THE COMPANY The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of digitizing tablets, pen plotters, ink jet plotters, thermal transfer printers, and wide format graphic cutters. The Company's products are used in applications with high-performance computer graphics systems, including computer-aided design, manufacturing, engineering, publishing and graphic arts. The Company's products are sold by its sales force primarily through distributors and also to OEMs which incorporate the Company's products into their own computer products. The Company's products may be integrated with most personal computers, including IBM-compatible personal computers and Apple personal computers, workstations from Sun Microsystems and Digital Equipment, and publishing systems from Scitex, and are compatible with over four hundred applications including software such as AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Windows and Aldus Freehand. The Company's strategy is to pursue sales and market share growth for its existing product lines, through product enhancements and new product introductions, to devote substantial resources to research and development, including the development of new products for use in connection with pen-based computing and computer graphics, and, as and if appropriate opportunities arise, to acquire or develop one or more complementary product lines or businesses serving the computer graphics markets. The Company is seeking to make acquisitions of related or complementary businesses primarily in exchange for additional shares of the Company's Common Stock and/or cash. Effective October 31, 1994, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CAD Nevada, acquired the assets and liabilities of CAD Delaware in exchange for approximately 510,129 shares of Common Stock in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. CAD Nevada is engaged in the mail order distribution of computer peripheral equipment used in computer assisted design and related applications, including products manufactured by the Company. The Company is continually evaluating potential acquisition candidates. However, no assurance can be given at this time that any acquisitions will become probable or that any material acquisitions will be consummated. The Company is a Delaware corporation formed in 1972. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 8500 Cameron Road, Austin, Texas 78754, and its telephone number is (512) 835-0900. -3- SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The Selling Shareholders listed in the following table have agreed to sell the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite their name.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The sale of the Common Stock offered hereby may be effected from time to time directly or by one or more broker-dealers or agents, in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions) on the Nasdaq National Market, in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods of distribution, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In the event one or more broker-dealers or agents agree to sell the Common Stock, they may do so by purchasing the Common Stock as principals or by selling the Common Stock as agent for the Selling Shareholders. Any such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for which such broker-dealer may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary compensation). Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of the Common Stock may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the Company's Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-6. In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the Common Stock will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the Common Stock may not be sold unless the Common Stock has been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. Each of the Selling Shareholders has agreed with the Company that, without the Company's prior consent, they will not sell on any trading day an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the greater of 3,000 shares or 20% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock for the preceding ten trading days. All of the proceeds generated from the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be immediately deposited into the accounts of the Selling Shareholders. -4- USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any proceeds from the offering. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by Robert B. Sims, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. EXPERTS The historical consolidated financial statements and schedules of Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1993 and 1994, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended May 31, 1994, and the supplemental consolidated financial statements of Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1993 and 1994, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended May 31, 1994, have been incorporated by reference herein and in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP covering the May 31, 1994 historical and supplemental consolidated financial statements refer to a change in the method of accounting for income taxes in 1993. In addition, the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on the supplemental consolidated financial statements indicates that the supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Summagraphics Corporation and CAD Warehouse, Inc. on November 10, 1994, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of consummation. These supplemental financial statements do not extend through the date of consummation. However, they will become the historical consolidated financial statements of Summagraphics Corporation and subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business combination are issued. The financial statements of CAD Warehouse, Inc. as of September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and for the nine-month period and the year then ended have been incorporated by reference herein and in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. -5- PART II ITEM 14.

The Registrant's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide, consistent with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, that no director of the Registrant will be personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages arising from the director's breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, this does not apply with respect to any action in which the director would be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law nor does it apply with respect to any action in which the director (i) has breached his duty of loyalty to the Company and its shareholders, (ii) does not act in good faith or, in failing to act, does not act in good faith, (iii) has acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, has acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (iv) has derived an improper personal benefit. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, every Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. To the extent any of the persons referred to in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is successful in the defense of the actions referred to therein, such person is entitled, pursuant to Section 145, to indemnification as described above. The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy insuring directors and officers against liabilities for which they are entitled to indemnity as described above in the event the Registrant is unable or fails to make payment. II-1 Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has 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. ITEM 16. EXHIBITS. The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Index to Exhibits on page II-7 of this Registration Statement, which Index is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) 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; (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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the -------- ------- information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) 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. (b) 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) and 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-2 (c) 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 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. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Austin, State of Texas, on January 31, 1995.

II-7 EX-5.1 2 OPINION OF ROBERT SIMS EXHIBIT 5.1 [SUMMAGRAPHICS LETTERHEAD] January 31, 1995 Summagraphics Corporation 8500 Cameron Road Austin, Texas 78754 Ladies and Gentlemen: I have acted as counsel to Summagraphics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 133,323 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), by John G. Panutsos, Rosemary Wollet and David C. Hoffer (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders"), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). In connection with this opinion, I have examined such documents and records of the Company and such statutes, regulations, and other instruments and certificates as I have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion. I have assumed that all signatures on all documents presented to me are genuine, that all documents submitted to me as originals are accurate and complete, and that all documents submitted to me as copies are true and correct copies of the originals thereof. I have also relied upon such certificates of public officials, corporate agents, and officers of the Company and the Selling Shareholders to the extent necessary or advisable with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters contained therein which were not independently established. Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares being offered for sale by the Selling Shareholders, when sold as described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. This opinion may be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Consent is also given to the reference to me as having passed on the validity of the Shares under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. Very truly yours, /s/ Robert B. Sims Robert B. Sims, General Counsel -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
