Company Share Incentive Arrangements. 1.7 The Board further amended said Plan as of the 10th day of September, 1996, with confirmation of the shareholders, by making Directors of Geac eligible to participate in the Plan. 1.8 The Board further amended said Plan as of the 30th day of October, 1997, with confirmation of the shareholders, by increasing the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance by One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) to Four Million One Hundred and Twenty-Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty (4,122,650) Common Shares (representing fourteen (14%) percent of the issued capital of the Corporation). 1.9 The Plan was further amended by a subdivision of the Common Shares of the Corporation approved by the Shareholders on September 16, 1997, and which subdivision became effective October 31, 1997, thereby increasing the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Eight Million Two Hundred and Forty Five-Thousand Three Hundred (8,245,300) Common Shares. 2 1.10 The Board further amended the Plan on March 10, 1998 to more fully give effect to the shareholder's resolution dated on the 16th day of September, regarding the subdivision of Common Shares. 2.

TIME AND MANNER OF EXERCISE An Employee or Director may exercise any options granted in accordance with this Plan, at any time or times not earlier than the day on which the Board has determined such options shall vest and not later than the day five years thereafter, but in no circumstances later than ten years after the date of grant, by notice in writing to Geac accompanied by a cheque payable to Geac for the full amount of option price. 8. STATUS OF OPTIONS ON TERMINATION 8.1 From and after the date on which a Plan Member ceases to be an Employee or a Director, as the case may be, whether such employment is terminated by Geac or a subsidiary for reasons other than "cause"; a Director is not re-elected; or by the voluntary resignation of the Employee or Director, except as a result of death of the Employee or Director, such Employee or Director shall have ninety days to exercise all options which have theretofore become vested but remain unexercised but shall have no right to exercise options which shall not have vested. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, all options granted under this Plan to an Employee or Director which are not exercised within such ninety days after the day on which the individual ceases to be an Employee or Director shall be terminated, canceled and no longer exercisable by a Plan Member. In the case of termination for "cause" of an Employee, such Employee shall have seven days in place of the ninety days set out above. 8.2 Notwithstanding the above, from and after the date on which a Plan Member ceases to be an Employee or Director only by reason of death, his/her legal personal representative shall have one year from the date of death to exercise all options which have theretofore become vested but remain unexercised. 5 Notwithstanding any other terms regarding the vesting of options, upon death of the Plan Member all options which but for this clause have not vested shall automatically vest.

STATUS OF OPTIONS ON CHANGE OF CONTROL Upon the sale or other disposition of any of the shares of Geac, either by existing shareholders or from Treasury, or upon the sale or other disposition of the assets and business of Geac and/or its subsidiaries, or a substantial portion thereof, or upon the happening of any other event, with the result that there is a change in the "effective control" over Geac and/or its assets and business, all options theretofore granted to Plan Members under this Plan, which are not yet vested, shall vest forthwith and all Plan Members shall have ninety days to exercise all options which have theretofore vested in accordance with the Plan. All such options which are not exercised within such ninety day period shall be terminated, cancelled and no longer exercisable. 10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION The options granted hereunder shall be personal to the Plan Member to whom such are granted and shall not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred or encumbered in any manner whatsoever, except: (a) to the estate of a deceased Plan Member as provided for in Section 8 hereof; or (b) as may be approved by both the Administration Committee and the applicable stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed. 11. ISSUANCE OF SHARES On receipt by Geac of a notice from any Plan Member exercising options granted pursuant to the Plan together with the option price in full, Geac shall issue to the Plan Member the number of Common Shares of Geac, in respect of which options are being exercised, from the authorized but unissued Common Shares of Geac which have been set aside for the exercise of the options granted pursuant to the Plan. The transfer agent and registrar of the Common Shares of Geac will issue to each such shareholder a certificate representing the shares in respect of which an option has been exercised. 12. STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING Geac shall use its best efforts to ensure that all of the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of options granted hereunder shall be listed for trading on one or more stock exchanges. 6 13. CONFIDENTIALITY The Plan Member agrees that all information relating to the affairs of Geac and its subsidiaries, including all information relating to clients and projects undertaken for clients, shall at all times (both during the period he/she is an Employee or Director and at any time thereafter) and for all purposes be held by such Plan Member in a fiduciary capacity and solely for the benefit of Geac. The Employee or Director agrees that during such times he/she will not use for his/her own purpose any such information, or disclose, divulge or communicate orally, in writing or otherwise to any person any such information. 14.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Each Plan Member, by signing an acknowledgment of receipt of a copy of this Plan and in consideration of the grant to him/her of the options herein provided for, confirms that he/she agrees with, and will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan. 16. MISCELLANEOUS 16.1 Time shall be of the essence of this Plan. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada. 16.2 Although this Plan and the options granted hereunder shall not be assignable, this Plan shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors and administrators of the Plan Member and the successors of Geac.

The Corporation or a Subsidiary may withhold from any amounts payable to a Plan Member, either under this Plan, or otherwise, or require a Plan Member to pay, such amounts as may be necessary, so as to ensure that the Corporation or the Subsidiary will be able to comply with applicable law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions relating to the Plan Member's participation in the Plan. The Corporation shall also have the right in its discretion to satisfy any such withholding tax liability by retaining or acquiring any Employee Shares which would otherwise be provided to a Plan Member hereunder. 10 14.5 Notwithstanding subsection 14.4 above, a Plan Member shall be fully responsible and liable for reporting for tax purposes in respect of his participation in the Plan and the payment of any tax relating thereto. 14.6 Neither the Corporation nor the Administrator shall be liable to any Plan Member or any person claiming through a Plan Member for any loss or failure to achieve a gain resulting from: (a) any change in the market value of any Employee Shares purchased by a Plan Member pursuant to the Plan; (b) any change in the market price of the Common Shares between any time payroll deductions are made from a Plan Member's payroll and the time a purchase of Common Shares using the amounts so deducted takes place; (c) any change in the market price of the Common Shares between the time the issuance of Common Shares under the Plan is suspended in accordance with paragraph 12.3(b) herein and the time the Common Shares of which issuance has been suspended are issued; or (d) any change in the market price of the Common Shares between the Purchase Date on which a Plan Member purchases Employee Shares under the Plan and the date the Plan Member receives the share certificate(s) representing the Employee Shares he has purchased on that Purchase Date. 15.

SECTION 1.01 LEASED PREMISES The approximate location of the Leased Premises to be completed in accordance with Schedule "C" attached hereto is shown outlined in red on the Floor Plan attached as Schedule "B". The parties acknowledge and agree that the Usable Area of the Leased Premises is twenty-four thousand four hundred and twenty-seven (24,427.00) square feet and the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises is twenty-five thousand two hundred and eighty-six (25,286) square feet, as certified by the Architect in accordance with Schedule "D" which certificate is dated January 23, 1989, and attached hereto as Appendix "B". The Leased Premises exclude any part of the exterior face of the building. SECTION 1.02 USE OF ADDITIONAL AREAS The Tenant's use of the Leased Premises includes the non-exclusive right of the Tenant and persons having business with the Tenant in common with the Landlord and all others entitled, to the use of those common Areas and Facilities of the Building as are required incidental to the Tenant's business operations. -2- SECTION 1.03 GRANT AND TERM The Tenant shall, subject to the other provisions of this Lease, have and hold the Leased Premises during the term (the "Term"), which is the period of ten (10) years commencing on May 1, 1989 (the "Commencement Date") and expiring on April 30, 1999. SECTION 1.04 RENT FREE PERIOD Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Tenant shall be entitled to occupy the Leased Premises without any obligation to pay Basic Rent: (a) during the period from and including the day the Tenant is given possession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord to complete Tenant's Work, to and including August 31, 1989, (b) during the period from and including February 1, 1991, to and including April 30, 1991, (c) during the period from and including February 1, 1992, to and including April 30, 1992, and (d) during the period from and including February 1, 1993, to and including April 30, 1993, (collectively the "Rent Free Period") provided that during the Rent Free Period the Tenant shall be bound by all of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease including, without limitation, all provisions relating to payment of Additional Rent and the requirements for insurance pursuant to Article VII and the indemnification of the Landlord for the acts and omissions of the Tenant during the Rent Free Period. SECTION 1.05 CONSTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES (a) The Landlord will complete the work designated as "the Landlord's Work' in accordance with Schedule "C". (b) The Tenant will complete the work designated as "the Tenant's Work" in accordance with Schedule "C", and will pay, as any charges specified in that Schedule. (c) The Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) give the Tenant seven (7) days' prior written notice of the date upon which possession of the Leased Premises will be available to the Tenant (in common with the Landlord and the Landlord's contractors and employees) with the Landlord's Work (as set out in Schedule "C") being substantially completed or completed to an extent that the Tenant's Work can be performed in conjunction with the Landlord's Work. The Tenant will examine the Leased Premises before taking possession and unless the Tenant furnishes the Landlord with written notice specifying any defects within ten (10) days after taking possession, the Tenant will be deemed to have examined the Leased Premises and to have agreed that they are in good order. There is no promise, representation or undertaking by or binding upon the Landlord with respect to any alteration, remodelling or redecorating of or -3- installation of equipment or fixtures in the Leased Premises, unless expressly set forth in this Lease. (d) For greater certainty, during the Rent Free Period, the Tenant will be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease (including the payment of all insurance, electricity, water, temporary heat, security, refuse removal and other utilities and services furnished to the Tenant or its contractors by the Landlord or others, and all other Additional Rent) except those requiring payment of Basic Rent. (e) In the event of a dispute as to (i) completion of the Landlord's Work, or (ii) the availability of the Leased Premises for possession by the Tenant, or (iii) the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises, or (iv) the Usable Area of the Leased Premises, a certificate of the Landlord's Architect will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. (f) The Commencement Date will be postponed (and this postponement will be accepted by the Tenant as full compensation) if there is a delay which results in the Building or the Landlord's Work not being completed on schedule. In the event that the Commencement Date is postponed as hereinbefore contemplated then all relevant dates including relevant dates for the performance of obligations by the Landlord and the Tenant and the date of expiration of the Term, shall also be delayed by an equivalent amount of time. SECTION 1.06 OPTION TO RENEW So long as the Tenant and occupant of the Leased Premises is GEAC CANADA LIMITED and provided the Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, the Landlord will grant to the Tenant the option to extend the Term of this Lease for a further period of five (5) years, on an "as is" basis upon the same terms and conditions as set out in this Lease, except: (i) for Landlord's Work and payment of any allowance to the Tenant, (ii) for the provisions of Section 14.16 herein, (iii) that there shall be no further right of renewal, (iv) that the Tenant shall enter into documentation prepared by the Landlord to give effect to any such renewal, and (v) for the Basic Rent to be paid by the Tenant which shall be the Landlord's posted rental rate for premises in the Building comparable to the Leased Premises, but shall in no event be less than the fixed minimum annual rental payable during the last year of the original Term of this Lease. In order to validly exercise the forgoing option to renew, the Tenant shall give the Landlord at least six (6) months written notice prior to the expiration of the original Term of the Lease of its intention to so renew the term of this Lease, and otherwise such option to renew shall be null and void. If the Tenant gives the appropriate notice within the time limit set out -4- herein for renewing the term of the Lease, it will forthwith execute the documentation submitted by the Landlord pursuant to Section 1.06 above. ARTICLE II RENT SECTION 2.01 COVENANT TO PAY The Tenant covenants with the Landlord: (a) To pay Basic Rent, and (b) To pay, as Additional Rent, it's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Operating Costs in accordance with the provisions of Article III herein, all costs and expenses with respect to Utilities as more particularly set out in Article V; the cost of Landlord's services, if applicable, as more particularly set out in Section 4.02 herein; and any other costs and expenses as hereinafter set forth. SECTION 2.02 BASIC RENT The Tenant will, subject to the provisions of Section 1.04 herein, throughout the Term pay to the Landlord as Basic Rent an annual sum: (a) during the period from and including September 1, 1989, to and including May 31, 1990, based upon an annual rate of Thirteen Dollars ($13.00) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises; (b) during the period from and including June 1, 1990, to and including May 31, 1991, based upon an annual rate of Fourteen Dollars ($14.00) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises; (c) during the period from and including June 1, 1991, to and including May 31, 1994, based upon an annual rate of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises; and (d) during the period from and including June 1, 1994, to and including May 31, 1999, based upon an annual rate of Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises, payable in consecutive monthly instalments each in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the aforesaid periods of time. Basic Rent will be prorated on a daily basis for any fractional month period at the beginning or end of the Term. When the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises is calculated by the Landlord, the Basic Rent will if necessary, be adjusted accordingly. The Tenant will deliver to the Landlord at the beginning of each Rental Year throughout the Term, a series of monthly postdated cheques for such Rental Year for the -5- aggregate of the monthly payments of Basic Rent and of any payments of Additional. Rent estimated by the Landlord and any payments required by this Lease to be paid monthly in advance. SECTION 2.03 SECURITY DEPOSIT The Tenant has deposited with the Landlord's agent, Royal LePage Commercial Real Estate Services, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the "Deposit"), in an interest bearing trust account, and which shall be applied on account of all Rent, including Basic Rent and all Additional Rent, payable by the Tenant for the first months of the Term. SECTION 2.04 RENT PAST DUE If the Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other amount payable by the Tenant under this Lease, such unpaid amounts bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment in full at a rate per annum which is five (5) percentage points in excess of the minimum lending rate to prime commercial borrowers current at such time charged by any Canadian chartered bank designated by the Landlord from time to time. SECTION 2.05 NET LEASE This Lease is a completely net lease to the Landlord. Except as stated in this Lease, the Landlord is not responsible for costs, charges, or expenses relating to the Leased Premises, their use and occupancy, their contents, or the business carried on in them, and the Tenant will pay the charges, impositions, costs and expenses relating to the Leased Premises except as stated in this Lease. This Section will not be interpreted to make the Tenant responsible for ground rentals that may be payable by the Landlord, payments to Mortgagees or, subject to Article III, the Landlord's inane taxes. Capital Tax as defined in Section 3.05(b) is not considered as income tax. ARTICLE III TAXES AND OPERATING COSTS SECTION 3.01 TAXES PAYABLE BY THE LANDLORD The Landlord will, subject to Section 3.02, pay directly to the taxing authority all Taxes for the Building and the Lands. The Landlord may, nevertheless, defer payment of Taxes to the fullest extent permitted by law, so long as it diligently prosecutes any contest or appeal of Taxes. SECTION 3.02 TAXES PAYABLE BY THE TENANT (a) The Tenant will pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent, in accordance with Section 3.06, its Proportionate Share of all Taxes which are levied or assessed against or in relation to the Building and the Lands. -6- (b) If the Landlord, acting equitably, determines that as a result of the construction or installation of improvements in the Leased Premises, the use of the Leased Premises or the particular location of the Leased Premises within the Building, the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes does not accurately reflect the proper share of Taxes which should, in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, be payable by the Tenant, then the Landlord may, acting equitably and reasonably, increase or decrease the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes having regard, to the extent possible, to the assessment principles and methods properly employed by the assessment authority having jurisdiction and the Tenant will pay such adjusted amount rather than the Tenant's Proportionate Share as set out in Section 3.02(a). (c) If there is a separate tax bill and assessment for Taxes for the Leased Premises and the non-leaseable areas of the Building and the lands, the Tenant will, if the Landlord requests, in lieu of paying its Proportionate Share, pay all Taxes specified by that separate bill and assessment for Taxes for the Leased Premises and in accordance with Section 3.06, its Proportionate share of all Taxes which are levied or assessed against or in relation to the Building and the lands excluding all portions thereof designated or intended by the Landlord to be leased to tenants. SECTION 3.03 BUSINESS TAXES AND OTHER TAXES OF THE TENANT The Tenant will pay to the lawful taxing authorities, or to the Landlord, as the Landlord directs, all business taxes, personal property taxes, license fees or other similar rates and assessments levied or assessed against or in relation to the Tenant's business, assets and improvements in the Leased Premises or those of any other Person occupying the Leased Premises (collectively, "Business Taxes"). Business Taxes include all such taxes, fees, rates and assessments which may in the future be levied against the Landlord on account of its ownership of or interest in the Building to the extent that the Landlord is assessed for such Business Taxes in lieu of same being levied or assessed against the Tenant. SECTION 3.04 TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY The Tenant will deliver to the Landlord: (a) receipts for the payment of all Business Taxes; (b) notices of any assessments of Business Taxes; and (c) any additional information in connection with Business Taxes which the Landlord reasonably requests; in each case, within five (5) days after request by the Landlord. In addition, the Tenant will deliver to the Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the last day permitted for filing an appeal, notice of any appeal or contestation which the Tenant intends to institute with respect to Taxes or Business Taxes, and the Tenant will consult with the Landlord and obtain the prior written approval of the Landlord with respect to any appeal or contestation. If the Tenant obtains such approval, the Tenant will deliver to the Landlord such security for the payment of Taxes and Business Taxes as the Landlord deems advisable and the Tenant will diligently prosecute any such appeal or contestation to a speedy resolution and will keep the Landlord informed of his progress in that regard, from time to time. The Tenant will indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from and against the payment of all losses, costs, charges and expenses, including any increase in Taxes or Business Taxes relating to the Leased Premises or the Building, which arise directly or indirectly -7- out of any appeal or contestation by the Tenant. The Tenant will deliver to the Landlord such security for any increase in Taxes and Business Taxes as the Landlord deems advisable. SECTION 3.05 TENANTS PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF OPERATING COSTS (a) The Tenant will pay, in accordance with Section 3.06, the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. Operating Costs include, without limitation and without duplication, the aggregate of: (i) the total annual costs and expenses of insuring the Lands, the Building and the improvements and equipment and other property servicing the Building from time to time, owned or operated by the Landlord or for which the Landlord is legally liable, in such manner and form, with such companies and such coverage (including, without limitation, insurance covering loss of insurable gross profits) and in such amounts as the Landlord, or the Mortgagee, from time to time determines: (ii) cleaning (including window cleaning), snow removal, garbage and waste collection and disposal, including those costs referred to in Section 4.02(c), and the costs of security and supervision; (iii) the aggregate of the costs and amounts paid for (1) all fuel used in heating; (2) all electricity furnished by the Landlord to the Building other than electricity furnished to and paid for by tenants; (3) all hot and cold water other than that chargeable to tenants by reason of their extraordinary consumption of water; (4) heating, air-conditioning and ventilating the Building including individual premises; (5) telephone and other utility costs, used in the maintenance and operation of the Building; and (6) installing energy conservation equipment and safety or life support systems in any portion of the Building; (iv) salaries, wages and other amounts paid or payable for all personnel including the Building manager and related staff, superintendent, operating and maintenance staff, including contributions and premiums towards fringe benefits, unemployment and Workmen's Compensation insurance, pension plan contributions and similar premiums and contributions and the total charges of any independent contractors or managers engaged in the repair, care, maintenance and cleaning of the Building and any portion of the Lands; (v) the cost of the rental of any equipment and the cost of supplies, used by the Landlord in the maintenance and operation of the Building and the Lands; (vi) audit fees and the cost of accounting services incurred in the computation of the rents and charges payable by tenants of the Building; -8- (vii) all repairs (including major repairs) and replacements to and maintenance and operation of the Building, and the systems, facilities and equipment serving the Building; (viii) Capital Taxes, if any, as defined in Paragraph (b) of this Section 3.05 as they relate to or are attributed by the Landlord to the Building and the Lands, provided it is understood that if there is no Capital Tax levied against the Landlord in respect of the Building then the provisions of this subparagraph 3.05(a)(viii) shall not apply until such time as Capital Tax is levied; (ix) depreciation or amortization of (1) the costs and expenses including repair and replacement, of all maintenance and cleaning equipment and master utility meters and all other fixtures, equipment and facilities servicing or comprising the Building (including, without limitation, the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning systems serving the Building) which by their nature, require periodic or substantial repair or replacement, unless, pursuant to Paragraph 3.05(a)(vii), they are charged fully in the Rental Year in which they are incurred, in accordance with sound accounting principles, and (2) the costs of improvements properly charged to capital account which substantially reduce Operating Costs, amortized over their useful life, as determined by the Landlord in accordance with sound accounting principles; (x) interest calculated at 2 percentage points above the average daily prime bank commercial lending rate charged during such Rental Year by the Landlord's chartered bank upon the undepreciated portion of the original cost of all fixtures, equipment and facilities referred to in Paragraph 3.05(a)(ix); (xi) a fee of four percent (4%) of the total annual costs set out in this Section 3.05 for the administration and management of the Building and the Lands. Notwithstanding the Tenant's obligations to pay operating Costs under this Section 3.05, it is understood and agreed that the Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for the following, save and except for damages caused by any wilful act or omissions or negligence on the part of the Tenant: (1) any cost or expense incurred by the Landlord in connection with the original initial construction of the Building, including the initial construction of all structural elements and installation of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system; (2) any cost, expenses, repairs or replacements to the extent necessitated by the inherent structural defects or weaknesses, or faulty construction or design; and (3) any cost and expense which is normally treated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as being of a capital nature -9- (having regard to the usual practice for similar commercial buildings) subject, however, to the Tenant's obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of depreciation and amortization pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ix)x; and (4) any cost or expense incurred in connection with major repairs or replacements to the structural elements of the Building, including the foundations, structural floor, bearing walls supporting or surrounding the Building, or the roof, but specifically excluding the roof membrane, any finished surfaces of the aforesaid structural elements, and any other portions of the structural elements which by their nature require periodic repair and replacement which are not covered by any warranties held by the Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed the Tenant shall be liable for its Proportionate Share of the on-going maintenance, repair and replacement costs incurred by the Landlord in respect of structural elements of the Building insofar as such maintenance, repairs and replacements relate to the general day-to-day upkeep and maintenance of the Building. From the total of the above costs, there is deducted (aa) all net recoveries which reduce Operating Costs received by the Landlord from tenants as a result of any act, omission, default or negligence of such tenants or by reason of a breach by such tenants of provisions in their respective leases (other than recoveries from such tenants under clauses in their respective leases requiring their contribution to Operating Costs); and (bb) net proceeds received by the Landlord from insurance policies taken out by the Landlord to the extent that the proceeds relate to Operating Costs. (b) Capital Tax is an imputed amount presently or hereafter imposed from time to time upon the Landlord or the Owners of the Building and Lands and payable by the Landlord or the owners of the Building and Lands (or by any corporation acting on behalf of the Landlord or the owners) and which is levied or assessed against the Landlord or the owners on account of its ownership of or capital employed in the Building and the Lands. Capital Tax will be imputed as if the amount of such tax were that amount due if the Building and the lands were the only real property of the Landlord and the Owners and Capital Tax includes the amount of any capital or place of business tax levied by the provincial government or other applicable taxing authority against the Landlord with respect to the Building and the Lands whether or not known as Capital Tax or by any other name. (c) The Tenant acknowledges that the Total Rentable Area of the Building may contain a retail commercial area on the ground floor of the Building in addition to the office area of the Building. The Landlord, acting equitably, will adjust the Operating Costs pursuant to this Paragraph in accordance with reasonable and current practices relevant to a multi-use commercial building to include a reasonable proportion of the expenses incurred by or on behalf of retail and other tenants in the Building who, by agreement with the Landlord, or otherwise, -10- have undertaken cleaning, maintenance work or other outlays usually performed by the Landlord to the extent that those expenses if directly carried out by the Landlord would have been included in Operating Costs. It is the intent that office tenants will not be charged unfairly for services the Landlord may provide to any retail tenant which are more costly to perform. SECTION 3.06 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OPERATING COSTS (a) The amounts payable by the Tenant under Sections 3.02 and 3.05 (and Section 3.03, if applicable) may be estimated by the Landlord for such period as the Landlord determines from time to time, and the Tenant agrees to pay the Landlord the Tenant's Proportionate Share as so estimated, of such amounts in monthly instalments in advance during such period as Additional Rent. The Landlord's estimates may be revised from time to time and as soon as the Landlord has received bills for Taxes and Operating Costs, the Landlord may bill the Tenant for the Tenant's Proportionate Share thereof, and the Tenant will pay the amounts billed less all amounts previously paid by the Tenant in accordance with the estimates. (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of the period for which the estimated payments have been made, the Landlord will determine and advise the Tenant of the exact amount of the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Operating Costs, and if necessary, an adjustment will be made between the parties within thirty (30) days after the Tenant has been advised of the actual amounts. ARTICLE IV DEVELOPMENT - CONTROL AND SERVICES SECTION 4.01 CONTROL OF THE BUILDING (a) The Landlord will operate and maintain the Building in such manner as the Landlord determines from time to time, and in a first-class manner as would a prudent Landlord of a similar office building having regard to size, age and location. (b) The Building and the lands are at all times subject to the exclusive control, management and operation of the Landlord. The Landlord has the right, in its control, management and operation of the Building and the Lands, to perform all acts which, in the use of good business judgement, the Landlord determines advisable for the efficient and proper operation of the Building and the Lands. This includes without limitation; (i) obstructing or closing off all or any part of the Building for the purpose of maintenance, repair or construction: (ii) employing all personnel necessary for the operation of the Building. The Tenant acknowledges that the Building may be managed by any Person designated by the Landlord; (iii) constructing other improvements on the Lards and making alterations, additions, subtractions or re-arrangements to the various facilities and improvements -11- comprising the Building or erected on the lands, including building additional storeys and constructing facilities adjoining or proximate to the Building, including parking facilities, underground tunnels and pedestrian walkways and overpasses; and (iv) with the consent of the Tenant, not to be unreasonably withheld, re-locating or re-arranging the Leased Premises from that shown on Schedule "B". The Tennant acknowledges that the sole purpose of Schedule "B" is to show the approximate location of the Leased Premises; (v) do and perform such other acts in and to the Building as in the use of good business judgment, the Landlord determines to be advisable for the more efficient and proper operation of the Building: (vi) control, supervise and regulate any parking facilities which may be used in conjunction with the Building in such manner as the Landlord determines from time to time, including, without limitation, imposing charges or rates as may from time to time be determined by the Landlord for the use of such parking facilities. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, it is understood and agreed that if as a result of the exercise by the Landlord of its rights set out in this Section 4.01, the facilities in or improvements to the Building are diminished or altered in any manner whatsoever, or the Leased Premises are relocated or rearranged in any manner whatsoever, the Landlord is not subject to any liability; nor is the Tenant entitled to any compensation diminution or abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent; nor is any alteration; or diminution of the facilities or improvements in or to the Building (including, the Leased Premises) deemed a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease or implied by law. SECTION 4.02 LANDLORD'S SERVICES (a) The Landlord will provide climate control to the Leased Premises during Normal Business Hours to maintain a climate adequate for occupancy. The Landlord will have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply a climate control service when stopped for temporary repairs or maintenance or by strikes or causes beyond the Landlord's reasonable control. The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has installed in the Building a system for the purpose of climate control, which system is designed to heat and cool during normal occupancy of the Leased Premises as general offices on the basis of one (1) person to every one hundred (100) square feet of space on an open floor basis and based on the window shading being fully closed in those offices having exterior windows exposed to the sun, without having regard to the Tenant's specific use or the installation in the Leased Premises of any heat generating equipment. Any use of the Leased Premises not in accordance with the design standards or any arrangement of partitions which interferes with the normal operation of such system may require alterations in the system or ducts. Any of these alterations, if they can be accommodated by the Landlord's equipment, will be made (i) by the Tenant (or, at the Landlord's option, by the Landlord), (ii) in either case, at the Tenant's expense and only with the Landlord's prior written consent, and (iii) in accordance with drawings and specifications and by -12- a contractor first approved in writing by the Landlord. If installation of partitions, equipment or fixtures by or on behalf of the Tenant (other than the partitions installed pursuant to the Landlord's Work as set out in Schedule "C") necessitates the rebalancing of the portion of the climate control equipment installed in the Leased Premises, such work will be performed by the Landlord at the Tenant's expense, together with an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total expenses thereof representing the Landlord's overhead, payable by the Tenant upon demand as Additional Rent. The Tenant acknowledges that one (1) year may be required after the Tenant has fully occupied the Leased Premises in order to properly adjust and balance the climate control system. If the Tenant requests the provision of climate control services to the Leased Premises after Normal Business Hours, the Landlord will provide such services to the Tenant at the Tenant's expense at the rate determined by the Landlord in its sole discretion, having regard to reasonable and current practices relevant to a similar multi-use commercial building, payable by the Tenant upon demand. (b) The Landlord will furnish, except temporarily when repairs are being made, elevator service during Normal Business Hours, in common with others. At least one (1) elevator will be operated at all times after Normal Business Hours. (c) The Landlord shall when reasonably necessary from time to time cause the floors to be swept, the windows to be cleaned and the desks, tables and other furniture of the Tenant to be dusted, all in keeping with a first-class office building. However, with the exception of the obligation to cause such work to be done, the Landlord shall not be responsible for any act or omission or commission on the part of the Persons employed to perform such work and such work shall be done at the Landlord's direction without interference by the Tenant and its servants or employees. (d) The Landlord will make water and electricity available in the normal quantities. If the Tenant's equipment requires utilities in excess of normal quantities, facilities to supply the excess quantities, if available, may, at the Landlord's sole option, be provided by the Landlord at the expense of the Tenant, with this expense payable as Additional Rent subject to the following conditions and provided that: (i) the Landlord's electrical engineer or other consultants determines that such excess facilities are so required by the Tenant's equipment; (ii) it is within the capabilities of the Landlord and the existing structure of the Building to provide such excess utilities; (iii) the Landlord will have the right of refusal to supply such excess utilities if the supplying of additional facilities or utilities stall in any way affect the operation, the aesthetics or the structure of the Building, or in any way reduce the efficiency of existing electricity, water or other utilities supplied to the Building; and -13- (iv) the supplying of such additional facilities will be subject to compliance with all provisions of law including, without limitation, federal and provincial legislative enactments, building by-laws and other governmental or municipal regulations. ARTICLE V UTILITIES SECTION 5.01 CHARGES FOR UTILITIES (a) The Tenant will pay to the Landlord, or as the Landlord otherwise directs, as Additional Rent, the aggregate, without duplication of (except to the extent not separately metered in respect to the Leased Premises and the Tenant is billed directly by the utilities supplier): (i) all electricity, water, steam charges and other utility charges applicable to the Leased Premises on the basis of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises (the "Utilities"); (ii) the cost of any other charges levied or assessed in lieu of or in addition to such Utilities as determined by the Landlord, acting reasonably; and (iii) all costs incurred by the Landlord in determining or allocating the charge for Utilities including, without limitation, professional engineering and consulting fees and an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the total cost of such Utilities. The Landlord will be entitled, acting equitably, to allocate to the Leased Premises an additional charge, as determined by the Landlord or the Landlord's engineer, for the excess supply to, and usage of, water, electricity, steam and other Utilities in the Leased Premises in excess of the standard usage of general office premises in the Building. Charges for Utilities will be paid in equal monthly instalments in advance on the basis of an initial rate determined by the Landlord's engineers. If the public utility rate is increased or decreased during the Term, the charges will be equitably adjusted and the decision of the Landlord, acting reasonably, will be final. The Tenant will, in addition, pay for all costs of supplying Utilities to the Leased Premises after Normal Business Hours as determined by the Landlord's engineers. (b) The Landlord will have the exclusive right to attend to any replacement of electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts in the Leased Premises throughout the Term on the basis determined by the Landlord in accordance with good commercial practice. The Tenant will pay a monthly charge (subject to adjustment based on actual costs) per bulb, tube and ballast on account of the cost of replacement. If the Landlord elects not to relamp and reballast, then the replacement of electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts in the Leased Premises will be undertaken by the Landlord at such time as they actually burn out and after notice from the Tenant that replacement is required. In that event, the cost of replacement and installation will be paid by the Tenant within 5 days after invoicing. (c) The Tenant shall pay for the cost of any metering which the Tenant requests the Landlord to install in the Leased Premises or the Building, or which the Landlord wishes to install in the Building, for the purpose of assisting in determining the consumption of any Utility (including electricity and water) in the Leased Premises or which may be required by the Landlord to measure or estimate any excess usage of electricity, water or other Utility. -14- (d) The Tenant will pay for any costs or expenses in respect of the Leased Premises resulting from use of equipment necessitating a dedicated circuitry or specialized power requirement. ARTICLE VI USE OF THE LEASED PREMISES SECTION 6.01 USE OF THE LEASED PREMISES The Leased Premises will be used solely for the purpose of general offices and training facility, provided such purposes comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and with all applicable laws, by-laws, regulations or other governmental ordinances from time to time in existence. The Tenant acknowledges that it is only one of the many tenants in the Building and accordingly will conduct its business in the Leased Premises in a reputable and first-class manner, and in the best interests of the Building as a whole. Any business, conduct or practice carried on by the Tenant which in the Landlord's reasonable opinion may harm the business or reputation of the Landlord or reflect unfavourably on the Building or its tenants, will be immediately discontinued by the Tenant at the request of the Landlord. SECTION 6.02 QUIET ENJOYMENT If the Tenant pays the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and observes and performs all its terms, covenants and conditions, contained in this Lease, the Tenant will peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the Term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by the Landlord, or any other Person lawfully claiming by, through or under the Landlord, unless otherwise permitted under the terms of this Lease. The Tenant acknowledges that the exercise by the Landlord of any of the rights conferred on the Landlord under this Lease will not be deemed to be a constructive or actual eviction of the Tenant and will not be considered to be a breach of the Landlord's covenant for quiet enjoyment. SECTION 6.03 OBSERVANCE OF LAW The Tenant will, at its expense, and subject to Section 8.02: (a) comply with all provisions of law including, without limitation, all statutes, regulations, by-laws, ordinances and other requirements of municipal, provincial, federal and other governmental bodies, agencies or departments, which now or hereafter pertain to or affect the Leased Premises or require or govern the making of any repairs, alterations, improvements or other changes of or to the Leased Premises or the Tenant's use of it; (b) obtain all necessary permits, licenses and approvals relating to the use of the Leased Premises and the conduct of business therein, including, without limitation, those required under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and The investment Canada Act (Canada); and -15- (c) carry out all modifications, alterations or changes of or to the Leased Premises and the Tenant's conduct of business in or use of the Leased Premises which are required by any such authorities as set out herein; (d) co-operate with the Landlord in, and comply with the Landlord's requests and with all laws, by-laws, regulations and orders relating to, the conservation of all forms of energy serving the Building.

If the Tenant is in default of any of the forgoing, the Landlord shall have the right to verbally inform the Tenant's manager in the Leased Premises thereof, whereupon the Tenant shall forthwith (i) take such steps as are necessary to cure any such default, and (ii) cease selling the offending item or items, as the case may be. Any business, conduct or practice promulgated, carried on or maintained by the Tenant, whether thorough advertising or selling procedures or otherwise, which in the opinion of the Landlord, acting reasonably, may harm or tend to harm the business or reputation of the Landlord or reflect unfavourably on the Building, the Landlord or other tenants in the Building, or which may tend to confuse, mislead, deceive or be fraudulent to the public, shall be immediately discontinued by the Tenant at the request of the Landlord. ARTICLE VII INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY SECTION 7.01 TENANT'S INSURANCE (a) The Tenant will, throughout the Term (and at any other time during which the Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises), at its expense, take out and keep in full force and effect the following insurance: -16- (i) all risks (including flood and earthquake) property insurance, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost (new) of all improvements, equipment and chattels in or serving the Leased Premises or for which the Tenant is legally liable; (ii) extra expense insurance in such amount as will reimburse the Tenant for loss attributable to all perils insured against in Section 7.01(a)(i) inclining prevention of access to the Leased Premises or the Building as a result of such perils; (iii) if applicable, broad form boiler and machinery insurance on a blanket repair and replacement basis with limits for each accident in an amount of not less than the replacement cost (new) of all leasehold improvements and of all boilers, pressure vessels, air-conditioning equipment and miscellaneous electrical apparatus owned or operated by the Tenant or by others (other than the Landlord) on behalf of the Tenant in the Leased Premises, or relating to or serving the Leased Premises; (iv) public liability and property damage insurance, including personal injury liability, blanket contractual liability, employers' liability, occurrence property damage and owners' and contractors' protected insurance coverage, with the coverage to include the activities and operations of the Tenant and any other person on the Leased Premises or performing work for the Tenant and all others for whom the Tenant is in law responsible in any other part of the Building and the Lands. The policies will, (1) be written on a comprehensive basis with inclusive limits of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) for bodily injury to any one or more persons, or property damage, and such higher limits as the Landlord, acting reasonably, or the Mortgagee requires from time to time; and (2) name the Landlord, the Owners and the Mortgagee as insureds and contain severability of interest and cross-liability clauses; (v) broad form Tenant's legal liability insurance for the actual cash value of the Leased Premises, including loss of use thereof; (vi) two million dollars ($2,000,000) inclusive limits automobile liability insurance on a non-owned form including contractual liability, and on an owner's form, covering all licensed vehicles operated by or on behalf of the Tenant; and (vii) any other form of insurance as the Tenant or the Landlord, acting reasonably, or the Mortgagee requires from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would insure. (b) The Tenant's policies will: (i) with respect to leasehold improvements, contain the Mortgagee's standard mortgage clause; -17- (ii) with respect to property and extra expense insurance, name the Landlord as an insured and contain a waiver of any subrogation rights which the Tenant's insurers may have against the Landlord and those for whom the Landlord is in law responsible, whether the damage is caused by the act, omission or negligence of the Landlord or those for whoa the Landlord is in law responsible; (iii) be taken out with insurers reasonably acceptable to the Landlord and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord; (iv) be non-contributing with and apply only as primary and not as excess to any other insurance available to the Landlord, the Owners or the Mortgagee; (v) not be invalidated as respects the interests of the Landlord, the Owners, and the Mortgagee by reason of any breach or violation of any warranties, representations, declarations or conditions contained in the policies; and (vi) contain an undertaking by the insurers to notify the Landlord, the owners, and the mortgagee in writing by registered mail not less than thirty (30) days prior to any cancellation or material change that reduces or restricts the insurance. The Tenant agrees that certificates of insurance on the Landlord's standard form or, if required by the Mortgagee, evidence in the form of notarized, certified copies of the policies signed by the insurers, will be delivered to the Landlord as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance. (c) If there is damage or destruction to the leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises, the Tenant will use the insurance proceeds for the sole purpose of repairing or restoring the leasehold improvements. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Building entitling the Landlord to terminate this Lease under Section 9.02, then, if the Leased Premises have also been damaged or destroyed, the Tenant will forthwith pay the Landlord all of its insurance proceeds relating to the leasehold improvements, and if the Leased Premises have not been damaged or destroyed, the Tenant shall upon demand deliver to the Landlord, in accordance with this Lease, the leasehold improvements and the Leased Premises. In the event that the Tenant's insurance proceeds exceed Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) and the Tenant is obligated in accordance with the terms of this Lease to repair and restore the Premises, and the cost of such repairs and restoration, subject to the approval of the Landlord, acting reasonably, is an amount greater than Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) but less than the Tenant's proceeds, the Tenant shall retain the balance. SECTION 7.02 INCREASE IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS If (a) the occupancy of the Leased Premises; (b) the conduct of business in the Leased Premises; or (c) any acts or omissions of the Tenant in the Building or the Leased Premises causes or results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by the Landlord with respect to the Building, the Tenant will pay the increase in premiums within five (5) days after invoices for additional premiums are rendered by the Landlord. -18- SECTION 7.03 CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE If any insurance policy in respect of the Building is cancelled or threatened by the insurer to be cancelled, or the coverage reduced by the insurer by reason of the use and occupation of the Leased Premises and if the Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction of coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after notice by the Landlord, the Landlord may, at its option, either (a) exercise its rights of re-entry including termination under Article XIII, or (b) at the Tenant's expense, enter upon the Leased Premises and remedy the condition giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation or reduction. SECTION 7.04 LOSS OR DAMAGE None of the Landlord, the Owners, or the Mortgagee is liable for any death or injury arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at, or relating to the Building or the lands or damage to property of the Tenant or of others wherever located, whether or not resulting from (a) the negligence of the Landlord or those for whom it may in law be responsible, (b) the exercise by the Landlord of any of its rights under this Lease, or (c) by Landlord's failure to supply any services, facilities or utilities required by this Lease. This exculpation of the Landlord from liability extends to and includes all damages, direct, indirect or consequential, damages for personal discomfort, illness or inconvenience, and any death, injury or damage to property or other loss resulting from any cause, including without limitation, fire, explosion, falling plaster, falling ceiling tile, falling ceiling fixtures and diffuser coverings, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, flood, snow or leaks from any part of the Building, including pipes, sprinklers, appliances, plumbing works, roofs, windows or the sub-surface of any floor or ceiling of the Building or from any lands adjoining the Building. The intent of this Section is that the Tenant (and all other Persons having business with the Tenant) is to look solely to its insurers to satisfy any claim which may arise on account of death, injury, loss or damage, irrespective of its cause, except with respect to any inherent structural defects or weaknesses. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.04 to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Landlord is liable for any such death or injury or any such damage to property referred to in this Section 7.04 if any such death or injury or any such damage to property is caused by or to the extent contributed to by the wilful acts or negligence of the Landlord, but only to the extent that (1)(i) the Tenant is not required to have insurance coverage pursuant to Section 7.01(a) of this Lease; and (ii) the Tenant does not otherwise have insurance coverage for any such death or injury or any such damage to property: in any case without taking into account any deductible or co-insurance provisions or clauses; and (2) the Landlord is indemnified by its insurers for any such death or injury or any such damage to property. SECTION 7.05 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE The Landlord shall at all times throughout the Term carry: (i) insurance on the Building (including the foundations and excavations) and the equipment contained in or servicing the Building and owned by the Landlord, or the owners (specifically excluding any -19- property with respect to which the Tenant and other tenants are obliged to insure pursuant to Section 7.01 or similar sections of their respective leases) against damage by "All Risks"' perils, and comprehensive boiler and machinery coverage in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductions as would be carried by a prudent owner of a reasonably similar office building, having regard to size, age and location: (ii) public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the Landlord's operations in the Building: and (iii) other forms of insurance considered advisable by the Landlord, the Owners and the Mortgagee, in each case, in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductions as would be carried by a prudent owner of a reasonably similar office building. Notwithstanding the Landlord's covenant contained in this Section 7.05 and notwithstanding the Tenant's contribution to the cost of the Landlord's insurance premiums, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees (1) the Tenant is not relieved of any liability arising from or contributed to by its negligence or its wilful acts or omissions, (2) no insurable interest or other benefit (including an implied waiver of subrogation from the Landlord's insurers) is conferred upon the Tenant under the Landlord's insurance policies, and (3) the Tenant has no right to receive proceeds from the Landlord's insurance policies. The Landlord's policies will contain a waiver of any subrogation rights which the Landlord's insurers may have against the Tenant and those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, whether the damage is caused by the act, omission or negligence of the Tenant or those the Tenant is in law responsible, for that portion of any claim in excess of the greater of (i) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or (ii) the limits of insurance in the comprehensive general liability policy actually carried by the Tenant. The foregoing waiver of subrogation rights does not apply, however, to damage arising from the wilful or grossly negligent acts of the Tenant. SECTION 7.06 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE LANDLORD Notwithstanding any other terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, the Tenant will indemnify the Landlord and save it harmless from and against all loss (including loss of rentals), claims, actions, damages, costs, liability and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury, damage to property (including any portion of the Building and its equipment, machinery, services and improvements) or any other loss or injury whatsoever arising from or out of this Lease, or any occurrence in the Leased Premises, or the Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises or the Building, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of the Tenant or by anyone permitted to be on the Leased Premises or the Building by the Tenant. If the Landlord is, without fault on its part, made a party to any litigation commenced by or against the Tenant, then the Tenant will protect, indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless and pay all expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred or paid by the Landlord in connection with the litigation. The Tenant will also pay all costs, expenses and legal fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) that may be incurred or paid by the Landlord in enforcing the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease. -20- ARTICLE VIII MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS SECTION 8.01 MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS BY THE TENANT (a) The Tenant will at all times, at its expense, maintain the whole of the Leased Premises including without limitation, all interior partitions, signs, doors, fixtures, shelves, equipment and appurtenances thereof and improvements thereto, including without limitation, electrical, lighting, wiring, plumbing fixtures and equipment and the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems and equipment within or exclusively serving the Leased Premises in good order, first-class condition and repair excluding performance of the repairs or replacements required to the structural elements of the Leased Premises which are the responsibility of the Landlord pursuant to Section 8.03 herein (which shall include, without limitation, periodic painting and decoration), as determined by the Landlord, and the Tenant will make all needed repairs and replacements with due diligence and dispatch. (b) The Tenant will leave the Leased Premises in a reasonably tidy condition at the end of each Business Day in order that the Landlord's cleaning services can be performed. (c) The Tenant will pay for the cost of replacement of glass broken on the Leased Premises including outside windows and doors of the perimeter of the Leased Premises. (d) At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Tenant will surrender the Leased Premises to the Landlord in as good a condition as the Tenant is required to maintain them throughout the Term. SECTION 8.02 LANDLORD'S APPROVAL OF THE TENANT'S REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS The Tenant will not make any repairs, alterations, replacements, decorations or improvements ("Alterations") to any part of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the Landlord's written approval. The Tenant will submit to the Landlord: (a) details of the proposed work including professionally prepared drawings and specifications, (b) any indemnification against liens which the Landlord reasonably requires; and (c) evidence satisfactory to the Landlord that the Tenant has obtained, at its expense, all necessary consents, permits, licenses and inspections from all governmental and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. All Alterations will be performed: (i) at the Tenant's expense; (ii) by competent workmen whose labour union affiliations are compatible with others employed by the Landlord and its contractors; (iii) in a good and workmanlike manner; (iv) in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord; and (v) subject to the reasonable regulations, controls and inspection of the Landlord. Any Alterations made by the Tenant without the prior consent of the Landlord or not made in accordance with the drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord will, if requested by the Landlord, be promptly removed by the Tenant at the Tenant's expense and the Leased Premises restored to their previous condition. Failing such removal, the Landlord will be entitled to remove any Alterations forthwith without notice and at the Tenant's expense. In any -21- event, no Alterations may be permitted if the Landlord determines that they may weaken or endanger the structure of the Building, adversely affect the condition or operation of or diminish the value of the Building, affect the Landlord's coverage for zoning purposes or cause the Landlord to buy out or provide additional parking spaces. If however, the proposed Alterations or any of them affect any part of the structure of the Building or any of the electrical, mechanical or other base building systems, the Alterations (or the appropriate portion of them) will be performed only by the Landlord, at the Tenant's expense, and the Tenant will promptly reimburse the Landlord for the cost of the Alterations (including architectural and other consulting fees) plus 15% of the total cost representing the Landlord's overhead. SECTION 8.03 MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS BY THE LANDLORD (a) The Landlord will, subject to Section 8.01 and Article IX, maintain and repair the structure of the Building, including, without limitation, the foundations, exterior wall assemblies including weather walls, sub-floor, roof, bearing walls, and structural columns and beams of the Building and the mechanical, electrical and other base building systems of the Building, as would a prudent owner of a similar office building. The cost of this will be included in Operating Costs. However, if the Landlord is required, due to the business carried on by the Tenant, to make structural repairs or replacements by reason of the application of laws, ordinances or other regulations of any governmental body, or by reason of any act, omission or default of the Tenant or those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, then the Tenant will be liable for the total cost of those repairs or replacements plus 15% of the total cost representing the Landlord's overhead. (b) The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, as amended, the Landlord is not liable for any damages, direct, indirect or consequential, or for damages for personal discomfort, illness or inconvenience of the Tenant or the Tenant's servants, clerks, employees, invitees or other Persons by reason of (i) the failure, cessation or interruption of any Utilities, equipment, facilities or systems servicing the Building or the Leased Premises, (whether or not supplied by the Landlord others), or (ii) reasonable delays in the performance of any repairs, replacements and maintenance for which the Landlord is responsible pursuant to this Lease. The Landlord covenants and agrees to complete any of its work as expeditiously as possible in the circumstances. (c) If the Tenant refuses or neglects to carry out any repairs as required pursuant to Section 8.01, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord, the Landlord may, but will not be obliged to, make such repairs without being liable for any loss or damage that may result to the Tenant's equipment, fixtures or other property or to the Tenant's business by reason thereof, and upon completion, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand, the Landlord's costs relating to any such repairs and a sum equal to 15% thereof representing the Landlord's overhead. (d) If any elevator servicing the Building or if any mechanical or base building equipment, facilities or systems are damaged or destroyed or are in need of repair, the Landlord -22- will have a reasonable time in which to make the required repairs or replacements necessary for the resumption of the services to the Leased Premises (to the extent of the Landlord's obligations under this Lease), and the Tenant is not entitled to any compensation or damages, but if any of the foregoing items had became impaired, damaged or destroyed in any of the circumstances referred to in section 8.03(c), then the Tenant will be responsible for the cost of repairing, restoring, or making good the damage in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03(c). (e) If the Building or any part of it, or any equipment, machinery, facilities or improvements of the Building, or the roof or outside walls of the Building or any other structural portions of the Building require repair or replacement or become damaged or destroyed through the negligence, carelessness, misuse or other act of the Tenant or those for whom the Tenant is in law responsible, or by any Person having business with the Tenant, or by the Tenant or those for whom it is in law responsible in any way stopping up or damaging the climate control, heating apparatus, water pipes, drainage pipes or other equipment or facilities or parts of the Building, then the cost of the resulting repairs, replacements, or alterations plus a sum equal to 15% of the cost will be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord upon demand after presentation of an account. (f) If any equipment installed by the Tenant requires additional utility, electrical or mechanical facilities, the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, if they are available, elect to install them at the Tenant's expense and in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved in advance in writing by the Landlord. SECTION 8.04 REMOVAL AND RESTORATION BY THE TENANT (a) All alterations, decorations, additions and improvements made by the Tenant, or made by the Landlord on the Tenant's behalf (other than the Tenant's trade fixtures) immediately become the property of the Landlord upon affixation or installation, without compensation therefor to the Tenant, and will not be removed from the Leased Premises at any time unless permitted or required by the Landlord. The Landlord is under no obligation to repair, maintain or insure these alterations, decorations, additions or improvements. The Tenant will, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, at its cost, remove those leasehold improvements and fixtures which the Landlord requires the Tenant to remove and will make good any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building resulting from their installation or removal. (b) The Tenant may during the Term in the normal course of its business and with the prior written consent of the Landlord remove its trade fixtures, but only if they have become excess for the Tenant's purposes or the Tenant is substituting new and similar trade fixtures, and in each case, only when the Tenant is not in default under the Terms of this Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Tenant will, at its own cast, remove all of its trade fixtures and will make good any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building caused as a result of their installation or removal. If the Tenant does not remove its trade fixtures at the end or earlier termination of the Term, the trade fixtures will, at the Landlord's option, become the property of the Landlord and may be removed from the Leased Premises and sold or disposed of by the Landlord in such manner as it deems advisable. -23- (c) For greater certainty, the Tenant's trade fixtures exclude: (i) heating, ventilating or air-conditioning systems, facilities and equipment; (ii) floor covering affixed to the floor of the Leased Premises; (iii) light fixtures; (iv) internal stairways and doors, if any; and (v) any fixtures, facilities, equipment or installations installed by or at the expense of the Landlord pursuant to Schedule "C"; all of which are deemed to be leasehold improvements. SECTION 8.05 TENANT TO DISCHARGE ALL LIENS The Tenant shall promptly pay all of its contractors and others supplying materials or performing work on its behalf in respect of the Leased Premises and will do all things necessary to ensure that no lien is registered against the Lands, Building or the Tenant's leasehold interest. If any construction or similar lien is made, filed or registered against title to the Lands (or part of it), the Building or against the Tenant's leasehold interest, as a result of any work, materials or services supplied or performed by or on behalf of the Tenant or otherwise in respect of the Leased Premises, the Tenant will discharge it forthwith at the Tenant's expense. If the Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord, the Landlord may elect to discharge the lien by paying the amount claimed to be due, and any additional amounts as may be required at law or otherwise, into Court or directly to the lien claimant and the amount paid by the Landlord and all costs and expenses including all solicitor's fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) incurred as a result of the lien including without limitation procuring its discharge will be immediately paid by the Tenant to the Landlord. SECTION 8.06 SIGNS AND ADVERTISING The Tenant will not place or permit any notice, lettering or other signage on any part of the outside of the Building or the Leased Premises or anywhere in the interior of the Leased Premises which is visible from the outside of the Building or the Leased Premises. The Landlord will prescribe a uniform pattern of identification signs for tenants in accordance with the Landlord's design criteria for the Building which shall be placed by the Landlord at the Tenant's expense on the outside of either the interior walls or doors leading into the Leased Premises. The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord is member of the Valleywood Business Park and is bound by certain covenants with the Valleywood Business Park including the requirement that all signage either on the outside of the Building, or on the Common Elements and Facilities of the Building, or visible from the outside of the Building, is subject to the prior written approval of the Valleywood Business Park. So long as the Tenant and occupant of the Leased Premises is GEAC CANADA LIMITED and the Tenant leases as at the commencement of Tenant's Work (as defined under schedule "C" attached hereto) a minimum of Twenty-One Thousand (21,000) square feet, then, if permitted by the Valleywood Business Park and the governmental authorities having jurisdiction, it being understood and agreed that the Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain any approvals necessary for such signage from the Valleywood Business Park, the Tenant shall be entitled to identification of its tenancy on the outside facia of the Building so long as such signage shall be installed; (a) subject to the prior written approval of the Valleywood Business Park, (b) subject to the Tenant obtaining at its -24- expense, all necessary consents, permits and inspections from all municipal and other applicable governmental authorities having jurisdiction, (c) at the sole cost of the Tenant, (d) in a good and workmanlike manner of materials and in a method of installation approved by the Landlord, in writing, (e) in a location and of a size and design approved by the Landlord and the Valleywood Business Park, in writing, (f) in accordance with drawings and specifications approved by the Landlord and the Valleywood Business Park, in writing, and (g) such signage shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.06 and Schedule "C" attached to this Lease, where applicable. It is further understood and agreed that the Tenant shall be responsible for the on-going operation, insurance, maintenance and repair of any such signage at its sole cost and expense and that the Tenant shall abide by the rules and regulations of the Valleywood Business Park and any governmental authorities having jurisdiction with respect to same. The Landlord may require, at its sole option, that all maintenance and repair to be done in respect of any such signage by the Tenant will be carried out by the Landlord's contractors and employees at the Tenant's expense and repayable by the Tenant to the Landlord as Additional Rent with the next monthly instalment of Basic Rent coming due. If requested by the Landlord, the Tenant shall enter into an agreement, as prepared by the Landlord at the Tenant's expense, to document further the terms and conditions of its exterior signage permitted in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.06. At the expiration of this Lease, the Landlord, or the Tenant, at the Landlord's request, will remove all signs installed by or on behalf of the Tenant and all pictures, advertisements, notices, letterings or decorations from the Leased Premises, at the Tenant's expense and the Tenant will promptly repair all damage caused by their installation and removal. ARTICLE IX DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION SECTION 9.01 DESTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES (a) If the Leased Premises are destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or other casualty required to be insured against by the Landlord pursuant to Section 7.05 or otherwise insured against by the Landlord and not caused by the Tenant, and if as a result of such occurrence: (i) the Leased Premises are rendered wholly or partially untenantable, this Lease will continue in full force and effect and the Landlord will commence diligently to restore the Leased Premises to the extent only of the Landlord's Work set out in Schedule "C', and only Basic Rent (but not Additional Rent) will abate entirely or proportionately, as the case may be, to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable from the date of the destruction or damage until the Leased Premises have been restored and rendered tenantable by the Landlord to the extent of its obligations hereunder; (ii) the Leased Premises are not rendered untenantable in whole or in part, this Lease will continue in full force and effect, the Rent and other amounts payable by the -25- Tenant will not abate and the Landlord will commence diligently to restore the Leased Premises to the extent required by this Section 9.01(a). (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.01(a), if the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, and if, in the opinion of the Landlord reasonably arrived at, the Leased Premises cannot be rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the Tenant within 90 days of the damage or destruction, the Landlord, instead of rebuilding or making the Leased Premises fit for the Tenant in accordance with section 9.01(a) may, at its option, elect to terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant, within 30 days after the damage or destruction, notice of termination, and thereupon Rent and any other payments for which the Tenant is liable under this Lease will be apportioned and paid to the date of damage or destruction. (c) Once the Landlord has substantially completed its restoration work, the Tenant will forthwith complete all work required to fully restore the Leased Premises for business. Nothing in this Section 9.01 requires the Landlord to rebuild the Leased Premises in the condition and state that existed before the damage, but the Leased Premises, as re-built, will have reasonably similar facilities and services to those in the Leased Premises prior to the damage. SECTION 9.02 DESTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING (a) Notwithstanding Section 9.01, if 25% or more of the Total Rentable Area of the Building is damaged or destroyed (irrespective of whether the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed) and if, in the opinion of the Landlord reasonably arrived at, the damaged or destroyed parts of the Building cannot be rebuilt or made fit for the purposes of the respective tenants of the space within 90 days of the damage or destruction, then, the Landlord may, at its option (to be exercised by written notice to the Tenant within 60 days following the occurrence), elect to terminate this Lease. In the case of such election, the Term and the tenancy hereby created will expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given, without indemnity or penalty payable by, or any other recourse against, the Landlord, and the Tenant shall, within such thirty (30) day period, vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to the Landlord. Basic Rent and Additional Rent will be payable without reduction or abatement subsequent to the destruction or damage and until the date of termination, unless the Leased Premises has been destroyed or damaged as well, in which event Section 9.01 will apply. (b) If any part of the Building is destroyed or damaged and the Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Landlord will commence diligently to restore that part of the Building damaged or destroyed, but only to the extent of the Landlord's responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the various leases for the premises in the Building, and exclusive of any tenant's responsibilities set out therein. If the Landlord elects to restore the Building, or any part thereof, the Landlord may restore according to plans and specifications and working drawings other than those used in the original construction of the Building. SECTION 9.03 EXPROPRIATION Both the Landlord and the Tenant agree to co-operate with the other regarding an expropriation of the Leased Premises or the Building or any part thereof, so that each may -26- receive the maximum award to which they are respectively entitled at law. To the extent that any portion of the Building other than the Leased Premises is expropriated, then, the full proceeds accruing or awarded as a result will belong to the Landlord and the Tenant will abandon or assign to the Landlord any rights which the Tenant may have or acquire by operation of law to those proceeds or awards and will execute all such documents as in the opinion of the Landlord are necessary to give effect to this intention. ARTICLE X TRANSFER AND SALE SECTION 10.01 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (a) The Tenant will not: (i) assign this Lease, (ii) sublet, share or part with possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises, nor (iii) mortgage or encumber this Lease or the Leased Premises, to or in favour of any Person (collectively, a "Transfer") without the prior written consent of the Landlord and the owners which consent will not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld or delayed. However, notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary, it will not be considered unreasonable for the Landlord and the Owners to take into account the following factors in deciding whether to grant or withhold its consent: (1) whether any such Transfer violates or breaches is contrary any covenants or restrictions granted by the Landlord to other existing or prospective tenants or occupants of the Building or to Mortgagees, the Owners or other parties, regardless of when given; (2) whether in the Landlord's opinion the financial background, business history and capability of the Transferee is satisfactory; (3) whether any such Transferee intends to actually use and occupy the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (4) whether the Tenant is in default under the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. The consent by the Landlord and the Owners to any Transfer will not constitute a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent Transfer. This restriction against a Transfer includes a prohibition against a Transfer by operation of law, including without limitation, an amalgamation. No Transfer will take place by reason of a failure by the Landlord to give notice to the Tenant within thirty (30) days as required by Section 10.01(b) and the Landlord shall be deemed to have withheld its consent to any such Transfer. (b) If the Tenant intends to effect a Transfer, then the Tenant will give prior written notice to the Landlord of such intent, specifying the proposed assignee, subtenant, occupant or other Person taking the Transfer (collectively, a "Transferee") and providing such information with respect thereto including, without limitation, information concerning the principals thereof and as to any credit, financial or business information relating to the proposed Transferee, as the -27- Landlord, the Owners or the Mortgagee require. The Landlord will, within 30 days after having received notice and all necessary information, notify the Tenant in writing that the Landlord and the owners consent or do not consent to the Transfer in accordance with the provisions and qualifications of section 10.01(a), or (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01(a), it elects to cancel this Lease in preference to giving consent. If the request for consent relates to only a part of the Leased Premises, the Landlord's rights to cancel this Lease will relate only to such part and in this event the Tenant will, at its expense, arrange for the partitioning of the Leased Premises so as to separate the part being Transferred froth the remainder of the Leased Premises. If the Landlord elects to cancel this Lease, the Tenant will notify the Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter of the Tenant's intention either to refrain from such Transfer or to accept the cancellation of this Lease. If the Tenant fails to deliver notice within the fifteen (15) day period, this Lease will be terminated upon the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period. If the Tenant advises the Landlord it intends to refrain from such Transfer, the Landlord's election to cancel this Lease will became null and void in such instance. (c) The Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant has leased in excess of its own space requirements for the purpose of subletting a portion of the Leased Premises to dealers of the Tenant for the sauce use permitted under Section 6.01 of this Lease. The Landlord therefore covenants and agrees that so long as the Tenant and occupant of the Leased Premises is GEAC CANADA LIMITED and has not failed or neglected to remedy or commenced to remedy any default or breach of its obligations as set out in this Lease after notice within the times set forth in this Lease, then the Landlord's right to cancel this Lease as provided under this Section 10.01(b) shall not apply and the Tenant shall have the right to sublet a portion of the Leased Premises to a sublessee of the Tenant as aforesaid, upon first obtaining the consent of the Landlord and the Owners, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, based upon the criteria set out in subparagraphs (1) through (4) of Section 10.01(a) and, for greater certainty, all of the other provisions of this Article X shall apply in respect of any such Transfer, except Subsection 10.01(e). (d) If there is a permitted Transfer, the Landlord may collect Rent from the Transferee, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease, but no acceptance by the Landlord of any payments by a Transferee will be a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the Transferee as the Tenant, or a release of the Tenant from the further performance by the Tenant of its covenants or obligations contained in this lease. Any document evidencing the Transfer will be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors, and all legal costs with respect thereto will be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord or its solicitors within five (5) days after demand as Additional Rent. Any consent by the Landlord and the owners will be subject to the Tenant executing and causing the Transferee to promptly execute an agreement directly with the Landlord agreeing (i) to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease as if the Transferee had originally executed this Lease as Tenant; and (ii) to amend the Lease to incorporate such terms, covenants and conditions as are necessary so that the Lease will be in accordance with the Landlord's standard form of office lease in use for the Building at such time. Notwithstanding any Transfer, the Tenant will be jointly and severally liable with the Transferee on this Lease and will not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If the Tenant shall receive from any Transferee of -28- this Lease, either directly or indirectly, any consideration for the Transfer of this lease, either in the form of cash, goods, services or otherwise (excluding any consideration for the Tenant's trade fixtures and business goodwill), the Tenant shall forthwith pay an amount equivalent to such consideration to the Landlord and such consideration shall be deemed to be further Additional Rent hereunder. In the event of any Transfer which is a sublet of the Leased Premises by the Tenant by virtue of which the Tenant receives a rent in the form of cash, goods or services from the Transferee which is greater than the Rent payable hereunder to the Landlord, the Tenant will pay any such excess to the Landlord in addition to all Rent payable under this Lease and such excess rent shall be deemed to be further Additional Rent. (e) If the Tenant receives consent under Section 10.01(a), it will be subject to the condition that the Basic Rent payable by the Transferee to the Landlord will be not less than the greatest of: (i) the Basic Rent payable pursuant to Section 2.02; or (ii) the Landlord's current posted rental rate for Leased Premises in the Building similar to the Leased Premises at the time of the granting of the Landlord's consent; or (iii) an amount equal to the Basic Rent payable pursuant to Section 2.02 increased to equal the amount obtained by multiplying the Basic Rent by a fraction which has its numerator the C.P.I. for the last month immediately preceding any such Transfer and as its denominator the C.P.I. for the month in which the commencement date occurs. The Tenant and the Transferee shall promptly execute an agreement prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors amending Section 2.02 in order to provide for the payment of tine revised Basic Rent during the remainder of the Term or the term of the Transfer, whichever is applicable, and all legal costs with respect thereto will be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord within five (5) days after demand. All of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease stall remain as herein specified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no increase in the Basic Rent in the event of a Transfer permitted in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01(c). SECTION 10.02 NO ADVERTISING OF THE LEASED PREMISES The Tenant will not print, post, display or broadcast any notice of advertisement for the purpose of a Transfer, and it will not permit any broker or other Person to do any of the foregoing, unless the complete text and format of any such notice or advertisement is first approved in writing by the Landlord. In no event, will any text or format proposed by the Tenant contain any reference to the rental rate of the Lease Premises. -29- SECTION 10.03 CORPORATE OWNERSHIP (a) If the Tenant is a corporation or if the Landlord has consented to a Transfer of this Lease to a corporation, any transfer or issue by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition, or by subscription from time to time of all or any part of the corporate shares of the Tenant or of any holding body corporate or subsidiary body corporate of the Tenant or any corporation which is affiliated with the Tenant (as those terms are defined pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act and amendments thereto), which results in any change in the present effective voting control of the Tenant by the person holding such voting control at the date of execution of this Lease (or at the date a Transfer of this Lease to a corporation is permitted) will for the purposes of this Section 10.03, be deemed to be a Transfer and the provisions of Sections 10.01(a) to 10.01(e), inclusive, will apply to a Transfer under this Section 10.03. (b) The Tenant will (i) when requesting consent to a Transfer pursuant to Section 10.03(a), provide the Landlord with such information as to the proposed purchaser as the Landlord requires including, without limitation, information concerning creditworthiness, financial standing and business history; and (ii) make available to the Landlord, or its lawful. representatives, all corporate books and records of the Tenant for inspection at all reasonable times, in order to ascertain whether there has been any change in control of the Tenant. (c) However, this Section 10.03 shall not apply to the Tenant if the Tenant is a public corporation whose shares are traded and listed on any recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States, and so long as the Landlord receives assurances satisfactory to the Landlord that there will be a continuity of management, of the Tenant, and of its business practices and policies, notwithstanding any such Transfer pursuant to section 10.03(a). SECTION 10.04 ASSIGNMENT BY THE LANDLORD If there is a sale, lease or other disposition by the Landlord of the Building and/or the Lands or any part thereof, or the assignment by the Landlord of this Lease or any interest of the Landlord hereunder, and to the extent that the purchaser or assignee assumes the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder, the Landlord will, thereupon and without further agreement, be relieved of all further liability with respect to its covenants and obligations. ARTICLE XI ACCESS AND ALTERATIONS SECTION 11.01 RIGHT OF ENTRY The Landlord and its agents have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times (except in the event of an emergency, when the Landlord can enter at any time) to show them to prospective purchasers, lessees or mortgagees, and to examine them and make repairs, alterations or changes to the Leased Premises or the Building as the Landlord considers necessary including, without limitation, repairs, alterations or changes to the pipes, conduits, wiring, ducts and other installations in the Leased Premises where necessary to serve another -30- part of the Building. For that purpose, the Landlord may take all required material into the Leased Premises and may have access to the underfloor ducts and access panels to mechanical shafts and the Landlord has the right to check, calibrate, adjust and balance controls and other parts of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning. The Rent will not abate while any repairs, alterations or changes are being made due to loss or interruption of the business of the Tenant or otherwise, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, as amended, the Landlord will not be liable for any damage, injury or death caused to any Person, or to the property of the Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of the entry. If the Tenant is not present to permit an entry into the Leased Premises at the time that the entry is necessary, then the Landlord may, in the case of an emergency, forcibly enter the Leased Premises to exercise its rights order this Section. ARTICLE XII STATUS STATEMENT, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION SECTION 12.01 STATUS STATEMENT Within ten (10) days after written request by the Landlord, the Tenant will deliver in a form supplied by the Landlord, a status statement or a certificate (which will be certified by the Tenant to be accurate) to any proposed purchaser, assignee, lessor or mortgagee, or to the Landlord, which will contain such acknowledgements and information as is customarily called for in status statements and estoppel certificates delivered in conjunction with commercial tenancies together with any additional acknowledgements and information as any proposed purchaser, assignee, lessor or mortgagee requires. SECTION 12.02 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT (a) This Lease and the Tenant's rights hereunder are, and will at all times be, subordinate to any and all ground or underlying leases, mortgages, trust deeds, financing, refinancing or collateral financing and the instruments, as well as the charge or lien resulting from, all or any of the foregoing or any renewals or extensions thereof from time to time in existence against the Lands and the Building (or part thereof) (collectively, the "Encumbrances"). Upon request, the Tenant will subordinate this Lease and all of its rights hereunder in such form as the Landlord requires to any Encumbrance and, if requested, the Tenant will attorn to the holder of any such Encumbrance (the "Encumbrancer") or to the Owner. (b) The Tenant will, if possession is taken under, or any proceedings are brought for possession under or the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under, any Encumbrance, attorn to the Encumbrancer or the purchaser upon any such foreclosure, sale or other proceeding and recognize the Encumbrancer or the purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. (c) Upon the written request of the Tenant, the Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain at the Tenant's expense an agreement from the permanent financing Mortgagee(s) of the Building to the effect that upon the execution and delivery by the Tenant to the Landlord of the Lease, if the Tenant shall pay the Rent and comply with all terms and -31- conditions contained in the Lease and attorn to the permanent financing Mortgagee(s), the Tenant shall be permitted to remain in quiet possession of the Leased Premises without interruption or disturbance from the permanent financing Mortgagee(s); or, at the option of the permanent financing Mortgagee(s), shall be entitled to obtain a new lease for the unexpired Term of the Lease, on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease. The Tenant shall (i) promptly execute such documents as may be required by the Landlord to give effect to the foregoing, and (ii) indemnify the Landlord from and against all costs, including legal costs incurred by the Landlord in connection with obtaining and preparing any such documents. SECTION 12.03 ATTORNEY The Tenant will, upon request of the Landlord or any Encumbrancer, execute and deliver promptly any statements, instruments and certificates required to carry out the intent of Sections 12.01 or 12.02. If thirty (30) days after the date of a request by the Landlord, the Tenant has not executed the same, the Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as the Tenant's attorney with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of the Tenant any such statements, instruments or certificates, or the Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease without incurring any liability on account thereof, and the Term hereby granted is expressly limited accordingly. SECTION 12.04 FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Tenant will, upon request from time to time, provide the Landlord with such information as to the Tenant's or the Indemnifier's financial standing and corporate organization as the Landlord or the Mortgagee reasonably requires. ARTICLE XIII DEFAULT SECTION 13.01 RIGHT TO RE-ENTER If and whenever: (a) the Tenant fails to pay any Basic Rent or Additional Rent on the day or dates appointed for payment (provided the Landlord first gives five (5) days' written notice to the Tenant of the Tenant's failure); or (b) the Tenant fails to observe or perform any other of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by the Tenant (other than the terms, covenants or conditions set out below in subparagraph (c) for which no notice shall be required), provided the Landlord first gives the Tenant ten (10) days', or such shorter period of time as is otherwise provided in this Lease, written notice of the Tenant's failure and the Tenant within the 10 day period fails to commence diligently and thereafter to proceed diligently to cure its failure; or -32- (c) the Tenant or any Indemnifier becomes bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any act now or hereafter in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors or files any proposal or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any arrangement or compromise; a receiver or a receiver manager is appointed for all or a portion of the Tenant's or the Indemnifier's property; any steps are taken or any action or proceedings are instituted by the Tenant or by any other party to dissolve, wind-up or liquidate of the Tenant or its assets; the Tenant makes a sale in bulk of its assets on the Leased Premises other than a bulk sale to a permitted Transferee in compliance with the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario); the Tenant abandons the Leased Premises, or sells or disposes of the trade fixtures, goods or chattels of the Tenant or remove them from the Leased Premises so that there would not in the event of such sale or disposal be sufficient trade fixtures, goods or chattels of the Tenant on the Leased Premises subject to distress to satisfy all Rent due or accruing hereunder for a period of at least three (3) months; the Leased Premises become and remain vacant for a period of five (5) consecutive days; the Tenant effects or permits a Transfer without the Landlord's consent where required; this Lease or any of the Tenant's assets are taken under any writ of execution; or re-entry is permitted under any other terms of this Lease, then the Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it, has the immediate right of re-entry upon the Leased Premises and it may repossess the Leased Premises and enjoy them as of its former estate and may expel all Persons and remove all property from the Leased Premises and such property may be removed and sold or disposed of by the Landlord as it deems advisable or may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of the Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without the Landlord being considered guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. SECTION 13.02 RIGHT TO RELET (a) If the Landlord elects to re-enter the Leased Premises, or if it takes possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may without terminating this Lease make any alterations and repairs as are necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises. Upon each reletting all rent received by the Landlord will be applied, first to the payment of any indebtedness other than Basic Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder from the Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of reletting including brokerage fees and solicitor's fees and the costs of alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, will be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes payable hereunder. If the rent received from a reletting during any month is less than that payable by the Tenant under the terms of this Lease, then the Tenant will pay the deficiency in advance on the first day of each month. No re-entry or taking possession of the Leased premises will be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of that intention is given to the Tenant. Notwithstanding any reletting without -33- termination, the Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for the previous breach. (b) If the Landlord terminates this Lease, in addition to other remedies available, it may recover from the Tenant all damages the Landlord incurs by reason of the Tenant's breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, all solicitor's fees (on a solicitor and his client basis) and including the worth at the time of the termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Basic Rent and Additional Rent required to be paid pursuant to this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term over then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the stated Term, all of which amounts will be immediately due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord. On the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 13.01, in addition to all other rights, the full amount of the current month's instalment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent payments for the current month and any other payments required to be made monthly hereunder, together with the next three (3) months' instalments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the next three (3) months, all of which will be deemed to be accruing due on a day-to-day basis, will immediately become due and payable as accelerated rent, and the Landlord may immediately distrain for the same, together with any arrears then unpaid. SECTION 13.03 EXPENSES If legal action is brought for recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, for the recovery of Basic Rent and Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any other of the Tenant's obligations, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, including solicitors fees (on a solicitor and his client basis), unless a court otherwise awards. SECTION 13.04 WAIVER OF EXEMPTION FROM DISTRESS The Tenant agrees that notwithstanding anything contained in Section 30 of the Landlord and the Tenant Act (Ontario), or any statute or provision subsequently passed to take the place of or amend the Act, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant which are on or have at any time been on the Leased Premises will be exempt from levy by distress for Basic Rent or Additional Rent in arrears by the Tenant. SECTION 13.05 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS If the Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent which is payable to third parties, the Landlord, after giving ten (10) days' notice in writing to the Tenant, may, but will not be obligated to, pay all or any part of the same. If the Tenant is in default in the performance of any of its other covenants or obligations under this Lease, including without limitation, (a) the Tenant's insurance obligations under Article VII, and (b) the Tenant's maintenance and repair obligations under Article VIII, the Landlord may, but will not be obligated to, after giving such notice as it considers sufficient (or without notice in the case of an emergency), perform or cause to be performed any of the unperformed covenants or obligations, and if necessary the Landlord will be entitled to enter into the Leased Premises without further notice. All expenses incurred and expenditures made by the Landlord plus a sum equal to 15% representing the Landlord's -34- overhead will be paid by the Tenant as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after demand. If the Tenant is in default in the payment of any amounts or charges comprising Additional Rent, then the amounts will, if not paid when due, be paid to the Landlord within ten (10) days after demand. The Landlord may, at its option, apply or allocate any sums received from or due to the Tenant against any amounts due and payable under this Lease in any manner which the Landlord deems advisable. SECTION 13.06 RENT PAST DUE If the Tenant fails to pay any Basic Rent or Additional Rent when due, the unpaid amounts bear interest from the due date to the date of payment at an annual rate of five (5) percentage points above the minimum lending rate to prime commercial borrowers current at that time charged by the Landlord's chartered bank, calculated and compounded monthly. SECTION 13.07 REMEDIES GENERALLY Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy of the Landlord does not preclude the Landlord from any other remedy, whether available at law or in equity or by statute or expressly provided for in this Lease. No remedy will be exclusive or dependent upon any other remedy, and the Landlord's remedies are cumulative and not alternative. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 14.01 RULES AND REGULATIONS The Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated by the Landlord from time to time including, without limitation, those set out in Schedule "E", are made a part of this Lease as if they were embodied herein, and the Tenant will comply with and observe them as though they were covenants. The Landlord reserves the right from time to time to amend or supplement the Rules and Regulations applicable to the Leased Premises or the Building as in the Landlord's judgment, acting reasonably and in such manner as would a prudent Landlord of a similar office building, are from time to time needed for the safety, care, cleanliness and efficient operation of the Building. Notice of the Rules and Regulations and amendments and supplements, if any, will be given to the Tenant and the Tenant will thereupon comply with and observe them provided that they do not contradict any terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. The Landlord is not under any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations against other tenants and is not responsible if other tenants fail to observe them. SECTION 14.02 INTENT AND INTERPRETATION (a) Net Lease The Tenant acknowledges that it is intended that this Lease is a completely net lease to the Landlord, except as expressly herein set out, that the Landlord is not responsible during the Term for any costs, charges, expenses and outlays of any nature whatsoever arising -35- from or relating to the Leased Premises, or the use and occupancy thereof and the Tenant will pay all charges, impositions, costs and expenses of every nature and kind relating to the Leased Premises except as expressly herein set out.

(e) Partial Invalidity If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is to any extent held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then that term, covenant or condition: (i) is deemed to be independent of the remainder of this Lease and to be severable and divisible therefrom, and its invalidity, unenforceability or illegality does not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of the Lease or any part thereof; and (ii) continues to be applicable to and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law against any Person and circumstances other than those as to which it has been held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or illegal. Neither party is obliged to enforce any term, covenant or condition of this Lease against any Person, if, or to the extent by so doing, such party is caused to be in breach of any laws, rules, regulations or enactments from time to time in force. (f) Entire Agreement This Lease and the Schedules, and Riders, if any, attached together with the rules and Regulations set forth all covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between the Landlord and the Tenant concerning the Leased Premises and there are no other -36- covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them.

The Loan shall be advanced (the "Advance") by the Landlord in progress payments within ten (10) days of receipt from the: Tenant of paid invoices from the Tenant's contractors and/or suppliers so long as: (i) such expenditure by the Tenant is in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Landlord and does not include any chattels, trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory, stock-in-trade, or any items readily removable from the Leased Premises; (ii) any such leasehold improvements and fixturing is completed by contractors or workmen approved by the Landlord, all in accordance with Schedule "C" attached hereto; (iii) the Landlord receives proper invoices paid by the Tenant to its suppliers or contractors for such costs; and (iv) the Tenant has entered into the Personal. Property Security Agreement as more particularly set out in Subsection 14.14(d) herein. The amount of the Advance shall be subject to set-off of any amount owing to the Landlord and to any holdback requirements of the construction Lien Act, 1983, and any other statutes, rules, orders or regulations or any governmental authority having jurisdiction. (b) It is further understood and agreed by the parties that that portion of the Loan remaining unpaid by the Landlord, if any, upon completion and payment by the Tenant of all Tenant's leasehold improvements and fixturing in the Leased Premises, shall be held in trust by the Landlord as a security deposit (the "Security Deposit") for the period ending sixty (60) months later, or such shorter period in the event of termination of the Lease by the Tenant as provided by the terms of Section 14.18 herein (the "Security Deposit Term"). The Security Deposit shall bear interest at the rate of interest equal to one percent (1%) in excess of the Landlord's bankers quoted annual prime lending rate, from time to time, calculated monthly, not in advance, for the Security Deposit Term. The Security Deposit is to be applied as security for the due performance by the Tenant of all covenants and obligations on its part herein contained and the Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to apply any or all of the amount of the Security Deposit to any damage resulting from any default by the Tenant of the covenants and obligations hereunder or towards the payment or reduction of any claim of the Landlord against the Tenant. Upon expiration of the Security Deposit Term, the balance of the Security Deposit then outstanding, including all accrued interest, as aforesaid, will be paid by the Landlord to the Tenant. (c) It is understood and agreed that the Loan represents consideration paid by the Landlord in respect of the improvements to the Leased Premises for the full ten (10) years of the Term granted to the Tenant and therefore is only repayable to the Landlord in the event of early termination of the Lease as a result of either (i) default by the Tenant in the due and punctual payment of all Rent and all other amounts payable under the Lease or in the prompt and complete performance of all and singular the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, or (ii) the exercise by the -40- Tenant of its right to cancel the Lease as provided under Section 14.18. In such event the Loan shall be immediately due and repayable in the amount equal to the unamortized value of the leasehold improvements made to the Leased Premises (which the Tenant is required by this lease to leave in the Leased Premises) and paid for by the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.14(a) above (the "Loan Balance"). For the purpose of this Section 14.14(c), the loan Balance shall be deemed to equal the product obtained when the loan is multiplied by a fraction having as its numerator the number of years and partial years left remaining in the Term at the time of said early termination of the Lease and as its denominator, ten (10). The Landlord shall be permitted to apply any or all of the Security Deposit, together with accrued interest, to repayment of the Loan Balance. The Loan Balance payable by the Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be Additional Rent. (d) In order to secure the faithful performance by the Tenant of all of its covenants and obligations under this Lease, including the Tenant's covenant to pay the Loan Balance outstanding as provided under subsection 14 .14 (c) herein, (i) the Tenant covenants to enter into a personal property security agreement (the "Personal. Property Security Agreement") with the Landlord, in the form attached hereto as Schedule "H", and (ii) the Indemnifier covenants to enter into a personal property security agreement (also herein referred to as "the Personal Property Security Agreement") with the Landlord, in the form attached hereto as Schedule "I", both simultaneously upon execution of this Lease, failing which, this Lease may, at the Landlord's option, be terminated by the Landlord and the Deposit returned to the Tenant with interest as set out in Section 2.03. The Personal Property Security Agreement shall be effective for the duration of the Term of this Lease and a notice of the security interest will be registered under the Personal Property Security Act. The Landlord's security interest shall be second in priority subsequent only to the security in favour of The Toronto-Dominion Bank in connection with ordinary course of business financing of the Tenant, as approved by the Landlord, from time to time. (e) (i) Notwithstanding anything contained hereunder to the contrary, the Landlord agrees to release its interest in the security charged by the Personal Property Security Agreement required and entered into pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.14(d) above so long as GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED, the Indemnifier under this Lease, shall deposit with the Landlord an irrevocable letter or letters of credit (the "Letter of Credit") from a Canadian chartered bank in favour of the Landlord payable on demand in a form acceptable to the Landlord in the amount of: (1) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) if the Letter of credit is deposited during the first full consecutive twelve (12) calendar months of the Term from the Commencement Date; (2) Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) if the Letter of credit is deposited during the second full consecutive twelve (12) calendar months of the Term from the Commencement Date; -41- (3) Three hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) if the Letter of credit is deposited during the third full consecutive twelve (12) calendar months of the Term from the Commencement Date; (4) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) if the letter of credit is deposited during the fourth full consecutive twelve (12) calendar months of the Term from the Commencement Date: and (5) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) if the Letter of credit is deposited during the fifth full consecutive twelve (12) calendar months of the Term from the Commencement Date. The Letter of Credit will be held by the Landlord for sixty (60) full calendar months or until expiration of the Term of this Lease, whichever first occurs, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance by the Tenant of all of its covenants and obligations under the Lease (including the Tenant's covenant to pay the loan Balance outstanding as provided under subsection 14.14(c) herein). (ii) If the Tenant pays the Rent (including Basic Rent and all Additional Rent) as and when due and punctually observes and perform the terms, covenants and conditions to be observed and performed by it in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and so long as the Tenant is GEAC CANADA LIMITED and is itself in occupation of and conducting business in the whole of the Premises, then from and after the expiry of each successive twelve (12) full calendar month period after the date GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED deposits the Letter of Credit with the Landlord, GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED may, at its option, replace the letter of Credit with substitute Letter of Credit in the amount which is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) less than the immediately previous Letter of Credit. (iii) If the Basic Rent or Additional Rent are at any time overdue and unpaid, or if the Tenant fails to keep and perform any terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, then the Landlord at its option may, in addition to any other rights it has, draw upon and apply the entire Letter of Credit in place at such time, or as much of it as is necessary to compensate the Landlord for loss or damage sustained or suffered by the Landlord due to the Tenant's breach. If the entire Letter of Credit, or any portion of it, is drawn upon and applied by the Landlord for payment of overdue Rent, then: (1) GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED will, upon demand, be required to provide to the Landlord an additional Letter of Credit or substitute Letter of Credit to ensure that the Landlord is in possession of the amount of a Letter of Credit in the amount and in the form originally required by the terms of this subsection 14.14 (e)(i) to be held by the Landlord for a further sixty (60) month period, or the remainder of the Term of the Lease, whichever first occurs, and (2) the Tenant will not be entitled to replace the amount of the Letter of Credit as hereinbefore provided under Subsection 14.14 (e) (ii) with a Letter of Credit which is less than the Letter of credit then in place. If the Tenant complies with all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein and promptly pays all of the Rent, the Letter of Credit will be returned in full to the Tenant without interest at the expiry of the applicable sixty (60) month period, or expiration of the Term of this Lease, whichever first occurs. -42- (iv) The Landlord may deliver the current Letter of Credit in place to any purchaser of the Landlord's interest in the Premises or the Building and if purchaser agrees to assume the Landlord's obligations under subsection 14.14 (e) (iii), the Landlord is thereafter relieved of all further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit.

If the Tenant does not advise the Landlord or fails to advise the Landlord of its election to exercise its Option on the Option Date, then the Landlord shall thereupon have the right to lease the Expansion Space to a third party and the Tenant's Option shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. SECTION 14.16 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL So long as the Tenant and occupant of the Leased Premises is GEAC CANADA LIMITED and is not in default under the terms of this Lease, then during the initial Term of this Lease (excluding any renewal), if the Landlord shall receive an offer to lease (the "Offer") from a bona fide party dealing at arm's length with the Landlord and which Offer the Landlord is prepared to accept, for that portion of rentable premises presently vacant on the ground floor of the Building containing approximately three thousand (3,000) square feet and outlined in yellow on Schedule "B" attached hereto (the "Additional Premises"), then, the Landlord shall first give -43- to the Tenant notice (the "Notice") in writing of its intention to lease the Additional premises together with a copy of the Offer and including the terms and conditions on which it is prepared to grant a lease to the Tenant for the Additional Premises.

SCHEDULE "D" TENANT: GEAC CANADA LIMITED SUITE NO.: THIRD FLOOR DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1988 METHOD OF FLOOR MEASUREMENT The following sets out the various methods of measuring areas in the Building using standard B.O.M.A. measurement. DEFINITIONS (a) "Finished Surface" shall mean a wall, ceiling or floor surface, including glass, as prepared for tenant use, excluding the thickness of any special surfacing materials such as panelling, furring strips and carpet. (b) "Dominant Portion" shall mean that portion of the inside finished surface of the permanent outer building wall which is 50% or more of the vertical floor-to-ceiling dimension measured at the dominant portion. If there is no dominant portion, or if the dominant portion is not vertical, the measurement for area shall be to the inside finished surface of the permanent outer building wall, where it intersects the finished floor. (c) "Major Vertical Penetrations" shall mean stair, elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts, and the like, and their enclosing walls, which serve more than one floor of the building, but shall not include stairs, dumb-waiters, lifts, and the like, exclusively serving a tenant occupying offices on more than one floor. (d)"Office" shall mean the premises leased to a tenant for which a measurement is to be computed. (e) For Partial Floor Tenants: The area is defined in "Usable" square feet, but rental will be based on "Rentable" square feet. The latter will also be used in determining the Tenant's Proportionate Share. 1. USABLE AREA The Usable Area of an office shall be computed by measuring to the Finished Surface of the office side of corridor and other permanent walls, to the centre of partitions that separate the office from adjoining Usable Areas, and to the inside finished surface of the Dominant Portion of the permanent outer building walls. -2- 2. RENTABLE AREA The Rentable Area of a floor shall be computed by measuring to the inside Finished Surface of the Dominant Portion of the permanent outer building walls, excluding any major vertical penetrations of the floor. No deduction shall be made for columns and projections necessary to the building. The Rentable Area of an office on the floor shall be computed by multiplying the Usable Area of that office by the quotient of the division of the Rentable Area of the floor by the Usable Area of the floor resulting in the "R/U Ratio" described herein. 3. CONVERSION FORMULA Rentable Area = Rentable/Usable Ratio ------------- ("R/U Ratio") Usable Area Usable Area x R/U Ratio = Rentable Area Rentable Area = Usable Area ------------- R/U Ratio SCHEDULE "E" TENANT: GEAC CANADA LIMITED SUITE NO.: THIRD FLOOR DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1988 RULES AND REGULATIONS 1.

Any property sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall upon disposition be no longer subject to the Security Interest hereby created. Nothing in this General Security Agreement shall prevent or in any way hinder the Debtor, so long as the Security hereby constituted shall not have become enforceable, from carrying on its business in the ordinary course including, without consent of or release from the Secured Party, from validly and effectively entering into, amending and terminating contracts, from time to time, and satisfying in the ordinary course its liabilities and obligations. 2.03 The Debtor shall not (without the prior written consent of the Secured Party) create, assume or have outstanding, except to the Secured Party, any mortgage, charge, security interest or other encumbrance on all or any part of the Charged Property, which would rank in priority to or pari passu with the security constituted by this General Security Agreement other than: (a) security interests, from time to time, granted in favour of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (or any successor in interest thereto by assignment or otherwise);

and (b) to the last day of the term of any lease or any agreement to lease (whether now held or hereafter acquired by the Debtor) nor shall the last day of any such lease or agreement to lease form part of the Charged Property, but the Debtor shall stand possessed of such last day in trust to assign and dispose of the same as the Secured Party shall direct upon the Security hereby constituted becoming enforceable. 2.07 The Secured Party may at his discretion at all times release any part or parts of the Charged Property or any other security or surety for the money hereby secured either with or without any sufficient consideration therefor, and without responsibility therefor, and without thereby releasing any other part of the Charged Property or any person from this General Security Agreement or from any of the covenants herein contained, it being especially agreed that every part of the Charged Property into which the Charged Property is or may hereafter be divided does and shall stand charged with the whole money hereby secured and no person shall have the right to require the Indebtedness of the Debtor to be apportioned among the Charged Property; and without being accountable to the Debtor for value thereof, over any monies except those actually received by the Secured Party. 2.08 The Debtor hereby covenants and agrees that it will at all times do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, transfers, assignments and assurances as the -4- Secured Party may reasonably require for the better assuring, mortgaging, charging and confirming of the Charged Property to the Secured Party. 2.09 The Debtor covenants with the Secured Party that: (i) Subject to a charge in favour of the Toronto-Dominion Bank, the Debtor has good title to the Charged Property free and clear of any charges or encumbrances ranking in parity with or prior to the specific mortgage and charge of this General Security Agreement save and except as herein permitted, and that it will defend the title of such property and any property or rights hereafter acquired by it, for the benefit of the Secured Party; (ii) the Debtor has the right to convey the Charged Property to the Secured Party; (iii) on default the Secured Party shall have quiet possession of the Charged Property free from all encumbrances except those encumbrances which are permitted hereunder;

The Debtor and the Secured Party hereby agree that the Security Interest in the Charged Property shall attach upon the obtaining of any interest therein by the -5- Debtor, and thereafter shall be a fixed and specific charge on the Charged Property. If title to the Charged Property has not passed to the Debtor on the date hereof, it is hereby acknowledged by the Debtor that this General Security Agreement creates a purchase money security interest with respect thereto. 3.

Any property sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall upon disposition be no longer subject to the Security Interest hereby created. Nothing in this General Security Agreement shall prevent or in any way hinder the Debtor, so long as the Security hereby constituted shall not have become enforceable, from carrying on its business in the ordinary course including, without consent of or release from the Secured Party, from validly and effectively entering into, amending and terminating contracts, from time to time, and satisfying in the ordinary course its liabilities and obligations. 2.03 The Debtor shall not (without the prior written consent of the Secured Party) create, assume or have outstanding, except to the Secured Party, any mortgage, charge, security interest or other encumbrance on all or any part of the Charged Property, which would rank in priority to or pari passu with the security constituted by this General Security Agreement other than: (a) security interests, from time to time, granted in favour of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (or any successor in interest thereto by assignment or otherwise);

This letter is effective as at December 4, 2001. The Board recognizes the extraordinary efforts you have expended on behalf of Geac as Chairman for nominal consideration. It is the desire of the Board that you continue these efforts. In that vein, you shall continue to serve Geac faithfully to the best of your ability and shall, subject to your continued obligations as a member of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of First Funding Corporation (and Chairman) and certain other corporations that you have disclosed to Geac, and acting as an investor individually and in partnerships, throughout the term of your employment devote your reasonable and necessary working time and attention to the business and affairs of Geac and shall use your best efforts to maintain and advance that business while continuing to supervise the President and Chief Executive Officer as the Board's representative between meetings of the Board. REPORTING RELATIONSHIP As Chairman, you will report to the Board of Directors. You acknowledge that your powers as Chairman are those delegated to you from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with Geac's By-Laws and that the By-Laws provide that each officer shall hold office during the pleasure of the Board.

(ii) BONUS You shall also be entitled to a bonus determined at the discretion of the Board based upon Geac's financial performance. (iii) STOCK OPTIONS You are hereby granted options (the "Options") to acquire 600,000 Geac common shares (the "Shares") with an exercise price per Share equal to the arithmetic average of the high and low board lot prices of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the five trading days immediately preceding December 4, 2001, namely Cdn.$6.37.

In addition, the Board recognizes with gratitude your willingness to accept 600,000 options instead of the 1,000,000 originally discussed in order to provide room under the Plan for options to be granted to others.

You shall serve faithfully to the best of your ability and shall throughout the term of your assignment devote your full working time and attention to the business and affairs of GEC and Geac and shall use your best efforts to maintain and advance that business. It is understood that you are not being offered employment for a definite period of time and that either you or GEC may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason without prior notice and, except in the circumstances and to the extent expressly set forth below, without additional compensation to you. REPORTING OBLIGATION As Chief Technology Officer, you will report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Geac. DETAILS OF YOUR REMUNERATION 1. BASE SALARY: Annual base salary of US$250,000 per annum, subject to annual review. This will be paid in semi-monthly installments subject to all proper withholding taxes and any deductions attributable to your required or elective contributions to the benefits provided by GEC, including the benefits referred to in Section 3 of this letter. 2. BONUS: You will be eligible to participate in the Geac FY03 Bonus Plan. Your FY03 bonus target amount will be US$150,000, split 50% to company performance and 50% to the achievement of functional objectives or MBO's. Both company performance, including revenue and EBIT performance, and functional objectives are tied to the Geac approved Board of Directors plan. "EBIT" is defined in Schedule "A". For the remainder of FY03 (based upon your start date of January 2, 2003), you will be eligible for a prorated bonus in the amount of US$50,000. Bonus target amounts for FY04 and beyond 2 will be reviewed and set at least annually, but the bonus target amount will not decrease below US$150,000. 3. GROUP BENEFITS: You will be entitled to receive and participate in all of Geac's U.S. standard employee benefit plans. All such benefits will be provided to you by a provider or providers in the United States. 4. VACATION: During each year of your employment with GEC you will be entitled to 4 weeks paid vacation to be taken at mutually agreeable times. STOCK OPTIONS On January 2, 2003, you have been granted options ("Options") to purchase 300 thousand (300,000) common shares of Geac with an exercise price that will be set on January 2, 2003. These Options are granted subject to Geac's Stock Option Plan VI (the "Plan"). Upon receipt of regulatory approval, Geac may transfer all or some of the Options out of the Plan and list the common shares underlying such transferred Options. In such event, transferred Options will continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan. The options shall have an "Option Period" for purposes of the Plan of ten years from the date of grant. Options will vest equally over a four year period, commencing December 1, 2003. VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION If you wish to resign voluntarily you shall provide GEC and Geac with at least 30 days prior written notice, which shall set out a proposed date of resignation. GEC may elect to require you to remain in its employment for all or part of the notice period, or may require that you resign immediately. Upon the date of your resignation, GEC shall pay you all unpaid salary and shall pay any unpaid bonus provided that the conditions for payment of the bonus have been met. Upon the date of your resignation the vesting of Options shall cease and you will have no entitlement to pay or benefits beyond the date of resignation. This paragraph shall be subject to, and shall not apply in the case of resignation following a Change in Control described in the paragraphs hereafter set forth concerning a Change in Control. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If you have engaged in any conduct constituting Just Cause (as hereinafter defined) for dismissal, GEC may terminate your employment by providing you with written notice of termination and your employment and your rights under this Agreement shall terminate on the day the notice is delivered to you. Upon termination for Just Cause you shall be paid all unpaid salary owing to you, the vesting of Options shall cease and the Options shall terminate forthwith. You will have no entitlement to pay or benefits beyond the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, the term "Just Cause" shall mean (a) your material failure to substantially perform your duties with GEC or Geac (other than any such failure resulting from 3 your incapacity due to physical or mental illness) that continues for more than 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Chief Executive Officer of GEC or Geac, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which GEC or Geac believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, (b) the willful engaging by you in conduct which is materially injurious to GEC, Geac or any of their respective affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, (c) your conviction of any crime, other than routine traffic violations and other minor misdemeanors, or (d) your engaging in any business which materially competes with any material business of GEC, Geac or any of their respective affiliates. TERMINATION FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN JUST CAUSE GEC shall have the right to terminate your employment at any time for any reason other than Just Cause. You shall be entitled to receive on the date of such termination a lump sum cash payment (the "Termination Payment") in an amount equal, at your option, to (i) your base salary received or receivable by you in respect of the immediately preceding year in the normal payroll cycle or (ii) your base salary for the calendar month preceding the date of termination multiplied by 12. Subject to the agreement of the carrier or carriers, GEC will also maintain all of your benefits of employment for a period of 12 months from the date of termination. In the event that one or more carriers does not agree to such an extension of coverage, GEC agrees to pay you an amount equal to the cost of your obtaining substantially equivalent benefit coverage. You will be paid, credited or reimbursed, as the case may be, for all unpaid salary (including credit for any vacation earned but not taken), expenses, benefits and other amounts payable to you or earned by you up to the termination date. The vesting of Options shall cease on the date of termination and you shall have the right to exercise Options vested prior to that date for a period of 30 days from the date of termination (provided that in no event shall the period during which you may exercise Options exceed the Option Period of ten years). CHANGE IN CONTROL AND CHANGE AFFECTING YOUR EMPLOYMENT 1. In the event that there shall occur both a Change of Control and a Change Affecting Your Employment within 12 months of a Change in Control, you may elect to resign from GEC within 120 days of the Change in Control and Change Affecting Your Employment. In the event of your resignation, you will be provided with the following: (a) On the effective date of your resignation, GEC will pay you the Termination Payment, calculated as though such effective date was the effective date of the termination of your employment by GEC for a reason other than Just Cause; and (b) Subject to the agreement of the carrier or carriers, GEC will maintain all benefits of employment for a period of 12 months from the date of termination. In the event that one or more carriers does not agree to such an extension of coverage, GEC agrees to pay you an amount equal to the cost of your obtaining substantially equivalent benefit coverage. (c) In such event, you will also be paid, credited or reimbursed, as the case may be, for all unpaid salary (including credit for any vacation earned but not taken), expenses, benefits and other amounts payable to you or earned by you up to the date of resignation. Also, in 4 such event, all unvested Stock Options previously granted shall become fully vested and you shall have the right to exercise those Options for a period of 12 months from the date of resignation (provided that in no event shall the period during which you may exercise Options exceed the Option Period of ten years). 2. In no case will you be entitled to both a payment for termination for any reason other than cause and for a termination in the event of a Change in Control and Change Affecting Your Employment. For the purposes of this Letter Agreement, "Change in Control" and "Change Affecting Your Employment" are defined as set out in Schedule "B". PROPERTY OF GEC, GEAC AND THEIR AFFILIATES All equipment, material, written correspondence, memoranda, communication, reports, or other documents pertaining to the business of GEC, Geac or any of their respective affiliates used or produced by you in connection with your employment, or in your possession or under your control, shall at all times remain the property of GEC, Geac and their respective affiliates. You shall return all property of GEC, Geac and such affiliates in your possession or under your control in good condition within one week of a request by GEC or Geac, or within one week of the termination of your employment.

I recognize that Geac has a proprietary interest in any inventions or enhancements that I may make during my employment, whether made during or after regular business hours, and whether made with Geac's, my own or anyone else's materials and/or equipment, if such inventions or enhancements may reasonably be regarded as: (a) relating directly to the business of Geac (to the extent that I may reasonably be aware of same) at the time the development of the invention of enhancement; or (b) derived from confidential or proprietary information of Geac obtained by me in the course of my employment. Such inventions or enhancements are referred to herein as "Geac Inventions". 5. ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN INVENTIONS I hereby irrevocably assign and agree to assign, all my interest, if any, together with all moral rights, if any, in all Geac Inventions to Geac or its nominee.

In the event that I should fail to give Geac notice of any such conflict of which I am aware, I agree that Geac may deem that no such conflict exists. By such inaction I will thereby waive any claim which I may have against Geac with respect to the use of any such invention or idea. 9. RETURN OF PROPERTY Upon ceasing employment with Geac, or earlier if required by Geac, I agree to promptly deliver to Geac all property, including but not limited to, correspondence, blueprints, letters, drawings, schematics, manuals, notes, notebooks, reports, flowcharts, progress reports, proposals, records, data, sketches, drawings, memorandum, models, samples, equipment, customer lists, price lists, product specifications, laboratory or field test results or any other property pertaining to my employment by Geac and belonging to Geac, its customers, partners, joint venturers, suppliers or other business associates. 10.

VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION If you wish to resign voluntarily you shall provide Geac with at least 30 days prior written notice, which shall set out a proposed date of resignation. Geac may elect to require you to remain in its employment for all or part of the notice period, or may require that you resign immediately. Upon the date of your resignation, Geac shall pay you all unpaid salary and shall pay any unpaid bonus provided that the conditions for payment of the bonus have been met.

Upon termination for Cause you shall be paid all unpaid salary owing to you, the vesting of Options shall cease and the Options shall terminate forthwith. You will have no entitlement to pay or benefits beyond the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean (a) your material failure to substantially perform your duties with Geac (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness) that continues for more than 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Chief Executive Officer of GCCL, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which Geac believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, (b) the willful engaging by you in conduct which is materially injurious to Geac or any of its affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, (c) your conviction of any crime, other than routine traffic violations or (d) your engaging in any business which materially competes with any material business of Geac or any of its affiliates.

Subject to the agreement of the carrier or carriers, Geac will also maintain all of your benefits of employment for a period of 12 months from the date of termination. In the event that one or more carriers does not agree to such an extension of coverage, Geac agrees to pay you an amount equal to the cost of your obtaining substantially equivalent benefit coverage. You will be paid, credited or reimbursed, as the case may be, for all unpaid salary (including credit for any vacation earned but not taken), expenses, benefits and other amounts payable to you or earned by you up to the termination date. The vesting of Options shall cease on the date of termination and you shall have the right to exercise Options vested prior to that date for a period of 12 months from the date of termination (provided that in no event shall the period during which you may exercise Options exceed the Option Period of ten years). 4 CHANGE IN CONTROL AND CHANGE AFFECTING YOUR EMPLOYMENT 1. In the event of a Change in Control and a Change Affecting Your Employment within 12 months of a Change in Control, you may elect to resign from Geac within 120 days of the Change in Control and Change Affecting Your Employment.

In such event, you will also be paid, credited or reimbursed, as the case may be, for all unpaid salary (including credit for any vacation earned but not taken), expenses, benefits and other amounts payable to you or earned by you up to the date of resignation. Also, in such event, all unvested Stock Options previously granted shall become fully vested and you shall have the right to exercise those Options for a period of 12 months from the date of resignation (provided that in no event shall the period during which you may exercise Options exceed the Option Period of ten years). 2. In no case will you be entitled to both a payment for termination for any reason other than cause and for a termination in the event of a Change in Control and Change Affecting Your Employment.

In addition, an Affidavit of Lost or Destroyed Certificates, the form of which accompanies this Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, should also be forwarded to the Exchange Agent. If an Extensity Stock Certificate has been lost or destroyed, please ensure that you provide your telephone number to the Exchange Agent in case they need to contact you (though neither Geac, Extensity nor the Exchange Agent is under any obligation to do so). 11. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING (Block I) United States federal income tax law generally requires that a holder of Extensity Shares who receives cash in exchange for Extensity Shares, including cash instead of fractional Geac common shares, must provide the Exchange Agent with his correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"), which, in the case of a holder of Extensity Shares who is an individual, is generally the individual's social security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding at a rate of 30% may be imposed upon the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained. Please consult your tax advisor regarding obtaining refunds. To avoid backup withholding, each holder must provide his correct TIN by completing the "Substitute Form W-9" set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, which requires such holder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), (2) that (i) the holder is not subject to or exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (3) that the holder is a U.S. person (including a resident alien). Each holder should complete Substitute Form W-9 regardless of whether the holder has previously furnished a TIN or the certification on Substitute Form W-9 with respect to dividend payments. Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, write "Exempt" in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines") for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to prevent backup withholding, such person must timely submit a completed Form W-8BEN ("Certificate of Foreign Status") signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such form may be obtained from the Exchange Agent. If Extensity Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report. If you do not have a TIN, consult the W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9, and sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth herein. If you do not provide your TIN to the Exchange Agent within 60 days, backup withholding will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN to the Exchange Agent. Note: Writing "Applied For" on the form means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one in the near future. 12. MISCELLANEOUS (a) If the space on this Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal is insufficient to list all required information, you may include such information on one or more separate signed sheets and attach them to this Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal. (b) If deposited Extensity Shares are registered in different forms (e.g. `John Doe' and `J. Doe'), a separate Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal should be signed for each different registration. You may photocopy the enclosed Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, or contact the Exchange Agent at the address below for additional copies. (c) No alternative, conditional or contingent surrender of Extensity Shares will be accepted. (d) Any revocation or change of an election must be made in writing and received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event of a change of an election, this notice must be accompanied by a properly completed and signed election form indicating the changed election. (e) This Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal and any agreement resulting from this Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus, the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained from the Exchange Agent at any of its offices at the addresses listed below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock Awards subject to such agreement (it being understood, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company's leave of absence policy or in the written terms of the Participant's leave of absence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act, prior to the first day of any fiscal year of the Company, to increase the share reserve by such number of shares of Common Stock as the Board shall determine, which number shall be less than 4% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Calculation Date. (b) REVERSION OF SHARES TO THE SHARE RESERVE. If any Stock Award shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such Stock Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

Stock Awards may be granted to Employees or Consultants who are not (i) Officers, (ii) Directors, or (iii) or then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Stock Awards may be granted to persons not previously employed by the Company as an inducement essential to those persons entering into employment contracts with the Company, including persons who are ultimately employed by the Company as Officers. (b) CONSULTANTS. A Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Form S-8") is 6. not available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, because the Consultant is not a natural person, or because of any other rule governing the use of Form S-8, unless the Company determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another manner under the Securities Act (e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. 6. OPTION PROVISIONS. Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: (a) TERM. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date on which it was granted. (b) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option or subsequently (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Optionholder, (3) by reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionholder, including any liability attributable to the Optionholder's participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement or (4) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (1) the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than 7. amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (2) the treatment of the Option as a variable award for financial accounting purposes. (d) TRANSFERABILITY. A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. (e) VESTING GENERALLY. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this Section 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised. (f) TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. (g) EXTENSION OF TERMINATION DATE. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements. (h) DISABILITY OF OPTIONHOLDER. In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 8. (i) DEATH OF OPTIONHOLDER. In the event that (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionholder's death pursuant to Section 6(e) or 6(f), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date twelve (12) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (j) EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. The Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically provides in the Option. 7. PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS. (a) STOCK BONUS AWARDS.

(v) TRANSFERABILITY. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. 8.

The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to 10. register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. 9.

(b) STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms. (c) NO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE RIGHTS. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered 11. under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. (a) CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS. If any change is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a "Capitalization Adjustment"), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) and the maximum number of securities subject to award to any person pursuant to Section 5(c), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) (b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation. (c) CORPORATE TRANSACTION. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards for Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (it being understood that similar stock awards include, but are not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction). In the event that the surviving corporation refuses to assume or 12. substitute for the Stock Award, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Stock Award as to all of the Common Stock, including shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If a Stock Award becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Stock Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Stock Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Stock Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Corporate Transaction, the Stock Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock, immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the Corporate Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction is not solely common stock of the surviving corporation or its parent, the Board may, with the consent of the surviving corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Stock Award, for each share of Common Stock to be solely common stock of the surviving corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction. (d) CHANGE IN CONTROL. A Stock Award held by any Participant whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of a Change in Control may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after such event as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur. 12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS. (a) AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. (b) STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit the Plan and/or any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval. (c) NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. (d) AMENDMENT OF STOCK AWARDS. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 13. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. (a) PLAN TERM. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 13. (b) NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant. 14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Stock Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. 15. CHOICE OF LAW. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules. 14.

Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; (vi) to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock Purchase Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall have declined since the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was granted; (vii) to institute an Option Exchange Program; (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan; (ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; (x) to modify or amend each Option or Stock Purchase Right (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; (xi) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right previously granted by the Administrator; (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. (c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights. -5- 5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 6. Limitations. (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. (b) Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. (c) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options: (i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 500,000 Shares. (ii) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 500,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above. (iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as described in Section 13. (iv) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 13), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 7. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan. 8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the -6- Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction. (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. (c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) promissory note; (iv) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of -7- surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised; (v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee's participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement; (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 10. Exercise of Option. (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months -8- following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. (c) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. (d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 11. Stock Purchase Rights (a) Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. -9- (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator. (c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. (d) Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 12. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option or Stock Purchase Right may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale. (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right. -10- (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 14. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. -11- (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. (b) Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 17. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 19. Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. -12- GRAPHIC 42 b44353f4b4435301.gif GRAPHIC begin 644 b44353f4b4435301.gif M1TE&.#EA:0%$`/<``("`@$!`0,#`P`$!`4='1^[N[@P,#!04%,'!P0D)"9F9 MF0<'!P8&!EA86`L+"P0$!.GIZ3DY.4E)2WGQ\?!L; M&_[^_@X.#@4%!?KZ^OW]_7=W=ZJJJE=75T)"0@T-#>KJZFIJ:B\O+]+2TA(2 M$@,#`RLK*T9&1H.#@XF)B5U=76-C8SX^/AD9&1\?'Q`0$`@("/GY^7U]?:*B MHH^/CQ45%55551T='3L[.Q,3$[6UM5145)"0D$I*2E]?7S\_/SGH&!@9*2DH:&AG1T=/'Q\4A(2!@8&&AH M:'5U=34U-:"@H+JZNJ>GIUE968V-C0\/#R8F)FYN;D]/3ST]/7%QZ6EI9B8F%!04"XN+F)B8F=G9WEY>2DI*6]O;\7%Q?;V M]MG9V?7U]<+"PC$Q,30T-*BHJ'IZ>AH:&H>'A_#P\)V=G:2DI+"PL-/3TS@X M.!<7%Y.3DV%A824E);FYN>WM[<[.SL;&QFEI::RLK*.CH[>WM^_O[_CX^+2T MM-#0T"PL+(6%A'A86%K^_OXN+BY^?GV9F9AP<'+*R MLKR\O.#@X,3$Q*^OKR`@(%Y>7I>7ER,C(W9V=C,S,R(B(GY^?K&QL;N[N^3D MY-W=W7AX>.;FYB$A(/CX]O;V^7EY>SL[,K*RMC8V-?7 MU^OKZ]S/($-2%/7I!AA#1P[X6\F2Y0%` M2'!HLR>RILV;.'/JW,FSIT)$T>:86-"RJ-&B`ZIY^J3!I].G4*-2['`GTLH!
