Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

On August 20, 2009, Unify Corporation (“Unify” or the “Company”) announced the appointment of Tim Bacci to its board of directors. Mr. Bacci was appointed to Unify’s board of directors pursuant to an agreement to appoint an individual acceptable to the holders of AXS-One, Inc. convertible notes and Unify’s nominating committee described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2009. Unify acquired AXS-One on June 30, 2009 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 16, 2009, by and between Unify, UCAC, Inc. and AXS-One. As a Unify board member, Mr. Bacci will receive the standard compensation that is provided to Unify board members as described in our latest proxy statement. Concurrently, Unify expanded its board of directors to seven to accommodate Mr. Bacci’s appointment. Mr. Bacci has not currently been appointed to any Unify board committee.

Mr. Bacci was a director and stockholder of AXS-One and beneficially owned certain convertible promissory notes issued by AXS-One. Following the closing of the merger on June 30, 2009, Mr. Bacci received 3,887 shares of Unify common stock directly. Mr. Bacci is also managing partner of BlueLine Partners which held directly and indirectly stock and convertible debt in AXS-One. Following the merger BlueLine Partners directly and indirectly owns 758,692 shares of Unify stock. Additionally, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the merger agreement BlueLine Partners and its affiliates may earn additional shares in Unify. Securities held by BlueLine Partners and its affiliates are deemed beneficially owned by Mr. Bacci pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time of the merger, the 762,579 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Bacci were valued at approximately $2.55 million based on the closing price of Unify’s common stock on June 30, 2009.

A copy of the press release issued by Unify on August 20, 2009 with regard to this action is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
