TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-134788) (the “Registration Statement’) of Ansoft Corporation (the “Company”).
On July 31, 2008 (the “Merger Date”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, ANSYS, Inc. (“ANSYS”), Evgeni, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANSYS (“Merger Sub”), and Ansoft LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANSYS and formerly known as Sidney LLC (“Merger LLC”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, the Company was merged with and into Merger LLC, with Merger LLC as the surviving entity (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into the right to receive (i) cash, without interest, in an amount equal to $16.25 per share, and (ii) 0.431882 of a share of ANSYS common stock. As a result of the Mergers, there is no longer any common stock of the Company outstanding.
In connection with the Mergers, the Company has terminated all offerings of Company securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the Company which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Merger Date.
