DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-47834) (the “Registration Statement”) of Synplicity, Inc., a California corporation (“Synplicity”), pertaining to the registration of an aggregate of 13,695,389 shares of Synplicity’s common stock for issuance under its 1995 Stock Option Plan, 2000 Stock Plan (formerly known as 2000 Stock Option Plan), 2000 Director Option Plan, and 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2000. On October 12, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective.

 

Synopsys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Synopsys”), St. Andrews Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys, and Synplicity have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the merger of St. Andrews Acquisition Corp. with and into Synplicity with Synplicity surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys (the “Merger”) and the conversion of all outstanding shares of Synplicity’s common stock into the right to receive $8.00 per share of cash, without interest.

 

On May 15, 2008, Synopsys acquired outstanding shares of Synplicity’s common stock and subsequently effected the Merger pursuant to Section 1103 of the Corporations Code of the State of California. The Merger became effective as specified in an Agreement of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California on May 15, 2008. At the conclusion of the Merger, shares of Synplicity’s common stock will cease to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

In connection with the Merger, Synplicity has terminated all offerings of its common stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by Synplicity in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities shares of its common stock that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Synplicity hereby removes from registration all shares of Synplicity’s common stock registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of May 15, 2008.
