Item 5. Other Events.
On October 17, 2002, the board of directors of QRS Corporation (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The terms and conditions of the rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated October 17, 2002, between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC, as rights agent (“Mellon”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 18, 2002.
On February 18, 2003, the Company and Mellon entered into the First Amendment to the Rights Agreement. The First Amendment amends an exception to the definition of “Acquiring Person” in the Rights Agreement, dated October 17, 2002, between the Company and Mellon (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”), which exception now provides that if the board of directors determines in good faith that a person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person has become an Acquiring Person inadvertently and the person divests or divested as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares so that the person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then the person shall not be an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement.
The First Amendment to the Rights Agreement is attached as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
Exhibit 4.2 (*) | First Amendment to the Rights Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2002, between QRS Corporation and Mellon Investor Services LLC. |
| (*) | Previously filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 20, 2003, and incorporated herein by reference. |
