     This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as amended through the date hereof (as amended, the “Schedule 14D-9”), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2008, by Moldflow Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the cash tender offer by Switch Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autodesk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Autodesk”), disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended through the date hereof (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), originally filed with the SEC on May 15, 2008, to purchase all of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $22.00 per share net to the selling stockholders in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 15, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which were filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) thereto. Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.

EX-99.(A)(7) 2 b70046a1exv99wxayx7y.htm EX-(A)(7) MEMORANDUM TO COMPANY'S EMPLOYEES, DATED MAY 14, 2008 exv99wxayx7y
Exhibit (a)(7)
May 14, 2008
Moldflow employees,
iMUG2008 begins next week in Dearborn, Michigan, and many of us have helped with preparation and will be actively involved with the events. Our most enthusiastic customers will be there to learn from us, and from each other. We expect it to be a terrific experience, as usual.
Those of you at iMUG, as well as everyone else around the world, may get questions from customers and business partners about Autodesk’s intent to acquire Moldflow. It’s certainly been the number one topic of communication within the company. While we don’t know many specifics yet, and won’t until the acquisition closes, I can share Autodesk’s high-level current thinking about its plans.
To avoid disrupting our business, Autodesk intends to delay substantial integration activity. They’ve said they’d like to spend the coming months getting to know us, our practices, our products, etc., so they can make the smartest longer-term decisions to keep our business strong, our employees engaged, and our customers delighted.
As I said during the all-staff presentation with Buzz Kross, I believe this acquisition will put Moldflow in an environment where we can reach the next level of the company’s evolution. Being part of Autodesk presents growth opportunities we haven’t even imagined yet, and a chance to be part of an organization with a broad and impressive product portfolio and more than 9 million loyal customers. Even when important answers seem to come painfully slowly, I ask you to keep that in mind.
Roland
