Item 8.01 Other events

The 2006 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of FileNet Corporation (the “Company”) will be held at the company’s headquarters at 3565 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, California, 92626, at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 15, 2006. This meeting date is more than 30 days after the date of last year’s annual meeting. Stockholders of Record at the close of business on April 19, 2006, the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote, at the 2006 Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof.

If a Stockholder desires to have a proposal considered for presentation at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders then the proposal must be delivered in writing to the Corporate Secretary of the Company no later than April 12, 2006 and must comply with the requirements of the Company’s by-laws and Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

If a stockholder, rather than including a proposal in the Company’s proxy statement as discussed above, commences his or her own proxy solicitation for the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, or seeks to nominate a candidate for election or propose business for consideration at such meeting, the Company must receive notice of such proposal or nomination no later than April 12, 2006. If the notice is not received by such date, it will be considered untimely, and the Company will have discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited for the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders with respect to such proposal if presented at the meeting. Any such notice must comply with the Company’s Bylaws.

Proposals and notices should be directed to the attention of Secretary, FileNet Corporation, 3565 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, California, 92626
