AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE TO

 

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (“Schedule TO”) is filed by Keynote Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Keynote”), in connection with its offer to purchase 7,500,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, including the associated preferred stock purchase rights issued under the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2002, between Keynote and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent, at a price of $9.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. Keynote’s offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated March 24, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the offer. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed by Keynote on March 24, 2003, as set forth below. This Amendment No. 1 and the Schedule TO are intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Item 4.    Terms of the Transaction.

 

(i)    Item 4 of the Schedule TO and Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase (“Number of Shares; Proration”) are hereby amended and supplemented as follows. On Page 1 of the Offer to Purchase, the first sentence of the last paragraph is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following sentences:

 

Proration. The term “proration period” refers to the period of time during which shares may be tendered and withdrawn in the offer. The proration period will end on the expiration date. On the expiration date (and, accordingly, the completion of the proration period), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, if more than 7,500,000 shares, or such greater number of shares as we may elect to purchase, subject to applicable law, have been properly tendered and are not properly withdrawn, we will purchase such properly tendered shares on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares.

 

(ii)    Item 4 of the Schedule TO and Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase (“Conditions of the Offer”) are hereby amended and supplemented as follows. On Page 10 of the Offer to Purchase, the eighth bulleted clause is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following bulleted clause:

 

    the commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity or crisis, including, in our reasonable judgment, the occurrence of any material act or acts of terrorism, directly or indirectly involving the United States or any of its territories, in which case we shall promptly inform our stockholders whether we will waive the condition or terminate the offer;

 

On Page 10 of the Offer to Purchase, the tenth bulleted clause is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following bulleted clause:

 

    in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the offer, in our reasonable judgment, a material acceleration or worsening thereof, in which case we shall promptly inform our stockholders whether we will waive the condition or terminate the offer; or
