INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (together with the exhibits thereto and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 13E-3”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2009 by Corel Corporation, a Canadian corporation (the “Company” or “Corel”), relating to the tender offer, as amended, by Corel Holdings, L.P. (the “Offeror”), a holding company organized by VCP II International LLC, a manager of private equity funds (together with its affiliates, including the Offeror, “Vector”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, no par value, (the “Shares”) not already owned by Vector for $4.00 per Share upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase, dated November 16, 2009.
This Amendment relates to the consolidation (the “Consolidation”) contemplated by the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 29, 2009 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). The Consolidation is the second and final step in the Offeror’s acquisition of the Company.
On January 26, 2010, at the special meeting of shareholders of the Company, the shareholders approved the special resolution authorizing the Consolidation. At the effective time of the Consolidation, Shares were consolidated on the basis of every 871,589 Shares into one (1) new Share (“New Common Share”). Fractional New Common Shares were not issued. Shareholders who did not hold sufficient Shares to qualify for the issuance of New Common Shares pursuant to the Consolidation are entitled to receive cash consideration equal to the consideration paid under the tender offer, or U.S. $4.00, in respect of each pre-Consolidation Share held in lieu of any fractional shares otherwise issuable as a result of the Consolidation. As a result, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror.
The Company’s Shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ stock market and the Toronto Stock Exchange promptly following the Consolidation, and thereafter the Company will cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian law and its reporting obligations under U.S. securities laws will be suspended.
On January 26, 2010, the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. entered into mutual releases with each of Dan Ciporin, Steven Cohen and Barry Tissenbaum (collectively, the “Designated Directors”) pursuant to which each of the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. released the Designated Directors from any and all claims they may have against the Designated Directors arising from their service as directors (excluding, in the case of Barry Tissenbaum, claims relating to services performed after the date of the release), and the Designated Directors released the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. from any claims they may have arising from their service as directors other than the compensation they were otherwise entitled to as directors of the Company (excluding, in the case of Barry Tissenbaum, claims relating to services performed after the date of the release). Also on January 26, 2010, each of the directors of the Company entered into mutual releases among and between such directors pursuant to which each such director released the other directors from any and all claims they may have arising from their service as directors.
