Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     The Company has amended certain terms of a convertible  promissory  note. A
convertible  promissory note in the initial principal face amount of $1,500,000,
was amended to decrease the conversion price to $1.20 per share of the Company's
Common Stock, and to extend the expiration date of the note to January 31, 2011.

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On May 30, 2008,  ANTs software inc.  ("ANTs" or the "Company")  closed the
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") by and among ANTs software, inc.,
ANTs Holdings,  Inc., (the "Sub") a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct
subsidiary  of  ANTs,  Inventa   Technologies,   Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Inventa"),  and Robert T.  Healey,  solely in his  capacity  as  Stockholders'
Representative of Inventa. ANTs had entered into the Agreement on May 15, 2008.

     At the Effective Time as defined in the Agreement,  the Sub was merged with
and into  Inventa  (the  "Merger").  In  connection  with the Merger,  Inventa's
outstanding  shares of capital stock were  exchanged  for and converted  into an
aggregate of 20,000,000 unregistered shares of ANTs common stock, ANTs made cash
payments  totaling  $3,000,000  and  ANTs  issued  two  promissory  notes in the
aggregate initial principal face amount of $2,000,000,  bearing 10% interest per
annum, payable quarterly,  and convertible into shares of ANTs common stock at a
conversion  price of $0.80,  with  maturity at January 31, 2011.  Following  the
Merger,  Inventa  continued  as the  surviving  corporation  as a  wholly  owned
subsidiary of ANTs and the separate  corporate  existence of the Sub ceased. The
Certificate of  Incorporation  of the Sub in effect at the Effective Time became
the  certificate  of  incorporation  of  Inventa  except  that  Article I of the
Survivor's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  was amended at the Effective Time to
provide that the name of the Surviving  Corporation  was "Inventa  Technologies,
Inc."

     The issuance of the  securities  described  above was made in reliance upon
Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  These  securities have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered  or sold in the  United  States  absent  registration  or an  applicable
exemption from  registration  requirements.  The issuance of these  unregistered
securities  were made in order to effect  the  Merger.  This  current  report is
neither an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of offers to purchase, securities.


                                   SIGNATURES
