Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On April 9, 1999, BMC Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), announced that in excess of 95% of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of New Dimension Software Ltd., an Israeli corporation ("New Dimension"), were tendered prior to the expiration of the Company's previously announced tender offer at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, April 8, 1999. All Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offer (the "Tendered Shares") were accepted by the Company on April 9, 1999. On April 14, 1999, the Company acquired for $52.50 net per Share (the "Per Share Amount") all of the Tendered Shares. The Per Share Amount was fixed pursuant to the Share Purchase and Tender Agreement, dated as of March 7, 1999, between the Company and New Dimension (the "Tender Agreement") and was determined through arm's length negotiations between the parties prior to the signing of the Tender Agreement. The Company paid a total of approximately $614 million in cash to acquire the Tendered Shares. Approximately $500 million of this amount was funded through the Company's $500 Million Senior Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"). The remaining balance was paid from the Company's working capital. The Credit Agreement related to the Credit Facility, dated as of April 13, 1999, by and among the Company and various financial institutions identified therein, is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, in accordance with the Tender Agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse New Dimension for payments made to the holders of options granted under stock option plans of New Dimension or any subsidiary of New Dimension (the "Options") in exchange for the cancellation of such Options. The aggregate amount of such reimbursement will be approximately $40.5 million. The Company intends to acquire the remaining outstanding Shares of New Dimension pursuant to Section 236 of the Companies' Ordinance (New Version) 5743-1983 of the State of Israel. In accordance with Section 236, the Company will declare by notice to the remaining shareholders that it is unilaterally acquiring (the "Compulsory Acquisition") the remaining outstanding Shares not yet held by it on the same terms as those purchased in the tender offer. The Company anticipates that the Compulsory Acquisition will cost approximately $32.5 million and will be paid from the Company's working capital. The Tender Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to the Company's Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1, filed with the Commission on March 11, 1999. A description of the tender offer, including additional information required pursuant to Item 2 of Form 8-K, is contained in the Tender Offer Statement, the text of which is incorporated herein by reference.
