As described more fully in Item 6 of this Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference, Symphony is party to the Put/Call Agreements, pursuant to which the Tennenbaum Funds have the right to require Symphony to purchase from the Tennenbaum Funds, and Symphony has the right to require the Tennenbaum Funds to sell to Symphony, up to an aggregate of 587,918 shares of Common Stock.  The exercise price of the Put Option or Call Option includes accumulated interest to the date of such exercise and therefore is determined at the time of such exercise.  Symphony expects that any funds used by Symphony to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Put Option or Call Option would be paid out of working capital. Symphony made no payment upon entering into the Put/Call Agreements.

 

In January 2005, Symphony acquired 617,500 shares of Common Stock in a series of open market transactions at prevailing market rates.  The aggregate purchase price for these shares of Common Stock was $4,034,965, and the funds used to make these purchases were paid out of working capital.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Symphony acquired 24,446,941 of the shares of Common Stock reported on this Statement in exchange for the Intentia Securities.  Symphony acquired the Intentia Securities for investment and in the ordinary course of business.

 

Following the consummation of the Offer, Dr. Wadhwani was appointed as a director of the Company effective April 25, 2006.

 

Symphony acquired 617,500 of the shares of Common Stock reported on this Statement for investment and in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Put/Call Agreements, Symphony has the right to acquire 587,918 of the shares of Common Stock reported on this Statement.  The Reporting Persons expect that any acquisition of shares of Common Stock by Symphony pursuant to the Put/Call Agreements will be for investment and in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company.

 

The Reporting Persons may review Symphony’s investment in the Company on a continuing basis and any of the Reporting Persons may in the future engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, other stockholders and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of the Company. Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to purchase or sell shares of Common Stock, depending on various factors including, without limitation, the results of any such discussions, the Company’s financial position and business strategy, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares or selling some or all of their Shares or engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares.  Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the Managing Persons, have no present plans or intentions that would result in or relate to any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

 

(a)  The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 25,652,359 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), consisting of 25,064,441 Shares held directly by Symphony and 587,918 Shares which Symphony has the right to acquire pursuant to the Put/Call Agreements.

 

The Company has informed the Reporting Persons that there were 183,180,928 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2006.  The Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 25, 2006.  The foregoing percentage was calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, which specifically excludes from such calculations all securities not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges and which are beneficially owned by any person other than the Reporting Persons.

 

9



 

By virtue of the relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own , the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole.  The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons beneficially own those shares held by any other members of the group.

 

(b)  25,681,941 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by Symphony.  Symphony has the right to acquire an additional 587,918 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Put/Call Agreements described more fully in Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Symphony GP controls the voting and disposition of the Shares through the account of Symphony, of which Symphony GP is the sole general partner.  Dr. Wadhwani is the Managing Director of Symphony GP and either has sole authority and discretion to manage and conduct the affairs of Symphony GP or has veto power over the management and conduct of Symphony GP.  By reason of these relationships, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as indicated above.

 

Symphony GP and Dr. Wadhwani disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares held directly by Symphony.  The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons share beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(c)  Except for the transactions described in Item 3 above related to the completion of the Offer, which is herein incorporated by reference, there have been no transactions in Common Stock by the Reporting Persons in the past sixty (60) days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Except as set forth above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Managing Persons has beneficial ownership of any Shares.

 

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

 

Symphony is party to Put and Call Option Agreements, as amended (the “Put/Call Agreements”), entered into with Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC (“SVEF”) and Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC (“SVOF” and, together with SVEF, the “Tennenbaum Funds”), funds managed by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which Symphony has the right to require the Tennenbaum Funds to sell to Symphony (the “Call Option”), and the Tennenbaum Funds have the right to require Symphony to purchase from the Tennenbaum Funds (the “Put Option”), up to an aggregate of 1,161,664 Series A Shares (345,049 of which are held by SVEF and 816,615 of which are held by SVOF) (the “Option Shares”).

 

The Put/Call Agreements provide that, if the Tennenbaum Funds accept a public offer in exchange for the Option Shares, the Put/Call Agreements shall apply to the new shares of the acquiring company and the number of Option Shares shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares received by the Tennenbaum Funds as consideration for the Option Shares.  In connection with the Offer, the Tennenbaum Funds received 587,918 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the 1,161,664 Series A Shares held by the Tennenbaum Funds based on an exchange rate of 0.5061 shares of Common Stock per Series A Share.

 

The Put/Call Agreements set the original exercise price of the Call Option or Put Option at $2.92 per Option Share, plus applicable interest as set forth the Put/Call Agreements.  The Put/Call Agreements provide that, following the exchange of the Option Shares in a public offer, the exercise price shall be adjusted to be equal to the original exercise price per Option Share, including applicable interest, multiplied by the number of Option Shares held by the Tennenbaum Funds prior to the share exchange, divided by the number of shares received by the Tennenbaum Funds as consideration for the share exchange. In connection with the Offer and pursuant to this adjustment mechanism, the exercise price of the Put Option and Call Option was approximately $6.49 per share as

of the completion of the Offer.

 

This description of the Put/Call Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Put/Call Agreements and the amendments related thereto, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.2 through 99.7 and which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Based on the foregoing and the transactions and relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.  The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are a group, or have agreed to act as a group.

 

The responses set forth in Item 3, 4 and 5 of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

3         Purchase Price

 

3.1      The purchase price to be paid by Symphony upon exercise of the Call Option or the Put Option (the “Purchase Price”) shall be SEK 20.3 per Option Share, adjusted upwards by application of an interest rate of 6.5 per cent (6.5%) per annum.

In the event that the restriction set out in section 2.3 above has been applied at any time during the term of this Agreement, the restriction regarding the number of times that the Put Option may be exercised set out in the penultimate sentence of section 2.2 above shall not apply thereafter.

 

6         Closing

 

Closing shall occur on such time as may be agreed between the Parties but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Call Notice or Put Notice, as the case may be by payment versus delivery, using the VPC system’s facilities for Real Time Gross Settlement no later than 12:00 noon Stockholm time on the closing date.

 

7         Representations and Warranties

 

Tennenbaum represents and warrants that it will, upon exercise of the Call Option or Put Option, as the case may be, deliver to Symphony good and marketable title to the Option Shares and that the Shares are free and clear of all liens, claims, options or other encumbrances and that no right of first refusal or similar third party rights exists with regard to such Option Shares.

 

8         Public Offers for Shares In the Company and Recalculation of Purchase Price

 

8.1       Tennenbaum is entitled to accept a public offer for the shares in the Company in exchange for payment with new shares in the acquiring company or other securities, (the “New Option Shares”). If Tennenbaum accepts such an offer, this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the New Option Shares and the number of Option Shares shall be adjusted to equal the aggregate number of the New Option Shares received by Tennenbaum as consideration for the Option Shares and the Purchase Price per New Option Share shall be recalculated in accordance with the following formula.

 

3



 

The recalculated
Purchase Price per
 New Option Share

 

=

 

the Purchase Price for each Option Share immediately prior to the announcement of the public offer multiplied by the number of Option Shares held by Tennenbaum prior to accepting the offer

 

 

 

 

the number of New Option Shares received by Tennenbaum as consideration for the Option Shares immediately after the offer

 

8.2      Tennenbaum is entitled to accept a public offer for the shares in the Company in exchange for payment with cash. If Tennenbaum accepts such an offer, Symphony shall be entitled to receive the cash consideration received by Tennenbaum in the offer and Tennenbaum shall be entitled to receive from Symphony the Purchase Price for each Option Share immediately prior to the announcement of the public offer multiplied by the number of Option Shares held by Tennenbaum prior to accepting the offer. These amounts shall be netted against each other and the net amount (the “Net Amount”) shall be paid to the Party entitled thereto as soon as possible after the settlement of the public offer. The Net Amount shall be adjusted for any tax effects (positive or negative) for Tennenbaum and/or Symphony as a result the transactions resulting from the acceptance the public offer. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to reach an agreement on the amount of such adjustment.

 

8.3      Tennenbaum is entitled to accept a public offer for the shares in the Company in exchange for payment in the form of a combination of cash and securities, in which case sections 8.1 and 8.2 above shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

8.4      The provisions of section 8.1 through 8.3 above shall apply mutatis mutandis in case of a legal merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

 

8.5      In the event of the occurrence of a corporate action of the Company that results in a change in the share capital or number of issued shares, or in the event of a dividend in kind from the Company, the number of Option Shares and/or the applicable Purchase Price shall be adjusted in order to compensate for any changes in the theoretical economic value of the Call Option and Stock Option following directly from such action.

 

9         Restriction on Transfers of Shares

 

Except as set out in section 8 above, Tennenbaum undertakes not to sell any of the Option Shares without the prior written consent of Symphony. For the avoidance of doubt, Tennenbaum is entitled to sell shares in the Company of Class A, however, not to the extent that its aggregate holding of shares in the Company of Class A falls below the number of Option Shares stated in the introductory paragraph (B). Further, Tennenbaum is entitled to sell all or a portion of the Option Shares on the day this Agreement ceases to apply in accordance with section 17.3 below.
