Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On July 30, 2004, the Registrant, Openwave Systems Inc. (“Openwave”) consummated its previously announced acquisition of Magic4 Limited (“Magic4”), a private company incorporated in the United Kingdom, acquiring the entire issued share capital of Magic4 from the existing Magic4 shareholders. As a result of the transaction, Magic4 became a wholly owned subsidiary of Openwave. The purchase price consisted of 2,271,446 newly issued shares of Openwave’s common stock, cash in the amount of approximately $54.0 million and loan notes with an aggregate face value of approximately $3.8 million. The loan notes are payable on demand after 6 months, but no later than August 31, 2005 and bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum. Openwave funded the cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition using cash on-hand. The net cash remitted to Magic4 shareholders will be approximately $46 million after accounting for Magic4’s cash on-hand and excluding the payment of the loan notes. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase accounting method. A copy of the related press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1
