Explanatory Note
Novell, Inc. (“Novell”) is filing this amendment to Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of correcting page 9 of 11 of Exhibit 99.1 to Novell's 8-K filed on February 26, 2009.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 26, 2009, Novell, Inc. issued a press release reporting financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Subsequently, a transpositional error was found with respect to “Net revenue: Services” in the “Identity and Security Management” and “Systems and Resource Management” columns of the Consolidated Unaudited Condensed Segment Results Table (page 9 of 11) for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008. This error caused certain other numbers to be misstated in the “Identity and Security Management” and “Systems and Resource Management” columns of the Table for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008. The corrected version of that Table is set forth below.
