ITEM 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     From July 2 through July 4, 2009, ANTs software inc. (the "Company")
entered into agreements with certain promissory note holders (the "Promissory
Note Holders"), in which their notes were converted into Series A Preferred
Stock as of July 1, 2009. Pursuant to the agreements, the total aggregate amount
owed under the notes totaling $8,503,226, plus accrued and unpaid interest
through the date of the conversion totaling $425,161 was converted into
8,928,387 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

     In addition to the note conversion, three outstanding warrants dated
November 15, 2005, October 18, 2007 and December 18, 2007, for the purchase of
an aggregate amount of 3,002,150 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.80 per
share, have been extended for one year. All three warrants now expire on January
31, 2012.


Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


     The Promissory Note Holders qualify as an accredited investor as such term
is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company to the
Promissory Note Holders as well as the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Series A Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Act. The offer and
sale of the shares and the shares underlying the Preferred Stock by the Company
to the Promissory Notes Holders is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder.
