PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. To better understand the distribution and Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc., you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and financial statements. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus regarding the distribution of Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc. common stock to the stockholders of Bitstream Inc. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional information or information different from that contained in this prospectus. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of shares of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

Why This Prospectus Was Sent to You

This prospectus is being delivered by Bitstream Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bitstream”), to you because you were an owner of Bitstream common stock on                     . This entitles you to receive a distribution (the “Distribution”) of one share of the common stock of a new company, Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MSDH”), for each share of Bitstream common stock owned by you on                     . Although no action is required on your part to cause this to happen and you do not have to pay cash or other consideration to receive these shares, the distribution of these shares to you will have certain tax and other consequences, so please read the information in this document carefully. You do not need to surrender shares of Bitstream common stock to receive MSDH common stock in the Distribution. The number of shares of Bitstream common stock you own will not change as a result of the Distribution.

MSDH was formed on July 18, 2011 in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger (the “Bitstream Merger”) with and acquisition by Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monotype”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by and between Bitstream and Monotype on November 10, 2011 (the “Separation Date”). On the Separation Date, Bitstream transferred and assigned to MSDH all of the assets and liabilities relating to, arising from or in connection with Bitstreams Pageflex and BOLT product lines (the “Separation”) as described in further detail in this prospectus. The completion of the Separation and the Distribution are conditions precedent to the Bitstream Merger. The Distribution must be consummated three business days prior to the completion of the Bitstream Merger. This prospectus describes the business of MSDH, the relationship between Bitstream and MSDH, how the Separation and the Distribution benefit Bitstream and its stockholders, and provides other information to assist you in evaluating the benefits and risks of holding or disposing of your shares of MSDH common stock that you receive in the Distribution.

This prospectus presents historical and forward-looking information about MSDH as if it has always operated as its own entity rather than as a component of Bitstream.

Relationship Between Bitstream and MSDH

Bitstream is a software development company with three product lines: (1) fonts and font rendering technologies (the “Fonts Product” or “Fonts”), (2) automated marketing communication and print production technologies (the “Pageflex Product” or “Pageflex”), and (3) mobile browsing technologies (the “BOLT Products” or “BOLT”). MSDH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream. Bitstream owns all of the assets, liabilities and operations relating to the Fonts Product. MSDH owns all of the assets, liabilities and operations of the Pageflex Products and BOLT Products. MSDH has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flow. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and through the nine months ended September 30, 2011, MSDH incurred net losses of $7.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of $5.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, MSDH has an accumulated deficit of $42.2 million.

Table of Contents

All MSDH common stock is being distributed to the Bitstream stockholders as described in this prospectus. Bitstream will have no ownership interest in MSDH after the Distribution. The Board of Directors of MSDH will consist of four (4) directors. At the outset, all of the MSDH directors will be former directors of Bitstream after completion of the Bitstream Merger.

Please review the information set forth under the captions “Arrangements Between Bitstream and MSDH,” “Description of Capital Stock” and “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities” for further details about MSDH’s relationship with Bitstream, its capital structure and matters related to corporate governance.

Reasons for the Distribution

The Merger Agreement between Bitstream and Monotype requires the Separation of the Pageflex and BOLT Products from Bitstream and the Distribution of all shares of MSDH common stock to Bitstream’s stockholders on a pro rata basis three business days prior to and in connection with the Bitstream Merger. After thorough consideration, the Board of Directors of Bitstream determined that the Separation, Bitstream Merger and the consequent Distribution are in the best interest of the stockholders of Bitstream. Please review the information set forth under the caption “Reasons for the Distribution” included later in this prospectus for further details about the reasons for the Distribution.

The Distribution

Each Bitstream stockholder will receive one share of MSDH common stock for every share of Bitstream common stock held. As of December 16, 2011, Bitstream had 10,682,525 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, including 175,930 shares of restricted stock that will become fully vested as a result of the Bitstream Merger.

Each outstanding option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (the “Bitstream Options”) shall be divided into (i) one option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (each an “Adjusted Bitstream Option”) and (ii) one option to purchase a share of MSDH common stock (each a “New MSDH Option”). Each Adjusted Bitstream Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity compensation plan of Bitstream and as provided in the respective option agreements governing such Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such Adjusted Bitstream Option will be adjusted as described below. Each New MSDH Option shall be issued under the MSDH Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, to be established by MSDH prior to the Distribution Date, but shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such New MSDH Option will be adjusted as described below. The New MSDH Option shall be adjusted to the product of the original exercise price of such Bitstream Option multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the estimated enterprise value of MSDH and the denominator of which is the sum of the total consideration in the Bitstream Merger and the estimated enterprise value of MSDH.

The exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and the New MSDH Options will be determined by allocating the exercise price of the original Bitstream Option between the two new options in proportion to the relative value per share of the stock of the two companies. For this purpose, the value of Bitstream stock will be determined by the price to be paid for each share of Bitstream in the Bitstream Merger, and the value of MSDH stock will be based on the estimated enterprise value of MSDH. For an example of these calculations and the values of MSDH and Bitstream common stock, see the discussion under the heading “The Distribution” below.

Distribution and Transfer Information

Computershare will act as the distribution and transfer agent for the Distribution. The distribution agent will mail stock certificates beginning on or about the distribution date.

Record Date, Distribution Date

The record date for the Distribution will be the close of business on                     . On the record date, Bitstream will transfer to a custodian all of the shares of MSDH common stock pursuant to an irrevocable custody arrangement. On or about                     , the custodian will deliver the shares to MSDH’s transfer agent which will then mail them to the Bitstream stockholders of record as of the record date.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Bitstream common stock are currently outstanding, nor will any fractional shares of MSDH common stock be distributed.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in this prospectus that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. These risk factors represent the risk associated with the operation of the Pageflex and BOLT Products by MSDH after completion of the Bitstream Merger and the Separation and Distribution. While certain historical information may be material to an understanding of certain risk factors, historical operations with respect to the Pageflex and BOLT Products were conducted by Bitstream as a whole and integrated with its Fonts Products.

We are subject to risks common to technology-based companies, including dependence on key personnel, rapid technological change, competition from alternative product offerings and larger companies, and challenges to the development and marketing of commercial products and services. We believe that our future results of operations could be affected by various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

delays in the development or shipment of our new products or new versions of our existing products;

 

   

the introduction of competitive products by others;

 

   

general worldwide economic conditions and disruptions in the financial markets;

 

   

risks related to our international sales;

 

   

inability to secure capital on favorable terms, or at all, if we need additional capital in the future;

 

   

inability to attract and retain key personnel;

 

   

disruption to our business from the contribution of the Pageflex and BOLT Products and the assignment of our contracts from Bitstream to MSDH;

 

   

our historical financial information may not be representative of our results as a separate company;

 

   

our common utilization of integrated information systems and financial reporting infrastructure with Bitstream may require modification or transition services to support the continued operations of our businesses after the Bitstream Merger;

 

   

we may experience difficulty obtaining the assignment of certain material contracts and some of the parties to these contracts may not consent to the assignment at all or without adverse changes to the existing cost terms and conditions;

 

   

The Distribution may cause substantial taxes, and the IRS or a state or local taxing authority may successfully later assert that this tax liability is higher than originally calculated;

 

   

disruption to our business of past and future acquisitions;

 

   

MSDH’s directors and executive officers may have conflicts of interest because of their ownership of Bitstream common stock;

 

   

intellectual property disputes;

 

   

fluctuations in quarterly operating results;

 

   

impairment of goodwill and amortizable assets;

 

   

costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements;

 

   

reliance upon development resources in Israel and India may expose us to unanticipated costs or liabilities;

unanticipated changes in accounting rules;

 

   

unanticipated changes in tax law, including tax rates; and

 

   

there has never been a trading market for MSDH common stock which may cause the stock price to be volatile.

If we are unable to successfully compete in our markets, our financial results will be negatively affected. The computer software market is highly competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change and adoption of new industry standards. As the markets in which our products are sold continue to develop and as we enter new markets, we expect to continue to face substantial competition from other software developers and anticipate that additional competitors will enter those markets. Many of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition and technical, financial and marketing resources, greater manufacturing capacity and better established relationships with incumbent and potential customers than we have. Many of our competitors have more resources to develop or acquire, and more experience in developing or acquiring, new products and technologies and in creating market awareness for those products and technologies. In addition, many of our competitors have the financial resources to offer competitive products at aggressive pricing levels that could prevent us from competing effectively. Further, many of our competitors have built long-standing relationships with some of our prospective customers and have the ability to provide financing to customers and could, therefore, have an inherent advantage in selling products to those customers. These competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and standards or changes in customer requirements and may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we are able. Many of our competitors currently market, or have the potential to market, their products directly to the ultimate consumers of such products as part of a broader product offering. In addition, there has been a trend toward industry consolidation in our markets for several years, with major digital press vendors adding software solutions to their product portfolios, including Xerox Corporation, which owns Pageflex competitor XMPie, the Kodak InSite product, and Hewlett Packard with its SmartStream product line (which resells the Pageflex iWay product). We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their market positions in an evolving industry and as companies are acquired or are unable to continue operations. We believe that continued industry consolidation may result in stronger competitors that are better able to compete for customers. This could lead to more variability in operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, rapid consolidation could also lead to fewer customers and partners, with the effect that the loss of a major customer could harm our revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these entities. To compete successfully, we must continue our investment in research and product development and we must devote substantial resources to our marketing and sales functions. There can be no assurance that we will have the necessary capital resources to fund such investment.

If we are unable to meet our customers’ demands for cutting-edge products and services, our revenue and operating results may be adversely affected. If we are unable to consistently introduce new products, services, and enhancements, our revenue and operating results are likely to be adversely affected. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond to new technological developments and customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. New products, when first released by us, may contain undetected errors that, despite quality control measures employed by us, are discovered only after a product has been integrated into our customers’ products and utilized by end users. Such errors may cause delays in product acceptance and may require design modifications which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

General economic risks and disruptions in the financial markets may adversely affect our cash flow, assets, revenue and profitability. Our business may be negatively affected by general worldwide economic conditions and related uncertainties affecting the markets in which we operate. Adverse economic conditions could adversely impact our business in future periods, resulting in: reduced demand for our products; increased pressure on the prices for our products and services; and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable. Disruptions in the financial markets have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the U.S. and world

economy, and may continue to negatively impact business and consumer spending patterns. Tightening of credit in financial markets also adversely affects the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in new licenses of our products. Additionally, the lack of available financing may limit or delay the growth of our OEM customers. Changes in employment and consumer spending patterns may also slow the adoption of new technologies and reduce the demand for new licenses for our products, and may result in fewer license renewals and less royalty income. There is no assurance that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will restore business and consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit. We are pursuing a number of strategies to generate revenue growth, including: identifying new markets for our products; developing new applications for our technologies; allocating research and development funding to products with high revenue potential; and strengthening our presence in selected geographic markets. Due to limited resources, we may not be able to continue to successfully implement these strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our significant international sales make us susceptible to a variety of currency, governmental and business custom risks. Sales to customers outside the United States represented 21% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We expect that our international business will continue to account for a significant portion of our future revenue. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products more expensive and therefore less competitive in foreign markets. Additional risks inherent in our international business activities generally include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, potentially adverse tax consequences, and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. There can be no assurance that such factors will not have an adverse effect on our future revenue and our results of operations. In addition, our European business is significant and has historically been negatively affected each year during our fiscal quarter ending September 30th due to the summer closing or slowdown of several European customers.

We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and may dilute our existing stockholders’ ownership of our common stock. MSDH has experienced a net loss as well as negative operating cash flows in the current year, and as of September 30, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of approximately $42 million. We expect to continue to make significant expenditures related to the development of our business. These expenditures may include the addition of personnel related to sales, marketing and research and development and we may therefore sustain significant operating losses and negative cash flows in the future as well as infrastructure investments to support our operations as a stand-alone entity, including without limitation corporate governance and internal control systems. We will have to maintain significant increased revenue and product gross margins to achieve profitability on an annual basis. We may require additional capital from equity or debt financing in the future to fund operations, therefore, to take advantage of strategic opportunities including more rapid expansion of our business or the acquisition of complementary products, technologies or businesses; and to develop new products or enhancements to existing products. We may not be able to secure timely additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may place limits on our financial and operating flexibility. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if and when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Failure to attract and retain talented employees would have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Our performance depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our senior management and key technical employees. Our future results will depend upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel in the software industry is intense. We rely on competitive compensation packages to recruit and retain highly skilled employees

in a competitive environment, but we do not enter into employment agreements with our personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel required to sustain our business. Failure to attract and retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain key employees of Bitstream who primarily service its Fonts Products will not continue as employees of MSDH after the Distribution. MSDH will require certain services from these employees after the Distribution pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement to be entered into between MSDH and Bitstream. Failure to secure transition services from these employees may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Separation of MSDH from Bitstream may disrupt our business and management, negatively affecting our business, operating results or financial condition. MSDH may incur losses as a result of conducting operations without the Fonts Product line. Bitstream’s historical operations consisted of the Fonts Products, the Pageflex Products and the BOLT Products. MSDH alone cannot be sure that its operating results will not be adversely affected by the loss of one or more of the following attributes:

 

   

the ability to leverage the Fonts Products expertise in areas related to the Pageflex and BOLT Products;

 

   

the opportunity to jointly develop various products;

 

   

the termination of contracts by customers or vendors of Bitstream assigned to MSDH on the basis of breaching non-assignability provisions in such contracts;

 

   

the ability to combine the expertise of the Fonts Product line with either the Pageflex Products or the BOLT Products to offer enhanced or complementary products to customers;

 

   

the ability to utilize shared overhead and administrative costs more effectively enable and cost reduce product offerings and overhead costs;

 

   

the added benefit of a larger market capitalization due to the larger combined enterprise value of Bitstream; and

 

   

the added diversification of serving separate markets.

It is possible that MSDH customers who are former Bitstream customers that subscribed for multiple product offerings will seek to find a complete solution elsewhere. Any loss of the benefits provided by the combination of the Fonts, Pageflex and BOLT Products could have a material adverse effect on MSDH’s operating results which would negatively affect the value of your investment.

MSDH’s historical financial information may not be representative of its results as a separate company. The historical financial information of MSDH is shown in the financial statements beginning on page F-3 of this prospectus and does not necessarily reflect what MSDH’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had it been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. In addition, the historical information is not necessarily indicative of what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future. MSDH has not made adjustments to reflect many significant changes that will occur in its cost structure, funding and operations as a result of its separation from Bitstream, including changes in its employee base, changes in its legal structure, increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale and increased costs associated with being a smaller, public, stand-alone company. On or prior to the Distribution Date, Bitstream shall contribute to MSDH approximately $         million in cash. MSDH believes this amount will be sufficient to fund its operating costs through September 30, 2012. However, unforeseen changes in operating expenses or cash flows could have a material adverse effect on MSDH’s working capital and there can be no assurance that any such unforeseen changes or any attempts to grow the business of MSDH would not require additional sources of funding. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and MSDH’s historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

MSDH and Bitstream currently utilize the same, integrated information systems and financial reporting infrastructure, some of which may require modification to support MSDH’s business as a stand-alone entity or transition services to support the continued operation of the Fonts Product line after the Bitstream Merger. Bitstream currently has an integrated information system and financial reporting infrastructure, including systems to manage order processing, human resources, shipping, accounting,

Table of Contents

telecommunications and computer networking. Any failure or significant downtime in Bitstream’s or MSDH’s own information systems could prevent MSDH from taking customer orders, shipping products or billing customers and could harm its business. These systems have been modified, and are in the process of being further modified, to enable MSDH to separately track items related to the Pageflex and Bolt Products. These modifications, however, may result in unexpected system failures or the loss or corruption of data.

MSDH will not seek advance consent to assign of any contracts it has assumed from Bitstream. Most of the parties to these contracts may terminate these contracts as a result of the assignment. Because MSDH is a newly-formed entity, all of the contracts under which it will continue to operate have been assigned from Bitstream to MSDH. The other parties to most of these existing contracts have a right to terminate their contracts as a result of the assignment of the contracts from Bitstream to MSDH. If any of the parties to a significant number of these contracts exercise these termination rights, MSDH’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Distribution of MSDH stock by Bitstream may cause substantial corporate tax liabilities to Bitstream. As a result, MSDH will enter into a tax indemnity agreement (the “Tax Indemnity Agreement”) with Bitstream pursuant to which MSDH will indemnify Bitstream against taxes incurred by Bitstream as a result of the Distribution.

Management believes that MSDH will not incur any liability to Bitstream under the Tax Indemnity Agreement because management believes that the income and franchise taxes incurred by Bitstream as a result of the Distribution will be fully offset by net operating loss and business tax credit carry forwards of Bitstream and that no taxes other than income and franchise taxes will be incurred by reason of the Distribution. Such belief is based in part upon our valuation for tax purposes of MSDH of approximately $19.8 million as well as our determinations with respect to the expected value of the stock of MSDH, the tax basis of Bitstream in the stock of MSDH, and the availability of net operating loss and business credit carry forwards.

There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or another taxing authority will concur that no taxes will be incurred by Bitstream as a result of Distribution, either because the value of the MSDH as of the date of the Distribution differs from the expected value of the MSDH stock at that time as currently projected or for other reasons. Any liabilities that MSDH may incur under the Tax Indemnity Agreement will adversely affect MSDH’s financial condition and results of operations.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management, negatively affecting our business, operating results or financial condition. We completed the acquisition of the iWay related assets from Press-Sense Ltd. in June 2010, which acquisition significantly expanded the portfolio of web to print Pageflex Products. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition and each acquisition has numerous risks. We may experience difficulties in integrating personnel and operations from the acquired businesses and in retaining and motivating key personnel from those businesses, and difficulties caused by potential incompatibility of business cultures. We may experience difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies, products or services with our current technologies, products, or services. We may experience difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration, as well as difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources and other administrative systems. We may not be able to certify that internal controls over financial reporting are effective. Acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing operations, divert management from day-to-day responsibilities, increase our expenses or adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. We may also not be able to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business or key customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business; and we may not be able to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses. We may incur acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact our operating results, suffer increased exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, impair relationships with

Table of Contents

employees, customers, partners, distributors or third-party providers of our technologies, products or services; and cause delay in customer and distributor purchasing decisions due to uncertainty about the direction of our product and service offerings,

While we currently have no acquisitions of other businesses pending or planned, we may pursue acquisition opportunities in the future. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals, or such acquisitions may be viewed negatively by customers, financial markets or investors. Future acquisitions may reduce our cash available for operations and other uses and could result in an increase in amortization expense related to identifiable assets acquired, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Mergers and acquisitions of high technology companies are inherently risky, and ultimately, if we do not complete an announced acquisition transaction or integrate an acquired business successfully and in a timely manner, we may not realize the benefits of the acquisition to the extent anticipated.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights against piracy, infringement of our patents, or declining legal protection. We regard our software as proprietary and attempt to protect it with a combination of copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other methods of protection. There can be no assurance that these measures will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. It may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer portions of our products or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Furthermore, the laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, and thus make the possibility of unauthorized use of our technologies and products more likely. We also rely on confidentiality agreements with our collaborators, employees, and consultants to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how. These agreements may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors. Although we currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims, we have been in the past, and may be in the future, subject to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation as part of our policy to vigorously defend our intellectual property rights, including rights derived from third-party licensors. Intellectual property disputes and litigation are typically very costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and key technical personnel, and, we may not prevail in any future litigation and disputes. Adverse decisions in such litigation or disputes could have negative results, including subjecting us to significant liabilities, requiring us to seek licenses from others, preventing us from making, using, selling, distributing, or marketing our products and services in the United States or abroad, or causing severe disruptions to our operations or the markets in which we compete, any one of which could seriously harm our business. Additionally, we do lose revenue due to the illegal use of our software. If piracy activities increase, it may further harm our business.

Fluctuations in quarterly operating results may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. We have previously experienced quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our revenue, operating costs and operating results as a result of a number of factors including the timing of new product introductions, announcements of new products by us, our competitors or our customers, slower-than-anticipated growth rates of emerging markets, slower adoption of new products and technologies into which our products are incorporated, the acquisition and integration of the assets acquired from Press-Sense Ltd., delays in customer purchases in anticipation of industry developments, and gross margin fluctuations relating to variations in product mix. Furthermore, a significant portion of our expenses are relatively fixed in nature and we may not be able to quickly reduce spending in response to shortfalls or delays in sales. Such shortfalls or delays may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied

upon as indications of future performance. Moreover, we do not operate with a significant backlog and often tend to realize a disproportionate share of our revenue in the last few weeks of a fiscal quarter, thereby impairing our ability to accurately forecast quarter-to-quarter sales results. Due to the foregoing factors, it is likely that in one or more future fiscal quarters our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock which could have a negative effect on our ability to obtain additional funding, if necessary, on terms favorable to us.

If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings. Under GAAP, we review our goodwill and amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is also required to be tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, future cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, resulting in an impact on our results of operations.

We incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements. We incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “Commission.” We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to cause us to continue to incur substantial legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. Pursuant to Instruction (a) to Item 308 of Regulation S-K, we expect that we will not be subject to management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting until our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, because the market value of our securities held by non-affiliates is below $75 million, we are a smaller reporting company. As such, our independent auditor will not be required to issue an attestation report regarding our internal control over financial reporting in annual reports that we file with the SEC on Form 10-K. We also expect that applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to maintain affordable director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Our use and reliance upon development resources in Israel may expose us to unanticipated costs or liabilities. We have established an office in Israel and expect to continue to increase hiring of personnel for this facility. There is no assurance that our reliance upon development resources in Israel will enable us to achieve greater resource efficiency. Further, our development efforts and other operations in this country involve significant risks, including:

 

   

difficulty hiring and retaining appropriate engineering resources due to intense competition for such resources;

 

   

the knowledge transfer related to our technology and exposure to misappropriation of intellectual property or confidential information, including information that is proprietary to us, our customers and other third parties;

 

   

heightened exposure to changes in the economic, security and political conditions of Israel;

 

   

fluctuation in currency exchange rates and tax risks associated with international operations; and

 

   

development efforts that do not meet our requirements because of language, cultural or other differences associated with international operations, resulting in errors or delays.

Difficulties resulting from the factors above and other risks related to our operations in Israel could expose us to increased expense, impair our development efforts, harm our competitive position and damage our reputation.

Changes in accounting rules may adversely affect the way we report our financial results and the price of our common stock. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these principles and policies could have a significant impact on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions. Changes to these rules may have a material adverse effect on future financial results or in the way in which we conduct our business.

There has never been a trading market for MSDH common stock which may cause the stock price to be volatile. This volatility might keep you from reselling your shares at or above the price on the distribution date. Prior to the distribution, there has been no public market for MSDH common stock. In addition, MSDH has made no formal presentations to potential investors in anticipation of the distribution. MSDH believes the initial trading volume in its common stock will be moderate as investors assess MSDH’s progress as a public, stand-alone company. In addition, MSDH common stock may be followed by few, if any, market analysts and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for the common stock. Furthermore, broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of the common stock, regardless of MSDH’s actual operating performance. Any of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of the MSDH common stock.

REASONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION

The Merger Agreement between Bitstream and Monotype requires the Separation of the Pageflex Products and the BOLT Products from Bitstream to MSDH and the Distribution of MSDH stock to be completed three business days prior to the Bitstream Merger. After thorough consideration, the Board of Directors of Bitstream determined that a spin-off of Pageflex and BOLT through MSDH was in the best interest of the stockholders of Bitstream. The Bitstream Board of Directors considered a number of factors in determining to recommend approval of the spin-off of Pageflex and BOLT, including:

 

   

The necessity of spinning off or selling the Pageflex Products and BOLT Products in order to complete Bitstream’s merger with Monotype;

 

   

Our assumptions regarding the taxation of the Distribution to Bitstream’s stockholder based in part upon the recent valuation analysis that resulted in a valuation for tax purposes of $19.8 million that we completed with respect to all of the assets and liabilities of the Pageflex and Bolt Products and the historical tax returns of Bitstream; and

 

   

The current financial market conditions and the historical market information concerning Bitstream common stock, and the ability of MSDH to become a viable public company and create substantial stockholder value by, among other things, allowing the financial community to focus separately on the Pageflex Products and the BOLT Products.

After reviewing Bitstream’s goals and objectives, exploring its strategic alternatives, and considering other possible methods of enhancing the growth of the Pageflex and BOLT Products, Bitstream’s management and Board of Directors concluded that enhancing those Product lines through the formation of MSDH and the Distribution would be in the best interest of Bitstream stockholders. Specifically, the Bitstream Board of Directors determined that completing the sale of its Fonts products to Monotype Imaging pursuant to the Bitstream Merger and continuing the Pageflex and BOLT operations through MSDH as part of the Distribution was the most tax efficient structure that would yield maximum value to Bitstream’s shareholders both with respect to the cash proceeds of sale and the retained equity in MSDH resulting from the Distribution. In assessing the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution, the Bitstream Board of Directors considered the facts and circumstances listed above and those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors—The Separation of MSDH from Bitstream may disrupt our business and management, negatively affecting our business, operating results or financial condition” on page      of this prospectus. In assessing the facts and circumstances of the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution, the Board of Directors of Bitstream considered the totality of circumstances and did not assign any particular weight to any particular factor in concluding that the transactions were in the best interests of Bitstream’s shareholders.

THE DISTRIBUTION

The Board of Directors of Bitstream has declared a distribution to its stockholders, of one share of MSDH common stock for every share of Bitstream common stock held on                     , the record date for the distribution. As a result of the Distribution, all of the then outstanding MSDH common stock will be distributed to Bitstream’ stockholders. See “Description of Capital Stock.”

As of November 10, 2011, Bitstream has completed internal restructuring transactions related to the MSDH business (the “Separation”). See “Arrangements Between Bitstream and MSDH—Contribution Agreement.” On                     , Bitstream will affect the distribution by delivering all of the MSDH common stock to the custodian for the benefit of the Bitstream stockholders of record as of the record date. On or about                     , the distribution agent will deliver the shares to Computershare, Bitstream’s transfer agent, which will then mail the shares to the Bitstream stockholders of record as of the record date.

Each outstanding option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (the “Bitstream Options”) shall be divided into (i) one option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (each an “Adjusted Bitstream Option”) and (ii) one option to purchase a share of MSDH common stock (each a “New MSDH Option”). Each Adjusted Bitstream Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity compensation plan of Bitstream and as provided in the respective option agreements governing such Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such Adjusted Bitstream Option will be adjusted as described below. Each New MSDH Option shall be issued under the MSDH Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, to be established by MSDH prior to the Distribution Date, but shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such New MSDH Option will be adjusted as described below. In addition, the vesting of all Adjusted Bitstream Options and all New MSDH Options shall be accelerated upon completion of the Bitstream Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Bitstream and MSDH equity compensation plans, as applicable. The New MSDH Option shall be adjusted to the product of the original exercise price of such Bitstream Option multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the estimated enterprise value of MSDH and the denominator of which is the sum of the total consideration in the Bitstream Merger and the estimated enterprise value of MSDH.

The exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and the New MSDH Options will be determined by allocating the exercise price of the original Bitstream Option between the two new options in proportion to the relative value per share of the stock of the two companies. For this purpose, the value of Bitstream stock will be determined by the price to be paid for each share of Bitstream common stock in the Bitstream Merger, and the value of MSDH stock will be based on the estimated enterprise value of MSDH, which is approximately $1.85 per share. Based upon Bitstream’s balance sheet as of                     , 2011 and our estimates of total transaction costs and certain assumptions about our results of operations through the closing date of the merger, we estimate that the price paid to Bitstream shareholders in the Bitstream Merger will be approximately $         per share. Based on these estimates, an existing Bitstream Option with an exercise price of $         per share will be divided into an Adjusted Bitstream Option and a New MSDH Option, and the exercise price of $         per share will be allocated between the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the New MSDH Option as follows:

 

Adjusted Bitstream

Option Exercise Price

   Bitstream Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $     x $     = $     + $1.85      $   

New MSDH Option

Exercise Price

   MSDH Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
  

$1.85 x $     =

$     + $1.85

     $   

No fractional shares of Bitstream common stock are currently outstanding, and no fractional shares of MSDH common stock will be issued as part of the distribution.

Bitstream’s stockholders will not be required to pay any cash or other consideration for the MSDH common stock received in the distribution. The distribution of the MSDH common stock to Bitstream stockholders will, however, have certain material U.S. federal income tax and other consequences, as discussed in this prospectus.

Bitstream will pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the distribution.

ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN BITSTREAM AND MSDH

We have provided below summary descriptions of the Contribution Agreement, the Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreements, the Distribution Agreement, the Tax Indemnity Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement. You should read the full text of these agreements, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Contribution Agreement

On November 10, 2011 (the “Separation Date”), Bitstream and MSDH entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) which provided for the transfer by Bitstream to MSDH of all assets and liabilities relating to the Pageflex Products and BOLT Products. The Contribution Agreement defines the assets that Bitstream transferred to MSDH and the corresponding liabilities that were assumed from Bitstream.

Contribution of Assets from Bitstream to MSDH

Effective on the Separation Date, Bitstream transferred and assigned the following assets (the “Transferred Assets”) to MSDH:

 

   

all contracts, leases or subleases of personal property, leases or subleases of real property, licenses, agreements, commitments and all other legally binding arrangements of Bitstream related exclusively to the Pageflex or BOLT Products;

 

   

all tangible personal property and interests therein, including machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings of Bitstream relating solely and exclusively to the Pageflex or BOLT Products;

 

   

all assets reflected on MSDH’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, minus any assets disposed of after June 30, 2011;

 

   

all written off, expensed or fully depreciated assets that would have appeared on MSDH’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 if MSDH had not written off, expensed or fully depreciated them;

 

   

all assets that the MSDH business exclusively uses with respect to the Pageflex Products and the BOLT Products as of the Separation Date but that are not reflected in MSDH’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 due to mistake or omission;

 

   

all rights, claims and credits, including all guarantees, warranties, indemnities and similar rights in favor of Bitstream relating solely and exclusively to the Pageflex or the BOLT Products;

 

   

all accounts receivable and other rights to payment for goods and services payable to Bitstream as of the Separation Date that relate solely and exclusively to the Transferred Assets;

 

   

all books and records, customers’ and suppliers’ lists, other distribution lists, sales and promotional literature, manuals, customer and supplier correspondence of Bitstream relating solely and exclusively to the Pageflex or BOLT Products;

 

   

all rights in the trade and service marks and domain names incorporating or based on the names Pageflex or BOLT;

 

   

all of the outstanding equity of Bitstream Israel Ltd. owned by Bitstream;

 

   

all licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals from any governmental authority of Bitstream that relate solely and exclusively to the Pageflex or BOLT Products;

 

   

all credits, deferred charges and prepaid items of Bitstream that relate solely and exclusively to the Pageflex or BOLT Products; and

Table of Contents

Assumption of Liabilities

Effective on the Separation Date, MSDH assumed the following liabilities from Bitstream (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

 

   

all liabilities and obligations of Bitstream relating to the Transferred Assets, the Separation and the Pageflex or BOLT Products;

 

   

any and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges, duties, impositions and liabilities imposed by any governmental entity, together with all interest, penalties and additions imposed with respect to such amounts, attributable or relating to the Transferred Assets or the Separation;

 

   

the liabilities of Bitstream under Bitstream equity or other compensation awards;

 

   

all liabilities reflected as liabilities on MSDH’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, minus any liabilities that were discharged after such date of the balance sheet; and

 

   

all liabilities that are primarily related to or primarily arise out of the MSDH business relating to the Pageflex Products or the BOLT Products, or the operation of any business conducted by MSDH, at the Separation Date but are not reflected in MSDH’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 due to mistake or omission.

Indemnification

MSDH agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bitstream, its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns from, against and in respect of any damages, losses, claims or liabilities (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of MSDH’s failure to satisfy any of the Assumed Liabilities.

Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreements

On the Separation Date, Bitstream and MSDH entered into two intellectual property assignment and license agreements. One intellectual property assignment and license agreement pertains to the Pageflex Product’s intellectually property (the “Pageflex IPAL”) and the other intellectual property assignment and license agreement pertains to intellectual property related to the BOLT Products (the “BOLT IPAL”).

Pageflex IPAL

Under the Pageflex IPAL, Bitstream assigned certain intellectual property related to the Pageflex Products to us including patents, software, trademarks and other specified assets. Also, certain software that Bitstream continues to own after the Separation Date that is used in connection with the Pageflex Products was licensed by Bitstream to MSDH on a non-exclusive basis. The licenses from Bitstream to MSDH shall be assignable to an acquirer or a successor-in-interest in the event MSDH undergoes a change of control.

BOLT IPAL

Under the BOLT IPAL, Bitstream assigned certain intellectual property related to the BOLT Products to us including patents, software, trademarks and other specified assets. Additionally, certain intellectual property rights that Bitstream continues to own after the Separation Date that are used or could be used in connection with the BOLT Products were licensed by Bitstream to MSDH on a non-exclusive basis. We also have non-exclusively license certain intellectual property rights, which Bitstream assigned to us in the BOLT IPAL, back to Bitstream. The licenses from Bitstream to MSDH are assignable to an acquirer or a successor-in-interest in the event MSDH undergoes a change of control.

Distribution Agreement

Bitstream and MSDH have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) that contains the key provisions relating to the Distribution.

Table of Contents

Cash to be Transferred to MSDH

On the Distribution Date, Bitstream will provide to MSDH approximately $         million in cash. Prior to the Distribution Date, MSDH will continue to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream and Bitstream is required to continue to fund all of MSDH’s operating expenses. MSDH believes that the contribution of approximately $         million from Bitstream to MSDH on or about the Distribution Date, together with MSDH’s expected revenue in 2012, will provide MSDH with sufficient working capital through at least September 30, 2012.

The Distribution

On the Distribution Date, Bitstream intends to distribute the shares of common stock of MSDH that Bitstream holds to Bitstream stockholders. Bitstream may, in its sole discretion, change the distribution date. Bitstream intends to consummate the distribution only if the following conditions are met (any of which may be waived by Bitstream):

 

   

all required government approvals must be in effect; and

 

   

no legal restraints must exist preventing the distribution.

Termination of the Agreement

Both Bitstream and MSDH must agree to terminate the Distribution Agreement and all ancillary agreements for a termination to be effective at any time between the closing of this offering and the distribution.

Tax Indemnity Agreement

MSDH has entered into a Tax Indemnity Agreement with Bitstream pursuant to which MSDH will indemnify Bitstream on an after tax basis from and against taxes imposed on Bitstream by reason of Distribution of the MSDH stock to the shareholders of Bitstream (including any taxes imposed on Bitstream with respect to indemnity payments made by Bitstream to MSDH pursuant to the Tax Indemnity Agreement). MSDH is not responsible under the Tax Indemnity Agreement for tax liabilities of Bitstream resulting from certain actions taken by Bitstream after the planned merger. Provided that certain requirements are satisfied, MSDH has the right under the Tax Indemnity Agreement to require Bitstream to contest the assertion by a taxing authority of a tax deficiency if MSDH would be required to indemnify Bitstream for such deficiency.

Transition Services Agreement

MSDH has entered into a transition services agreement with Monotype covering the provision of various transitional services, including information technology, data migration, finance, accounting and financial reporting services by MSDH to Bitstream and product support services to be provided by Bitstream to MSDH. All infrastructure hardware and software (including, but not limited to, telecommunications, networks, servers, desktop computers and enterprise applications, unless prohibited by a third party) shall be owned by MSDH. The services to be provided by MSDH to Bitstream will generally be provided at a rate of $100 per hour for the first 80 hours of finance, accounting and financial reporting transition services, and $200 per hour thereafter, and $100 per hour for information technology and data migration services. The transition services agreement will generally have a term of six months from the date of the Distribution.

Merger Agreement

Obligations of MSDH and Bitstream

The Merger Agreement between Bitstream and Monotype requires the Distribution to be completed three business days prior to the Bitstream Merger. Under the Merger Agreement, Bitstream is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain stockholder approval of the planned merger and to complete the Distribution as promptly as practicable. Under the Distribution Agreement, Bitstream and MSDH are obligated to

use their reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part declared effective by the SEC, to complete the registration or qualification of the MSDH shares of common stock under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and to qualify the MSDH common stock for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board.

Options

Each outstanding option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (the “Bitstream Options”) shall be divided into (i) one option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (each an “Adjusted Bitstream Option”) and (ii) one option to purchase a share of MSDH common stock (each a “New MSDH Option”). Each Adjusted Bitstream Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity compensation plan of Bitstream and as provided in the respective option agreements governing such Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such Adjusted Bitstream Option will be adjusted as described below. Each New MSDH Option shall be issued under the MSDH Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, to be established by MSDH prior to the Distribution Date, but shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such New MSDH Option will be adjusted as described below. In addition, the vesting of all Adjusted Bitstream Options and all New MSDH Options shall be accelerated upon completion of the Bitstream Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Bitstream and MSDH equity compensation plans, as applicable. The New MSDH Option shall be adjusted to the product of the original exercise price of such Bitstream Option multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the estimated enterprise value of MSDH and the denominator of which is the sum of the total consideration in the Bitstream Merger and the estimated enterprise value of MSDH.

The exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and the New MSDH Options will be determined by allocating the exercise price of the original Bitstream Option between the two new options in proportion to the relative value per share of the stock of the two companies. For this purpose, the value of Bitstream stock will be determined by the price to be paid for each share of Bitstream common stock in the Bitstream Merger, and the value of MSDH stock will be based on the estimated enterprise value of MSDH, which is approximately $1.85 per share. Based upon Bitstream’s balance sheet as of                     , 2011 and our estimates of total transaction costs and certain assumptions about our results of operations through the closing date of the merger, we estimate that the price paid to Bitstream shareholders in the Bitstream Merger will be approximately $         per share. Based on these estimates, an existing Bitstream Option with an exercise price of $         per share will be divided into an Adjusted Bitstream Option and a New MSDH Option, and the exercise price of $         per share will be allocated between the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the New MSDH Option as follows:

 

Adjusted Bitstream

Option Exercise Price

   Bitstream Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $     x $     =
$     + $1.85
     $   

New MSDH Option

Exercise Price

   MSDH Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $1.85 x $     =

$     + $1.85

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On November 10, 2011, Bitstream transferred and assigned all of the assets and liabilities relating to, arising from or in connection with Bitstream’s Pageflex and Bolt product lines to MSDH, also termed the Separation. Also, on November 10, 2011, the board of directors of Bitstream voted to authorize the distribution of shares of MSDH on a one for one basis to holders of Bitstream common stock owned on                     , 2011. The completion of the Separation and Distribution is a condition precedent to the planned Bitstream Merger and must be completed three business days prior to the effective time of the Bitstream Merger.

On June 3, 2010, Bitstream completed the acquisition of certain of the assets of Press-sense Ltd.(“Press-sense”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 31, 2010 by and among Bitstream, Bitstream Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSDH organized under the Laws of Israel and by the court appointed Special Manager of Press-sense LTD, an Israeli company in temporary liquidation under the supervision of the District Court of Haifa.

The purchase price of $6,528,000, including $28,000 of VAT, was paid in cash. Assets purchased include all Press-sense software and know-how and related intellectual property rights (both source code and object code), fixed and tangible assets, trademarks, transferable licenses, and customer data (the “Business Acquired”). Bitstream did not assume any of the known or unknown liabilities of Press-Sense and its subsidiaries.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheets and statements of operations, together referred to as the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”, should be read in conjunction with:

 

   

The accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements;

 

   

The audited financial historical financial statements of MSDH as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

 

   

The unaudited historical financial statement of MSDH as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet gives effect to the Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger as if they had occurred on September 30, 2011. Our pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 does not give effect to pro forma adjustments for the acquisition of the assets of Press-sense as the acquisition is already reflected in our balance sheet as of September 30, 2011. Our unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations have been prepared giving effect to the Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger as if they had occurred on January 1, 2010 and the acquisition of Press-sense Ltd. as if it had occurred on January 1, 2010. Our unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 gives no effect for pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense as the acquisition has already been reflected in our historical financial statements for the full period.

The historical financial information for MSDH is derived from the unaudited balance sheet and statement of operations of MSDH as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, included elsewhere in this prospectus. MSDH will not have operated as a standalone company prior to the Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger. The historical MSDH balance sheet generally reflects the financial position of MSDH as if it had been a separate entity as of September 30, 2011. Only those assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable to the MSDH business or those assets and liabilities that were used primarily by the MSDH business have been included in the balance sheet of MSDH. The MSDH statements of operations reflect revenue directly attributable to the MSDH business as well as costs and expenses that were specifically identified to MSDH. For those costs that were impractical to designate to a business or were shared by the Bitstream business and the MSDH business, primarily general & administrative costs, allocations were made based on the most relevant measure, such as headcount and product line revenue.

Table of Contents

The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet includes adjustments for all amounts that will be distributed to MSDH as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement between Bitstream and MSDH. This consists primarily of cash and non-specific assets and liabilities that are being distributed to MSDH. The proforma statements of operations include adjustments to reflect expenses that will be borne by MSDH after consummation of the contribution agreement.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared based on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and are intended for informational purposes only; they are not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Separation, Distribution, Bitstream Merger or the Press-Sense acquisition occurred at the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project our future financial position or results of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements

(in thousands)

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheets and statements of operations reflect the effect of the following pro forma adjustments. Pro forma adjustments reflect only those adjustments which are directly attributable to the transactions and factually determinable.

Pro forma adjustments related to the Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger:

 

  (A) Adjustment to record the cash distributed to MSDH as part of the Separation under the terms of the Distribution Agreement. On or prior to the effective date of the Distribution, Bitstream will provide to MSDH all cash of Bitstream and its subsidiaries less amounts, if any, withheld by Bitstream to pay liabilities of Bitstream accrued through the effective date of the Distribution which are not included as liabilities in the calculation of adjustments to the merger consideration under the Merger Agreement, thereby reducing such merger consideration.

 

  (B) Adjustment to record the prepaid expense related to Bitstream’s general corporate insurance, prepaid insurance related to the employees of Bitstream who will become MSDH’s employees due to the separation and other adjustments for other current assets that will be transferred to MSDH as part of the Separation. The unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 does not include assets and liabilities related to general use corporate assets or general & administrative employees unless utilized primarily by MSDH. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, assets and liabilities relating to general use corporate assets and relating to employees in the general and administrative functions will be transferred to MSDH, unless specifically excluded as part of the merger.

 

  (C) Adjustments to record accrued payroll and compensations for the employees of Bitstream who will become MSDH’s employees under the terms of the Contribution Agreement as well as adjustments to record other current liabilities that will be assigned to MSDH as part of the Separation. The unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 does not include assets and liabilities related to general use corporate assets or general & administrative employees unless utilized primarily by MSDH. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, assets and liabilities relating to general use corporate assets and relating to employees in the general and administrative functions will be transferred to MSDH, unless specifically excluded as part of the merger.

 

  (D) Adjustment to record the par value of the shares to be issued in the Distribution.

The Company has determined that under the provisions of the Bitstream option plans they are obligated to issue options to existing Bitstream option holders for the purchase of MSDH shares in order that the Bitstream option holders would not be diluted as a result of the planned merger and Distribution. Accordingly, there is no charge for MSDH to record upon issuance of these options, and the Company has not reflected any pro forma adjustment related to the MSDH option issuance in these unaudited pro forma statements.

 

  (E) Adjustment to record the additional contributions from Bitstream resulting from the Contribution Agreement.

 

  (F) Adjustments to record costs related to salary and wages, stock option compensation and employee benefits, depreciation expenses and facilities cost for the employees of Bitstream who were shared employees of Bitstream and MSDH but who will become either Bitstream or MSDH employees under the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 include an allocation of the expenses for shared employees to Bitstream and MSDH. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, shared employees, other than those specifically excluded, will become employees of MSDH.

 

26


Table of Contents
  (G) Adjustments to record additional salary and wages, directors’ compensation, stock option compensation and employee benefits, depreciation expenses and facilities cost for the general and administrative employees of Bitstream who will become MSDH’s employees under the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 include only a portion of the expenses for general & administrative expenses as these were shared employees and directors. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, general & administrative employees, other than those specifically excluded, will become employees of MSDH.

BUSINESS

Overview

After the completion of the sale of the Fonts Products resulting from the Bitstream Merger with Monotype, MSDH will continue to conduct the operations of Bitstream with respect to the Pageflex Products and the BOLT Products as follows:

Automated Marketing Communication and Print Production Technologies. The Pageflex® product line enables companies across the globe to communicate their marketing messages more easily and effectively. It is the advanced technology for brand management, web-to-print applications, print automation and sophisticated personalized communications based on customer information. We pioneered flexible variable data software in 1997 and have been a technology innovator in the document customization arena ever since. The platform produces rich, creative, award-winning document designs that look like they were given the individual attention of a graphic designer but were, in reality, created on-the-fly with Pageflex variable publishing technology. Print service providers, marketing service providers, corporate marketers, and publishers use Pageflex Products to ensure design integrity and brand control while empowering local users to customize and personalize print collateral, email campaigns, and 1-to-1 marketing Web sites. Pageflex Persona™ is desktop software that produces personalized print and email documents using data from a database. Pageflex Studio ID is a plug-in to Adobe InDesign for producing personalized print pieces. Pageflex Storefront is a turnkey solution for producing web portals for document customization and online purchasing of print documents. Pageflex Server provides an enterprise solution for high-volume document customization driven by a database or requests from a web site. Pageflex iWay provides business flow automation for printing companies. Pageflex Campaign Manager lets companies develop personal conversations with their customers in print, email, and online. Pageflex PagePop is an app for the iPad that allows users to easily manage PDF documents. Pageflex Products enable companies worldwide to manage, streamline, and automate their document production processes, communicate more personally with their customers, and control their brand and market messaging while enabling their remote employees, franchises, and consumers to use a self-serve model to order customized communications. Pageflex Products are purchased by both corporations and the printing companies that support them, who also use the software to control and track production processes in order to improve their business ROI.

Mobile Browsing Technologies. BOLT® provides a consistent, full desktop-style browsing experience on almost any handset. BOLT was released into private beta in January 2009, and through March 2011, BOLT has been installed over 20 million times by mobile phone users looking for a better mobile browsing experience. The BOLT mobile browser offers faithful rendering of Web pages and it is the only browser for mobile phones of all types to support streaming video from popular media sharing sites such as YouTube and MySpace. Compatible with most handsets that support the J2ME or BREW/BMP operating systems, BOLT’s advanced features include video support, W3C based widget support, direct Facebook and Twitter integration, six levels of magnification, international localization, copy/paste, FOTA updates, and additional usability features such as auto-complete url, save page, secure browsing, patented split-screen minimap, password manager, rss subscriptions, automatic socket support, history and keypad shortcuts. BOLT is a WebKit-based cloud computing mobile browser. This cloud computing architecture is the key to BOLT’s capabilities. Web pages are first loaded by the BOLT servers, then transcoded and sent to the BOLT mobile browser client on handsets. This client/server approach maintains the integrity of Web page layouts, reduces packet consumption on data networks, dramatically improves page load speeds, and enables advanced features such as video streaming.

Products and Markets Overview

Automated Marketing Communication and Print Production Technologies

Printing is one of the oldest industries of the world. Over the course of the last twenty years, the printing industry has undergone a revolution, evolving traditional methods of printing to digital technologies. Digital printing technologies provide substantial flexibility in printing services, a wide array of internet applications, economies

of scale, the ability to achieve substantial personalization, and newer, more efficient methods of procurement and production. In the past several years, corporate marketing departments have learned to take advantage of the internet as a new marketing medium. These departments are becoming familiar with the qualities and opportunities of the internet as a medium, such as the abilities to update information quickly and easily, to generate content pages dynamically directly from corporate databases, and to personalize the customer experience. At the same time, companies are realizing the increased customer loyalty and profits that result from treating customers as individuals. They recognize the importance of identifying their most valuable customers and lavishing attention on them in a way tailored specifically to their needs. While we saw these trends begin in the United States, we now see the adoption of these techniques in developed and emerging countries worldwide, especially by multi-national corporations. To implement one-to-one communications, marketing communications must be moved from a one-size-fits-all approach to a custom manufacturing model, in which thousands of variations can be produced at low cost. With the advent of high-speed color printers and digital presses, it is no longer cost-prohibitive to print smaller quantities, whether for localized marketing materials (short-run) or for one-to-one personalized materials (a run of one).

Our automated marketing communication and print production products, which are marketed and sold under the Pageflex brand, use intelligent, flexible templates to automatically assemble customized content—logos, imagery, illustrations, and text—in print, bitmap, or HTML formats for production through a wide range of digital print output devices, the web, and e-mail. Pageflex templates are based on the principle of separating document content—raw information—from document design—how the page is laid out, what fonts and colors are used, and how images are sized and positioned. The copyfitting and placement rules, together with permissions that govern user ability to change elements, are built into each design template by the designer. Content providers can modify and add their content with little or no design skill. Document designs originally developed in Quark Xpress can be imported into Pageflex through the use of a Pageflex Xtension that enables documents to be exported to the Pageflex XML data format. Similar capabilities exist for document designs originating in Adobe InDesign or companies can choose to use Pageflex’s line of plug-in products that produce customized documents directly from Adobe InDesign.

In 2010, Bitstream acquired the assets and intellectual property of Press-Sense Ltd., a private, venture-capital funded company in Israel, and integrated the company’s products, customers, and OEM relationships into the Pageflex Products. These products deepen the Pageflex portfolio in the web-to-print space with a particular emphasis on managing the production process and business flow automation in printing companies.

Web-to-print started with the onset of e-commerce in the 1990s. It was defined as a commercial pre-press process that bridged the gap between digital content online and commercial print production. Initially, the electronic (“e”) enablement of business processes concerned the marketing, selling, buying, and production of printed products, and dramatically changed the long-established order of the graphic communications value chain. In the ensuing years, this concept of e-business services has matured and further expanded to encompass a much broader scope of products and services, including:

 

   

fully-functioning job ordering and specification;

 

   

job tracking;

 

   

customizable storefronts;

 

   

document and template customization with variable data capabilities;

 

   

multi-channel campaign management;

 

   

digital asset management;

 

   

inventory control; and

 

   

integration with production workflow to streamline operational efficiency.

Based on a robust feature set, these systems are enabling broader multi-channel internet services. Today, we define web-to-print as a browser-based application that facilitates commerce, collaboration, and/or customer service interaction between those who buy print products and those who sell them. Pageflex has developed two leading edge and well-known complementary brands of web-to-print solutions. Pageflex Storefront enables medium and large- size printers and corporate enterprises to grow their businesses by offering new marketing services. Pageflex iWay enables in-plants and small and medium-size printers to increase the production efficiency of their print shop.

The Pageflex Products consist of:

Desktop Applications

Pageflex Persona Cross Media Suite is a desktop software application enabling targeted and personalized content in both print and e-mail. The product incorporates award-winning variable data and cross-media functionality from Pageflex into a desktop application. It is the only desktop application on the market to enable database-driven personalized output in both print and e-mail. Among its compelling features are cross-media capabilities for creating coordinated print and e-mail marketing campaigns, variable-length document capabilities, flexible layouts, and the ability to compose text in more than 60 languages, including Japanese and Chinese. Another key capability is its cross compatibility with Pageflex server-class products, meaning all templates, variables, and projects can be easily reused for web-to-print applications, providing a variety of options for migration and expanded Pageflex configurations.

Pageflex Studio ID is a variable data plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS4 and CS5 enabling the personalization and customization of print documents. Users utilize an additional Pageflex Studio ID palette within InDesign to create variables, business rules, action scripts, and print settings for each data run. The plug-in is also used to prepare customizable templates for use in Pageflex Server and Pageflex Storefront, Bitstream’s award-winning web-to-print offering. It is available on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Server Applications

Pageflex Server is an enterprise-level variable data solution that can be plugged into any workflow. It can be used for offline variable data processing in which orders are taken in through traditional means (email, FTP, etc.) and is also ideal for jobs that run on a regular basis (with updated mail list data). Some Pageflex Server customers use it as the backend variable data print (VDP) engine behind a web-to-print site that they have developed themselves; others use it independent of a web-to-print offering. Companies use Pageflex Server to automate the production of business cards and correspondence, marketing brochures and booklets, advertising and signage, photo books and yearbooks, and much more. Pageflex Server works with both the patented Pageflex NuDoc composition engine, which features flexible documents that adjust dynamically based on the size or shape of the variable content added, or the industry-standard Adobe InDesign Server for the ultimate in graphic design features. Pageflex Server can scale to handle high volumes of jobs, and its robust 24x7 architecture includes server cluster scalability, queue-based load balancing, fail-over protection, centralized licensing and administration, and an extensible platform and APIs for end-to-end workflow integration with existing production and business systems.

Pageflex Storefront, Pageflex’s most popular direct-sale product, provides companies with an easy-to-use online platform for creating, customizing, and distributing all types of documents. Pageflex Storefront saves end users time and money, and gives them brand control, business growth opportunities, and the ability to streamline their internal processes. This turnkey solution includes user account, shopping cart and order management, as well as personalization and customization technology for online document editing. Pageflex Storefront has been installed in over 2,000 applications by more than 500 active customers. Pageflex Storefront was a winner of the prestigious GATF InterTech Technology Award for 2005, which is recognized industry-wide as a mark of excellence and innovation. The judges described the system as “elegant”, “user friendly”, and “amazingly

powerful”. Pageflex Storefront has gone on to win numerous other industry awards as we have enhanced the product with capabilities specific to business-to-business and business-to-consumer sites, integrations with third-party print production systems that enable streamlined and automated workflows, and product internationalization. Pageflex Storefront is customizable, allowing companies to give their web site a unique look and feel, a workflow that meets their users’ needs, and the ability to seamlessly integrate it with other systems within their organization, for example a digital asset management system, a CRM system, mail list databases, production workflow systems, or an MIS product.

Similar to Pageflex Server, the document templates offered on the site can be designed using the patented Pageflex NuDoc composition engine or the industry-standard Adobe InDesign Server.

Pageflex SaaS (Software as a Service) is a new offering from Bitstream. It is a fast, easy and cost-effective way for businesses to start reaping the benefits of Pageflex Storefront without making a large financial investment in software, hardware, and IT resources. We host and manage the servers and all of the IT infrastructure work to keep the site up and running. The Basic Option includes the critical features companies need to quickly and easily get started with Web-to-Print:

 

   

One live store and the administration site to manage it;

 

   

One demo/staging site that can be used to demonstrate the web-to-print capabilities;

 

   

Domain and SSL certificate purchase and setup;

 

   

One copy of Pageflex Studio;

 

   

Access to our “Getting Started” video training series and full documentation; and

 

   

Full access to Pageflex’s experienced support team.

We also offer a Quick Start Option that includes everything in the Basic Option and, for an additional fee, the creation and configuration of ten key products to help the company start selling right out of the gate.

Pageflex iWay is a complete end-to-end web-to-print workflow and print management platform. It brings together web-based ordering, pre-press, production and delivery, and fully automates these processes for digital and hybrid print service providers of all sizes. The product increases the capacity of the jobs flowing into the print provider’s production facility, while accelerating throughput, reducing associated labor costs, and automating job management. Pageflex iWay allows the Print Service Provider to create diverse business workflows ranging from simple, 3-click reprint orders for inexperienced users to more sophisticated, customized workflows that can include variable information (VI), approval cycles, cost centers, branded sites, login-dependent launch pads or guest logins, for example. Pageflex iWay increases both buyer loyalty and customer satisfaction, while providing print managers with valuable business data. Pageflex iWay has been installed in over 1,700 applications by more than 700 active customers.

Pageflex Sales Manager is a print management solution that combines MIS, CRM and asset management functionality to manage the job cycle at an affordable price. It enables small commercial print houses and print-on-demand suppliers to take on small jobs with confidence that their profit will not be eaten up by the hassle and costs of print management.

By merging front-end CRM capabilities with back-end billing and fulfillment processes, Pageflex Sales Manager provides an easy to use solution for managing the full business flow. Working together with Pageflex iWay, Pageflex Sales Manager seamlessly integrates offline business flows, such as phone and walk-in orders, with web-based front and back-end system, providing a robust solution for managing the full print business flow. It enables capture of orders from a variety of additional sources, such as a Customer Service Representative, email, phone, fax and walk-in. Pageflex Sales Manager optimizes all print business flows to reduce job handling time and eliminate the problems that can easily occur when business flow and print management are not handled in a systematic way.

Pageflex Sales Manager enhances efficiency and customer communications while also eliminating the costs typically incurred by the need to configure multiple systems and fragmented databases. Enhanced tracking capabilities make it easy to efficiently manage pre-production, production, delivery and billing.

Pageflex Campaign Manager addresses the growing industry trend that requires marketers to show measurable results for all expenditures, while also increasing the company (or product) relationship with each customer. Pageflex Campaign Manager simplifies the process of creating a multi-touch marketing campaign, while providing robust reporting capabilities to track a campaign’s success. It allows marketers to focus on crafting the marketing message, not the mechanism for getting it distributed.

Pageflex Campaign Manager is used to produce printed direct mail, email, and Web microsites, with each of these components being personalized for the individual recipient. The direct mail and email components can contain a personalized URL (pURL) that the recipient can visit online. At the resulting Web microsite the Web content can be personalized and customized for the individual based on demographic or buying information that is known about them. Pageflex Campaign Manager can be used to develop surveys on the Web microsite pages to gather additional information about the customer. An API enables integration with CRM and other business systems. The system can generate follow-up emails to the individual, alerts to the appropriate sales person, and follow-up print mailings. A refer-a-friend feature allows recipients to pass the campaign along to others or for visitors to a website to self-register to be part of the campaign.

Pageflex Campaign Manager includes a password-protected online dashboard where the marketer can view in real-time an accurate, detailed account of the effectiveness of each component used in the multi-touch marketing campaign. Individual recipients are tracked, including how many times they are touched and their responses to online surveys. Overall campaign statistics can be viewed and analyzed.

Associated Software Products

Pageflex NuDoc is an advanced document composition engine based on the principle of separating form from content. Leveraging object-oriented technology, NuDoc is a reusable building block for document processing applications. NuDoc object classes provide an application programming interface (API) that supports the importing, editing, displaying, or printing of electronic documents. One of the important strengths of NuDoc is its ability to dynamically create layout-intensive pages through the import of separate content and style files.

Pageflex Studio is the desktop publishing application that is used to create variable data templates for all NuDoc-based Pageflex server applications. Pageflex Studio is the project management hub where templates are graphically designed, variability is added, flex is assigned to page elements, and production settings are defined.

Pageflex Chart adds beautiful, visually-rich charts to variable data projects. It offers creative freedom with seven of the most common 2D and 3D chart formats and a wide-array of options for customizing the look and feel of each format to compliment the document design in which they will be placed. Pageflex Chart works in conjunction with Pageflex Persona Cross Media Suite, Pageflex Storefront, or Pageflex Server.

We design our automated marketing communication and print production to support technological standards. We are a founding member of the Print On Demand Initiative (PODi), an alliance of key vendors and service providers working in the digital color printing market. PODi members include Canon, Electronics for Imaging (EFI), Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Konica Minolta, and Xerox. We also actively participate in the PODi standards development group, which has written and released a PPML standard harmonizing the ten vendor-specific proprietary protocols currently used to drive digital presses at high speed into one open standard supporting PostScript and PDF. Our automated marketing communication and print production software, since its inception, has sought to drive all brands of digital printers. With strong input from MSDH, PPML has been adopted as a standard across the industry, and we continue to play a leading role in this standardization program. In February 2007, Pageflex was the industry’s first PPML producer to receive PPML Certification from PODi. In 2010,

Pageflex again led the industry by becoming the first authoring application in the market to produce PDF/VT files, the PDF-based document-description format and emerging ISO standard for exchanging variable data publishing jobs.

Product Service and Maintenance

Pageflex is committed to continuous product improvements and innovations. Having been in the market for many years, Pageflex is well aware of market needs and trends, is continuously updating its product offerings and regularly releases service packs several times each year and new product versions every twelve to eighteen months. As of November 30, 2011, we had forty software research and development professionals dedicated to product improvements and innovations. In addition as of November 30, 2011 Pageflex has approximately eighteen customer support professionals dedicated to providing technical support services to both OEMs and end users.

Mobile Browsing Technology

Mobile browsers are a core offering to mobile device manufacturers, operators and software developers throughout the world. Bitstream created the next generation of its mobile browsing technology under the name “BOLT” and released the first version as part of private beta in January 2009. Following this beta, BOLT was launched into public beta in February 2009 to gain additional feedback from potential users and to ensure scalability for mass deployment. BOLT was launched out of beta in October 2009 with the release of BOLT 1.5.

BOLT is a cloud powered mobile browser available for Android (Phones and Tablets), Blackberry, Java, and BREW mobile phones. BOLT’s cloud computing based WebKit architecture offloads much of the heavy lifting of serving web content to the cloud, making it fast and economical for wireless networks. With a host of advanced browsing features including lightning fast streaming video and other advanced media viewing capabilities, BOLT offers the most feature-rich, desktop-style browsing experience to users worldwide. BOLT has always featured tight social networking integration, and BOLT on Android devices improves upon previous versions with the addition of a new social tab, dedicated to Facebook. This tab allows for even faster sharing of websites, blogs, YouTube videos and status updates, without having to login to Facebook each time.

BOLT offers ultra-fast downloads of streaming and flash video allowing users to enjoy YouTube, CNN, MTV, ESPN and more, even if the users’ device does not support Flash videos. By compressing Flash videos with new adaptive streaming technology, BOLT ensures quick and economical video playback even on slow networks.

The BOLT product line includes the following:

 

   

BOLT™ Browser, a cloud powered WebKit-based browser for mobile phones of all types. Features include all of those described above.

 

   

BOLT™ Lite, a reduced footprint version of BOLT Browser designed for lower end feature phones with certain features removed.

 

   

BOLT™ Library SDK, a software developers kit that enables third party applications or software developers to display Web pages within their applications.

In addition to the other achievements of BOLT for 2011, BOLT won “Best Mobile App for Tablet or Smartphone” in the annual 4G World Awards, held during the 4G World conference in October 2011. 4G World is the largest event in the world covering the entire ecosystem of next generation technologies and business models that power the mobile Internet industry.

As of September 30, 2011, BOLT has generated minimal revenue and is not a self-sustaining product.

We intend to continue to broaden our customer base through increased marketing efforts, by developing relationships with systems integrators, OEMs, and partners, and by introducing new product offerings and third party integrations that expand the use of our products and the markets which they serve.

Research and Development

We are committed to developing innovative software to enhance communications. The majority of our resources are committed to advancing our automated marketing communication and print production technologies to meet the needs of an expanding market. To accomplish these goals, we have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources in research and development.

Our research and development activities produced the following:

 

   

BOLT 2.3. Bitstream released the latest commercial version of the BOLT browser. Building on the popularity of BOLT beta’s best-of-breed page rendering, fast page load speeds, integration with social networking sites and video support, version 2.3 added user-requested features such as HTML5 audio streaming, inline text editing, cloud-based backup of customer’s favorites and the addition of Ustream.tv to the long international list of popular Flash video sites supported by BOLT. In November 2010, we also announced that BOLT browser is available with complete Indic language support.

 

   

BOLT Lite. BOLT Lite contains all the essential features of the BOLT mobile browser, retaining BOLT’s feature-rich functionality, best-of-breed download speeds and desktop PC-style page layout. BOLT Lite’s 150KB package was optimized for entry-level devices by eliminating BOLT’s non-critical features such as landscape orientation settings, inline videos, transport protocol settings, copy-paste operations, favorites organization, inline editing, find in page feature, and 3XL magnification.

 

   

BOLT™ Library SDK, a software developers kit that enables third party applications or software developers to display Web pages within their applications.

 

   

PDF/VT support, a PDF-based document-description format that is optimized for production of variable-data documents and will allow faster and more efficient production and consistent quality in the production of variable data documents. PDF/VT is a new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) industry standard for exchanging variable data jobs with digital presses. Pageflex was the first authoring application to come to market with PDF/VT output capabilities.

 

   

Pageflex 7.7 brought enhancements to all server-based Pageflex Products. The majority of the new functionality was within the Pageflex Storefront product, including support for being able to offer multi-channel campaigns created in Pageflex Campaign Manager within Storefront. This release also improved font handling, allowing users to manage fonts for a specific project or deployment instead of using Windows font management. Pageflex Storefront 7 introduced new image handling tools, including the ability for users to crop uploaded images, and to automatically preflight uploaded images

to verify resolution, color space, and file format. In addition, support for VAT-style tax-inclusive pricing was enhanced – an important feature for an international audience. Finally, a number of extensions were rolled into the core product, an ongoing effort that will continue to improve product features and stability, and the Adobe PDF library was updated to version 9.1.

 

   

Pageflex SaaS. After concluding a pilot program in 2010 we introduced Pageflex SaaS, a software as a service offering for the web-to-print market. We signed our first customers in the first quarter of 2011 and started to recognize revenue in the second quarter. Although SaaS revenue is not yet material we expect SaaS revenue and customer acquisition to increase during 2012. Based on Pageflex Storefront, this is a new a comprehensive service, which provides users with the tools, technology and expertise they need to quickly and easily expand their business by selling customized documents and items online. Pageflex hosts the software and manages all of the IT infrastructure. Users subscribe to the service on a monthly basis and have access to a full range of services, including online web catalogs (business-to-business and business-to consumer), full e-commerce capabilities, and an add-on “Quick Start” option in which Pageflex does the initial site design and configuration of key products in the web-to-print storefront.

 

   

Pageflex Product Integrations. Integrations of third party products with our Pageflex Products continue to provide additional functionality to our customers’ applications. In 2010, we completed the following third party integrations:

 

   

Enhanced an existing Pageflex Storefront integration with the PrintStream fulfillment management system to enable customers to send mixed orders of print-on-demand and fulfillment items directly from Pageflex Storefront to PrintStream via the flexible API developed by Pageflex.

 

   

An integration that lets customers quickly and easily extract data from their Salesforce Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for use in their projects in Pageflex Storefront.

 

   

An extension that gives customers the ability from within Pageflex Storefront to access, purchase, and download mailing lists from LeadsPlease, a provider of mailing leads sourced by Experian, the respected global information services company.

 

   

Added payment support in Pageflex Storefront for PayPal Express Checkout, Payments Standard, and Google Checkout. Customers are redirected from Pageflex Storefront to the chosen payment vendor’s site to enter credit card information. This alleviates compliance issues for the merchant and moves them to the payment vendor.

 

   

Included support for Payflow Pro, Authorize.Net, and other custom payment modules within a new budget extension for Pageflex Storefront that allows the user to pay for an order by using partial budget funds and partial credit card payment.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded research and development expenses of $3,273, $5,514 and $5,154, respectively.

Our current research and development strategy is focused on several enhancements to our existing products, updating our products to deliver them in new markets and through new access points, integrating our products with each other and with third party products, and developing new software products to deliver to our customers. In the summer of 2011, we began globalizing our products for ten different languages covering a multitude of locales in Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, and Latin America. This process involves localization of the products and a new family of features that cover the needs of multi-lingual and multi-currency deployments. We are making important evolutionary enhancements to the product line including adding support for social media, multi-digital formats, introducing new APIs, and adding new capabilities around multichannel marketing. Our leadership in Mobile-to-Print applications in our space continues with development underway for business-to-business and business-to-consumer applications for Apple and Android mobile devices. During the coming year, we will be introducing a whole new set of capabilities for our OEM partner Heidelberg and we will continue to aggressively update our integrations with HP and Xerox through our OEM offerings.

Competition

Pageflex competes with approximately twenty service providers with offerings of end-to-end solutions and integration services that include on-demand publishing tools. These solutions in turn compete with solutions created by our customers. Pageflex Server, Pageflex Storefront, Pageflex SaaS, and Pageflex iWay are server-based enterprise applications targeted at the customized print or web-to-print segment of the on-demand publishing market, while Persona Cross Media Suite and Pageflex Studio ID are desktop products for database-driven print and HTML email production. Rapid technological developments and frequent product introductions characterize this market. Competitive solutions also include VDP and Web-to-print products bundled with digital presses, or integrated with print-shop management systems in the print provider market. In the corporate market, competitive solutions, especially for Pageflex Campaign Manager, include those integrated with marketing campaign management, email marketing, and CRM strategies. Participants in this market compete based on functionality, price, service, customizability, and interoperability with other e-publishing solutions and components. Pageflex competitors include EFI, MindFire, and XMPie. Recently this market has seen some consolidation with major digital press vendors adding software solutions to their product portfolios, including Xerox Corporation, which owns Pageflex competitor XMPie, the Kodak InSite product, and Hewlett Packard with their SmartStream product line (which OEMs the Pageflex iWay product). This is a trend that may continue and change our competitive landscape. Another trend is the increase in the number of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) offerings in the web-to-print space. Here Pageflex SaaS and our licensed server applications compete with Online Print Solutions, Red Tie, and Printable. In addition, we may face new competition from emerging products and technologies. We believe our automated marketing communication and print production products compete favorably based on rich feature sets, ease of use, long-term cost of ownership, stability, scalability, customer service and support, and customer satisfaction.

BOLT competes with the browsing solutions offered by a wide variety of companies, including large software companies and small companies focused solely on the mobile browsing market. Our mobile browser competitors include Opera Software ASA, Access Co., Ltd., SkyFire Labs, Inc, InfoGin, and Novarra (now owned by Nokia). We believe BOLT compares favorably against these competitors’ mobile browsing products primarily because of its page rendering quality, page load speed, streaming video support, widget support, direct Facebook and Twitter integration, ease-of-use, ability to access a wide variety of websites and the browser’s WebKit-based cloud computing technology, which provides many advantages, the most important being user experience, speed and security. Our cloud computing architecture also gives BOLT a high degree of compliance with open HTML standards, making fast and full-featured mobile web browsing possible.

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting all of our products include product features and functionalities such as scalability, ease of integration, ease of implementation, ease of use, quality, and performance, as well as price, customer service and support, and effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts. Although we believe that we currently compete effectively with respect to such factors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or improve our competitive position against current and potential competitors.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, patent, and trademark laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect proprietary rights in our technology. We are party to confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, and, when obtainable, enter into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers, distributors and others so as to limit access to, and disclosure of, our proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these statutory and contractual arrangements will prove sufficient to deter misappropriation of our technologies or that our competitors will not independently develop non-infringing technologies that are substantially similar to or superior to our technology. The laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or licensed may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and make the possibility of piracy of our technology and products more likely. We believe that, because of the rapid pace of technological

change in the software and electronic commerce markets, legal protection for our products will be a less significant factor in our future success than the knowledge, ability and experience of our employees, the frequency of product enhancements and our ability to satisfy our customers.

Our policy is to apply for U.S. patents and seek copyright registration for our technology and seek trademark registration of our marks from time to time when management determines that it is competitively advantageous and cost effective to do so. We have been granted ten patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, three for certain aspects or applications of MSDH’s TrueDoc technology, one for our DocLock technology,, one for our Pageflex technology, and three for our BOLT/ThunderHawk browsing technology. Furthermore, multiple U.S., PCT, EPO, and Japanese patent applications are in process for some of MSDH’s newer technologies. Bitstream®, BOLT®, TrueDoc®, T2K®, Pageflex®, and Cyberbit® are federally registered trademarks of MSDH. All other trademarks, service marks or trade names referred to in this prospectus are the property of their respective owners.

Employees

As of November 30, 2011, MSDH employed 132 people, including 16 in sales and marketing, 18 in customer support and consulting,758 in research and development, and 23 in general and administrative functions. Of our 132 employees, 130 are full-time and 2 are part-time. These include 36 full-time employees and one part-time employee based in our office in Israel, and 39 full-time employees based in our office in India. Of the 130 full-time employees, 31 are shared resources between MSDH and Bitstream. We also retain consultants from time to time to assist us with particular projects. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel. None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our employee relations to be good.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial position should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus as well as the information contained under “Business” and “Risk Factors”. The consolidated financial statements of MSDH generally reflect results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the operations as if MSDH had operated as its own entity rather than a component of Bitstream. Accordingly the financial statements include, among other things, allocations of certain Bitstream expenses (primarily general & administrative costs) using the allocation methodology described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effects of the actual contribution of assets and liabilities contemplated in the Contribution Agreement or any changes that may occur in the financing and operations of MSDH as a result of the Contribution or Distribution Agreements. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements described in the following discussion and analysis.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

On November 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bitstream authorized the Separation and Distribution of the Pageflex and Bolt Products from Bitstream to MSDH. On                     , the Board of Directors of Bitstream fixed                      as the record date to distribute to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MSDH. MSDH consists of the business of the Pageflex and BOLT Products and was formed in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger (the “Bitstream Merger”) with and acquisition by Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monotype”). The completion of Separation and Distribution are conditions precedent to the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution must be completed at least three business days prior to the completion of the Bitstream Merger. The Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger will be consummated because management and the Board of Directors of Bitstream believe that it is in the best interest of shareholders to separate and allow for the merger of Bitstream’s business relating to its OEM and retail font and font technology products with Monotype.

MSDH is a software development company focused on bringing innovative and proprietary software products to a wide variety of markets. Our core software products include mobile browsing technologies and variable data publishing, Web-to-print, and multi-channel communications technologies.

Mobile Browsing Technologies. BOLT provides a consistent, full desktop-style browsing experience on almost any handset. Based upon MSDH’s ThunderHawk technology, BOLT was released into private beta in January 2009, launched into public beta in February 2009, and launched out of beta in October 2009 with the release of BOLT 1.5. As part of MSDH’s strategy to build market awareness through rapid market penetration, Bitstream gave BOLT away for free to consumers through an extensive viral marketing campaign. The BOLT mobile browser offers faithful rendering of Web pages and it is the only browser for mobile phones of all types to support streaming video from popular media sharing sites such as YouTube and MySpace. Compatible with most handsets that support the J2ME or BREW/BMP operating systems, BOLT’s advanced features include W3C based widget support, direct Twitter integration, six levels of magnification, international localization, copy/paste, FOTA updates, and additional usability features such as auto-complete url, save page, secure browsing, patented split-screen minimap, password manager, rss subscriptions, automatic socket support, history and keypad shortcuts. BOLT is a WebKit based cloud-computing mobile browser. This cloud -computing architecture is the key to BOLT’s capabilities. Web pages are first loaded by the BOLT servers, then transcoded and sent to the BOLT mobile browser client on handsets. This client/server approach maintains the integrity of Web page layouts, reduces packet consumption on data networks, dramatically improves page load speeds, and enables advanced features such as video streaming.

Our business strategy focuses on expanding both our direct sales effort as well as expanding our relationships with our OEM and reseller channels. We are also focused on improving our product offerings and expanding our market share.

Certain Financial and Operating Metrics

In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews key financial and operating metrics, such as revenue, gross margin, expenses, and capital expenditures, among others. Management considers these financial and operating metrics critical to understanding and improving our business, reviewing our historical performance, comparing our performance versus other companies and identifying current and future trends, and for planning purposes.

Certain Trends and Uncertainties

The following represents a summary of known trends and uncertainties which could have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. This summary should be considered along with the factors discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

   

On November 10, 2011 we completed the separation from Bitstream in connection with Bitstream’s planned merger with Monotype. We may experience disruption in our business related to the separation from Bitstream including, but not limited to, attention and time spent on the Separation, Distribution and planned merger, our common utilization of integrated information system and financial reporting infrastructure with Bitstream and the assignment of material contracts to us for which some of the

parties may not consent to the assignment. If we experience significant disruption as a result of these or any other factors related to the Separation, Distribution and planned merger, our financial results could be adversely impacted.

 

   

The Pageflex and Bolt product activities were conducted by Bitstream as a whole and integrated with the Fonts Products activities. Our historic financial information may not be representative of our results as a separate company.

 

   

We continue to closely monitor current economic conditions, particularly as they impact our customers. We believe that our customers continue to experience some amount of economic hardship. If this economic hardship continues or worsens, our financial results could be adversely impacted.

 

   

We continue to develop new products and new versions of our existing product offerings. Failure to develop and launch new products and versions could negatively impact our financial results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

MSDH has identified the policies below as critical to its business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect MSDH’s reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of this prospectus requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Allocation Methodologies:

The financial statements of MSDH have been derived from the financial statements of Bitstream Inc. utilizing the following methodologies: the MSDH balance sheet generally reflects the financial position of MSDH as if it had been a separate entity as of September 30, 2011. Only those assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable to the MSDH business or those assets and liabilities that were used primarily by the MSDH business, such as our leased facilities in the US, have been attributed and included in the balance sheet of MSDH. The MSDH statements of operations reflect revenue directly attributable to the MSDH business. Cost of revenue, research and development, and sales and marketing departments have historically been product specific and thus have been primarily assigned to MSDH based on product line information. Certain general and administrative (“G&A”) items that could be specifically identified and allocated, including amortization of intangibles, were allocated. Other general expenses that could not be specifically identified to a product line were allocated based on the most relevant measure, such as head count and product revenue. Certain assets that were used by both Bitstream and MSDH were assigned to MSDH as the primary user of the assets. MSDH charges Bitstream a fee, approximating fair value, for the use of these assets. The fee is netted with the expenses of MSDH in the Statement of Operations and was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (unaudited) or the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. MSDH’s operating results historically have been included in Bitstream’s consolidated U.S. and state tax returns. The provision for income taxes in MSDH’s financial statements has been determined on a separate-return basis.

There is significant judgment in determining the allocation of income, expense, and attribution of assets and liabilities. Management believes that the methodologies used in the allocation are reasonable.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue from the license of our software products, and from consulting and support and maintenance services. Primarily, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the fee is probable.

Multiple-element arrangements

We recognize revenue under multiple-element arrangements using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements under the arrangement. Under the residual method, the arrangement consideration is first allocated to undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value for each element and the residual amount is allocated to the delivered elements. Arrangement consideration allocated to undelivered elements is deferred and recognized as revenue when the elements are delivered, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. We have established sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence for the value of our training and maintenance services, based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. VSOE of the fair value of maintenance services is supported by substantive renewal rates within customer contracts.

Table of Contents

License Revenue

We receive and recognize licensing fees and royalty revenue from: (1) Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) customers for page composition technologies; (2) direct and indirect licenses of software publishing applications for the creation, enhancement, management, transport, viewing and printing of electronic information; (3) direct sales of custom design and consulting services to end users such as graphic artists, desktop publishers, corporations and resellers; and (4) sales of publishing applications to foreign customers primarily through distributors and resellers.

We recognize license revenue from the resale of our products through various resellers. Resellers may sell our products in either an electronic format or CD format. Revenue is recognized if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product, or for a CD product, upon delivery of the software.

Revenue from end user product sales is recognized upon delivery of the software, net of estimated returns and allowances, and when collection is probable.

Service Revenue

Professional services include custom design and development, and training. We recognize professional services revenue under software development contracts as services are provided for per diem contracts or by using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term fixed price contracts. Provisions for any estimated losses on contracts are made in the period in which such losses become probable. There are no amounts accrued at the balance sheet dates presented.

We recognize revenue from support and maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the agreement.

Deferred revenue includes unearned software support and maintenance revenue, and advanced billings for unrecognized revenue from contracts.

Cost of revenue from software licenses consists primarily of hosting costs, amortization of intangibles related to the iWay product, and costs to distribute the product, including the cost of the media on which it is delivered. Cost of revenue from services consists primarily of costs associated with customer support, consulting and custom product development services.

We generally warrant that our products will function substantially in accordance with documentation provided to customers for approximately 90 days following initial delivery. We have not incurred any material expenses related to warranty claims.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this guidance, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. All assumptions used in valuing our stock option grants and estimating our forfeiture rate are based on the historical information and assumptions used by Bitstream.

We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and awards. Inputs into the pricing model represent the inputs used by Bitstream based on their historical experience. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by Bitstream’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include Bitstream’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

 

43


Table of Contents

We estimate the expected term of options granted by calculating the average term from Bitstream’s historical stock option exercise experience. We estimate the volatility of our common stock by Bitstream’s historical volatility. We base the risk-free interest rate that we use in the option pricing model on zero-coupon yields implied from U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. Bitstream did not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore the expected dividend yield was zero in the option pricing model. We are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use Bitstream’s historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense inclusive of assumption based on MSDH factors in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, stock-based compensation expense in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and net income per share.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in our option grants and awards. Existing valuation models, including the Black-Scholes and lattice binomial models, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our stock-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those stock-based payments in the future. Certain stock-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. There currently is no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values.

The application of these principles using authoritative guidance may be subject to further interpretation and refinement over time. There are significant differences among valuation models, and there is a possibility that we will adopt different valuation models in the future. This may result in a lack of consistency in future periods and materially affect the fair value estimate of stock-based payments. It may also result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Under authoritative guidance, goodwill is not amortized, but is required to be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. For purposes of testing impairment, MSDH has determined it has one reporting unit. Therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment based upon an enterprise wide valuation. We conducted impairment testing as of each balance sheet date presented in the consolidated financial statements and determined that there was no impairment. Although none of the goodwill was impaired, there can be no assurance that, in the future, a material impairment charge will not be required.

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, we review these assets for impairment. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of that asset, impairment exists. We recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is normally assessed using a discounted cash flow model. We believe that, as of each balance sheet date presented, none of our long-lived assets were impaired.

Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we identify. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and appropriate reserves have been established, we increased these reserves throughout 2009 as the downturn in the global economy affected our customers and made collections from certain customers difficult. In 2010, we wrote-off several accounts against a substantial portion of the 2009 reserves. We did not record significant additional reserves during 2011 or 2010. We cannot guarantee that our credit loss rates will not worsen or that we will experience credit loss rates approximating those that we have experienced in the past.

Software Development Costs

We incur costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that qualify for capitalization. Development costs for software to be sold externally incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, but prior to the general release of the product, are capitalized and, upon general release, are amortized over the expected life of the related products.

Income Taxes

MSDH’s operating results historically have been included in Bitstream’s consolidated U.S. and state tax returns. The provision for income taxes in MSDH’s financial statements has been determined on a separate-return basis, under which a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that we will recover our deferred tax assets from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe recovery unlikely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations. Determination of our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. We have fully reserved against our tax assets in all jurisdictions due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward and foreign tax credits, before they expire. We base our valuation allowance on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. The determination of the valuation allowance requires us to make estimates, which we cannot guarantee will prove to be accurate.

License Revenue

We recognize license revenue from direct sales and licensing agreements of our products and products from third parties, licensing agreements with OEMs and ISVs, and from the resale of our products through various resellers. We recognize reseller revenue on a sell-in basis and bear no obligation after the license has been delivered to the reseller.

The increase in revenue from software licenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily resulted from sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010 of $871 and to an increase in sales of our Pageflex Storefront product of $177 partially offset by a decrease in sales of our Pageflex Server products. iWay products were available for sale for nine months in 2011 versus seven months in 2010 and we have seen an increase in OEM royalties for units shipped since the acquisition of the iWay product line. We continue to be affected by the global economic downturn, as are our customers. However, with the stabilization of the iWay product, the localization of the Pageflect Storefront product and our increase in sales and marketing resources, we expect our revenue to increase during the next year as compared to 2010 and the first nine months of 2011.

The decrease in revenue from software licenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the year ended December 31, 2009 was attributable to decreases across all of our product lines from both resellers and direct sales. These decreases were partially offset by increased license revenue of $248 that resulted from sales of the

Table of Contents

iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010. Decreases in software license revenue from resellers were primarily due to a decrease in customer acquisition by resellers of our publishing product line. We were affected by the global economic downturn, as were our customers, including various OEMs and ISVs who report product royalties on shipments of their products.

The decrease in revenue from software licenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $1,442 or 33% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was attributable to decreases across all of our products and from both direct sales and resellers. The net decrease in direct and reseller revenue was due to the global economic downturn.

Service Revenue

Service Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased from service revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to support contracts for the iWay product of $882 and an increase in consulting services engagements related to the Pageflex Storefront product, which increased revenue for consulting services by $147 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Other product services revenue for customer support, consulting, custom design and training services were generally flat year over year. The increase in iWay support revenue is due to the buildup of deferred support revenue from increased customer sales and OEM royalties during the prior year. We expect the revenue from support contracts to continue to increase for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012. Consulting, graphic design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers and may be affected more by economic concerns as customers may delay design changes, custom development and training. We are not able to determine at this time how these economic concerns will impact our service revenue during the remainder of 2011.

Revenue from services increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 from the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in revenue from customer support contracts for the iWay product of $57, partially offset by a small decrease in consulting, customer design and training. Consulting, custom design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers and may be affected more by economic concerns as customers may delay design changes, custom development and training. Customer support from our other products was generally flat from 2009 to 2010.

The decrease in revenue from services of $277 or 6% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was due to decreases in consulting, custom design and training services. Service revenue from maintenance and support contracts was generally flat from 2008 to 2009. Consulting, custom design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers and may be affected more by economic concerns as customers may delay design changes, custom development and training.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes hosting costs, royalties and fees paid to third parties for the license of rights to technology, costs incurred in the fulfillment of custom orders, costs incurred in providing customer support, maintenance and training, and costs associated with the duplication, packaging and shipping of products. Cost of revenue also includes amortization of acquired-technology from the acquisition of assets from Press-Sense Ltd starting in 2010.

Cost of License Revenue

The increase in cost of license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily related to the inclusion of hosting costs for the browsing product in 2011 of $366. Browser hosting costs were included in Research and Development in 2010 as we had yet to monetize our free user base and provide hosting services to carrier and device manufacturers. In addition, cost of licenses increased due to an additional $78 of amortization of the iWay technology acquired in June 2010 as part of Press-sense Ltd acquisition. We also incurred increased support infrastructure costs for our browsing product line during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Quarterly results may vary based upon the mix of products sold during any particular quarter.

Table of Contents

The increase in cost of license revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the amortization of the iWay technology acquisition in June 2010 of $110.

The decrease in cost of license revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $75 or 20% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to decreased royalty costs from decreased sales of third party products.

Cost of Service Revenue

The increase in cost of services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to increased salary and related expense associated with the Israel office established in June 2010 and to a reduction in the internal allocation of resources charged to research and development projects, resulting in higher cost of services expense. Our cost of services infrastructure has remained relatively constant during 2011 and we expect our variable costs to increase as the demand for these services increases and also with the addition of support and consulting services for the iWay product which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Press-Sense Ltd. assets. We expect our cost of services revenue as a percentage of revenue to increase to approximate the level attained during 2010.

The decrease in cost of services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in consulting services personnel including the reassignment of several consultants to research and development staff positions starting in the second half of 2009 and continuing throughout 2010. Our cost of services infrastructure remained relatively constant during 2010.

The decrease in cost of services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $152 or 8%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in commissions and bonuses for customer consulting and support personnel, decreases in travel and consulting services and an increase in the internal allocation of resources charged to research and development projects for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulting in lower cost of services expense.

Marketing and Selling (“M&S”) Expense

Marketing and selling (“M&S”) expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits, commissions, travel expense and facilities costs related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as marketing program-related costs. The increase in M&S for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related primarily to an increase in professional marketing services and consulting, an increase in salary related costs and an increase in amortization partially offset by a decrease in advertising costs. Professional services increased by $186 primarily due to iWay sales consulting. Salary related costs increased by $200 primarily due to the addition of sales and marketing personnel associated with the iWay product acquired in June 2010. Amortization increased by $80 primarily due to the amortization of iWay acquired customer lists. Advertising and marketing expense decreased by $69 primarily due to a decrease in tradeshow expenses in 2011. The decrease in trade show costs versus the prior year was due to attendance at the large IPEX publishing tradeshow held in the UK during August 2010, which will next be held in 2014. We expect that our M&S expense will increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue during the remainder of 2011, as commissionable sales increase and as we invest in new sales and marketing resources.

The increase in M&S expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of an increase in travel, an increase in professional marketing services and consulting, an increase in amortization of iWay intangibles and an increase in advertising and marketing activities partially offset by a decrease in salary related costs. The increases in travel of $121 and marketing activities of $99 were primarily the result of increased tradeshow participation during 2010. Increased amortization of $112 related to the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense Ltd. in 2010. Salaries and benefits decreased by $222 due to temporary decrease of sales and marketing personnel.

The decrease in M&S expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $693 or 19% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of a $353 decrease in employee salaries and benefits due to temporary headcount reduction and decreased commissionable sales, a decrease of $210 in advertising and marketing activities due primarily to the decrease in tradeshow participation during 2009, and a $96 decrease in professional marketing services and consulting costs. The decrease in tradeshow costs was primarily affected by the absence of the Drupa tradeshow during 2009. Drupa is held once every four years and was last held during 2008 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expense

Research and development (“R&D”) expense consists primarily of salary and benefit costs, contracted third-party development costs, and facility costs related to software developers and management. R&D expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits. Salary related expense increased by $1,144 primarily related to the addition of R&D personnel for the iWay product as well as for additional headcount added in India during 2010. These increases are partially offset by the inclusion of browser hosting costs in cost of revenue in 2011. These costs were included as R&D expense in 2010, as MSDH had yet to monetize its free user base and provide hosting services to carrier and device manufacturers. We expect our development efforts and R&D expense to increase as compared to 2010 both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales during 2011.

R&D expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due primarily to increased salary related costs and facilities allocations as well as an increase in professional services and subcontractors. Salary related expense increased by $1,580 due primarily to the increased resources related to the acquisition of the iWay products from Press-Sense Ltd. in June of 2010 as well as increased resources in our India office. Facilities costs increased by $306 primarily as a result of the increased personnel, including IT and communication costs for the BOLT Products. Professional services and subcontractors increased by $117.

 

49


Table of Contents

The decrease in R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 of $199 or 6% was primarily the result of a decrease in professional services of $258 and a decrease in expendable equipment costs of $23 partially offset by an increase in facilities costs of $102 due to increases in R&D headcount at our offices, which resulted in higher percentage of facility costs being charged to R&D.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense

G&A expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs including travel and facility expenses for finance, human resource, legal and executive personnel, legal and accounting professional services, provision for bad debts, directors fees and director and officer insurance. G&A expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase in salary related costs of $674, partially offset by a decrease in professional service fees of $137. A significant contributor to the salary increase was due to the resignation and related severance for our former CEO as well as an increase in salaries and benefits in the Israel office established in June 2010. We expect that G&A expenses, other than those associated with the resignation agreement, will remain at similar levels for the remainder of 2011.

G&A expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the increased resources added by the acquisition of the iWay product from Press-Sense Ltd. in June of 2010. The professional services fees increase of $671 included approximately $438 in acquisition costs from the Press-Sense acquisition as well as an increase in professional services. The remainder of the increase in G&A for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of a net increase in G&A personnel of approximately $210 and travel related expenses of $123. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of bad debt expense of $146.

The increase in G&A for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $178 or 13% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of an increase in bad debt expense of $149 and an increase in professional services expenses of $81 which included fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 internal controls documentation and testing. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $86 in salary and benefits which was primarily due to the suspension of our bonus program for 2009 due to the effect on MSDH of the global economic downturn.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollar amounts in thousands)

At September 30, 2011, our primary source of liquidity comes from our cash and cash equivalents of $670.

The Pageflex and BOLT products historically have been funded directly through the conduct of our operations as a component of Bitstream. Through September 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred net losses of $6,190 and $7,093, respectively. Bitstream contributed capital of $5,434 and $12,493 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,874.

Our operating activities used cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 of $4,579 and $3,729, respectively. The increased usage of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 resulted primarily from an increased net loss of $1,027 partially offset by an increase in the add-backs of non-cash expense items of $99. Net cash used by operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $5,177 and $2,256, respectively. The increased usage of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of an increased net loss of $4,407 partially offset by an increase in cash generated from working capital accounts of $1,243 and an increase in the add-backs of non-cash expense items of $243 primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets obtained in the Press-Sense acquisition. Cash used in operating activities has historically been affected by the amount of net loss, changes in working capital accounts and add-backs of non-cash expense items such as depreciation and amortization and the expense associated with stock-based awards.

Cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $786 and $6,597, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of the capitalization of internally developed software of $554, the purchase of property and equipment of $217 and additions to intangible assets of $15. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consisted of cash paid for the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense of $6,528, the purchase of property and equipment of $49 and the additions of intangible assets of $20. Cash used in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $6,715 and $487, respectively. Cash used in investing activities in 2010 consisted of cash paid for the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense of $6,528, the purchase of property and equipment of $165 and the additions of intangible assets of $36 partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $14. Cash used in investing activities in 2009 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of $462 and the addition of intangible assets of $25.

Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 provided cash of $5,434 and $10,636, respectively. Financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 provided cash of $12,493 and $2,743, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities consists entirely of contributions from Bitstream.

We conduct our operations in leased facilities. In June 2009, we entered into a ten-year lease agreement for 27,000 square feet of office space with the right of first refusal on an additional 4,000 square feet in a building located in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This lease agreement commenced September 1, 2009 and obligates us to make minimum lease payments plus our pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. The lease payments began after three (3) free months of rent and increase approximately 2% per annum. The total commitment under the lease is approximately $5,390, net of a tenant allowance of $411. We record rent expense on a straight-line basis, taking into consideration the free rent period, the tenant allowance received at the outset of the lease, and annual incremental increases to the lease payments. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $136 to be in place through October 31, 2019, which we collateralized with a certificate of deposit classified as a long-term restricted asset on our Balance Sheet.

In January 2011, Bitstream Israel Ltd., wholly-owned subsidiary of MSDH, entered into a thirty-six (36) month lease agreement in Caesarea, Israel. This lease agreement commenced April 15, 2011 and obligates us to make

 

52


Table of Contents

semi-annual payments including service taxes. Our total financial commitment during the thirty-six (36) month lease period is approximately $384 U.S. dollars. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a bank guarantee backed by our cash deposits in the amount of approximately $56 U.S. dollars to be in place through May 14, 2014. The bank guarantee is classified as a long-term restricted asset on our Balance Sheet.

We will be utilizing approximately 50% of the square footage of the Marlborough, Massachusetts headquarters after the decrease in personnel associated with the contemplated Bitstream Merger. Management anticipates a reduction in operating costs through the elimination of certain fixed costs, including, without limitation, the possible sub-letting or returning to the landlord of the unutilized space that currently exists. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing these cost cutting plans or that such plans will be successful or, if successful, how long they will take.

The future minimum annual lease payments under our leased facilities and equipment as of December 31, 2010, excluding any rent income of MSDH, and including the Israel lease signed in January 2011, are as follows:

In June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Net-Translators LLC with an estimated fee structure of $835, payable in installments upon completion of milestones specified in the agreement. Net-translators will provide software development services related to the localization of our Storefront product into ten languages. As of September 30, 2011, the Company paid $488, with an estimated $347 remaining commitment which is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2011.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. MSDH’s long-term viability is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient product revenue, net income and cash flows from operations to support its business as well as its ability to obtain additional financing, if needed. Management’s plans also include reducing operating costs and delaying certain expenditures if necessary to maintain the Company’s liquidity. The Separation from Bitstream Inc. may disrupt our business and management, negatively affecting our business, operating results or financial condition and may cause other risks to the Company. MSDH has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and, for its liquidity, has relied on contributions from Bitstream. As of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), MSDH had accumulated contributions of $46.1 million from its parent company.

Bitstream has a cash balance of $ 3.2 million and investment balance of $6.6 million as of September 30, 2011 . The cash and investments include $5.6 million corporate bonds, $0.9 million government bonds and $0.3 million money market funds and certificates of deposits, which are all measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, from and after the Separation Date through and as of the Distribution Date, Bitstream is required to fund the operating expenses of MSDH. On or about the Distribution Date, Bitstream will contribute approximately $        million to MSDH. Based on the Bitstream funding commitment from the Separation Date through the Distribution Date, and the expected $        million capital contribution from Bitstream to MSDH on or about the Distribution Date, management believes

 

53


Table of Contents

that MSDH’s cash as of the Separation Date and the Distribution Date together with cash generated from future operations and funds and contributions from Bitstream are, and will be, sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least September 30, 2012. There can be no assurance, however, that MSDH will not require additional financing in the future if funds from future operations or estimated expenses differ materially from those amounts estimated by management. If we were required to obtain additional financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sources of capital would be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. In addition, MSDH and Bitstream have entered into certain ancillary agreements in connection with the Separation and Distribution that provide for indemnification of Bitstream with respect to certain liabilities of the Pageflex and BOLT Products contributed to MSDH. See “Arrangements Between Bitstream and MSDH.”

Potential Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal, but we can provide no assurance that payments will not be required under these agreements in the future.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. As the new guidance relates only to how comprehensive income is disclosed and does not change the items that must be reported as comprehensive income, adoption will not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which simplifies how companies test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in goodwill accounting standard. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. MSDH does not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Independence of our Board of Directors

MSDH’s By-laws provide that the members of the Board of Directors will be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, or at a special meeting of the stockholders in lieu thereof, and that each director shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his or her death, or until he shall have resigned, or have been removed as provided in the By-laws.

Our by-laws further provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of not less than one nor more than ten directors, the exact number of directors to be fixed from time to time by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors currently is comprised of four directors, including three independent directors. The board of directors determined that Mr. Kaminski is not independent by virtue of his service as chief executive officer of Bitstream.

Board of Directors—Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Structure

The members of the Board of Directors are elected annually to serve until their successors have been elected and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.

MSDH has separated the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. MSDH believes that the separation of these roles permitted the Chairman of the Board to focus on oversight of its long-term corporate development goals and strategic issues, thereby enabling the Chief Executive Officer to focus on executing Bitstream’s business plan and overseeing the day to day performance of the other executive officers. MSDH will re-assess its leadership structure after the completion of the Distribution and related transactions to determine whether any modifications are necessary or appropriate based on relevant facts and circumstances.

The MSDH Board of Directors will conduct an annual self-evaluation in order to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. As part of this self-evaluation, the board evaluates whether the current leadership structure continues to be optimal for MSDH and its stockholders.

Risk Oversight

The MSDH Board of Directors has oversight of its risk management program working directly with senior management, who are responsible for internal risk management. The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for risk identification and prioritization process and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 compliance program. The Compensation Committee has oversight of risk considerations with respect to compensation programs, including working directly with senior management to determine whether such programs improperly encourage management to take risks relating to the business and/or whether risks arising from our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on MSDH. MSDH’s senior management, subject to board oversight, is responsible for ensuring that the risk management program, comprised of strategic, operational, financial and legal risk identification and prioritization, is reflected in MSDH’s policies and actions. Senior management, subject to board oversight, also is responsible for day-to-day risk management and implementation of company policies, with monitoring and testing of company-wide policies and procedures overseen by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors believes that this shared oversight structure is appropriate for MSDH.

Under the MSDH Corporate Governance Guidelines, each committee may retain experts to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are “independent” as required by applicable laws and regulations.

The Board of Directors and executive management believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that MSDH is managed for the long-term benefit of its stockholders.

Policy Governing Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

MSDH does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at the annual meetings of stockholders, but we strongly encourage all members of the Board of Directors to attend the annual meetings and expect such attendance except in the event of exigent circumstances. MSDH has not yet had an annual meeting.

Shareholder Communications with Directors

A shareholder who wishes to communicate directly with the Board of Directors, a committee of the Board of Directors or with an individual director, should send the communication to:

Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc.

Attn: Board of Directors or committee name or director’s name, as appropriate

500 Nickerson Road

Marlborough, MA 01752-4695

MSDH will forward all shareholder correspondence to the Board of Directors, committee or individual director, as appropriate.

Nomination of Candidates for Director

When evaluating potential candidates for directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) considers individuals recommended by members of the Nominating Committee, other Directors, members of management, and shareholders or self-nominated individuals. The Nominating Committee is advised of all nominations that are submitted to us and determines whether it will further consider the candidates using the criteria described below.

In order to be considered, each proposed candidate must:

 

1) Be ethical;

 

2) Have proven judgment and competence;

 

3) Have professional skills and experience that are complementary to the background and experience represented on the Board and that meet our needs;

 

4) Have demonstrated the ability to act independently and be willing to represent the interests of all shareholders and not just those of a particular philosophy or constituency; and

 

5) Be willing and able to devote sufficient time to fulfill his/her responsibilities to Bitstream and its shareholders.

The Nominating Committee also considers the following factors when evaluating candidates for director:

 

1) How such candidate contributes to the diversity of the Board of Directors. Although MSDH does not have a formal diversity policy, it endeavors to comprise the Board of members with a broad mix of professional and personal backgrounds. Thus, the Nominating Committee accords some weight to the individual professional background and experience of each director. Further, in considering nominations, the Nominating Committee takes into account how a candidate’s professional background would fit into the mix of experiences represented by the then-current Board. When evaluating a nominee’s overall qualifications, the Nominating Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is necessarily required of all prospective nominees.

 

2) The degree to which such candidate’s experience strengthens the Board of Directors’ collective qualifications and skills.

 

3) The candidate’s understanding of and experience in the software and technology industries.

 

59


Table of Contents
4) The candidate’s leadership experience with public companies.

The Committee seeks and receives recommendations on board candidates from third parties, including security holders, and while recommendations from significant security holders might receive greater initial consideration we generally would seek to apply the same criteria that would be applied in evaluating other candidates to these recommended candidates.

After the Nominating Committee has completed its evaluations, it presents its recommendations to the full Board of Directors for its consideration and approval. In presenting its recommendations, the Nominating Committee also reports on other candidates who were considered but not selected.

We will report any material change to this procedure in a quarterly or annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any new procedure will be available through the Corporate Governance link on our website at http://www.pageflex.com/corporate/investor.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions. This code of ethics is incorporated in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors, and employees. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at http://www.pageflex.com/corporate/investor. We intend to satisfy the SEC’s disclosure requirements regarding amendments to, or waivers of, the code of business conduct and ethics by posting such information on our website in lieu of filing such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

(1) All options outstanding as of December 31, 2010 have ten-year terms. All options with an expiration date prior to June 2016 vest over a three-year period in equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the award. Options granted under the Bitstream 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, which include the options above with an expiration date after June 2016, vest over a four-year period in equal installments of 25% on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary of the award. Vesting of all of these options will be accelerated in full upon completion of the Bitstream Merger.
(2) The value of the stock award was calculated by using a share price of $7.240, the closing price of Bitstream’s common stock on December 31, 2010. Stock Awards vest over a five-year period in equal quarterly installments of 5% on each quarterly anniversary of the award, but vesting will be accelerated in full upon completion of the Bitstream Merger.

EXECUTIVE AGREEMENTS

All of Bitstream’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) are employed on an at-will basis but have entered into severance agreements (the “Severance Agreements”) with Bitstream in the event of a “Change in Control” as described below. These agreements have an original term expiring on April 15, 2012, and shall thereafter be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless Bitstream has notified the NEO of its election not to renew the term of the agreement not less than 120 days before the expiration of the (then) current term.

Potential Payments upon Termination Following a Change-in-Control

The Severance Agreements with Bitstream’s NEOs provide certain benefits upon the termination of employment after a change in control (a “Change in Control”) as defined below. Under these agreements, the NEO shall be entitled to severance benefits if terminated within twenty-four months of a Change in Control, unless such termination is due to the NEO’s death or disability, or is by Bitstream for Cause, or is by the NEO for other than Good Reason.

A Change in Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  1) any “Person(s)” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Bitstream representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of Bitstream’s (then) outstanding securities; or

 

  2) during any period of twelve consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Bitstream cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the incumbent Board; or

 

  3)

Bitstream is a party to (i) any consolidation or merger of Bitstream in which it is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which its shares of common stock would be converted into cash,

 

64


Table of Contents
  securities, or other property; or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Bitstream; or

 

  4) approval by the stockholders of Bitstream. of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of Bitstream.

Cause is defined as (i) the willful and continued failure by the NEO to substantially perform the NEO’s duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance has been delivered to the NEO by Bitstream, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which it is believed that the NEO has not substantially performed the NEO’s duties; or (ii) conviction of a felony or acts of dishonesty resulting in gain or personal enrichment at the expense of Bitstream; or (iii) the NEO’s willful misconduct or insubordination which is materially injurious to Bitstream. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the NEO’s part shall be considered as willful unless done, or omitted to be done, by the NEO not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interests of Bitstream.

Disability is defined as the illness, or mental or physical disability, of the NEO as determined by a physician acceptable to Bitstream and the NEO, resulting in the NEO’s failure to perform substantially all of his or her applicable material duties for a period of six consecutive months, and the NEO’s failure to return to the performance of such duties within 30 days after receiving written notice of termination of employment due to such Disability.

Good Reason is defined as the (i) reduction in the NEO’s (then) current base salary as paid immediately preceding the Change in Control; (ii) diminution, reduction or other adverse change in the annual bonus opportunity or other incentive compensation opportunities available to the NEO immediately preceding the Change in Control; (iii) Bitstream’s failure to pay the NEO any amounts otherwise earned, vested or due under any compensation plan or human resources policy of Bitstream immediately preceding the Change in Control; (iv) diminution of the Executive’s title, position, authority or responsibility; (v) assignment to the NEO of duties incompatible with the position occupied by the NEO immediately preceding the Change in Control; or (vi) relocation of the NEO’s position to a location more than 35 miles from the location to which the NEO was assigned immediately preceding the Change in Control.

If, after any Change in Control shall have occurred, the NEO’s employment shall be terminated within twenty-four months of the date of such Change in Control either (i) by Bitstream other than for death, disability or Cause, or (ii) by the NEO for Good Reason, the NEO shall be entitled to the following severance benefits under the terms of the Severance Agreements:

 

   

Bitstream shall pay the NEO’s full base salary through the date of termination at the rate which is the higher of the (then) current annual rate or the annual rate in effect immediately prior to the date of any Change in Control. Bitstream also shall pay the NEO the amount, if any, of any unpaid earned annual bonus for the preceding fiscal year. In addition, Bitstream shall continue in full force and effect through the date of termination the NEO’s participation in all stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option and restricted stock plans; all health and welfare benefit plans; and all insurance and disability plans as may be in effect at the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of any Bitstream stock plans and related agreements under which outstanding stock option and restricted stock grants shall have been made, any such outstanding and unvested stock options and restricted stock grants shall become immediately and fully vested upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

 

   

Bitstream shall pay as severance benefits to the NEO on or before the fifth day following the date of termination of employment, a lump sum payment equal to twice the NEO’s base salary in the case of the CEO and 1.75 times the NEO’s base salary in the case of any other NEO, at the rate which is the higher of the (then) current annual rate or the annual rate in effect immediately prior to the date of any Change in Control. Such lump sum payment shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local income and FICA taxes including all required withholding amounts. In no event shall the severance

 

65


Table of Contents
 

benefits exceed the amount that is deductible by Bitstream in accordance with Section 280(G) of the Code. The NEO shall not be required to mitigate or offset the amount of any severance benefits or other benefits provided by seeking employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided be reduced by any compensation earned by the NEO as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination from Bitstream.

Golden Parachute Compensation for Bitstream Named Executive Officers

The following table sets forth the aggregate dollar value of the various elements of compensation that each NEO of Bitstream would receive that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger, assuming the following:

 

   

the merger closed on February 1, 2012;

 

   

with respect to stock options and restricted stock awards, the price per share paid is $        ; and

 

   

the employment of each NEO will terminate immediately following the closing of the merger and each applicable NEO will receive severance payments and benefits under his Severance Agreement. See “—Severance Provisions for Executive officers of Bitstream.”

Any changes in these assumptions or estimates would affect the amounts shown in the following table. In addition, a portion of the equity amounts shown in the “Equity” column are expected to become vested in the ordinary course prior to the actual date the merger is completed.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, Messrs. Beitzel, Kaminski, Lubrano, and Martynek fulfilled all functions of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Bitstream with regard to determining compensation of executive officers of Bitstream. No member of the Compensation Committee of Bitstream was at any time in 2010 or at any other time an officer or employee of Bitstream, and no member had any relationship with Bitstream requiring disclosure as a related-person transaction in the section “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” No executive officer of Bitstream has served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a member of our board of directors or CompensationCommittee at any time in 2010.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

All related person transactions are reviewed, and reported to and, if required, approved by, our Board of Directors or audit committee, as applicable. The term “related person transactions” refers to transactions required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. MSDH has entered, or will enter into various arrangements with Bitstream which set forth both companies’ duties and responsibilities in the separation and distribution. Please see “Arrangements Between Bitstream and MSDH” for further details. Except for these intercompany arrangements, there were no other related person transactions of MSDH or Bitstream from January 1, 2010 through the date of this prospectus requiring approval or disclosure.

In connection with and prior to the execution of the Bitstream Merger Agreement by Monotype and Bitstream, each of the directors and executive officers of Bitstream and Bitstream’s two 10% stockholders, Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, L.P. and New Vernon Aegir Master Fund Ltd., entered into voting agreements with Monotype (the “Voting Agreements”). The Voting Agreements provide that the directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders of Bitstream are irrevocably obligated to vote their shares of Bitstream capital stock in favor of the Bitstream Merger and prohibits such stockholders from acquiring any additional shares of Bitstream capital stock or disposing of any shares of Bitstream capital stock beneficially owned by such person on the Separation Date.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following disclosure sets forth information concerning the compensation of Bitstream’s board of directors as of December 31, 2010. Historical information required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K is being provided with respect to the directors of Bitstream as a result of MSDH having been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream prior to the Distribution and the continuity of directors between Bitstream and MSDH after the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution.

Bitstream’s current director compensation guidelines stipulate that each director who is not an employee is entitled to receive $35,000 in cash compensation for service as a director and that each new non-employee director be awarded 25,000 restricted shares. In addition, our non-employee Chairman of the Board is entitled to receive an additional $15,000 in cash compensation for his service as Chairman. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Mr. Ying, Bitstream’s former chairman received $50,000; Messrs. Beitzel, Lubrano, Kaminski, and Kagan each received $35,000; and Messrs. Keating and Martynek each received $20,417. Upon their appointment or election to the Bitstream board of directors, Messrs. Kagan, Keating, and Martynek, also each received a restricted stock award of 25,000 shares which vests over five years in one-twentieth increments on each quarterly anniversary date from the date of the grant.

On August 12, 2010, Messrs. Beitzel, Lubrano, and Kaminski, were each granted a restricted stock award for 5,000 shares of Bitstream’s Class A Common Stock, which vests over five years in one-twentieth increments on each quarterly anniversary date from the date of the grant. On November 12, 2010 Messrs. Kagan, Kaminski, and Keating, were granted 4,500, 3,000 and 3,000, respectively, for their service on the Special Committee. From January 1, 2011 to April 20, 2011, the Board did not make any stock option grants to purchase Bitstream’s Class A Common Stock to any Bitstream director and made restricted stock awards on February 24, 2011 to Messrs. Kagan, Kaminski, and Keating, granting 4,500, 3,000 and 3,000, respectively, for their service on the Special Committee. Except for this equity compensation for service on the Special Committee, directors do not receive any other compensation for service on committees of the Bitstream board of directors.

The following table provides information on the compensation of Bitstream’s directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Ms. Chagnon did not receive separate compensation for her services as a director. In addition to Mr. Kaminski’s compensation as a director and Chairman of the Board, effective upon Mr. Kaminski’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer of Bitstream on an interim basis on May 1, 2011, Mr. Kaminski has been compensated $1,500 per day for serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Bitstream. For her compensation as Bitstream’s Chief Executive Officer, see Ms. Chagnon’s compensation discussed in this Registration Statement under the heading “Executive Compensation.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders may resell under this prospectus the shares of MSDH common stock that have been issued to them in the Distribution. The Selling Stockholders may sell the shares from time to time and may also decide not to sell all the shares they are permitted to sell under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker-dealers. Subject to the restrictions described in this prospectus, the shares of our common stock being offered under this prospectus may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders in any of the following ways:

 

   

our common stock may be sold through a broker or brokers, acting as principals or agents. Transactions through broker-dealers may include block trades in which brokers or dealers will attempt to sell our common stock as agent but may position and resell the block as principal to facilitate the transaction. Our common stock may be sold through dealers or agents or to dealers acting as market makers. Broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchase of our common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions);

 

   

our common stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market, or in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

our common stock may be sold through a block trade in which a broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

our common stock may be sold in private sales directly to purchasers; or

 

   

our common stock may be sold in such other transactions as permitted by law.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

Subject to any applicable restrictions under Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of shares or otherwise. In such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders also may sell shares short and redeliver shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers, which require the delivery of shares to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Stockholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving shares. Broker-dealers or agents and any other participating broker-dealers or the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with sales of shares. Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of a Selling Stockholder covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Table of Contents

The shares may be sold by Selling Stockholders only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exception from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition, each Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares.

A Selling Stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock that it owns and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.

We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act upon being notified by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer.

the number of shares involved;

 

   

the price at which such shares were sold;

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering                      approximately                  shares of our common stock will be outstanding. All of the shares issued in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates who receive shares in this offering.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Description of Our Capital Stock

Following the distribution, our authorized capital stock will consist of 30,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. The description set forth below discusses all of the material terms of our charter and bylaws. The full text of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or certificate and bylaws are set forth in Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the registration statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus is a part.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of common stock vote together with the holders of preferred stock as one class. Subject to the rights of holders of any shares of preferred stock which may at the time be outstanding, holders of common stock will be entitled to such dividends as the Board of Directors may declare out of funds legally available therefor. Subject to the prior rights of creditors and holders of any preferred stock which may be outstanding from time to time, the holders of common stock are entitled, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of MSDH, to share equally in the distribution of all remaining assets. The common stock is not liable for any calls or assessments and is not convertible into any other securities. In addition, there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Preferred Stock

The certificate of incorporation of MSDH provides that the Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, from time to time, in one or more series. Prior to the issuance of shares in each series, the board of directors is required by the certificate and the Delaware General Corporation Law to adopt resolutions and file a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions Thereof or the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, fixing for each such series the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights applicable to the shares to be included in any such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, including, but not limited to, dividend rights, dividend rate or rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences as are permitted by Delaware law.

The Board of Directors of MSDH has adopted resolutions that:

(a) provide that in connection with any offering of preferred stock, MSDH will not offer preferred stock to promoters except on the same terms as it is offered to all other existing or new shareholders in such offering; and

(b) require a majority of independent and disinterested directors to approve any offering of preferred stock and for MSDH to provide such independent and disinterested directors access to MSDH’s legal counsel or independent legal counsel.

Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions and Delaware Law

After the distribution, certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of MSDH could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The certificate of incorporation eliminates the right of stockholders to take action by written consent. The issuance of preferred stock authorized in the certificate of incorporation could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. Such preferred stock could be utilized to implement, without stockholder approval, a stockholders’ rights plan or “poison pill” that could be triggered by certain change in control transactions, which could delay or prevent a change in control or could impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving MSDH. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock, including the loss of voting control to others. We have no current plans to issue shares of preferred stock.

In addition, the bylaws provide, among other things, that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors or, the chairman of the Board of Directors. The bylaws also establish procedures, including advance notice procedures with regard to the nomination, other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, of candidates for election as directors.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

Bitstream Stock Option Plans

Bitstream currently maintains six separate equity compensation plans under which options or other stock-based awards remain outstanding: (i) the Bitstream Inc. 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”), (ii) the Bitstream Inc. 2000 Stock Plan (the “2000 Bitstream Plan”), (iii) the PageFlex, Inc. 2000 Stock Plan (the “2000 PageFlex Plan”), (iv) the MyFonts.com 2000 Stock Plan (the “2000 MyFonts Plan”), (v) the Bitstream Inc. 1997 Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”), and (vi) the Bitstream Inc. 1994 Stock Plan (the “1994 Plan”).

The 2006 Plan was adopted by the board of directors of Bitstream on April 14, 2006, and approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 1, 2006. Upon the approval of the 2006 Plans, Bitstream discontinued making new grants under the older plans. However, the older plans continue to govern grants made prior to approval of the 2006 Plans.

The 2006 Plan

The 2006 Plan authorizes a committee of two or more directors designated by the board of directors to administer the 2006 Plan to grant an option, restricted stock, stock granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, other stock-based award, performance award or annual incentive award to make direct purchases to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of class A common stock.

The purpose of the 2006 Plan is to assist Bitstream in attracting, retaining and rewarding high-quality executives, employees and other persons who provide services to Bitstream and/or its subsidiaries, enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in Bitstream to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and its shareholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of shareholder value. The 2006 Plan is also intended to qualify certain compensation awarded under the 2006 Plan for tax deductibility under Code Section 162(m).

Participation in the 2006 Plan is available to each executive officer and other officers and employees of Bitstream or of any subsidiary, and other persons who provide services to Bitstream or any of its subsidiaries, including directors of Bitstream. An employee on leave of absence may be considered as still in the employ of Bitstream or a subsidiary for purposes of eligibility for participation in the 2006 Plan.

The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, or such other committee as may be appointed by the board of directors (the “Committee”) provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more directors, each of whom shall be (i) a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, unless administration of the 2006 Plan by “non-employee directors” is not then required in order for exemptions under Rule 16b-3 to apply to transactions under the 2006 Plan, and (ii) an “outside director” as defined under Code Section 162(m), unless administration of the 2006 Plan by “outside directors” is not then required in order to qualify for tax deductibility under Code Section 162(m).

The board of directors may at any time terminate the 2006 Plan or make such modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, (i) the board of directorsmay not, without the approval of the stockholders, increase the maximum number of shares for which options or warrants may be granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive options or warrants under the 2006 Plan, and (ii) any such modification or amendment of the 2006 Plan shall be approved by a majority of the stockholders of Bitstream to the extent that such stockholder approval is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Code, rules promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, applicable state law, or applicable National Association of Securities Dealers or exchange listing requirements. Termination or any modification or amendment of the 2006 Plan shall not, without an award holder’s consent, affect his or her rights under any award theretofore granted to such award holder.

 

78


Table of Contents

In each fiscal year during any part of which the 2006 Plan is in effect, an eligible person may not be granted Awards relating to more than 200,000 shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10(c) of the 2006 Plan, under each of Plan Sections 6(b), 6(c), 6(d), 6(e), 8(b) and 8(c). In addition, the maximum cash amount that may be earned under the 2006 Plan as a final annual incentive award or other cash annual award in respect of any fiscal year by any one participant shall be $1,000,000 and the maximum cash amount that may be earned under the 2006 Plan as a final performance award or other cash award in respect of a performance period other than an annual period by any one participant on an annualized basis shall be $1,000,000.

The right of a participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any award subject to performance conditions, except as limited under Plan Sections 8(b) and 8(c) in the case of a performance award or annual incentive award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m).

The 2000 Plans

The 2000 Bitstream Plan was adopted by the board of directors on February 11, 2000, and approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting held on July 25, 2000. The 2000 Bitstream Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), warrants (“Warrants”), awards of stock (“Awards”) and authorizations to make direct purchases of stock (“Purchases”) to certain directors, officers and employees of Bitstream, its parent (if any) and present or future subsidiaries of Bitstream. The 2000 Bitstream Plan further provided for the grant of NQSOs, Warrants, Awards and Purchases to directors and agents of, and consultants to, the Related Corporations, whether or not employees of the Related Corporations.

The purpose of the 2000 Bitstream Plan was to provide incentives to employees, agents, consultants and directors. ISOs, NQSOs and Warrants granted under the 2000 Bitstream Plan may not be exercisable for terms in excess of 10 years from the date of grant. In addition, no ISOs, NQSOs or Warrants may be granted under the 2000 Bitstream Plan later than 10 years after the 2000 Bitstream Plan’s effective date. The exercise price of any NQSO or Warrant is fixed by the board of directors or its Compensation Committee on the date it is granted and the exercise price of an ISO shall be not less than the fair market value per share of the Class A Common Stock on the date it is granted. The shares subject to and available under the 2000 Bitstream Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock reacquired by Bitstream in any manner. If any ISO, NQSO or Warrant granted under the 2000 Bitstream Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, or if Bitstream shall reacquire any unvested shares issued pursuant to Awards or Purchases, the unpurchased shares subject to such ISO, NQSO or Warrant and any unvested shares so reacquired by Bitstream shall again be available for grants of ISOs, NQSOs, Warrants, Awards or Purchases under the 2000 Bitstream Plan.

If an ISO holder’s employment with Bitstream and all Related Corporations ceases, for any reason other than death or disability, no further installments of his ISOs shall become exercisable, and all ISOs held by him on the date his employment ceases will terminate on the earlier of the ISO’s expiration date or 90 days after the date his employment ceases. If an NQSO holder’s business relationship with Bitstream and all Related Corporations ceases, for any reason other than death or disability, no further installments of his NQSOs shall become exercisable, and all NQSOs held by him on the date his business relationship ceases will terminate on the earlier of the NQSO’s expiration date or as determined by the board of directors. If an option holder dies or is disabled, his option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquires the option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the earlier of the option’s expiration and, in the case

Table of Contents

of an ISO, 90 days after the occurrence of his death or 180 days after the date of his disability, or in the case of a NQSO, as determined by the Board. On the earlier of such dates, the option terminates.

No ISO, NQSO, Warrant, Award or Purchase is assignable or transferable by the holder thereof except by will or by laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the holder thereof the ISO, NQSO, Warrant, Award or Purchase may be exercisable only by him.

The number and price of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by each ISO, NQSO or Warrant, the total number of shares that may be sold under the 2000 Bitstream Plan, and the maximum number of shares that may be sold, issued or transferred to an employee, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect, any stock dividend or stock split of the Class A Common Stock or any recapitalization of Bitstream. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon consummation of a consolidation or merger of Bitstream into another entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Bitstream, all outstanding ISOs, NQSOs, and Warrants will become fully vested and immediately exercisable. In the event of a distribution or liquidation of Bitstream, each outstanding ISO, NQSO or Warrant shall terminate.

The board of directors may at any time terminate the 2000 Bitstream Plan or make such modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, (i) the board of directors may not, without the approval of the stockholders, increase the maximum number of shares for which options or warrants may be granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive options or warrants under the 2000 Bitstream Plan, and (ii) any such modification or amendment of the 2000 Bitstream Plan shall be approved by a majority of the stockholders of Bitstream to the extent that such stockholder approval is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Code, rules promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, applicable state law, or applicable National Association of Securities Dealers or exchange listing requirements. Termination or any modification or amendment of the 2000 Bitstream Plan shall not, without an option holders consent, affect his or her rights under any option or warrant theretofore granted to such option holder.

The 2000 Bitstream Plan is administered by the board of directors which determines, in its discretion, among other things, the recipients of grants, whether a grant will consist of ISOs, NQSOs, Warrants, Awards, Purchases or a combination thereof, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be subject to such ISOs, NQSOs, Warrants, Awards or Purchases. In accordance with the discretion granted to the board of directors under the terms of the 2000 Bitstream Plan, the board of directors may delegate its power, duties and responsibilities under the 2000 Bitstream Plan to the Compensation Committee. The 2000 Bitstream Plan contained certain limitations applicable only to ISOs granted thereunder. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the shares to which ISOs become exercisable for the first time by an option holder during the calendar year exceeds $100,000, the ISO will be treated as a NQSO or a Warrant. In addition, if an option holder owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Bitstream or any Related Corporation at the time the individual is granted an ISO, the exercise price per share cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value per share of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

At the same time that the board of directors of Bitstream approved the 2000 Bitstream Plan, the board of directors of Bitstream’s two subsidiaries, PageFlex, Inc., and MyFonts.com, Inc., adopted the 2000 PageFlex Plan and the 2000 MyFonts Plan. The terms of these two plans provided for the grant of ISOs, NQSOs, and Warrants to the employees of the two subsidiaries, and the terms were substantially identical to the terms of the 2000 Bitstream Plan.

The 1997 Plan

The 1997 Plan was adopted by the board of directors on March 10, 1997, and approved by the stockholders of Bitstream at the annual meeting held on May 28, 1997. The 1997 Plan provided for the grant of ISOs, NQSOs and warrants to certain directors, officers and employees of Bitstream. The 1997 Plan further provided for the

Table of Contents

grant of NQSOs and warrants to directors and agents of, and consultants to, Bitstream, whether or not employees of Bitstream. The purpose of the 1997 Plan was to attract and retain employees, agents, consultants and directors.

Options and warrants granted under the 1997 Plan could not be exercisable for terms in excess of 10 years from the date of grant. In addition, no options or warrants could be granted under the 1997 Plan later than 10 years after the 1997 Plan’s effective date. The exercise price of any NQSO or warrant was fixed by the board of directors on the date it was granted and the exercise price of an ISO could not be less than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock it is on the date it was granted. The shares subject to and available under the 1997 Plan could consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued stock or treasury stock not reserved for any other purpose. Any shares subject to an option or warrant that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, and any shares purchased pursuant to an option or warrant and subsequently repurchased by Bitstream pursuant to the terms of the option, shall again be available for grant under the 1997 Plan.

If an option holder’s employment with Bitstream ceases, for any reason other than death or disability, all options held by him on the date his employment ceases will terminate on the earlier of the option’s expiration or, in the case of an ISO, 90 days after the date his employment ceases, and in the case of an NQSO, as determined by the Board.

If an option holder dies or is disabled, his option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquires the option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the earlier of the option’s expiration and, in the case of an ISO, 90 days after the occurrence of his death or 180 days after the date of his disability, or in the case of a NQSO, as determined by the Board. On the earlier of such dates, the option terminates.

No option is assignable or transferable by the option holder except by will or by laws descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the option holder the option may be exercisable only by him.

The number and price of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by each option, the total number of shares that may be sold under the 1997 Plan, and the maximum number of shares that may be sold, issued or transferred to an employee, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect, any stock dividend or stock split of the Class A Common Stock or any recapitalization of Bitstream. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon consummation of a consolidation or merger of Bitstream into another entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Bitstream, all outstanding options and warrants will become fully vested and immediately exercisable. In the event of a distribution or liquidation of Bitstream, each outstanding option or warrant shall terminate.

The board of directors may at any time terminate the 1997 Plan or make such modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, (i) the board of directors may not, without the approval of the stockholders, increase the maximum number of shares for which options or warrants may be granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive options or warrants under the 1997 Plan, and (ii) any such modification or amendment of the 1997 Plan shall be approved by a majority of the stockholders of Bitstream to the extent that such stockholder approval is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Code, rules promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, applicable state law, or applicable National Association of Securities Dealers or exchange listing requirements. Termination or any modification or amendment of the 1997 Plan shall not, without an option holders consent, affect his or her rights under any option or warrant theretofore granted to such option holder.

The 1997 Plan is administered by the board of directors which will determine, in its discretion, among other things, the recipients of grants, whether a grant will consist of ISOs, NQSOs or warrants or a combination thereof, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be subject to such options or warrants.

The 1997 Plan contains certain limitations applicable only to ISOs granted thereunder. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the shares to which ISOs become exercisable for the first time by an option holder during the calendar year exceeds $100,000, the ISO will be treated as a NQSO.

The 1994 Plan

The 1994 Plan was adopted by the board of directors on December 7, 1994, and approved by the stockholders of Bitstream prior to the company’s initial public offering. The 1994 Plan provided for the grant of ISOs, NQSOs and warrants to certain directors, officers and employees of Bitstream. The 1994 Plan further provided for the grant of NQSOs and warrants to directors and agents of, and consultants to, Bitstream, whether or not employees of Bitstream. The purpose of the 1994 Plan was to attract and retain employees, agents, consultants and directors.

Options and warrants granted under the 1994 Plan could not be exercisable for terms in excess of seven years and one day from the date of grant in the case of NQSOs and warrants, and 10 years from the date of grant in the case of ISOs. In addition, no options or warrants could be granted under the 1994 Plan later than 10 years after the 1994 Plan’s effective date. The exercise price of any NQSO or warrant was fixed by the board of directors on the date it was granted and the exercise price of an ISO could not be less than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock it is on the date it was granted. The shares subject to and available under the 1994 Plan could consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued stock or treasury stock not reserved for any other purpose. Any shares subject to an option or warrant that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, and any shares purchased pursuant to an option or warrant and subsequently repurchased by Bitstream pursuant to the terms of the option, shall again be available for grant under the 1994 Plan.

If an option holder’s employment with Bitstream ceases, for any reason other than death or disability, all options held by him on the date his employment ceases will terminate on the earlier of the option’s expiration or, in the case of an ISO, 90 days after the date his employment ceases, and in the case of an NQSO, as determined by the Board.

If an option holder dies or is disabled, his option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who acquires the option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the earlier of the option’s expiration and, in the case of an ISO, 90 days after the occurrence of his death or 180 days after the date of his disability, or in the case of a NQSO, as determined by the Board. On the earlier of such dates, the option terminates.

No option is assignable or transferable by the option holder except by will or by laws descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the option holder the option may be exercisable only by him.

The number and price of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by each option, the total number of shares that may be sold under the 1994 Plan, and the maximum number of shares that may be sold, issued or transferred to an employee, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect, any stock dividend or stock split of the Class A Common Stock or any recapitalization of Bitstream.

MSDH Incentive Compensation Plan

General

The Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) will be adopted by the board of directors of MSDH and approved by the board of directors of Bitstream as the sole shareholder of MSDH prior to the Distribution. It is anticipated that the plan will provide for the grant of awards in the form of options (which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, stock granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, other stock-based awards, performance awards or annual incentive awards. The maximum number of shares of stock with respect to which awards can be granted will be                  shares, plus the number of shares subject to the MSDH Options, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan to reflect the effect of mergers, recapitalizations, stock splits and reverse splits, extraordinary dividends, and similar transactions.

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan will be to assist us in attracting, retaining and rewarding high-quality executives, employees and other persons who provide services to us and/or our subsidiaries, enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in us to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and our shareholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of shareholder value. The Plan is also intended to qualify certain compensation awarded under the Plan for tax deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

Eligibility

Participation in the Plan will be available to each executive officer and other officers and employees of MSDH or of any subsidiary, and other persons who provide services to MSDH or any of its subsidiaries, including directors of MSDH. An employee on leave of absence may be considered as still in the employ of MSDH or a subsidiary for purposes of eligibility for participation in the Plan.

Administration

The Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, or such other committee as may be appointed by the board of directors (the “Committee”), provided, however, that, unless otherwise

 

83


Table of Contents

determined by the board of directors, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more directors, each of whom shall be (i) a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), unless administration of the Plan by “non-employee directors” is not then required in order for exemptions under Rule 16b-3 to apply to transactions under the Plan, and (ii) an “outside director” as defined under Code Section 162(m), unless administration of the Plan by “outside directors” is not then required in order to qualify for tax deductibility under Code Section 162(m).

The board of directors may at any time terminate the Plan or make such modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, (i) the board of directors may not, without the approval of the stockholders, increase the maximum number of shares for which options or warrants may be granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive options or warrants under the Plan, and (ii) any such modification or amendment of the Plan shall be approved by a majority of the stockholders of MSDH to the extent that such stockholder approval is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Code, rules promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, applicable state law, or applicable National Association of Securities Dealers or, if applicable, exchange listing requirements. Termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without an award holder’s consent, affect his or her rights under any award theretofore granted to such award holder.

Limitations

In each fiscal year during any part of which the Plan is in effect, an eligible person may not be granted stock-based awards relating to more than                  shares of stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. In addition, the maximum cash amount that may be earned under the Plan as a final annual incentive award or other cash annual award in respect of any fiscal year by any one participant shall be $         and the maximum cash amount that may be earned under the Plan as a final performance award or other cash award in respect of a performance period other than an annual period by any one participant on an annualized basis shall be $        .

The right of a participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any award subject to performance conditions, except in the case of a performance award or annual incentive award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m).

Grants

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, MSDH is required to grant the MSDH Options to holders of unexercised options to acquire Bitstream Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there were unexercised options to acquire                  shares of Bitstream Common Stock.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Under present U.S. federal income tax law, a participant generally will recognize ordinary income at the time such participant receives cash or shares of stock pursuant to an award under the Plan (or upon the subsequent vesting of such stock, if the participant receives unvested shares), subject to the special rules regarding options and stock appreciation rights discussed below. Subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, we are generally entitled to a tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income attributable to an award under the Plan. Our policy is to maximize the tax deductibility of its compensation plan but it may elect to forgo deductibility for federal income tax purposes if such action is, in its opinion, necessary or appropriate to further the goals of the Plan.

A participant will generally not recognize any ordinary income upon the grant of an option or stock appreciation right. A participant who exercises a non-qualified option or a stock appreciation right will generally recognize

 

84


Table of Contents

ordinary income equal to the excess of the value of the stock subject to the award over the purchase price for the award. A participant who exercises an incentive stock option will not be required to recognize any taxable income at the time of exercise, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction, provided that the incentive stock option is exercises while the participant is still employed by the company or one of our subsidiaries, or within 90 days after terminating employment (one year in the case of death or disability). If the participant then holds the stock until the later of one year from the date of exercise or two years from the date of grant of the incentive stock option, he or she will not be required to recognize any ordinary income. However, if the participant disposes of the stock before this time (a “disqualifying disposition”), he or she will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of the amount of gain realized on the sale, or the excess of the value of the stock at the time of exercise over the exercise price. We will be entitled to a tax deduction only if and to the extent the participant recognizes taxable income under these rules.

DESCRIPTION OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Bitstream has the following employee benefit plans for employees located in the United States:

 

   

The Bitstream Investment Plan & Trust, which is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, employees may voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, and Bitstream may, but is not obligated to, match a portion of the employee’s contribution up to a defined maximum. Bitstream contributed $165, $183, and $180 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

   

Medical and Dental Plans. These are fully insured health plans currently underwritten by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. Previously, the dental coverage and optional additional vision coverage were underwritten by MetLife. Employees who elect to participate pay a portion of the premium for coverage by withholding from their compensation on a pre-tax basis, and Bitstream pays the remaining premiums. Bitstream paid $901, $870, and $880 in premiums for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

   

Disability Coverage and Life Insurance. Bitstream provides short-term disability coverage for a maximum period of 11 weeks days, and long-term disability coverage that takes effect after the 11 week short-term period for an employee who becomes permanently disabled. Both short-term and long-term policies provide benefits equal to approximately 60% of the employee’s compensation. Separate policies are provided for employees located in California, and all other US employees. Bitstream also provides group term life insurance equal to one times the deceased employee’s annual compensation, with certain additional benefits in the event of accidental death or dismemberment. The policies are underwritten by Prudential Insurance Company, and Bitstream pays the entire premium. Bitstream paid $51, $60, and $61 in premiums for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

   

The Bitstream Flexible Benefits Plan, which is a cafeteria plan qualified under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code that allows eligible employees to have a portion of their compensation withheld on a pre-tax basis and credited to an account to be used to pay qualified medical and/or dependent care expenses. Bitstream does not make any contribution to this plan, although in certain circumstances it may be required to pay medical expenses that exceed the amount that an employee has contributed.

Each of these benefit plans will be assigned by Bitstream to MSDH, and assumed by MSDH, as part of the Separation and Distribution, and employees of MSDH and its subsidiaries will continue to participate in the plans. Employees who continue to be employed by Bitstream following the Separation and Distribution will generally not be eligible to participate in the plans, and will be treated as terminated employees under the terms of the plans, except that such employees may, by agreement between MSDH and Monotype, continue to participate in the plans for a short transitional period, in which case MSDH will be reimbursed by Monotype for the cost of covering such employees. MSDH has no present plans to make any changes to the terms of the plans, but reserves the right to do so at any time.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our certificate of incorporation and amended and by-laws include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL and (ii) permits us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under DGCL. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the registrant or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the registrant or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the director and the registrant and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements will provide indemnification to our directors and officers under certain circumstances for acts or omissions which may not be covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law.

 

88


Table of Contents

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion addresses certain material federal income tax considerations in respect of the contribution of the assets, liabilities and operations of Bitstream relating to the BOLT Products and Pageflex Products to MSDH (the “Contribution Transaction”), the subsequent distribution of the stock of MSDH by Bitstream to its stockholders (the “Distribution”), and the Bitstream Merger.

The following discussion does not include all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular Bitstream stockholders in light of their particular circumstances, or to stockholders who are subject to special tax rules, such as dealers in securities, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. expatriates, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies or tax-exempt organizations. This discussion also assumes that stockholders hold their shares as capital assets, and it does not apply to stockholders who are subject to alternative minimum tax or mark-to-market rules, stockholders who hold their shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction or conversion transaction, or stockholders who acquired their shares through stock option or stock purchase programs or otherwise as compensation. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of foreign, state or local or U.S. federal estate and gift taxation that may be applicable to a stockholder.

The following discussion is based on the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and practice, in each case as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change. Any such changes could be applied retroactively and could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions in this discussion and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Contribution Transaction, the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution. No ruling has been or will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with regard to any of the tax consequences of the Contribution Transaction, the Bitstream Merger or the Distribution.

For purposes of this discussion, we use the term “U.S. holder” to mean a beneficial owner of Bitstream common stock that is:

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Bitstream common stock that is not a U.S. holder.

If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of Bitstream common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Bitstream common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor.

Stockholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Contribution Transaction, the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution.

The Contribution Transaction

The assets related to the Pageflex and BOLT Products will be contributed by Bitstream to MSDH, which will assume the liabilities related thereto from Bitstream. Management believes that the liabilities assumed by MSDH will not exceed the tax basis of the assets contributed to MSDH. As a result, management believes that the Contribution Transaction, in and of itself, will not result in the recognition of taxable gain or loss by Bitstream or MSDH. Management further believes that the foregoing conclusion will not be adversely affected by the subsequent Distribution or the Bitstream Merger.

The Distribution: Tax on Bitstream

The Distribution will be a taxable event with respect to Bitstream as disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus under the headings “Arrangements between Bitstream and MSDH—Tax Indemnity Agreement” and “Risk Factors—The Distribution of MSDH stock by Bitstream may cause substantial tax liabilities to Bitstream.”

The Distribution and the Bitstream Merger: Tax on Stockholders

U.S. Holders

The Distribution

Each taxable U.S. stockholder of Bitstream receiving shares of MSDH common stock in the Distribution will generally be treated as if such stockholder received a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value at the time of the Distribution of the MSDH common stock received. Based on a recent appraisal, the aggregate value of all the shares of MSDH stock is expected to be approximately $19.8 million at such time. Management expects to report the Distribution as a dividend to the extent of Bitstream’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which subject to certain limitations may be taxable to individuals at a reduced rate of 15%. To the extent in excess of earnings and profits, the receipt of MSDH common stock will generally result in a reduction of a stockholder’s basis in Bitstream common stock and capital gain to the extent of any excess. Capital gains may be taxable at a reduced rate of 15% for individuals that have held their shares of Bitstream common stock for more than one year. A stockholder’s tax basis in MSDH common stock will be equal to its fair market value at the time of the spin-off of MSDH and the holding period in MSDH common stock will begin the day after the Distribution.

Corporate U.S. holders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction with respect to the Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limitations and requirements. Corporate U.S. holders should be aware that under certain circumstances, a corporation that receives an “extraordinary dividend” is required to (1) reduce its tax basis (but not below zero) by the portion of such dividend that is not taxed because of the dividends received deduction and (2) treat the non-taxed portion of such dividend as gain from the sale or exchange of the distributing corporation’s stock for the taxable year in which such dividend is received (to the extent that the non-taxed portion of such dividend exceeds such holder’s tax basis). A dividend paid on common stock is generally deemed to be “extraordinary” for this purpose if the amount of such dividend equals or exceeds ten percent of the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in such share of stock.

The Bitstream Merger

Management expects that the Bitstream Merger will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a purchase by Monotype Imaging of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Bitstream from the stockholders of Bitstream for cash, with each U.S. holder recognizing taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between the U.S. holder’s tax basis in his, her or its Bitstream shares considered to have been purchased by Monotype Imaging and the cash consideration received (before reduction for any withholding taxes) for such shares pursuant to the Bitstream Merger.

The gain or loss on the disposition of Bitstream shares generally will be capital gain or loss, and long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Bitstream shares is greater than one year as of the closing of the merger. If a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares is one year or less at the time of the closing of the merger, any capital gain or loss will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss and non-corporate stockholders could be subject to tax on such gain at rates applicable to ordinary income. Long-term capital gains for certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, are generally eligible for a reduced rate of federal income taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Gain or loss must be calculated separately for each block of Bitstream shares (i.e., shares acquired at the same time in a single transaction). U.S. holders who own separate blocks of Bitstream shares should consult their tax advisors with respect to these rules.

Information Returns and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments to a U.S. holder pursuant to the Bitstream Merger and Distribution, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Under the U.S. federal income

tax backup withholding rules, Monotype and/or Bitstream generally may be required to and may withhold 28% of all payments to which a U.S. holder or other payee is entitled, unless the U.S. holder or other payee (i) is a corporation or comes within other exempt categories and demonstrates this fact or (ii) provides its correct tax identification number (social security number in the case of an individual, or employer identification number in the case of other stockholders), certifies under penalties of perjury that the number is correct, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A U.S. holder can provide an IRS Form W-9 for this purpose. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Generally, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules described above can be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or refunded provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such exemption.

Non-U.S. Holders

The Distribution

Non-U.S. holders may be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% on the fair market value of the MSDH common stock received by them to the extent of their share of Bitstream’s earnings and profits, unless such non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed (i) IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that the amount treated as a taxable dividend is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Effectively connected dividends (and, if an income tax treaty applies, dividends attributable to a permanent establishment), although not subject to withholding tax, are subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by corporate non-U.S. holders that are effectively connected with a United States trade or business of the corporate non-U.S. holder (and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a corporate non-U.S. holder’s permanent establishment in the United States) may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified in an applicable income tax treaty). Unless a non-U.S. holder provides an appropriate form as described above, Bitstream will withhold 30% of the MDSH shares distributable to such holder and will pay over to the IRS in cash the maximum amount that Bitstream determines may be required to be withheld by it (out of the cash merger consideration or, if need be, out of a market sale of the retained MDSH shares on behalf of the non-U.S. holder). The balance of the MSDH shares and cash merger consideration will be distributed to the holder promptly thereafter. You should consult your own tax advisor as to your ability to obtain a refund or credit for any amount so withheld and paid over the IRS that may exceed the amount properly subject to withholding taxation.

The Bitstream Merger

Any taxable gain realized on the receipt of cash pursuant to the Bitstream Merger by a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A non-U.S. holder will be subject to information reporting and, in certain circumstances, backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply, unless the non-U.S. holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person as defined under the Code) or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. To avoid backup withholding, non-U.S. holders generally must submit a signed Form W-8BEN or other applicable Form W-8. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Generally, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules described above can be credited against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or refunded provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such exemption.

Disclosure of Reportable Transactions

A taxpayer who participates in a “reportable transaction” is required to attach a disclosure statement to his, her or its federal income tax return disclosing such taxpayer’s participation in the transaction. Subject to various exceptions, a reportable transaction can include a transaction that results in a loss exceeding certain thresholds. Failure to comply with these and other reporting requirements could result in the imposition of significant penalties. Stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any disclosure requirements to them.

The foregoing discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Contribution Transaction, the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution. In addition, the discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, a stockholder’s individual circumstances. Moreover, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state, or local tax consequences of the Contribution Transaction, the Bitstream Merger or the Distribution. EACH STOCKHOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONTRIBUTION TRANSACTION, THE BITSTREAM MERGER AND DISTRIBUTION TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER.

To the Board of Directors and management of Marlborough Software Development Holdings:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of divisional equity and statements of cashflows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marlborough Software Development Holdings (the ‘Company’) at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of Marlborough Software Development Holding’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

All references to “MSDH,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company” refer to Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation. All references to “Bitstream” or “parent” refer to Bitstream, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The financial statements represent two product lines of Bitstream, which subsequently (July 2011) were incorporated into MSDH, Inc. Except as otherwise noted, all reported dollar amounts are in thousands.

(1) Background and Nature of Operations:

On November 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bitstream authorized the Separation and Distribution of the Pageflex and Bolt Products from Bitstream to MSDH. On                     , the Board of Directors of Bitstream fixed as the record date to distribute to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MSDH, the “Distribution”. MSDH was formed in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger (the “Bitstream Merger”) with and acquisition by Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monotype”) and under the terms of the Contribution Agreement consists of the business of the Pageflex and Bolt product lines that were contributed to it by Bitstream, the “Separation”. The completion of the Separation and Distribution are conditions precedent to the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution must be completed at least three business days prior to the completion of the Bitstream Merger. The Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger will be consummated because management and the Board of Directors of Bitstream believe that it is in the best interest of shareholders to separate and allow for the merger of Bitstream’s business relating to its OEM and retail font and font technology products with Monotype.

MSDH, incorporated on July 18, 2011, is a software development company focused on bringing innovative and proprietary software products to a wide variety of markets. Our core software products include mobile browsing technologies and variable data publishing, Web-to-print, and multi-channel communications technologies.

MSDH is subject to risks common to technology-based companies, including dependence on key personnel, rapid technological change, competition from alternative product offerings and larger companies, and challenges to the development and marketing of commercial products and services. MSDH has also experienced net losses in the current year and negative operating cash flows, and as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) has an accumulated deficit of approximately $42 million.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. MSDH’s long-term viability is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient product revenue, net income and cash flows from operations to support its business as well as its ability to obtain additional financing, if needed. Management’s plans also include reducing operating costs and delaying certain expenditures, if necessary, to maintain the Company’s Liquidity. The Separation from Bitstream Inc. may disrupt our business and management, negatively affecting our business, operating results or financial condition and may cause other risks to the Company. MSDH has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and, for its liquidity, has relied on contributions from Bitstream. As of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), MSDH had accumulated contributions of $46.1 million from its parent company.

Bitstream has a cash balance of $ 3.2 million and investment balance of $6.6 million as of September 30, 2011 (unaudited). The cash and investments include $5.6 million corporate bonds, $0.9 million government bonds and $0.3 million money market funds and certificates of deposits, which are all measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (Note 6). Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, from and after the Separation Date through and as of the Distribution Date, Bitstream is required to fund the operating expenses of MSDH. On or about the Distribution Date, Bitstream shall contribute approximately

$         million to MSDH. Based on the Bitstream funding commitment from the Separation Date through the Distribution Date, and the expected $         million capital contribution from Bitstream to MSDH on or about the Distribution Date, management believes that MSDH’s cash as of the Separation Date and the Distribution Date together with cash generated from future operations and funds and contributions from Bitstream are, and will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least September 30, 2012.

There can be no assurance, however, that MSDH will not require additional financing in the future if funds from future operations or estimated expenses differ materially from those amounts estimated by management. If we were required to obtain additional financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sources of capital would be available on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Our unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, unaudited statements of operations and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the unaudited statement of changes in divisional equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for these periods is unaudited. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or any future period.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

(a) Basis of Presentation and Allocation methodologies

The financial statements of MSDH have been derived from the financial statements of Bitstream Inc. utilizing the following methodologies:

The MSDH balance sheet generally reflects the financial position of MSDH as if it had been a separate entity as of September 30, 2011. Only those assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable to the MSDH business or those assets and liabilities that were used primarily by the MSDH business, such as our leased facilities in the US, have been attributed and included in the balance sheet of MSDH. The MSDH statements of operations reflect revenue directly assigned to the MSDH business. Cost of revenue, research and development, and sales and marketing departments have historically been product specific and thus have been primarily assigned to MSDH based on product line information. Certain general and administrative (“G&A”) items that could be specifically identified and allocated, including amortization of intangibles, were allocated. Other general expenses that could not been specifically identified to a product line were allocated based on the most relevant measure, such as head count and product revenue.

Certain assets that were used by both Bitstream and MSDH were attributed to MSDH as the primary user of the assets. MSDH charges Bitstream a fee, approximating fair value, for the use of these assets. The fee is netted with the expenses of MSDH in the Statement of Operations and was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) or the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

There is significant judgment in determine the allocation of income, expense, and attribution of assets and liabilities. Management believes that the methodologies used in the allocation are reasonable.

(b) Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain estimates by us in

 

F-8


Table of Contents

determining our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these financial statements include MSDH allocation methodologies, revenue recognition, the valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation, income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSDH and its wholly-owned subsidiary: Bitstream Israel Ltd. (an Israel Corporation). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements represent two product lines of Bitstream, which subsequently (July 2011) were incorporated into MSDH, Inc.

(d) Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise

We conduct our operations in one business segment with two major product lines: mobile browsing and messaging technology, and automated marketing communication and print production technology.

(e) Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue from the license of our software products, and from consulting and support and maintenance services. Primarily, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the fee is probable.

Multiple-element arrangements:

We recognize revenue under multiple-element arrangements using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements under the arrangement. Under the residual method, the arrangement consideration is first allocated to undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value for each element and the residual amount is allocated to the delivered elements. Arrangement consideration allocated to undelivered elements is deferred and recognized as revenue when the elements are delivered, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. We have established sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence for the value of our training and maintenance services, based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. VSOE of the fair value of maintenance services is supported by substantive renewal rates within customer contracts.

License Revenue:

We receive and recognize licensing fees and royalty revenue from: (1) Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) customers for page composition technologies; (2) direct and indirect licenses of software publishing applications for the creation, enhancement, management, transport, viewing and printing of electronic information; (3) direct sales of custom design and consulting services to end users such as graphic artists, desktop publishers, corporations and resellers; and (4) sales of publishing applications to foreign customers primarily through distributors and resellers.

We recognize license revenue from the resale of our products through various resellers. Resellers may sell our products in either an electronic format or CD format. Revenue is recognized if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product, or for a CD product, upon delivery of the software.

Revenue from end user product sales is recognized upon delivery of the software, net of estimated returns and allowances, and when collection is probable.

 

F-9


Table of Contents

Service Revenue:

Professional services include custom design and development, and training. We recognize professional services revenue under software development contracts as services are provided for per diem contracts or by using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term fixed price contracts. Provisions for any estimated losses on contracts are made in the period in which such losses become probable. There are no amounts accrued at the balance sheet dates presented.

We recognize revenue from support and maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the agreement. Deferred revenue includes unearned software support and maintenance revenue, and advanced billings for unrecognized revenue from contracts.

Cost of revenue from software licenses consists primarily of hosting costs, amortization of intangibles related to the iWay product, and costs to distribute the product, including the cost of the media on which it is delivered. Cost of revenue from services consists primarily of costs associated with customer support, consulting and custom product development services.

We generally warrant that our products will function substantially in accordance with documentation provided to customers for approximately 90 days following initial delivery. We have not incurred any material expenses related to warranty claims.

(f) Research and Development Expenses

We sell products in a market that is subject to rapid technological change, new product development and changing customer needs. For software developed for sale, the time period during which costs could be capitalized from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release is very short, and consequently, the amounts that could be capitalized are not material to our financial position or results of operations. The costs to convert already developed technology to software as a service were immaterial and expensed as incurred. Therefore, we have charged all costs related to software development to research and development expense in the period incurred.

(g) Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which are all based on the historical information of Bitstream.

(h) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment consists of the following:

The net depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $165, $221, and $184, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009; we disposed of $26, $17 and $129, respectively, of property and equipment with accumulated depreciation of $24, $14 and $126, respectively, resulting in a net (loss) gain of $(2), $10 and $(4), respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we capitalized software of $554 (included in Software). No development costs for software to be sold externally were capitalized in 2010 or 2009. As of September 30, 2011, we have not yet recorded amortization for developed software and the net book value of internally developed software was $554.

(i) Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Transactions

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside the United States of America denominated in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are remeasured at the monthly average rates in effect during the periods. The effects of the remeasurement of the balances of our Israel subsidiary and of expenses incurred in India are included as gains (losses) and reported as other income in the statement of operations.

Transaction gain (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2009 were $(11) and $8, respectively, and recorded within interest and other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no transaction gain or loss for the year ended December 31, 2010.

(j) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We place a majority of our cash investments in one highly-rated financial institution. We have not experienced significant losses related to receivables from any individual customers or groups of customers in any specific industry or by geographic area. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by us to be inherent in our accounts receivable. We do not have any off-balance sheet risks as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), December 31, 2010 or 2009. At September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), three customers accounted for 22%, 18% and 14% of our accounts receivable. At December 31, 2010, no customer accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable. At December 31, 2009, two customers accounted for 12% each of our accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 2011 (Unaudited), one customer accounted for 22% of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no single customer accounted for 10% or greater of the revenue.

(k) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Alaras Corporation in 1998, as well as the purchase of certain assets from Press-Sense Ltd. on June 3, 2010. Goodwill was $3,297, $3,297 and $498 at September 30, 2011

 

F-11


Table of Contents

(Unaudited), December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The only change to goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2010 was for the addition of goodwill of $2,799 related to the acquisition of certain assets of Press-Sense in 2010 (Note 5).

Goodwill is not amortized, but is required to be reviewed annually for impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. MSDH has determined that it has one reporting unit for purposes of goodwill assessment and thus goodwill is tested for impairment based upon an enterprise wide valuation. The Separation event was considered a triggering event, and therefore goodwill was also assessed at September 30, 2011. MSDH has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill to date.

Other Intangible Assets

The carrying amounts of other intangible assets were $3,172, $3,463 and $63 as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded under the purchase method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. MSDH amortizes other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Marketing-related intangibles have useful lives of four to eight years. Technology-based intangible assets have useful lives of five to twelve years. The weighted average useful life of other intangible assets is 9 years.

We review our long-lived assets (which include finite lived intangible assets and property and equipment) for impairment as events and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate the realizability of our long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow expectations for the related asset or subsidiary. We believe that, as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited), December 31, 2010 and 2009, none of our long-lived assets were impaired.

(l) Software Development Costs

We incur costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that qualify for capitalization. Development costs for software to be sold externally incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, but prior to the general release of the product, are capitalized and, upon general release, are amortized over the expected life of the related products

(m) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for MSDH on January 1, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. As the new guidance relates only to how comprehensive income is disclosed and does not change the items that must be reported as comprehensive income, adoption will not have an effect on MSDH’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which simplifies how companies test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in the goodwill accounting standard. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. MSDH does not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(3) Loss Per Share:

MSDH had 5 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the date of incorporation. On November 10, 2011, the Company amended its authorized shares to be 30,500 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 and 10,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. MSDH plans to issue shares of MSDH stock on a one for one basis to holders of Bitstream stock.

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Basic net loss per share of MSDH is determined by dividing the net loss of MSDH by Bitstream’s historical weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share do not include the effect of common stock equivalents as MSDH has incurred a net loss for the periods presented, and therefore common stock equivalents are considered antidilutive. As a result, there is no difference between MSDH’s basic and diluted loss per share for nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

If MSDH had reported a profit for the periods, the potential common shares would have increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 323, 603 and 467 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, based on the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding. Additionally, there were warrants and options outstanding to purchase 490, 511 and 437 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that were not included in the potential common share computations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Bitstream’s common stock. These common stock equivalents are antidilutive even when a profit is reported in the numerator.

(4) Income Taxes:

MSDH’s operating results historically have been included in Bitstream’s consolidated U.S. and state tax returns. The provision for income taxes in MSDH’s financial statements has been determined on a separate-return basis, under which a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

A reconciliation between the provision for income taxes computed at statutory rates and the amount reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of pre-tax income is as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, we have recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $3,944 related to the benefit of deductions from stock options included in the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) and fully reserved against in the valuation allowance. When and if we realize this asset, this benefit will be recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The following is a summary of foreign income and domestic pretax loss:

At December 31, 2010, MSDH had U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards of $42,158 and $8,695, respectively, of which the benefit of approximately $11,600 and $1,911 respectively, when realized, will be recorded as a credit to additional paid -in capital.

MSDH’s NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2020 for federal purposes and in 2011 for state purposes. MSDH also had U.S. federal and state research and development credit (“R&D Credit”) carryforwards of $854 and $304, respectively. These R&D credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2011 for federal purposes and 2016 for state purposes.

In 2008, MSDH experienced a change in ownership as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. MSDH raised capital through their initial issuance of common stock in 1996 which, combined with shareholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, resulted in a change of control as defined by Section 382. As of December 31, 2010, $11,283 of the limited NOLs have not been utilized. Subsequent ownership changes, as defined in Section 382, could limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.

In June 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy in order for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. MSDH adopted this guidance on January 1, 2007, the implementation of which did not have a material impact on MSDH’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and also at December 30, 2009, and December 31, 2010, MSDH had no unrecognized tax benefits. MSDH has not conducted a study of its research and development credit

carryforwards. Such a study may result in an adjustment to MSDH’s research and development credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position under this guidance. A full valuation allowance has been provided against MSDH’s research and development credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance. Thus, there would be no impact to the consolidated balance sheet or statement of operations if an adjustment were required.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2010, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2006 through 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. We have determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, therefore, a valuation allowance has reduced the net deferred tax assets to zero.

The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $1,041 is primarily related to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $3,134 is primarily related to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards.

We have made permanent investments in the foreign subsidiary, Bitstream Israel Ltd. Therefore, we do not provide for U.S. income taxes applicable to the undistributed earnings.

(5) Acquisition:

On June 3, 2010, Bitstream completed the acquisition of certain of the assets of Press-Sense Ltd. (“Press-Sense”) pursuant to terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 31, 2010 by and among Bitstream, Bitstream Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSDH organized under the Laws of the State of Israel and the court appointed Special Manager of Press-Sense Ltd., an Israeli company in temporary liquidation under the supervision of the District Court of Haifa. The purchase price of $6,528, including $28 of VAT, was paid in cash. Assets purchased include all Press-Sense software and know-how and related intellectual property rights (both source code and object code), certain fixed and tangible assets, and all trademarks, transferable licenses and customer data. No liabilities were acquired in the transaction.

The results of operations of the Press-Sense assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements of MSDH since June 3, 2010. MSDH recorded revenue of $305 related to Press-sense for the period from June 3, 2010, the acquisition date, through December 31, 2010.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with appropriate standards. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of $6,528:

Goodwill was recognized for the excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected growth from synergies related to the integration of Press-Sense assets acquired with the Pageflex automated marketing communication and print production software. Goodwill from the acquisition of Press-Sense Ltd. assets is included within MSDH’s one reporting unit and is included in MSDH’s enterprise-level annual review for impairment. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

(6) Fair Value Measurements:

The fair value measurement rules establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Under authoritative guidance fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

This guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company holds a certificate of deposit of which $136 was classified as other long term assets on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2010 and 2009, relating to the Marlborough, MA office lease. Certificates of Deposit are carried at cost which approximates fair value and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies:

Lease commitments of MSDH

We conduct our operations in leased facilities. In June 2009, we entered into a ten-year lease agreement for 27 thousand square feet of office space with the right of first refusal on an additional 4 thousand square feet in a building located in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This lease agreement commenced September 1, 2009 and obligates us to make minimum lease payments plus our pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. The lease payments began after three (3) free months of rent and increase approximately 2% per annum. The total commitment under the lease is approximately $5,390, net of a tenant allowance of $411. We record rent expense on a straight-line basis, taking into consideration the free rent period, the tenant allowance received at the outset of the lease, and annual incremental increases to the lease payments. Our current lease agreement also required us to obtain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $136 to be in place through October 31, 2019, which we collateralized with a certificate of deposit classified as a long-term restricted asset on our Balance Sheet.

In January 2011 Bitstream Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSDH, entered into a thirty-six (36) month lease agreement in Caesarea, Israel. This lease agreement commenced April 15, 2011 and obligates us to make semi-annual payments including service taxes. Our total financial commitment during the thirty-six (36) month lease period is approximately $384 U.S. dollars. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a bank guarantee in the amount of approximately $56 U.S. dollars to be in place through May 14, 2014. The bank guarantee is classified as a long-term restricted asset on our Balance Sheet.

The future minimum annual lease payments under our leased facilities and equipment as of December 31, 2010, excluding any rent income of MSDH, and including the Israel lease signed in January 2011, are as follows:

The net rent expense charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009 was approximately $386, $440, and $391, respectively.

Royalties

We have certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is primarily based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense, which was recorded under our cost of software license revenue on our consolidated Statement of Operations, was approximately $70, $95, and $110, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Guarantees

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products.

 

F-18


Table of Contents

The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated liquidity of these agreements is minimal.

Legal Actions

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of the balance sheet date presented, no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of any such contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of any such contingencies.

(8) Stock-based Compensation Plans and Stock-based Compensation Expense:

(a) General

The stock option plan activities disclosed represent options granted to employees specifically assigned to MSDH, excluding those held by executives or other general shared personnel under the Bitstream Inc. stock option plans. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this guidance, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

Historically, Bitstream granted options and restricted stock from its 2006 Bitstream Incentive Compensation Plan and 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Bitstream Plans”). The Plans authorized grants of restricted stock, warrants, incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of Bitstream Inc. Class A Common Stock. Options granted under these Plans are exercisable at such price as shall be determined by Bitstream’s Board of Directors at the time of grant which, in the case of incentive stock options, shall be no less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Non-qualified options and warrants are generally granted at fair market value and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. All options granted vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth year anniversaries over a four year period of continuous employee service.

Each outstanding option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (the “Bitstream Options”) shall be divided into (i) one option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (each an “Adjusted Bitstream Option”) and (ii) one option to purchase a share of MSDH common stock (each a “New MSDH Option”). Each Adjusted Bitstream Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity compensation plan of Bitstream and as provided in the respective option agreements governing such Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such Adjusted Bitstream Option will be adjusted as described below. Each New MSDH Option shall be issued under the MSDH Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, to be established by MSDH prior to the Distribution Date, but shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such New MSDH Option will be adjusted as described below. In addition, the vesting of all Adjusted Bitstream Options and all New MSDH Options shall be accelerated upon completion of the Bitstream Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Bitstream and MSDH equity compensation plans, as applicable. The New MSDH Option shall be adjusted to the product of the original exercise price of such Bitstream Option multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the estimated enterprise value of MSDH and the denominator of which is the sum of the total consideration in the Bitstream Merger and the estimated enterprise value of MSDH.

 

F-19


Table of Contents

The exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and the New MSDH Options will be determined by allocating the exercise price of the original Bitstream Option between the two new options in proportion to the relative value per share of the stock of the two companies. For this purpose, the value of Bitstream stock will be determined by the price to be paid for each share of Bitstream common stock in the Bitstream Merger, and the value of MSDH stock will be based on the estimated enterprise value of MSDH, which is approximately $1.85 per share. Based upon Bitstream’s balance sheet as of                     , 2011 and our estimates of total transaction costs and certain assumptions about our results of operations through the closing date of the merger, we estimate that the price paid to Bitstream shareholders in the Bitstream Merger will be approximately $         per share. Based on these estimates, an existing Bitstream Option with an exercise price of $         per share will be divided into an Adjusted Bitstream Option and a New MSDH Option, and the exercise price of $         per share will be allocated between the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the New MSDH Option as follows:

 

Adjusted Bitstream

Option Exercise Price

   Bitstream Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $     x $     =
$     + $1.85
     $   

New MSDH Option

Exercise Price

   MSDH Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $1.85 x $     =

$     + $1.85

     $   

(b) Stock-based Compensation Expense

We currently estimate the fair value of Bitstream stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and our expected annual dividend yield, which are all based on the historical information of Bitstream. The expected term of options granted was estimated by calculating the average term from our historical stock option exercise experience. Estimated volatility of our common stock was based on Bitsteam’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate used in the option pricing model is based on zero-coupon yields implied from U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the options. Bitstream did not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore the expected dividend yield was zero in the option valuation model. We are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Historical data for Bitstream was used to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of our stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. These amounts, and the amounts applicable to future quarters, are also subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include but are not limited to, the issuance of new options. No options were granted during nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited). The following table summarizes the assumptions we utilized for grants of options in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

 

     Years Ended

     2010     2009

     6.6 Years        6.07 Years

All restricted stock awarded prior to January 1, 2010 vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth year anniversaries over a five year period of continuous employee service. All restricted stock awarded subsequent to January 1, 2010 vest in 20 equal quarterly installments on each quarterly anniversary from date of award over a five year period. Restricted stock awards were valued using the market price of Bitstream’s stock on the day of grant.

(9) Employee Benefit Plan:

The employees of MSDH participate in the Bitstream employee benefit plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Bitstream plan allows employees to make contributions up to a specified percentage of their compensation. Under the plan, Bitstream was allowed, but not obligated, to match a portion of the employees’ contributions up to a defined maximum. MSDH recorded $95, $120, and $126, for the nine months ended September 2011 (Unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for matching contributions made on behalf of those employees specifically assigned to MSDH as well as an allocation for executives and other shared general and administrative employees.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our certificate of incorporation and amended and by-laws include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL and (ii) permits us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under DGCL. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the registrant or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit,

 

II-1


Table of Contents

for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the registrant or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the director and the registrant and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements will provide indemnification to our directors and officers under certain circumstances for acts or omissions which may not be covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-177915

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as legal counsel to Marlborough Software Developing Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration by the Company of up 10,665,025 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 and any subsequent amendments thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream, Inc. (“Bitstream”), and the shares will be distributed by Bitstream to its stockholders for no consideration on a pro rata basis such that each stockholder of Bitstream shall receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Distribution”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

We have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion letter, including (a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, (b) the By-laws of the Company, as amended, (c) the Statement of the Sole Incorporator of the Company dated July 18, 2011, (d) Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company dated November 10, 2011 relating to, among other items, the authorization of the issuance of the Shares and the filing of the Registration Statement, (e) the Registration Statement, (f) a status certificate of the Department of State of the State of Delaware as of a recent date to the effect that the Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly authorized to transact business in the State of Delaware, (g) the Contribution Agreements dated November 10, 2011 by and between Bitstream and the Company; (h) the Distribution Agreement dated November 10, 2011 by and between Bitstream and the Company, (i) the Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreements dated November 10, 2011 between Bitstream and the Company, (j) the Tax Indemnity Agreement dated November 10, 2011 between the Company and Bitstream, (k) the Transition Services Agreement dated November 10, 2011 between the Company and Bitstream, and (l) such other documents, records and other instruments and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter (collectively, the “Documents”).

In all such examinations, we have assumed:

1. the genuineness of all signatures on original and certified Documents;

2. the legal capacity of all natural persons;

3. the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals;

4. the conformity to executed documents of all unexecuted copies submitted to us, and the conformity to the originals of photocopies;

5. the authority of each individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party (other than the Company);


6. that each of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which such party is a signatory, and such party’s obligations set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms; and

7. upon the issuance of the Shares, the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is then authorized to issue under its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

We are admitted to the Bar in the State of New York and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction, except the federal laws of the United States of America, and the general corporate laws of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to any state securities or blue sky laws.

Upon the basis of the foregoing and in reliance upon the representations made to us, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and when issued by the Company and distributed by Bitstream in the Distribution shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion is issued to you for use in connection with the Registration Statement and is not to be quoted or otherwise referred to in any financial statements of the Company or any other document, nor is it to be filed with or furnished to any government agency or other person, without our prior written consent.

We hereby consent to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement, and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission adopted under the Act.

 

Very truly yours,

take reasonable care to safeguard the confidential nature of, and to protect from the unauthorized disclosure or use, of any proprietary information received from the other Party, including, but not limited to: product information, product costs, units manufactured or sold, information pertaining to dispute settlements under this IPAL Agreement, and technical and business information relating to the Assigned Software, Assigned Patents and Assigned Trademarks and Tradenames (hereinafter referred to as “Proprietary Information”). Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, the Parties will hold in confidence, and will not disclose or communicate or permit to be disclosed or communicated to any person, any Proprietary Information of the other Party.

In protecting Proprietary Information, the receiving Party shall exercise the same degree of care to prevent the disclosure or communication of the Proprietary Information to other persons that it uses to protect its own proprietary information; however, in no case will that degree of care be less than reasonable care. The foregoing shall not supersede any other confidential obligations between the Parties.

10.2 Proprietary Information Exceptions. Either Party may disclose Proprietary Information of the other to such Party’s employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors to the extent that each such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of: manufacturing, selling, installing, repairing, and/or servicing any product made or used in accordance with any intellectual property assigned or licensed hereunder; or procuring goods and services required in connection therewith; provided that the disclosing Party’s employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors are bound to the same terms and conditions regarding the protection of the Proprietary Information as bind the Parties hereto.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.1 Dispute Settlement/Arbitration. Except as provided herein, no civil action with respect to any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this IPAL Agreement may be commenced unless the Parties have first attempted, in good faith, to resolve such dispute, claim, or controversy as provided in this Section 6.1.

ARTICLE 10

PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

10.1 Use and Non-disclosure. In fulfilling the purposes of this IPAL Agreement, as well as the future business relationship of the Parties, each Party will take reasonable care to safeguard the confidential nature of, and to protect from the unauthorized disclosure or use, of any proprietary information received from the other Party, including, but not limited to: product information, product costs, units manufactured or sold, information pertaining to dispute settlements under this IPAL Agreement, and technical and business information relating to the Assigned Software, Assigned Patents and Assigned Trademarks and Tradenames (hereinafter referred to as “Proprietary Information”). Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, the Parties will hold in confidence, and will not disclose or communicate or permit to be disclosed or communicated to any person, any Proprietary Information of the other Party. Proprietary Information, however, does not include any information that either Party can demonstrate that: (a) is now or subsequently becomes generally available or known to the public through no fault of the other Party; (b) was known or in the possession of the other Party prior to disclosure thereof to the receiving Party by disclosing Party; (c) is or was independently developed by a Party without the use of any Proprietary Information; (d) the receiving Party rightfully obtained the Proprietary Information from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose the information; or (e) the receiving Party is required to disclose or produce pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided the receiving Party notifies the disclosing Party of the requirement so as to give the disclosing Party an opportunity

 

-10-


to challenge the court order time permitting and without penalty of the receiving Party. In protecting Proprietary Information, the receiving Party shall exercise the same degree of care to prevent the disclosure or communication of the Proprietary Information to other persons that it uses to protect its own proprietary information; however, in no case will that degree of care be less than reasonable care. The foregoing shall not supersede any other confidential obligations between the Parties.

10.2 Proprietary Information Exceptions. Either Party may disclose Proprietary Information of the other to such Party’s employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors to the extent that each such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of: manufacturing, selling, installing, repairing, and/or servicing any product made or used in accordance with any intellectual property assigned or licensed hereunder; or procuring goods and services required in connection therewith; provided that the disclosing Party’s employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors are bound to the same terms and conditions regarding the protection of the Proprietary Information as bind the Parties hereto.

ARTICLE 11

Except with respect to trademarks, all rights and licenses granted by Marlborough under or pursuant to this License Agreement are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if this License Agreement is terminated under any applicable insolvency law, or Marlborough or an administrator refuses to further perform this License Agreement (or any of Marlborough’s obligations hereunder) under any applicable insolvency law, then Transferor may elect to retain all of its license rights under this License Agreement (including without limitation the rights described in Article 3 above) for the remainder of the term of this License Agreement.

each case to the extent available for use in the Short 2012 Taxable Year under applicable law. Bitstream shall, within twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such returns, if such tax returns would result in an indemnification obligation from Marlborough, deliver, or caused to be delivered, to Marlborough such income tax returns for Marlborough’s review and comment solely with respect to items that would result in or increase the amount of an indemnity payment under this Agreement and shall make such changes to such income tax returns solely with respect to items that would result in or increase the amount of an indemnity payment under this Agreement, as are reasonably requested by Marlborough, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Proc. 2011-29 Deductions”). Bitstream shall maintain or cause to be maintained such written information and records with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date as were maintained by Bitstream as of the Closing or as are prepared by Bitstream or an affiliate thereafter in the ordinary course of business, and shall make such information and records available to Marlborough within a reasonable time after Marlborough’s written request for purposes of exercising its rights under Section 5 hereof and this Section 2.

Section 3. Tax Losses.

(a) Marlborough hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold Bitstream harmless on an After Tax Basis from and against any Tax Loss to the extent such Tax

 

5


Loss exceeds any reduction in Net Asset Value attributable to Spin Off Taxes under the Merger Agreement.

(b) Section 3(a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, any indemnity payment hereunder shall not include a Gross Up Amount if Marlborough furnishes to Bitstream an Opinion of Marlborough’s Tax Counsel to the effect that there is Substantial Authority for the proposition that the indemnity amount payable hereunder (not determined on an After Tax Basis) does not constitute taxable income to Bitstream for federal income tax purposes. In such event, Marlborough shall indemnify Bitstream on an After Tax Basis under Section 3(a) against any adverse tax consequences resulting from the subsequent treatment of the indemnity payment in question as taxable income to Bitstream, including without limitation any reasonable expenses such as attorneys’ or accountants’ fees incurred by Bitstream in contesting such treatment.

(c) Following a Tax Loss, or if contested in accordance with Section 5, following a Final Determination (to the extent such Final Determination gives rise to an indemnity obligation hereunder) with respect to such Tax Loss, Bitstream shall give Marlborough written notice requesting payment of the indemnity and its calculation of the indemnity amount due after taking into account amounts previously advanced under Section 5. Any indemnity shall be paid within 30 days after the later of 30 days after receipt of such notice or 10 days after conclusion of any verification process pursuant to Section 6.

Section 4. Excluded Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tax Indemnity Agreement, Marlborough shall not be required to make any payment to Bitstream with respect to a Tax Loss (a) if such Tax Loss is a result of (i) Bitstream’s breach of Sections 2 or 5 after the Closing in such manner as materially to impair Marlborough’s rights under those Sections, (ii) Bitstream’s filing of an amended federal, state or local income or franchise tax

 

6


return after the Closing with respect to taxable years of Bitstream through and including the Short 2012 Taxable Year except as required by applicable law or with consent from Marlborough, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (iii) Bitstream’s making any tax election on any tax return for any taxable year after the Short 2012 Taxable Year, except as required by applicable law or with consent from Marlborough, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (b) if such Tax Loss would not have occurred but for an extension of a statute of limitations made by Bitstream after the Closing without the prior written consent of Marlborough not unreasonably to be withheld or delayed.

Section 5. Contest Provisions. If Bitstream receives a written notice of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service or a state or local taxing authority that, if sustained, would require Marlborough to pay an indemnity under this Tax Indemnity Agreement (a “Claim”), Bitstream will (a) so notify Marlborough in writing within 30 days of such receipt, (b) if permitted by law, not make payment of the tax claimed for at least 30 days after giving such notice, and (c) if requested by Marlborough in writing within 30 days after receipt of such notice by Marlborough (or, if less, within the period ending five days prior to the date, including extensions, on which Bitstream is required to respond to the Internal Revenue Service or such state or local taxing authority with respect to such Claim, but in no event less than five Business Days after receipt by Marlborough of such written notice from Bitstream), contest in good faith the validity, applicability and/or amount of such adjustment or such action or proposed action by the Internal Revenue Service or such other taxing authority in any and all administrative and judicial forums as may be legally available (including appellate forums in which the administrative or judicial body is required to hear the appeal); provided that Bitstream shall not be required to initiate or continue any such contest unless (x) Bitstream shall have received, at

 

7


the expense of Marlborough, an Opinion of Marlborough’s Tax Counsel to the effect that there is Substantial Authority for contesting such Claim, (y) Marlborough shall have agreed to pay and shall advance upon demand all reasonable expenses to be incurred by Bitstream to contest such action or proposed action by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements), and (z) in the event that Bitstream elects in its sole discretion to pay the tax claimed and seek a refund thereof, Marlborough shall make an interest free advance to Bitstream in the amount of such tax and interest, additions to tax and penalties thereon, if any, and shall agree to indemnify Bitstream on an After Tax Basis against any adverse tax consequences resulting from such interest free advance.

Provided that Marlborough has complied with clauses (x), (y) and (z) of the preceding paragraph, Bitstream shall consult with Marlborough and its counsel in good faith prior to taking any action to contest such Claim. Bitstream, at its sole option, may determine (a) the forum of any judicial contest, and (b) whether to pay the tax claimed and then seek a refund thereof, or not to pay the tax claimed and contest the Claim in the United States Tax Court or other appropriate forum. Upon a Final Determination with respect to the liabilities of Bitstream, or the receipt of a refund by Bitstream (or the application of such refund against other tax liability of Bitstream) with respect to a Claim contested hereunder, Bitstream shall offset against the amount due (including for this purpose any reasonable expenses not otherwise advanced or reimbursed) any amount advanced by Marlborough to Bitstream on an interest free basis pursuant to this Section 5, and either (q) Marlborough shall pay to Bitstream any excess of such amount due over the amount of such interest free advance, or (r) Bitstream shall repay to Marlborough any excess of such interest free advance over such amount due, in either case

 

8


within 30 days thereafter and, if Marlborough shall have paid an indemnity to Bitstream with respect to the adverse tax consequences of any interest free advance, the amount of any tax savings resulting from any payment by Bitstream to Marlborough pursuant to this sentence that are actually realized in the year of such payment. Any interest received by Bitstream (or which would have been received but for offset by unrelated matters) in connection with any refund that is allocable to indemnified taxes in respect of which Marlborough has made an interest free advance shall be for the account of Marlborough and shall be paid to Marlborough promptly after receipt thereof by Bitstream, including application of such refund against other tax liability of Bitstream.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bitstream, after consulting in good faith with Marlborough and its counsel and with the prior written consent of Marlborough, may refrain from contesting, or enter into a settlement with respect to, any Claim; provided that Bitstream may refrain from contesting, or may enter into a settlement with respect to, a Claim without consulting with Marlborough and its counsel and receiving Marlborough’s consent if Bitstream expressly and unconditionally waives Bitstream’s rights to the indemnities set forth in Section 3 with respect to such Claim. In the event that Bitstream so expressly and unconditionally waives its rights, Marlborough shall have no liability to Bitstream under this Tax Indemnity Agreement with respect to such Claim, and Bitstream shall promptly pay to Marlborough the amount of any interest free advance made to Bitstream pursuant to this Section 5.

Bitstream shall provide Marlborough with copies of or reasonable access to all documents and information to the extent relating to the contest reasonably requested by Marlborough (other than tax returns related to periods commencing on or after the Closing Date and other confidential information) and will in good faith keep Marlborough fully informed

 

9


regarding all relevant aspects of any contest. Bitstream shall allow Marlborough and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on all written submissions to the extent relating to a Claim, shall consider in good faith its requests concerning the most appropriate forum in which to proceed and other related matters and shall, if requested by Marlborough, consult in good faith with Marlborough’s counsel regarding the conduct of such contest.

Section 6. Verification. The determination of the amount payable to Bitstream under this Agreement shall be made in the first instance by Bitstream, which shall furnish Marlborough with a notice setting forth in reasonable detail the computations and methods used in computing such amount. Any such notice furnished to Marlborough shall state in reasonable detail the basis upon which such amount has been determined. If requested by Marlborough within 30 days of receipt of such notice, such determination shall be verified in writing by an accounting firm mutually acceptable to and agreed by both Marlborough and Bitstream (the “Verifying Firm”). If such verification is requested, Bitstream will provide all information (other than tax returns or books) necessary to permit confirmation of the accuracy of Bitstream’s proposed adjustment to the Verifying Firm and allow such Firm reasonable access to such information on a confidential basis and subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to Bitstream. Marlborough agrees that neither it nor any affiliate will have the right to inspect the tax returns, books, records or any other documents of Bitstream in order to verify the basis or accuracy of the calculations so made or of the amounts set forth in any such notice. The determinations made by the Verifying Firm in accordance with this Section 6 shall be conclusive and binding on Bitstream and Marlborough absent manifest error. The reasonable fees and expenses payable of Verifying Firm shall be paid by Marlborough, except that such fees and expenses shall be paid by Bitstream if such verification shall result in an adjustment in

 

10


Marlborough’s favor of more 20 percent of the indemnity payment or payments as calculated by Bitstream. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sole responsibility of the Verifying Firm shall be to verify the computation of the indemnity payment hereunder and matters of interpretation of this Agreement or tax law of any jurisdiction shall not be within the scope of the Verifying Firm’s responsibilities.

Section 7. Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Tax Indemnity Agreement shall be made in United States dollars to Bitstream by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account of Bitstream as specified by Bitstream in written directions to Marlborough or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of Marlborough payable to the order of Bitstream and mailed to Bitstream by certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices hereunder.

Section 8. Survival of Agreement. The respective obligations of Marlborough and Bitstream under this Tax Indemnity Agreement shall survive the Merger. The respective obligations of Marlborough and Bitstream arising under this Agreement are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Bitstream, Marlborough and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9. Interest on Late Payments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Overdue Rate shall be paid, on demand, on any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Tax Indemnity Agreement until the same shall be paid.

Section 10. Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered or sent if delivered in person or sent by facsimile transmission (provided confirmation of facsimile transmission is obtained), (b) on

EX-10.6 6 d247227dex106.htm TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT Transition Services Agreement

Exhibit 10.6

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 10, 2011, by and between Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Spin-Off Entity”), and Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”, together with the Spin-Off Entity, the “Parties”, each a “Party”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among Bitstream Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Buyer and Birch Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Subsidiary”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company resulting as the surviving entity (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Merger that the Company, at or prior to the Effective Time, distribute to its stockholders all of the shares of common stock of the Spin-Off Entity (together with the related transactions, actions, agreements and undertakings in connection therewith, in each case required pursuant to the Spin-Off Agreements, the “Spin-Off”);

WHEREAS, the Parties seek an orderly transition of the operations of the Company and the Spin-Off Entity following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and the Spin-Off; and

WHEREAS, in connection with and as a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Parties have agreed to provide certain transitional services following the Closing as further described herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Services to be Performed.

(a) During the applicable services period set forth on Exhibit A (the “Spin-Off Service Periods”), the Spin-Off Entity agrees to perform all of the transitional services set forth on Exhibit A (the “Spin-Off Services”) on the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or Exhibit A to the contrary, Buyer shall not be obligated to receive or continue to receive the Spin-Off Services in whole or in part and may terminate the Spin-Off Services at its sole and exclusive option at any time by providing written notice of such termination to the Spin-Off Entity.


(b) During the applicable services period set forth on Exhibit B (the “Buyer Service Periods”), Buyer agrees to perform all of the transitional services set forth on Exhibit B (the “Buyer Services”, together with the Spin-Off Services, the “Services”) on the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or Exhibit B to the contrary, the Spin-Off Entity shall not be obligated to receive or continue to receive the Buyer Services in whole or in part and may terminate the Buyer Services at its sole and exclusive option at any time by providing written notice of such termination to Buyer.

When a Party to this Agreement is providing Services to the other Party, it shall hereinafter be the “Servicing Party”, and when a Party to this Agreement is receiving Services from the other Party, it shall hereinafter be the “Receiving Party”.

(c) For a period of Twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (together with the Services Periods, the “Transition Periods”), (i) the Spin-Off Entity agrees to redirect to Buyer as promptly as practicable any Communications (as hereinafter defined) it receives that relate to the business of the Company and the Limited Company Subsidiaries, excluding the Bolt Products and the Pageflex Business (the “Company Business”), and (ii) Buyer agrees to redirect to the Spin-Off Entity as promptly as practicable any Communications it receives that relate to the business of the Spin-Off Entity, including, without limitation, the Bolt Products and the Pageflex Business (collectively, the “Communication Obligations”). “Communications” means any notice, correspondence, mail, electronic mail, internet inquiry, or other communication, including customer, supplier and vendor correspondence or other similar communications. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Party hereto is entitled to any compensation, reimbursement or other payment in connection with, or arising out of, the Communication Obligations.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, neither party shall be obligated to provide any Services to the other party hereunder until after the Effective Time.

2. Standard of Care; Liability.

(a) The Spin-Off Entity shall provide the Spin-Off Services to be rendered hereunder on a timely basis and shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the provision of such Spin-Off Services. The Spin-Off Entity shall provide the Spin-Off Services, or cause the Spin-Off Services to be provided, to Buyer in a manner and quality consistent with the manner and quality they were heretofore provided to the Company Business during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, unless a different manner or quality is mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Spin-Off Entity in writing. Buyer and the Spin-Off Entity shall cooperate with each other to ensure appropriate coordination of the performance of all Spin-Off Services and planning of the disengagement therefrom.

(b) Buyer shall provide the Buyer Services to be rendered hereunder on a timely basis and shall cooperate with the Spin-Off Entity in connection with the provision of such Buyer Services. Buyer shall provide the Buyer Services, or cause the Buyer Services to be provided, to the Spin-Off Entity in good faith in a workmanlike manner, unless a different manner or quality is mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Spin-Off Entity in writing. Buyer


and the Spin-Off Entity shall cooperate with each other to ensure appropriate coordination of the performance of all Buyer Services and planning of the disengagement therefrom.

3. Payment for Services.

(a) Subject to this Section 3, each Spin-Off Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be charged to and payable by Buyer as set forth on Exhibit A. Subject to this Section 3, each Buyer Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be charged to and payable by Spin-Off Entity as set forth on Exhibit B.

(b) Payments for Services will be due sixty (60) days from the date an invoice from the Servicing Party relating thereto is received by the Receiving Party (“Payment Due Date”). In the case of a disputed amount on an invoice, the Receiving Party shall provide the Servicing Party with a written explanation of the dispute (“Invoice Dispute Notice”) prior to the Payment Due Date and the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any such dispute. In the event that the Receiving Party has delivered the foregoing Invoice Dispute Notice, the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to pay that portion of the subject invoice that is in dispute until the dispute is resolved; provided however, the Receiving Party shall pay the undisputed amounts of the subject invoice on the Payment Due Date. The Parties shall have the right of set-off for any portion of the subject invoice that is in dispute.

4. Consents. The Servicing Party shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents, approvals, licenses or sublicenses required from third parties, including Governmental Authorities, in connection with the provision of the Services and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

5. Relationship of Parties. The Parties hereto and, if applicable, their Affiliates, are independent contractors, and neither Party nor its Affiliates, employees or representatives will be deemed to be employees or representatives of the other for any purpose or under any circumstances. No partnership, joint venture, alliance, fiduciary, agency or other relationship, except that of independent contractors, is created hereby, either expressly or by implication.

6. Relationship to Merger Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the respective rights and obligations under the Merger Agreement of any Party thereto.

7. Termination; Survival.

(a) This Agreement is a master agreement and shall be construed as a separate and independent agreement for each and every Service and the Communications Obligations provided under this Agreement. Any termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to any Service or the Communications Obligations shall not terminate this Agreement with respect


to any other Service or the Communications Obligations then being provided under this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate with regard to any Services or the Communications Obligations at the conclusion of the applicable Transition Period; unless terminated earlier (i) by the Receiving Party with respect to any Service upon prior written notice to the Servicing Party, or (ii) by the mutual written consent of both Parties. Any Transition Period may be extended by the mutual written agreement of both Parties.

(c) Neither the termination of this Agreement nor the expiration of this Agreement, in each case, either in full or with respect to any particular Service or the Communications Obligations, shall affect (i) the liability of either Buyer or the Spin-Off Entity for breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly or by implication to come into or continue in force after such termination or expiration.

8. Compliance with Laws. Each Party will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, with respect to its or their obligations and performance hereunder, comply with all applicable requirements of federal, state, local and foreign Laws, rules and regulations.

9. Confidentiality.

(a) Spin-Off Entity’s Obligation. The Spin-Off Entity and its Affiliates will treat and hold any proprietary and confidential information of or relating primarily to the operations or affairs of the Company or the Limited Company Subsidiaries, including the Company Business, disclosed or made available to the Spin-Off Entity during any Transition Period in connection with the Services or the Communications Obligations under this Agreement (the “Buyer Business Confidential Information”) in the same manner as the Spin-Off Entity treats and holds its own confidential information of a similar nature; for avoidance of doubt, the Spin-Off Entity and its Affiliates shall not access, use or disclose Buyer Business Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and except for permitted disclosures set forth in Section 10(d).

(b) Buyer’s Obligation. Buyer and its Affiliates will treat and hold any proprietary and confidential information of or relating primarily to the operations or affairs of the Spin-Off Entity, including, without limitation, the operations or affairs related to the Bolt Product and the Pageflex Business and disclosed or made available to Buyer during any Transition Period in connection with the Services or the Communications Obligations under this Agreement (the “Spin-Off Entity Business Confidential Information” and together with the Buyer Business Confidential Information, the “Business Confidential Information”) in the same manner as Buyer treats and holds its own confidential information of a similar nature; for avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not access, use or disclose Spin-Off Entity Business Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and except for permitted disclosures set forth in Section 10(d).

(c) The obligations of confidentiality contained in Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) will not apply to any information to the extent that (i) it becomes generally available to the


public or otherwise part of the public domain after the Closing Date and other than through any act or omission of the Party in breach of this Agreement, (ii) it is disclosed to the Party hereto after the Closing Date, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who has no obligation to the receiving Party not to disclose such information to others, or (iii) it is independently developed by the disclosing Party after the Closing Date without access to the Business Confidential Information.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 10(a) and Section 10(b), a Party hereto may disclose Business Confidential Information to (i) the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority or otherwise as required by any Law or (ii) on a “need-to-know” basis, and subject to the obligation to maintain confidentiality, to its officers, employees, legal counsel, accountants, banks and other financing sources or their advisors (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to herein as “Permitted Disclosures”). Before disclosing Business Confidential Information to a court or other Government Authority pursuant to this Section 10(d), a Party hereto shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the other Party of the court order, subpoena, interrogatories or government order that requires disclosure of the Business Confidential Information so that the other Party hereto may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement; provided, however, that if the disclosing Party is obligated to make such disclosure within a shorter disclosure period, then such five (5) Business Day notice period shall be appropriately shortened. The Party hereto seeking to disclose the Business Confidential Information shall consult with the other Party hereto on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement and shall otherwise cooperate with the efforts of the other Party to protect the Business Confidential Information. Further, in the event such disclosure is required under the laws, rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable Governmental Authority, the disclosing Party shall (i) redact mutually agreed upon portions of the Business Confidential Information to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, rules and regulations and (ii) submit a request to the Securities and Exchange Commission or such Governmental Authority that such portions of the Business Confidential Information receive confidential treatment under the laws, rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise be held in the strictest confidence to the fullest extent permitted under the laws, rules or regulations of any other applicable Governmental Authority.

(e) Each Party hereto agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 10, the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to any remedy that may be available to it hereunder, to (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. The obligation of confidentiality set forth in this Section 10 shall survive three (3) years from the Closing Date.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notice. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered or sent if delivered in person or sent by facsimile transmission (provided confirmation of facsimile transmission is obtained), (ii) on the fifth Business Day after dispatch by registered or certified mail, (iii) on the next Business Day if

General

  

•        Translation will be performed by professional translators with relevant background in the field:

  

•        The total billable charge will be determined by the actual final unit count, to be determined using the appropriate CAT tool. A translation unit is one English word.

  

•        Desktop publishing (DTP) charges are based on an hourly rate.

  

•        Translation and testing of all target languages proceeds in parallel.

  

•        The project will be carried out using online translation memory (TM) server technology which will allow the division of material for translation with minimum impact on quality.

  

•        The Ul will be translated by one translator.

  

•        Time required for Ul translation is based on translation of approx. 1000 words per day.

  

•        Time required for Ul QA is based on 600 words per hour; this rate may be higher or lower depending on the product’s localization readiness.

  

•        We highly recommend performing i.l8n and localization readiness tests including pseudo translation on the source-language Ul before Ul translation begins. By reducing the number of bugs reported in all languages, these steps reduce cost and time for Ul localization.

  

•        Any unexpected or undisclosed changes in project scope, such as higher word count, additional testing requirements, changes in source files, etc., may incur additional hours/expenses.

Training and

glossary creation

  

•        Translator and LQA (linguistic QA person) training is required; this proposal includes the cost of training one translator and one LQA per target language. If more than one translator or LQA is requested per language, additional training charges will be incurred based on an hourly rate. Glossary creation charges are based on an hourly rate.

  

•        The customer is responsible for approving the glossary prior to translation.

Documentation &

OTH translation

  

•        Each user guide will be translated by one translator; all volumes of documentation in one language should be handled by no more than four translators + one reviewer.

  

•        Time required for documentation translation is based on translation of approx. 2000 words per day.

  

•        Screen shot preparation - is based on processing approximately 10 screens an hour

  

•        All translations will be proofread; an additional desktop publishing (DTP) QA step will be performed on the final PDF files (two separate QA steps). The last step will be performed by our professional QA team (not DTP), who are native speakers of the target languages.

  

•        Time required for online help QA is based on 2000 words per hour.

  

•        Any changes in the content post-DTP may incur additional charges.

  

•        Graphics localization, when necessary, is includedin the line item DTP.

Test plans & QA

  

•        The client will provide Net-Translators with detailed test scripts.

Based on the above assumptions, the high-level project plan is:

 

  1. Milestone 1—Ul translation—up to three months (all languages), performed by one translator per language.

 

  2. Milestone 2—Ul QA can be completed within one month (all languages)—done by one QA person per language.

 

  3. Milestone 3—Documentation translation and QA can be completed in less than three months (all languages)—done by four translators and one reviewer per language.

if shorter completion time required, it can be achieved by translating the Ul and the documentation in parallel, with the addition of a round of proofreading on the document translations after the Ul is completed and finalized (after all QA cycles). This process will ensure that the doc translations are consistent with the final Ul terminology. We also can divide the Ul localization between a few translators and one proofreader if necessary.

These suggested time frames do not include delays on the part of Bitstream over which we have no control. A detailed Gantt chart will be provided after the kick-off meeting detailing timelines and client responsibilities more precisely.

LOGO

A down payment of 140,000$ is due upon acceptance of this agreement (in cash). The remaining balance will be paid Net 30, according to the following invoicing structure:

Payments 1 and 2 will be invoiced chronologically 1 and 2 months after project kickoff.

Payment 3 will be invoiced after milestone 1 is completed.

Payment 4 will be invoiced after Milestone 2 is completed.

Payment 5 will be invoiced chronologically 1 month after payment 4.

Payment 6 (last payment) will be invoiced upon completion of project and Milestone 3.

By end of each month, Net-Translators will deliver Bitstream the translations which are ready at that point, the rate of progress should be between 1000-1500 words per business day for Ul translation and 1500-2000 words per business day for Documentation translation. Each payment will be executed only if Net-Translators met the rate of progress as agreed above.

The project will commence once the down payment has been received.

In addition, Net-Translators will transfer a check payable to Bitstream on the agreed down payment amount (the “Check”). The Check will be held in escrow by Emmanuel Kadouch, Adv. (the “Escrow Agent”) according to the terms and conditions set forth in the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is agreed that after Net-Translators deliver the glossary in all 10 languages, the Check will be returned by the Escrow Agent to Net-Translators, all as fully detailed in Exhibit A.

This proposal is subject to the Net-Translators standard terms and conditions, a copy of which is located on the Net-Translators website at www.net-translators.com/safot/terms_and_conditions.asp

Appendix B: Glossary of Terms & Services

 

term    definition
cultural acceptance
evaluation
   A review of software components to determine whether products will operate in the most locale-sensitive, culturally appropriate fashion without mistakes or offense. The software is also checked to ensure that the literal meaning of content and design elements such as colors, dimensions, shapes, graphics, idioms, metaphors, sounds, icons, symbols, etc., will translate as intended. A localization engineer works with the customer to address problems.
desktop publishing (DTP)    Formatting of all target language materials including text and graphics to match the source language documents. Most popular DTP and related design applications are supported.
DTP QA    Checking target language documents to ensure the layout is correct and identical to the source files (with the exception of text expansion or other layout adjustments that are part of the DTP process for translated materials.) DTP QA is a separate step from DTP itself; it is performed by native speakers of the target language.
documentation validation    A final test of documentation readiness performed by operating the translated software using the translated documentation. It verifies that all documentation Instructions and references are correct.
glossary   

A list of terms and essential keywords which exist in the English source version of the material to be translated. A glossary is created as the first step in a project: a content manager reviews the source text, extracts the relevant terms and prepares a list of terms to be translated and those that should not. Time permitting, the customer provides definitions of each term. These terms are then translated into all target languages and (Ideally) sent to the customer’s In-country reviewers for confirmation.

 

A large, high-quality glossary makes for better translations. It dramatically improves translation consistency and allows automatic translation tests to be performed. Most Net-Translators proposals include Glossary Creation (creation of the English glossary) and Glossary Translation (translation of the English glossary to all target languages.)

graphics localization    Extracting translatable text from source graphics (those used in software, documentation, help or web pages), translating it, and placing it into new translated graphics files.
Internationalization (i18N)    The process of designing a product or service so that it can be adapted to various languages and locales without engineering changes. Net-Translators i18N consulting can include guidance on how to Implement i18N techniques as well as helping customers implement their i18N strategy when their resources are limited.
localization    The process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local look-and-feel. In addition to language translation, localization involves many steps to adapt details such as idiomatic language, time zones, currency, national holidays, local color sensitivities, product or service names, cultural sensitivities, gender roles, geographic references, and more. A successfully localized service or product is one that appears to have been developed within the local culture.
localization readiness
assessment
   A complex series of procedures and checks performed to ensure that the English version of a product (software, document, or website) is ready to be translated. This step saves time and money in the localization process and is a particularly Important the first time a product is localized, even if It delays the start of the translations. The first and very significant step is pseudo-translatlon followed by testing to ensure bugs are not transferred to the target languages. Localization readiness also includes evaluating and planning any needed adaption on the basis of cultural preferences, preparing tools for translation, training translators, and more.
localization test plan    A uniform test methodology used to guide linguistic testers once translation is complete. The plan details items to be tested such as product features, languages, platforms, browsers (if applicable), etc. it includes establishing a bug reporting process (who fixes which bugs), developing test scripts, and setting up a schedule for updating translation memories to prevents bug reoccurrence.
project management    A full-time, professional project manager who is responsible for monitoring, communicating, and executing all aspects of the project, managing the project schedule, timely delivery of final localized products, managing change orders, status reporting, and budget tracking.

term    definition
pseudo-translation
  

Part of localization readiness assessment, this series of tests emulates translation to the

Target languages before formal translation begins. During this step, bugs and Issues present the source (or other product components) that are likely to cause problems during localization are identified and corrected. Examples of problems typically detected include text expansion, placement of visual elements such as buttons, non-externalized text, encoding issues, and more. Pseudo translation is a highly effective way to save cost and time during translation and testing as It avoids propagating bugs Into target languages.

quality assurance (QA)    Localization QA (or testing) is performed – either onsite at Net-Translators Multilingual Testing Center or remotely- by professional In-house or In-country testers and linguists in collaboration with the customer’s expert user(s). Product components are tested for functional, cosmetic, and linguistic bugs as outlined in the localization test plan.
   Functional bugs are related to proper working of the application or website In the target language on any supported platform, browser, etc. Examples include compatibility with localized code pages, text input acceptance, menu functionality, string manipulation, etc.
   Cosmetic bugs are errors or problems in the product’s appearance. Examples Include text truncation. line breaking, Improper encoding for screen display, accent character spacing, etc.
   Linguistic bugs are characterized by incorrect, incomplete or non-contextual translations. Examples include out of context or missed translations, grammatical or typographical errors, etc. Linguistic reviews are performed by testers who are native speakers of the target languages.
regression testing    A testing pass run after all bugs have been declared fixed to confirm they are indeed fixed and that no other problems have surfaced during the debugging process.
screen capture    Saving a copy of a monitor’s/screen’s display into a ‘picture’ file format for placement into documentation. When localizing Uls and documentation, screen shots must be captured in each target language.
Style Guide   

A target language document describing a customer’s set of standards for certain grammar and

linguistic preferences, it can also include corporate style standards for the target languages. The Guide helps to maintain style and preference consistencies from one project to another.

testing    See OA
training (transistors)    The initial phase in each project in which translators learn about the products, the industry, and any other factors that enhance their understanding of the context and meaning of what should be translated. Training can be accomplished in many ways including webinars, demos, tutorials, reading documentation, even installing the application on the translator’s computer and running different scenarios. Net-Translators strives to keep the same translators for each customer, so training related to a particular customer or product is usually a one-time investment.
translation memory   

A powerful translation tool containing a collection of source-translation pairs of phrases in each

target language. By helping translators reuse existing translations, translation memories dramatically improve consistency, speed translation, and reduce cost and time-to-market.

The MSDH options will be issued on the Distribution Date pursuant to a final prospectus that will be filed as part of the Registration Statement after it has been declared effective by the Commission and the Company is then subject to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, as of the Distribution Date and prior to the date on which any MSDH options have been exercised, the Company expects that it will be eligible to register all of the securities eligible for issuance under the MSDH Incentive Compensation Plan, including all of the MSDH options, on Form S-8 promptly after the Distribution Date in accordance with Securities Act Release No. 7646 (February 25, 1999), which permits the registration of shares underlying options at any time before the option is exercised, without regard to when the option became exercisable.

3. Your discussion of the adjustment to the exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the Adjusted MSDH Option is dense and difficult to understand. Please revise this section to provide a description of the adjustment that is reader-friendly and that makes clear to the reader the potential impact of the adjustment on the exercise price. In this regard, it appears that you should provide an example of the impact of the formula using current information along with a sensitivity analysis demonstrating a reasonable range of possible outcomes, as applicable. Please revise accordingly.

The Amendment includes a revised discussion of the adjustment to the exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the Adjusted MSDH Option under the heading “The Distribution” that we believe is a more reader-friendly description that sets forth a formula and hypothetical example as follows:

Each outstanding option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (the “Bitstream Options”) shall be divided into (i) one option to purchase a share of Bitstream common stock (each an “Adjusted Bitstream Option”) and (ii) one option to purchase a share of MSDH common stock (each a “New MSDH Option”). Each Adjusted Bitstream Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity compensation plan of Bitstream and as provided in the respective option agreements governing such Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such Adjusted Bitstream Option will be adjusted as described below. Each New MSDH Option shall be issued under the MSDH Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, to be established by MSDH prior to the

Distribution Date, but shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Bitstream Option as of the Distribution Date, except that the exercise price of such New MSDH Option will be adjusted as described below. In addition, the vesting of all Adjusted Bitstream Options and all New MSDH Options shall be accelerated upon completion of the Bitstream Merger in accordance with the provisions of the Bitstream and MSDH equity compensation plans, as applicable. The New MSDH Option shall be adjusted to the product of the original exercise price of such Bitstream Option multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the estimated enterprise value of MSDH and the denominator of which is the sum of the total consideration in the Bitstream Merger and the estimated enterprise value of MSDH.

The exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and the New MSDH Options will be determined by allocating the exercise price of the original Bitstream Option between the two new options in proportion to the relative value per share of the stock of the two companies. For this purpose, the value of Bitstream stock will be determined by the price to be paid to shareholder in the Bitstream Merger, and the value of MSDH stock will be based on the estimated enterprise value of MSDH, which is approximately $1.85 per share. Based upon Bitstream’s balance sheet as of                     , 2011 and our estimates of total transaction costs and certain assumptions about our results of operations through the closing date of the merger, we estimate that the price paid to Bitstream shareholders in the Bitstream Merger will be approximately $ per share. Based on these estimates, an existing Bitstream Option with an exercise price of $         per share will be divided into an Adjusted Bitstream Option and a New MSDH Option, and the exercise price of $         per share will be allocated between the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the New MSDH Option as follows:

 

Adjusted Bitstream

Option Exercise Price

   Bitstream Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $        x $        =
$        +  $1.85
     $   

 

New MSDH Option

Exercise Price

   MSDH Value x Original Exercise Price =
Bitstream Value + MSDH Value
   $1.85 x $        =
$        + $1.85
     $   

We believe that a more detailed sensitivity analysis, illustrating a broader range of outcomes, is neither necessary nor appropriate, for the following reasons. First, this type of sensitivity analysis is normally used only when the option pricing will fluctuate based upon the market value of the underlying securities, which is not the case in this instance. The exercise price for each existing Bitstream option is fixed, and the manner in which the exercise price will be allocated between the Adjusted Bitstream Option and the New MSDH Option will be based on the appraised value of MSDH, which is fixed, and the purchase price for the Bitstream stock, which under the terms of the Bitstream merger is a fixed cash amount that will be agreed upon between Bitstream and Monotype Imaging prior to the Distribution Date and disclosed in the final prospectus distributed to stockholders of Bitstream in connection with the Distribution. Second, because the sensitivity analysis would have to be done separately for each exercise price of an existing Bitstream option, it would necessarily be a lengthy and cumbersome disclosure, which would provide little valuable information. Finally, the total exercise price of the Adjusted Bitstream Options and New MSDH Options will not change, and the formula only affects the manner in which the total exercise price is allocated between the two options.”

Risk Factors, page 5

4. We note your disclosure in the second full sentence on page 36 regarding consolidation. Please include a risk factor that discloses the possible effects of consolidation on your profitability or advise.

The Amendment includes an expanded discussion in our risk factor under the heading “If we are unable to successfully compete in our markets, our financial results will be negatively affected” as follows:

In addition, there has been a trend toward industry consolidation in our markets for several years, with major digital press vendors adding software solutions to their product portfolios, including Xerox Corporation, which owns Pageflex competitor XMPie, the Kodak InSite product, and Hewlett Packard with its SmartStream product line (which resells the Pageflex iWay product). We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their market positions in an evolving industry and as companies are acquired or are unable to continue operations. We believe that continued industry consolidation may result in stronger competitors that are better able to compete for customers. This could lead to more variability in operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, rapid consolidation could also lead to fewer customers and partners, with the effect that the loss of a major customer could harm our revenue.

Risk Factors - We may not be able to protect…, page 10

5. You disclose that you “are currently…subject to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation.” Please tell us where you provided the disclosure required by Regulation S-K Item 103 or why the disclosure requirement does not apply.

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. The risk factor has been revised in the Amendment to state that “Although we currently are not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims, we have been in the past, and may be in the future, subject to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation as part of our policy to vigorously defend our intellectual property rights, including rights derived from third-party licensors.”

Risk Factors - We incur significant costs…, page 11

6. Please address here, or disclose in a separate risk factor, when you will be subject to management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting. Also, given that you are currently a smaller reporting company, disclose the lack of an attestation report requirement for smaller reporting companies.

We have revised this risk factor in the Amendment to include the following additional disclosure:

Pursuant to Instruction (a) to Item 308 of Regulation S-K, we expect that we will not be subject to management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting until our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, because the market value of our securities held by non-affiliates is below $75 million, we are a smaller reporting company. As such, our independent auditor will not be required to issue an attestation report regarding our internal control over financial reporting in annual reports that we file with the SEC on Form 10-K.

Risk Factors - Changes in tax law…, page 12

7. As currently written, this risk factor could apply to any issuer or offering. Please revise to link this risk to you. For guidance, refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 7 (June 9, 1999).

We are not currently aware of any specific changes in tax law or tax rates that could have a specific, material adverse effect on the Company. Accordingly, we have deleted this general risk factor that was not specific to the registrant.

Forward-Looking Statements, page 12

8. Please refer to Securities Act Section 27A and Exchange Act Section 21E and tell us how you determined that the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements apply to you in light of the fact that this filing constitutes your initial public offering. Alternatively, revise to delete any reference to these provisions.

The Company has revised the cautionary disclosure of Forward-Looking Statements in the Amendment to delete the references to Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

Reasons for the Distribution, page 12

9. Please disclose how the information in the risk factor at the top of page 8 was considered in determining that the Pageflex and BOLT products should be spun off. In addition, clarify how the factors in the bullet points were weighed with regard to one another. For example, clarify whether a spin-off was contemplated prior to, or apart from, the merger with Monotype.

As part of its exploration of it strategic alternatives beginning in September 2010, the Board of Directors of Bitstream considered the sale of Bitstream as a whole as well as all or any of its three product lines. The Board of Directors first considered the spin-off of MSDH and the Pageflex and BOLT products in its evaluation of the offer by Monotype Imaging to acquire Bitstream’s Fonts products. The Bitstream Board of Directors determined that completing the sale of its Fonts products to Monotype Imaging pursuant to a merger and spin-off was the most tax efficient structure that would yield maximum value to Bitstream’s shareholders both with respect to the cash proceeds of sale and the retained equity in MSDH resulting from the spin-off. In assessing the spin-off, the Bitstream Board of Directors considered all of the factors in the bullet points in the risk factor at the top of page 8 but did not assign any particular weight to each factor in concluding that the merger and spin-off were in the best interests of Bitstream’s shareholders. We have included enhanced disclosure in the Amendment under the heading “Reasons for the Distribution” to clarify how and when the Bitstream Board of Directors considered the spin-off and these factors.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information, page 19

10. We note your disclosure on page 17 which describes the division of the current Bitstream stock options into one adjusted Bitstream stock option and one adjusted MSDH stock option. Please tell us how you considered this provision when preparing your pro forma financial information.


Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc.

The Company has determined that under the provisions of the Bitstream option plans they are obligated to issue options to existing Bitstream option holders for the purchase of MSDH shares in order that the Bitstream option holders would not be diluted as a result of the planned merger and Distribution. Accordingly, there is no charge for MSDH to record upon issuance of these options, and the Company has not reflected any pro forma adjustment related to the MSDH option issuance in these unaudited pro forma statements.

We have added this same disclosure to the notes to our pro forma financial statements.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, page 23

12. Please supplementally provide us with support for the quoted information disclosed in the last full sentence on page 28.

This quote is taken from the Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (PIA/GATF) press release dated July 27, 2005 announcing all of the award recipients in 2005. Pageflex Storefront is near the end of the release with the judges’ comments. The PIA/GATF press release dated July 27, 2005 is publicly available at the following internet web address: http://www.i-grafix.com/index.php/news/australia/2005-pia/gatf-intertech-awards-announced.html

The complete section on Pageflex Storefront reads as follows:

Pageflex, a Division of Bitstream Inc.

Pageflex Storefront

This easy-to-implement software package helps print service providers with limited Web development expertise to access the variable printing market by making it easy for them to set up an online literature management and ordering site with document customisation capabilities. The turnkey, server-based product has two primary components: Storefront Administrator, a browser-based tool used to set up the site, and Pageflex Studio, a desktop application providing layout tools with variable data and customisation abilities. “It took us just one day to get it up and running, and that was without training,” wrote one user. The judges described the system as “elegant,” “user friendly,” and “amazingly powerful.”

Mobile Browsing Technology, page 31

13. Please reconcile your disclosure in the fourth sentence with the second paragraph on page 26 where you indicate that BOLT has been installed over 20 million times. If possible, disclose the number of installations with greater specificity.

We analyzed our server statistics as of December 15, 2011 and the number of downloads is 44 million. The BOLT cloud determines the number of downloads from the number of unique IDs it has issued to BOLT clients since the beginning of time. Each client has a unique ID, so that the cloud can tell them apart and store certain data relating to that client’s individual account. This means that when a user upgrades BOLT to a new version it does not count as a new install since the original unique ID is retained. However if the user deletes all traces of BOLT on the device and then reinstalls it, then this will count as a new install since the cloud would issue a new unique ID in this case. Additionally, sometimes a user’s unique ID would get lost and then the cloud has to reissue a new unique ID—this does count as a new install since a new unique ID was issued by the cloud. The exact magnitude of the user ID loss problem is unknown. There are two known causes of the loss of unique user IDs:

 

   

The device may lose the record store where the ID is stored.

 

   

One or more bugs in the BOLT system that sometimes cause the loss of these IDs.

We have reconsidered the BOLT disclosure given that we have not generated material revenue by monetizing this free user base and eliminated the installed base reference, as well as, the discussion of the free user base monetization and revised the disclosure in the Amendment.

14. Please tell us the basis for your statement in the third paragraph that BOLT speed is consistently 25 to 50 percent faster than its competitors.

This disclosure is based on our internal analysis and measurements of the page loading/rendering of our BOLT browser as compared to the Android native browser and Opera Mini, which is our main device independent competitor. We assessed data based on the average of five measurements with empty cache over WiFi connections. We tested download speeds from facebook, Google, twitter, Yahoo! Fantasysport, and ESPN internet websites. The data demonstrated the range of faster download times for the BOLT browser when compared over wireless connections as disclosed in the Registration Statement.

We have reconsidered the BOLT disclosure given that we have not generated material revenue by monetizing this free user base and eliminated the installed base reference, as well as, the discussion of the free user base monetization and revised the disclosure in the Amendment.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded research and development expenses of $3,273, $5,514 and $5,154, respectively.

16. Please expand your disclosure in this section to clarify your research and development strategy in light of the disclosure in the carryover sentence at the top of page 7.

We have revised the discussion of our research and development efforts in the Amendment to include the following statement:

Our current research and development strategy is focused on several enhancements to our existing products, updating our products to deliver them in new markets and through new access points, integrating our products with each other and with third party products, and developing new software products to deliver to our customers. In the summer of 2011, we began globalizing our products for ten different languages covering a multitude of locales in Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, and Latin America. This process involves localization of the products and a new family of features that cover the needs of multi-lingual and multi-currency deployments. We are making important evolutionary enhancements to the product line including adding support for social media, multi-digital formats, introducing new APIs, and adding new capabilities around multichannel marketing. Our leadership in Mobile-to-Print applications in our space continues with development underway for business-to-business and business-to-consumer applications for Apple and Android mobile devices. During the coming year, we will be introducing a whole new set of capabilities for our OEM partner, Heidelberg, and we will continue to aggressively update our integrations with HP and Xerox through our OEM offerings.

18. Please disclose the reason for the increase in sales of your Pageflex Storefront product for 2010. Likewise, disclose the reason for the increase in revenues from consulting, custom design, and training services for the six months ended June 30, 2010.


Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc.

December 21, 2011

Page 10

 

We have updated the discussion of revenue with our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 in the Amendment and we have provided the following disclosure for the increase in revenue:

The increase in revenue from software licenses from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily resulted from sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010 of $871 and to an increase in sales of our Pageflex Storefront product of $177 partially offset by a decrease in sales of our Pageflex Server products. iWay products were available for sale for nine months in 2011 versus seven months in 2010 and we have seen an increase in OEM royalties for units shipped since the acquisition of the iWay product line. We continue to be affected by the continued global economic downturn, as are our customers. However with the stabilization of the iWay product and our increase in sales and marketing resources, we expect our revenue to increase during the next year as compared to 2010 and the first nine months of 2011.

Service Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased from service revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to support contracts for the iWay product of $941 and an increase in consulting services engagements related to the Pageflex Storefront product, which increased revenue for consulting services by $147 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Other product services revenue for customer support, consulting, custom design and training services were generally flat year over year. The increase in iWay support revenue is due to the buildup of deferred support revenue from increased customer sales and OEM royalties during the prior year. We expect the revenue from support contracts to continue to increase for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012. Consulting, graphic design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers and may be affected more by economic concerns as customers may delay design changes, custom development and training. We are not able to determine at this time how these economic concerns will impact our service revenue during the remainder of 2011.

Operating Leases, page 52

19. Refer to the second paragraph in this section. Please provide additional disclosure regarding the current plans that management has to reduce operating costs, including the anticipated timeline for implementing the plan.

We do not currently have definite plans to reduce operating costs and have not implemented costs cutting procedures affecting the operating leases.

We have updated the discussion in the Amendment providing the following additional disclosure:

We will be utilizing approximately 50% of the square footage of the Marlborough, Massachusetts headquarters after the decrease in personnel associated with the contemplated Bitstream Merger. Management anticipates a reduction in operating costs through the elimination of certain fixed costs, including without limitation the possible sub-letting or returning to the landlord the unutilized space that currently exists. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing these cost cutting plans or that such plans will be successful or, if successful, how long they will take.
