**Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares. Persons who respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number. On June 29, 2001, RadiSys Corporation, an Oregon corporation ("Parent"), and Drake Merger Sub, Inc., an Iowa corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Microware Systems Corporation, an Iowa corporation (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser has commenced a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by the Merger Agreement, the "Offer") to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company (the "Shares"), for $0.68 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Following the successful consummation of the Offer, the parties will take the necessary action so that Purchaser will be merged with the Company (the "Merger"), and the Company will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Kenneth B. Kaplan, Mesirow Capital Partners VI and Motorola, Inc. (the "Shareholders") have entered into Shareholder's Agreements (the "Shareholder's Agreements") with Purchaser and Parent. Under the terms of the Shareholder's Agreements, the Shareholders have agreed, among other things, to tender their Shares in the Offer and to vote their Shares against any transaction that is inconsistent with the Offer and the Merger. The Shareholder's Agreements terminate at the earlier of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or the date that Parent or Purchaser purchase and pay for the Shares tendered by the Shareholders. Also in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a termination and buy-out agreement dated June 29, 2001 (the "Buy-Out Agreement") with Elder Court, LLC and other specified parties (collectively, "Elder"). Under the agreement, Elder agreed to terminate a securities purchase agreement, an equity line of credit agreement and two registration rights agreements between it and the Company and to deliver to the Company for cancellation a convertible debenture and several warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, Elder agreed to tender at least 250,000 Shares in the Offer. Also in connection with the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company have entered into a 19.9% Option Agreement (the "19.9% Option Agreement"). Under the 19.9% Option Agreement, the Company granted to Parent an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase 3,814,462 Shares for a purchase price of $0.48 per Share. The Option will become exercisable by Parent upon the occurrence of a "triggering event" before the Option is terminated. The triggering events are the same events as those that trigger payment by the Company under the Merger Agreement of a termination fee equal to $775,000. The Option terminates at the earlier of the effective time of the Merger or 180 days after the one year anniversary of the termination date of the Merger Agreement. If Parent or Purchaser shall have purchased the Shares tendered by the Shareholders and Elder and the Merger shall have become effective, then the Option shall expire without ever having become exercisable. If the conditions precedent are satisfied to permit Parent to exercise the Option and if Parent does exercise the Option, then the Shareholders' Agreements and the Buy-Out Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with their respective terms without Purchaser or Parent ever having purchased any Shares tendered by the Shareholders and Elder. Parent and Purchaser are referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." By reason of the arrangements under the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder's Agreements, the Buy-Out Agreement and the 19.9% Option Agreement, the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially own (a) the Shares owned by the Shareholders, (b) 250,000 Shares owned by Elder, and (c) if the conditions precedent are satisfied to permit Parent to exercise the Option, upon such exercise and as a result of such exercise, 3,814,462 Shares. In accordance with Rule 13d-4, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such Shares, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission of such beneficial ownership or that the Reporting Persons are obligated to file this Schedule 13D. Pursuant to Rule 14d-2, the Reporting Persons have caused to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO dated July 5, 2001 (the "Schedule TO"). The Schedule TO, including its exhibits, contains a discussion of the Offer and the Merger, and reference is made to the Schedule TO for more complete information concerning the matters referred to above. The Offer is being made by means of the Offer to Purchase dated July 5, 2001 and filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO (the "Offer to Purchase") and a Letter of Transmittal which is also filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO. Certain information set forth in the Offer to 4 of 8 Purchase is incorporated herein by reference as more specifically provided below.
