EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-A amends and supplements the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by Salary.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2008 (including the exhibits thereto, the “Form 8-A”). Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated November 14, 2008 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”).
Item 1. | Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered. |
Item 1 of the Form 8-A is amended and supplemented by adding the following:
Amendment to Rights Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 31, 2010 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Kenexa Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Parent”), Spirit Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), and the Company, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into an amendment to the Rights Agreement, effective as of August 31, 2010 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, renders the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Tender and Support Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010, by and among Parent, Purchaser and certain holders of one or more shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Tender and Support Agreement”), the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Amendment provides that the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and/or the Tender and Support Agreement, or the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and/or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will not be deemed to result in either Parent or Purchaser becoming an “Acquiring Person.” In addition, the Amendment provides that none of a “Stock Acquisition Date,” a “Distribution Date,” a “Section 11(a)(ii) Event” or a “Section 13 Event” shall occur, and that “Rights” will not separate from shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in each case, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and/or the Tender and Support Agreement, or the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and/or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Amendment also provides that the Rights will become exercisable in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date and at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the Record Date, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 of the Rights Agreement, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 of the Rights Agreement or (iv) the first time at which Purchaser accepts for payment any shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Date”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company will provide the Rights Agent with notice of the Acceptance Date. Additionally, the Amendment provides that on the
Acceptance Date, the Rights Agreement will terminate, if it has not otherwise terminated, without further force or effect and none of the parties to the Rights Agreement nor the holders of the Rights will be entitled to any benefits, rights or other interests under the Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to purchase or otherwise acquire Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company or of any other Person; except that Section 18(a) of the Rights Agreement will survive such termination. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, the changes to the Rights Agreement pursuant to the Amendment will be of no further force and effect.
Miscellaneous
The Rights Agreement and the Amendment are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-A and incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the material terms of the Amendment as they relate to the Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
