(1)                                  Pursuant to Rule 416(a), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Registrant’s Common Stock that become issuable under the plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of Registrant’s Common Stock.  The preferred stock purchase rights, which are attached to the shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock being registered hereunder, will be issued for no additional consideration.  Accordingly, no additional registration fee is required.

 

(2)                                  Represents Registrant’s shares issuable under stock options (i) granted under the Macromedia, Inc. plans listed below, as amended, and assumed by the Registrant on December 3, 2005 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization among the Registrant, Avner Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Macromedia, Inc. and (ii) to be granted pursuant to the Registrant’s 2005 Equity Incentive Assumption Plan.

 

(3)                                  Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h). The price per share and aggregate offering price are based upon (a) the weighted average exercise price for outstanding options granted pursuant to the plans and schemes of Macromedia, Inc. assumed by the Registrant and (b) under Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market on December 2, 2005, for the Registrant’s 2005 Equity Incentive Assumption Plan.

 

(4)                                  Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act of 1933, the registration fee is offset by registration fees previously paid by Macromedia, Inc., which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with respect to unsold shares of Common Stock registered under the following registration statements on Form S-8, which Macromedia, Inc. will deregister by post-effective amendment:

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.           INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Code”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Registrant’s Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware Code.  The Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Code.  The Registrant

 

II-1


 

also maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 for its directors and principal executive officers.  In addition, each officer and director is a party to a written agreement which states that the Registrant agrees to hold each of them harmless against any and all judgments, fines, settlements and expenses related to claims against such person by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant, and otherwise to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the Registrant’s Bylaws and under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Delaware Code.

Item 9.           UNDERTAKINGS

 

1.                                      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)                                  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)                                    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)                                To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement.

 

II-3


 

(iii)                            To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed by the issuer pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference herein.

 

(b)                                  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)                                  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

2.                                      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.                                      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised 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.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
